AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, JULY 20. By the ro3 al mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Lott, we have advicrs from New York to the 803, Boston to the 9th, and Halifax to the 10th inst. She brings 586,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Canada arrived at Boston on the Bth, having made the quickest passage on record. The United States screw steam-ship Lafayette put into New York on the 7th to repair damages, having been in contact with a vessel. The steam-ship Empire City, Captain Wilson, had arrived at New York from Chagres with specie to the amount of 500,000 dollars in gold dust. From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to the 30th ult. The cholera continued to prevail in various parts of the island. Freights had become rather more plen tiful. In tobacco Cavendish was abundant and in small inquiry. Leaf was worth 84 to 86 per 1001 b. Our Havannah markets extend to the 2d. The rates of freights are lower, and the prices of sugars much de pressed, with small operations. In coffee there was nothing doing. In tobacco a large business had been transacted. No change had occurred in freights. Ship pers would only give 50s. per ton to Cowes. Exchange o❑ London, 61 premium. Some disturbances had occurred on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Our commercial accounts from New York advise that money was easily obtained at 6to 7 per cent. It was estimated that 2,500,000 had been received per steamers Prometheus, Empire City, and Georgia. ExchangPs remain unaltered. Tho rates are—On London, 1101 to 1101; Paris 581 to 5 10. Hamburgh, 36i to 37; Amsterdam, 41i to 411; Bremen, 79i t) 794. 'The cotton market bad declined ic. for middling and under, while the better grades are firmly held at full prices, the stock being barely sufficient to supply home wants. For floor the market has advanced on the Baltic's news, but afterwards became less buoyant. For grain there was a good demand, with firm prices. The demand for iron was light. The tobacco market was declining, causing more ac tivity in the article. Freights to London were—for flour, 25.; naval stores, 35.; measuremet t and heavy goods were 255. to 305.; provisions, per barrel, 2s. 6d. to 35.; ditto, per tierce, 4s. 6d. to ss. To Havre, cotton, j. To Liverpool, a lair amount of corn, wheat, and flour were offering; for grain in bulk, 5f to 6; cotton, 5-32; and for heavy goods, 17s. 6d.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In my last note I commented on Wednesday's races, of course including the Goodwood Stakes, on which event the public either took my advice there and then, or, singular coincidence, fell exactly into my views on this important stake, for they not only sent Harpsi chord (of whom I remarked, on the authority of my Newmarket correspondent, that "he might be expected to figure conspicuously in the rear") from seven to twelve to one, at which price he was friendless on Sa turday evening, but also brought the four that I selected (Empress colt, Narcissus, Humphrey, and Presto) as my team for the eventful struggle, with one exception (Presto), into strong play, which ended in elevating the Empress colt, now called The Grand Duke, five points, Narcissus two, and Hum phrey two or three also. I remarked in my last note that " Humphrey, Est 21b, Narcissus, Est 11b, Empress colt, sst 51b, and Presto, sst 316, form a very formidable quartette; and should Vampyre and Borneo miss the mark or not start (extremely probable), one of the four, I fancy, will turn out to be the trump-card on the day, the EM PRESS COLT and NARCISSUS for choice." It should be borne in mind that The Grand Duke is reported to have beaten Vampyre rather easily than otherwise, receiving comparatively little weight for the difference in years; this, of course, renders Vampyre's starting very dubious. I have reason to believe that the field will be composed of but few others besides the following:— W indischgratz, Due -an-durras, Montague, Cocktail Crystal Palace, Clarissa Humphrey, Narcissus, Becto n , Kick-up-the-dust, The Clarissa, Duke, Presto, Harpischord, and Miss Whip colt. I will now turn my attention to Thursday's races, the first of which that catches my eye being The Bentinek Memorial Stakes, with seventy-six subscribers; the entry embracing nearly all the crack Derby names of next year. How many of them will go to the post I know not, but somehow fancy that Bay Itosalind will represent Scott's stable, and Red hind the Goodwood lot, in opposition to the flying BROTHER TO ELTHIRON, to whom I, and I hope Judge Clarke, will award the palm of superiority. The 100 Sovs. Produce Stakes will be a very uninteresting affair between THE SQUAW and JUGGERNAUT, former for choice. The Racing Stakes will be contested by Hippolytus, Bst 71b, Midas, Bst 131 b, the Confessor, Bst 101 b, and Buckhound, Bst 71b; and if HIPPOLYTUS and The Confessor are not first and secend, with Buckhound and Midas third and fourth, I shall be much deceived. HOULARIN or Wingenund will carry off the 200 Sovs. Stakes, over the T.Y.C. The Sussex stable will have their work to do to triumph o'er Chief Baron Nicholson in the T. Y. C. spurt for the Sussex Stakes. I see nothing to defeat the Goodwood stable among the entries for the Molecomb Stakes, without it is Father Thames. Of the thirty no minations to the Goodwood Cup, about two-thirds, from various causes, are already hors de combat; the field, I presume, will consist of the following:—Voltigeur, 4 yrs, 9st 31b; Cariboo, 4 yrs, 9st 1113; Landgrave, 5 yrs, Bst 11lb; Cossack, aged, Bst 101 b; Marquis, 3 yrs, 7st 41b; Nancy, 3 yrs, 7st; Hesse Homburg, 3 yrs, 7st; Montes, 6 yrs, Est 121 b; Young Altisidora, aged, Est 81b; and War Morse, 4 yrs, 6st 81b. From the above Hesse Hom burg or Landgrave will be withdrawn, but which I know not. At the present moment I fancy the two C's in pre ference to the rest, but this opinion is not definite, and must stand adjourned a day or two. Latest bet ting this morning : Gratwicke Stakes 6 to 4 on Hernandez, 3 to 4 aget Miserrima. Ham Stakes —9 to 4 agst Houlakin, 5 to 1 agst Father Thanies, 6 to 1 agst Claverhouse, 6 to 1 agst Merry-go round. Drawing-room Stakes—Even on Hesse Hom burg; 6to 4 agst Lord Exeter's couple. Goodwood Stakes-7 to 1 agst The Grand Duke; 10 to 1 agst Presto; 10 to 1 agst Narcissus; 12 to 1 agst Harpsi chord; 12 to 1 agst Humphrey; 16 to 1 agst Clarissa; 16 to 1 agst Montague; 20 to 1 agst Cocktail; 20 to 1 agst Miss Whip colt; 30 to 1 egat British Boy; 30 to 1 agst Vampyre; 50 to 1 agst Hurry Scurry. Goodwood Cup-4 to 1 aget Nancy; sto 1 agst Cariboo; Bto 1 each agst Cossack, Landgrave, and Hesse Homburg; 10 to l agst Young Altisidora; 15 to 1 each agst Voltigeur, Clincher, Marquis, and Essedarius.

SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 20.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam-ship Thames, Captain George Abbott, ar rived this morning, at half-past seven o'clock, from the West Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieut. Dennehy, Admiralty agent. On her homeward voyage the Thames experienced fine weather until the 18th, 19th, and 20th, when, approaching the Channel, it became very thick and squally. Her latest dates are, Havannah, June 23; Cbagres, June 25; Carthagena, June 27; Jamaica, June 28; Demerara, June 27; Trinidad, June 28; Barbadoes, June 30; Grenada, June 29; Porto Rico, July 2; St. Thomas, July 4; An tigua, July 2; Jacmel, June 30; Santa Martha, June 8; Grey Town, June 18.

Oar accounts frOm Ja - maica by this packet are not of much importance. The cholera had appeared in several districts, and a few cases had occurred in Kingston. Tho weather in certain agricultural parts of the island bad been unfavourable. Regarding the state of the island the Colonial Standard has the following:— " We continue to receive from all parts of the country complaints of the want of labour experienced generally throughout the sugar parishes, and especially at St. George, Metcalfe, and St. Mary. A gentleman largely connnected, heel as a proprietor and attorney, with the management of sugar estates assures us that never since the year 1838 does he remember to have witnessed such an indisposition on the part of the people to work as at the present moment. The parishes of Portland, St. George, Metcalfe, and St. Mary make the principal portion of their crops between the months of March and October, so that they are now in the middle of crop without the means of taking it off. There is scarcely an estate in any one of the parishes we have named that has not canes rotting on the ground, while the plants are being choked with grass and weeds; and yet, though wages have advanced 25 per cent., labour is not to be procured either to take off the one or clear the other. On the contrary, the quantum of labour obtain able for a day's wages is often little short of 50 per cent. below what it was last year. It is probable that one third at least of the estimated crop of this year, which should have been the largest exported for many years from Jamaica, will be lest from sheer inability to take it off'; but the consequence to the crops of future years is a subject for still greater alarm. Unless the planters be assisted, and that immediately, by a large influx of in dustrious population, it is difficult to conjecture how many estates that are now struggling with this diffi culty in the face of foreign competition can escape abandonment."

Sofie Cruvelli appeared in the part of Elvira in Ernani, and afforded the habitues an opportunity of marking the immense progress which she has made in her professional career, as this was the cha racter in which she made her debtit at this theatre in 1848. Her performance was full of power and full of pro mise. That promise is now more than fulfilled, and the power is regulated (and by being so regulated, increased, and intensified) by the most highly cultivated taste, and the most perfect knowledge of art ; she has studied deeply and conscientiously, and deep and conscientious study invariably meets with its reward. The celebrated Ernani involami was the very perfection of bravura singing; never have we heard it so brilliantly rendered, and her acting throughout was magnificent . . The trio in the last act was superbly rendered, and in the concluding scene she was exquisitely pathetic. She is certainly the best Elvira who has yet appeared. The opera was strongly cast, Sims Reeves being the Email', and acting it with all his wonted fire, and Co letti the Carlo V., in which he was admirable. The Don Silva of Scapini was a careful and meritorious perform ance. The house was crowded. FRENCH PLAYS. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. On Saturday evening Victor Liugo'ssublime drame Angelo Tyran de Padoue was produced here for the first time, Madlle. Rachel sustaining the character of La Tisbe, which is most assuredly her greatest character i❑ the modern (as contradistinguished from the classical) drama, if it be not, as we are inclined to think, the greatest and most effective character in her whole reper toire. Victor Hugo tells us in his preface that his ob ject in writing this drama was to bring face to lace two sad and melancholy figures—woman in society, and woman cast out of society—to show these two, who may be considered as the types of all womankind, often gene rous, always unhappy—to defend the first against des potism, the second against contempt—to show what temptations have been resisted by the virtue of the one, and what tears have washed out the stains of the other. To bring the guilt home to the really guilty, that is to say, to man who is strong, and to the social state which is absurd. La Tisbe, the actress, the vaga bond, the mistress of Angelo the tyrant of Padua, is the type of the outcast; and Catarina, his miserable and unhappy wife, is the type of the woman in society. Madlle. Rachel acts La Tisbe, and her sister, Madlle. Rebecca Felix, is Catarina. The play is not altogether unknown to the English play goer, a version of it having been produced some years ago by the Covent Garden company during their exile to the Victoria. The grand scene between these two types of woman in society and woman out of society, which takes place in the fifth scene of the second act, is perhaps one of the most sublimely terrific in the whole range of the drama. La Tisl36, albeit she is the mistress of Angelo, loves to distraction a certain Rodolfo, who in his turn loves Catarina, the wife of the Podesta; La Tide has just tracked her lover to the chamber of Catarina, who has barely time to secrete him in her oratory, when her rival enters, and in reply to Catarina's demand, " Qu' eat-ce que c' est que ceci?"— answers, in a voice of terror " Ceci? ce qua c'est? Tenez, je vais vous le dire. C'est la maitresse du podesta qui tient dans sea mains la femme du podesta." The majestic appear ance of Rachel, as in most impassioned tones she delivered these terrible words, was that of a goddess. an incarnate Nemesis, to whom had been delivered the commission to avenge the wrongs of outcasts upon that society which is, in the subsequent part of the same scene, the subject of the most bitter and sarcastic outpour ings of the contempt and hatred of genius for the hollow conventionalities of society, and which were delivered by Rachel in a manner to create not only admiration and wonder, but awe. Nothing could exceed the sublimity of her delivery of the following speech : "Ce qua c'est que ceci, madame? C'est une come dienne, une fine de theatre, une baladine, comme vous nous appelez, qui tient dans sea mains, je viens de vous le dire, une, grande dame, une femme mariee, une femme respect& une vertu! qui la tient dans sea mains, dans sea ongles, dims ses dents! qui peut en faire ce qu'elle you dra, de