SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING.—As a substantial proof of the energies of Mr. Richard Johnson, the Clerk of the Course, we have only to point to there being thirty-two nominations for the Cleveland, and one hundred and one fur the Great Yorkshire Handicap—results of toil, as agreeable as they are uni rccdented. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. On Saturday evening Madlle. Alboni fresh from her recent triumphs in P a ris a n d Madrid, made her rentrie at this theatre after an absence of two years. Long before the opening of the doors a crowd was assembled outside, and no sooner were they opened than the crush was terrific, and an uninterrupted stream of people continued pouring in without inter mission, until the pit and gallery were crammed to suffocation in every part. Before the commencement of the performance every stall and box was occupied. The opera chosen for her &bid was the Cenerentola, which she seems to have made exclu sively her own ; and no sooner did the curtain rise, discovering her seated by the kitchen fire, than an elithusiastic shout of welcome arose from every part of the house, and was renewed again and again. She has returned to us not only in full possession of her wonderful powers of voice, but with those in creased and improved by continued study, so true is it that true genius is constantly in a state of progress. When Alboni left us she possessed two voices, if we may be allowed the ex pression, one a contralto, unequalled for its rich mellowness, the other a most sweet arid exquisite soprano ; each in itself was perfect, but there was not a perfect union between the two—that union has now been effected, and Alboni now possesses one of the most marvellous voices ever heal d, of immense com pass, of surpassing sweetness, of unequalled flexi bi!ity, and perfect throughout its whole compass, from the lowest note to the highest. She was encored in the " Sprezzo qui don" and in the " Non piu mesta." Never have we heard the " Non piu meats" so brilliantly rendered as it was by Alboni on Saturday evening, and never have we heard more en. thusiastic applause than it excited. She was not only encored, but was called on three times afterwards. The piece was strongly cast. Calzolari sang the beautiful music of Don Ramiro with exquisite taste. Lablache, as Don Magnifico, was glorious; and Ferranti made a satisfactory Dandini. The beautiful divertis sement Les Graces followed, in which Carolina Ro sati, Marie Taglioni, and Amalia Ferraris were ad mirable as the three Graces. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Msj.ir the lion. James Macdonald, honoured the performances wish his presence. Amongst the noble and distinguished individuals also present in the theatre on this occasion we observed the following:— His Highness the Prince Demidoff, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Marquis of Worcester, the Earl of Car digan, the Countess of Glengall and Lady Margaret Butler, the 'Countess of Chesterfield, Earl Bruce, the Earl of Malmesbury, Earl Gifford, the Earl of Lonsdale, Earl of Mounicharles, the Prince de Troubetskui, Viscount and Viscountess Dupplin, Viscount Cranbourne, Viscount Enfield, Viscountess Newport, Viscount GP den, Viscount Canterbury, the Rerun and Baroness Von St eta, the Count de Barke, Lord George Paget, Lady.

The morning entert.ii ument f the Hungari an fund of the English committee attracted a numerous fashionable a t ten d ance on S a t ur d ay l ast, the concert. room room being crowded to overfhwing. Mrs. Fanny Kern ble read a sc-ee from Comus and Wordaworth's Ruth Madlle. Graumann sang some German airs with miler, applause, and Professor Jans4 executed a capricio on the violin with excslleut taste and execution. Two flute solos on airs, from the Figlia del egyimento and the Sonnam bula, were admiraul) given by a gentleman whose came was not furnished in the programme. Madlle. Anna Zerr, who was to have sung, was not furibcoming, ftp,logy for her ab,eoce on the score of sudden indispo don betr , g offered towards the close of the performance. This is the second disappointment at a matinee musicale which we have had to rt cord on the part of this gifted vocalist within the last week. Herr Formes, however, kindly offered to supply the deficiency by an additional song, and our uttermost gallantry cannot impel us to express a regret that a second opportunity was afforded of enjoying the magnificent organ and pure execution of the great basso in lieu of the brilliant extravagance of vocalizstion which constitutes Madlle. Ztrr a meteor in the firmament of song. A Hungarian duet on the har monica and piano, performed by Mesdames Pulszkey and &tette, constituted toe finale. Among the fashion able thr,ng, some of whom were compelled to put up with standing room, we were happy to observe that ap proved friend of liberalism, Lady Morgan, looking in excellent health and spirits. Our ladvertisirig columns announce a benefit at the Surrey Zoological Gardens this evening for Herr Koenig, the unrivalled performer on the cornet-a piston; it is the first he ha.; taken, and we feel perfectly assured he will re ceive (what be ju•nly merits) a large share of public pa troeage. Moni. Jullien, M. Lavigne, Mr. Lazarus, and several other eminent instrumentalists, lend their aid. Mr. Strutt is a candidate to succeed the Earl of Arundel and Surrey in the representation of the borough o Arundel. The Sussex Express has the following, with re ference to the unexpected retirement of the Noble Earl:— " Lord Arundel adopted the course taken by the Irish Mem bers on Sir F. Thesiger's amendment; absenting himself, with the intention of placing Government in a minority. As the Duke of Norfolk bolds the official position of Master of the Horse, and his influence is justly considered to pre ponderate in Arundel, it will readily be perceived that the course taken by the Noble Lord as Member for the borough, must have been regarded by Ministers as a decided mark 91 opposition en the part of his Grace, especially when it is remembered that Lord Edward Howard, who holds the o !lice of Vice-Chamberlain, has also been absent from the divisions."

