At a late hour last evening Mr. Locaz brought forward his motion in the House of Commons on the subject of the abolition of the Post-office Sunday de livery. The resolution which the Hon. Gentleman submitted to the House was as follows : " That, whilst this House acknowledges with satisfac tion the diminution in the amount of Sunday labour effected by the recent arrangements in the Post-office, it cannot but be sensible of the great public inconve nience which has arisen from the total cessation of any delivery or collection of letters on Sundays, and that a bumble address be therefore presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to cause an inquiry to be made, whether the amount of Sunday labour might not be redaced without completely putting an end to the collection and delivery of letters, &c., on Sundays; and that, pending such inquiry, her Majesty , will be graciously pleased to give orders that the collec tion and delivery of letters, &c., on Sundays shall be continued as heretofore." I After a long discussion, Lord JOHN RUSSELL sug gested, as a substitute for the motion, that "a humble address should be presented to her MAJESTY, praying that sbe would be graciously pleased to cause an in quiry to be made whether the amount of Sunday labour in the Post-office might not be reduced with out completely putting an end to the collection and delivery of letters on Sunday." Mr. LOCKE pressed his motion to a division, when his resolution was rejected by a majority of 191, the numbers being for the motion 92, against it 233, whereupon Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S amendment was put as a substantive resolution, and, not withstanding the strenuous opposition of the Sabbatarians, was car ried by a majority of 83, the numbers being 195 for to 112 against it. It w ill b e seen therefore that the matter now rests entirely in the hands of the Go vernment, and we cordially j o i n Mr. Pump H OWARD in expressing " a h ope that the inquiry will / followed up with rapidity, a s it i s most unjust and - ;sr ( politic that a small portion of th e community should, . -.. at present, i m p o se restrictions u p on the great body .- , of the people." We should have bee n b etter pleased, ......\....) A s seeing it is admitted that the alteration has been 'grade without inquiry, had the Sunday delivery been restored pending the inquiry ; but Lord Jowl Rvs- }=,\Z TILE SUN, SELL has perhaps adopted the best course that under all the circumstances it was in his power to adopt. He took a false step when, in the first instance, he, in answer to the address of the House of Commons, recommended the abolition of the Sunday delivery without inquiry, and he has been hampered by the con sequence of his error ever since. It is clear that since the decision of last night the Government has the whole affair in their bands, and we would urge those who are in favour of a Christian and common-sense observance of the Sunday, as con tradistinguished from a Judaical and, puritanical one, to act with vigour. The Sabbatarians are endeavouring by every means in their power to put "the screw on," and they must be fought with their own weapons. The division list should be scrutinized with accu racy, and those who have abstained from voting out of fear of the saints, or who have voted with them out of fear, should be reminded by their constituents indi vidually that the majority of electors may perhaps be found on the other side. We urge upon our brethren of the Press, and upon all who are in terested in this matter, the absolute necessity of not relaxing a moment in their pressure on this subject until the restoration of the Sunday post is practically reduced to action—which it may be within one week, and will be, if the matter be properly urged on the attention of the members of the Government, with whom, and with whom alone, the decision of this matter rests. We could not but be struck with the " modest assurance" (if the man had not been a Lord, we should have designated it by some other name) of my Lord ASHLEY, who in the course of the debate, coolly asked whether it could be said that a full, fair, and sufficient trial had been given to the measure, seeing that it had been only in operatiod for twenty days. There are some poisons so rapid in their operation as to produce death in twenty se conds, and this measure, which condemns all mankind] to social death every Sunday, has had more than a sufficient trial. As was well said by Mr. AGLIONBY, it has been tried too long, and it has given extreme dissatisfaction to the country. The bearded Member for Birmingham, Mr. Mueaz, whose whole career has been one long hunt after notoriety, sup ported the Sabbatarians, because he (Mr. MuNez) had been in the habit