All kinds moved off steadily, at, in most instune" , an advance in the quotations of is per quarter. Fine foreign Wheats realized the same amount "t improvement. with a good consumptive demand. ihrley, the supply of which was small, sold at Is per - quarter more ILI , y; whilst the value of Malt ruled steady Oats and Beaus realized higher rates; and the value cf all other articles • was well supported. Letters from New York to the 27th ult. state that very little was doing in Flour, at barely previous rates. In the near continental markets all articles are firm; . whilst higher rates have been generally demanded in the Baltic ports. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very small. From abroad we received 1 030 quarters ot Wheat, 370 Barley, 4,415 Oats, 1,305 . Tares, 500 Rapeseed, 37 Mustard Seed, 8 sundry seeds, 5,813 sacks, and 3,155 barrels o Flour. Coastwise from Essex the arrivals of Wheat fresh up to our market to-day were unusually small, but in ex cellent condition. From Kent, Suffunt, &c., they were very moderate. By land carriage the supply was be neath an average. The show of samples ot both red and white being very limited, the attendance of buyers, both town and country, en the increase, and the quantity of foreign less than for many we, Its past, the demand fur all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled active, at an ad vanes in the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of from is to 2s per quarter, at which amount of im provement a clearance was speedily .ff-cted. 'From the East the number of oilers was not large; yet an improved amount of business was transacted for for.; ward shipment on rather higher terms. The quantity of W heat on passage is very small. With fresh Foreign Wheat we were very scantily sup plied, whilst the quantity offering ex granary was by no means large. Selected qualities of both red and white sold freely, at is per quarter mire money. In the. Middling and inferior kinds an improved amount of business was transacted, at extreme quotations. Several offers from Dantzic and elsewhere to ship wheats during this and the following mouth were closed. Floating cargoes were held fur mire money. No English Barley was on offer, and the show of Fo . reign was extremely small. That article moved off koely, at a rise in the currencies of fully is per quarter. --- Malt, the supply of which was moderately good, sold • at prices about equal to those paid on this day se'nnight. The supply of 04:8 being trifling, the Oat trade ruled active at a rise in the ,quotations of quite is per quarter. We had more inquiry for Beans, the value of which improved Is per quarter. Peas were fully is per quarter dearer, with a good consumptive demand. Indien Corn afhat was held at 61 to is per 480Ibs more money.

As the dead markets were well cleared of their lust week's supplies, and as the attendance of buyers was on the increase, the Beef trade ruled steady, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Monday last. A few prime Scots realized 3s 8d; but the more general top figure for Beet was 3s 6d per 81bs, at which a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,200 Scots, Shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 250 horned and polled Scots. The number of Sheep exhibited a slight tailing off. All breeds commandei a steady, though not to say brisk, inquiry, and last week's quotations were well supported. A few very superior old Downs sold at 4s per 81bs. Lambs, the supply of which was good, moved off steadily, and late rates were fairly supported. The extreme figure for Down quali ties was 5s 6d per B;bs. From the Isle of Wight 200 came fresh to band. We had a fair sale for Calves at unaltered quotations. In Pigs, next to nothing was doing.

SPORTING NOTES. No. LXIV. II AMP FON MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN SIR,—So far as the attemisnee Is concerned, ibis "meet" on the banks ..f the Thames may be set down as a second Epsom; it boasts a couple of days' compound of racing, donkey-riding, " three-throws-a penny" etick throwing, " f,rty-and-the-bull's-eye" nut speculating, and nume rous other amusing capers, which the multitude pratonize as being highly delectable. Iltwever, I must turn to the racing depat tment of this odd medley. On Wednesday six stakes figure on the list for decision, including the principal one, the Surrey and Middlesex, which, out cf forty-three nominations and fourteen acceptances, will probably have about eight starters, 'the beat moiety of whom, I take it, will con,ist of Gladiola, 4 yrs, 7st; Ab dallab, 4 yrs, 6st 81b; Guardsman, 3 yrs, 6st; and Don Pedro, 3 yrs, sst 71b. GLADIOLE for choice. The Clare mont Stakes, half a mile, look destined for the owners of URBANITY or FREEDOM; Lady Blanche running for ward. The South-Western Railway Plate, one mile, may be set down as a certainty for The Moor or Ley bout no. With the exception of the Corinthian, the other stakes, numbering seven, have yet to close and name. A deficiency in one or two material points of information compells me to adjourn my remarks on the Derby of 1852 until Wednesday. Betting very languid this morning, little or nothing doing.

