I r. SHARD 1N CRAWFORD o bjected to the early pr.r vnnii of the secon d clause, as searating families and dividing till" , taernber s from each other. After a few words from Mr. HaisTLEY and Mr. PALMER, Sit JAMES GRAHAM said, that, according to the pro lintit of thi s Bill , no h ea d o f an I r i s h f am .ly cou ld be divided h 4 4 the o th ers w i t h out t h e aut h or i t i es i ncurr i ng ver y se vere nti lics and therefore he thought that the apprehension was greundle'ss.

Sir N J. GRAHAM said that after the observations of the toble Lord the Irish Members ought to be satisfied that the great change for the better. Heretofore Liverpool, I,,ich had a population of 80,000 Irish labourers, and whose 1 7 0 eur it required, could, at any time that their labour was tcquired, ship them off to Dublin in the cheapest packet on b e station at the cost of the whole county of Laneaster, while tins Bill, the town which enjoyed the benefit was charged t w h ith the expense of the shipment, and was obliged to ascertain 'Place of birth, and to send the parties and their families to s uch e ports as were nearest to their usual places of residence.

He should take the leas e of the House upon the question, whether the clause should Nod part of the Bill. Sir JAMES GRAHAM defended the clause. v i, i ' t raogers were ordered to withdraw, and the Committee di "ed• when there appeared — For the clause 37 Against it ,„ Majority fur the clause thihe clause was then agreed to. as were the other clauses, and Bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow at twelve 4e loek.

Brine scot on the .2.2 d ult. to the launch drawn up on the beach, nod ha , Mg to cross a bar to enter Hassan Cove, a sea struck her on the quarter, and hove her broadside on, when another fol lowing turned the boat over, by which accident six poor fellows lost their hvLs Five bodies have been found and buried from the Warspite ; the boat has also been picked up. Orders have been received to send home the Snake, which is at present here. The loss of property occassioned by the fire at Smyrna is re ported at 200,0001. The Duke of Cornwall arrived this morning from England, and will proceed to the Levant in the couse of the day. PORTSMOUTH, JILY 27.—The Alfred, 50, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore J. B. Purvis, late Commander-in-Chief on the south-east coast of America, arrived at Spithead last evening between five and six o'clock. She left Rio on the 4th ult., and has made the passage thence to Spithead in seven weeks and three days. She had seven days easterly wind off Scilly. She left at Rio the Express, 6, Lieutenant-Commander Her rick, which was the only man•ef-war at Rio at that date. The General Palmer, transport, sailed for England four days prior. The Salamander, steam-sloop, Commander Hammond, was at Otaheite, and the Curacoa, 24, Captain Sir T. S. Pasley, Bart., up the River Plate. The Gorgon, steam -frigate, Cap tain Hotham, was at Monte Video, under orders for England; and the Frolic, 16, Commander Hamilton, had gone to Buenos Ayres. Rear-Admiral Inglefield (who has succeeded Commodore Purvis in the Brazilian command) had gone in the Eagle, 30, to the River Plate with Mr. Gore Ouseley, her Majesty's Minister, who had commenced, conjointly with the French authorities, negotiations with the belligerents, in order to establish peace between them. The Alfred brings papers from the station to the 30th of May, from one of which, the Jornal do Cornercio of the above date, we extract the following: " The English brig Racer, which arrived yesterday from the River Plate, brings the Buenos Ayres papers up to the 17th, and Monte Video to the 21st of this month. " We can find nothing in those journals to throw the smallest light on the proceedings of the British and French agents on the subject of intervention, but it appeared certain that conferences had commenced between the French, English, and Argentine Mi nisters on this important affair, the result of which may be shortly looked for. " We have extracted the following from some letters which we have seen : " Monte Video, May 21. " ' Rosas received Mr. Ouseley on the Sth. It is quite certain negotiations have commenced, but nothing has yet transpired, and we continue in a state of the most profound darkness. " It is said that, on the arrival of the Dolphin, which is ex pected on the 26th, the result will be known, but I will not believe it until I see it, for Rosas will be in no haste to decide the ques tion, seeing that his chief object at present is to gain time. It is quite certain, however, this Government knows nothing of what is going on at Buenos Ayres. " lam informed that the English Minister here addressed a communication to Oribe, similar to that addressed to this Govern ment, on she subject of intervention, to which Oribe replied that he was ve-y desirous to put an end to the effusion of blood, and the war, which was fomented by foreigners who had not yet received the prsnishment they deserved ; that his valiant army would re. main uncle' arms to maintain the honour and independence of the two re:iublics, and that until these two objects were attained, they would not lay them down. " As the person from whom I received this information has reason to know what is going on at the Ceritto you may consider it true; and further, in order that Mr. Turner should have no doubt on the sutject, on the same night in which he gave this de cisive answer Oribe caused his pieces cf artillery to be pointed on the town from the Arrayo Seceo, and discharged some 40 shot, which caused little or no damage, hut which was a pretty good in dication et' what may be expected from mediation."' The Alfred having been nearly four years in commission will now be paid cif. The Earl of Haddington, First Lord or the Ad. miralty, who arrived yesterday to inspect the Excellent, gunnery ship, on the Alfred anchoring, went oil board with his Countess, and inspected the ship throughout, titer which the noble Earl and Countess proceeded in the Black Esgle to Osborne-house on a visit to the Queen. The Alfred saluted the Earl with 19 guns. The Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Pretyman, came up from Ostiorne last evening, with dispatches and the band of the Sth regiment, which proceeded in the same vessel on Friday, by Her Majesty's command, to play during the banquet on the occasion or the visit of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands. The Ferret. 6, Commander Josiah Oake, arrived at Spithead soon after sunrise this :marling, from the coast of Africa station. She has heen in commission three years and a half, and will now be paid off. The Fairy (tender to the royal yacht), Master-Commander Thain, after lauding his Royal Highness Prince Albert last evening at Os borne, returned into harbour to replenish fuel and have her bottom cleaned, it being considered that at her speed had not equalled the royal yacht's, something of necessity must be wrong with her ; but an unexpected difficulty presented itself to her being examined, — all the docks at this yard are employed ; added to which, not one of them is long enough to admit the Fairy! It was in contemplation ' to lay her up on Gosport-beach, but this, we believe was abandoned. She was in harbour this afternoon. The authorities do not know what to do with her. The Meteor steam-sloop, Lieut.-Commander Butler, arrived yesterday from Cork with supernumeraries. The Athol troop ship, Master-Commander Pearn, is fitting for sea with all possible dispatch.

She sailed again on the 21st, reported for Halifax. The Pickle, 2, Lieutenant-Commander Bainbridge, was at Port Royal on the 26th ult., all well. PROMOTIONS. Commanders—J. P.

