Otenina LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 22, 1850. Saturday, the 20th of July, 1850, will be parti cularised as a date especially worthy of his celebra tion by the future biographer of Lord PALMERSTON. For then it was that the popularity of that illustrious Minister of the Crown may be truly said to hare reached its period of culmination. A more signal evidence that its political sentiments are consonant with those of the English multitude, could not have been afforded by the members of the Reform Club, than the circumstance of their having invited her MAJESTY'S principal Foreign Secretary to a grand banquet, on Saturday evening, for the purpose of expressing their admiration for his policy, and their respect for his public and private character. The detailed report, given elsewhere, of the speeches deli vered upon this interesting occasion will be perused no doubt with avidity by thousands of our intelligent population; and the hearts of those thousands will respond eagerly to the opinions therein articulated, opinions crowning the career of a great statesman with popular approval and panegyric. It was by no infelicitous selection, moreover, that the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman the representative of the county of Middlesex presided as chairman over this assem blage ; for among all the Members of the British House of Commons he has long, by his votes, by his speeches, and by his whole bearing in the Legislature, distinguished himself peculiarly for his political in dependence. So conspicuous, indeed, has been the isolation of Mr. RALPH BERNAL OSBORNE from all party feeling whatever, both within and without the walls of the Parliament, so thoroughly careless has be been of propitiating the favour of the Government or of arousing the antagonistic passions of the Opposi tion, that he very appropriately excused himself for any inadequacy that might be evinced by him in proposing the toast of the evening on Saturday, by , reminding his auditors that he had been more ac customed to pass strictures on the collective acts of the Cabinet than to pay compli ments to. any individual Minister. What is here mentioned as characteristic of the Chairman may be emphatically predicated also of the influential body of politicians there assembled together to do honour to Viscount PALMERSTON. As might be seen from the list of names accompanying the beautiful testimonial recently presented to his Viscountess, as might be `recognized also from—the catalogue of his supporters who cordially yielded their votes the other movaing to the motion of Mr. ROEBUCK, the large majority of the Parliamentary sympathisers with the Foreign Secretary were ranked amongst the really in dependent representatives of the people of England. At a moment when his fortunes as an administrator, and his fair fame as a statesman, were threatened by a malignant.' conspiracy of intriguers, Lord PALMERS TON had the gratification of finding his policy sus tained, and his reputation vindicated not by place bunters or partizans, but by men thoroughly indif ferent to the smiles of those in office. Such was the pervading characteristic of his most earnest panegy rists in the Legislature. Such likewise was the prominent characteristic of those who, on Saturday evening, celebrated by their presence in the Reform Club the late triumphant discomfiture of his anta gonists. Of all political movements those of intrigue are the most abhorrent to the feelings of the English population. Duplicity in Parliamentary tactics, complicity on the part of sworn foes for the purpose of securing their own mutual aggrandisement, drawing room plots, and backstair interviews in re ference to the conduct of a Legislature, find no accord whatever in the mind of our insular multitude. They regard with emotions only of unmitigated dis gust and indignation the covert schemes of those wilier aspirants for power who endeavour by nefarious tricks and mendacious treacheries to oust from his Ministerial position a dauntless and patriotic states man like Viscount PALMERSTON. That such efforts as these should have been attempted in this country " by politicians with characters and without characters, by ministers in place and out of place, by kings with crowns and without crowns" (to employ the felicitous description of them given in the House of Commons by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Middlesex), is, of course, a matter of profound regret, viewing it simply in reference to the question of political mo rality. Nevertheless, we cannot but acknowledge to a certain coincidence of sentiment with Mr. 13surgel. 