Since its return from Tunis the squadron has been cruising off the island, the ships being detached two by two to enter the harbour, and complete water prior to a more extended cruise, for which the Admiral left yester day morning. The probable destination of the squadron is guessed at by many (Gulf of Spezia is mentioned), but nothing is positively known. The Admiral's object in getting away from Malta is more to preserve the health of the men during the hot weather than any po litical motive. At Tunis the Admiral was well received by his High ness the Bey, who saluted him on landing with 17 guns, and presented the squadron with bread, sheep, vegeta bles, fruits of all kinds, vermicelli, macaroni, soiree, sugar, oil, and candles (made of beet' wax), fowls, ducks, and geese. 50 bullocks, as well as wines and spirits, wero also tendered, but these latter were declined. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 28.—The Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, arrived at Spithead this morn ing from the Pacific and Rio, bringing 860,000 dollars on merchants' account, which Messrs. ember, of this port, have the conveyance of to the Bank of England. She discharged her freight into the steam-tender Sprightly, Mr. George Allen, master commanding, which brought it into harbour. The Meander sails this even ing, or at daybreak to-morrow morning, for Chatham, to be paid off, She sailed froapa,4Astad early in January,, 18-18, for China.; She took - isiit fie& England Raja Brooke and suite and a complete staff of officials for the new settlement of Labuan. She sailed from China on the 28th of May, 1849; thence to Singapore and Batavia, where she stayed 10 days; thence for New Ireland (Guinea); and thence to Sydney, New South Wales, where she stayed sixaffeeks in company with the Rattle snake surveying ship. The Meander sailed from Syd ney on the Ist of May, 1850, and proceeded to Tahiti, where she remained eight days. All was tranquil there between Qacen Pomare and the French Protectorate. A French frigate and steamer lay there, and the French gave a grand ball on board the former, which the officers of the Meander attended. The Meander left Tahiti in the beginning of August for Valparaiso, where she arrived on the 2d of September, and remained under the command of Rear-Admiral Hornby until the 25th, when she sailed for Coquimbo (Chili), and thence to Callao. where she remained three or four days, and then made for Mazatlan to collect freight, which she was engaged in a couple of months, Vaving her boats there while she went to Guaymas, where she remained a month, at the expiration of which time she returned, picked up her boats, and left fa St. Blas, whence she sailed on the Ist of March last for Valparaiso, and remained there ten days, sailing on the 3d of May for Rio, through the Straits of Magellan, in which she passed the Amphi trite, 26, Captain Frederick, then four days from Val paraiso, all well. She arrived at Rio on the Bth of June, and sailed on the 12th for England. While at Rio she saw a barque being towed oat of harbour by a small steamer, which being suspected, the Cormorant steam sloop gave chase to her, fired at her, knocked away her funnel, and afterwards made a prize of her. The barquE,- got away, but the Plumper fell in with her and fired into her. Lieut. Moore (acting), of the Gorgon, Mr. 0. W. Brierly, the merino painter, and Mr. Ormsby, from Valparaiso, have come home in this ship, which left at Rio—the Tweed, 26; Plumper, 11; Cormorant, 6; Rifleman, 6; and Sharpshooter, 6, all well. The Mean der has lost three of her officers since she has been abroad—the Hon. G. Egerton, who was accidentally shot; her surgeon, Dr. Clarke; and Mr. Searle. She has also lost a number of her crew from fever, which was caught at Labuan. She spoke the Edmonstone barque in lat. 18 21, long. 39, on the 3d inst., from Corfu to Jamaica, with troops; and on the 21st, in lat. 48 long. 26 40, the barque Josepha. The Oberon steam-vessel went to Spithead to-day to be in readiness to proceed with the Trafalgar. They have been paid advance to-day. tion and giving dir:ctions for her treatment, Mr. Leonard left the house, and the prisoner shortly afterwards has. teased out for another surgeon, bat before his return with one the deceased had expired. In cross-examination by Mr. Vann, on behalf of the accused, the witness said, ths`, when she first en tered the room, the prisoner declared that the deceased had menaced him with a knife, and that he knocked her down under the apprehension that she was about to stab him. Ellen Cooper, a married woman lodging in the second floor, deposed, that on reaching