The American advices have come upon us in such volu minous files, that it is difficult almost to wade through them. The state of trade, however, was scarcely so brisk, and there seemed rather less confidence in the money market. The privAteaccounts from Canada give a most heart-rending account of the devastation and misery occasioned by the wide spreading conflagration, and which it will take years to repair. An important address to the inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland had been drawn up by the general committee, appointed for the relief of the sufferers, and cordially we hope that it will be responded to ere the cold season in Canada re-commences, and the poorer sufferers are plunged into irretrievable misery. In twa days the Quebec people subscribed 11,000/., and the Montreal inhabitants 10,00 W.; but their strongest efforts could not alleviate a tithe of the distress without assistance from home. The weather in Canada had become warm since the thunder and rain on the afternoon of the sth inst., and still continued so, notwithstanding heavy showers and thunder. Vegetation had made astonishing progress ; within a week the colony had passed out of the frequent return of frost and retarded vegetation to all the luxuriance of summer. The fields and the woods were again in all their splendour. Their delight was, however, somewhat diminished by those deter mined swarms of I.lace-hunters, the mosquitos or marin gonins, who had again raised their incessant note, ever ready to fix on their victim and gorge themselves with his blood. The issue of notes by the Bank of England during the week, to the 21st inst., was 30,051,610/., an increase of 134,4951. The bullion was 16,639.3151., an augmentation of 25,395/. The public deposits increased, but those on private account fell off. There has been rather a flat market to-day for the British securities. Consols for the Account have been done at 98%, and the Three per Cents. Reduced at 99. but the demand since has rather increased. Exchequer-bills was at 575. to 595. ; India Bonds at 735., and Bank Stock is at 211. The correspondence between the newly appointed agents of the Mexican Government, and the Messrs. Lizardi and Co. has been a topic of much interest. The opinion of the principal holders here is, that the interests o'' the Bondholders will be advanced by the change. Mexican Stock for the Account was firm to-day at 37 1 ,6. P qtuguese Converted Bonds opened at 66 3 / 4 , and are now at 67 lA. The Spanish Three per Cents are at 41, and the Consols at 27%. Generally speaking, the Railway Shares may be said to be fiat, as the list of prices will show. CLOSINO PRICES. 211 99 1 4 102% 11% 73 ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 2ll 3 per Cent.

FOLLETT This mela,echolv event, which had been daily antici pated during the whole of last week, took place on Sa turday afternoon, a little af er three o'clock, at No. 9, Cumberlencl-terrace, Regent's-park. He had been very restless during the previous night ; his strength was completely exhausted, sot!, in the course of the day his mind, worn out by suffering, occasionally wandered, as is often the case with p .rsons carried off by consurn At his decease, there were in the room Lady Follett, his three brothers, Dr. Bright, and several members of Mr. Pennel's family, in whose . house he breathed his last. He has left six children. This distinguished lawyer was born at Topsham, near Exeter, in Decem la,r, 1798, consequently he had not completed his 47th year. He was the son of Benjamin Follett, Esq., said to have been a timber merchant, by the daughter of John Webb, Esq., of Kin-ale, Ireland. He has left three brothers, and a sister, married to Dr. Bright. One of his brothers is a Chancery barrister. another holds an office in Chancery, and the third is a timber merchant, at Exeter. He was married in 1830 to the eldest daughter of Sir Ambrose Giffard, formerly Chief Justice of Ceylon ; was called to the bar in 1824 ; stood for Exeter, unsuccessfully, in 1832 ; was returned in 1835 for that borough, anti appointed Solicitor-General, under Sir H. Peel's short Adtninistrati‘ n in 1834.35 ; and succeeded Sir F. Pollock, as Attorney-General, in 1844. His abilities as a lawyer, his excellent speeches in Par liament, on almost every subject which properly fell within his department, and his amiable and upright con duct in all the relations of life, are so well known that it is needless to comment upon them. Though a Con servative and something more, for he occasionally unwillingly followed Sir Robert Peel, he was equally beloved and respected by men of all shades of political opinion, and perhaps the Liberals regret his death as much as his best political friends. It may be a long time before the blank which he has left in the bar and in the senate, but more especially in the office which he latterly oc cupied with to much credit to himself, will ba filled up with equal satisfaction to all parties. Ile will, of course be succeeded by the Solicitor-General, and two vacan cies in the representation thus be