Mr. BETHRLL stated to the Court that he had two applica. tions to make for injunctions, which he had no doubt his Ho nour would have the greatest I:,ieasure in granting. He was moving on behalf of a personage who must have afforded his Honour much gratification when young, and had also added to the amusement of the last year. For some time past a system of pirating had been practised upon this amiable gentleman; the perpetrators of the outrage had been allowed to continue, with out interruption, for some time. The writers of melo-dramas had, amongst others, committed the grossest piracies, and vari ous publications had at times endeavoured to enliven their readers by extracts seem Punch ; but it had lately been disco vered that several periodicals had extracted whole articles, with out any acknowledgment v.hateverofthe theft, and had continued weekly to copy largely from the plaintiff's publication. Punch had frequently warned these pirates that he would gibbet them, if they continued to do so. His Honour was aware that Punch had added to the gallery of illustrious British characters two personages who would be remembered as long as matrimonial discord should exist—he alluded to the renowned Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, and that the latter had increased the stock of Weal literature by her very entertaining lectures. It had been dis covered that many of these far-famed lectures had been trans ferred wholly into the pages of the Hereford limes, and there was not even an acknowledgment of the theft ; but the readers of that publication were left to suppose that such excellent articles could be written by the editor himself. He might with propriety apply the lines of Horace, 0 imitatores servum pecus, ut mihi snipe Bi!em, ape jocum vestri movere tumultus !" It was against the proprietor of this publication that he asked for one injunction. The next application was upon a subject in timately connected with this. It was at all times acknowledged that the public were gratified by having some sort of remem brance of those by whom they had been charmed in b5-gone days—they were pleased at having such features impressed upon their minds. Now this had occurred to Mr. Punch, who, to gratify the public taste, had with his own pencil traced upon paper the lineaments of his hero and heroine; this had supplied a great desideratum to those who had not sufficient imagina tion to bring home to their fancy the great originals. The Learned Counsel here handed up to the Court the picture of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, and begged to call the attention of his Hosiour most particularly to the expressive anguish of Mr. Caudle and the austerity of his better half; in point of fact, every lecture seemed delineated upon her features; there they were in the identical situation in which the lectures had been delivered. The defendants had published a copy of this excellent picture, though he must say it was no more like the original than brass was like gold; still it was necessary to put a stop to these proceedings, and he therefore trusted his Honour would grant a second injunction to restrain the publication of this print. He would show to the court how universal had been its sale throughout the country. If you left town for a short period, and resided at a watering place for instance, there was the letter paper upon which were described the beauties of the place, headed by a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Candle. If a shopkeeper desired to ingratiate himself with his customers, he left a card with a likeness of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, and so in all parts of the country had the pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle been circulated. It was the desire of the plaintiff to hang up the perpetrators of these pit acies as scarecrows, to frighten all those who would at tempt to do the like. 'There were affidavits filed in support of the applications, in which it was set out that the plaintiffs, Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, were proprietors of Punch. His HONOUR granted both injunctions. Daring the whole of the application made by Mr. Bethell the laughter on all sides was so immoderate from this strange variation in the general dulness and solemnity of a Court of Chancery, that it was almost impossible to collect accurately the speech of the learned counsel. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 26. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLARQUI.) IN RE CATHERY This insolvent carried on business as a licensed victualler at Portsea, and was opposed. A former petition had been discharged. In the present Latance the first objection was that the peti tion stated that the insolvent had no estate, when in the schedule he returned goods, debts, promissory notes, &c., to the amount of 211. ; and as the petition could not be meded the petition must be dismissed. Mr. HUGHES said that the point had been mooted before Mr. Commissioner Gou'burn, who said that the objection ought not to have been made, and directed that the debts should be altered to " doubtful," which was done. The Learned Commi-sioner also observed that the insolvent was entitled to excepted articles to the amount of 201. The opposing solicitor said that, with all due deference to the Learned Commissioner Goulburn, he had no power to direct the amendment, it being quite in opposition to the Act of Parliament. The Learned Commisioner FONEI.ANQL'E said that debts might be considered good one day, doubtful the next, and posi tively bad the next. The solicitor submitted that the petition must be dismissed, inasmuch as the insolvent had sworn that he had no estate when it was evident he had. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the only remedy for that was to prosecute the insolvent for perjury in making such a statement ; but he thought that they would not be able to establish it in such a case. He considered that the amended schedule ought to be admitted. The insolvent was then examined at great length, but said that he could not state the particulars of his debts, as he had no books or papers. Mr. HUG HES said that Mr. Scott, a solicitor, who had pre pared the former schedule, had got possession of them, and would not give them up or afford any facilities. The Learned CONiMISSIONEA said that the case must be ad journed ; he could not adjudicate without the books were pro duced. 11r. HuottEs applied for a summons to Mr. Scott, which was granted. The Learned COMMISSIONER said a stop must be put to the system of getting rid of books. An insolvent had no right to give them up to any one, and ought to prepare his own balance sheet on his own premises. At present it seemed that all a trader thought it necessary to do was to hand his books and papers over to an attorney or accountant, so that he might come up without them, and so conceal theta from the Court. — Adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A boy named Robert Prevost, ages is, was brought Lit the Lord Mayor in the custody of Daniel Forrester, and charged under the following circumstances : Mr. Weir, of the office of Messrs. Freshfield and Co., soli citors to the Bank of England, stated the case. The boy had appeared at the Bank about twelve o'clock on that day, and presented a check purporting to be drawn by Mr. Bateman, of Billingsgate-market, for 601. 10s. The clerk who received the cheque suspected that it was a forgery, and making some ex cuse for not paying it, returned it to the boy, who then left the Bank, but returned in about an hour and handed it with some writing upon it to the clerk, who, perceiving that the signature was not genuine, detained the boy. The boy then in answer to questions put to him, said that while be was walking in Fenchurch-street, a gentleman crossed the way to him, asked him whether he wished to earn sixpence, and desired him to go to the Bank and present the piece of paper and come out to him. Mr. William John Donald, a clerk in the drawing-office of the Bank of England, stated that the boy presented the cheque to him for payment. It purported to be drawn by William R. Bateman in favour of Henry Jones. Mr. Bate man kept an account at the Bank. Witness suspected that the writing was not Mr. Bateman's, and seeing that the check was crossed, returned it to the prisoner, stating that ob jection. The boy went away, but came back in an hour with the same cheque, on the back of which was slime writ ing, to the effect that the drawer had crossed it in a mistake. The notification on the cheque purported to be the writing of Mr. Bateman, but witness at once saw that it had not been written by that gentleman. Mr. Edward Bateman, son of Mr. Bateman, stated that the writing in the cheque was not his father's. It bore a resem blance to his father's writing, and the cheque was one belonging to his lather's el eque book. The Loan Mal ox asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything? The boy—l do, my Lord. I was going along Fenchurch -street, and a gentleman crossed over to me, and asked me whether I wished to earn sixpence ? I said yes. He said, then go with this piece of paper and present it at the Bank, and he told me he should wait for me outside, at the back of the building. I went in and handed it to the gentle- Twin, who said there was something