VISIT TO HER MAJ EST Y'S GERMANY. MAYENCE, SUNDAY, Aua. 17. The Queen and the Prince are taking a day's rest here, after the almost_ incessant locomotion a►►d excitement of the last week. To-morrow morning they start at 7 o'clock for Wurzburg, where it is expected they will arrive at about 8 o'clock in the evening. They will go to the palace of the King of Bavaria, where they will remain for the night, and early the next day they go to Coburg, which, after another tedious day's journey, they are to reach on Tuesday evening. Her Majesty attends Divine service this afternoon at the English church, where service will be performed by the Rev. Mr. Dunnage, the English chaplain. In the evening the royal part• dine again with Prince William of Prussia, at the Government-house. There is very little stir in Mayence to-day. A few people stand arnivid the flott.l de L'Europe, staring at the sentinels on duty, and hoping to catch a glimpse of the Queen,. and there have been one or two arrivals, among them the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, who at once proceeded to visit her - Majesty at her hotel. In other respects the town of Mat cocc is as quiet as so pretty and populous a place can be. But the ordinary habits of the people are those of an English holiday. Tney are to be seen, as in most German towns, strolling. about the streets, on the quays, arid especially on the briape of b ats, as gay and as idle as if life were made for I.leasure alone. Yet there are Front's enough that the populution are not idle. The shops are not very inferior to those in the largest cities, and the buildings are on a magnilweat scale. The new fortifications, too, which are ri,.)%v builitin.g along the left bank of the Rhine, are very tine specimens of workmanship. An additional air of gaiety t givm' to the streets by the presume of the lit , tr:aii and l'rtts sari troops, whose glittering uniforms of mingled white and blue mix prettily enough with the general costumes of the people. One thing strikes a stran ger in MAyenee—the excessive cleanliness of the town. Anything in. - ire beautifully white and pure cannot be con ceived. Tao limiseq, the pavement, all seem as if they had been specially prepared for the occasion. It reminds one of some of our best English watering-places. Mayence, too, is full of associations ; hut the chief interest to stringers consists in its being the birthplace of Guttemberg, Thor waldseu's ~tutue of who'll is erected in a conspicuous place in the city. The following speech, delivered by the Bing of Prussia, in proposing the health of her Majesty after dinner at Brilhl on Tuesday, the 12th instant, will be interesting to the reader ; but, in order to enable him fully to under stand the sentiment conveyed in it, it may be mentioned that it was formerly the custom of the German armies, after having won a battle, to fire, on the very field of battle, a round of all the artillery as a proclamation of victory. This was called " Victoria Schiessen.' The custom has grown into desuetude, but the term remains, and the word " Victoria" is, therefore, in the Getman language and poetry especially , consecrated to victory, and associated with the idea of a song of triumph after battle. Indeed. the word is only used in Germany in this selie, except as the name of the Goddessof Victory. The object of the King in wording the toast as he did, was to pay a delicate compliment to the Queen of England, and the ori ginal, of which the following is a translation (by a German, let it be observed), is considered to have effected that ob ject.- It is also a very excellent specimen of good racy Ger man diction : "Gentlemen, fill your glasses to [the brim 1 There is a word which inspires with unspeakable delight every British an I German heart. That word resounded once over a field of battle, after a fierce st7uggle, as the symbol of a brothe,r hood in arms, which had been blessed with success. This day that word resounds, after 30 years of peace, that happy fruit of the arduous work of those days, here in the German lands, on the banks of the beautiful stream of the Rhine— that ward ' Victoria " Gentlemen, take your glasses, and empty them to the last drop The ...I.ject of the toast is, ' Her Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Long live Queen Vic toria avid Ler not illustrious Consort I' " Atneog tioise who dined with the royal party while with the King of Prussia, was the celebrated Baron Humboldt. Baron liolow was to have been present also, but was pre. vented by very serious indisposition. The route of her Majesty from the time she leaves the Rhine will ba through a country where, in consequence of the peculiar dislike of the German people to anything like rapidity of communication, there will be considerable diffi cultv in sending early intelligence. It is more than probable, therefore, that some two or three days may elapse after the present publication before any account can be received in London of her Majesty's further movements. DARING ATTFMFT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—AS Mr. Raynor, of Waltha:nstow, was walking along the roar , between the Infant Orphan Asylum and Wl.ip's-crosv, on Toe-thy evening, about half-past eight, he was suddenly ac • c aped by a Irian presenting a pistol at him, demanding money ; but Air.

The horse-patrol coming up soon after, made diligent search, but did not succeed in apprehend ing the offender. THE VITN, LONDON, FRIDAY_ MORNING, AUGUST mt, 1845.