home shortly after twelve o'clock on Saturday night, she heard a low moan ing in the prisoner's room, followed by an exclamation from the deceased of " Oh, my brain! bring soma water to bathe my temples, or I shall go mad! " On entering the apartment with her husband, she found the deceased 1) ing upon the floor, and the prisoner, who exhibited ex treme anxiety and trepidation, was stooping over her bathing her head and temples. On observing witness, ho implored her assistance, and begged Mrs. Holman to proceed for a surgeon, who attended the deceased soon afterwards, but was unable to afford her any relief, and immediately after he had left, she was seized with a strong hysterical fit, which terminated fatally in a few minutes. Mr. Thomas Leonard, a surgeon in Tabernacle-square, stated that on reaching the house and examining tne de ceased, who was perfectly insensible, ha found, as far as he could judge, that she was labouring under an attack of apoplexy. Ho observed a livid mark, apparently caused by a violent blow on her right cheek. He con sidered that such a blow was calculated to produce con cussion of the brain, accompanied by the other symp toms he had described. The woman was - evidently in a dying 4§,t,e; and on requesting the prisoner to explain how the transaction arose, he replied that ahe had threat ened him with a knife, and that he therefore knocked her down. Witness then directed him to send to his surgery for some medicine, but added, that he expected to be paid for it on delivery; upon , which the prisoner turned round upon him in such a threatening manner as led him to suppose that he intended some personal violence, and he hastily left the place. Police-constable Sylvester, G 226, stated that having received information about one o'clock that morning that a woman had been murdered by her husband, he proceeded to the house and was conducted to an upper room, where he found the deceased lying quite dead. The prisoner entered soon after, and on taking him into custody he entreated his permission " to go and kiss her poor dead body" before he was conveyed to the station house. He then approached the bed on which the de ceased was lying, and after kissing her face three or four times, exclaimed " My dear girl, what shall I do now; my right hand is gone from me." Witness then observed the knife produced lying upon the floor, and on picking it up the prisoner remarked, " That is the knife my poor dear girl used to defend herself." The prisoner, who appeared at that time to be perfectly sober, acs then conveyed to the station-house. The prisoner, who was deeply affected and sobbed convulsively throughout the investigation, declined offering any observations, and was ordered to be re manded for a week to await the result of the post morteat examination.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great eft:- cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London,. October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benr)fit which I have ex perienced by takin BLAIR'S GOT and RLEIIATIC PILL, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacknd by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been strbjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hus Bars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th.)se who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try ;BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any syniptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I ob lain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency at BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. "I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. Electro- Electro- Alhata Plate.

Gunner Henry Davidson is confirmed to the Water witch, 8, sloop, at Chatham, making ready for the West Indies station. SOUTHTVARK. Sarah Turner Winter, a middle-aged respectable looking woman, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with having in her possession a box containing 200 sovereivas, a valuable gold watch and chain, two gold rings, fifteen silk handkerchiefs, and a large quantity of black spun silk, supposed to have been stolen from one of the railway companies near the metropolis. Rebecca Sergeant said she was the wife of one of the officials connected with the Eastern Counties Railway at Stratford. Her husband kept a house at West Ham, and the prisoner's brother, who was employed on the rail way, lodged with them. A few days ago the prisoner came to lodge with him, and on Sunday morning, while he was absent on duty, the prisoner showed her a hand some gold watch and chain, and entered her brother's room. When she came out