of receiving from thirty to forty letters every Sunday, the reading of which he found to ba a matter of per sonal inconvenience ; but surely Mr. MUNTZ might have obviated this by simply abstaining from opening his letters on a Sunday. Why should the poor man be deprived of the comfort of hearing from his son or daughter, and answering their letter on a Sunday, because Mr. MIINTZ does not possess sufficient self-command to withstand the temptation to do that which he believes to be wrong ? The Hon. Gentleman also thought it decent to assert that all the letters of complaint which had ap peared in the newspapers had been written by the editors themselves. This assertion is, perhaps, the most unfounded that even Mr. Minsez ever made, and that is saying a great deal. The Honourable Member has at various periods of his existence been himself connected with journalism, and may, per haps, have been in the habit of making anonymous CJOlnaunications to himself; but we can assure him, from a very lengthened experience, that such practices are eschewed by all conductors of newspapers of character and respectability. It is not, however, the merchant or the manufacturer, or the banker who is so interested in the restoration of the Post office Sunday delivery as the poor man. It is emphatically and par excellence the poor man's question This point was admirably put by Lord Jouzi RUSSELL, " I own it appears to me," 'said the Noble Lor3, " that if the commercial men of Manchester, or Gies• gow, or other large towns are generally of one mind as to this subject, there is nothing which should pre vent them from refraining from carrying on commer cial business ; but it is a different question with those persons who have families and domestic affairs con cerning voyages abroad, or friends in imminent dan ger. Here is a difficulty which I cannot get over. The Post-office is armed with all the power of the State to prevent other persons frem taking letters, and is there fore charged and takes upon itself to be charged exclu sively with this duty of conveying a letter on Saturday evening from London, informing a daughter that her father is dangerously i 1 ), and that if she does not re ceive the letter immediately, she may never see him again or receive his blessing; and the letter having arrived in the provincial town early on Sunday morning is there detained 24 hours in the post-office the daughter knowing of her father's illness, and suffer ing all the agonies of protracted anxiety during these 24 hours." The question is one of domestic and social, rather than of mercantile importance. If Mr. MIINTZ desires to benefit by information he may have re ceived on a Sunday to make his thousands by a lucky spec, he has the railway and the electric telegraph at his command; not so the poor man, who, although able to afford his penny for his letter, cannot afford fifteen shillings for a message, and yet the poor man is to be condemned for twenty-four hours to the agonies of suspense as to the life or death of a dear loved child, because, forsooth, the personal convenience of Mr. Muerrz is served by the stoppage of the Post office delivery on Sunday. The most logical and most convincing speech of the debate was that of Mr. ROEBUCK ; the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield exposed in the most complete manner the fallacies of those who pretend that this question of Post-office Sunday, delivery is a religious quee tion He at once directly and roundly asserted that f this was a religious question, that House had no right to interfere in the matter. That House had no right to thrust down the throat of any man a religious opinion. (Cheers.) He denied that the Sabbath came of the Christian religion.—(Hear, hear,' from Colonel Thompson.) He spoke it seriously and gravely as one conscientiously and deeply concerned for the interests of the country, that as far as religion was concerned, this question was not within the competency of the House of Commons. Well, then, if it was not the Jewish Sabbath which they were endeavouring to enforce, it was the Christian Sunday.—(Hear, bear.) What was the Christian Sunday? A thing that differed widely from the Jewish Sabbath.