Forced to live out of his native country—constantly applying to GIBBS for mitre prompt and for larger remittances—amused by the scrivener with driblets only, doled out from time to time, to keep him quiet and prevent his importunate barking—this unfortunate man appears to have been compelled to play the part of a useful but unrewarded puppet in GIBBS'S hands. Then he makes applications to Gums, under GIBBS'S instructions, for advances of money, which money GIBBS obtains from third parties on the strength and exhibition of those applications; bills are drawn_ to carry out the appearances needful to give a genuine character to the scrivener's proceedings. Bi:ls are discounted in one batch to the tune of 5,0001. The proceeds (4,8001. and upwards) are actually re mitted to the Ostend victim, and he is obliged to go through the tragic farce of returning them, sub rad, to GIBBS, on receiving another similar remittance from that party, so as to withdraw the bank-notes trans mitted for the tint transaction, those of the second being submitted to a similar course of operations, and then—converted into gold; the poor gentleman at Ostend all the while deriving precisely as little benefit from this evidence of the convertibility of the bank paper into bullion on demand, as this country has ex. perienced from Sir ReBERT PEEL'S convertibility nos trum in the working of its currency system—that is, he gains a loss. We earnestly hope that this remarkable judgment will be extensively perused and studied. We know of no more disorganising and demoralising influence, affecting the pi ace and welfare of society in this country, than the practices of these money-lending and bill. discount ing attorneys of whom we speak. Mr. LIELL'S recently-published " Travels in North America," contain a chapter devoted to the English Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The eminent geologist's inquiries into the condition of the universities in the United States exposed him to many counter inquiries as to the English universities ; and Mr. LYELL felt much shame and humiliation in being com pelled to tell of the complete neglect of science and philosophy in Oxford and Cambridge, and of their general inefficiency. In order to direct public attention in this country to what is so great a matter of shame and reproach to us, Mr. LYELL has entered at con siderable length into the question of the English Uni versities ; and as there is no one whose opinions on such a subject are more entitled, by scientific acquirements and fame, to attention, we make no apology for present ing our readers with some extracts from Mr. LYELL'S chapter on Oxford and Cambridge. The general rule in Oxford and Cambridge is, that the university professors have no audiences. The edu cation is carried on, not by the university professors, hie. by college-tutors : and the subjects taught by the college-tutors are almost exclusively classics and mathe matics, which are the subjects of examination for de grees. Those who aspire to honours through the me dium of these examinations have no time to attend the lectures of the university professors ; the college sys tem of education, and the college-created system of uni versity examinations, fill up all their time ; while those who do not aspire to honours, and do not devote them selves to classics and mathematics, have no inducement to attend the professors' lectures, as the universities give no honours in connexion with the subjects which they profess. An attempt was made in Oxford in 1839 to require the attendance of all under-graduates, on some professors' lectures ; and on very strong representations of many of the most eminent professors, the Board of Heads proposed to Convocation a statute requiring attendance on at least two series of professors' lectures, as a preliminary qualification for the B. A. degree. The proposed statute was rejected by Convocation ; but another statute was passed compelling professors to lecture. We quote Mr. LYELL'S remarks on this con duct of Convocation and its results : " While they threw out that part of the proposed statute which would have gone far towards reviving the professorial chairs, they passed another part requiring the Processors of Astronomy, Experimental Philosophy, Chemistry, Geo. logy, Mineralogy, Anatomy, Botany, Medicine, Civil Law, English Law, Gre-k, Arabic, Sanscrit, Anglo- Saxon, Poets y, Modern History, and Politics' Economy, to de liver regular courses of lectures. Tney were, in fact, bound, not only by ancient statutes, to require the teachers above enumerated faithfully to discharge their duty, but in modern times, or since the examination statute of 1800, they had sanctioned the foundation of new chairs, such as Experi mental Philosophy, Mineralogy, Geology, Political Economy, and Sanscrit, and had accepted annual grants from the Crown to endow certain readerships. In homage therefore to the moral obligations they had incurred, not to render these new and old foundations nugatory, they continued to exact an outward conformity to the statutes, by enforcing the delivery of lectures, the efficiency of which they allowed other parts of their system entirely to defeat. Their conduct reminds us of the orders issued by Chat'es V, to offer up prayers thrmeh out Spain for the deliverance of the Pope, whi:e he suffered his army to retain him prisoner in the Castle of St. Angelo. Atter the year 1839. we may consider three fourths of the sciences, still nominally taught at Oxford, to have been virtually exiled from the University. The class rooms of the Pi ()lessors were some of them entirely, others mostly, des,rted. Chemistry and botany attracted, be tween the years 184 1 1 and 1841, from three to seven students; geometry, astronomy, and experimental philosophy scarcely more; mineralogy and geology still