cette grande dame, de cetto bonne renomirea do tea, et qui va la deehirer, la mettre en pieces, la mettre en lambeaux, la mettre en morceaux! Ah! mes dames les graudes dames, je no sais pas ce qui va arriver, mais co qui est stir, c'est que j'en ai une a sous mes piAs, une de vous autresl et que j© ne la lacherai pas! et qu'elle pent etre tranquille! et qu'il aurait mieux valu pour elle la foudre sur sa tete que mon visage de vent l© sien! Dites done, Madame, je vous trouve hardie d'oser lever les yeux sur moi quand vous avez un amant chez vous!" Her energy, her expression of intense hatred and of gratified but not satiated revenge, was absolutely terrific. Beautiful, however, was the transition to the most ex quisitely pathetic tenderness when discovering that Catarina had saved the life of her mother. La Tisbe determines to save her and render her happy, which she at length accomplishes, although at the sacrifice of her own life. Those who have not seen Rachel in this character have yet to see the most sublime and terrific delineation of passion which she has yet exhibited, and we regret exceedingly that she will perform it but once more. She was admirably supported by Madlle. Rebecca Felix, who, as Catarina, fairly divided with her the honour of the representation. The theatre was crowded. SERIOUS ILLNESS or MR.

'0 THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. (EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 16th, debate in Committee on the County Courts Further Extension Bill. Much of it turned on the question of receiving the evidence of husband or wife where the other was concerned. It was powerfully argued that the law in these Courts must not be made better, because the law in a higher Court was worse; and in consequence only half of the projected improvements was carried. As a man whose feet aro pinched, is principally anxious that both feet should be pinched alike, so in law the uniformity of the law is the beauty of the law, and must carry the day against im provements which would leave us with a lop-sided legis lation. In these discussions the Attorney-General stood out as a new-light man. He has manifestly conceived the idea, that the inquiries of the last half-century on the Greatest Happiness principle in legislation and politics, might by possibility be turned to use. Think of an Attorney-General talking of " entering the thin edge of the wedge" into the defects of the law. It is clearly the sprouting of more of the good seed. He shall be called angelus regis and not diabolus, as was the rude title our forefathers assigned to the office from their experience of its holders. I take credit for having in these letters been among the first to name him to you as a man that must rise. On Thursday what is called a conversation was brought on, in defence of the Bishops against the accusations made against them on the subject of their revenues. There is a want of distinctness in the charge advanced; or at all events it is so overlaid with other matter, as to have the effect of obscurity. The laws relating to property mustebe in a bad state, when there is any wide difference between a man's legal right and his moral. If the laws relating to ecclesiastical pro perty are in a state which leaves an opening for doing injustice to successors, it is surely with the laws rather than with the present actors, that the responsibility lies. If the law, for instance, decreed that every man to whom a life interest was nominally left, had the right of sell ing that interest for three of the longest lives he could hit upon, it would be nearly as unreasonable to expect that those who found themselves possessed of this power should do other than act upon it, as it would be to ex pect every legatee to decline to enter upon his legacy till he had settled to his satisfaction that the testator could not by possibility have made a better disposition. And there is a further circumstance in the case of the Church which is immortal; and that ie, that if the whole succession of Bishops take advantage of the law to the utmost, the result must go far to right itself, for there must be the same total value to be divided from century to century, though the division may not be to all intents the same. This was followed by a debate of an odd complexion, on the question of an inquiry into Harwich, followed by a division of 82 to 80 in favour of the inquiry, the Go vernment and the Conservatives making the majority. The explanation is, that the inquiry was viewed by the other side as only intended to stave of; the case of Harwich having long been considered as rest inquiry. On the same evening there was a division with very few names in the minority, for appointing a Select Corn - mittee " to inquire into the want of accommodation for the repair of steam-vessels at Haulbowline;" being virtually t o p romote t h e i mprovement of :he I r i s h ports. Upon which may be reasoned as follows. Fifty years hence, America and affairs connected with it, will occupy as much of the attention of our posterity, as ever the balance of power on the European continent did of our forefathers, unless posterity s h ou ld be inclined to allow the shifting of the flag on Windsor Castle with out a struggle. Calculate then, when teat time comes, if it had pleased Heaven the Irish Channel should in the interval have filled up and the two islands have become one, how great would be the importance of the splendid " water privileges" on the most Western boundary. It needs no nick-nackery of ostentatious statesmanship to know, that the position of such a port and river as the Shannon, would be a s i m p os i ng as ever was that of Con stantinople and the Golden Horn. The filling-up of the Irish Channel has taken place, or is taking place daily, through the agency of steam. We shall see how long it will be before our statesmen and militarists discover, that the point which is to be the advanced post when the siege begins, is one it is better to look to before that event than after. But nobody moves in this world till well frightened; and we have not genius enough to be frightened yet. On Friday the Member for Greenwich presented him self to take his seat. On the book being offered to him, he requested to be sworn on the Old Testament. The Speaker asked his reason; to which ho replied " Because is is binding on my conscience." The Old Testament was produced, and put into his hand. Ile then pro ceeded to go through the Oaths of Fidelity, Supremacy, and Abjuration, but with this difference from the form observed on the occasion of Mr. Rothschild, that instead of the Clerk reading the Oaths to him sentence by sen tence, schedules of them were put into his hands, and he read them by himself. At the conclusion of each ho made the movement of covering his head, and repeated "So help me God." When ho had done, ho attempted to utter some words to the House; which was resisted loudly, whether by friends or enemies it was impossible to distinguish. Persevering in his intention, he was un derstood to say, that