—( Hear, hear. )" This unanswerable argument evidently produced a great effect, and gave a tone to the whole of the debate ; the religious pretence was not osten tatiously put forward as it has been on other occasions, and when alluded to, it was al luded to so gingerly that it was evident even the saints themselves were a ashamed of it. The following argument •of the Hop. and Learned Member for Sheffield was also feltio be unanswer able, and was, therefore, unanswered : " The Noble Lord the Member for Bath talked of Post office labour on the Sunday. But where was the difference between the work of a man who dropped a letter at a door and that of the servant who rose early in the morning, who laid the elegant breakfast table, and then prepared the coach to drive his lord or master to church. (Cheers.) A healthy man required but a crust of bread and a gliss of water. But to t la ha y t Lord ASIIL EY , how many of th ose w h o s i gned pet i t i ons con fi ne d themselves rtiattris a very healthy man, did not inform; th e H ouse: how his servants pass the Sunday, or wh e th er - oretbitt r with a crust. N o t d ay h e'contents duced, through ou t the'd g l e a i ng u Ten t was pro ate s upport of the Sabbatarian : Was all , teki en asser tion and " huliee-t4an-tho u ,4' assumption • yet still we urget % our frienck:not to tust too implicitly to the:. goodness o f . their carue , Like their prototypesObELPhariseePPialio brought san. accusation of Sabbath;breaking agiinst the Divine Founder of our Christian religion, due modern Sab batarians are indefatigalle in _their exertions to cram their OWTh absurd do4rines down the throats of others, and. are perfectly reckless of the means which they employ for that purpose; it was but yesterday that some persons connected with one or two obscure weekly newspapers, whic* c are not pub lished on Sunday, waited on Lord JOHN RUSSELL, under the pretence ,that they were, a deputation of gentlemen connected the weekly newspapers, to solidit 'h is Lordship not to restore the Post-office Sunday delivery, when they must at the same time have known .that at a public meeting of gentlemen connected with- the weekly newspapers, held the t3glit' before, 4etition for the restoration of the Post-office Sunday delivery had been agreed to by a large-Enajwity. .Agaio we urge upon all those who are in favour of a really Christian and common-sense observance of the Sabbath not to relax in their exertions until. the Post e office Sunday delivery shall be restored. If the doctrine or .4 , 4nality" be reAlz abandoned, as asserted by her 4,ksiwe' Ministecif any al teration in the Reforiti' Act is ever to be anctioned, we are =able to conceive any rational grounds for LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY lO, 1850. the rejection of the equitable and judicious propo sition last night brought forward by the Honourable Gentleman the Member for East Surrey, in a speech of excellent sense and great moderation. The applica tion was made on behalf of a numerous and influential class who, through some strange omission, were deprived of the privileges to which other person , similarly circumstanced were entitled. The only distinction was one of venue. The favoured parties resided in what are termed " boroughs," which had the privilege of returning Members to Parliament, and where, in consequence of the smallness of the constituencies, each vote was of considerable im portance. The others resided in rural districts or, perhaps, in towns, which constituted parts of different counties. Not only was the franchise less valuable in such cases from the number of electors, but the qualification was placed on a very different foundation. In the one town every occu- pant of a house of the value of 101. sterling per annum was entitled to a voice in the election of E Member to represent his wants and wishes in the po pular branch of the Legislature, and to assent tc the taxation that might be required for the liquidation of the national liabilities and the maintenance of the national establishments In the other, a person so circumstanced would not only be excluded from the list of the voters, but even if he occupied for his exclusive use a house cf the annual value of 49/. per annum, and paid one third as much more for the general and local taxation thereof, and also contributed largely to the income-tax and other imposts, and was it, every respect a man of education and re finement, not only well qualified to vote for but to sit as a Member of the Imperial Parliament, he would be totally excluded from what ought to be the birth right of every freeman who contributed in any de gree, however trifling, to the national Exchequer. It was to remedy this strange anomaly that Mr. LocKE KING, last night, asked leave to bring in a Bill to assimilate the franchise in counties in England and Wales to that in boroughs, by giving the right of voting to all occupiers of tenements of the annual value of 101. The Hon. Gentleman pointed out the absurdity of allowing persons to be taxed, and that heavily, without being represented. He showed that "many men who had good houses in the coun try, worth something less than 501. per annum, who kept taxed servants, taxed horses and carriages, and who contributed largely to the expenses of the state in the shape