SUN, LONDON, TO THE SECRE I'A It Y OF TH E BRADFORD BEFuRM ASSOCIATION. (EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 9:.h, nn into Com mittee on the Colonial Property Qualification Bill, Mr. Tufnell moved •' That it be an ins ruction to the COM.. mittee to provide for the abJlition of any property qua lification for the Eli ction of Members to serve in Parliament " The motion brought out a good deal of discussion on the uses and non-uses of a property quali fication. It was pret.y clearly established, that the in vention of a qualification in landed property originated with the Jacobite Squire Westerns after the Revolution of 1688, and that Scotland was omitted because Scot land Was thought to be Jacobite enough without. Then, as now, the strength of conservatism was among the landed interest, and of liberal principles among the cum mercial. And the object was to exclude the commercial interest as far as possible from Parliament, and bring back the Stuarts. No very favourable parentage fur the property qualification, you will allow. Sisice that time the efficiency of the excluaion has been much worn down. particularly by chat is known by the title of Mr. Warburt n's Act. But Liberal Members who are richer in popularity than in Three pi-r Cents. are made to do something like taking the fig from under the mule's tail; though in point of pecuniary ex pense the process costs only five-and-twenty pounds. Fur five acd-twenty pounds any man of decent habits can be set up with a landed property, and a title suffi ciently valid to enable him to pass the wicket by swear ing he has the land. Not a soul ever was, or perhaps ever will be, kept out of Parliament by it; but still there is a kind of stigma in being obliged to resort to artifice, and that is worth something to the proji ctors. Die proposal before the Committee was to quel.fy for property in the Colonies; a thing to which in itself no reasonable objection could be made. But the motion of Mr. Tufnell threw such light on the inefficirncy and u.elessness of qualification altogether, that all parties threw up their briefs, and first the motion and then the Bill was withdrawn. During the discussion, allusion was made to the super fluous article and born out of due time, with which the latter-day supporters of the Charter have burthened their cause in the shape of a demand for Payment of Members; the invention palpably of men who look no further than that they would like to be sent to Parlia ment and paid. The objections to which are, first that if anybody likes to pay them, it can be done now; and next, that the general result, supposing even the law to be that Tories should pay a Radical Member when he had a majority of votes and Rsdicals a Tory, would be that Members who are now only asked to subscribe to the Infirmary and in rare instances to a horse-race, would systematically make a point of honour of return ing their pay and most probably something more, in the shape of donations to their constituenc , es. So that on the whole the system of donations would be doubled and trebled, and the relative weakness of those who de pended on their pay would be greater than ever. In the present question the allusion served only to throw a vague discredit on the plans and wishes of the Re formers; but as far as it went, its operation was un favourable. On Thursday the Inhabited House Duty Bill was read a third time and passed. This brought up the Member for Buckinghamshire (Mr. Disraeli), whose speech, how ever cautiously worded and judiciously chastened, de monstrated that the fears of the party he represents, are lest the Government by lightening the indirect 'axes which fall unfairly on the men of small incomes, should pave the way to a necessity next session for lay ing more of direct taxes, which mean taxes that shall tall fairly on the rich. The hobgoblin of direct taxa tion was clearly what they bad In sight. The men of small incomes are not yet equal to the subject; and their counsellors still less. But it is not the first time the march of intellect has set things to rights. On Friday in the debate on Supply, a vote on the sub. ject of Public Education brought out from the Minister a declaration of considerable importance as to his future intentions with respect to the promotion of that object. The friends of non-priestly education could not let well alone, nor refrain from comments which forced the Minister do something swallowing up his words. But every body knows that in a question of this nature, 'leads are not dependent upon words, but on the contrary form an under• current of their own, which would lead to great error in calculating the ship's place, ►f the upper surface of words alone were taken into view. The same contest that is going on iu Piedmont and other continental countries, is going on here, with modifica tions corresponding to the difference of latitude. The question is, whether the knowledge of the country shall be framed on its religion as it may happen to be estab - fished, or its religion be framed upon its knowledge. Our forefathers took the latter course; they gained know ledge and thence the Reformation. In these days of re urn to mediaeval imbecility, the battle is sore for causing the process to be reversed. The debate on Friday was for a long time conducted with singular moderation; but the arrival of some of of the diners-out introduced the "post-prandial" zeal for religion which Milton appears to have suspected in the peerage and priesthood of Philistia. For all this, the world moves on, and neither here nor i❑ Piedmont will religion be much longer used as the nail to be thrown into the movements of the State's educational machine. On Saturday the HOMO met at twelve, and atter some hours' debate passed the Civil Bills (Ireland), and other Bills. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 14th July, 1851. MR. COBDEIV, MP, versus THE CORPO- RATION OF LONDON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The "Ecclesiestical Toles" Bill being still under consideration of the Imperial Parliament, I am induced to recall the following portion of the Hon. Member for the West Riding's speech at Manchester (previous to the commencement of the present session), which I should have done some months earlier, but for the hope that so odious a comparison would have attracted the attention of men better qualified than myself for the task:— " W hen has there been such a spectacle, even so ab surd a spectacle exhibited, as that which was shown when the London Corporation took that great ginger bread coach, the pattern of 200 years ago, and clothed themselves in that Batholowew Fair dress of theirs, and took a man with a fur cup, whose pattern dates back rive centuries, with a long sword in his band, and all the other set of paraphernalia of the city of London, and went down by the railroad to Windsor to present an address to the Queen, in order to put down Popish mummeries.— (Immense cheers, followed by roars of laughter.)" The lion. Gentleman then informed his captivated audience ,hat he had seen " the most gorgeous religious ceremonies Hof the Church of Rome, but that he hod not seen any thing half so absurd or gorgeous as the mummeries in which the Corporation of London indulge every year." Now, I would ask any man in his senses what con sistent analogy can there be between the time-honoured pageantry attendant upon an inauguration, state, or ofs - visit of the chief magistrate of London and the pompous display of religious insignia connected with the Roman Catholic religion in these realms—the one being an exercise of its, universally admitted, civil rights and customs, the other a violation of its, as uni verbally admitted, constitutional rights? Is it a question of external decoration, or of internal ibfluence? The former in either case may be summarily disposed of, "it makes good for trade," as does the barbarous splendour (of which the Hon. Member has mien a primitive horror) surrounding our priceless gems, Victoria and Albert. With regard to the internal in• licence, then, of a " Lord Mayor's Show," of what pa tient industry, what years, of toil. and anxiety, what in estimable social virtues, what participation in the main enance of the commercial greatness of this kiegdom, does it not speak? and should its glittering equipages and gorgeous liveries, or even those types of the olden time, the "cap and sword," make converts to their shrine, is there aught "offensive to common sense and inti iligence in stimulating the rising generation to "go and do likewise." I would remind the Hon. Member that external decorations have been admitted by all writers, who possessed any knowledge of human nature, to be necessary badges of distinction, whether in the court, the camp, the council, courts judicial, or civic in. stitutions. Does the Corporation of the city of Loudon attic by its internal influences to enthral alike the thoughts and actions of mankind ? Has the existence of its institution been an impediment to, or a promoter of, " the safely, honour, welfare of our Sovereign, and her do minions," minions, and, lastly, are either its i nstitutions, or its functionaries capable of being made political agents for any or every Roman Catholic State in Europe; or can it, or its votaries, be compared to the potent spells and seductive charms of the Roman Catholic Church for again disseminating the seeds of religious discord amongst us ? It occurs to me that bad the Honourable Gentleman taken a more comprehensive view of the motives which induced the corporation of the city of London to present an address to her Majesty against the Papal aggression, there would have been no need to remind him that popu larity, like printed paper, may be put to " base uses," and as being more lenient to his principles than to his judgment. - I would conclude, by remarking to him that " there are more things between heaven and earth than are dreamed of in his philosophy." Hoping that he and his colleagues will Ft fleet ere they vomit forth again such crude ideas upon points so important as these, I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, ONE OF THE YOUNG BULLS.