made, viz., for the boroughs of Exeter and Abingdon. His death will be regretted by his party on another account, for a general belief, and we believe well founded, prevailed that he was destined to fill the office of lord chancellor whenever Lord Lyndhurst should resign the seals. Latterly he had not shown any very strong bias in politics, and we have little doubt he would have been a very impartial and effective chancellor, but judging fro:n some of his speeches to his constituents, it is probable that Sir H. Peel might have had some difficulty in moulding him to his will. We give, as a specimen, an extract from his speech made at Exeter, in December, 1834 : " We have seen, one by one, all that was respectable for talent in public life, or most respectable in private life, leaving the late ministry, until at last nothing was left but a miserable section who were unable to oppose themselves to the destructive part in the State—who were unable to stand before the storm which they themselves were instrumental in raising. It was evident that they were bending to the storm which must soon have swept them away, and all that remained of the monarchy and the constitution. Luckily, by the accidental removal from the House of Commons, of the last and mast re spectable among them, Lord Althorp, his accidental re moval gave the fatal blow to that ministry, and severed the connecting link which held together the rickety machine, which when he left it fell to pieces. What was then to be done ? To whom were the people to look ? To whom were we to look but to the king, the sovereign of our country ? It was for him to act—it was for him to take care that the monarchy should not suffer : it was for him to take care that the constitution should not suffer. He has called around him other men—men whose names are familiar to the country ; a new government has been formed by the king, and the king is now appealing to the country for support. The king can have but one object in what he has done—the sal vation of the constitution, and the safety and welfare of the country. Safe shall we be in moments of political excitement—when danger is abroad—when there is a reckless spirit aiming to upset all that we admire—safe will the country be if we take part with the king, and those who are appointed by the king.": ISLE OF WIGHT RAILWAY. NEWPORT, Juin 26.—The public meeting coiled for this day in the Town.hall, for the landowners and rate-payers of the island to express their opinions for or against the proposed railway, took place at three o'clock in the open space in front of the market. The Deputy Sheriff read the requisition caring the meeting, when Mr. Prins moved Sir R. Simeon, the High Sheriff of the county of Southampton, to the chair. Sir Richard objected; the meeting was called by the Deputy Sheriff of the Isle of Wight, and he war the proper person to preside, which, after some warm words. was agreed to. The Chairman, after explaining the nature of the meet. ling. read some resolutions passed at the St. Boniface Inn, Ventnor, in favour of the railway, and others carried unanimously at a pub. lie meeting at Cowes against the Introduction of railways into the island. Sir R. Simeon then came forward and moved the first re. solution, which was to the effect that railroads were uncalled for in the island, and would be prejudicial to the interests of the inhabi. tanta. Captain the Hon. Dudley Pelham seconded this resolution, to which Mr. Stokes, solicitor to the promoters, moved an amend. meet, and advocated the introduction of railways, which was se conded by Mr. Prins, coal.merchant. On the amendment being put, it was lost by a considerable majority, when the original mo tion was put and carried. Mr. Lancaster, ironmonger, and Mr. Sayer, draper, spoke in favour of the introduction of railways; and Mr. Butt, solicitor, Colonel F. Harcourt, Mr. B. Mew, Mayor of Newport; the Rev. Walton White, and the Hon. W. A'Court Holmes, M.P. for the island, against them. THE BB ANDESTON HALL ESTATE IN SUFFOLK. The Auction Mart was crowded on Tuesday by the capita lists of Suffolk to witness the result of this memorable sale, it being (to use a familiar expression) one of the pet places in the county. This tine property comprehends the extensive manors and the large annual income derivable therefrom, with manorial rights, privileges, and immunities, together with the royal ties and all its consequential advantages. This, with the mansion and estate, was sold at the Auction Mart on Tues nay, independently of the timber, for THIRTY THOUSAND GUINEAS. Some of our readers may be curious to learn the origin of this celebrated place. The creation of Brandeston Fall may be traced by historical record so far back as the year 1530 ; it is erected in the style of our Queen Elizabeth ; is seated on a lawn of great. beauty, with the river Deben quietly pro gressing through its park-like grounds, and full of trout. The woodland scenery is described as quite beautiful; the demesne extends to near 700 acres of land; and as regards the soil, the greater proportion, it is said, is