wrong in it, and gave it back to me. I then went to the gentleman and told him what was said to me, and he said he would soon alter it, and he took me with him to a public-house, and took a pen out of his hat, and wrote something upon the paper, and told me to take it in again, and to come to him to the back of the Royal Exchange, but when I went the second time I did not see him. The LORD MAYOR—Have you not been there with another cheque? Boy—Never ; I never was in the place before in all y life. The prisoner was then remanded. BOW-STREET. A respectably dressed man, named Lewis John Lemoine, was charged with forging the name of Mr. William Dethick, with intent to obtain scrips of the Portbury Railway Company, value 6 25/. It appeared from the evidence of the secretary and his assistant, that a letter had been forwarded to the office of the Company, 449, Strand, by Messrs. Oswald, solicitors, of Bristol, which contained an application for the scrip from a penon who signed the name of William Dethick, and stated that he resided at Fulham, giving the name of Messrs. Drum mond, the bankers, as a reference. The scrips were allotted, and between one and two o'clock to day the prisoner called at the office, and produced one of the circulars of the company. Be stated that his name was William Dethick, and he had come to sign the deeds and receive the scrips. One of the as sistants in the off ee named Willis handed him the deeds, and when he had signed, he ( Willis) compared the handwriting with that of letters which had been received from Mr. Dethick, and, finding it did not correspond, he accused the prisoner of nut being Mr. Dethick. The prisoner replied that he was. Mr. Willis then proposed that they should go together to Messrs. Drummond's, in order that he might be identified. The prisoner consented, but on getting outside the office he said it was no use troubling him to go to Drummond's, as he would admit the truth, that he was not Mr. Dethick, but had been induced by a person who was waiting for him at Keppel-court, to go and sign the deeds , an d obtain the scri p . Willis instantly sent for a constable and gave him into custody. Mr. Wood, the secretary, stated that he very much doubted whether there was such a person as Mr. Dethick, and it was his opinion that this was an attempt to defraud the Company. The prisoner admitted that his name was not Dethick, but declared that he had been employed by a p erson who said he would wait for him at Keppel-court, to sign and obtain the scrip. He would describe him to the officers, and they could no doubt find him waiting there, or at a public-house in Angel- court. Mr. BING HAM (who sat for Mr. Jardine) ordered him to be remanded until Thursday, and directed the officers to use their utmost exertions to apprehend the other person. He believed the practice of obtaining scrip by false representa tions was carried on to a great extent. MAl?LBO IiOUGH-STRE ET. Thomas Parker was brought before Mr. Maltby, charged with having attempted to defraud the London and Westminster Bank, No. 1, St. James's-square, of 130/., by means of a forged cheque. Mr. Oliver Vile, manager of the bank, said the prisoner came into the office and prsented a cheque for 120/., purporting to be drawn by Mr. John Gough Nicholls, a customer. The cheque was immediately discovered to be a forgery, and infor mation having been brought to him, he questioned the prisoner respecting the possession of the cheque, and the replies of the prisoner were to the effect that it had been given to him by Mr. Murray, a translator of languages, to get cashed. A police-constable was called, and the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner said he was guilty of offering the cheque. He had received it from a person who lived in the City-road, who went under two names--He was remanded. CURIOUS CASE.—An elderly man, of very respectable ap pearance, was brought into court, and placed at the bar before Mr. .‘ialtby, under these circumstances. On the police-sheet, the charge was " Lazarus Jaques, tailor, Swaffham, Norfolk, for obstructing the doorway of Sir J. Graham, in Hill-street, and refusing to go away when required." Police-constable C 188, said he was on duty in Hill-street on that day, when he saw the defendant walking up and down STA.FFORDSFLIEE MAGIS- 1 TRATES-CASE OF ELIZA PRICE. The report of Mr. F. Newman Rogers, the Commissioner ap pointed to inquire into certain allegations contained in the petition of Emza Puler of ill-treatment toward, her on the part of ice/. constan es of t h e county of Stafford, and into the manner in which the magisterial business of the Kingswinford district in Stafford. ♦hire has been conducted, has been presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of her Majesty. The report fully bears out the statements already before the public as to the improper conduct of magisterial business in that district, and is accompanied by a letter from Sir James Graham to the Earl of Talbot, the Lord- I ieutenant of the county, of which the following is a copy : " Whitehall, 30th June, 1845. "My Lord,—l think it necessary to bring under your Lord ship's notice several 'ratters affecting the administration of justice in the county of Stafford, which have come to lay knowledge in consequence of the inquiry recently instituted by me into the com plaint of Eliza Price. I have the honour to inclose a copy of Mr. Newman Rogers's report upon this subject, to which I beg to direct your immediate and particular attention. •' It appears that, in the Seisdon division of the county, two petty sessions are periodically held for the same district within a short distance of each other ; the one at Wordsley, and the other at the Cross Inn, Kingswinford. This concurrent jurisdiction of two benches of magistrates within the same division has led to conflicting judgments, collision, and disputes between the magis. crates concerning their clerks' fees. It is obviously important at once to put a stop to such proceedings ; and I beg, therefore, to impress upon your Lordship how essential it is that immediate steps should be taken to separate, into two distinct divisions, the populous district which is now made a subject of contention between two benches of magistrates. Until this can be legally effected, I would suggest to your Lordship that the magistrates should be en joined to act, by agreement, within certain parishes, or to adopt by anticipation the division, which I learn is about to be proposed by a committee of magistrates. " I regret to find that it has long been a practice in the county to detain prisoners during the night chained at the stations, and even at public.houses and beer shops. It would appear, moreover, that, in subjecting persons taken into custody to this mode of de tention, no reference has been made either to the nature of the offences with which they were charged, or to their condition, or the probability of their attempting to escape. I am informed that this practice, though it has been recently abandoned by the con stables of the police force, is still resorted to by other constables; and I would particularly recommend that, through your Lord ship's suggestions to the magistrates in quarter sessions, such directions may be given to the parish constables as will nce put an end to this practice, which I consider inde fensible. is, at the same time, represented to me that there is a great want of proper places of temporary confinement, and there is goad reason to believe that suet irregular proceedings may, in many cases, have arisen from the neglect to provide convenient lock.up houses; I beg, therefore, to call your Lordship's attention, and, through your Lordships the attention of the county magistrates, to the 12th section of the 3d and 4th of Victoria, c. gS, which empowers the magistrates to erect suitable buildings for this purpose. "Two other irregularities appear in the course of the inquiry, which do not seem to be confined to the par ticular case out of which it arose. I allude to the performance of judicial duties (net mere Ministerial acts) by magistrates in their private dwellings—a practice which I consider open to serious objections, and which I am happy to learn has for some time been decreasing among county magistrates. The grant of warrants also in trivial cases, where the attendance of the parties against whom a complaint is made might be secured by summons, is a course which may unnecessarily entail upon innocent persons the degradation of criminal custody, and frequently a useless loss of their time. lam afraid that the result of this examination proves the existence of dissensions among the magistrates acting in this district of the county of Stafford, which are at variance with the public interest, and in consists•nt with the due administration of justice. " In reference to the particular case complained of, I have learnt with much surprise that Mr. Briscoe, whose conduct the petition of Eliza Pries brought specially under the notice of Par liament, has been in the habit of executing blank warrants of commitment, and of sending them a distance of seven miles to his clerk, by a constable, with instructions which it is not clear were always in writing, to fill them up. lam sure it is unnecessary to call your Lordship's attention to the serious abuses which such an irregular proceeding might