On the motion of Mr. BANKES, and with the assent of Lord JOHN' RUSSELL, th' , petitionue interference of the el e ctofors the of Harwich, complaining of a n und officers of the Government at the last election, was or dered to be referred to a Select Committee. The Law of Evidenui Bill passed through Committee. Other Bills having been advanced a stage, the House went into Committee upon the County Courts Further Extension Bill, the discussion of which occupied the re mainder of the sitting. Revelations have again been made, illustrating the necessity of some well-considered and comprehen sive system of sanitary improvement. In accordance xvith the suggestion of the Hon. Baronet the Member for the borough of Marylebone, a report recently , made to the Board of Health by one of their most in telligent inspectors has been printed by order of the House of Commons. And from this document may be obtained a mass of evidence sufficient to satisfy any one of the grievous want experienced by large classes of the metropolitan population, of some interference in their behalf on the part of her MAJESTY'S Government. The district espe- cially selected for investigation is that of Agar Town, a densely crowded locality in the parish of St. Pancras. Turning over the first half-dozen pages of the report relating to this quarter of the British capital, it is impossible to be otherwise than saddened by the spectacle of squalor presented therein to our imaginations. Abodes, scarcely suited in any particular to the most impoverished and degraded members of the community, appear to be jumbled together in Agar Town in the most foul and pes tilential confusion. The whole quarter, according to the avowal of the inspector, " has the aspect of one of the most neglected parts of the metropolis." Even to the appearance of the thoroughfares, if those disgusting channels of offal and ordure can be so designated, the spot presents a view of almost unexampled wretchedness. Dis gusting, nevertheless, as the road is during the drought of the summer solstice, we find it remarked by one respectable resident when questioned, " Oh ! it is n othing now, but in the winter it is awful !" Nor can any wonder be experienced at this abomi nable accumulation of dirt in the roadway, when it is borne in mind that among the evidence adduced, a little further on," it is observed that although " the scavenger cleanses Church-lane, &c., daily, the people state that he does not go into the alleys and courts, and will only remove the dust, &c., when it is placed in the street." Whenever, indeed, they have com plained that " the dust and filth were unbearable," the scavenger seems to have contented himself with replying that it was no business of his to go into the courts and byways. While this habitual negligence is tolerated, it is obviously idle to dream of witness ing any real amelioration of society, or any diminu tion whatever in the maladies which periodically break out to decimate the population of the me tropolis. Doubtless there are many who regard inquiries such as the present with mingled sentiments of con tempt and loathing. It may appear to them a viola tion of all delicacy to enter into these painful expo sures. They would shrink instinctively from a scru tiny calculated, according to their ideas, only to revolt their nature with such detestable and sickening par ticularities. It was against butterflies of benevolence like these that Haznerr many years since directed his noble and withering scorn, when he spoke of them as elm who hated the look of the people, the touch of the people, the smell of the people—nibbles of fashion who would have perfumed the fields with pachouli, clothed Egeria in brocades, and viewed the glories of Nature only through an efferninating atmosphere of coventionalities. It was not thus HOWARD felt when he entered the fever wards and the dungeons of all the most pes tiferous prisons throughout Christendom. It was not thus the canonized philanthropists of the middle ages felt when they tended the victims of " lame ness and lunacy, blindness and leprosy." And it is because we have ever recognised a generous disregard of these repulsive obstacles to in vestigation on the part of the Noble Lord who has recently succeeded to the Earldom of Shaftesbury, that we have always regarded his personal exertions in behalf of his fellow-creatures with such earnest and spontaneous admiration. If, like him, we are really solicitous to extricate the poorer classes from the miseries with which, until now, they have been more or less