The steam ship Hermann arrived at New York on the 2d it:ht. sbostly after the Europa. Much interest had been excited in New York by a rtquisition from Mr. Bulwer, the British Minister to the United Government, for the extradition of a deserter from the British army in New Brunswick. The accused was charged with stealing sundry arms and equipments in order to make his offence indict able under the conditions of the treaty. He is a man of some intelligence, and conducted his own cause at the primary examination with a good deal of shrewdness. The decision of the Court has not been rendered. By the Merlin mail steamer, arrived at New York from St. Thomas and Bermuda, we have advices from the former to the 21st, and the latter to the 26th ult.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JULY 2. Money Market —There has been a good demand since the last steamer for stocks, and Federal stocks have im proved. At the close, however, they were duller and heavy. Business generally had been rather more active of late than is usual at this season of the year, and there is every prospect of a good fall trade. The country merchants have arrived in greater numbers than usual, and have already made their appearance in our dry goods and grocery stores. The exports during the month of June were to a fair extent, although the decline in cotton restricted shippers of that staple. We have reports of bet a moderate business in all the places for On steamer of to-day, at about previous rates. We quote bills on London 104 c. to 10/le. premium; Paris, 505 to 5081; Antwerp, 5084; Amsterdam, 414 to 42; Hamburg!), 36k; and Bremen, 79i to 794. Cotton—After the departure of the Pacific on the 21st ult. some of the better grades advanced ic. per lb., these being comparatively scarce and wanted for home use, but for the three past days business has been dull, as is usual, however, at this period of the season, and the above improvement has been nearly lost, so that our quo tations for the lower grades stand as they did 10 days ago, but little having been done in them, and for grades only middling only a trifle higher than they did then. The total receipts to latest dates at all the shipping ports are 2,263,466 bales, against 1,981,396 to same dates last )ear, an increase this season of 282,070 bales. The total foreign exports this year is 490,136 bales more than last—say 378,613 bales increase to Great Britain; 32,297 increase to France; 52,114 increase to north of Europe, and 27,112 increase to other foreign ports. The ship ments from southern to northern ports are 121,388 bales less this season than last, and there is a decrease in stock of 59,914 bales. The sales for the week ending Friday were 10,100 bales, and since our last 2,500 bales. 69 bales Savanilla brought 6ic. We quote Atlantic ports, interior, nominal; Gulf ports, nominal; low to good or dinary, 7 to 8; Florida, ditto; other Gulf ports, ditto; low to good midi:dine', 81 to 94; Florida, 81 to 9 i; other Gulf ports, 84 to 101; middling fair to fair, 9i to 101; Florida, 94 to lot; Gull ports, tot to 12; fully fair to good fair 10f.

Total imports from Ist to 30th ult., 34,045 hales. Exports from the Ist to the 30th of June, 1851—Cotton (bales), 25,081; 1850, 43,029. Exports from the United States since te Ist of Sept., 1850—Bales, 1,801,702; same time 1849, 1,311,666. Dry goods—Although we have no sales to report, we have the prospect of an early trade, as several of the most prominent jobbers from the Western cities are here ready to examine the market after the 41h, preparatory to making their purchases. Iron—The market for the various descriptions conti nues quiet. 300 to 400 tons Scotch pig sold at 19 dolls., and 60 tons of the Glengart Brand at 19 dolls. 25c. six months. We hear of no further sales of English bars. A small lot of Swedish steel iron brought 88 dolls., 5 per cent. discount for cash. Tobacco remains as last quoted—very dull for all de scriptions, with prices in favour of buyers, except for fine old crop Kentucky. There was a pretty active inquiry for flour throughout the day chiefly for domestic consumption, but at down ward tending figures. Ihe sales comprised 10.000 bar rels: superfine No. 2 at 3 dolls. 62c. to 3 dolls. 81c.; mixed to good Western at 4 dolls. 6c. to 4 dolls. 180.; round hoop Ohio at 4 dolls. 12c. to 4 dolls. 25c.; and pure Geneses at 4 dolls. 31c. to 4 dolls. 37ic.; Canadian was quite dull, 450 barrels i❑ bond realised 4 dolls. 12c. to 4 dulls. 25c ; Southern remains about the same, with sales of 1,800 barrels mixed to good brands, at 4 dolls. 31c. to 4 dolls. 50c.; and France, at 4 dolls. 87c. to 5 dolls. 37ic. Rye, flour, and meal, were inactive at yesterday's quotations. Wheat was buo) ant and uniform; 13,000 bushels Canadian were taken at 98c. to 1 doll. lc.; and 10,000 bushels Ohio at 96c. Rye and barley were as noted in our former review. Oats less plentiful, and something better; Northern were selling at 42c. to 741 c.; Jersey 41c. to 42c.; and Ohio, at 40c. to 41c. Corn was offered freely at reduced prices; the operations included 36,000 bushels; damaged and heated western, at 53c. to 55c,; mixed ditto, 58c. to 59c.; and round yellow, at 59c. to 60c.