produce, or to the injurious effect which so great an informality must have upon the administration of justice. " There is one other point to which it is necessary I should advert; I am of opinion, that part of the irregularity which this case has disclosed, would not have arisen, had she clerks to the magic. -rates acting at the Cross Inn Petty Sessions been Cully qualified persons, and I trust that your Lordship will (seem it right to impress _loon the magistrates how necessary it is that they should be assisted ID the important business which belongs to the Petty Sessions, by clerks who possess every qualification necessary to fit them fur the discharge of such duties. " After full inquiry and consideration, I regret that I cannot avoid expressing my disapproval of Mr. Briscoe's conduct. Ido not attribute to him the improper treatment of Eliza Price, while in the custody of the constable. But I have already expressed to him my opinion that it vas a harsh proceeding to issue a warrant far her apprehension on a charge of common assault, instead of a summons to appear at the petty sessions. His proceedings, more over, as a magistrate, are shown to have been marked by great irregularity. And I request that your Lordship will impress strongly upon him the necessity of exercising great caution in his future magisterial duties, of strictly adhering to those legal forms of proceeding which are important to the proper administration of justice, and of preventing, by a more vigilant superintendence of those who may act under his orders, any unnecessary harshness in the execution of the law. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's very faith. ful servant, "J. R. G. GRAHAM. " Earl Talbot, Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Stafford, &e.. Ike." DISTRICT MILITARY PRISONS. The following general orders have been issued to the Royal Regiment of Artillery :- 1. It having been officially intimated that the necessary arrange. ments have been made for the reception of prisoners at the District Military prisons at Fort Clarence, South Sea Castle, and the Provost Prisons at Devonport and Athlone, the Master directs that, in con. formity to the practice laid down for the army, all prisoners of the Royal Artillery, sentenced by court martial to periods of imprison ment above twenty- eight days, be committed to the prisons esta. Wished within their respective districts, but at those stations where garrison or barrack cells, of approved construction, have been erected, and duly certified as fit for the confinement of prisoners, it is left to the decision of commanding officers to confine prisoners in such cells, if under sentence for any period not exceeding twenty eight days. In all cases when the term awarded is th, t period, they are to be committed to the prisons of the military 2. It has beets arranged that soldiers of the Royal Artillery sent, under sentence of court martial, to undergo their imprisonment in the several buildings set apart by the Secretary-at-War, as district military prisons, or as provost prisons, agreeably to the 28th sec tion of the Mutiny Act, are, for the periods they are actually in confinement, and subsisted in such prisons, to be distinguished in the troop or company pay list as being in such prisons ; but no charge whatever, during their confinement therein, is to be in cluded in the pay list, as the cost of i the subsistence of these men will be provided in the army estimates as a part of the public ex penditure of the district military prisons. 3. In all CUES, however, of soldiers of the Ordnance corps being sent to undergo the sentences of courts-martial in the civil prisons, or confined for short periods in the garrison or barrack-cells established for the purpose, their subsistence not exceeding 6d. a day will be drawn, as heretofore, in the troop or company's pay-.fists. 4. The Secretary-at-War has stated, in reply to the Master- General and boards of inquiry on the subject, that the services of solciers are not forfeited when sentenced to imprisonment, and forteiture of pay, by order of the comm,:nding officer, for periods not exceeding seven days, under the provisions of 52d Article of War. TO THE EDITOR OF SUN. SITS,—I was much pleased to read in your leading article on Thursday a well-merited eulogium on the gallant ,01.iitis who pared the way fr Waterloo, by driviAg the French out of Spain. I ask, Lad those men not fought and bled at the various battles in Spain (almost too numerous to mention), who can say that the battle of Waterloo would ever have taken place? Would not Napoleon have had the whole of Spain, of Portugal, and of nearly the whole continent of Europe, under him in the memorable year 1815? Where then would have been our glory. our Health—nay, what might have been our country—perhaps a dependency o f France—when ail the English people were killed in uefend nig their country and homes from the tyrant? And for sooth, because the brave English, Scotch, and Irish (for whatever the Tories may say about the Irish and rebellion, they never can say ought against their love of common coun try and patriotism when the foe is before them)—well, be cause there were 50,000 men killed in fire years, instead of 50,000 killed in one day, we are to have nothing to comme morate our victories but the remembrance of our fathers' wounds? How is it then that the Duke of Wellington was made (1 think) Marquis of Wellington before the battle of Waterloo? For, according to his own showing, the soldiers (i. e. the privates) are to have nothing, because they did not do their work in one day. And moreover. the valiant Marquis of Londonderry, no doubt recollecting how he had got his decorations, his various ribbons and colonelcies, must needs tell them that petitioning the Legislature is not the proper way for redress! Very likely the Marquis may be quite correct. It may not be the speediest way, but most certainly it is the proper way, for the soldiers of this country who have not votes in the House of Lords. I have written these few lines from feeling myself the injustice of the proceedings. Being the son of one who served through the whole of the Spanish campaigns, and was killed at Toulouse ; and because he fell in the cause of his country two years before the battle of Waterloo, I am not to have a medal, when other men who were at Waterloo, and never in action before, have one. This is injustice. Trust ing you will always speak out through your excellent paper on behalf of the poor, I am, Sir, your obliged servant, Liverpool, July 26, 1845 . T. it FUNERAL OF THE LATE LORD CANTERBURY (This DaY.)—The mortal remains of the late Right Hon. Charles Viscount Canterbury were removed this morning from the resi. dence of his son, the Hon. John Manners Sutton, for interment at Addington, near Croydon. The funeral cortege left Southwick. terrace, Oxford.square, shortly after ten, and proceeded to Adding ton Church. The remains of the late Noble Viscount are deposited in the same vault, near to his father the late Archbishop of Can. terbury. In the first carriage were Lord Canterbury, Hon. John Manners Sutton, Richard Sanderson, Esq., M.P., and Capt. Fowls. In the second carriage, Lord John Manners, Lord Manners, John Manners Sutton, Esq., and Lerd Charles Manners. In the third carriage, the Rev. T. V. Lockwood, Archdeacon Croft, H. W. Chichester, Esq., and the Rev. C. Chichester. In the fourth, the medical attendants of the deceased, Dr. Guthrie and J. Flockton, Esq. The Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, Chancellor of the Ex chequer, joined at Croydon. The body of the deceased was inclosed in a leaden coffin, also inclosed in an outer one of oak, covered with rich crimson velvet and rich burnished handles and ornaments. On the plate was inscribed the arms and crest of deceased, and " Charles, First Viscount Canterbury, and Baron Bottesford, P.C., and G.C.8., died on the 21st July, 1845, aged 65 years." AFPROACHING CHANGE OF QUARTERS AMONGST THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.—On the Ist of September the Ist bat talion of Coldstream Guards remove from Winchester to Portman barracks, the 2d battalion from Windsor to the Tower, the Ist bat. talion of Fusilier Guards from St. George's Barracks to St. John's Wood, the 2d battalion from Wellington Barracks to Winchester, the Ist battalion Grenadier Guards from St. John's Wood to Wel lington Barracks, the 2cl battalion from the Tower to Windsor, and the 3d battalion from Portman- street to St. George's Barracks. There exists at St. Claude (Jura) a rock, abut fifty metres in height, whic h forms a very pictur e sque object. It has acquired the name of the Saut de la Pucelle, from a circum stance which occurred towards the end of the sixteenth century, when a young girl accused of witchcraft was allowed to establish her guilt or innocense by the result of a leap from its summit; and it so happened that, her clo'hes having become inflated, she was borne as by a balloon, and came unhurt to the ground. A few days since a pedlar, in a prosperous way of business, but whose head had become rather the worse for the copious libations in which he had been indulging, ascended to the summit , and, exclaiming to scme persons near, " You shall now see h ow I am going to settle my affairs," leaped off, and, as might have been expected, w»s picked up A corpse.