she told witness that she was compelled to leave suddenly, as something had hap pened which made her uneasy; that she had left the watch and other property for her brother, and that as soon as be came home she hoped witness would send him after her. She left the house a little after eleven o'clock in the morning, but her brother did not return home till eleven at night. As soon as he entered the house she informed him that his sister had suddenly quitted the house, but she had left a gold watch and other pro • perty for him. Har brother scorned astounded, and ex claimed, " My sister can have no gold watch to give me, and whatever property she has left for me v . ou must come and look at it with me, as I will have nothing to do with her or her property." Shortly afterwards they entered his room, and found the gold watch, 200 sovereigns, and other property, when a police-constable was called in to take charge of them. Prisoner—l did not intend to give the watch to my brother. I said my brother was to keep it in use until my husband came home. I dare not give it away. Thomas Haddington, police. constable 189 K, said, about one o'clock that morning ho was called into the last witness's house at West Ham. He went up stairs and found a box, containing two hundred sovereigns, a gold watch and guard chain, two gold rings, fifteen silk handkerchiefs, and about a quarter of a hundred weight of black spun silk. They were all taken out of a box belonging to a young mane:lamed Lawrence, the prisoner's brother. Joseph Benton, police-constable 381 K, said he found the prisoner that afternoon at No. 80, York -street, Kingsland-road. She had two children with her, and when he told her that she was suspected of stealing the above property, which she had left at her brother's lodg ings, she acknowledged taking them there, but declined to answer how she became possessed of them. Prisoner—l said I took them to my brother's for safety. Benton—She said that her husband was in trouble, and being afraid that their house would be searched, she took them there to b 3 out of the way. Mr. SECKER—What is her husband ? Mrs. Ser geant—lle used to be a porter on the South-Western Railway, but he was discharged some time ago. Sergeant John William Manning, of the Stratford police, informed the magistrate that he had been to the South-Western Railway Company, and had ascertained that the prisoner' s husba n d was - discharged on account of an immense quantity of silk being lost on the line, and suspicion having attached to him, He had every reason to believe that in a fcw days some further clue would be obtained, which would show that the property found was the produce of the plunder, and that ho should be authorised to apprehend the husband. Mr. SECKER said that, according to Mrs. Sergeant's evidence, the case was on e f or i nvest i gat i on at t h e Lam beth Police-court ; therefore he should remand the pri soner to gaol, and order her to be taken before the ma gistrates there to-morrow (this) morning. WESTMINSTER. Sir James Sutherland M'Kenzie, whose name has of late been repeatedly before the public, and who was com mitted from this court on the 12th of June, in default of finding sureties for his geed behaviour, and has ever since been in custody, was brought up from the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, by direction of the magistrate. Upon being brought into court, Mr. BURRELL said—Sir James M'Kenzie, I have con sented, upon the application of your solicitor, to discharge you upon your entering into your own rceognizances of 2001. to keep the peace. At the same time I much regret that a man in your station of life, who ought to be able to command bail, is unable to procure it; and I hope that, on your own account, you will be more on your guard in future. lam afraid you indulge in drinking to excess. Sir James—As it appears in the papers; bat I can appeal to any of the members of the St. James's, or other clubs, to prove that I never display any pugnacity while in their company. I am never annoyed there. Mr. BURRELL—They know your infirmity. Sir James—l beg your pardon; I can always take care of myself there, but it's the annoyance outsi le that ex cites me, not inside the clubs. Mr. BURRELL—I hope you will be morn cautious. Sir James—Although I may take a great deal in the clubs, I am never irritated or excited there. Mr. BURRELL—No, but you may drink a consider able quantity there, and then go out and become excited by any annoyance. You kaow that boys, and the vul gar order of people, seeing a man under the influence of liquor, are too apt to follow and annoy him. People will insult a drunken man. I hope, for your own sake, you will for the /attire be on your guard, or you will get into constant scrapes; and it is my duty to tell you that if, after what has occurred, you are again brought before me, or any other magistrate, you will in all pro bability be treated with the utmost possible severity of the law. Sir James—You will not see me here again. Mr. BURRELL—I can have no wish, in offering these remarks, but that you should conduct yourself as a man of rank and as a gentleman. The second clerk then proceeded to bind over Sir James, in his own recognizances of 2001., to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for the next twelve months. ROYAL NAVAL Scisooz.