surrounded, we must despise with equal resolution the disgust evinced in reference to these things by the over-fastidious and undiscerning. Away then, and for ever, with all these petty qualms and weaknesses ! Away with all this morbid and miserable false-delicacy ! Let us look the evils we have to remove steadily in the face, as the surgeon does the gangrene or the im posthume. We must learn to call things by their right names, moreover, if we would not be for ever beating about in a haze of uncertainties. We must arrive, likewise, and that with all reasonable rapidity, at the conviction which can alone enable the masses to rise out of their long-continued and, there fore, perpetually accumulating wretchedness. We must see that if we would effect any genuine improvement in the morality of the labouring classes, we must first of all enable them to live in decency, surrounding them with wholesome means of exist ence, if we would ever hope to see them imbued with pure and lofty sentiments, having more regard for their physical condition and for the salubrity of their homes, if we would ever dream of witnessing their intellectual education and social improvement. Bear these solemn and persuasive truths in re membrance, and we warrant that no indi vidual gifted with even the most ordinary amount of sensibility will shrink henceforth from inquiries such as those here indicated in the report of Mr. GRAINGER. Turning to the 9th page of the docu-- ment, read such a melancholy revelation as this : " At the top of a narrow alley in Church-lane I saw an old hole full of excrement, and sickening to the smell. In this alley are four small dark huts, or single rooms, black with filth, crowded with children and adults. In OLIO of these hovels, in which I could not stand upright, was a poor woman cowering over a few embers in the cold stage of ague, a girl with fever, and, standing at the door, a man who was attacked with typhus last January, had been three months ill in the workhouse, and, although discharged, was still ill and ailing, and his eye-sight so much affected from the fever that he cannot go up any scaffolding, and consequently is un able to get work." 'With such a villanous den as this for a house, how can we look to these poor creatures for the virtues and energies desirable in the industrial ranks of our population ? It is for the transformation of such styes into clean and habitable cottages that we are perpe tually solicitous, and to this end, consequently, we are continually insisting upon the necessity of a grand system of sanitary innovation. The " English Thugs" have again commenced their atrocious practices in the metropolis, and notwith• standing all our boasted improvements, notwithstand ing the brilliancy of our gas lights, in spite of the boasted organization, nay, we fear, that we must add in consequence in some instances of the culpable connivance of the constables of the police force, passengers are attacked, rendered sense less, and robbed in the streets of London at midnight, at an hour when all London is stirring, and when many of the shops, and none of the taverns or other places of public entertainment, are closed. In the columns of a morning contemporary we find the fol lowing letter : " Sir,—Allow me to draw your attention to a high way robbery perpetrated on myself last night. On my going home, between twelve and one o'clock, two or three villains rushed suddenly, I imagine, from a door way, one of whom pressed some hard substance against my throat, whilst the others pushed me down a gate way. I became almost instantly insensible from the pressure producing suffocation, and no doubt I should have died if I had not become insensible so soon, as it enabled them to rob me and release my throat. After lying, 1 imagine, about half an hour , I recovered my senses, and and found F my ndl had been robbed of a gold watch and chain, money, about 4/. I am at pre sent saffering great pain, but hope I have not sustained a great injury. Now, Sir, this atrocious attack was not committed in a by-place, but in a public thoroughfare, a public-house being open and within half a minute's walk; and I would observe that these diabolical robberies are not of rare occurrence, but I believe they are concealed by the po lice. Ido hope you will take some notice of this matter, which concerns the public at large; for my part, I shall be afraid to pass a doorway or any place capable of concealing these scoundrels. I send you my address. " I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully, "July 