SlR,—With reference to the comments in the report of Ascot Races published in your impartial columns— and which comments have been repeated with increased scurrility in Bell's Life to-day—relative to the non starting of Russborough for the Emperor's Cup at Ascot, I beg leave, in my own defence, to say that imme diately upon landing in England on Monday last, and finding the commission I had given to back Russborough not executed, I went to Tattersall s, and publicly de clared that I should not start my horse for the Em peror's Cup unless I could get a stake on him, and ad vised my friends to refrain from backing the horse until he came to the post, when they might back him for any sum they pleased, as the horse was fit and well. Sub sequently I had two applications to purchase the horse; one party I declined to treat with; but when applied to from the Earl of Eglinton I - was immediately ready to come to terms, knowing that if his Lordship bought the horse he would run upon his merits. On Wednesday evening last Mr. Fobert, his Lord ship's trainer, saw Russborough in the stable, and offered me two thousand for him ; that offer I then de clined to accept, Mr. Fobert and I agreeing to wait until one o'clock on the ensuing day to meet his Lordship, to make a final arrangement as to the purchase. I was on the ground at half-past twelve, and waited till Mr. Fobert met me at one o'clock, and said it was too late, and on the part of Lord Eglinton declined to purchase Russborough. I have only to add, that I stated throughout that I would never run the horse merely for the purpose of winning a piece of plate which was of no use to me, and that as to the betting, I never heard the horse's name mentioned in the " ring" on the course, on eittur day of the races previously to the Cup being run for. I am, Sir, &c., London, June 7, 1851. M. MANGAN. THE LATE 11 ARWICH ELECTION.—The second election for the borough of .Harwich, it appears. is not to pass by undisputed, for on Piliday evening aktetition against the return of Mr. Crawford was presented to the House of Commons. The document alleges as the foundation for the petition, that the poll was closed on the day of voting before four o'clock prematurely and unlawfully by the returning officer, without any sufficient excuse for or notics of such closing; that a number of voters were then waiting to vote for Mr. Henry Roby Prinsep, but were prevented from so doing by the premature closing of the poll ; that the pro ceedings at the said election were, before the closing of the pull, interrupte I and obstructed by open violence, that many persons not properly qualified had voted for Mr. Robert Wigram Crawford, end that their votes ought to be struck off; that divets persons had voted for Mr. Crawford, who had a..ked, raised, and taken money or other reward, and were, therefore, disqualified; that the agents of Mr. Craw ford had been guilty of bribery, treating, intimidation, and other unlawful acts and practices in order to procure votes, and that the votes of properly qualified persons had been re fused for Mr. Prinsep; th-tt, under all these circumstances, the election of Mr. Crawford ought to ba held null and void. —Sunday Paper. Tiger, a new steamer of 400-horse power, navi gated to this port from Woolwich some time ago and now lying in the old basin, got up her steam on Tuesday to try her engines. She is a fine capacious vessel, but as we have before stated, has the Siion's propensity to list over; indeed a short time after her arrival, the coal being unequally di vided in her bunkers, there was said to be much danger at one time of her falling right over. In consequence of this she has received extensive alterations, her coal bunkers, which came up on each side to the under part of her weather deck, have been lowered, and her main-deck made flush fore and aft ; two portholes have been cut about the midship part of the main deck, and two heavy guns will be removed to these ports from her weather deck, whereby her top weight will be decreased. She is rigged and will be tried at Spit head shortly.—Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette.