0 snows 2, when he almost exulted in the circumstance of this conspiracy, beholding the decisive and triumphant manner of its discomfiture. Another reason for sa tisfaction, moreover, was indicated by the Gallant Chairman, when he exclaimed, "But I also rejoice that the Noble Lord has been exposed to personal attack and vituperation, because it has given to the world and to future ages that great intellectual effort, that enunciation of great truths, that lucid array of facts, and, above all, that calm and Christianlike for bearance from recrimination, which will be handed down to after ages as a monument of eloquence, to be studied by the philosopher, and taken as a model by the statesman." No wonder that impassioned tribute of eulogium upon the masterly speech in which Lord PALMERSTON vindicated his foreign policy from the charges of its assailants was received with a rapture of applause befitting those who had to express in some faint manner at least the ardour of the popular enthusiasm. No wonder that the ap plause was yet heightened in intensity when the Chairman, by one of those master strokes of pane gyric which in periods of strong emotion sometimes seem to give voice, as it were, to the throbbings of the national heart, repeated those noble lines from Sir BULWER LITTON'S King Arthur, where " one of the greatest and most varied of modern writers describes the greatest and most accomplished of modern states men" : " Warmed with the instincts of a knightly heart, That roused at once, if insult touched the realm, He spurned each state craft—each deceiving art, And met his foes, no visor to his helm: This proved his worth Hereaf.er be our boast, Who hated Britain, hated him the most." Among those whose oratorical participation in the banquet of Saturday evening more peculiarly ac corded with the feelings in which the entire de monstration had originated, we must particularly refer to Lord CAMors, who remarked, when returning thanks fur the House of Lords, that whereas it had been said on previous occasions, " Thank GOD, we have a House of Lords !" the more appropriate exclamation on this occasion would be, " Thank GOD, we have a House of Commons !" In a kindred spirit of earnestness, the speech wherein Lord DUDLEY STUART proposed " The People—the only source of Legitimate Power," was entitled to the cheers which it elicited, abounding as it did with tokens that the patrician blood of England is not alien to that of the toiling multitudes, scattered though they might be over the remotest regions of the globe—the Noble Orator asserting that the recent triumph of the noble subject of his commendations "had gladdened with consolation and hope every patriot, in whatever country, who had struggled or who sighed for liberty." In reference to the scornful comment pronounced by the Solicitor- General upon those renegades from liberality, who had pitifully connived at the conspiracy of the ene mies of freedom by opposing the Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Member for Sheffield, we might be inclined to expatiate at some length, taking into account the heinous conduct of such turpitude and tergiversation. As it is, how ever, we can content ourselves with echoing the allusion of Mr. COCKBURN—. "Among the faithful, faithless only they ! " satisfied in so doing, because as participators in the re cent victory we can " afford to be generous," and because also the completeness of the triumph accorded to Lord PALMERSTON admits of no room for acerbity or recrimination. B3sides, we have no leisure to de signate the insignificance of mere political intriguers —our attention being more worthily engrossed by the contemplation of a great statesman and an il lustrious administrator. Equally felicitous with the remarks already quoted from the speeches of Mr. OSBORNB on Saturday was the incidental encomium previously passed upon the illustrious guest of the evening by the Chairman, when, in proposing the toast of the Army and Navy, he observed that its objects, the maritime and military officers present, had some right to complain of and find fault with the Noble Lord on his right, as it was through his policy that the army and navy bad not found that employment which they anticipated I Nor was that beau tiful compliment which Mr. OSBORNE paid to his Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT less eloquently emphatic, when, in coupling his name with that of the heir to the Crown and the other members of the Royal Family, he observed, " I shall content myself with saying, and I am sure I express the feelings of this meeting, that we hope the Prince of WALES will imitate the private virtues and the public worth of bis Sire !" Indeed throughout the whole of the festal proceedings of Saturday even. ing, Mr. BENNAL OSBORNE evinced, in his ca pacity as chairman, qualities as felicitous of their kind, as he had already long displayed in his character as a popular representative. In allusion to the gallantry of his political conduct upon all occasions, we might say of him too that " He meets his foes. no visor to his helm ;" and, appreciating to the full the vigorous consistency of his independence, we are satisfied that the men of Middlesex have reason to be proud of him, just as the men of all England have reason to be proud of the illustrious subject of his eulegiums. Of that great statesman the people of these islands not only have reason to be proud, but are proud— they are proud of hi s courage never instant before the intimidating intriguelsuftioflingDespofotritrian, of his genius ever vigilant in presiding over the in tricate mechanism of diplomacy, of his patriotism ever alive to the minutest particular affecting the honour, the interests, or