he had omitted one word. By whose advice he said this, and why he should not have left the burden of discovering and proving it on his op ponents, it is not easy to say. He then went and sat down on the bench below the gangway, on the Minis terial side. It may therefore safely be averred, that he has taken his seat. The Speaker then said he must direct him to withdraw. Which is what the Speaker can do to any Member when a personal question is raised in which his presence would be manifestly incon venient. Ho ought therefore to have been taken up to the library, with a number of other Members to keep him company. Instead of which, he made an attempt to remain behind the bar, which place he was finally com pelled to leave, I believe by the Sergeant. There was throughout a considerable absence of preparation and counsel; all leaders and no followers, which is not the way to win. It remains to be seen whether what is to come next will be improved by meditation on the past. The point to be stuck to, is that the Member for Green wich has taken his seat, and that it is for judge and jury to determine under authority of an Act of Parliament whe ther he is punishable or not for doing this and voting afterwards. On Saturday the House met to receive the report on Supply; which was attended with the partial re-appear ance of many of the questions previously agitated in Committee. It afterwards went into Committee on the Merchant Seamen's Bill; in which one of the most im portant points carried, was the preservation of the mer chant seaman's right to his wages when he volunteers into a Queen's ship. It is a thing be does not do with out cause; and tho right to do it and be paid for his work done, is one of the few protections the most unprotected class in the country, or as it would be more correct to say out of it, possesses. It is this very fact, that his trade and business lie not in the country but out of it, which points to the sources of his weakness. Plough.. men could never have been subjected to the usage that sailors have. There are one or two ports where the sailors will say I ought to understand the thing, and will ask which way I voted. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 21st July, 1851. REPRESENTATION of SCARBOROUGH. SATURDAY EvRNING.--Today the contest at Scar borough, between Lord Mulgrave and Mr. G. F.

The Royal party reached Osborne at half-past six o'clock. There was no addition to the Royal dinner party yes terday evening. The Queen and Prince Albert walked early this morn ing in the grounds at Osborne. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the younger branches of the Royal Family also took their usual emercise. SUNDAY. Owing to the.unfavourable state of the weather, the Royal party were unable to leave the house yesterday afternoon. Colonel the Hon. C. B.

Five hundred and forty-six foreigners visited Wool wich Dockyard during the present week, having brought cards of introduction from their respective legations : It may be interesting to know the number from each king dom or state on the continent who visited the dockyard, and the following., taken from their cards cf adraE , t4ion, will be found correct:—Frogs Franca 126, Belgium 87, Austria 28, Prussia 154, Netherlands 9, Spain 10, Ba varia 24, Saxony 44, Hanover 9, Baden 4, Hanseatic Towns 11, Sicily 1, United States 6, Denmark 11, Switzerland 20, Wurtemberg 2, Russia 9, Sardinia 8, Sweden 2, Mecklenburg 2. Most, if not all, of these visitors also visited the Royal Arsenal. The number of British subjects who have visited the dockyard, or with out any introduction, has been on the average nearly 700 a-day during the week. INSPECTION OF ROYAL MARINES.—The whole of the Woolwich Division of Royal Marines off duty assem bled at half -past nine o'clock A.M. to-day on the parade ground of their barracks in heavy marching order, under the command of Colonel Parke, C. 8., commandant of the division, with Lieut.-Colonels Gillespie, M'Adam, and Pratt. Lieut.-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8., K.C.11., Commandant of the Garrison, accompanied by Brigade-Major Bingham and Capt. Tvlden. Deputy-As sistant-Quartermaster -General of Artillery, arrived at ten minutes past ten o'clock, and immediately com menced inspecting th e companies, Colonel John Owen, C. 8., Deputy Adjutant-General of Royal Marines, who is generally present at annual inspection s , being absent from indisposition. The Li eutena nt -General minutely inspected the appearance of the men under arms, and also their kits, and then proceeded to the hospital, over which he was conducted by Deputy -Inspector Oliver, Evans, M.D., end was much gratified with the cleanli ness of the whole department and the evident attention paid to the sick and thoEe who required surgical assist ance. Sir Thomas Downman then visited the P rovost Prison and the rooms of the men in the barracks, a n d concluded with a visit to the gun-drill battery, where the men went through their exercises under MajorPhilips. It was intended that the companies of , the di vision should proceed to the common in the afternoon to exhibit their proficiency in the manual and platoon exercises, but, the weather being very unfavourable, and repeated heavy showe rs t a ki ng p l ace , th e Lieutenant- General dispensed with their attendance, and said he had so many opportunities of witnessing them that he felt perfectly satisfied of their efficiency in the field. EXECUTION of COUNT BOCARME. Count Hippolyte de BocarraCe whose trial for murder recently occupied so much of the public attention on the continent, the details of which appeared at the time in our columns, was publicly executed at Mons, in Belgium, on Saturday, the 19th instant. At six o'clock on the morning of the 1S th M. God ding, the Governor of the gaol of Mons, proceeded to the prisoner's cell to inform him that his appeal for a revocation of judgment had been rejected. This an nouncement seemed to cause considerable stupefaction to the Count, who exclaimed, "It is impossible," the blood at the same time mounting to his usual pallid counte nance. After a few moments' silence he inquired it there was no hope of a reprieve. The Governor told him there was none, and ordered the unhappy man to be put in a straight-waistcoat. The Governor then left him with the three guards, who have never quitted his cell since his condemnation. He demanded to see the Procureur du Roi, who in compliance visited him at eight o'clock. He read to him the reply of the Court of Cessation to his appeal, and informed him that the day and hour for his execution had been fixed. The Count received the awful communication with perfect self-possession. " I ask one favour," he said; " see that the axe is well sharpened. I have read of cases in which, owing to the blunt edge of the knife, two or three strokes were necessary—the idea makes me shudder." The Procureur du Roi promised to attend to his re quest. The prisoner was then visited by the Abbe Andi é, the prison chaplain, M. Descamps, and the Archbishop of