Income. Number cf Pro posals made to the Company from the 29th May, i 8 ,to the 29tu May, 18. A. 770 £191,054 6 0 £3,457 8 4 Poi iciea issued 619 142,094 8 0 2,526 5 8 Proposals declined 74 22,424 19 0 397 4 1 Proposals accepted not yet paid Proposals under consideration 54 20,234 19 0 424 19 8 770 £ 191,054 6 0 £3,457 8 4 "By the above statement, it would be seen, that, con. sidering the !3ge of the company, an unusually large amount of buiin?ss: Ia i bee n offered to the cimpany during the last year, and a very large proportion of it has been transacted. The number of policies actually completed and issued during the past year, would be seen to amount to six hundred and nineteen. Compared 11,d not issued more policies, although the amount of with the number issued by many:much older offiees,it will be found that offices with incomes of 100,0001. per annum each policy would of conrse be considerably larger. "By the aecounts and statements laid before the share holders at the last meeting, it appeared that— bro. Aggregate Amount. Annual Income. The number of pro posals made to the company during the year was ... 391 ... £133,517 £2,218 5 4 Policies issued 217 83,222 1,180 11 7 It would be seen therefore, that the total number of proposals made to the company dur ing the two years the company has been in operation, amounts to .. 1,161 £324,571 6 £5,675 13 8 It would be seen that the total num ber of policies issued and com pleted during the two years amounts to ... 836 ... £225,316 £3,70617 3 " The income of the company was therefore more than three times the amount it was last year; whilst the number of policies issued had also increased in the same proportion: thus show tog the encouraging progress of the institution. The directors continued to exercise the same caution in relation to the business they accept, in proof of which they pointed to the large sum of 22,4241., appearing this year under the head of declined business. In further corroboration of the system of caution used in the se lection of risks, the directors drew the attention of the shareholders to the circumstance that no loss bad been sustained in the guarantee depart ment since the commencement of the company's business; whilst in the life assurance depart ment they had but one loss amounting to 501. The cir cumstances relating to the above loss of 501. were of rather singular character, and forcibly exhibited the ben. fits of life assurances. A Mr. --, of Devonport, applied through the agent of this company, a highly-respectable silversmith of that place, for an assurance of 5001.; the proposal was forwarded to the office, but Mr. -- having subsequently changed his mind, altered the proposal to 100 L; the proposal was accepted by the board, and on the ageutinforming him thereof, the party proposing again re ouced the amount to 501., and paid the premium thereon. Within a few months, however, .of the payment of the premium, he died, and his widow received 501. instead of 500/., thus losing the benefit so nearly obtained. The estAlistiment of important local agencies had re ceived the best attention of the directors; a highly influential local committee bad been formed at Men et,est, r, and another was in the course of formation at Liverpool. In addition to the gentlemen whose nem. s appt ar unkler_the head. of Manchester. Lucal Com mittee, a great many of the I. ading manufacturers of the districts about Manchester had promised their as sistance in carrying out the system of guarantee esta blished by this office. The directors also congratulated the shareholders on the position taken by the company in the commercial world, evidenced by the circumstance of so many of the leading lines of railway and other cor porate booies ani firms accepting the guarantee of this company for persons is their employment. A fire com pany—independent of; but having the support, of this company—was in the course of formation, the amount of capital required by the Act of Parliament having been subscribed, and the deed of settlement having been laid before the registrar. Arrengementa bad been made with the directors of the fire company as would have the effect of materially reducing the annual xpendi _ cure of this company; whilst the new con nexion and influence thus introduced to the life and guarantee company coutd not fail to ho productive of the most benefice' results. The directors continued to receive applications for the remaining shares of the company, and expected that by the next annual meeting those remaining would have been dis posed of. The directors recommended that interest at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum should be paid upon the subscribed capital. The current expenses would, in future, be lessened by the absence of those items, which properly belong to preliminary expenses and the payments to be made by the fire company. The appli cation of mutuality to guarantee, first introduced by this company, and the union of life assurance with guarantee—eon) principles which, the directors felt, must within a very short period, place this company in a commanding position; for by thus making the gua rantee premiums an investment instead of a tax, and by teaching habits of prudence and forethought, the highest inducements were offered to honesty and a faithful dis charge of duty. Negotiations were pending with insti tutions and corporations, with a view to the extension of the guarantee department, which promised the most satisfactory termination." The CHAIRMAN said it now became his duty to move that the report and balance-sheet be received and adopted, and, in doing so, he would take that opportu nity of adverting very briefly to one or two facts which deserved the attention of the meeting. The steady and satisfactory progress which they had made since the establishment of the company enabled him to con gratulate them on the present position of their affairs. In the first year of the company's existence, end May, 1850, they bad 391 proposals; from May, 1850 in , to May, 1851, the number of proposals mad e was 770, showing an increase of 379 proposals. T he p olicies issued during the first year were 217, the g aggregate amount assured being 83,2221., and, the annual income derived from these policies 1,180/ 1 is. 7d.; whereas from the 29th of May, 1850, to the 29th of May, 1851. they issued 619 policies, the amount assured being 142,094/. Bs., and the annual in come received upon them 2,5261. ss. Bd,' s howing a considerable increase between th e first and the second year, and giving a total income of 3,7061. 