—A special meeting of the governors of this institution was held yesterday, on the pre mises, New-cross, Deptford, for the purpose of making various alterations in the rules and by-laws of the corpo ration, having reference to the admission of pupils, which had been approved of by the council, and wero rendered ne cessary by the recent Act of Parliament. Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., took the chair. The following: gentlemen were also present: —Admiral Sir Watkin Pell, Sir Charle"s Ogle, Captains Rideout, M'Adams, Stewart, Whish, Clarke, Gladstone, and Stopford, and Lieutenant Henderson. The chairman observed, that the resolutions about to be sub mitted to the meeting were intended to authorise the ad mission into the school of a limited number of the sons of persons not being officers in the Royal Navy or Marines. He regretted that he should not be able to continue his atten dance during the consideration of the proposed amendments, as urgent business required his immediate return to London. The gallagt Admiral accordingly withdrew, and the chair was taken by Sir W. Pell. The secretary then proceedeel to read the by-laws, when several, which were incompatible with the provisions of the Act of Parliament, were rescinded, and those recommended by the council were, after some dis cussion, unanimously adopted in their stead. The meeting then adjourned. THE TEA TRADE, JULY 28.—The quantity of tea delivered in London last week was 640,5711 b., being rather less than during the previous fortnight. SPORTING NOTES. No. XCIV. THE PROBABLE FIELDS, AND WINNERS OF TO - aORROW'S RACES AT GOODWOOD. TO THE EDITOR OE THE SUN. SlR,—Although the value of the stakes run for to-day, at Goodwood, is by many hundreds greater than each of the other days, amounting as they will do to somewhere about six thousand pounds or upwards, yet to-morrow, on account of the Goodwood Stakes standing then for decision, is generally considered the day of the meeting, " the Stakes" being a race on which, for many years past, immense sums have been betted; in this respect this year will form no exception to the rule, large sums hav ing been invested on several of the competitors, to wit:— The Grand Duke, Presto, Backbiter, Cariboo, Narcissus and Harpsichord, and very fair sums on some seven or eight others. To-morrow's " bill of fare" is headed with a Handicap Plate, value 50 sovs., which, with The Stewards' Cup, the Cowdray Stakes, and a couple of 10 sovs. Sweepstakes, I have no t at the time of writing, although these stakes closed last evening, received the entries for. The Drawing Room Stakes, value 5851. (including the bonus), two miles one furlong and forty yards, of course rests between IlEssE HOMBURG' and Lord Exeter's horse, which will, in all probability, be Phlegethon ; both these animals are bred for a distance, bur, as Hesse receives 51bs for her sex, I think it most likely that will turn the scale of victory in her favour. Nothing else will run, without Sir Rowland Trenchard should be started for the off-chance. The mile and a quarter 300 sovs. stakes, for colts, would tall, I should say, to H ERNANDEZ ; B onn i e Dundee or Hip polytus obtaining the dubious honour of being second and last. Neither Croupier, Storm, or Kakiatos will run. The mile and a quarter 300 Sovs. Stakes for fillies, will be:won by Mr. Grat wicke's ANSPACH, and, very possibly without a contest. The field for the Goodwood Stakes will, by the time of starting, be run up to about a score, probably the fol lowing :—Cariboo, 4 yrs, Bst 81b; Pitsford, 4 yrs, Bst 31b; Backbiter, 6 yrs, 7st 91b; Windischgratz, 4 yrs, 7st 91b; Duc-an-Durras, 6 yrs, 7st 51b; Vampire, aged, 6st 111 b; Clarissa, 5 yrs, Est 41b; Humphrey, 4 yrs, Est 21b; Gla dioli, 4 yrs, Est llb; Narcissus, 4 yrs, Est llb; Bacton, 4 yrs, sst 131 b ; Salute, 4 yrs, sst 121 h; Runnymede, 3 yrs, sst 101 b. ; Grand Duke, 3 yrs, sst 51b; Presto, 3 yrs, sst 31b; Cornelius, 3 yrs, sst 101 b, or Ingrati tude, 