ANOTHER CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. CAMBRIDGE, Jvcy 26.--Whether the Tory party here have sent forth the report for their own special purpose, that Sir John Mort , lock is about to retire from the Board of Excise, and that the Hon Henry Manners Sutton is to succeed him, I know not, but this can assure you, that the Whigs here are on the look out for a vacancy in the rei resentation of the borough. There are those amongst the constituency, connected with the Liberal interest, who tancy that this rumour has been sent afloat to throw them off their guard; and indeed it has been softly insinuated by certain Con. servatives, celebrated for their electioneering tactics, that if the Solicitor. General be net disturbed, it will turn out all the better for the Whigs at the next election for Cambridge. "No petition now," they say, "no opposition next time." And of course it is to be inferred that Mr. Adair would have a walk over. This is anything but certain, as the slippery character of the Conserva tives of the town of Cambridge is proverbial. Should the vacancy occur, the election, whether a contest or a walk over, would not take place till next year. The session is now drawing to a close. Sir Robert Peel knows better than to risk another trial of strength at this moment at Cambridge, with Adair in front of the Liberal array. Mr Sutton's appointment would, there fore, take place during the recess, and the writ would not be moved for until after the opening of the next session. The Cambridge Conservatives would its the meantime look to the registration isretty sharply, although with very little chance of increasing their number of votes beyond what they muster at pre sent, their strength being two or three dozen below the Whigs. " The Board of Works," as the Cambridge Independent Press called the choice band of Thebans who " worked" the battle for the Solicitor-General during the last half hour, and achie►ed the victory, are terribly afraid of a petition. There is plenty of ground to go on ; for the " business" that was going on was notorious. A Barnwell man, a celebrated dog fancier and dog seller, and who keeps a fast nag or two for the purposes of other fancy business (g rudet equis canibusque), came up to a most respectable man on the Whig side on Parker's Piece, at halt-past three on the day of polling, and offered thirty votes of his gang for 51. a-piece. " The Conservatives," said he, " are giving ten, we will sacrifice five to our principles, we will sacrifice no more; for, when our neighbours are getting paid before our eyes for their votes, we cannot afford to give ours for nothing." This disinterested patriot's offer was re fused. Mr. Fitzroy Kelly knew nothing about the work which his kind friends were engaged in during the last moments of the con. test. Of course not I You have heard the story of his carriage having been ordered at half-past three, so sure was the poor sitnple man of being defeated. It is no joke. The order was given by the great man himself, in a tone of forensic solemnity, and with an air of seemingly sincere distress, quite Kelly-ish. SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—Mr. Hudson has announced Lis resolution to contest this borough, and has published an ad dress, in which he gives the following as his political pro fession of faith :—" My political opinions are chiefly in ac cordance with those of her Mbjesty's present advisers, but whilst I shall endeavour to support and maintain unimpaired our glorious Constitution, 1 shall be ever ready to assist in reforming abuses, and in effecting all practical reductions in public expenditure."; He will be in Sunderland to-day. Colonel Thompson is assiduously engaged in canvassing, and his friends speak most confidently of his success. TIIE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 27.—The Oriental Company's steam-ship Queen, Captain Russell, arrived in the docks at one o'clock A at. this day from Gibraltar, and landed the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails in time to be forwarded to London by the two o'clock ♦.M. mail train. The dates are Gib. raltar July 18, Cadiz 19, Lisbon 21, Oporto and Vigo 22, and Corunna 23. The Queen brings a lull cargo of fruit and some specie, and 28 passengers. The same Company's steam-ship Orb ntal, Captain Soy, c‘ime into the docks this morning from the Motherbank, where she arrived from Alexandria on Friday even ing, and the East India and China mails were dispatched to London the same night. The Oriental left Alexandria July 10, Malta 15, and Gibraltar 20. She had 48 passengers and a very full cargo. The following ships were at Malta :—Her Majesty's ships Formid able, Polyphemus, Virago, and Volcano. At Gibraltar, her Ma. jesty's brig Fantome, and Flamer steamer. At Alexandria, the French steamer Gomer. BOCKET PRACTICE IN WOOLWICH MARSHES.-A large detachment of Crptain Turner's company of the Royal Artil lery, urn,er orders for New Zealand, have been employed in going through a course of laboratory instructions previous to their tm i arkation, and on Saturday morning attended in the marshes under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K.H., with Captain Henderson and Lieutenant the Hon. W. Yelverton, to practise with rockets. Major Strangways, commanding the rocket troop, with Lieutenant Willan and a portion of the rocket troop, were present to give instruction in that eranch of the service, and the whole of the practice, which was carried on by the noncom missioned officers and men of Ceptarn Turner's company, was ex cellent. The rockets were six pounders from Boxer's tubes, at 600 yards, and a salvo of tour rockets at the same distance. A number of six.pounder rockets were also fired from the tubes at 700 yards range, and a number of 12-pounder rockets at 1,000 yards range. The officers in command expressed themselves highly placed with the practice. SPORTING. (PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) The Goodwood Meeting, the first in England, and conse quently the first in the world, commences to-morrow and concludes on Friday. Th e programme is of unparalleled length, and the presence o f so popular and amiable a monarch as the King of the Netherland:4 cannot fail to add to the numerous attractions provided tor the visitors. lam of opinion that nothing con tributes more to the stability of racing abroad than the pre sence of foreign monarchs and princes at our principal meet ings. They cannot fail to be struck with admi ration at the manner in which they are carried on. The symmetry of the horses, the elegant dress of the jockies, the punctuality with which the races are run, and the instanta neous method adopted of making the name of the winner known to the assembled thousands, must make a deep im pres:4on on their minds, and cause them to endeavour as ouch as possible to render their own meetings similarly attractive. _ Ou Tue,day eleven' races will be found on the card, the first of which will be the Craven Stakes, for which the entries close this evening. _ _ The second will be the Lavant, for two year olds. Out of the 31 animals named for this stake, I expect to see at the post Cherokee, Princess Alice, Madcap, Sotades, Sting. Fair Helen, Collingwood, Tugnet, and Cambaules. Of these Sting, I think, will find himself in very different company from what he met at Ascot, and Tugnet's victory at Gorham bury is not a sufficient one to render her likely to beat Cherokee. Madcap's winning has been so in and out lately that I ca•,not fancy her. Sotades I do not like . Fair Helen comes from a stable in which the horses are full of running, but that is her only claim to public favour. Cherokee is the best two year-old that has been out this season, an d, moreover, is a capital starter. Cambaules is dark, but such is my preference for Mr. Wreford's two year olds on this course, that I have. no hesitation in naming his horse as the winner of the race, provided he can beat Cherokee. Between the two it is sure to be a severe race, and, from the prestige attached to former races, I lean to Mr. Wreford, with his son of Camel. The Sweepstakes of 3 00 soya. will be walked over for by Collingwood. The great Four-year-old Stakes of 300 sous. each, by the rumoured absence of the Ugly Buck, who had been kept for this stake, will be reduced to a match between The-Devil. to-Pay and Joe Lovel. From a recollection of their previous doings, and the Devil's running at Gorhambury last year, I have no doubt my reader s will see him put down as the winner of this valuable stake. In the Gratwicke, the Merry Monarch will only find one or two antagonists, and those he should dispose of without the slightest difficulty. For the 11am Stakes there is sure to be a very large field ; e.„lstil)l,t‘irl'eQte:r.uceee will not but, as Princess Alice has lost her running, I think there is nothing likely to beat Witsend unless it is Tugnet, whose victory at Gorhambury, it must be borne in mind, was over a very moderate field.