Cincinnati, a distant connexion of the Count. Not withstanding the earnest solicitations of the latter ho refused to confess. He was left to his own reflections till one o'clock, when he called for dinner, but only par took of a light meal. At four in the evening ho sent for the priest, and made his confession according to the usages of the Catholic Church. Ile subsequently inquired of the prison doctor whether he should suffer after his head was severed from his body. Mathys (the doctor) having informed him that death would be instantaneous, he seemed satisfied. At a late hour, as if struck by a sudden thought, he jumped up and offered 100,000 francs to each of his guards if they would allow him to escape. At ten P.M. he was again visited by the Procureur du Roi and the gaoler. On their departure ho partook of some cherries, and remained in conversation all night with his con fessor, preserving the same calm ho had maintained at his trial. Meantime the scaffold was being erected. At mid night, as soon as the edits and other public establish ments were closed, two carts, preceded by men bearing torches entered the square; these carts contained the guillotine. A dozen workmen, under the direction of a white headed old man, soon completed the preparations. This old man was the exe cutioner. A few soldiers were placed on duty, and kept back a small crowd of curious specta tors. At oue o'clock the guillotine was erected, and the first rays of the morning sun soon fell upon the scaf fold. The machine was tried once or twice to see that the springs were easy, and some sensation was created as the executioner proceeded to feel the edge and grease the blade. At six o'clock an immense crowd filled the square, consisting chiefly of men in blouses, women and market-girls from the neighbouring villages. All the hotels and principal shops that commanded a view of the square closed their shutters. This example was followed by many shop-keepers in other parts of the town. A few officers were visible on the balcony of the Military Club. Gendarmes on horseback kept the space clear in the in:lin:Auto vicinity of the scaffold. The most perfect silence was maintained by the crowd, which looked on with awe and emotion. At 6 A.M. the executioner and his assistants proceeded to the prisoner's cell, to dress the prisoner, who allowed them quietly to do their work. A prison van, escorted by sixteen gendarmes on horseback, under the orders of a lieutenant, conveyel the prisoner to the stops leading to the scaffold. The Archbishop of Cincinnati, in his purple robes, and the Dean of St. Vvaudru, alighted from the van with him. Count Bocarme ascended the scaffold with a firm step, his head erect, without sup port. His countenance was pale. His hair had been cut short, but his beard was uncut. His shirt was open at the chest. He was dressed in a suit of black, white stockings, and new glazed shoes. His hands were tied behind his back. Having embraced the two ecclesiastics and kissed the crucifix, he seated himself on the fatal plank, to which he was immediately strapped by the executioner's assistants. During this operation, NI hich lasted nearly five minutes, he turned his head towards the crowd. The only observation he made was, that there was no hurry, and a request not to strap him so tight. Whilst looking with apparent curiosity at the axe, the plank revolved, and, of his own accord, he placed his head on the cushion. The executioner made a signal, a dull heavy blow was heard, and justice was satisfied. Five minutes afterwards a hearse carried off the mortal remains of Count Ilippolyto Visart do Bocarmil. THE SUSPECTED MURDER AT NORWICH.—The excitement caused by the recent discoveries of human re mains in this city and neighbourhood, and which had in some degree become lulled, has been renewed by a dis covery which was made on Saturday last. On the after noon of that day, as a man named Henry Layton, was em ployed in mowing the grass in the churchyard of St. Peter, of Southgate, he found a h uman foot, the left one, which had been concealed i n th e l ong grass. It had evidently, from the appearance of the grass around and other cir cumstances, lain there for some time. It had been cut off at the ankle joint, and the toes were contracted in the same manner as those of the foot previously discovered at Lakenham. The feet in size and general appearance cor respond exactly, and they are evidently those of the female whose fate appears to, be involved in such mystery. On Monday and Tuesday last the police made inquiries at the office of the five district registrars for this city, for the purpose of ascertaining if any and what females of ages aproximating to the supposed age of the f ema l e to whom these remains belonged, had died between the Ist of May and the 14th of June. They found the entries of the deaths of several young women, but upon inquiring of their friends they learned that they had all been properly interred.—Nor tacit Mercury. Captain Somerset is not singular with respect either to his offence or its penalty. At the last Brussels Races the young Marquis d'Ast, a B e l g i an li on o f t h e very first rank, chose to ride swiftly along an interdicted path. He was stopped by a soldier, on e o f th e armed f orce entrusted with the police superintendence of the lo ca lity, w h o c i v i ly re quested him to withdraw. The hot-headed Marquis an swered the summons lay striking the man with his whip and riding on. He was arrested and sentenced, like our English captain, to a week's imprisonment. The affair, however, did not terminate there. The soldier was brought before a mili tary tribunal, and was sentenced to seven days' arrest for not cutting down the individual who had dared to force his post. As for the Marquis, as soon as he was liberated, he was challenged to fight by every officer in the regiment of which the soldier in question was a member, end the striking of whom was looked upon as an insult to all. This was . a se rious matter; but the Ma rqu i s s kilf u ll y ex t r i ca t e d himself by writing a graceful apology, and so the affair ended—the Belgian lion having had his mane thoroughly combed into sleekness.— Weekly Paper. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP CITY OF MARCHES* TER.—This fine specimen of marine architecture arrived yesterday (Friday) afternoon in the Mersey, and will sail on Friday next, the 25th instant, for Philadelphia. Her engines are of 200-horse power each, she has accommoda tion for nearly 200 first and second cabin passengers, the berths are roomy and comfortable, each being provided with a sofa and other desirable conveniences. Altogether, the City of Manchester is one of the largest, as well as one of the handsomest steamers on the ocean. She was built at Glasgow; has made a trial trip to Belfast, and will sail in the Channel to-day for a few hours prior to her being placed in deck. Messrs. Richardson Brothers are the ag ents in Liverpool. ATTEMPTED Smcmt.