thedignity of Great Britain. They behold in the long and glorious record of his Ministerial achievements cause fur felicitating the empire upon the possession of a statesman so bold and yet circumspect--one who, while adorning with his name the list of our Parliamentary orators, is still ever keeping a watchful eye upon our relations with all foreign c a o n u d ntr t i h e e s, and who, of h whilet the h maintaining with a strong name of England, has yet acqu ired a red nd fo t r ru hi es m t s c e o lf ns t e h r- e glory of being one of the nobles t vators of the tranquillity of Christendom. While England was lamenting the premature death of her greatest statesman, America was mourn ing the sudden loss of her most popular PRESIDENT. Exactly one week after the death of Sir ROBERT PEEL occurred the death of General ZACHARY TAYLOR, the President of the United States of America. As opposed to each other in position, in disposition, in manner, in education, almost, it might be'said, in thought and in feeling, as it is well pos sible to suppose any two men to be, yet each occupied virtually a nearly similar position in their respec tive countries, and the premature death of each will necessarily occasion important political changes, the effects of which on England, on America, and on the whole civilized world, it is impossible to calcu late. At first sight it would seem to be a mere hunting after the paradoxical to attempt to discover any similarity between Sir ROBERT PEEL and General ZACHARY TAYLOR. The American PRESI• DENT, "old rough and ready," was a blunt, straight forward soldier, born and bred in camps, ignorant of and despising the scholarly lore, the love of art, the persuasive eloquence, the diplomatic tact, the menagemens, the suavitur in mode, in which Sir ROBERT PEEL delighted ; and while Sir ROBERT PEEL was a mere individual Member of Parliament, holding no office whatever under Govern ment, General ZACHARY TAILOR was the chief of the Executive of the mightiest republic that the world has ever seen. In what, then, consisted the simi larity between them—it consisted in this, that while their respective countries were divided into parties at fierce enmity with each other, they were by the con fidence reposed in them by their respective fellow countrymen enabled respectively to act the part of mo derators and to prevent those collisions which, now that they are removed, seem sooner or later inevitable. The slave question at present divides the United States, and threatens at no distant day to break up the union, unless both slave-holders and abolitionists moderate respectively their exaggerated pretensions. General ZACHARY TAYLOR was the man to have brought about a compromise on the question, if any man could have brought it about. Bred in the Southern States, he had a practical knowledge of slavery and its social dangers and difficulties, and could therefore make allowances for the fears, not altogether unfounded, of the slave-holders ; ardently attached to liberty, he was, in theory, heart and soul an abolitionist ; known and respected as a straightforward, honest man, without guile, and possessed of the prestige which is attached to every successful military comman der, General ZACHARY TAYLOR could and would have settled this difficult and dangerous question; he dies, and there is not to be found throughout the length and breadth of America any individul capable of occupying exactly his position. The loss of General TAYLOR is as irreparable for America as is that of Sir ROBERT PEEL for England. His successor, Mr. FILLMORE iS a clever man, a statesman, and a man disposed to peace, but he is a thorough partisan—he is, in fact, the nominee of Mr. CLAY, and will, as far as in him lies, carry out the whole of Mr. CL&x's views. Mr. CLAY'S compromise Bill on the slave question, which has met with such almost universal disapproval, will no doubt be adopted by Mr. FILLMORE as a Cabinet measure. Mr. FILLMORE is, or rather was, an ultra-Protec tionist ; he drew up the ultra-Protection tariff of 1842, which was called familiarly " Fillmore's Bill." The experiment of free trade has been now tried in America for four years, and suc ceeded beyond the expectations and hopes of even its most sanguine supporters ; we think, therefore, that whatever may be Mr. FILLMORE'S opinion on the subject of protection, the Congress and the Senate will not permit the repeal of the Revenue Bill of 1846. Mr. FILLMORE, moreover, is, it is said, a shrewd and clever man, and has, therefore, probably altered his opinions on this subject. We cannot forget, that in our own country the same man, who as FREDERICK JOHN ROBINSON; proposed in the House of Commons, the enactment of the Corn-laws; carried, as the Earl of Ripon, in the House of Peers, the Bill for their total repeal. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were esti mated at from 8,000 to 10,000 bares, of which about one-half were taken on speculation. The market closed firmly at full prices.