taught by the same professor, who, fifteen y+•ars before, had attracted crowded audiences, from ten to twelve ; political economy still fewer; even ancient history and poetry scarcely commanded an audience ; and, strange to say, in a country with whose destinies those of India are so closely bound up, the first of Asiatic scholars gave lectures to one or two pupils, and these might have been absent had not the cherished hope of a Boden scholarship for Sanscrit induced them to attend." Mr. LYELL'S account of Cambridge is very similar:— " Very recently at Cambridge, all branches of knowledge taught by the professors—in a word, every subject except what is understood in our universities by classics and mathe matics—have had sentence of banishment passed upon them in the form of new compulsory examinations, under the manage ment of college tutors, the Oxford plan of awarding honours to classical and mathematical attainments alone being adhered to. professors of chemistry and anatomy, wbo had formerly considerable classes, have only mustered six or seven pupils, although still compelled to give courses of fifty lectures each. The chairs of modern history, and of the application of machinery to the arts, once numbering audiences of several hundreds, have been in like manner deserted. Yet dispensa tions are rarely granted for the discontinuance of uselem duties, even when only two pupils present themselves. Moreover, here, as at Oxford, it is not uncommon to give such chairs as mathematics, natural philosophy, chemistry, botany, astronomy, geology, mineralcogy, and others, to clergymen, who combine them with clerical duties, or throw them up when they obtain preferment ; and who, however eminent, owing, as they must do, a mired allegiance, partly to their ecclesiastical order, and partly to the professional body. cannot stand up with heart and courage in defence of the public, as opposed to the clerical and collegiate interests." The education afforded by Oxford and Cambridge is not only thus limited and unsatisfactory in character, but is most unreasonably expensive. The Quarterly Review complained not long ago, that owing to the great ex pense of college education, and to the Bishops almost universally requiring a college education of candidates for holy orders, the Church was becoming closed to all but members of the higher and rich middle classes. The Prime Minister has, in the course of the last session, emphatically reprobated the expensiveness of Oxford and Cambridge. One great source of expense is the private tutor in the universities, whose very existence is a reps oach to the college tutor who has super seded the university professor. The college lectures being insufficient to prvpare the under-graduates for the examinations, they resort to private tutors, who are paid at a much higher rate. Mr. LYELL says, "An Oxford tutor informed me that, in the years 1840 and 1841, no less than 250, or one-fifth of the resident students, pro cured this kind of assistance, the aggregate sum paid by them amounting to more than 10,0001. a year! Mr. ',YELL quotes Dr. PEACOCK, the Dean of Ely, as affirm ing the same state of things at Cambridge. Dr. PEA- C3CS says of the Cambridge private tutors—" These teachers are young and inexperienced, and not com petent to convey enlarged views to their pupils. This unhappy system has contributed more than any other cause to the very general, and, in some respects, just complaints which have been made of late years of the paucity of works of learning and research which have issued from the University of Cambridge." The expenses of college education shut the doors of Oxford and Cambridge to a large portion of her MA JESTY'S subjects ; and religious tests exclude another large portion. Mr. LYELL advises a royal commission which might recommend the removal of tests, and sug gests many other improvements, and concludes with the following protest against the exclusive system of the Universities, with which we shall at present take leave of the subject. " Before the Reformation their spirit was Catholic and na tional; since that period they have dwindled, not into theolo gical seminaries, for they have never in practice afforded a complete professional course for divinity students, but into places for educating the clergy of the Established Church, and the aristocratic portion of the laity professing the same form of Christianity.. Such a system, coupled with the abandonment of professional studies in general, tends to dissever throughout the country men of different callings, creeds, and professions. It has a demoralising influence. It separates, during the pe riod of youth, the nobility and gentry from the higher portion of the middle classes, the barrister from the attorney, the phy sician from the surgeon, the legislators and lawyers of England from t hose civilians to whom the government of eighty millions in India is to be consigned, the members of the Anglican Church from the Homanists of Stonyhurst or the Dissenters of Hackney. the civil engineers of Putney from the medical students of London. It disunites these and other sections of the same community, and throws them into antagonist masses, each keeping aloof from the other in cold and jealous se clusion, each cherishing sectarian party animosities, or professional and social prejudices. It is in the season of youth, and when men are engaged in the common pursuit of knowledge—especially if allowed as far as possible to follow the bent of their own tastes and genius—that friendships might easily be formed, to st , ften these hard outlines. At college they would be brought together on neutral, and usually on friendly ground, where kindly feelings and sympathies would spring up spontaneously, and would be cherished in after life, by congenial souls, however distant the station, er