BOROUGH or FINSBURY.—A meeting of gentlemen from various parishes in the borough of Finsbury was held, on Friday evening last, in the board room of the Holborn workhouse, Little Gray's Inn-lane, with a view to consider the expediency of adopting some general and united effort in order to secure to the inhabitants the advantages of self government in affairs of a local nature. The meeting was well attended by gentlemen of influence in the respective parishes, and a general and strong opinion was expressed It that there were many questi ons o f great cal interest in con nexion with the borough which required the constant super intendence of some permanent body identified in interest with the ratepayers and inhabitants. Among these we'e mentioned the water supply. the proposed vark for Finsbury, and other sanitary and general improvements The subject underwent a full and deliberate consideration, and resulted in the unanimous adoption of a resolution, that it was expe dient that an association should be formed, to be called " the Finsbury Incorporation Association," whose duty it should be to take such steps as might be deemed expedient to secure to the inhabitants, by procuring a charter of incorporation, or otherwise, the advantages of local administration in all mat ters which concerned that large and populous borough. A provisional committee of twenty-one gentlemen was then ap pinted to carry out the resolutions, with power to add to their number, and they were instructed to seek co-operation and support from all the parishes and associations in the bo rough, and as far as possible to see that each part should be fully and fairly represented in the committee hereafter to be appointed. - MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR'S SYMPATHY FOR THE POOR.—In the last number of the Northern St ar M r. O'Con nor, addressing " his political children," gives the following estimate of his sympathy for the poor:—" Do not the work ing people of England think that another man in my posi tion would have now been a member of the Government if he had abandoned the cause of the people and gone with that party who profess to rule the people, but who oppress the poor? I told you before, that in the year 1833 I was offered the whole of the patronage of my own county, if I would support the Government, and not the Irish people. I also told you before, that in the year 1839, when the Conference was sitting, I was offered to be placed upon the Bench in Ireland as a judge, if I would abandon Chartism, but 1 re fused is. And now, working man, I repeat again what I told Lord Edisbery in the year 1833, who was then whipper in to the Whigs—' That if they amalgamated all the offices of Governor-General of India, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, Prime Minister, and Lord Chancellor , and offered them all to me, that the whole would not bribe me to give a vote in the House of Commons that was calculated to injure the poor.'" —Leeds Mercury. We are sorry to learn that the project of the Duke of Northumberland, for additional surveys and excavations in and near the wall of Severna on his Grace's estate, is not likely to be carried into effect this year. Such w or k s can only be undertaken and prosecuted in the summer, and this summer has been and is likely to be so completely occupied in the metropolis, that it has not been found easy to c o ll ec t at Aln ick, even to enjoy the hospitalities of the Castle, a body of antiquaries and men of science qualified to superin tend the progress of the discoveries. The kind intentions of his Grace were, as we stated, generally made known to most parties interested in. such inquiries some months ago, and sun d r y anticipations of the subject were indulged; but, for the present, it seems more than rbable th a t t h ey will be di sa ppointed. If we are not misinformed, however, the pleasure is only deferred to a more favourable opportunity.— Chronicle. The number of accused in what is called the Lyons plot is forty-three—of whom thirty-four are in cus tody. The trial is expected to begin at the latter end of the month; it is to take place at the Court of Assize of the Palace of Justice, before a court-martial. The number of witnesses to be summoned for the prosecution is eighty-two. The accused were on Friday taken before the officers charged to investigate the affair, and all the documents were read to them ; they were also called on to name the persons they wished to be summoned to give evidence on their behalf. The documents connected with the affair are very numerous, and the trial will oocuPY several days.