16." " A SUFFERER. In our introductory remarks we said that we feared that in many case s these robberies were perpetrated with the connivance of the police force, and we re peat the assertion ; but at the same time we wish to guard ourselves against misapprehension. We do not believe that all, or nearly all, or any considerable fraction of the police force, would connive at, or aid or assist, or abet in the commission of such atrocious deeds- As a body, we. know no set of men who act so admirably, so firmly, yet at the same time so tem perately ; suariter in ?nod°, fortiter in re might be their motto, and this description still applies to all the old officers. But within the last year or two there has not been exercised that care and judgment in the se lection of men which had been exercised heretofore, and the consequence has been that on several occasions of late policemen have figured away before magistrates as defendants, and it has been a not un common occurrence of late to find a conviction re corded at the Central Criminal Court against an ex. policeman. A circumstance, too, has recently come to our knowledge which proves that among certain members of the force corruption, or rather extortion, is by no means uncommon ; we have been informed by a person on whom we can rely that on a recent occasion, in which some French and some English were engaged in a drunken row, a policeman took them into custody. On their appearance before the magistrate the next morning, the Frenchman w as discharged and left the police court ; he was followed by the policeman, who stated that as the late prisoner had been discharged in consequence of the favourable evidence given by him (the police man), he should expect a gratuity. The Frenchman, who considered this a very queer occurrence, gave him a small gratuity, and thus the matter ended. But this circumstance shows the ne cessity of the institution of a strict and searching inquiry into the characters of the men con stituting the police force ; the man who would ask a gratuity of half-a-crow❑ from a Frenchman for having given evidence in his favour, would not re fuse a sovereign from a Thug who should ask him in return to be out of hearing of a certain door at a certain hour, and there can be no doubt but that all parties would take care that there should be ample evidence forthcoming to prove that the policeman was most assiduously engaged in the performance of his duties elsewhere. Another cause of the impunity with which the " Thugs" are enabled to commit these robberies is, that although the ratepayers of the metropolis are over-taxed and over-policed, they are unguarded. The number of men enrolled in the Metropolitan Police force is sufficient to guard, and amply guard, a metropolis of even twice the extent of ours, whilst the number of men actually employed in guarding it is miserably deficient. No sooner does any disaster occur in the country, occa sioned by the parsimonious conduct of the " great unpaid" of the provinces, in refusing to organize a police force for themselves, and to rate themselves for its maintenance, than a detachment of the Metropolitan Police force is sent down. Thus, when the extortion and tyranny of the Welsh squires had driven the whole population of South Wales into rebellion, a large de tachment of that Metropolitan Police force was immediately sent down into Wales, and the in habitants of the metropolis were not only rated to maintain a police force for South Wales, but their own homes were left without that guardianship for which they had paid, which W a s trans ferred to the Welsh squires, who paid nothing. Again, during this last week how many of the Metro politan Police have been drafted off to Windsor to protect the Duke of RICHMOND and the fat pigs and calves and other notabilities of the great bucolic interest ! Surely, if the Welsh squires or the English showmen of fat cattle need police protection, they should pay for it themselves. One thing is clear, that we have not policemen suffi cient in the streets of the metropolis to protect us from highway robbery ; and another thing is equally clear, that if the services of all the con stables supported by the metropolitan ratepayers were confined to the metropolitan districts, we should be not only amply guarded, but should be enabled materially to reduce the numbers of the force. We commend these things to the attention of the ratepayers, and hope soon to see a series of meetings to upheld the principle—" The Metropolitan Police for the Metro politan districts alone."