3 yrs, sst; Harry Scurry, 3 yrs, sst, or Girdle, 3 yrs, 4st 121 b; British Boy, 3 yrs, 4st 121 b; Ischia (D); Harpsichord, 3 yrs, 4st 71b; and Miss Whip colt, 3 yrs, 4st 41b. My opinion with respect to the winner remains unaltered, THE GRAND DUKE or NARCISSUS to furnish to-morrow's hero, with Duc-an-Durras, Presto, and Pitsford in close attendance. The next flight, I fancy, will consist of Miss Whip colt, the Grand Duke's schoolmaster—V ampyre, Windischgratz, Backbiter, Runnymede, and Cariboo. The betting in town this morning, considering tho great number of the betting fraternity that have departed for the scene of action in Sussex is uncommonly brisk; latest prices as followb: Gratwicke-2 to lon Hernandez. Goodwood Stakes -4 to 1 agst Grand Duke, 9 to 2 taken; 8 to 1 agst Nar cissus, 8 to 1 agst Backbiter, 10 to 1 agst Cariboo, 10 to 1 agst Dac-an- Durres, taken freely; 100 to 7 agst Pits ford. Goodwood Cup-7 to 2 agst Nancy, 4to 1 agst Clincher, 4 to 1 east Cariboo, 5 to 1 agst Mentes. Claverhouse and the Cheshire Witch filly are in great demand for the Ham Stakes, the prices, however; so variable that I cannot quote any. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

SAMUEL BEALE, Deputy Chairman. By order, J. F. BELL, Sec. Derby, July 26, 1851. (Copy.) To the Chairman and Directors of the Midl and Railway Company. We, the undersigned Proprietors in the Midland Railway Company request you will give notice, that at the next :Ralf-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors, it will be proposed to discontinue the practice of al lowing the free passage of Proprietors along the line to attend Ge neral and Special General Meetings. This sys tern is one confined almost to the Midland Railway Company, and it 3 one objectionable on many points. It is unjust to the Proprietors who reside at a dis tance, and are not on the line, it is liable to gr sat abuse, and entails a very considerable expense on the general I'm , arces of the Company by allowing parties who may hold ever so sma 11 an amount of the Stock, to pass free along the whole line at all events twice, and it may be more frequently annually, for any purr , ose whatever. We therefore request you will give the above notice , and we also claim the support of the Board in getting the system of such free passes abolished.

Want of judgment, or false notions of economy, tempt many to seek for bargains in the auction room, or the advertised cheap repository; but the true votaries of Terpsichore look to the name for a confirmation of their choice, and a guarantee fur its being a correct one. The Cottages, Semi-Cottages, and Piccolos of Messrs. Cocks and Co. meet at once the requirements of connoisseurs and economists ; they are of beautiful exterior, of well-seasoned wood, embracing the highest degree of excellence of material and manu facture, and of much surpassing beauty in their harmonic powers, being powerful in volume, brilliant in expression, and light and elastic to the touch. The Semi-Cottage or Piccolo, with its im proved grand desk, in particular arrested our attention, from its truly unique and elegant appearance, and the powerful volume it pours forth when touched by the master hand.

Henry Groom, aged 42, was arraigned on an indict ment charging him with the wilful murder vi John Ayton on the 4th of the present month, at Holkham, by shoating him through the head with a bullet and shot discharged from a pistol. The prisoner is a labourer on the llolkham estate, and the deceased was the superintendent of the brick fields, in virtue of which office it was his constant prac tice to pay the labourers their wage's fortnightly on Fri days. For this purpose he used to obtain the necessary funds at Lord Leicester's office, and being advanced i❑ years, he had latterly resorted to a donkey and cart as a means of conveyance from the office in the park, his road lying through the west lodge and past a plantation and an old sand-pit. On the day named in the indictment, Mr. Ayton obtained, at his usual hour of twelve, or there abouts, the sum of 251. ss. 6d., which was paid to him in sovereigns, and half-sovereigns, and a 5/. noteof Gurney's bank, which, having been cut in two, had been pasted together again at the back, and presented some endorse ment in red ink. No further notice was taken of this note at the time of payment by the clerk. Between twelve and one Aytoa was sews to pass through the park in his don key-cart towards the west lodge, and after that hour he was not seen alive by anyone, unless it was by the prisoner, who was seen loitering ahout the entrance to the sand pit plantation on that day by two people, between