distinct the religious opinions or professional employments of their former fellow-students." Since the 12th things had quiet at Leipsic. The troops that had tired on the people bad been kept within their barracks—the communal guard had per formed the city duty, and had been well supported by the students. The funeral of the killed took place ou the 15th without disturbance. The following resume of events in that unfortunate city is given in the German Universal Gazette, under date of the 15J1 " Yesterday at five o'clock another meeting of burgesses and students took place. The reports of the events of the 12th and 13th were first read. The article of the semi-official Leipsic ..Gazette produced a great sensation, and it was resolved to protest against this tissue of falsehoods; but the definitive resolution was adjourned to Saturday. M. Bluin directed the attention of the meeting to what be regarded as the most essential point, vie , the interment of the victims. Deputa tions were sent to the municipal authorities, to ask for the town colours ; to the staff of the communal guard, inviting it to attend the ceremony; to the military staff, to remonstrate on the conduct of the troops during the day, and to ask them to conine them to their barracks the next day ; and to the railroad terminus, to receive the deputation returning from Dresden with the King's answer. The meeting next made a collection to defray the necessary expenses. The sitting was suspended for an hour. The measures of the committee re ceived the general approbation. The families of the victims determined to have but one funeral ceremony for all, with the exception of M. Mortmann, of whose body an autopsy was to be made, in consequence of his family having lodged an ac tion for his death. The deputation from Dresden entered the hall at half-past nine. It was supposed that the cortege would muster 20,000 men. The committee fulfilled their mission admirably. Everything passed over this morning at seven o'clock in the utmost order. At five o'clock this morning the Fletseher Platz was crowded with persons assembled to take part in the funeral ceremony. The procession began to move at seven. It consisted of the communal horse-guards ; a bat tallion of the communal foot-guards ; the students, in sections ; the band of the 4th battalion ; the flag of the university ; the Committee; the armourer's company; another band; the various deputations of the trades; an immense train of bur gesses and students, with flags, and a detachment of the com munal guards. The cortege proceeded along in the greatest silence, e xcept in passing the chateau, where cries and threats were uttered. Some disturbance had been feared here, but nothing took place. In the cemetery, the coffins were placed side by side in the same grave, and speeches were delivered over them. The crowd withdrew in the utmost order." Another letter of the same (late says:— " The deputation of the Municipal Council and the delegates of the city have returned from Dresden. The King, who re ceived them at noon, was affected to tears. His Majesty said that this event was one of the most cr ue l t r i a l s o f hi s lif e , an d that he was the more grieved that such an event should have occurred in Saxony, and particularly in Leipsic, as he and his family had always put up the most ardent prayers for the good of the country, without ever violating their duty. His Ma jesty added, that he was the more hurt as the address of the Municipal Council contained passages which seemed to indicate distrust." By a letter from Constantinople, of the 27th ult., we learn that accounts had been received there of the last operations of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian forces in the Caucasus, Count WORONZOFF, in which he states that he had obtained great and brilliant sucesses. The general opinion in Constantinople was that too much importance should not be attached to these first suc cesses of the Russians, as it forms part of the tactics of the Mountaineers to retire into the mountains on the ap proach of their enemy, in the hope of drawing him into difficulties and danger. News had also reached Constan tinople from Circassia. The population of the environs of Anapa had, at the instigation of SoLIMAN EFFENDI, one of the emis.,aries of Prince SCHAMIL, declared against Russia. These people have joined the troops of SOLIMAN EFFENDI, which are commanded by CARA BATYR, son of SEVER BEY, who is an exile at Adrianople. This army is said to have driven a Russian column from Tachowato. Several Beys of Circassian tribes, which had submitted to Russia, have gone over with all their followers to SCRAMIL, in the Dhagestan, and taken up arms. SCHAMIL continues to act in the north, and DANIEL BEY, Ex-Sultan of Jellikoi, in the south of Dhagestan. Both are provided with artillery. Scitemm is reported to have made an attack on the fortress of Amakchan, and DANIEL BEY upon the town of Tachok. In fine, however, it appears that no serious affair has yet taken place. Madrid papers of the 13th have been received. The restitution of the Church property to the secular clergy is the subject of comment in all of them. Toe Espanol publishes a letter from Paris, stating that M. Rossi had received instructions to support the negotia'ions of M. CASTILLO Y AYENSA with the Holy See. The cause of the dismissal of General CA.MINERO from the poat of Military Commandant of M.llaga, is stated to be his want of energy during the recant disturbances. We read in a letter from St. Sebastian of the 13th:— " The day before yesterday their Majesties went for an es cursion on the water. Their boat having got aground, and all the efforts niche sailors to goat her being Fruitless, ten or twelve peasants who were at work near the spot rushed into the water and succeeded in setting