—Railway Shares were heavy. The wheat trade was dull in Mark-lane this morning, and prices declined Is. per quarter, At the Union Bank of Australia this morning a dividend was declared of 3 per cent. for the half-year, with a bonus of 7s. 6d. per share. The accounts from America are favourable, and the steamer brings a fair amount of specie. The transfers at New York of United States stock to foreigners, from the Ist to the sth inst., amounted to 201,600 dollars, of which 15,800 dollars was of the loan of 1842 ; 4,000 dollars of 1843 ; 12,500 dollars of 1846 ; 154,050 dollars of 1847 ; and 15,250 dollars of 1548. The value of dry goods entered at the port for consumption during the past week, was 777,222 dollars, against 546,592 dollars for the corresponding week last year. Large remittances were still arriving from California. From December 1848 to June 29, 1850, the golddast received at the Philadelphia mint, direct from California, amounted to 15,850,00 dollars. This does not include the receipt., at the New Orleans branch. The receipts at that port, with the amount reported to have been received by the steam-ships Philadelphia and Georgia, at New York from Chagres, will swell the aggregate to nearly twenty millions of dollars. This is at the rate of thirteen millions of dollars per annum, including the last arrival. The steam-ship Oregon, at Panama, from San Francisco, brings very favourable accounts relative to the productiveness of the mines, and more satisfactory advice., regarding the posi tion of mercantile matters generally. Notwithstand ing all the difficulties the people of San Francisco have had to contend with in the shape of fires, a very important change has taken place in the system of doing business, and prices have not fluctuated so much as we anticipated. Spe culation has in a great degree subsided, and business evi dently is conducted upon a better basis. Real estate has largely depreciated in value, without having created the dis asters anticipated, and we may with safety look for better and more speedy returns for shipments than have yet been realised. The Ilamburgh mail, with Friday's accounts, informs us that there had been an active demand for Bills of Exchange. Funds and Shares were more dealt in, and firmer. The weather was very fine for the crops. By direct arrivals we have intelligence of March 3S from Van Dieman's Land and Sidney, and via Madras to the middle of April. The market for imports at the latter place was good ; but the supply of drapery articles was quite ade quate. All was expected to advance considerably. There was still dissatisfaction about the convict question. Wheat a:, Hobart Town was 4s. to Is. 3d. per bushel, and expected to advance. Her Majesty's ship Amphitrite has arrived from Valparaiso with accounts of May 1. There are 1,500,000 dollars on board in specie. She brings likewise Rio de Janeiro dates of June 9. The fever bad abated, no cases having occurred for three weeks previously. Jamaica advices of July 1 have been received via New York. The Assembly had passed a Bill to raise the interest on the loan to be obtained in England. The weather was favourable, but the rains came rather late in the year. Mexican letters of June 20 state that Congress was to meet that day upon the subject of the-foreign debt. The amounts pending for account of the Mexican bond holders were, in Vera Cruz, on the 15th ult., 136,641 dolls. 28c., and in Tampico, on the 10th ult., 5,545 dolls. 58c. Tht Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received this morning a letter from Mr. Lori, dated " La Guayra, 22d June," apprizing them of Senor Olavarria having left the Ministry, and been again succeeded by Senor Lecnna. In consequence of this change, the final settlement of a plan for discharging the arrears of interest has suffered a fresh delay. The day before Senor Olavarria left the Ministry the Executive issued a decree annulling that of the Ist of Octo ber last, to make an alteration for the relief of the Treasury, but in nowise altering the quota of duties set apart for the foreign creditors—on the contrary, enforcing in strong terms its most rigorous observance. No remittance has arrived, but expectations are held out that a remittance may be forwarded by the next mail. The English Funds continue heavy, chiefly from paucity of business. Most of the speculators are leaving town. Consols have been 96% % for transfer, and 96% for account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter ► er Cents. have realised 98 3 / 4 to 99, and the Three per Cents. 97 1 4 to %. Bank Stock is worth 21'2, and India Stock has been done at 268. Exche quer-bills are 675. to 70s. premium. Foreign Securities are neglected also. Mexican are 29% to 30. Equador Bonds realise 3%. Danish Five per Cents. have been quoted 102. Spanish Five per Cents. are 17k. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 57 1 ,E to %. There is no improvement in Railway Shares, on the con trary some of them barely support previous rates. The North Stafford directors recommend a dividend of is. 6d. per share; the amount of the East Lancashire will be equally unsatis factory, and other lines are making poor returns. They are, however, all in the road to permanent improvement, it is hoped. QUARTER TO THREE. Consols Ditto Account 961 ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS O'CLOCK. PRICES.