twelve and a quarter-past one. At half-past one a shot was heard by some workmen hoeing marigold wurzel in a field near the plantation. About two o'clock a young lad wandering about the neighbourhood chanced to enter the plantation, where he saw a man lying on his . side, as he thought, asleep, with his hat on the top of his head. The boy took no notice of him ; but, pass ing through the plantation, entered the marigold wurzel field, and told the men there what he hael seen. They did not pay any attention to the circumstance. At half past one a man named Yarham saw Ayton's donkey and cart straying along the road between the entrance to the said pit plantation and the brickfield, and tied them up at a gate near the pit. The same man finding the don key and cart at the same place, and having heard from the boy that he had seen a man asleep in the pit, he leaned over the brink, and at the bottom he found the owner of the donkey and cart lying dead, with " the contents worked out" by a large wound at the back of his head, over which was placed his hat. The alarm was immediately given, and the pockets of the deceased man having evidently been rifled, suspicion fell on the prisoner, who had been seen going home to his father-in-law's house, at Wells, by a circuitous route ; he was on that evening taken into custody, when a Si. note of Gurney's bank, corresponding in appearance with that so recently given to Ayton, was found in his pocket, and a key. The latter being applied to a drawer in the room occupied by the prisoner, opened it, and within the drawer were found a quantity of sovereigns, half-sovereigns, and sil ver, which together with the 51. note, made up the sum of 261. 2a. 6cl. The coin so found in the drawer was wrapped in a piece of paper, which, on being examined, proved to be a portion of an account in Ayton's hand writing, and fitted exactly with another piece of paper discovered in the pocket of the murdered man, in which was the rest of the same account. It further appeared that a horse-pistol, which the father-in-law of the pri soner had placed on a shelf after using it on the morning of the 4th to scare birds, was missed at nine o'clock, after the prisoner had been seen to quit the house with a canvas bag under his arm, and soon after the pri soner's return home the same pistol was seen again in its proper place. The prisoner, who was not defended by counsel, did not attempt to deny that he was in the neighbourhood of the plantation, as deposed by the witnesses for the prosecution, but accounted for the pos session of the money by saying that he had found it in the road, and insisted that no one had ever seen him kill the man. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Justice CRESSWELL submitted the whole facts to the jury, who, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. His LORDSHIP then proceeded to pass the awful sen tence of death in the usual form. The prisoner, who used a trumpet during the whole of the trial, as he was quite deaf, was then withdrawn from the dock. ----- --- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. W OR S HIP- S TREE T. A middle-aged man, earned John Rogers, described as an omnibus-driver, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having caused the death of a woman named Elizabeth Leafe, aged thirty-six years, with whom he had cohabited. Mrs. Jane Holman, the wife of a bootmaker in Luke street, Finsbury, said—The prisoner had occupied the first-floor room in my house with the deceased, who lived with'him as his wife, since the Saturday before Eas ter last. About a quarter boron) 12 on Saturday night I was disturbed by an angry altercation between them, which was shortly succeeded by the sounds of a blow and heavy fall, which completely shook the place. I instantly hastened up stairs to their apartment,lon entering which I found the deceased lying on the floor, bleeding pro fusely from the nose and mouth. The only words she uttered wore, " Oh, pray oh, pray !" On questioning the prisoner, who was very much intoxicated, as to what he had done to the woman, he replied, in an agi tated manner, " I have struck her and knocked her down. For God's sake do all you can for her." I immediately raised her head, and requested the prisoner to support it for fear she should be suffocated, which he readily did. Having admitted another lodger, named Cooper, and his wife, I left the deceased under their care, and at the urgent desire of the pri soner hurried off to procure the attendance of Mr. Leonard, a surgeon in the neighbourhood. On return ing with the latter, the deceased was still lying upon the floor in strong convulsions.