10s. Od. The directors had endeavoured to carry on the busi ness of the cow; ny at the smallest possible outlay, and he was inclined to think that the amount expended in the management during the year was far too small. Of course the results which they had achieved this year had given rise to increased expense, but that was rather consolatory than otherwise; and he only hoped that next y ear would be as favourable as the past in point of the amount of business transacted.—(llear.) A very im portant part of the company's operations during the past year had been the establishment of a local agency and committee in the large commercial district of Man chester, from which at present they derived an income from policies of about 400/. per annum. Their ind. - fatigable secretary had visited the district, and bad re ported that with the local influence they had ob tained a large amount of business might be expected from Manchester and its neighbourhood. Lace! agen cies were else being formed in other large commer cial towns. To show that the company was extending its operations very widely, and was therefore beginning to be fully appreciated by the public, he might mention that they had been applied to, and consented to become g uarantee gentleman t mharne branch h o h e a t d New een Zealand.appointe d Theto a situation ef fora tres t preliminary expenses of the company were not very large, but the directors had wisely scattered them over two years, inst.( ad of discharging them in one year, but when that time expired there would.be a permanent in create in the revenue, and the shareholders would conse quently be benefited to that extent. Since the last meeting they had lost two directors, Mr. Bidwood, who was deceased, end Mr. Brown , who had retired from tin board. The directors had not filled up the vacancies, and this was another instance, though the remuneration of the directors was very trifling, that the directors were anxious to conserve as far as possible the funds of the association, and prevent any expendis taro which could fairly be saved.—(Loud cheers.) In addition to the agency at Manchester, they had opened one at Ilitaiburgh, and the business of which was steadily increasing. Most other assurance companies who had established agencies on the continent had incurred in almost all instances a very large outlay, but the cost of this agency did not, he believed, amount to more than 10 per cent. on the business which was brought to the office. In fact, in every quarter they were making very steuly progress, and he need scarcely say they were very much indebted to the officers for their indefatigable exertions, and to the directors for the careful and active supervision which they had exercised over the' affairs of the institu tion, which, he was confident, would ere long become one of the most flourishing in the metropolis.—(Cheers.) The Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. EVENING. MONDAY The resolution that the report be approved of and. ado;.tcd was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. LATHAM proposed the next resolution, " That G. Cooper, Janie s Rid, EN., Alexamitrcr Vs efibtr, E.q , and tbe Rev. J. Wood, ihe retiring director:, be re elected." From his personal knowledge of the gentle runn be had great pleasure in moving the resolution, be cause he felt convinced that their services would be be neficial to the institution. lair. WAGSTAFF seconded the resolution, which was curried unanimously. Mr. BAKER - m)o, proposed the re-election of the audi tors, W. A. Kent, Esq., Daniel Frail, Esq , and H. U. Rye, EN. Lie had every reason to think that they bad taken every possible pains to discharge their duty effi ciently, and -to investigate the accounts satitfactorily., Mr. ALEXANDER WEDBXR, one of the directors, se conded the resolution. He could assure the meeting that they had shown every anxiety to discharge their duty, even at some slight inconvenience to the eirectors, taking four entire days going through every account and checking ()IT every item in the books. He I.hou4ht therefore, when they mound they had auditors of that description, they 'ought to feel happy in Posse's' ing oo salutary a cheek. It would be impossible tor , them to have more efficient auditdrs than the gentle men whose re-election he now proposed.—(Near.) The resolution was ,then put, and carried una nimously. 7.1:r. LATHAM proposed the next resolution, which was that ii.tere,t at the rate of five per cent. be paid upon the capital subscribed. He was one, he swing, who paid some slight attention to the works of nature, and he was proud to find the great globe itself represented among them; and he liked to sec, too, in the operations of a society something like obteivanee.. of the ways of nature, and it gave him greet pleasure to see men pro viding in the prime of life fur the period when their strength would decay, and life itself fail. If men could not prolong their lives they should at least be ready to do something for the time when their life came to an end. Without making any allusion to higher and holier ebjeets, he thought provision from life asurances was the greatest wisdom in a wordly sense of view which a man could show. With regard to the guarantee portion of the society, he conceived that it was of the utmost im portance, because there were many persons