of income-tax and other assessed taxes, were not allowed the privilege of a vote, while a man, who held freehold property of the annual value of 40s. a year, in forty different counties would possess as many different votes," and pertinently inquired, " why should a 101. householder in Andover be en titled to vote for two Members for that borough, while a 401. householder at Basingstoke should not be entitled to a vote at all," and " why a 101. house holder at Reigate should halve 1-198th share in send ing a Member to Parliament, while a person living in a larger and better house at Croydon, but paying something short of 50/. a year, was not allowed to have 1-6000th share in returning Members for the eastern division of Surrey?" There are many similar cases that might easily be enumerated, but it is unnecessary to do so. There is, perhaps, not a single person in the entire country who could not cite several cases of extraordinary hardship within bis own knowledge, where the parties excluded are em nently qualified to exercise soberly and discreetly the inestimable privilege of which they are deprived. The really working members of what are termed the learned professions—the curate, who toils in his vocation, carrying comfort and hope to many a humble cottage, is not entitled to vote, because, although a graduate of one of the universities, he cannot afford to devote 501. per annum for house rent out of the 1001. which he re cei ves as a fitting remuneration for the laborious duties of his profession ; the legal or medical practitioner ; the bustling or retired tradesman, the half-pay officer, who has devoted the best years of his life to the service of his country, and braved the dangers alike of armed foes and un healthy climates, are placed in the same category; but no relief is to be afforded to those aggrieved par ties, and all because Lord Jour; RUSSELL chooses to entertain a superstitious veneration for the Act of 1832, or considers that Libersl Members should yield an unreasoning and blind submission to 'he GJvernment. A more arrogant, a more petulant, a speech in every respect more unjustifiable, could not have been uttered than that in which the Noble Lord resisted the Equitable proposition, end dared to read a lecture to the Hon. Gentleman the Member f,,r the Tower Hlmkts for the expression of a very natural impatience at the snail-like pace at which her MAJESTY'S Ministers were disposed to travel on the path of reform. The taunts as to bringing into power another party may be responded to in a manncr by no means satis factory to the very Liberal Government that peremp torily rejects any extension of the franchise, however trifling. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. In the course of the debate on the law of the press, M. ROUHER, the Minister of Justice, designated the revolution of February a funeste catastrophe , whereupon M. ENTICE DE GIRA RDIN ca ll e d upon I.l'. Doris, the President, to call the Minister to order, a demand with which M. Durex rcfust-d to comply ; whereupon he was asked how he would have acted had any one in the days of Louis PHILIPPE spoken of the revolution of July as a catastrophe ? The President became enraged, the Assembly followed his example, and the debate was adjourned amidst a scene of indescribable confusion. In the evening a meeting of the Members of the Mountain was held at which M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN proposed that they should resign en masse, a proposition which, although seconded by M. MicHEL DE BOURGES, was rejected. It was ultimately determined to draw up a protest against the language used by the Minister, and deposit it on the tribune. M. ROUHER, who has been guilty of this escapade, is a little provincial lawyer, and a mere tool in the hands of the parti-pretre. The National accuses him of cowardice and treason. " Yes, cowardice (it says), because in pronouncing condemnation on the revolution, which is the origin of the present government, and in despising the principles which then triumphed, M. Rouher knew that he did so with impunity, and treason, became the act against the Republic is commited by a Minister of the Republic." Even the Debats blames M. ROUHER. It says : We are not republicans —we are not obliged to share the virtuous indignation of the Mountain—yet we admit that the word (catastrophe) does seem rather strange in ,he mouth of a Minister of the Republic. It must be, however, admitted that the word has a meaning of a very just and profound character, when we see the truth thus peering through an official fiction." It is ascertained beyond a doubt, that the lad WALKER, who charged himself with intending to assassinate Louis NAPOLEON, is mad. He is to be transferred to an asylum.