of the highest quality of rich meadow and pasture, and the arable lands produce six and even quarters of wheat per acre. It is let to a must respectable tenantry, and there is a circumstance of such rare occurrence as to be well worthy of record in these discontented times—the fact that the rent of 1,1001. for the farms only is paid without deduction or complaining, and not one shilling of arrear remained at the last audit. To this may be added the fides and quit rents, which have reached from 1001. to 270/. a year, and the residence and park like grounds in hand, worth about 200 guineas a year more, altogether being about 1,4001. a year, and tLis is independently of the consequence and value per taining to the vast extent of spurting (to say n o thi ng o f the fishing), of which it possesses the sole control 51r. George Robins, we have learnt, is the purchaser of this fine property, solely (as we are informed) as an investment. The income, it should seem , , will greatly exceed the interest yielded by Three per Cents. at par, , . and may not be consi • 1 dered quite so safe as terra firma his has been Mr. Robins's proclaimed opinion for the last ten years. and now he h as himself set a good example and acted upon it. KING'S COLLEGE, Li/NDON. On Friday the distribution of prizes, awarded by this institution, took place in the theatre of the College The Archbishop of Can terbury presided. and was supported by the Bishops of London, Winchester, and Lichfield, the Dean of Westminster. Laid Rad. stock, and Sir C. Clarke. The theatre was crowded by the friends of the pupils. The Most Rev. Primate then made a few pretimi. nary remarks as to the business of the day, after which the Professors in order addressed the meeting on the im provement and good behaviour of their respective pupils. The prizes were then delivered in the following order;—Depart. ment of General Literature and Science.—Divinity (senior year)— Edwards, Lynch; (second year) Heywood, Greenwood ; (junior year) Kitchen, Irving.

At the termination of the distribution, the CHAIRMAN rose, and stated that he was sure all patties present would be highly gratified with the many proofs of the good behaviour and the treat improvement made by the various pupils, which was no doubt owing to the very efficient Professors chosen for their instruction, and that he, should Providence spare him, would be ready at any time to assist this valuable Institution by every means in his power. The Bishop of London proposed that the thanks of the company be returned to the Archbishop of Canterbury, not only for his exer tions on the present occasion, but pn many former times. The Dean of Westminster seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. The meeting then separated. ACCIDENT ON TEE BRISTOL AND BIRMINGIIAm Rarcvistr.—.on Thursday afternoon a fearful collision between two trains occurred on this line. The train which left Gloucester at half.past ten for Birmingham, on reaching Camp Hill, came in sight of a train proceeding from Birmingham, on the same line of rails, and ere the engines could be reversed both trains am id i nto fearful collision—one eng i n e being comp etely destroyed and the other very nearly so by the shock. These engines were the finest and most powerful on the lire. One of the engine drivers and stokers jumped off, but the former was severely hurt, having falte=r on his back on the rails; the stoker was likewise hurt, but not so seriously. The men an the other engine escaped. From thirty to forty of the passengers are estimated to have been more or less hurt, but it is not supposed that any of them were dangerously in. jured. The moment that the accident was heard of at Birming, ham everything was done by the officers of the company to afford relief to the sufferers. The cause of the accident is said to have been the leaving •f the Birmingham train before the arrival of the train from Gloucester, a thing altogether against orders. :The whole circumstances, however, were to undergo official investiga Lion last evening. A RUSSIAN COUNT, BIS COUNTESC, AND CiIIT,PREN BURNT ALIVE EY THEIR SERFS.—We have received from Southern Russia the news of the tragical end of Count Apraxin, well. known for his divorce from his first wife. This gentleman, who treated his serfs with unheard.of cruelty, has, together with his second wife and children, fallen a victim to their vengeance. The infuriated people at midnight surrounded his castle, and haying gutted it of its contents, bound the inmates, and set fire to it. The Count, who had freed himself, attempte d to escape, but was overlap.% ered and beaten to death by t his savage horde. T he first wife of the Count Apraxin had married an qu n g arian nobleman, but the Pope would not give his consent to this marriage., which besides was not reezgriised by law, her first husband being still alive. The catastrophe which has taken place has now, however, removed this obstacle, and the union having b een sanctioned by the Holy See, the Count= ss has been received - at the court of Vienna and by Prince Metternich.—Dcbals.