having young protegees whom they wished to start in life, but were unwilling to become their personal guarantee them helves, and it was on such an occasion as this that the company step.ed in with most peculiar propriety. He thought that the society had reason to congratulate itself on the good fortune which bad attended it. Since the commencement of the company only one death had occurred, which had been referred to in the report, and be thought, as far as the family of the deceased were concerned, it was to be re gretted that the sum was not larger; yet, for the com pany's interest, it was a matter of congratulation that the sum was not more than 501. Last year they had thought it sufficient to hope that they might be able to do as much business during the ensuing year as they had done in that which had then elapsed; but now, at the close cf the year, they could congratulate themselves on having done twice as much new business and increasing the annual income altogether three times as much. Altogether 619 new policies had been issued, and this he thought was most encouraging. A short time ago a gentleman connected with one of the oldest offices existing had told him that for an office to go on steadily contracting two new policies each week would render it certain of success, but they now found that this office had an average of twelve per week throughout the year. He hoped the time would soon come when they should be able to cease paying this divi dend by paying off the shareholders. In conclusion, he might say, though "it was not in mortals to command success." they mad done this—had tried to deserve,it. Mr. HAYMAN -seconded the resolution. , Mr. D. PRATT moved that a s u m o f 1341. 159. ue voted for the whole expense of the direction during the past year. Ho trusted that in succeeding years thoy would have the pleasure of voting the directors a much larger sum. He considered this was only a small in stalment of what the directors deserved, for in other offices with which he was connected, he found the share holders at their annual meetings had great pleasure in trebling the amount which the directors asked for.— (Hear, and a laugh.) Now, he should= like to nee this office voting 5004 instead of 1341—(A laugh.) He was Persuaded • the directors had attended effi ciently and thoroughly to their duties during the past year, and he was much gratified at seeing the success which bad attended their efforts, as exempli fied in the progress the society bad made.— (Hear, hear.) As one of the auditors, he could beartestimony to the able manner in which the accounts had been kept. He had thoroughly examined every voucher, and having gone over the books, he was prepared to say that the balance-sheet was a bond fide statement of the position of their affairs.—(Hear, bear.) Mr. WAGSTAFF seconded the resolution, which was put to the vote and carried unanimously. Mr. GEORGE moved a cordial vote of thanks to the directors fur their past services. The Rev. Mr. Manconee was satisfied with the manner in which the directors had done their duty, and therefore he begged to second the resolution. The resolution, like the other, was put and carried unanimously. Mr. Liewann had much pleasure in moving that the thauke of the meeting be presented to Mr. Sheridan, the manager, and the other officers of the company, for the efficient services, which they, had rendered to the socjet v. However t fficieet the directore might be, after all the duty of carrying their plans into effect rested with the manager. The directors might coucceive; but the manager must devise; the directors might dt cide, but the manager must carry out.—(bear, hear.) The more he siw of Mr. Sheridan the more confidence he had in When he was first introduced to Mr. Sheridan that gentleman was a perfect stranger to him, but from what he bud subsequently seen of his energy and exertions on b e h a lf of the society, he was convinced they could not find a more indefatigable manager if'they were to search the world over.—(Hear, hear.) . Mr. WEBBER seconded the resolution, and in doing so he said it was unnecessary for hits to detain the meet ing with any lengthened observations, because the results of the past year must satisfy the proprietors that Mr. Sheridan and the other officers had been faithful and zaalous in the discharge of their several duties.—(Hear.) The resolution was put from the chair and carried unanimously. Mr. SHERIDAN returned thanks on behalf of himself and his colleagues. He was fully aware that this reso lution was not to be taken as a ntere compliment, but it was also intended to convey the feeling of satisfaction which the meeting felt upon the manner in whistle the Easiness of the office bad been managed, and in which he and his colleagues had fulfilled their duties during the year which had just ended. For that expression of their good opinion he begged leave to thank them most heartily, but betore be sat down he wished to make one more re mark—he wished to draw the attention of the meeting to paragraph in the report, which , he believed to be im portant, and one which had an important bearing upon the interest of the company.—(Heat, hear.) Not that the other paragraphs in the report 'were not equally as important, but this one, to which.. he wished to direct attention more immediately, concerned the proceedings cut of doors by the sharehulders.--(Hear.) The parts : graph was this:— ~ ‘: The directors beg to urge upon the shareholders, the importance of their individual exertions on behalf of the company—us so much can be none in this way to pro mote the prosperity of the institution; indeed, so many pet sons are now requiring the assistance of public gua rantee, and so highly ester mad aro the peculiar advan tages offered by this office, that the directors feel it is of the utmost importance that the shareholders should in struct their friends on the subject, ; an d keep the objects of the institution constantly beterelLtem." It was not meant by this that they should impose an irksome duty upon the shareholders, but it was simply put into the report to urge upon these t h e expediency or recommending the guarantee or life assurance principles of this office whenever any of their friends required to transact business in either of these departceents.