They were received at the station with the usual military honours, and thence proceeded to the Castle, where they will sojourn some days. THE EXHIBITION.—On Tuesday the girls and boys of the school at Havering-atte-Bower, Essex, were gra tified by a visit to the Great Exhibition. Ibe school had been sanctioned by Royalty on her Majesty's accession, who was pleased to hot,our it by a donation of 201. The parish was once a royal residence, and has been visited by Queen Elizabeth. The peculiar neatness and healthy appearance of the children in their new dresses attracted very great notice. They were attended by the clergyman, the master and mis tress, and a company of the parishioners. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, ROYAL GIFT. — Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to present a very beautiful dark African leopard to the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The animal, which was a gift to her Majesty from the King of Geeboon (on the west coast of Africa), has been only a few days in England, having arrived in the Heroine brig of war, now lying at Plymouth. The gardens have at length begun to feel the benefit of the extraordinary influx of visitors to London. During the last fortnight the num ber of visitors each evening has been from 10,000 to 14,000. ASSAULT OF Amts.—An assault of arms, in which almost every variety of attack and defence was exhibited, took place on Tuesday evening at Saville-house, Leicester square. The spacious apartment in which the sports took place was crowded with visitors, among whom were a vast number of foreigners. The programme contained the names of most of the celebrated French swordsmen now in Lon don, and the names of many eminent English boxers. The great novelty of the evening and the exhibition which at tracted the principal attention was, howeve-, the display given by M. Leboucher and other proficients of the science of French boxing of what is called the savate—a method of kicking an adversary in the face. This (to Englishmen) perfectly new mode of attack, as exhibited in a contest be tween two strong and active professors, excited the wonder of those who were unacquainted with its effects. It cer tainly exceeded the speculations of the English pugilists, and is a formidable and dangerous manner of doing battle. The arrangements were under the management of Mr. Green, the proprietor of the place, assisted by Mr. Harrison and other well known professionalists. GRAVESEND.—Yesterday a special session was held in the Town Hall, for the purpose of deciding a question that has for some time past been the subject of much discussion in Gravesend, viz., the liability or non-liability of the Terrace Pier and gardens to be rated towards the support of the poor. Mr. Levy, the present occupier and lessee, claimed exemp tion on the ground that the land occupied by the pier and gardens, on which formerly stood the old Block-house Fort, was extra-parochial, it being Crown property, and that the Pier Company were under covenant to give immediate posses sion of the land in the event of the Crown demanding it. The magistrates, however, decided that the pier and gardens, having bee❑ underlet by the original lessees, and, the pre sent lessee deriving a profit from the ball and concert that nightly takes place, he was liable, and must pay the rate. ST. MARTIN's•HALL.—A selection of choral music was performed last night, under the direction of Mr. Hullab, by the members of his Upper Singing Schools. The masters drawn upon were J. Bishop, Lotti, Horsely, Croce, Reynolds, Croft, Danby, Tieck, Wilbye, Orlando Gibbons, Bennett, Mendelssohn, and Lord Mornington. The pro gramme was, on the whole, very interesting, although somewhat monotonous. The most beautiful piece was a part-song of Mendelssohn, `• 0 hills and vales," which con trasted quite freshly with the somewhat pedantic character of most of the other compositions. Wr ilbye's quaint madri gal, " Flora gave me fairest flowers," was equally welcome in its way, and for the same reason. It was exceedingly well sung, and encored unanimously. A hymn by Mr. Hullah, " 0 God that mad'st the earth and sky," a favour able example of that gentleman's skill in the art of writing for voices, and a part song, " Pack clouds away," by the same composer, even more pleasing and melodious, both met with the utmost favour. The latter was admirably performed, though the former left much to be desired. The whole of the first part of the selection was sacred, and the whole of the second secular. the concert terminated with the National Anthem, which created the accustomed exhi bition of enthusiastic loyalty. The performance appeared to give entire satisfaction to a numerous and attentive audience. REFORM ON THE CAB-RANK.