the boat free. Yesterday Queen Isa bella visited the regiment of Malloua, whieh is in garrison here. She was received with enthusiestn, and pardoned several sol diers who had been condemned for desertion. After the visit the Queen and her mother entered a magntticent tent, where they partook of a collation provided by the ()Seers. The bull figh:s commenced this day, and the Queen and the Infanta were present. Three bulls were killed," We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Coast tutionnel has a long and able article on the manner in vvliida the Jesuits are evading the law for their dispersion, and in some instances actually disobeying its provisions. After commenting on the manner in which the negotiations had been conducted by the Pontifical Government. it proceeds What is the result? First of all, can it he said that the law will be executed? The existing houses will be closed, `tit others will be opened ; the fathers will not live together in great numbers, but they will separate into a multitude of little communities ; they will continue to remain landowners in com mon, by transgressing the law; the body will not, therefore, be really dissolved, and therefore the law will not be complied with, but merely eluded. Thanks, however, to the manifes tation of the Chambers, and the apparent satisfaction which is given them, the scandal of illegality will have disappeared. Father Moire% will not again assume in a trial the title of father-procurator, and M. de Ravignan will not publish any more pamphlets to defy the laws and the courts of justice. But have the other effects, which might have been obtained from a well-conducted negotiation, been obtained? Has the Pontifical Government diminished, by the conduct which it has observed, the confidence of the bishops in the Jesuits? Will the fathers, transformed into auxiliary priests, exercise less influence on the ultramontane instruction of the great religious schools, or less despotism over the secondary clergy ? Will they not have, under the new disguise, more pretexts and facilities to elude the dispositions which prescribe to every professor in a religious school to declare that he does sot belong to any unauthorised religions community? Are not our ministers about to avail themselves of a false appear ance to exhibit more feebleness towards the clergy ? Has the Church really separated its cause from that of the society Has it net, on the contrary, confounded the two more together, by placing itself. in the whole affair, behind Father Roothan The Deputies, the electors, all w h o rea d an d thi n k i n France, are serious people, who know what they have determined on. We have not asked for persecution, but we have demanded from the Government sincere and efficient acts. Sincerely, then, has all that is now passing a character of frankness and truth ?" The visit of Queen VICTORIA to Germany is the sub ject of comment in many of these journals. They all attribute a political motive to it, but differ so among each other as to what that motive is that an impartial reader can only come to the conclusion that there is no political motive whatever in the visit, or, at least, that if there be one, these writers are profoundly ignorant of it. The Legitimatist organs see in it a great European con gress, from which revolutionary France is excluded, "in spite of the patronage of mercantile England,* to use the language of 1a France, while the Conmerce con sickrs that the object of the journey is " to conjure away the storm which threatens British commerce," should the Zollverein Congress, at Carlshrue, at the in stigation of the German southern states, increase the import duties on manufactured articles. We learn from Bordeaux, 16th inst , that his Royal Highness the Duke DE NEMOURS was much better, and that he and the DUCHESS would set out on the 18th for Mont-de-Marsan. Two grandees of Spain, who form part of the deputation appointed to accompany their Royal Highnesses from Bayonne to Pampeluna, arrived at Bordeaux on the 16th. The accounts from Eu are most satisfactory as regards the health of the KING of the FRENCH. The Bourse was 'very animated, and the Funds and Rail road Shares generally improved.

After the ceremony the Earl and Countess of Listowel gave an elegant dejeuner, in honour of the occasion, to a large party of the nobility. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of totst Night.) The sales of Cotton in Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bale= Prices were without alteration. There was a full choice. A limited business only was done in Shares, but the market was firmer. The Overland Mail brings intelligence of rather a heavy market for produce, the high rate of the exchanges produc ing this effect. Sugar had been quiet. In imports the busi ness done was under the usual average. The following gives an insight into the position of the United States trade at the latest date : The value of the exports from New York, for June, will not be very large. The following is a statement of the com merce of the port of New York for the week ending Satur day, July 19, 1845: Shipments in United States vessels 8246,508 33 Shipments in foreign vessels. 225,290 19 Shipments of ..... 61,054 00 Total Total for the first five days of July 346,680 40 Total for the week ending July 12 Total for 19 days in July, 1845 $-1,653,103 88 Seven British vessels cleared the last week, the total amount of exports in which did not exceed 20,000 dolls. There was exported in three Swedish vessels merchandise to the amount of 58,779 dolls. 27c. In one Hamburgh vessel, to the amount of 35,878 dolls. 95c. In one Sicilian vessel, to the amount of 35,355 dolls. The revenue from customs received at this port from the Ist to the 20th of July, was as annexed. REVEXUE FROM CUSTOMS—PORT OF NEW YORK.