--A melancholy attempt at suicide, and which it is feared will proved fatal, was made on Saturday by a young female named Gotcb, in the presence of her father, a respectable boot and shoemake r, kee p in g a shop in King-street, Lower-road, Islington. T he unh appy girl was in conversat i on with her afflicted parent and other members of her family, when suddenly, witho ut a n y apparent cause, she seized a knife used for cutting leather, and in flicted a frightful wound on her throat. She was immedi atelyr attached attention to was that afforded excel lent convey e d i n a c ab to St. Bartholomew's Hospit a l , where every kindness and reti o nis e it e her by the house surgeon and ths institution. The poor creature has for some time past exhibited considerable absence of manner, betraying symp toms of a disordered intellect, but nothing dangerous was ex pected at her hands. At his recent rent audit, Geo rge Hudson, Esq., M.P., of Newby Park, liberally returned t o hi s numerous te nantry 10 per cent. on their respective rentals. The Hon. Member has expended a considerable sum in draining and improving his estates, and has recently built substantial and "ft-ventilated ottage4 for his farm labourers. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Saturday, owing to the inclemency of the weather, the unusually small sum of 1,3601. 15s. was taken at the doors of the building, the whole number of visitors being 9,326. The aspect which the interior now pre sents on the last day of the week is a sufficiently strik ing contrast to the crowds of shilling visitors who flock there between Monday and Thursday. All is compara tive quietness and repose, and the greatest bustle caused is by the movement in different directions of invalid chairs, the feeble occupants of which seem to enjoy the magnificent spectacle presented to them almost like a promise of returning health and strength. Mr. Belshaw's elephant has at last arrived from Essex, and been comfortably located in the Indian compartment. He had not been au hour in the building when steps were taken to give him a truly oriental equipment, and before the doors were closed on Saturday evening he was completely covered with costly trappings. Mr. Belshaw will without delay have the Newab Nazim of Bengal's magnificently carved ivory Howdah placed upon his back, and will call in the aid of some expe rienced Indian in getting him properly caparisoned. From what we hear, our plate-glass manufacturers are likely to be entirely distanced by those from Circy and St. Gobain, in France—a defeat altogether unex pected, but about tho justice of which there seems to be no doubt. The French also show some oxide of zinc glass, the transparent, colourless beauty of which is very remarkable, and which merits the more praise from its novelty. The attention of chemists and others interested in the subject has been much arrested by a new preparation, called amorphous phosphorus, and by which all the difficulty encountered in the transport and use of phosphorus for manufacturing purposes, as in the making of lucifer matches, is removed. This prepa ration is the discovery of a M. Schrotter, who obtains it by heating phosphorus, in the absence of air, to the temperature of an oil bath. It then becomes of a scarlet colour, and can be carried about or packed into barrels, or even taken into the system, without any injurious effects. Mixed with any oxidizing substance it recovers its burning properties. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. THE JULY FETE AT CHISWICK. This, the third and last fete of the Horticultural Society, took place on Saturday, and the visitors were, as usual on such occasions, favoured with about as moist an afternoon as one often meets with in the month of July. Notwithstanding the threatening appearance of the weather, the company poured into the gardens in larger numbers than usual, up to half-past three o'clock, and had not the clouds at length discharged their unwelcome contents, there is little doubt that this would have been one of the most crowded meetings ever held in these gardens. The attendance, as it was, was numerous and highly fashionable; the dresses of th'e ladies were most elegant, but of far too light a texture to enable them with any comfort to enjoy the promenade in the Duke of Devonshire's grounds, which, as usual on the fete day, were thrown open by his Grace for the benefit of the visitors, the atmosphere during the whop afternoon, even prior to the commencement of the rain, being so cold as to induce most of the fair sex to avail themselves of the shelter of the tents in which the plants, &e., were exhibited. There were, as usual, three regimental bands present, viz., the Ist Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards (blue), and the band of one of the household regiments, and the selections of music, which were in great taste, were admirably per formed. The exhibition of plants, flowers, and fruits was fully equal to anything of the kind that has ever come under our notice. The must beautiful among the plants, we think, were the exotic orchids and the heath. Among the fruits, the pines and strawberries attracted the greatest notice, and most deservedly, for among the pines were two grown by Mr. Jones, of Enville, weigh ing respectively 81b. 9oz. and 101 b., and one by Mr. Briddon, weighing 91b. We were unable to obtain a list of the aristocratic visitors, but we recognised many of the nobility and families of the highest distinction. We also observed an'unusually large muster of foreigners, who appeared to take great interest in the exhibition, and were evidently much delighted with the rare and curious plants, of which there was a very large display. Taking the Jae as a whole, wo think, leaving the draw back of the weather out of the question, the result of the day's proceedings must have been highly satisfactory to the society. The t e nts a n d marquees were, as usual, supplied from the manufactory of Mr. B. Edgington, of the Borough, and proved most efficacious in protecting the company from the heavy showers, &c. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE: Commander Cumberland Reid Hadaway (1846) died at Southall, Middlesex, on the 14th instant. He entered the navy in 1810, passed his examination in 1816, and was promoted in 1828. His last service was as first lieutenant of the Albion, 90, from whi c h s hi p h o was promoted in 1846. W o believe ho was one of the ma jority of the officers of the ward-room of the Albion, who, when it was put to the vote whether the private letter of a seaman supposed to contain information of the behaviour of the ship should be opened, voted against an expressed opi n i on th at a " common seaman had no business to write to a gentleman," and thus helped to pre serve the seaman's letter from being violated. Assistant-Surgeon —Dr. William Smith (1843), of the guard-ship at Pembroke, has been appointed to the Ajax, 60, screw two-decker, flag-ship, at Queenstown. liermes, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Fishbourne, has been ordered from th e C ape o f G oo d H ope to the 'East Indian and China stations. Odin steam-frigate, Lieutenant Sandford command ing, that arrived at Spithead on Thursday last, did not come into Portsmouth harbour till Saturday evening, and the men of the Dauntless still remain on board hor. We suppose they have been kept there in case any further accident should occur to the Sidon ; however, by this time, the latter ship and the Retribution must have progressed considerably on their passage, and therefore the crew of the Dauntless will probably rejoin their own ship to-day or Tuesday. Tiger steam-frigate returned, with Captain Hen derson on board to Spithead on Saturday at noon, and in the evening went into harbour and took in the moor ings off the King's Stairs. She brought up 20 second claqi boys from the St. George at Devonport. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—We have had a summer gale for the last two days; it commenced on Friday, blew a hard gale from the S.W., with much rain all Saturday; the rain cleared off this morning, and the wind shifted to W. It still blows hard. The Owen Glendower Indianian lies windbound at Spithead. THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON.—The squadron under Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., consisting of the Queen (flag), 116; Albion, 90; Superb, 80; Ganges, 84; Indefatigable, 50, frigate, and steam-frigate Fire brand, made its appearance off Malta on the morning of the 9th, from Tunis. The steam-sloop Spiteful, Commander G. Parker, entered the harbour at midnight of the Bth, for the purpose of conveying to the flag ship Sir William's family; she left again at e i g ht th e following morning, and was expected to return in the evening to wait the arrival of the London mail of the 7th inst. APPOINTMENT. Woo',wren . , JULY 1 9 . — Assistant-Surgeon William Smith, M.D. (1843), from the Saturn flag-ship at Pem broke, to the Ajax, 58, screw steam-ship at Cork. The Sinbad lighter conveyed the new crank shaft for the Megmra steam-frigate from Woolwich to Sheerness en Friday last. This crank is the largest ever made at Woolwich, the metal required to make it being origi nally four tons weight, although, as a matter of course, it was considerably reduced in perfecting it for the pur pose to which it will be applied. The Gorgon, 6, paddlewheel steam-sloop of 320- horse power, Commander James A. Paynter, commis sioned on the 29th of Mardi, 1848, is ordered home from the Pacific station, 2nd is on her way to be paid off at this port. The Reynard, 8, screw steam-sloop, Commander Peter Cracroft, in commission since July 4, 1848, i s or d ered home from the East India station, to be paid off at Woolwich. The services of the Reynard have been mostly in the Chinese seas, where she has been actively employed in dispersing and destroying the pirates with which these seas were infested. EXTRAORDE V ARY and FATAL OUTRAGE. An eutrhge of an extraordinary and daring character was committed near Manchester at an early hour on Saturday morning, which, to some extent, met with im mediate punishment from the fatal results which ensued to its lawless perpetrators. On the southerly side of Manchester, and scarcely a mile from the borough, is a brick-field in the occupation of Mr. James Farr. It stands in the rural little village of Birch, in the township of Rusholme. Crossing, a few fields from the fashion able precincts of Victoria -park, a f i eld-path on the right bank of a rather wide brook and which skirts the church and grave-yard, you cross the stream by a foot-bridge at the west front of the church, and are within a hundred yards of the premises of Mr. Farr. Mr. Farr has: had the misfortune for these two years past to contend with the uncompromising hos tility of a brickmakers' trades' union, and at frequent intervals he h as b een li a bl e to i nvas i ons o f his premises by armed bands of men in the night-time, who have dis charged fire-arms to intimidate his watchers, have de stroyed his property by trampling down his new -made bricks, and otherwise annoy e d hi m . L as t y ear h e sus tained losses from incursions of this kind to the extent of 2501., and the county police when co-operating to afford him protection were surprised and beaten. He has been compelled to keep constant watches upon his premises night and day ; and whilst his watchmen were on duty, no longer ago than Sunday morning last, three unionists suddenly rushed upon them armed with a rude kind of life-pre• server, and assaulted them with great violence. It Wag in consequence of this last attack that Mr. Farr deter mined to arm his watchmen, and on Friday night they were each of them provided with an old blunderbuss or fowling-piece, loaded with bullets and small round shot. They had in reserve at Mr. Farr's own cottage, at the south-east corner of the croft, a small cannon, about a foot long and of three-quarters of an inch bore. This formidable piece of artillery was charged with three or four musket-bells and about as many marbles. Soon after midnight the watchmen were apprized by the bark ing of their dogs, by distant signal whistles, the low murmur of voices, and trampling of many feet, on the north sid e o f the brook, that an attack was meditated. They were not kept long in suspense, for by a quarter past twelve o'clock about one hundred men had crossed the bridge and were upon the flats or " butts" on which are spread out to dry the newly-made and soft bricks, trampling them down and destroying them. There were four W atchmen in 11 and the moon be ing overcast, they could, probably, only be very in distinctlseen as they awaited the attack under the kilns; hut, however, they wer© fired at by the attacking* party, and some random shots whistled about them and struck the kilns, m ere l y chipping off pieces of the bricks and leaving traces of their presence. Two of the watchers discharged their pieces at the as sailants, another found that his priming was faulty and had missed fire, and the fourth, perceiving that the as sailants were rapidly approaching, and bearing them loudly deride the efforts of his companions, saying that their guns had been discharged, and there was nothing more to be feared, ra n t o ge t ou t th e ca nnon. Th e cannon was placed on one of the walls of dried bricks, so as to sweep transversely the flats of bricks which the unionists were destroying. The unionists were now busy throw ing down the walls of dried but unburnt bricks, as well as trampling upon the soft ones. The voice of one of their leaders was heard encouraging them, and saying, " Go it, my lads, they've only a gun left; go it, and smash everything before you." Immediately afterward the can non was discharged, and seems to have spread consterna tion and panic into their ranks. What injury resulted from it is not known, but it was followed by cries of pain and groans, amidst which an instantaneous and rapid retreat was made. The county police at the neighbouring sta tions of Chorlton, Didsbury, Longeight, and Levens hulme were alarmed by the report of the fire-arms, and judging