The quantity of Wh ea t on sa le in the country markets held on Saturday was sma ll ; nevertheless the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and in some instances the quotations bad :a downward tendency. Malting Barley and the best Flour were held at full prices ; but all other articles met a dull inquiry. We have letters from Now York to the 11th inst. The Flour market was steady at full p rices. Large quantities of Indian Corn changed h a nds on English account. In the Baltic ports, the Wheat trade has ruled firm. Throughout France, Holland, and B e l g ium, a steady business has been doing in Wheat and Flour. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English Grain were small. From abroad we received 21,379 quarters of Wheat ; 13,005 ditto of Barley ; 46,942 ditto of Oats ; 89 ditto of Beans; 1,949 ditto of Yeas; 1,671 ditto of Linseed; 251 ditto of Rape Seed; 28 ditto of Mustard Seed; 1,404 ditto of sundry seeds ; 4,222 sacks and 25 barrels of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this morning's market was very limited, but of excellent quality. Notwithstanding that the number of both t o wn an d country buyers in attendan ce was on th e increase, the demand for all kinds of. Wheat of hom e pr o duce, owing to the very favour change in the weather for the crops, and the last arrivals from abroad last week, ruled heavy. In some in. stances the finest parcels were held at prices equal to those obtained on Monday last • but the few transa ctions re p orted in the middling and inferior kinds were at a decline of Is per quarter. At the close of business several parcels remained unsold. A few offers to ship Wheat from the east coast came to h o a r annmd,by weeksut the business doing was small. Re p orts of the Beixreisstteed oil nce o t f h b e l p ig pa h rat t sti;f in the Wheats were extensive l y s p read to-day.

At one o'clock a Common Hall of the Livery of London was held at the Guildhall for the purpose of nominating and electing a fit and proper person to serve the office of one of the sheriffs of London and Middlesex, in conjunction with Alderman Carden, for the year ensuing, in the room of Andrew Caldecott, Esq., that gentleman having been elected on Midsummer-day, and since refused to serve, and paid the tine. The following gentlemen, returned by the late Lord Mayor, were severally put in nomination; Jacob Goodheart, Esq., Grocer, Thomas Wright Lanford, jun., Esq., Draper, George Meek, Esq., Clothworker, John Hulbert, Esq., Girdl or , J ames Hartley, sq., Spectacle-maker, Thomas Scambler Owden, Esq., Innholder, and Edward Poynder, Esq., Plumber. Mr. Deputy HARRISON then came forward and nominated George Edmund Hodgkinson, Esq., Spectacle-maker, to fill the office, amidst loud cheers. Mr. THOMAS DAKIN seconded the nomination. Mr. JAMES Low said the person• nominated was comma tively- unknown.—(No, no.) lie said that there was nothing like a little opposition, and was disposed to test the votes of the Livery, and proposed Charles Salisbury Butler, citizen and Lorimer. Mr. WYLIE seconded the nomination, and complained that the office had too long been suffered to go a begging. \ THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1850. Scarcely any English Barley was offering, but the supply of foreign was good. Malting parcels sold to a fair extent, at fully previous rates, but grinding and distilling sorts were neglected. Although the quantity of Malt ready for delivery was comparatively trifling, that article met a very slow inquiry at about stationary prices. The demand for Oats was in a very depressed state, and prices were fully 6d per quarter lower. The market was largely supplied with foreign samples. Beans moved off sluwly, but we have no change to notice in their value. Five quarters of new white Suffolk Peas were disposed of at 28s per quarter. Old qualities had a downward tendency. Indian Corn and Meal were neglected, though offered on lower terms. Several large parcels of foreign Flour were cleared off, but the demand tor English qualities ruled inactive.

By sea, from Ire land, 22 Beasts, 100 Sheep, and 50 Calves, were received for our market last week. The supply of foreign stock on offer this morning was seasonably good, and of fair average quality. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were somewhat on the increase, and in good condition. Al though the attendance of country buyers was not large, the Beef trade ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last; the primeA Scots selling at from 3s 6d to 3s 8d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, we received 1,500 Scots and Short-horns ; from the northern districts, 900 Short. horns; from other parts of England, 300 Herefords, Runts, Devons. &c.; and from Scot land, 200 Scots. The numbers of Sheep were considerably less than those exhibited on this day se'nnight. Downs and Lincolns moved off steadily at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs; the former selling at from 3s 10d to 4s per Slbs, and the value of most other breeds was well supported. Notivithstanding that the Lamb trade was tolerably firm, we have no improvement to notice in the currencies. The primest Down qualities realized 4s 8d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was large, moved off slowly at late rates. The Pork trade was in a very depressed state at our quota tions. Per Sibs. to silt the OMII. a. d. to a. d, 1 cd.tos. d.