By, the agreement dated 14th Sep tember, 1537, under which conversion of he original 'Mexican debt was eff.cted, which agreement Was ef ectel through your agency, and bears your signature, togeOter with that of the Mexican Minister at this Curt, a certain proportion of the Customs' duties at Vera Cruz *rod Tampico was set apart for the plyment of the interest on the foreign debt. Commissioners were appointed to receive the same from time no time, and to ronit those hurls to you expressly for 1.1 - ,a par. pose in qu:. stion. They have done so ; th dividends have been from time to time paid by you out of those funds ; and the o•um remaining in your hinds is an 111,1 appriated part of the same funds. " That there may be no possible misunderstanding on the subject I extract from the bonds bearing your signa ture the foPowing clause:—_ "• For the better securing the punctual payment of the said interest, the Mexican Government shall appropriate irrevocably thereunto one sixth part of all the Custom house duties of the ports of Vera Cruz ar4l Tampico (Santa Anna Tamaulipas). This portion of the duties to received from the administradors of the CuMtoms by twoCommisiioners to be appointed by the Mexican Govern merit, one of whom to be nominated on the recommen• dation of the agents of the bondholders in the city of Mexico. These commissioners to transmit by every English packet to the agents of the Mexican Government i❑ London the aforesaid funds ; the commission to be paid to the said commissioners for this service by the Mexican Government. " 'line Committee, aeting on behalf of the bondholders, are under the necessity of emphatically stating to you, that there is, in their view, no pretence in law, equity, or justice, whereby you can seek to appropriate these monies to any o' her purpose that► that for which they have been specialty remitted to yoe. The bondholders can have no concern with any other dealings between you and the Mexican Government. You have received these monies under a solemn engagement ander your: own hands, to apply them to the purpose for which they were sent; and the Committee venture to insist that you have no right to deal otherwise with them. " Under these circumstances, the Committee now call upon you, as you have declined to pay over the funds re m.tining in your hands to MessrA.

T;ie exhibition of wo:k of art in Westminster•hall was opened on Saturday for a private view. Our readers are aware that the Royal Commission of the Fine Arts have resolved, avith the sanction of the Lords Commis sioners of her ilalesty's Treasury, that six arched c.:rn partments in the House of Lords shall be decorated with fresco-paintiii,T,s : vett the subjects of such fresco-paint ings shall be idastrative of the functions of the House of Lords and of the :"elation in which it stands to the Sove reign; that th- subjects of three of the said fresco-paint ings shall be person.kfications or abstract representations of religion, justice, and the spirit of chivalry ; and that the three remaining subjects corresponding with such representations, and expressing the relation of the Sove reign to the Church, • to the law, and, as the fountain of honour, to the Sate„ shall be, the Baptism of Ethelbert; Prince Henry, afterwarrls Henry V., acknowledging the authority of Chief Justice Gascoigne ; aid Edward the Black Prince receiving the Order of the Garter from Edward 111. They have commissioned six artists, viz., Richard Redgrave, A.R.A , William Cave Thomas, Charles West Cope, A.R.A., John Callcott Horsley, William D) ce, and Daniel Nlaclise, R.A., selected by the Commissioners from among' tte. present exhibitors in Westminster to prepare cartoon', coloured sketches, and speeimens of freico.pair ting for the subject. above mentioned. But the Comniissionera, not binding themselves to employ such artists on the fresco-paintiegs in the H .use of Lords, and being- desirous of giving a further opportunity to artiste, oth'r than the above artists, to exhibit speci • nicni of their ability in cartoon drawing and fresco. painting,. have opened the subjects to gen ral competition, offering three premiums of 2001. each f. , r the three best designs. Each artist was required to send in a e;,:o._n, 9 feet 3 in:thes wide, by 16 feet high to the poitv of the arch ; also, a coloured sketch, not less than 18 is its shortest 'dimensions, of the entire design repre sented. The cartoon and a fresco paiut4ig, not less than three feet—its shortest dimensions, representing a part of the design in full proportion. These . works, 116 in number, were opened for private. view on Saturday, and ere opened this morning fir public exhibition. -The three prizes have been awarded to J. Noel Paton, jun., Dunfermline, North Britain, for " The S i irit of Reli gion ;" to Edward Armitage, 13, George-street, Adel phi, who carried' off one of the prizes at first exhi bition of cartoons two years since, for the same subject ; aid to John Tenniel, jun:, 22, Glouce,ter-place, New road, for an allegory of Justice. The aWa• dis signed Lansdowne, Robert Peel, Samuel Roge: s, R chard West mama, Richard Cook, SVitli iw Etty. • The tollowirg is the - descrietiongiven.iii the catalogue of Mr. Paten's rise cartoon : " The human soul is typified, under the influence of the Spirit of Relieion. fightiee the good tight of Faith,' and pressing towards the made fir the rrize of the high calling of God iu Christ Jesus.' The Christian -.oul is assailed by the three great principles that en danger spiritual life—the pride of unhallowed and law less domtnatien, the lust of pleasure, and the mysterious tendency towards ill ' • (scripturally) the world, the flesh, and the devil. Fame, on his right, strives to allure him from his enterprise, by the phantasmal pe gean try of earthly glory—the victory in the battle field —th triumph in the city —and the apotheosis in the sacred place ; but he has overcome the spirit of the world, and tramples him under foot. Pleasure, the in sidious parasite, still clings to him, but he spurns her from his side. The fetters of sensuality aril broken ; his aim is a higher destiny ; his course is upward and onward, and he is alike regardless of her lures and of the scenes of revelry and voluptuousness which her at tendant Bacchanal presents to him ; his utmost energies are concentrated to repel the assault of th Evil One, who interposes between him and the re alization of his hope, a hile The Lamb, slain from the beginning, the Alpha and Omega,' extends his helpine. hands ; the angelic swords are bared—the fiend is baffled—and the soul is rescued." There is some very beautiful drawing in this carteon, lent we do not like the manner in which Mr. Paton treats his subject. It would b' impossible to understand the wean ing of the picture without the explanation which accom panies it. It does not explain itself, and might, but for the explanation, be t ken for tt picture of the Ascensi it. Mr. Armitage has, to our taste, treated the subject in a much more artist-like manner. The followieg is the description, in the catalogue, of his cartoon No. 46 : Religion, unfolding her mantle, reveals herself to man kind. The clouds of error recede before the star of truth. Faith kneels in humble wietratioe holding the palm branch, the emblem of martyrdem. hope, with one band on the Gosptl, and the ether pointing to the Crese, bids the captive, the dying, and the broken-hearted look up to religion. end Charity, uninfluenced by human pre judices, extends her proe . etion to the helpless and out cast." This is really a very fine design, and is executed in a most mesterly manner. Callcott Horsley's cartoon, No. 35 (Reliejen exemplified im the faith and hope of the Crocsot Chriet, in the subjection of all earthly power and human distinctions to His will, and in the common depen dance of all estates and conditions of men on His word) which was executed by cenunission. is also exceedingly the, and we scarcely know to which of these two we onght to award the preference. The other prize cartoon, No. 85, " An Allegory of Justice," by John Teuniel, jun., is a production of . the highest order of art, and which is the perfection of allegorical painting—it com pletely tells its story. The figure of Justice occupies the centre of the upper part of the picture ; with her arms extended, she protects a girl and a bey, who have: clung to her robe, one on civil .