—A correspondent says, that within the last few days the Metropol tan Com missioners of Police have suspended the licences of 800 cab drivers. The Commissioners having ascertained that num bers of the licensed drivers were brothel-keepers and other wise improper persons to be entrusted with the public ser vice, on the last annual licensing day in 1850 gave individual notice that strict inquiries would be made on the next occa sion, and all who were found as above-mentioned, or notori ous drunkards, would be deemed untie persons and their licences reused. The result has been the suspension of up wards of 800. These vigorous measures t. f the Commissioners have astonished the whole fraternity, and several meetings have been held to consider the position of the body. One or two of the New York papers are once more reviving the sea-serpent story. An American captain has, it seems, seen a whole brood of sea serpents, and has even been fortunate enough to zeCtire the head of one of the young members of the tribe. THE SUN, ) 2-j D 0 iN THUHSDAY EVENING, U 17, 1851. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They all comment on the speech of M. COQUEREL on the subject of the revision in the sitting of the Assembly of the preceding day. In the course of his speech, M. COW:JEBEL highly eulogized LOUIS PHILIPPE and his family, and whilst protesting an ardent attachment to the Republic, more than insinu ated that he was no very determined opponent of the re-election of LOUIS NAPOLEON. The speech of M. MICBEL (de Bourges), the leader of the most advanced section of the Mcuntain, is also commented on, and even the re-actionary journals are com plied to acknowledge that M. MICHEL treated the subject with great ability, great eloquence, and great moderation. We give the conclusion of Tues day's proceedings. M. DE FaLLOux had interrupted M. MICHEL (who was protesting against a Russian alliance) by asking whether the Emperor NAPOLEON never threw his eyes on the side of the Cossacks; M. MICHEL (de Bourges) would reply that he had one day thrown his eyes on the Cossacks of the Don, and the flames of Moscow attested how he had re- garded them. At Saint Helena the man was still re splendent in that ocean which formed bis prison. But where was the god, the hero, the saviour who com- manded armies — and secured victory ? He said to himself :—" 1. can do no more ;" and he then thought of the Republic, and exclaimed :—" Yes, Republican I or Cossack."—(Loud approbation on the Left.) He saw appear the barbarism of the north, and he sought a remedy for those who had been his subjects and who were then his equals ; and he said, " The Re public alone can save them."—(Renewed applause on the Left.) The Hon. Gentleman here complained of being fatigued, and proposed that the discussion should be adjourned. This was agreed to and the Assembly rose. In the sitting of the Assembly, yesterday, M. MICHEL resumed his speech, and at the conclusion thus explained what he meant by the Republic : " kle did not want an ancient republic, which was or ganized brigandage, and the struggle for ili-get wealth among robbers. The ancient republics, which were vaunted in the schools, did not acknowledge the claims of labour, the origin of capital, and extorted it by slavery. The republic desired by him and his friends was that of the United States, the unity minus the slavery. Their capital and labour gave one another the hand, and all were called directly or indirectly to make the law. Capitalists would lose perhaps by the Repub lic, but revolutions would no longer be possible. Lyons had been fifteen months under state of siege. He liked the soldier, but he liked him better out of the country. —(Laughter.) lie would not have him employed to set up a dictator. He had been reminded that he bad ❑ot spoken of the abolition of the punishment of death. He would only say that monarchies kill because they are in a false position, but republics can pardon because they are the truth itself.—(Loud cheers on the Left.)" He was followed by P.I. BEERTER, R ho declared that he should look upon the re• election of Louis NAPOLEON as the greatest mhfortune which could befall France next to the triumph of Socialism, and called upon all the friends of order to rally round and maintain the Constitution, unless its revision should be voted by a legal majority. The debate bad not concluded when the post left. The llfoniteur publishes the following decree, dated the 15th, from the PRESIDENT of the Republic, and countersigned by the Minister of War : General Magnan, commander of the 4th military division (Strasburgh), is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the army of Paris, in place of General Barraguay d'Hilliers, whose resignation is accepted. The attri butions of the command of the territorial division re main entire in the hands of General Carrelet, who com mands at the same time the first division of the army of Paris." _ _ General MAGNAN, who is one of the most ardent of the partizans of Louis NAPOLEON, and whose ap pointment has given great offence to all the old officers and to the Members of the Assembly, has re signed his seat as representative of Parts, conse quently