Mr.oo WAN moved, pursuant to notice, for returns of the names of the several railway companies against which any charges have been brought by the Commis sioners of inland revenue for arrears of passenger duty, on the ground of alleged non-compliance with the 7 and 8 Vic. c. 85, sec 6; copies of correspondence, since the Ist day of July, 1848, between the Lords of the Treasury, commissionary of inland revenue, or other revenue board, and railway commissioners, on the one hand, and any railway companies on the other, relative to alleged non-compliance with the Act 7 and 8 Vic. c. 85, s. 6, on the part of the said railway companies ; of la tters written, since the passing of the above-mentioned Act, by the railway commissioners, to any railway com ponies or board of inland revenue, or other revenue board, approving of the times of starting the trains of such railway companies, without in the first placo being applied to by the said railway ccmpanies for such ap proval ; of, any letter written by the r ailway commis sioners or board of inland revenue, or other revenue board, to any railway - companies, intimating any change of system on their part, to guide such railway companies as to the course to be in future adopted by them for obtaining the approval of the railway com missioners of the times of starting their trains, or con taining any caution or warning in consequence thereof : and, of any receipts granted by the revenue to railway companies, for their monthly payments of passenger duty, during the period for which arrears of duty are now charged, stating that such arrears were still due.--- Agreed to. MONUMENT TO THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL. Lord J. RUSSELL said—Sir, I . beg have to give notice that on Friday next, before the other orders of the day, I shall move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House with the view of considering the following resolution, namely, " That an humble address be pre sentel to her Mpjesty, praying her Majesty to be gra ciously pleased to give directions for the erection uf a monument in the collegiate church of St. Peter's, West minster, to the memory of the late Sir Robert Peel, with an inscription expressive of the public sense of the great and irreparable loss which the nation had sus. tained in the death of that late Right Honourable Gen tleman, and to assure her Majesty that this House will make good the expenses at ending the same.”—(Cheers.) With the permission of the House, I will now move that the House on Friday next do resolve itself into a Com mittee of the whole House, for the purpose of consider ing that resolution. The motion was put and carried nrrnine contradicente. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL then stated that after the fore going resolution had been disposed of on Friday, he proposed to go on with the Committee of Supply, while on Monday next he proposed to resume the Committee on the Ecclesiastical Commissions Bill. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. On the motion . for going into Committee on this Bli Sir G. PECUELL did not dispute the propriety o. giving additional posers to the inspectors of weights and measures, but he complained that while that was the object of the present Bill, several most useful Acts of Parliament would be abolished by which most of the large towns in the kingdom were governed. He hoped the Government would arrest the progress of the Bill, because h e b e li eve d i t was a p i ece of legislation which was wholly uncalled' for. So many important considerations were involved in the measure that even if the principle a ere approved of by the House, it would not be advisable to press it until the subject had been referred to a Committee of Inquiry. He concluded by moving that the Houze should go into Committee on the Bill this day three months. Sir JOHN DUCKWOR TH said his object had been to make the Bill as perfect as possible, and for that purpose be had taken the advice and received the assistance of those who were most conversant with the working of the present law. The working classes were the parties aho would be benefited most by the measure, because they were more liable t) the frauds practised upon the public by the use of chficient weights and measures. He trusted that the House would not accede to the amendment of the Hon. and Gallant Member. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived. The Espana states that the French Government has promised that the French marine shall assist in defending the Spanish colonies against piratical attacks.