=ide. The . boy has just escaped from his pursuers, whose countenances bear the expression of baffled malignity, as they shrink back to avoid her uplifted arm. The group ing of the figures below, personifying the diffe rent attributes of Justice, is also very fine, and the public voce well we doubt not confirm the award of the flemmissioners. The cartoon on the same subject, No. 38, executed by commission by W. Cane Thomas, is also a work of a high order of art, but we certainly pre fer Mr. Tenniel's treatment of the subject. No. 41, " The Spirit of Chivalry," executed by commission by Maclise, is by far the best picture on the subject in the exhibition. The number of figures in the composition is very great as may be gathered from the following de scription given in the catalogue :—" The Spirit, or per sonification' of Chivalry, is surrounded by men of va rious pursuits—religious, military, and civil, who repre sent, as by an upper court or house, the final acquisition of her, honours and rewards. Beneath, as not having obtained, though within reach of, the crown, a young Keight vows himself to chivalric services, attended by his h m Page, i an , d in variousinvi g l rale. invited tyhis s lady's favour. Beside, o r around other figures are intro duced ; to connect the a abstract representation' of Chi valry with its general recognition intellectual in fluences. Among them the Painter, Sculptor, awl Man of Science ; the Bard, inspiring youth by his recitals ; the Troubadour and his Mistress ; the Palmer from the Hol = y Land ; and the Poet-historian, from whom future ages must derive their know ledge of the spirit and the deeds of Chivalry." But the most artist-like management is shown in the grouping. The expression of the features of each figure is very fine, and pere.etly appropriate. It is a design to study, aed it requires to be studied long to tho reughly appreciate Its beauties. Of the various pictures of the Belt ism of Et helbert, the best is certainly the one executed by commission by Mr. Dyck', No. 63. lle has avoi'led the fault into which almost all the other exhi bitors have fallen, of waking Ethelbert at the time of his baptism !a - young man. Frank Howard's design for the same subject, No. 72, is also a fine work of art. The only ce n r 3 e , ld i cs i i n g g n on th e subject of Edward the Black Prince coinmiistihoenh3C. W. Cope, who has handled Order , of the Garter is No. 57, exe cuted by the subject in a very artist-like manner. On the subject of Prince Henry, afterwards Henry V., acknow ledging the authority of the Chief Justice Gascoigne, there are numerou s designs of very various degrees of merit. The best, however, is certainly No. 60, executed by commission by Recherd liedgraae.

Both parties exerted themselves, and much excitement prevailed in the parish. At four o'clock the poll finally closed, and a few minutes afterwards the Rev. Mr. Vawdrey, the rector, announced the numbers as follows : For the rate, 840; against the rate, 991 ; majority against it, 151. The rate was consequently lost. A vote of thanks to the rector and churchwar dons was carried by acclamation, and the contending parties sepa. rated amicably. It was stated the next step would be an appeal to the Ecclesiastical Courts in Doctors' Commons, and that the in habitants in refusing the rate were likely to be involved in consi derable expense and litigation. _ .

The gallant deceased was Commander of the Forces, North America, and was on the eve of returning to this country. ANOTHER CHILD MURDER AT GREENWICH —Great sensation has been created in consequence of another child. murder having occurred at Greenwich. Late on Thursday night, as Sergeant Wilson, of the R division of police, was going his rounds, he heard some children say that a young woman, named Mary Ann Eager, living at the " Cavern," under Blackheath.hill, with her parents, had committed murder. On instituting inquiries, he dig covercdthat the report was too true. On going to the house of her father, a working gardener, he learned that the young woman had delivered herself, about three o'clock in the afternoon, of a female child, and that, after doing so, she had destroyed life by cutting its throat in two places with a pair of scissors. That she afterwards proceeded down stairs from her bed-room, to take tea with her mother, and that the latter, suspecting something wrong from her altered appearance, went up stairs, and found the infant lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor.