The value of the imports for July, 1845, will be at least three millions of dollars less than fur the same month last year.

(From the Times.) We: have received by our extraordinary express dis patches from India in anticipation of the bi-monthly mail. The quietness of the Punjaub appears to be the qiiiet ness of death. The Seikhs no longer mete out death to each other, but disease sweeps them off by thousands. The cholera, i❑ its most malignant type, has been raging in Lahore and the neighbourhood, and it was calculated that the deaths averaged from 500 to 700 per day. At the date of the last accounts this dreadful disease was on the decline, after having carried off bet% een 20,000 and 30,000 victims. The last advices from Peshawur represent that city as almost deserted. Every one who had the means of re moving had left the city. The number of deaths in that place between the 30th of March and the 2d of May amounted to 4,825. In the midst of this direful affliction the state of par ties had not changed very materially. In our last we stated that Prince Pe.,hora Singh had taken possession of two or three provinces, the revenues of which he in tended to apply to his own use. It is now said, that the treasure sent towards Peshawur by the Sirdar, amount ing to nearly six lies of rupees, had also fallen into the hands of Peshora Singh, who had surprised the escort. The greater part of the troops, it is now said, are in favour of Peshora Singh, their good-will having been ob tained by the intrigues, or rather purchased by the gold, of Ghoolab Singh. The Raja Goolerwallah Singh, the father-in-law of the late Raja Heera Singh, who had been at Lahore for some time settling his account with the Sirdar, was sud denly attacked with cholera, and died shortly after. The Sirdar Jowahir Singh, having heard of his/ death, sent immediately to seize a horse and some other property that the Raja had disposed of in charity in his last moments. The Wuzeer Jowahir Singh is, in the mean time, becoming daily more unpopular, and it is said Peshora Singh aspires to the office of Wuzeer. Public attention has been much excited by the expo sure of certain alleged malpractices in the Supreme Court of Madras, where the Master, who is also the taxing-officer, has been, it is said, long in the practice of taking illegal fees, and allowing them to be charged by the attorneys. It is represented that in one ease where he had permitted the attorney to charge illegal fees to the amount of 1,600 rupees (1601. sterling), he had' charged for himself 3,000 rupees, or 300 L Not withstanding an able defence made by the Counsel on behalf of Mr. Minchin, the Master, the Court pro nounced him guilty of the charge, and deprived him of his office. In defence of Mr. Minchin, it is said that, at the request of Sir Robert Comyn, he resigned a lucrative practice at the Madras bar to become the Master of the Court, on the express understanding that the emoluments of the office averaged about 42,000 rupees per annum ; that these emoluments arose from a table of fees established in 1801, and partly from others sanctioned from time to time by the different Masters for business, but provided for by the table, and tacitly allowed by successive judges. No new fee, it is said, has been introduced for the last fourteen years, or by Mr. Minchi❑ during his period of office; and it is alleged that the Chief Justice, or his colleague for the time being, having affixed their signatures to several hundred bills of costs, containing all those fees which are now said to be illegal, and without which signature those fees could not be demanded. Mr. Minchin is ex pected to arrive by the present mail, in order to appeal, it is sai3, against the decision of the Madras judges. In Ceylon the cultivation of the tea plant had been commenced, and great expectations were entertained of the result of the experiments. According to other opi nions, although the tea plant will grow within the tropics, and maintain a flourishing appearance, the leaf is said to be totally destitute of flavour, and therefore useless. The important subject of railroads has not escaped discussion. The Calculi i Englishman contends that the London scheme for obtaining a Government guarantee of a certain amount of dividend to a company can be of no public advantage ; and that a line connecting Calcutta with the great markets and thoroughfare of the north west provinces is the sine that must be supported. We regret to add, that that dreadful scourge, the cholera, had reacheu the banks of the Sutlej and made its appearance at Ferozepore, though not in our canton ments. The mortality amongst the officers of the Madras army has been greater than any remembered for many years past. The Bombay cavalry have memorialised the Court of Directors on the subject of granting an additional captain, and we are happy to find that the memorial has been intrusted to Major-General Archibald Watson. An important order has also been issued by the Governor• General fur remedying the inconveniences resulting from the present mode of allowing young (:fficers to join their regiments. We are happy to find this subject has at length attracted the attention of Government. The steamer Precursor, with the mail to the 24th of May, anchored in Madras roads on the 28th of June, thus affording intelligence from England in the unusually short spaca of 35 days. The British frigates Thunderer and Conway had been dispatched from the Mauritius on the 7th of June to the island of Madagascar, to protect the European in habitants, who had been ordered by the Queen to become naturalized, or quit the country. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Englishman of July 2. ) Considerable dullness has been observable in business gene rally since our last issue of the 9th ult., but still in no single staple, either of import or export, have we any important change to notice as regards prices. The Government express of the mail, via Bombay, came in on the 191 h ult., and put us in receipt of London dates to the 7th of May. The accounts of the home markets for East India produce were again unfa vourable ; and, although the lowness of stocks still enables hol ders here in most instances to maintain former rates, there has been bit little anxiety shown to purchase, and transactions have been on a very moderate scale. The long looked-for improvement in the demand for im ports has not as yet been manifested in the slightest degree, although the rivers are now navigable, and produce is arriving freely ; this is probably caused by the attention of the dealers being still occupied with opium speculations, and by the large sums of money required fur that purpose, and, as the sum that will be required during the present month to effect the clear ance of that purchased on the 30th ult. is no less than 7,000,000 Company's rupees, we see no prospect of money being more abundant at present, although, from this being the last Govern ment sale of the season, it is probable the dealers may now re turn to their legitimate business. Exchange has again advanced about a farthing, but at this a large amount of operations have been effected, and first-rate paper is in reque.t. Our river is still %ell supplied with ship ping, and freight is procurable on about the same terms as at the date of our last. Indigo—Our late accounts from the interior are not so flou rishing as those previously received, particularly from the east ward ( Furreedpore Dacca, Mymunsingh), where they h ave experienced very heavy rain and a sudden rise of the rivers, which have done them a great deal of harm—in fact, so much so, as to reduce their prospects to two-thirds of what they pre. viously calculated on ; it. also appears that the rain has injured the plant considerably in Rungpore, as well as in Jessore and Rajeshaye, and should the weather experienced in Calcutta during the past two or three days have extended to those dis tricts, we shall doubtless shortly hear of further complaints. On the whole, however, we cannot say that the general accounts are very bad, as a few days of fine wea ther would counteract the damage done in many parts, and we are aware that rain was much wanted in others, as Nuddea, Maldah, Purneeh, and Bhaugulpore, where the manufacture is progressing splendidly: from Tirhoot our ac counts are rather favourable as compared with those of last month ; the western provinces are likewise promising well, pro vided the 7 have early rains, and we hope to hear in a few days of their havir.g regularly set in there ; in which case they will cut a splendid koontie, with a probability of a good nowdah. We, however, hear a very general complaint of the fine plant they are cutting not yielding so good produce as was looked for, and many parties will find their out-turn fall short of what they cal culated on from the quantity and general appearance of the crop ; this deficiency, however, is to be attributed more to the coolness of the nights than to the quality of the plant, and with fine weather will improve. It is still quite impossible to say anything about the quantity likely to be produced, as everything depends on the weather experienced throughout the manufacturing season, but we can confidently say that there is plant enough on the ground to yield a full average out-turn. Exports from the Ist of November, 1844, to the 30th of July, 1845: Chests. Fy. mds. To Great Britain 25,731 95,374 France 10,362 36,192 North America Red Sea, Bombay, and Gulfs 1,957 6,314 Foreign Europe All other parts 9 21 Total 38,707 140,172 Sugar—At the date of our last the low state of the rivers had only allowed of small parcels coming to hand, and these consisted principally of good to fine qualities, which found a ready sale; since then, however, arrivals have been more free, and, except for the vet) , finest descriptions, there has been but little demand ; so that, although we cannot as yet quote any material decline, the tendency is decidedly downwards. With low sugars the market is still very moderately supplied, and prices are almost nominal. For Khaur the inquiry has fallen off, and transactions have been very limited. Exports to Great Britain in June amounted to 150,378 maunds. Saltpetre—There is still a fair demand for this staple, and although there is not at present much doing for Great Britain. the scarcity of some descriptions and the demand for America keep up prices. For France we do not hear of any purchases, but small ship ments have gone forward to China. Exports in June were as follows, viz..---To Great Britain, 24,832 maunds ; to North America, 8,007 =ands. Raw Silk—This market continues very quiet, the large holders being still disinclined to submit to any decline, without which it is impossible that any general demand cAn be expe rienced, but as the unsold portion of the last bund is still very considerable, and the produce of the rainy bund will be coming to hand in about a month, we think considerable more anxiety to realise will shortly be manifested, in which case a material THIS EVENING Will be performed an entirely New Grand National Spectacle, em bracing the chief features of the heroic achievements of the British Arms in Northern India, called THE CONQUEST OF SCINDE ; or, The Siege of Hyderabad.