—(Hear, hear.) The importance of individual exertion in that way could not be too much overrated, fur on looking ever the lite policies of the Register Offi ce , he found that not one polit:) , had come to the (n ee accidentally.— (Hear, hear.) They had come through the introduction of friends, end tram personal exertion; and since busi ness did not come to an office uninvited, until it had become as old as " The Sun" or " The Globe," the neces sity of these individual recommendettons should be con stantly impressed upon the minds of their shareholders. Mr. Beaatt moved, and Mr. SEARS seconded, a vote of thanks to the auditors, which was carried unanimously, and briefly acknowledged by one of these efficers. Mr. LATHAM moved, and Mr. EAWARDS seconded, a similar vote of thanks to the medical officers, whose exertions he warmly eulogised; and mentioned, as an iestance of their vigilance to secure the prosperity of the office, that when, ha .came to insure his life they charged 10 per cent. upon his rates, The motion having bean secondal, was unanimously carried. Dr. Conx returned thanks, and promised not to relax in his exertions to promote the prosperity of the company, Mr. litsHoP also returned thenke,and observed they had been careful from the commencement of the company to le commend to the directors only those select lives which were likely to be most conducive to the interests of the institution, and they had more regard to the nature thau the quantity of business which the office transacted. That they bad not riCgleettd their duty was proved by the feet, that they had; only lost one life during the whole time the compati'had been been in existence, notwithstanding they had more than 800 lives assured.—(Hear, hear.) The Rev. I. GEORGE then said tbathebore testimony to the will, industry, arid talent with which the directors had discharged their onerous duties, and expressed his thanks as a shareholder to them for the material reduction they hud made in the annual expenditure of the company. There could be no doubt that thex deserved the best aeltnowledgnients of the meeting, but if the soldiers were entitled to thanks for the services they had ren dered, surely the general ought to receive some murk of esteem and regurd,-(Hear, hear.) He hid, there fore, great pleasure in proposing that the, jaest thanks of the recede.' should be given to Mr. Wald, their able leader, for the very efficient and able manner in which he had fent, d the duties of his ugiCe.—(Cheese.) Mr. RoneNsex seconded the motitin; and loped they weuhl long continue to have the benefit of his services. The motion etas put and carried With great unanimity. The CHAIRMAN, in resuming thanks, said no one could feel greater gratificeitieu than h e did et th e success of the company. During the past year he had not been so attentive to his duties as he ought to have been, having been engaged in a private undertaking which occupied a considet able portion of his time, but when that was accomplished he would again resume his &icier, as he had heretofore dune, e ith a coefideut hope that they would achieve still further and greater sue cosss.—(Clicers.) The meeting then separated. JUNE THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Saturday hnr i j:-sty, Prince Albert, and a dis tinguished party of nobility sinived .3L•3:.•:31 lace snon after nine, and passed through the western roireshuient room, attended by Mr. D,lke, M. Cole, Mr. Fox, Colonel Reid, Mr. Cubist, Mr. flelsh)w, and Mr. liensinsn, to the machinery in motion, in which they took great interest, examining almost everything of im portance during a period of upwards of two hours, after which they again entered the room and were received by Mr. Welch, of the firm of Schvreppe and Co., and Mr. Masters, the contractors for supplying the public with refreahments. Her Mujesty and the whole party par took of refreshments and seemed much interested and gratified at seeing Mr. Masters produce ice in one minute in their presence by his patented machinery, and also making largo cylinders of ice from spring water, into which fruit and leaves were imbedded, forming a beautiful as %ell useful ornament to the dining table. The royal party were mush astonished at seeing ice made by steam power; no less than 100 quarts of dif ferent dessert ices being produced in about twenty minutes. GROSS RECEIPTS AND LIABILITIES.

ALBAN'S ELECTION.—THE MISSING WIT NESSES —The hiding-place of the witnesses in the St. Al ban's case, for whose apprehension the Government stme time since proclaimed a reward of 501. each, has been disco vered. Inspector Beckerson, of the A division of the metro politan police, in. whose bands the matter was placed, has traced three of the missing parties to Boulogne, where he found them living at their ease, and evidently well supplied with funds and every other comfort. The officer was natu rally not a litte pleased when he found himself upon the right track, anti having introduced himself, he suggested to the delinquents the necessity of their return to their native To this, however, the parties, having shore in his company. a wholesome fear of the Usher of the Black hod, demurred, and on an appe'sl to tba French authorities, it was intimated to Mr. Beckeri on that if he persisted in apprehending the men they world be reclaimed from his custody and set at liberty. 17 eder these circumstances the inspector wisely returned to report progress at head-quarters, and thus the inntter at present stands. The gentleman who " pays the piper" for these rustic emigrants is certainly not to be envied. ItEPRES ENTATION OF BATH.—W.

STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. The following Resolutions were reported from the above Committee :- 1. That in:the case of the St. Andrew's and Quebec Rail way, petition for leave to deposit a petition for a Bill, the standing orders ought to be dispensed with :—That the parties be permitted to deposit their petition accordingly. 2. That in the case of the Cameron's Coalbrook Steam Coal and Swansea and Loughor Railway (So. 2) petition, the standing orders ought to be dispensed with: —That the parties be permitted to proceed with their Bill, provided the same be presented not later than three clear sitting days after the presentation of this report. Resolutions agreed to. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. (EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 4th, the anti educational spirit obtained an unexpected victory on the ques tion of the second reading of a School Establishment (Scotland) Bill, which was carried in the negative by 137 votes against 124. The remarkable circumstance was, that the victorious side bad never read the Bill ; for it passed all bounds of probability, that under any other supposition venturous men could have been found to hazard such entire misstatements of their case. If their statement were to be received, the Bill might have been expected to declare, that inasmuch as it is desirable to prohibit by law the teaching of any reli gion, be it enacted &c., that from the passing of this Act it shall be lawful only .to give instruction on secular matters throughout the portion of the Queen's dominions called Scotland. Instead of v‘hich, there was not a word in the Bill touching instruction being either secular or the contrary, hut simply a proposal to take the direction of schools in Scotland out of the hands of the clergy of one of the three sects into which the country is pretty equally divided, and give it into the hands of all the sects and of the ratepayers in general. The principle maintained therefore amounts to this : That there shall be no education in any country where it can be hindered, except what is administered by the priesthood, and by the priesthood of that peculiar sect or segment which from one cause or other has got possession of the public property assigned for religi ous purposes. It may be the religion of one-third, as in the actual case in Scotland ; but education must be theirs and nobody else's, or at ell events nobody else must share in the fund assigned. The locality signifies little, so the principle be maintained; and the House had consequently lamentations over the degree in which the success of revolutionary principles had taken the education of France out of the hands of the Gallican Church. A most Catholic spirit clearly exists upon the question; and so that there is an established priesthood, and the youth of a country are educated by it, it matters little what priesthood, all establishments being equally good for the common purpose. As it fortunately happens that the suffrage in Scotland is not limited to one sect of three, there are indications of the way in which remedy will come. And in the mean time the debate which has taken place cannot fail to work its effects. On Thursday was a debate on what some of the newspapers call the great Chicory question ; consisting in desiring to know, whether the public has a right to mix chicory with its coffee, provided it likes it better. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is counsel for the defence, and maintains stoutly that the public shall take its choice. But the far-seeing gentlemen who have plantations in Ceylon, perceive a right they have to control both the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the public. They were not far from having their way on Thursday ; the liberty of the coffee-pot being only maintained by 94 against 89. The world has always been governed by sounding words. " Adulteration" is one of these ; though nothing be adulterated but by the purchaser's parti cular desire. A goodly portrait that was presented to the House, of your West Riding o peratives going to the shop for ground coffee at two•thirds of the price at which coffee is sold there in the bean, and coming away with a suspicion in their minds that it was not all coffee they chose to ask for) On Friday were further evidences of the design to get rid of the Com mittee on the Income-tax; and the appointment of it was postponed till after Whitsuntide. Much ludicrous matter was uttered about the import. ance of forming a Committee whose decision should be satisfactory to the public. As if the decision of a ny Committee would be satisfactory to anybody, ex cept as it was the means of bringing out the various opinions and interests concerned. Of one interest, be sure that no representation will be found; a n d that is, the interest of the Working Classes. But h ow shouldknow they it be otherwise, when they hardly have an interest, and of course nobody elseeis bound to recognize it? On the same night the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill in Committee dragged itself through t wo or threenega nega tived Amendments. Sir Henry Wille mo tion for extending the provisions o f th e Bill by the insertion of the words, "or if any person after the passing of this Act shall obt a i n or cause to be pro cured from the said Bishop or See of Rome, or shall publish or put in use within any part of the United Kingdom, any Bull, Brief, Rescript, Letters Aposto lical, or any other instrument or writing for the pur pose of creating any Archbishop or Bishop named from any r - :ovince or See, or with Titles derived from places within the United Kingdom," eras only nega tived by 133 against 129. Whereupon the opinion seems to be that the Lords will insert it. The House at its rising stood adjourned till Thurs. day the 12th. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD EEFORMER.