a new election must take place, the result of which will be looked forward to with interest ; and as one member only is to be returned the election will enable us to calculate with tolerable accuracy the comparative strength of the respective parties in the capital. The Moniteur publishes a return of the receipts from the indirect taxes for the first six months of 1851, as compared with those of the corresponding period of 1849 and 1850. The produce of the indi rect taxes amounts to 363,660,0001., having been for the first half-year of 1850, 350,467,000 f., and of 1849 334,436 000 f. The augmentation in favour of 1851 over 1850 is consequently upwards of 29i millions, and over 1849 13 millions. The items showing most increase are the registration dues and the stamps duties, in consequence of changes effected by the Bill passed on May 18, 1850. The duty on home made sugar has given 4,233,0001. more in 1851 than in 1850 ; whilst the duty on colonial sugar has fallen off 4,112,0001. The duty on potable liquors shows an increase of 1,874,000 francs, that on salt 935,0001., and the post office department 1,298,0001. ; tobacco sales, 2,846,000 f. ; import duties at the customs, 723,0001. ; and the export duties, 491,000 f. The produce of the sale of gunpowder shows a diminution of 426,000 f., owing to the difficulties thrown in the way of the sale by the Administration, in consequence of poli tical considerations. The collection of the direct taxes has been unusually favourable, the svm received up to the 30th of June having been 175,925,000 f., which gives 43 per cent. of the whole sum to be re ceived for the year, and is nearly five millions more than was due up to that period. The Committee on the Budget was occupied yes terday with the important question of ways and means applicable to the expenses of the extraordinary public works, a question reserved to the end of its deliberations. After having heard the Minister of Finance, the Committee, in concert with him, pro poses the creation of rentes on the State for a sum equal in amount to that set down in the budget of expenses for the execution of extraordinary works, Ne namely, upwards of 50 milli o ns. V read in the Bulletin de Paris—" It has been said that M. THIERS intended to speak in the debate on the question of the revision of the Constitution. This statement is erroneous. M. THIERS has de clared that he will not speak on this occasion." The Moniteur du Soir says—" Workmen have commenced preparations in the principal apartments of the Hotel de Ville for a fete which is to be offered ityto the memb ers o f t h e R oya l C omm i ss i on o f Exhibition of Lond on . M. B ERGER , P re f ect o f by the thec the Seine, is to leave this week for Englaind, in order to make the invitations. It is hoped that Prince ALBERT, President of the Commission, the LORD MAYOR, and several of the Ministers will attend the fete." The Council of State has expressed a decided opi nion that LEDRU RoLLIN, being under is judicial con demnation, would be ineligible for the P residency, but that the Prince Joievikee, although comprised in the decree of banishment against his fanaily, might le gally be elected. The Nemenchas, an Arab tribe in the province of Constantine, have broken out into open rebellion. The Bourse was more animated than is usually is at this season of the year.

MADRID BOLSA, JULY 11.- T' he funds con tinue to decline. The Three per Cents. fell 1 per cent. yesterday. Large sales by a foreign house, and the sinister reports to wb ich the military precautions have given rise, are assigned as the cause.

A letter from Berlin, in the Indepe ndance of Brus sels, says :—" The protest which France and Eng land are said to hare made against the total incorpo ration of Austria with all her provinces in the Germanic Confederation, is the renewal of that already made by them to the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna; and that renewal was considered necessary in consequence of those powers having recognised the Diet and sent representatives to it. As to the protest against the maintenance of the non-German provinces of Prussia in the Confederation, which they have also made, the object is to reply to the argument of Austria that her non- German provinces ought to be admitted as well as those of Ger many. England and France deny the le gality of the decree which admits the non-German provinces of Prussia, and say that such a mea sure could not be legally taken without the consent of all the powers that signed the treaty of Vienna. It is added that Austria and Prussia deny the right of France and England to interfere in the affair, which, they say, is one exclusively German ; and it is even alleged that they have declared in the most formal manner that no foreign intervention can be tolerated." The Praseian Gazette denies moat energetically that there is any truth i❑ the report which has been current for some days past, that M. DE MANTEUFFEL was about to resign the