—Gedirscoei J VLY l4, 1851. LAW IMPROVEMENTS. The Common-law Commissioners have at length fired their first shot, which has fallen like a shrapnel shell among the antiquated forms and absurd technicalities of Practice acid Pleading. Alias and pluries writs, writs of distringas and process of outlawry, special demurrers and forms of action, proferts and oyers, express colour and special,traverses, general issues by statute, legal fic tions, signatures of counsel and rules to compute—these are some of the mischievous subtleties in which quaint old legal coxcombs have hitherto revelled, but which are now doomed to a speedy and ignominious extinction. The leguleius quidam cautus et acutus: praco actionurn, cautor lormularum,auceps syllabus um—in one word, the pettifogger—will doubtless mourn over these inno cents, like Rachel over her children, because they are not. The Lord Chancellor, advised by his friends the attorneys, will, of course, utter a touch ing Jeremiad, and will expatiate upon the danger of entrusting the amendment of the law, " of which he was the staunch advocate long before it was the fashion to be so," to the ,‘ rash hands" of such men as the Commissioners, Mr. Baron Parke, too, will assuredly put in a special demurrer to some of the propositions contained in the report, and will then fancy that the Legislature, like the Court of Exchequer, will be content to give judment in this suit of Common Sense v. Com mon Law on some formal point which is wholly beside the substantial merits. Interest and ignorance, and obstinacy and indifference, will each and all use their small endeavours to defeat, or at least to diminish and delay, the threatened reform. But still it must come. The public are determined to have it, and the Com missi( ners have pointed out in what way it can be ac complished. Nay, they have done more; for, not content with care fully remodelling their former " Suggestions," t h ey have, in an admirable report of sixty-six pages, explained the nature and extent of the evils which they seek to re medy, and shown in detail the foundations on w hi ch their recommendations rest. Moreover, all this inform s . tionis conveyed in plain, straightforward, and manly lan guage, which, being equally intelligible to the nonpro fessional and to the professional reader, will enable every one to judge for himself how far the changes proposed are likely to be productive of good. This is precisely what we want. The physician who prescribes pure water as " agua distillate"—the haberdasher who, eschewing plain figures, marks his goods with an "n. w." or an ".r. y."—and the lawyer who conceals his meaning under the guise of a technical jargon—may respectively humbug the patient, the customer, and the client, and they will be suspected of doing so, even though they are ac tuated by the purest motives. It is, therefore, obvious that the Commissioners, in condescending to ,translate the technical terms of law into ordinary English, have taken a very wise step; for they have not cnly enabled laymen to comprehend their meaning, but they have secured a feeling of confidence towards themselves, which would certainly have been, in a great measure, withheld bad their report been clothed in mere legal phraseology. The importance of thus gaining the confidence of the public will be more fully appreciated when it is under stood that the report already presented by the Commis sioners embraces only a small portion of the subjects referred to their consideration. The Commission, which was issued on the 13th of May, 1850, directed an inquiry " into the process, practice, and system of pleading of the Superior Courts of Law at Westminster; the manner of conducting suits and other proceedings in such courts and on the circuits, and the costs, charges, and expenses incidental thereto; the practice of the Judges' Chambers, and the duties of the several officers, clerks, and other persons of and connected with such courts, circuits, and Judges' Chambers.". This, it will be seen, opened up a vast field of investigation, and we think that the Commissioners have exercised a vary sound discretion in confining their attention, for the ' present, to the ordinary proceedings in an action at law ; but we confess that we should have ' felt better pleased had their report included all such proceedings. It was very judicious to reserve for future consideration the law relating to quo warrantos, mandamuses, informations, motions, affidavits, costs, and a variety of other miscellaneous matters; but it is not easy to perceive why the Report should be wholly silent on the subject of venue, of judg ments as in case of a nonsuit, of the proceedings at nisi prius, and, above all, of the law of evidence. The omis sion of this last subject is, indeed, of less importance, as Lord Brougham's Evidence Bill—which has passed the Upper House with the hearty approval of the best lawyers in it, and which, under the auspices of the At torney-General, has already been read a second time in the Commons—will unquestionably go far towards curing the most flagrant defects in our system of legal