The young man, whose name vvas'Fizh, was in the act of descending a ladder from the top of a hayrick with a large fork in his hand, and whether he let the fork drop and lost his equilibrium it is not. known; but he was observed to be struggling on Ihe ground, and was heard to exclaim, " I am staked, I am a dead man. After about thirty hours of the most excruciating agony, death put an end to his pains. A post mortem exami nation took pl ace when it w s found the handle of the fork had passed up i nto the cavity of the abdomen, until it reached diaphragm,the when it was stopped by that strong material. The blunt handle of the hayfork had carried away with it a part of the lad's trousers, which gave way at the moment of its entry into his body. ATHENS, JUNE 25.—The Wanderer states that King OTHO, in following the example of the SULTAN, bas commenced a tour, and has set out for the Cy clades. His reception is said not to have been parti cularly cordial, for the people were depressed by their lengthened sufferings. The budget, which amounts to 22,000,000 drachma. has only a res erve o f 8,000,000 to depend upon. ibis tremendous deficit is attributed not only o the insufficiency of the resources, but primarily to -he avarice of the officials.—Barnburgh Courant, July 5. STONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TW 0 O'CLOCK. The Cot ton Minket at Liverpool yesterday was active at higher prices. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, one half being taken for export and on speculation. The sales comprised 9,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maranhani, at 7 1 4 d. to Bd. ; 450 Bahia, st 774(1. ; 300 Egyptian, at 7 1 / 2 d. to 8 1 / 2 d. and 1,800 Surat, at 4 1 / 2 d. to 6d. per lb.—Railway ?hares were quiet, and pri ces h a d rather a downward ten dency. The public sales of Indigo began yesterday; the quantity leclered being 1 - 1,226 chests, partly in second bands. The Bengal is about three-fourths good and fine, and one fourth mid and ord. The Madras was one-third good with a few fine fine, and two-thirds mid and ord. The Kurpah half good and fine, and half mid and ord, and the little Java put up was of tine quality. Upon the question of a re-tare of the Indigo that has been in the warehouses more than twelve months, and to which we referred some days since, it was agreed that a special meeting should be called before the October sale. The Bengal offered yesterday, being a mixed parcel, was mostly with drawn ; prices ruling from par to 3d. per lb. higher than last May. The Kurpah was 3d. to 4d. dearer, and the Madras went at par to 3d. advance. Of the 1,095 chests which passed, 734 were sold. For these particulars we are indebted to Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury. The meeting of the Union Bank of London proprietors has been held this morning, and a favourable report being pre sented, it was adopted unanimously. The directors state that the extreme depression in the value of money during the past year has materially diminished the amount of profit which the extension of the business of the bank would otherwise have produced; but the proprietors will observe that, notwithstanding this disadvan tage, the net profits of the year amount to 33,8581. 95., out of which sum the directors' now declare a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum, clear of income-tax, amounting to 25,3741., and appropriate 5001., as usual, in reduction of the preliminary expenses, leaving an unappropriated balance of 7,984'. 9s. to be carried to profit and loss new account. At the last annual meeting the proprietors, by a resolution, recommended the directors to take into their consideration the subject of the interest then allowed to customers on their current accounts, and the directors having considered the question so referred to them, concurred with the proprietors, and on the 20th July last the following modification of the system was agreed upon, in the fairness of which the cus tomers have almost without exception acquiesced : "On all accounts where the balances shall at no time during the preceding six months have been below 500/., interest at the rate of 2 per cent. will be allowed on the minimum monthly balance as heretofore. On all accounts where the balances shall at no time during the preceding six months have been below 2001., interest at the rate of 1 per cent. will be allowed on the minimum mcuthly balance. On accounts which at any time during the preceding six months shall have been below 2001., no interest will be allowed." Inquiries having been made by several proprietors with reference to a connexion sup posed to exist between this bank and the Royal Bank of Australia, the directors feel that it will be satisfactory to the proprietors to receive their assurance that the only con nexion which ever existed between this company and the bank in question was the ordinary one of banker and cus tomer; and that the dealings of this bank with the Royal Bank of Australia were always confined within such limits as to exclude all possibility of ultimate loss accruing to this company. The prosperity of banks, with certain reservations, is a fair index of the prosperity of the mercantile community, and we are especially pleased to observe that the establishments con nected with the British West India possessions, and which had previously made such heavy losses, are slowly recovering part of their lost capital. In this way there is very little doubt that the Colonial Bank will ultimately stand in its original position, and which it well deserves to do, after the great sacrifices made by its proprietary, who are receiving now but two per cent, per annum for their money, the re maining profits being applied to the fund for meeting bad debts. The English Funds have been rather extensively dealt in, but firmly support their former price. Co 'ails have been quoted 9 6 / 4 to 97, and for August 97 to V t . The intelli gence from Paris of the conduct of the Montagnards in the Assembly is not particularly dwelt upon, although the direct attack upon the Republic shows how bold a front the re actionists are assuming. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98 3 / 4 to 99, and the Three per Cents. 97 to 97%. Bank Stock has been firm at 211, and India stock is at 265 to 1 / 2 . Exchequer-bills have been quoted_67s. to 705., and India Bonds 87s. to 90s. premium. The Foreign market has been dull. In Peninsular Securi ties there has been scarcely a bargain. Spanish Three per Cents. have been 37 1 / 2 . Brazilian Small Bonds are 92. Peruvian are nominal, and Equador have been 3 3 / 1 . Danish Five per Cents. have realised IC2 to 103 1 / 2 . Dutch Two • and-a-Half per Cents. have been 57 ex. dividend. Railway Shares have been without any uniform move ment. North Staffords are better, as it is officially intimated that there will be no further call. Great Western and the other lines are much the same. North British flat. Foreign Shares continue in request, and East Indian have touched X premium. United Mexican Line Shares have been more looked after and have reached 6 and 64. LEFT SPEARING.)

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, under the circumstances, would request the Court to postpone passing sentence. Mr. Byron ALDERSON acceded to this application, and the prisoner, who had been brought up in cus tody, was removed from the bar. THE ASSAULT ON THE QUEEN. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said there was a CM, in the calendar involving a charge of assault upon her Ma jes!y the Queen. The prisoner's name was Pate, and it would be convenient to all parties if the Court would fix the triel for the first thing to morrow morning. The Court granted the application. RAPE.— William Avery, aged 17, described as a brick.- maker, was indicted for committing a rape on Susannah Sound( re. Mr. Payne prosecuted, and Mr. Carter defended the prisoner. The prisoner lived next door to the prosecutrix, a girl 16 years of age, at West Drayton, and the offence was alleged to have been committed in a neighbouring brick field, on Saturday three weeks, the 15th of June. There was, however, something about the subs( quent conduct of the prosecutrix, which would induce a belief that the connexion had not been so compulsory as she would have it supposed. On reaching home after the oc currence, she told her mother that she had been " up set by a chap," but it was not until she discovered on the Monday morning that a third party had been a passive witness of tha whole affair, who made a joke of it amongst the companions of the prosecutrix, that she preferred this accusation against the prisoner, who had previously passed as ber sweetheart. _ The j uiytherefore found the prisoner Not Guilty, and he was at once liberated. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) 77a.mas laidlaw, a young man abut twenty years of age, and very respectably attired, was placed at the bar !Afore Mr. Jardine, charged with attempting to murder a female with whom be cohabited. Robert Dones, drummer in tho Coldstream Guards, deposed that last evening he was present at a concert at the Assembly-rooms, rrinces-street, Dtury-lane. The prisoner and the female were part of the company. Wit ness heard the prisoner call the female, whose name is Catherine Vitch, a "street walker," to which she replied, "If I am, you made ma so." The prisoner said, angrily, " What ?—s ty that again." She repeated the words, and he struck her. The female scrummed out " I'm stabbed! I'm stabbed! " Witness ran up to her and found blood issuing from a severe wound ou the left breast. The prisoner here darted out of the room and witness followed him. While in Princes-street the prisoner threw away the knife with which he stabbed his victim, and witness picked it up. It was a common table .knife. Mr. Watson, a medical man, said it 'was a most dan gerous wound ; sho was • removed to the hospital in a most precarious condition. Mr. JARDINE asked the prisoner if he had anything to say to the serious charge. The prisoner burst into tears,; but raid nothing. He was then remanded till Friday next. MARRIAGE OF MAJOR H. B. EDWARDES, C. 8.- The marriage of Major H. B. Edwardes, C. 8., who so greatly distinguished himself in the late war in the Punjaub, and Miss Emma Sidney youngest daughter of the late Mr. James Sidney, of Richmond -hill, was yesterday morning solemnized at Petersham Church, Surrey, in the presence of 50 relatives and friends. The nuptial ceremony was per formed by the Rev. James Sidney, M.A., perpetual curate of itedlynch, Somersetshire, half-brother of the bride, who was attended to the altar by a body of youthful and lovely ladies. At the conclusion of the ceremony the newly-married couple and the bridal party repaired to Dr. and Mrs. Grant's resi dence on Richmond -hill, where a sumptuous dejeuner awaited them. Before the breakfast the magnificent gold medal about to be presented to Major Edwardes by the East India Company was exhibited to the gallant Major's friends. It is a superb testimonial. On the obverse side, within a wreath of laurel supported by two allegorical figures of Fame, is the following inscription :--" From the East India Company to Lieutenant and Brevet-Major H. B. Edwardes, C. 13., for his services in the Punjaub, A.D. ISIDCCCXL V111.. ' " and on th e reverse is the lik eness o f h er M a j esty with the words " Victoria Regina."