Presidency of the Council in Prussia, in consequence of the extreme reactionary party now considering him too moderate. Neverthe less, it is stated that the conflict between that parry and the Moderate Conservatives, represented by M. DE MANTEUEFEL, is very severe, and some of their journals state that the probability is that the former will eventually be successful. According to the Augsburg Gazette, Austria will not listen to the idea ut a North Sea German fleet. It proplies to pay a certain yearly sum towards the maintenance of one general fl-et, or to form three squadrons ; the one to be stationed in the Adriatic, the second in the Baltic, and the third in the Ger man Ocean ; number one to be at the expense cif Austria; number two, of Prussia, Lubeck, and Meck lenburg ; and number three, of the remaining Ger man states. . Negotiations !ire going on between the Sardinian and Austrian Governments for the formation of a treaty of commerce, Austria having demanded from Sardinia similar privileges to those enjoyed by Eng land, France, and Belgium ; the latter, after having advanced claims to similar complaisance on the part of the former, consented to treat. DENMARK AIND THE DUCHIES. Accounts from Copenhagen of the 10th say that the Ministerial crisis had not concluded in Denmark, but the only remaining difficulty was the competition between M. DE REEDTZ and M. DE TILLISH, as to which of them should have the Presidency of the new Cabinet. The Hereditary Prince of OLDENBURG left Vienna on the 10:h. According to the Lloyds, the negotia tions for the conclusion of a family compact between the houses of Oldenburg, G-lucksburg, and Augusten burg, relative to the succession of the Danish Tnrune, were nearly brought to a conclusion during the Princes' stay in that city. ITALY. In it 3 sitting of the 12th, the Senate of Turin adopted the Bill for laying a tax upon trades and commerce, by 36 votes to 20. The ratifications of the postal convention between Tuscany and France were exchanged at Florence on the 7th. Letters frome Rome of the 10th state that the French dragoons garrisoned at Castel Gandolfo escorted the King of NAPLES back to Porto d'Anzio, as they had before escorted him to Castel Gandolfo. His MAJESTY presented the colonel who commanded the escort with a valuable snuff••box. Nothing has yet transpired about the real motive of his MAJESTY'S visit to the POPE. His HOLINESS intends staying some time longer at Castel Gandolfo. ix'. new pima cal assassination has been committed at Imola upon Signor GARAFINI, Chancellor of the Criminal Tribu nal of that town, in open daylight, at four P.M., in the streets.

SHERIFFS' COURT -( TIIIS DAY.) (Betor Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCIIELL.) The cases to-day were all undefended, and the only point which arose was in a case for goods sold and delivered. Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, and although he did not appear to supp ort his p le a , the onus was on the plaintiff to prove the delivery of each item, which wa, a great difficulty. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said that it was highly desirable that tradesmen should keep some book or account, that the party delivering the goods might sign, for it was very unsatisfactory to trust to na , mory for the delivery of articles, some delivered several years before. He thought that the adoption of a general rule to this effect would be found very beneficial.

The beautiful grounds, delightfully situated on the hanks of the Thames, were decorated with the choicest flowers and exotics, tents and marquees being erected for refreshments. The whole of the bands, cavalry and infantry, attached to the household brigade, the Royal Artillery band, and the drums and fifes belonging to the household infantry—altogether 350 persons, were in attendance, and during the day played selections of music from Meyerbeer, Rossini, Donizetti, Weber, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Mozart. There was a brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion, who appeared highly pleased with the arrangements. FATAL SHIPWRECK IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL.— Between six and seven o'clock on Sunday morning last, the Joseph Anderson, a brigantine schooner of ,35 tons burden, bound from Newport to Bristol, laden with coals, went down on the Culver Sands, about six or seven miles south of the Steep Holmes.

The ill-fated vessel left Newport on Saturday evening at eight o'clock, and first got on the Culver minds at ten o'clock the following morning, where after beating about for a few hours she foundered. The names of the deceased are Richard Holten, captain (who has left a wife and eight children ), J o hn T ope, mate, William Sheppard and Francis Drake (both of Ply mouth), seamen, and a boy, 4 name unknown. Mathew Crake, a seaman, and Charles tweet, apprentice, were saved by lashing themselves, the one to a studdingsail boom, and the other to a couple of oars.