Witness was called, and on requesting the defendant to go away, the defendant said he came to see Sir James, and if he waited a month he would see him. The defendant added, if witness took him away, as soon as he regained his liberty he would return. Inspector Squires said Sir James Graham and Colonel Rowan had been informed of the occurrence, and the case had been sent to this court, as some suspicion existed that the de fendant was not quite right in his mind. The defendant had with him a large book, which apparently related to parish accounts. Mr. MALTBY asked the defendant what explanation he had to give ?—The defendant said he was hard of bearing, and be fore he could give an answer he must first know the nature of the charge. The charge having been explained to him, he said he had filled the office of overseer of Swaffham. and having gone out :of office, he was anxious to have the accounts operly investigated. He had written to the Poor law Commissioners, but they had refused to in terfere ; be had applied to the magistrates, but they would not act ; and he had, therefore, come to town to ask Sir James Graham to compel the Poor-law Commissioners to investigate the accounts, as he believed it would turn out he had been de frauded of 41. To questions from the magistrate, the defendant said he ar rived in town on Sunday week, and he lodged at No. 6, Edward street, Blackfriars. The book he had with him belonged to the parish. He had called at Somerset House, but the Com missioners would not see him, and he had accordingly written to Sir James Graham, but had received no answer. Air. MALTBY gave instructions to the inspector to see that the defendant was placed in the care of his friend!. IRELAND. WEXFORD REPEAL DINNER TO O'CONNELL. WExEoriu, WEDNESDAY.—This day Mr. O'Connell, Dr. Gray, and Mr. Steele, were entertained at a public dinner in Wexford. They were escorted into the town by a " monster procession," con stituted according to the form observed at Cork, Kilkenny, and other places in which public dinners were lately given. Mr. O'Connell left Dublin on Tuesday morning early, and stopped to breakfast at the village of Bray. The inhabitants, in anticipation of this visit, had prepared an address, which they intended to pre sent to him, but they were greatly disappointed when he declared he would not receive any address on his route, as the delay occasioned thereby might disarrange the general plan of operations. They passed through the towns of Ark low, Gorey, and Fearns, and arrived at En. niscorthy about eight o'clock last evening. The demonstrations along the line were highly complimentary to Mr. O'Connell, who was met at the outlets of all the towns by bands, processions, Sic. From an early hour this morning the town was all bustle, most of the shops were shut, and business was suspended for the day. Shortly after twelve o'clock Mr. O'Connell joined the procession about four miles from Wexford. The road taken by the procession was covered for a distance of two miles, and Mr. O'Connell's estimate of the numbers present was 200,000. Probably one-fourth the amount would be nearer the truth, as it would give more than one half the entire male popuOtion of the county. The procession passed through Wexford from three to four o'clock, and moved off to a spacious field in the outlets, where a platform was erected. A large party of the peasantry had assembled. THE MEETING. John Hyacinth Talbot, Esq., was called to the chair, and Mr. Green, editor of the Wesford Independent, appointed to act as secretary. Mr. TALHGT, in thanking the meeting for the honour conferred on him, observed, although he had been deprived of legal autho. rity, which his countrymen would acknowledge and obey, when he called upon them to keep the peace, and refrain from all acts not strictly legal and constitutional. Mr. GREEN read a petition to Parliament, praying for the repeal of the union, and also a declaration agreed to recently by the Repeal Club, to the effect that it would never desert the cause of repeal; and he moved that the county of Wexford adopt that pledge as its own. The motion was carried. Mr. O ' CONNELL then came forward, and was received with a long and loud shout of applause. He commenced by adverting to the majestic meeting around him. He never felt more delighted on any occasion—(A voice " more power.") More power to Ireland (continued Mr. O'Con. nell), that was one of the most striking incidents of his varied life. He had seen nature in all her loveliness, and most attractive forms, the majestic landscape from Enniscorthy to Wexford—lts hill and dale, mountain and valley—the noble river Slaney carrying on its tranquil surface the produce of the surrounding district, with the waves of the ocean in the distance, and the rich fields of waviog corn in all directions—this was a combination unequalled in any other part of the country. But there was something still far more impressive—the tens and twenty thousands—and he verily did believe that 200,000 stalwart men and lovely women all combined in one inspiration that Ireland should be free.—(Cheers.) Men of Wexford, Ireland should be free.—(Cheers.) Did they pledge themselves to assist him ?—(Cries of "We will.") Let every man who was ready to stand by Ireland lift up his hand (all hands raised). Let every man resolve to follow out his present intention of working for Ireland. Their triumph was to be attained by perfectly peaceful and constitutional means, for by such means did he su , ,ceed in gaining Catholic emancipation. By com bining peaceably and legally, the day would not be far distant when they would be called upon to return six Members for the county of Wexford to the Irish Parliament in College-green.— (Cheers.) It was net from a feeling of pride that he wished for the repeal of the union, but from a conviction of the foul way that measure was carried, and its evil effects upon Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) They all objected to the continuance of the Union. They would presently hear a resolution proposed, which would call upon them to record their opinion on the subject. They had one Mem ber, Mr. James Power, who declared himself a repealer; but he had not made a public statement to that effect, because he said he had never been called upon by his constituents. Now he declared that if Mr. Power did not publicly declare himself, and take his place in Conciliation-hall, he should not again represent the county of Wexford.—(Hear, hear.) He loved his ( Mr. Power's) father; but if his own brother, or his son, John O'Con nell, did not take his place in Conciliation.hall, he would vote against him.