proof; but still there are several matters respeotibg the law of evidence, not touched by that Bill, which require amendment, and which might advan tageously have been discussed and determined upon by the Commissioners. However, we have no wish to canvass in a hypercritical spirit a report which so justly deserves praise, and we readily accept it as a most valuable instalment. We cordially concur in the opinion expressed by Lord Campbell, when he de clared in the House of Lords, on Monday last, " that the - report reflected the highest credit upon the Commis sioners, to whom the country was under the greatest obli gation for their valuable and gratuitous services." Notwithstanding our hearty assent to this well deserved eulogium, we will not disguise the fact that we still entertain doubts as to the feasibility of dovetailing the new and the old law, so as to make the one consistent with the other, and both intelli gible; and we should infinitely have preferred a scheme of amendment resting on the solid basis of au entire new code of procedure. Nay, we believe that the proposal fur fusing law and equity, which has re cently emanated from the Law Amendment Society, and which is rapidly attracting the attention that it deserves, is a safe, practicable, and most salutary plan ; and we are, of course, aware that, if it should ulti mately be regarded in that light by the country, much of the labour of the Commissioners in preparing their pre sent report will prove to have been needlessly bestowed. Still, no one can doubt that both these prop3sals—em bracing as they do comprehensive and fundamental changes—are little likely to challenge immediate assent; and we therefore hail with satisfaction the recommenda- tions'of the Commissioners, which, at least as a provi sional scheme, will remedy some of the most flagrant evils with which suitors are now oppressed—whilst, in the event of the other more enlightened and adventurous measures falling, they will lay the foundation for several important improvements in the judicature of the country. —Chronicle. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S CATTLE SHOW. WINDSOR, SUNDAY,—The annual meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, which was intended at one time to have been held in Hyde Park, adjoining the Great Exhibition, but which, by the gracious permission of her Majesty, has been removed to the Home Park of Windsor, commences to-morrow. During Friday and Saturday the cattle were introduced into their places in the show-yard, and on Saturday evening the last of them had arrived. The judges begin their labours of exeming the stock and awarding the prizes at nine o'clock to-morrow morning ; and it is understood that her Majesty and Prince Albert, who came down to the Castle last night, will visit the show-yard in the course of the day.

THE GREAT CHESS TOURNAMENT. - The first prize in this very interesting contest of skill is decided against England, Herr Anderssen having succeeded in de feating his fourth antagonist, Mr. Wyvill, These gentlemen played seven games, of which Herr Anderssen wvo four, Mr. Wyvill two, and one was drawn. Messrs. Staunton and Williams have played twice since our last notice, on both of which occasions Mr. Williams was successful. The score is now three to three, consequently the next game will decide their respective position among the players, unless the game should be drawn. They are to play again on Wednesday. The tournament will then be at an end, except as regards the relative position of Messrs. Horwitz and Mucklow, who have still to play. There is still to take place a game by consultation, three players on each side, and it is rumoured that Mr. Staunton will avail him self of the clause in the articles, which entitles any player to challenge the winner of the first prize to play a match of 15 or 21 games for a hundred guineas. BURGLARY AND ROBBERY or 3,000/.—On Satur day, at the Ipswich Quarter Sessions, three well-dressed men, named Davis, Hodson, and Griffiths, were indicted for bur glarioualy entering the counting-house of Mr. Fison, of the steam flour-mills, and stealing therefrom an iron chest monies and securities, amounting in value to 3,00 W. The prisoners succeeded in forcing out the safe with an iron bar, and had put it in a sack preparatory to its being placed in a cart which the prisoners had with them, but the sudden appearance of a labourer who slept in the mills caused then? to make a precipitate retreat, and springing into the cart drove off at a furious speed along the - London-road. The sack and safe were found near the counting-house. The police immediately worked the telegraph, and about four o'clock the following morning the defendants were captured by by Mr. Witham. All the prisoners were found gailkr s t t e the Recorder sentenced them to be transported bey “ °n seas for ten years.