Since Monday last the imports of foreign Potatoes were ten baskets Irom Jersey, 500 from Dordt, 806 from Rotterdam, 841 from Havre, 30 from Boulogne, 182 from Antwerp, and 43 from Ostend. The supplies of English qualities are large, and wholly free from disease.

Foreign Wool, the quantity of wick in the market is small, and greatly out of condition, is entirely neglected. The next public sales, which are expected to commence on the 22d proximo, will embrace 60,000 bales. The imports into London last week were 34 bales from Hamburgh, 25 ditto from Constantinople, 13 from Copenhagen, 1,000 from Portland Bay, and 900 from Freemantle, together with 124 bags from Ireland. TALLOW. St. Petersburgh advices to the 12th inst., state that 2,200 casks of Tallow had been disposed of, for shipment to Eng land, at from 108 to 109 roubles, being much higher prices, including freight, than can be obtained here. The delivery of contracts had commenced, and several vessels had sailed for England-11,000 casks having been shipped. Since our last report, this market has ruled somewhat inactive, yet prices may be considered steady. To-day P.Y.C. on the spot is selling at :-6s 9d, and for delivery daring the last three months, 37s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow, 35s to 35s 6d per cwt. net cash; Rough Fat, 2s per Sibs. On a show of hands being taken for the several candidates, Geo. Edmund Hodgkinson was elected by a large majority. The SHERIFF declared that gentleman duly elected. Mr. looms Low then demanded a poll on the part of Mr. Butler, which was granted by the Sheriffs, and the Court broke up. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Captain Richard Meredith (1837) died on the 13th inst. at Torquay, in the 61st year of his age. This gal lant officer served 21 years on full pay from his first entry in 1799. He was in the Phcebe, 44, in February, 1800, at the capture of the French frigate Africaine, 44, with 715 crew and troops, in which, after a close night action of two hours, the enemy lost 200 killed and 143 wounded, and the British 1 killed and 12 wounded, out of a crew of 239. He was also present at Trafalgar, and was sent to take possession of the Spanish 74 gun ship Monarca, but that ship having grounded, Mr. Mere dith and his prize crew (39) were taken off by the Le viathan. He was in the Endymion, 40, with Captain (now Admiral Sir B.) Capel, in the expedition to the Dardanelles, and was made a lieutenant August 15, 1806. He was in the Vulture sloop at the reduction of Copenhagen, in 1807; and on his passage home, in charge of a prize, the 18-gun brig Nyd Elven, mounting only four guns. with a crew of 22 men, and laden with stoles, beat off a privateer, after a night. action of 45 minutes, off the Dogger Bank. When attached to the Implacable, 74, in 1810, he had charge of the gun-boats at the defence of Cadiz for six weeks, and was obliged to invalid from the Sybille in consequence of a block having fallen on his head. He was made a commander in 1824, served in the Northumberland, Spartiate, and Cambridge, and returned from the Pacific with dis patches, over the Isthmus of Panama. His last com mand was of the Pelorus, 16, on the coast of Africa. Lieutenant William Swainson (1815), died a few days since at Killiney, near Dublin. aged 47. He entered the navy in June, 1807, and in the Pomone. 38, assisted at the destruction of the national brig L'Etourdie, 18 guns and 200 men; and was employed in Pomone's boats May 1, 1811, in a gallant action of an hour and a half, in Sagone Bay, in which the Pomone, in company with the Unite, 36, and Scout, 18, destroyed the two armed ships, Giraffe and Nourrice, each mounting from 20 to 30 guns, and defended by a five-gun battery, a martello tower, and a body of 200 regular troops. He was wrecked in the Pomone, and next served in the Gram pus, 50, off Cadiz. He was in the Dragon, 74, and took part in the operations on the coast of North America, including a successful expedition to Penobscot; and in the Devastation, bomb-ship, was present at the capture of St. Mary's, the frontier town of the state of Georgia, in 1815. He was made a lieutenant on the 18th of June, and was employed, from 1830 to 1834, as a supernume rary in the Cockburn, 8, schooner, Lieutenant (now Commander) Charles Holbrook commanding, on the lakes of Canada; and lastly in command of the Penguin, Falmouth packet-brig, until November, 1848. Lieutenant William Hamilton Murray (1815) died at Edinburgh, on the 7th inst., in the 62d year of his age. He had served only eleven years afloat, but that period was during the war, in which he saw some distinguished service. O'Byrne says:—" This officer entered the navy in April, 1804, as first class volunteer, on board La Chiffoniw, 36, in which