correctly enough what bad happened, concen trated upon the spot, but not in time to apprehend any of the ruffians in their retreat. When daylight broke, or soon after three o'clock, it was found, however, that the contest had not been bloodless. Tho lifeless body of a unionist was found lying in a pool of blood under a wall of unburnt bricks which ho apparently had been destroy ing, a charge of shot either from a gun or pistol having entered his head a little below the left ear. He appeared to have come to the attack well prepared, for a cavalry pistol was found under him, h eav il y l oa d e d with bullet and swan shot; and in his pockets were found five other bullets, a quantity of cans and powder, and a tobacco box full of swan-shot. The unhappy man does not ap pear to have been the only sufferer among the unionists, for upon the soft bricks destroyed, and which amount to about 6,000, there were found numerous traces of blood; and a private watchman having care of some new and unfinished houses belonging to Mr. Dove, in the direction the unionists retreated, states that a party of them brought a man on their shoulders, who was apparently suffering great agony from a wound, and wanted to leave him in one of these houses; he, how. ever, induced them to take the man away by threaten ing to call the police in the Victoria-park. As may readily be imagined, the intelligence of what had taken pl ace as day advanced caused. considerable excitement, and the body of the deceased unionist having been carried to the Birch -villa Hotel, great numbers of people went to view it. No one, however, was able to identity it until Saturday evening, when it was recog nised as the body of a man named John Redfern, a brick moulder, of Ashtoa-road, Manchester. An inquest was held the same evening on the body by Mr. W. S. Rutter, county coroner, at which most of the facts given above were stated in evidence. Captain Sheppard and Captain Durk, of the county constabu lary, were present, and Captain Sheppard stated that these outrages last year were carried to such an extent against Mr. Farr that Government were induced to offer a reward for the offenders. The surgeon who bad made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased said that he found a charge of slugs at the back of the neck, on the.right side. It had entered under the left ear, naming with it a piece of thin wadding paper, and had traversad the base cf the brain, and another large piece of the wadding-paper had entered as far as the cavity of the brain. He was of opinion that the gun or pistol producing this wound must have been fired at a distance not exceeding five or six yards, and that it had produced instantaneous death. From other evi dence it appeared that the watchers never fired slugs, nor discharged their guns within 50 yards of the spot, and the jury, under these circumstences, were of opi nion that the wound must have resulted from some accident by one of deceased's companions, and who, from the direction in which the bah had come, was fol lowing him in the attack, Ultimately they returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against some person un known. HEROIC CONDUCT OF A MINER.—On Saturday week, as a miner name William Lester was engaged " put ing in a shot ", in a pit at the Willingsworth colliery, a quantity of coal f e ll u p on hi m f rom t h e roof, which knocked him off the ladder, and he fell to the ground insensible. The match was burning but a few feet above him, and an explosion instantly expected. Two men who had been working close to the spot declined to render any assistance. At this critical juncture the " doggy," William Turner, who had been engaged in another part of the workings, hearing of the accident, ran to the spot. A single glance was sufficient to show the danger, and without further hesitation, he rushed into the gate road, and brought the poor fellow out. He had not gone more than four yards when the shot went off, told upwards of thirty tons of coals fell upon the very ground where the injured man lay but a few seconds before. We are happy to state that Lester's injuries were but trifling. Turner, who acted so nobly on this occasion, is the man who stands committed to the next assizes on a charge of manslaughter, a boy having been killed in the same pit in March last, through some alleged neglect.—Birmingham Mercury. GALLANT CONDUCT.—On Wednesday evening last a girl, aged about 17 years, with a baby two years old in her arms, was standing at the entrance of the lock at Cum berland basin watching the departure of the Juverna steam packet to Cork. Suddenly, it is supposed in consequence of a fit, she fell with the child from the edge of the lock into the water, a depth of about thirty feet. The screams of the baby attracted the notice of the fireman of the Juverna, named John Bateman, who, without a moment's hesitation, jumped from the vessel into the water, and grasping the child by its clothes saved it from being drowned. James Arnold, a seaman on board the same packet, jumped over board and rescued the young woman from what else would have been inevitable death. A rope was thrown to each of the brave men, who sustained themselves thereby until a boat came to their assistance. We understand that the above is the sixth person that Bateman has saved.—Bristol Mer cury. POOR AND COUNTY RATES IN IRELAND.--P!!! Saturday a Parliamentary paper was issued, from" which it appears that the gross am oun t o f poor-rate collected in Ire. land last year was 1 ,359,6961., and the county-rate waa 928,3761. 17s. 3P.

ME a ROFOLITAN BUILDINGS.—The Bill brought into the I - louse of Commons by Lord Seymour and Mr. Cornewall Lewis, "to regulate the construction and the use of buildings in the metropolis and its neighbourhood," has been printed. It contains 148 clauses, and extends over 84 pages. The immediate object of the Bill, as stated in the preamble, is effectually to secure the proper construction of buildings in reference to their stability, and to their security against fire originating either therein, or in buildings or premises adjoining thereto, or in the vicinity thereof, in re ference to public safety, and also to provide other and more effectual means for administering the law relating to metro politan buildings, &c. At Posen a Polish schoolboy, 17 years of age, who lately shot another boy of 13 in a duel, has been condemned to eighteen months' imprisonment. Three be other boys, tween 13 and 15, who had acted as seconds and umpire, were acquitted. The first execution of capital punishment in Prussia has just taken place in conformity with the prescriptions of the new penal code, which excludes publicity. The sen tence was carried out in the prison court, in presence of per sons deputed to witness the act. _ Lges loth sod atet idy, DBi► lOD, lire, ro'; esl; e ra, 01; ffect yet . 0 kets cur' plifill iced )4 0 . , 3 g 7 itte t, the For ,s of 21 011 Off' W 661 90 • 0 3 0 00 9 0 8 00 3 0 3s o 00 ! qr. oia 61 i" 40" 27 1 " vie t he dair cy 0 15 0 so% AY ° OD' b 0 10111..