THE COMIC HISTORY OF ROME. By the Author of the" Comic History of England." Illustrated by John Leech. No. 111. This, the third part of the " History of Rome," carries us on merrily from the close of the war against the Volscians to the death of Marcus Manlius. The number is overilivving with fun, and is replete with hits at the absurdities and follies of the present day : e. g., in narrating the capture of Veii by Camillus, our author says— • " Tne King of Veii was offering a sacrifice in the Tem ple of Juno, just as the ROlllllllB had completed their tunnel, and as the soldiers burst like a crop of early champions through the earth, he saw his fate written in bold Roman characters. Everything was given to the conquerors, and it is said that the statue of Juno followed of its own accord; but the probability is, the statue re mained in statu quo, for miraculous instances of going over to Rome were not in those days numerous." Mr. A'Beckett, however, mingles much useful in struction with his fun, his resume of the laws of the twelve tables is admirable. The illustrations by Leech are full of humcur ; nothing can be more unctuous in every sense of the word than his vignette to the eighth chapter entitled " Roman Bull and Priest of the Period." SHERIFF'S BOOK KEEPING. The vast importance of a proper system of accounts, in a commercial country like our 2, must be self-evi dent ; yet, we apprehend, the science, if we may so term it, of book-keeping has not hitherto received that attention which its usefulness demands, and without a thorough knowledge of which the mer chant and trader must be in a continual state of un certainty and danger as to the exact position of their affairs. Indeed we entertain little doubt that many of the cases which come before the Bankrupt Court, and treated as ;fraudulent, arise frequently from ignorance of a proper system of keeping their ac counts. We believe much of the neglect with Neßich this subject has been treated is to be attributed to the vague and imperfect treatises which up to this time have issued from the press, and to the want of a cer tain, simple, and concise system of book-keeping. Mr. Sheriff's cheap, simple, and unpretending work appears to us eminently calculated to supply this de fect, and to achieve the end he professes to have in view, riz., the production of a treatise "designed for the use of merchants, clerks, and schools ;" and we can confidently recommend it to public consideration as a book of great practical utility. SCRIP ENOR'S SUPPLEMENT TO RAIL WAYS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. smith, Elder, and Co. It may be remembered that Mr. Scrivenor, the late Secretary to the members of the Liverpool Stock Exchange (to whom he dedicates the present volume), published an excellent work on the Rail.- ways of the United Kingdom in 1849. The compi lation now under consideration is strictly supple mental to the former, conveying intelligence from 1849 to the present year. It embodies the latest re ports from the directors of the several lines, and includes the latest returns; all the information on these and all other essential heads being collected from official sources. A table of the " Railway Re venue and Expenditure for the years 1849 and 1850" is a noticeable feature in Mr. Scrivenor's new volume, facilitating, by the novelty and simplicity of its con struction, the accurate ascertainment of all the cir cumstances of any one given line, a valuable mass of information being thus brought under notice at one view. Shareholders are thus afforded the opportu nity of contrasting, without any complexity of cal culation, the working expenses of their own with those of other lines, and so detecting the existence of any extravagance, for which the remedy is in their own hands at the half-yearly meetings. We can safely recommend a perusal of these 150 pages to those holders of railway stock who wish to possess a clear knowledge of the bona fide condition of their property. COURT CIRCULAR.

Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial Office from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. It is confidently calculated that Parliament will be prorogued about the 12th or 14th of August. Some people, judging from the lassitude exhibited by the Members, and the state of public business, would be disposed to fix on an earlier day ; but those who are better informed do not anti cipate a speedier release from the business of the session than we have here indicated.—Sunday Paper. GRAND BALL AT THE GUILDHALL FOR THE WARD SCHOOLS AND DISPENSARIES.—On Saturday a large number of the gentlemen connected with the committee for c )nducting the arrangements with reference to the ball to be held fur the benefit of the above-named excellent institu tions, and which is appointed to be held on Wednesday, met in No. 3, Committee-room, Guildhall. From several state ments made during the meeting, it appeared that the committee continue to receive increased announcements of patronage from the nobility and other distinguished per sons, eminent for their ardent support of local charities, both in and out of the city of London, the majority of whom have expressed their intention of honouring the ball with their presence. It is expected that the ball upon the occa sion will equal in point of magnificence and splendour that of Wednesday last, when her most Gracious Majesty visited the City. The corporation of London, with their accus tomed liberality, have placed at the disposal of the com mittee the whole of the beatuiful decorations and ornamental fittings prepared on the occasion of her Majesty's late visit, and as the cause is one of so benevolent a character, it is gratifying to find that the price of the tickets has beenj udi ciously fixed at a rate to bring together a most select and distinguished company. It is stated that a large number of the most accomplished visitors from foreign parts intend to avail themselves of the opportunity of attending this ball, and of witnessing one of the grandest displays of this present eventful year. The friends of the poor will be delighted to learn that the whole of the funds accruing from this ball will be devoted to the cause of charity, the entertainment being intended solely for the benefit of the dispensaries and the ward schools of the City. The committee inspected the beautiful and most splendid room appointed for the retire ment of her Majesty, which with the whole of its fittings, as well as the other arrangements as prepared for the Queen and the royal suite, will be open to the visitors. FEROCITY OF THE WEASEL.—As Thomas Matthew, carrier, was passing along the public road to the Burgie quarrie, last week, he observed a boy loitering opposite the plantation at Burnend. On inquiring the cause, the boy said he " couldoa gang by for fear o' the futterits, as they eye chased him back." Thomas went forward in the direc ton of the place, and on searching the' part of the toad orposite the weasel's burrow, a few of them immediately ran out and attacked him, and they were followed by several others. He laid about him lustily with his whip and killed `some, and put the rest to diga t _ E mu Gazote. NOTES FOR STRANGERS.