—(Hear, hear.) The time was come when they should all work ; they should not be longer satisfied with hurraing and screeching, but proceed at once to the registry. He did not think his friend the Right Rev. Dr. Kennedy would be angry with the priest who attended the registry of Repealers—ot friends of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution would be known to Sir T. Esmond to.morrow. Although the Hon. Baronet was a near relative of his, he would, if an election took place to-morrow, come down to canvass against him unless he declared for repeal.— (Hear.) No man should represent Wexford who was not also a member of the Repeal Association, and who did not take his place in Conciliation-hall. At the next election they would return four Members for Wexford; and he had no doubt that if all the rest of ',a1...a atri :t. arty eoually well with that county, there would be seventy repeal Members for !rennet.— (rheers.) He then ex pressed his dissatisfaction with the three other Liberal Members— Captain Gore for New Ross, and Captain Hatton, one of the county Members, and he gave them verbal notice to quit if they did not soon appear at Conciliation-hall. The resolution was passed. After some business of no interest the meeting separated. THE DINNER. The dinner was given in a spacious building, hitherto used as a timber-yard. It was covered with canvass, lighted with gas, and decorated with the banner: used at the procession in the morning, together with some others of a unique description. Covers were laid for 800, and fully that number of persons sat down. The chair was occupied by John Maher, Esq., of BallinkeeL The usual loyal t oasts having been drank, The SECRETARY read a number of letters of apology, amongst which were letters from Dr. M'Hale, Dr. Cantwell, and Mr. Ffrench. After the toast of " The People," " The Health of O'Connell" was given with three times three. The Honourable and Learned GENTLEMAN then adverted in glowing terms to the grand demonstration of that day. Every one knew how the union was carried—terms were made with Ireland, but they were like the conditions offered by the robber with a pistol at his victim's breast, "Your purse or your life." The English Ministry no longer asserted that Ireland could be managed with safety as formerly—no longer could the British empire be considered safe, while such a plague spot remained in her ; but the disease could be remedied by doing justice to Ireland. England talked of her humanity ; but did Ire land ever experience it ? No nation ever treated another with such barbarity as England did Ireland, and her ancient history would be the record of the deeds at the present day ; but it was no longer safe to continue them.—( Hear, hear.) The English newspapers were very angry with the French Colonel Pellissier for the smother ing of eight hundred Arabs in Africa, a few weeks ago. He (Mr. O'Connell) did not mean to palliate that atrocious offence, but the English had no right to speak of it as something novel. How had they treated the Irish at all times, while they had the power of oppressing them ? He would quote from " Ludlow's Memoirs " a scene which formed an exact parallel with that of Pellissier's.— [He then read a passage from the " Life of Ludlow,' in which that General published a dispatch, giving an account of his be sieging some twenty or thirty Irish rebels in a cave at Dun dalk. When one of his soldiers appeared at the entrance he was shot. Orders were then given to smoke them out, the result of which was, that about twenty were destroyed.] There, said Mr. O'Connell, was English history for them. He next told the story of the massacre at Drogheda by Cromwell, and then came to the slaughter of the 300 ladies in Wexford—the old story, and well adapted to make a sensation. Yes ; he stated in a public meeting in London that 200 ladies had been slaughtered at the foot of the cross in the Bullring, at Wexford, whither they had fled for protection from the brutal soldiery of the English corn. mander.—(Sensation.) The Standard newspaper charged him with telling a lie on this subject ; he admitted there was lying, but the lie was with the scoundrel himself. He (Mr. O'Connell) had brought them the History of England, by Dr. Lingard, the only just and impartial historian of England. He read the extract and continued. Now, the army of Cromwell, which com mitted the slaughter in Wexford, were formed of English of the first water, and they would do it again if they dared.--(Hear, hear.) Let the meeting look at the gallery, and ask would such a slaughter be again perpetrated ?—(No, no.) No ; he was sure there was not a man there that would be the survivor of such another act. They, however, dared not—would not attempt it, for it was no longer safe.—(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing " The Health of the Chairman," who was formerly one of the I representatives of Wexford county. Mr. MAHER returned thanks. The healths of Mr. Steele, Dr. Gray, and the other repeal mar tyrs, was drunk. Mr. STEELE, lin returning thanks, adverted to his labours as Head Pacificator, which he conceived had been very successful. Dr. GRAY next addressed the meeting. The Rev. Father Sescsorr spoke to the toast of repeal. He gave a gloomy picture of the state of Ireland, which lie charged upon Great Britain, and he said that it was only a pauper Sovereign who should reign over a pauper people. Be would forget much of the misdeeds of England, but one crime she had committed that would never be forgiven in Ireland—never be forgotten—the incarceration of the Liberator.—(Cries of " Never.") Let history tell its story— let tradition hand down the fact, that the greatest man living was persecuted, as they hoped to the death ; but they were disappointed. His reverence concluded by calling on the men of Wexford to exert themselves at the registry for the enrolment of repealers. The next toast was. " The County and Borough Members. — (Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") The CHAIRMAN said those gentlemen had fully discharged their trust up to the present. In a day or two they would be made ac quainted with the resolution that day passed, and the people of Wexford should give a fair time to ascertain the course they would pursue hereafter. Mr. JAMES POWER, M.P., returned thanks. He declared him self favourable to the question of repeal, and sat down amidst cheers and disapprobation. meTnh,,e,hCosirealtißaMmkeNs were et beforep i Op heidm,t.

CLONNEL.—(FROM A CORREiPONDENT.)—The assizes for the South Riding of Tipperary closed yesterday. There were only 25 prisoners ; all the cases, with the exception of a very bad one, were of a trivial nature—in fact, Tipperary is at this moment in a quieter state than any county in England.