ship, in company with the Fal con sloop; Clinker gun-brig; and Frances, armed cutter, he assisted at the destruction of a division of the French flotilla, consisting of two corvettes and 15 gun-vessels, carrying in all 51 guns. In the Resistance, 38, he wit nessed the capture of the French 80-gun ship, Marengo. and 40-gun frigate Belle Poule. On the 2d November, 1811, he participated in the gallant capture and destruc tion alO gun-boats and 22 richly-laden feluccas. He next contributed, June 27, 1812, to the destruction of a French convoy, and of the Batteries at Langeulia and Alassio--was also present, August 17, in the same year, in a spirited skirmish with a powerful Neapolitan squadron in the Bay of Naples—and, in 1813-14, wit nessed the capture of Port d'Anzo, and the operations against Leghorn and Genoa. .He then took up a com mission, bearing date February 4, 1815, and was not afterwards afloat." It is now understood the rear-admirals, the superin tendents at the several principal ports, will in future hoist their flags on broad serviceable line-of-battle ships, which will be a most desirable arrangement. Such a ship as the Illustrious is just as much expense to the country in her rigging and other et eeteras as a sea going ship would be. Commodore Lambert arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday, and hoisted his pendant on board the Fox, 42, fitting in the basin. She is being rigged by the dockyard. The commander of the steam-vessel Lucifer, Lieut. E. A. T. Lloyd, having had leave of absence granted to him to the 11th of August, Lieut. George M. Jackson (1845), of the flag-ship Ajax, has been appointed by the Commander-in-Chief at Cork to the temporary command. The Lucifer is at the Isle of Man, for the protection of the fisheries. The Amphitrite, 25, Captain J. Macdougall, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning, when she saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief. She has brought on freight about one million and a half of silver on mer chants' account, which is consigned to Messrs. Shaw and Maxwell, of London, the navy wine-merchants. The Amphitrite shipped the treasure at Manzanilla, and took it to Valparaiso, which place she left on the Ist of May. She made the passage round Cape Horn to Rio in thirty-six days, and the passage from Rio to Portsmouth in forty-one days. She was inspected at Spithead on Saturday afternoon, and went into harbour the same evening. She will land her freight this day, when it will be conveyed to the. Bank of England, by Mr. H. Robertson, a the firm of Shaw and Maxwell. When the Amphitrite left Valparaiso the Driver, steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, had just arrived from San Fran cisco, with 200,000 dollars on board. The Asia, 84, wish Rear-Admiral Hornby's flag on board, was at Cen tral America, and was expected at Valparaiso; but later dates have been received via the West Indies. Captain Macdougall joined the Amphitrite in February from the Asia. He shares the freight with the first lieutenant, Walker, who had charge of the Amphitrite for a short time, and gets a small proportion. At Rio, on shore, the sickness had subsided, and no further apprehensions were entertained; but it still lin gered amongst the merchant vessels in that harbour. The Admiral, and officers, and crew of the Southamp ton, 50, were all well; she sailed from Rio, on a cruise, on the 9th ult. The Crane packet also sailed from Rio for England on the 9th instant; and the Kestrel was to sail the day after the Amphitrite for the River Plate. The Amphitrite has had a fine-weather passage home. On the 23d of June, in lat. 9 30 N., spoke the ship Vicar of Bray; and on the 10th inst., in lat. 48 12 N., long. 10 W., the ship Monarch. It is supposed the Amphitrite will pay off at Portsmouth. She was com missioned at that port, after receiving a new bow on Mr. White's plan, in July, 1847, by the late Captain Rodney Eden, who took her to the coast of Africa, and after remaining there about two years, proceeded to the Pacific station, where that much beloved officer died. From the reports we have seen of the Amphitrite, she must have been a " happy ship;" and from the Navy List it would appear that all her principal officers, with the exception of the captain, who was promoted to the death vacancy, are those who left England in her. Lieutenant Godfrey Taylor, promoted from the Cham pion, 14, and a few invalids, have come home in the Am phitrite. - Cygnet, 8, Commander White, fitting at Devonport, is not to wait for the monthly mail to the coast of Africa, but as soon as she is ready is to proceed to Sierra Leone and Ascension, and follow the orders of Commodore Fanshawe, C.B. Vengeance, 84, Captain Sir H. M. Blackwood, Bart., has stripped her mainmast preparatory to its being taken out. We before stated that her copper is in a bad state, and it depends on the condition of the ship whether she will be further fitted. It she requires much repair the captain and officers will be turned over to another vessel, probably the Collingwood, 80. TENDERS TO FLAG SHIPS ON FOREIGN STATIONS.