In the case of Mr.' Glans, formerly an " eminent bill-discounter and money broker"—in the parlance of the day, an " attorney and scrivener," pro:es sionally speaking—we observe that Mr. Commis sioner HOLROYD has refused the bankrupt his eel.- tifictee. To those who will not be at the trouble of reading the report of this judgment, the decision a his Honour may appear somewhat harsh. We confess, with pain, that we think it a most righteous and salutary decision. Without the slightest desire to bear hardly upon the unfortunate individual, who has been thus re fused an indulgence which the law rarely withholds from parties in his situation, we must say that Mr. GIBBS is but one representative of a class of bill and money dealers, the whole of whom it would be well for the in terests of society to see removed and absolutely shut out from any further pursuit of their calling. What can be expected by the victims who advance moneys for profitable investment to the custody or employment of a man le ho raises other moneys fur his own use, at the enormous arid most avaricious rate of 40, 50, and et) per cent. interest ? Mr. C mmissioner HOLROY D declined to enter into the consideration of the question, whether, in these days, when bankers and brokers are as plentiful as blackberries, there be a necessity for permitting the business of a scrivener (the ancient substitute for both the one and the other) to be any longer carried on. We are sorry that his Honour did not go into this question. If the "no necessity," which his observation thus glanced at, were once made out, on such authority, to the satisfaction of the Legislature, we should not have another session of Parliament pass by, without getting rid of a whole colony of legal vultures, who, at present, less honest or more prudent than Mr. GIBBS. raise fortunes for themselves on the ruined fortunes of other men—their clients or their customers. Every hour in the day one may see men reclining at their ease in their carriages, with unabashed and insolent effrontery, who have stepped into them only by means of the basest chicanery, and the mutt profligate turpitude which cunning bad men can commit, within the safe limits of the law. Every day the public journals teem with re ports of cases, in which improvident young men, the absolute possessors of property, or entitled to it in re version or expectancy, are feand to be irretrievably ruined by their unhappy connexions with discounting attorneys, or " accommodating" money brokers' agents. The exigencies of the moment, relieved by consenting to enormous and utterly unwarrantable sacrifices, is conti nued by a series of " accommodations" (as they are termed in bitter irony), extended through some months, or one, two, three years, as the case may be, but surely terminating in the permanent ruin of the deluded bor rower. He is tempted by the offers of a " discount"— he is played with, and his business is delayed until that which was but an inconvenience, more or less grave, be• comes an inexorable necessity. In proportion as his wants assume this formidable and imperative shape, the cost of relief, the amount of the sacrifices to be made, are carefully and cruelly enhanced. Thus he is led on till a knife may be said to be at last put into his hand wherewith he is compelled to cut the throat of his own fortunes, absolute or contingent, and not for his own re lief after all, but for the benefit of the callous usurers who have brought him to this moral suicide. Look at the case of the creditor of Germs, resident at Ostend. Whether designedly or inadvertently, we know not—but actually, it is evident, one of Mr. Geens's most unfortunate victims—his embarrassments have been extended, his anxieties accumulated, the penalties of his misfortunes trebled and quadrupled by a species of tor ment greater and more exquisite (we hope for the honour of the old Greek " Onytb.") than any which Great South. and West.

Bromley was returning to his house, the Brecknock Arms, Camden-town, he was thrown from his horse within 150 yards of his residence, to which he was con veyed, and expired in an hour and a quarter. It appears that his horse, which was a high spirited one, took fright at a gaslight which suddenly becomes visible at that point, and threw him on his head, by which his neck was dislocated. He give no signs of consciousness up to the moment of his death. A correspondent complains of the frequent incon venience to which he has been subjected by theloss of letters sent by the post, and which, in spite of the paraphernalia of printed forms, rules, regulations, &c., seems to be irreparable. Perhaps he goes too far in speaking of the misfortune as a common one ; but his remark that the practice of pre-payment offers a temptation to neglect on the part of the postmen is worth attention. Former y the postman paid for the letters as he took them from the office, and the only means of reimburs ing himself was by delivering them at their several addresses. Now, the letters being prepaid, this inducement to a punctual performance of duty ceases to exist, and the non• delivery of letters becomes more probable, though still, it must be con fessed, it is very rare.— Times. decline tippoari inevitable.