Fr — 1 • [PRICE SDO ELECTION OF A SHERIFF. Yesterday a Common Hall was held for the election of a sheriff in the room of Mr. James Hartley, who, upon being elected, together with Mr. Cotterell, to fill the office, declined to serve, and paid the fine. Soon after the announcement that Mr. Hartley would not for the present accept the office had been made, several gentle men of influence in the City waited upon Mr. Richard Swift, a gentleman of high respectability, considerable attainments, and influence, and without difficulty ob tained his consent to become a candidate for the dignity. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by several of the aldermen, the sheriffs, and the high City officers, appeared upon the hustings; and The RECORDER represented to the Livery the peculiar circumstances under which they had been called together. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded his brief address by stating that it was in the power of any member of the Livery to propose any qualified person, although the name might not be included in the formal list of those proposed to their acceptance. The TOWN CLERK having read the long list of names, Mr. WINKWORTII came forward upon the hustings to propose Mr. Richard Swift as a candidate for the office. It was, he said, the first time he had ever had the ho nour of addressing the Livery, and certainly he could not be engaged more b:neficially to his fellow-citizens, or more honourably to himself, than in introducing to their notice a gentleman su admirably qualified, in every respect, to perform all the duties of the office of sheriff. —(Loud cheers.) if he entertained a single doubt upon the subject he would not appear there to advocate the claims of his excellent friend, but his intimate know ledge of the high character and eminent worth of Mr. Swift strengthened and confirmed his confidence, and it was a source of gratification to know that the gentleman who was thus nominated was not only adapted to the office, but was willing to accept it, for the service of the citiz-ms of London.—(Loud cheers, and a cry from a tew persons in front of the hustings of " He's a Catholic," which was drowned in applause.) In Mr. Swift the con stituency would have a sheriff who would not only maintain their rights and privileges, but would most splendidly support the hospitalities of the office, and dis charge all its duties in the most vigorous manner. Two or three persons in the crowd said—" You may as well propose Cardinal Wiseman as sheriff;" but they were soon silenced by overwhelming cheers. Mr. Tnoatas NORRIS (the common councilman) se conded the nomination of Mr. Swift, and congratulated the meeting upon the fact that a person of such distin guished qualifications had readily consented to take upon himself so important and responsible an office. The citizens of London had a most satisfactory guarantee for the proper performance of the duties of the office of sheriff in the well-known character of the gentleman whom he felt so much pride in supporting. It wtoyffr . possible to say less of Mr. Swift. It would be very " 1 cult to say more of anybody.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. GEORGE SIIOOBRID GE , w h o , it will be heinhabi tants reco llected, succeeded some year s a go i n preva iling upon_t of tants of the City to b u ild a l ms h o uses instead illumi nating their own h ouses i n h on our of e pa ssing of the Reform Bill, wi s h e d t o ,impress u n necessity of raising fifty the electors evidently m odel lod I t g l - t h b o c u se s Livery fo r the the accommodaLion of the poor; but considered the introduction of such a subject un seasonable, and advised him to wait fora bettor op portunity. Mr. RENNOCEI (the common councilman) came for ward to bear testimony to the merits and qualifications of Mr. S w if t . No one, he said , doubted the philanthropi c disposition of the gentleman who advocated the building of model lodgin g -h o uses; but tho Li very had assembled for a different purpose. They had met for the purpose of electing a model sheriff, and in choosing Mr. Swift to t h a t office they would most effectually accomplish that desirable object.—(Load cheers.) The names were then put up, and the hall resounded with acclamations when the name of Mr. Swift was announced. The SHERIFF declared that the election had fallen upon Richard Swift, Esq., citizen and spectacle•maker, and the newly-elected sheriff was formally call upon to take upon himself the office. sine , ~.,........- ......- 7, --- Mr. SWIFT iM..., j i lately nresen ~ n c e hustings, and we - `teer,7 d from every part of the il 1.