GRANT'S COOKING AND DISTILLING GALLEY.— We are most happy to say that our former opinions and encomiums respecting this most useful and clever invention are most tulle corroborated by the very satis fatery reports that continue to he received from the dill-rent vesseli iu which it bas been placed on board.

We are glad to hear that preparations are now being made for the manufacture of these most ne cessary articles on a large scale, at bah Portsmouth and Woolwich, for th e p ur p ose o f t h eir being suppliel Ito all men-of-war.—Herald. Captain Johnson, of the Compass Department at the Admiralty, has been ordered to select a compass a s Weolwieh for the purpose of placing it among other nautical instruments at the Great Exhibition. Mr. John Bull, an old Falmouth Post-office packet commander, died on the 2d instant, near Falmouth, a ge d 80. Captain Bull was repeatedly distinguished for skill and gallantry in action, boating off enemy's vessels of superior force; and particularly on one painful occasion, when being attacked in the night by his Majesty's brig Primrose, of 16 guns (32 -pounders), he, in his little brig with ten 12-pounders, beat her off with severe loss. Captain Bull brought over to England from America the late King of the French, Louis Philippe. THE SOVEREIG N F REIGHT S HIP MISSING.—Great are entertain e d f or the sa f ety of the Sovereign freight-ship, which l e f t H a lif ax on 4t h M arc h for Liver pool, since which no intelligence has been received of her. Lieutenant Taylor, of her Majesty's ship Welles ley, and Mr. Henry Fisher, 38th li eg imerst, son of Com mander John Fisher, R.N., are passengers. Brisk, newly launched :crow-sloop, is one of four of her class, which consist of the Archer and Wasp in com mission, Miranda having her engines fitted in the Clyde, and Brisk. Her armament will bo 14 guns — name ly, two 68-pounders, 87 cwt. , 9 ft. 6 in. long, on pivot slides and carriages, andewelve 32- pounders ,32 own, 6 ft. 6 in. long, on Sir T. Hardy's slides and carriages. H er complement will be 150 officers and men. The nominal power of her engines will be 250 horses. We are now getting as great a confusion of classes of screw as of paddle-wheel sloops. Devastation steam-sloop, Commander C. Y. Cam pbell, was paid advances at Spithead on Friday, under the superintendence of the acting superintendent, end was to have sailed on Saturday for Plymouth, en route to the West Indies, but tho strong westerly winds pre vented her. She remained at Spithead last night, waiting for a lull to get away. Herald surveying•ship, Captain Kellett, C. 8., passed through the Downs on Saturday, from Portsmouth, on her way to Chatham, to be paid off. She is doubtless at Sheernees to-day, and Will be irespeced there. Nautilus, Lieut.-Commander Dotting, returned to her anchorage between the island and the main on Friday afternoon, from a cruise in the Channel for the exercise of the naval apprentices.

The Nile, a splendid frigate-built ship, for Madras and Calcutta, which arrived at Spithead on Thursday, is awaiting moderate weather to proceed on her voyage. A ship, laden with teak-wood from Moulmein for the dockyard, arrived at Spithead this morning. DEVONPORT, FRIDAY.—The Merapi, Dutch steamer. having completed coaling, hauled off from the pier at Millbey this morning, and will sail on the return of her officers on leave on Sunday. DEVONPORT DOCKYARD AND THE GREAT TION.—The artisans and others employed in this eats blistanent have memorialised the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for an additional ton days' leave of ab sence at their own cost, to enable them to visit the Great Exhibition. Of : the four days granted by Admi ralty order to the men employed in all the naval arsenals two would be expended by those from Devenpert in the journey to and from London. The request is, therefore, so reasonable that there can be no deem of their Lord concession, if the requirements of the public ser vice will permit it. Poerrsetoterie, SUNDAY.--The Porcupine stean2-vefrael, Lieutenant-Commander Bacon, tallied yesterday from tile Mediterranean, and came into harbour_ Lady Kerr, wife of Lord FrederiekKerr, of the Scourge steam-sloop, carne home passenger in her.