Last night, at 20 minutes before 10 o'clock, his Royal High ' nes Adolphus Frederick, Duke of Cambridge, uncle to her Most Gracious Majesty, departed this lite, at Cambridge House, to the great grief of her Majesty and of all the Loyal Family."

THE WEATHER.—The mean reading of the ba rometer in the past week was 29.785 inches. The tempe rature varied little during the week, and the mean was 9.6 deg., slightly below the average of the same week in seven years. The wind blew during the first fur days from the so u th- west, and afterwards g e nerally from th e west. --- DLSTRUCTION OF TEA.--The revenue authorities have re cently given permis-ion, on filo application of the proprietors of the bonding premises in which it was deposited, for the entire and complete destruction of nearly 20,0001b5. weight of refuse tea, which was not considered to be worth the duties chargeable thereon. The mode of effect ing the destruction of the tea is by taking it down to Sea Reach, and there casting it into the sea, in presence of the proper officers of the revenue, until it thus becomes gradually and completely lost. CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. Scarcely any English Wheat was on sale in to-day 'a market, ccastwhe or by land carriage. Ahhough the attendance of buyers wai limited, the demand for all kinds if wheat if home produce was steady, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. From abroad, 8,420 quarters of Wheat have reached us this week, in v,..ry middling condition. Fine dry qualities moved off freely, at extreme currencies, and, in some instances, the value of the secondary parcels bad an improved tendency. No English Bark) , at market, and the supply of foreign was moderate. The demand ruled steady, at full rates of currency. There was a slight improve ment in the demand for Malt, at very full prices. Good sound Oats siert 6d dearer. All other kinds ruled firm. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, steady. The top price of flour was 40s per 280 lbs. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Malt. Fl our. --- Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

It cnitains the names of 155, being 25 more than appeared in the former edition. TUE CASE OF WALTER WATTS.—The ATTORNEY.. GENERAL wished to know it it were the pleasure of the Court to give judgment in the case of Walter Watts, who had been convicted of stealing a piece of paper from the Gh;Tao Insurance Company. There were other charges against the prisoner, but as he was anxious to save the time of the Court end the public, and if their Lordships would first look over the depositions in the other cases before passing eentence, he should not feel it necessary to proceed with the other indictments. If, however, the sentence now to be pronounced, would only have reference to the single offence of which the prisoner had been convicted, then he should feel it to be his duty to press the other charges. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, he wished to consult the other Learned Judge who assisted in trying the case be. ford he pronounced judgment on the prisoner, as he did not concur in the view which had been taken of the case. The judgment, however, he might state, must be pronounced upon the indictment charging the pri soner with stealing a piece of paper of trifling value. No doubt that was not all the crime he had been guilty of, but still the Court could only deal with that offence which had been specifically established against the prisoner. ~s.