Of the importance of the duties of the situation I feel deeply sensible, and it is no inconsiderable mark of your esteem and confi dence that I have been appointed in so unequivocal a manner to perform duties of such a nature. I shall make my best exertions to show that I am aware of the - eNtent of the obligation. I shall firmly s u p port the rights and privileges of my fellow ciOzcus, an d I shall resign the office unimpaired into their hands at the ter mination of my year of office.—(Loud cheers.) The sheriffs then proceeded to the Colirt of Aldermen and announced that the clecaou was at au end, and the hall VSTIS dissolved. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. A heavy storm, in the department of the Cote D'Or, has destroyed the grape crop, and the price of wine has risen in consequence. The National did not appear, in consequence of the 27th being the anniversary of the revolution of July. The Assemblee Nationale states that General CA VAIGNAC has announced his intention of withdrawing his pretensions as a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. " The wish" was, on the part of the writer, " the father to the thought," for the Bulletin de Paris authoritatively contradicts the rumour. The Constitutionnel has the following on the sub ject of the desertion of their ships by French seamen : " It appears to us that it may be useful to gi ve pub licity to a judgment recently passed on this subject by the Chamber of Commerce at Marseilles. The Minister of Marin e has ordered this decision to be made publicly known in all the seaports, as it may have the effect of putting an end to the practice of inducing French sea men to desert. The following is the decision referred to:—A sailor , cl assed on the registers of the mar i t i me inscription of Bordeaux, had deserted and afterwards come to Marseilles, under an assumed name, among the orew of an Americas ship, commanded by a Captain W. He was recognised,. arrested, and thrown into pr i son, which, however, did not prev en t his claiming from the American captain the whole of the wages stipulated for in his agreement. The captain being d epr i ve d o f t h e services of the man, and foreseein g that he should be compelled to take another man in his stead, refused to in case of pay; but the affair being brought before the Ch am b er o f Commerce, he was condemned to pit , the wages, ren dering both his person and his ship liable non-payment. It is to be hoped that this act of j ust i ce will serve as a lesson on the other side of the Atlantic, and render the Americans less prompt to tamper with our sailors." The Municipality of the Commune of Urzelhas re fused to vo t e a gran t t o a J esu it school establishedin their commune. In the Assembly yesterday M. MENISCAUT pre sented the report of the Commission des Coves, which recommended the adjournment of the Assem bly from the 10th of August to the 20th October. The discussion was fixed for to-morrow (this day), The sitting of the Assembly was suspended for 20 minutes, in order to afford Members an opportunity of seeing the eclipse. The Bourse was remarkably firm. The Five per Cents. opened at 95f. 65c., and closed at 951. 85c. for the end of the month.

The Cologne Gazette states, on what it represents to be good authority, that the protests of France and England against the entrance of Austria with all her states into the Germanic Diet was not rejected una nimously, the Ministers of Holstein and Luxemburg having been of opinion that it ought to be accepted. The Weser Gazette states that the Germanic Diet intends to suppress all the gambling-houses in Ger many from Ist January next. The King and Queen of PRUSSIA left Berlin on the 25th ; the former for the Baltic provinces, the latter for Dresden. The reigning Duke of ANHALT and DESSAN, by decree of the 21st, dissolves the Diet of the two duchies, and suspends Art. 50 of the Constitution, which requires a new Diet to be convoked within GO days after a dissolution. The DUKE issued a procla mation to the people on the occasion, in which he says— The German Governments have agreed to resist energetically any dissolution of existing relations. They will not suffer the domestic repose and welfare of peoples, which are based on the free development of commerce and manufactures, and on the respect of legal authority, religion, morality, reciprocal confi dence and well-ordered family relations, to be any longer menaced. They will not allow the German people, who arc so great by their virtues and by their devotedness to their sovereigns to lose their most pre cious rights." The Government of the states of the Zolverein have ratified the resolutions adopted in the general conference at Wiesbaden, for modification of the tariffs. It will be remembered that some months ago, M. Maw, the editor of a Harnburgh journal called the M e phistopheles, was severely beaten by six Austrian soldiers for an article in his journal which they re garded as insulting to the Austrian army. These soldiers were brought to trial a few days ago, and merely sentenced to a week's imprisonment. On the other hand, a hair-dresser who was the cause of the disturbance at llainhurgh between the Austrian sol diers and the inhabitants of St. Pauli, has been tried and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. A letter from Rastadt, in a Frankfort journal, says—" We learn from a good source that the two fifths of the contingents of the German federal states have received orders to hold themselves in readiness in order that the military organization of the Grand Duchy of Baden may be completed." The Deutsche Allgenzeine Zeitung has been seized and confiscated by the police at Leipsic, for publish ing, under the head of " Great Britain," a notice of, and translations from portions of, Mr. Geanseoex's letter to the Earl of ABERDEEN on the treatment of the Neapolitan prisoners of state.