—We perceive that the Admiralty are extending the practice of appointing small vessels to act as tenders to flag-ships on foreign stations. Thus they have recently sent out the Dart, 3, brigantine, as tender to the Castor, 36, flag-ship at the Cape; the Jackal, iron steam-vessel, to act as a ten der to the flag-ship on the coast of Africa; the Harpy, iron steam-vessel, they have appointed to act as tender to the Southampton, 50, flag-ship, on the south-east coast of America; the Netley, cutter, they have sent to Bermuda, to act as tender to the Wellesley, 72, flag-ship on that station; and now they have ordered the Alban, steamer, at Sheerness, to be sent ont to Jamaica, to act as tender to the Commodore's ship 'maim. The Alban is to have a complement of 27 officers and men, who are to be borne upon the establishment of the Imaum for service in the Alban. These tenders are, and will be, most useful for teaching officers and men of depots or stationary flag-ships, their seamanship duties. The Alban has been commissioned at Sheerness by Mr. Ald rich, second master, for Lieutenant Crawford, who is to command her. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Fox, 42, was commis sioned yesterday as the Commodore's ship for the East India station. She is to have a complement of 310 men. The Retribution steam-frigate arrived here from the eastward this morning, to be fitted up for the first class of the steam squadron in reserve. CABINET COUNCIL.—(THIS DAY.)—The Ministers assembled in Council this afternoon at two o'clock, at the Foreign-office. There were present the Marquis of Lans downe, Lord John Russell (who arrived in town this morn ing from Pembroke Lodge), the Lord Chancellor, the Mar quis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Grey, the Earl of Minto, Viscount Palmerston, Sir George Grey, Sir John Cans Hobhouse, Sir Francis T. Baring, the. Right Hon. Fox 'Hanle, and the Right Hon. H. Labouchere. The Ministers were in deliberation when we went to press. IMPRESSIONS OF A WANDERER IN ITALY, SWITZER LAND, FRANCE, AND SPAIN.

SUDDEN DEATn.—An awful instance of sudden death occurred on Saturday morning in Norfolk-road, St. John's Wood. A lady (Miss Smith) arrived there the night before on a short visit. She had been in a weak state of health for the last three weeks, but retired to rest in better spirits than she had enjoyed for some time previous. Oa going to her room early in the morning, Mrs. Laplume found her at the side of her bed, with her arms folded and on her knees, apparently in the act of prayer; but she quickly discovered that life was extinct, although the body was quite warm. Medical aid was sent for, but in vain. It is supposed that she had got out of bed to take her usual camphor mixture. _ _ 'Messrs. Fox and Henderson had an interview with the committee. The committee sat four hours. GRAND BANQUET TO LORD PA LIIIE Et ST ON, BY THE MENIIIERS OF THE REFORM CLUB. On SAtur,lay evening the members of the Reform Club entyrtairicd Lord Palmerston to a grand banquet at their club-house in Pall-mull, to celebrate the triumhant ma jority by which his foreign policy was recen p tly vindi cated in the House of Commons. In consequence of the limited accommodation in the clab•house, the number of guests was strictly limited to the first 200 noblemen and gentlemen who had signed the requisition inviting the Noble Lord to a public dinner. The tables were laid is the coffee-room, a long, narrow apartment with enlarged ends, at the back of the ball, and much ingenuity "i displayed in arranging the tables so as to afford sitting room to even the prescribed number of guests. Th e principal table was placed in the centre of the room, 81 as to afford all prtsent the best chance of seeing 110 ,° 14! ! hearing the proceedings. The dinner, wines, and l the details of the banquet were under the direction of, and provided by, Mr. Bathe, of the London Tavern, who evinced himself a worthy successor of the immortal Soyer, in the artistic skill, accessories, and decorations of the entertainment. The tables were profusely loaded with vases, tazz,s, &c., in which were displayed a variety of fruits and rare exotics; and the large candelabra were also filled with waxlights and flowers. 'The bill of fare, or carte de diner, was as followc— BILL OF FARE. PREMIER SERVICE. Tortue Claire. Tortue a l'anglaiss. ENTREES DE TORTUE. Calipee a la tinanciere. Kari de tortue a Lindienne.