CHEAP RAILWAY TRIPS-PLEA- SURE TRAINS. (From the Manchester Guardian.) During the present fine summer weather the cheap trains for pleasure trips on the various railways having termini in Manchester have greatly increased, and we are glad to find that the Liverpool and Manchester Rail way Company, the last in the field, have already begun to discover how much may be gained by concessions to the grocing spirit of the times. The junction of the Leeds and Liverpool lines has enabled tho good folk • of Yorkshire to enjoy many a delightful pleasure trip to Manchester and Liverpool. One or two recent instances way be noted. On Saturday last there were cheap trains from Hali fax, via Mai chester, to Liverpool, and back to Halifax the same evening. The trains consisted of all three classes of carriages, and the fares, we believe, were re spectively 7s. 6d., ss. 6d., and 3s. 6d., from Halif a x to . _ Liverpool and back. There were upwards of 900 passen gers by these trains, which started at an early hour in the morning, and returned in the evening, giving the Yorkshire people several hours to see the Great Britain, and the other lions of Liverpool. „ ,_ On Monday there were similar cheap trains, at the tame rate of fares, from Elland to Liverpool and back. There were two trains, which conveyed, in thirty-seven carriages, no fewer than 1,300 persons frem E; hind and the neighbourhood to Liverpool, returning to Elland ihe same evening. The distance fr.rn Ellaud to Liverpool is about 62 miles, so that for 3s. 6d. many hundreds en joyed a railway trip of 124 miles, besides the sight seeing in Liverpool, sailing on the river, &c. On Saturday and Sunday the usual cheap trains from Manchester to Liverpool and back were more crowded than usual. On Saturday between 2,000 and 3,000 persons went by these trains—the fare in the open waggons with seats being two shillings and sixpence to Edgehill (Liverpool) and back ; and on Sunday there were no fewer than 4,081 persons left Manchester for Liverpool, to return by the cheap trains of Sunday even ing or Monday morning. It is said that on a mo derate computation there could not be fewer than 7,000 strangers in Liverpool during Saturday and Sunday last, all brought by the cheap trains. The Liverpool Titnes states that :—" On Sunday, cheap trains brought hither from Manchester about 7,000 persons, who perambu lated the town in crowds, and took excursions to Cheshire, the Rocklight, the floating-light, &c. The extreme beauty of the day also brought out an immense number of the inhabitants of the town in search of fresh air, and the consequence was, that the steamers on the river were from morning to night crowded to excess." The Manchester and Birmingham Railway having only at present the large towns of Manchester and Stockport upon the line, does not offer such varied at tractions to large populous communities; but we believe that during Sunday no fewer than 2,000 persons visited Alderley Edge from Manchester and Stockport. On Monday two cheap trains arrived at Liverpool, from Bristol, one having thirty-one carriages, and the other eighteen. This is a striking instance of the extension of these cheap trips, and we can well understand the curiosity of the Bristolians to see a port which has far surpassed their own in the race of success and prosperity, though Bristol long held the position of the second port in the United Kingdom. We do not find any account of this arrival from the port of the West of Englar:d in the Liverpool papers, and have not heard the numbers, but forty-nine carriages would contain more than 2,000 persons. We have not heard of any cheap trips by the Sheffield and Manchester Railway; but it must be remembered that that line is not yet opened throughout, and that the company have to engaga:coaches for — the distance of 31 miles. When the tunnel is completed, we shall doubt less have a visit from the Shevvield grinders, and our Manchester artisans and others would find much to in erest them in the romantic scenery along the line and in the town of Sheffield. There have been some cheap trips to Fleetwood, &c•.; but from some cause or other they do not obtain any very large share of the public favour. It is now clear that railway companies generally are finding their account in the providing iLcreased facili ties cheap trips to the large mass of the people. We rejoice in this extension of cheap travelling, as a great moral agent. Those who go from home and see new scenes of town and country, have an interest excited in what lies beyond their daily view; their minds are enlarged; they read of what they have seen ; they icquire a relish for this new pleasure ; they become sober and economical, that they may the oftener enjoy this purer sour,* of excitement end recreation; they become more domestic in their enjoyments, as new scenes are doubly delightful in the e.inpany or those we love ; while the dram-ship and beer house are sought .hietly for selfish and exclusive gratification,few men,ho w ever besotted themselves, desiring to have the company of their wives and children there. In all these various respects, too, the cheap-trip enjoyment is promoting the improved sanitary condition of its partakers ; for sobriety, more food and of better quality, more and purer air, more bracing exercise, and the more healthy tone of mind, which result from the desire of this weekly enjoyment ; influencing all the arrangements and expenditure of a family, are the natural sanitary consequences of this desirable change in the habits of the working classes in such towns as Manchester. Since the above was written, we see that on and after Sunday next the fares to Liverpool (Edgehill) and back, by the Sunday waggon trains, are to be raised to 4s. each, while the fare by the trains leaving Manchester on Saturday afternoons and returning the same evening, or on Monday morning, is to continue 2s. 6d. It is clear that the company's ob ject is to discourage Sunday travelling ; and, with the view of providing for the pressure on the Saturday and Monday trains, an additional waggon train is to be dispatched from Manchester at seven on Saturday even ing, returning from Edgehill station, Liverpool, at seven on Monday morning. Parties may therefore go to Li verpool by the cheap trains on Saturdays, at three p.m. or seven p.m., and return on Mondays at seven a.m. or nine a.m. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JULY 25.—A considera ble business has been done in Foreign Wools, of nearly all de scriptions and qualities, this week, and as the purchases made are almost exclusively to supply the immediate wants of the manufacturers, there appears every prospect of a continuance of the present fair demand. Prices retrain very firm. ENGLISH WOOL. MARKET, LEEDS, Jinx 25.-1 n Combing and Clothing Wools the prices are firm at late quotations, and the demand is steady for the supply of the current requirements of the manufacturers. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JULY 25.—We have had few sales passing this week in combing wools—the trade is in a most unsatisfactory state. The prices asked here are less than is now giving to the grower ; and yet our manufacturers state that, from the low price of yarn, they cannot give our present prices. This discrepancy bassiii the price to the grower and consumer cannot continue, and it is impossible yet to say how it will turn. Short wools are in good request at firm prices, but not equal to what is given to the grower in the southern counties. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY ;24.—We have had but a moderate show of wool, with rather a slow sale, at th, following prices :—hog lbs. ; hog and ewe 14s. to I.ls. 3d. ; locks and hresisacwareseeeos:p't cots 9s. 6d. to lls ; moor wool 7s. 6d. to Bs. per stone. This market, for the remainder of the present season, will be once a fortnight. LENDS.—At our.,,Cloth Balls, on Saturday, a pretty fair amount of business was done, particularly in goods calculated for the winter demand, but on Tuesday there was the du►le._ market we have had for some time past. The principal reasc:s. appeared to be the extreme coldness of the weather, and th-• fear of a late harvest. Should the weather take a favourab' , change, a good fall trade is expected. There have been a fe•✓ of the London buyers in the market during the week, but ler the same reason they have operated with great caution, and consequence business has been dull in the warehouses. BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—In wool there is nothing now; the demand is for actual consumption, and at prices similar to several weeks past. Yarns are more inquired after, and the consumption mare than is now spinning, owing to the great quantity of idle machinery. The price is still very discouraging, tending rather to retard any increased production with the raw material at the present disproportionate price. The market to-day for piece goods has been tolerably active, and as the e w ari h nh i is e n : tporimeeosrgeeenxetreanlidyedaroepverearyti,,lonws., it must necessarily, ere long, lead THURSDAY EVENING.--.We have had a MANCHESTER , has caused some of the more wealthy manufacturers to hod back their stocks, expecting to realise rather higher rates : steady or rather an extensive demand tor si c up lo in t s h nome t thethings e very yn fullthe rwholeutes current e very l a h s e t al w th e y e . k, rather exceeding them. EFFECT OF NEW RAILWAYS ON THE PRICE OF COALS IN LONDON.-Mr. Mahon, in giving his evidence before the Committee on the Cambridge and Lincoln line of railway, stated that he had had the management of coal-mines in Derbyshire for twenty years past; that the coal-fields of Clay Cross, Wingerfield, and Stayley, were capable of un limited supply, and he believed that the Clay Cross and Stayley coals were quite equal to the Durham. By the pro posed new lines of railway these coals could be delivered in London at 14s. 10d. per ton; Erewash coals as low as 103. 6d.; while the Wingerworth, which were not so good in quality could not be delivered in London under 143. 6d. per ton. The Builder. REALLY, WHAT NEXT ?—On Wednesday Mr. W. White, of Horbury, joiner, purchased a milch cow in our cattle fair. On the following morning he went to view her, and found the animal minus her tail. He was, as may be imagined, greatly astonished and indignant at the discovery. believing that it had been severed during the night by some inhuman wretch ; but upon a closer examination he ascer tained that the tail had been spliced on in so ingenious a manner as to escape detection. The tail corning off was to be attibuted to the giving way of the materials with which it had been put on, namely, divers yards of wazband, Ste.— Wakefield Journal: az. in what le its ,re.tty crop, duty .
