THE SLAVE TRADE. According to accounts received from America by the Cambria steamer, it seems that the slave schooner Spit fire, purporting to belong to New Orleans, which was seized on the coast of Africa by the combined boats of the United States brig Truxton, and her Majesty's steamer Ardent, bad arrived at Boston. She was sent to the United States by the officer in command of the Truxton, and her master, Peter Flowery, has been convicted of intent to employ the Spitfire in the slave trade. It appeared on the trial that the schooner was built in Baltimore, and was once known as the Caballero of that city. She had made one successful voyage from Africa to Cuba, and had landed 350 slaves near the Matanzas. She was then in com mand of one Captain Gordon, who sold her to Paul Faber, a Virginian by birth, and now a noted slave factor on the Rio Pongo. Gordon and his mate, Turner, subsequently sailed from Boston in the schooner Man chester, to Rio Pongo. Soon after she arrived there Captain Gordon died, and the schooner was afterwards wrecked. Turner, the mate, found his way to the United States brig of war Truxton, then on the eoast, and gave information that the schooner Spitfire, then in the Pongo River, was the same vessel formerly known as the Caballero, and a slaver. He gave this information , as he testified, from revenge, in consequence of some trouble with Faber (who he supposed owned her) in not paying him his wages. An expedition of boats, English and American, was immediately fitted out, and the Spitfire was seized She was found near Faber's slave factory, with a portion of her cargo, consisting, of ten hogsheads of tobacco and some other articles, still on board. She was in command of Captain Flowery, the defendant, and had been lying there for several weeks. By the papers found on board, it appeared that Captain Flowery had sailed in her from Havannah to Key West, and thence to New Orleans, where a bill of sale appeared to have been executed by one J. M. Anguerra, acting as the agent and attorney of Edwin A. Felker, of Key West. The price paid for her was 7,500 dollars. She had no register, but upon the bill of sale there was a certificate that she was American property, with a statement that she could have no register in consequence of having been owned by foreigners. There was also found a charter party executed between the captain and one J. Scorsur, by the terms of which the vessel was to proceed from New Orleans to Havannah, and thence to Rio Pongo for 5,000 dollars. It appeared in evidence that the vessel sailed from New Orleans in November, with a cargo consi- ting of 30 hogsheads of tobacco and some smaller articles. She proceeded to Havannah with Scor sur on board. There she took in some shooks and dry goods, and cleared for the Cape de Verd Islands, but she proceeded to Rio Pongo direct. - - IRISH NATIONAL EDUCATION. TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE HUNTINGDON SHIRE BOARD OF EDUCATION. Gentlemen,--The Warder of last Saturday having promo!. gated your address to the Irish Prelates as " an expression of your sympathy with the Irish Church at the present moment, in their struggle for the maintenance of a Scripture education f:.r the poor," I beg leave to set you right on a most important and misrepresented hinge of the educational controversy, namely, the assumed mutilation and expulsion of the Scrip tures; and, possibly, my refutation of this sedulously proga gated error may have the more weight, as coming from one not imbued with the new-born zeal of a ministerial convert, but coolly observing the development of a system which, as cal culated to diffuse the blessings of general education, he hailed the introduction of with gratitude, and supported, ab initio, with steadiness and consistency. I have already, in many publications, proved that the bap tising of Scripture lessons, or extracts, " mutilations," is as contrary to reason as to fact ; Sellon's " Abridgment of the Old," or Grey's " Key to the New Testament," Mrs. Trim mer's Lessons from each, the Epitomes published by the As sociation for discountenancing Vice, and taught universally in their schools ; or the Scripture Lessons of the late Kildare place Society, were never considered obnoxious to the epithet ; and the following passage, from the preface to the Lessons of the Board, must, to any but those wilfully blind, carry con viction These Lessors, as the name imports, are drawn from the Sacred Volume, and are almost entirely in the lan guage of Scripture, translated literally from the original. When passages are introduced, not in Scripture language (chiefly summaries of some portion of the narrative), they are inclosed between brackets, and usually distinguished by being printed in a smaller type. These selectirns are offered, net as a substitute for the Sacred Volume itself, but as an introduc tion to it; and they have been compiled in the hope of their leading to a more general and more profitable perusal of the Word of God." I fearlessly pronounce those Lessons to be unexceptionable and faithful translations, and have used them in ray own family in preference to the " Volume of the Book," on the principle of St. Paul.-1 Cor. iii., 2. A thirst for ascendancy is the bane of both improvement and of religion, and it is alike common to every branch of the Ca tholic stem ! It impedes both the philanthropist and the states man, has neutralised the benefits of national education in Ire land by its exhibitions amongst the clergy of the Establishment, and threatens to render the noble plan of academical instruc tion nugatory, by its assertion on the part of the Romish eccle siastics ; descending to misrepresentation, it disgraces both, and impedes the best interests of the community.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient humble servant, E. TIGHE GREGORY, D.D., LL.D., Rector and Vicar of Kilmore. Paget Priory, Kilcock, July 1, 1845. MAGAZINES.-CONTINUED. AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE. This magazine, albeit Mr. Ainsworth has ceased to be I.( editor, stilt retains his name, ut /ucus a non lueendo. But, although Mr. Ainsworth has left, other and as worthy men have been found to supply his place, and this is, perhaps, the best number of the magazine that has yet been published. It opens with the introductory chapters of a new romance, entitled " Ehrenstein," from the pen of G. P. R. James, and albeit we have but three chapters, the author in these three chapters has managed to excite the most intense interest in the fortunes of his hero and heroine. We had marked out some exquisite descriptions of rural scenery for extract, but want of room compels us to forego the pleasure of presenting them to our readers. We cannot, however, resist giving the following exquisite serenade, sung by the hero Ferdinand, of Altenburg, beneath the window of his ladye love, Adelaide of Ehrenstein:— Wander with me, loved one, loved one, Wander with me, where none can see, Through the wood, By the flood, Under the greenwood tree. Wander with me, loved one, loved one. Wander with me where none can hear, Where none is nigh, But the birds that fly, And the timid and silent deer. Wander with me, loved one, loved one, Wander with me where none can mark, Whera the leaves green Our love shall screen In their bower 'twist light and dark. Wander with me, loved one, loved one, And a tale to thee I'll tell, \Vinci', if thy heart With mine takes part, Shall please thine ear right well. The author of the prohibited comedy, Richelieu in Love, has also joined the corps of this magazine, and gives us "The Merry Wives of Stamboul," far and away the be,t, magazine tale of the mouth. It it is not a trans - latiim from some unpublished volume of the " Arabian sights," we shall he almost compelled to believe in the doctrine of the transmigration of souls, for most as suredly the soul of him w 113 told the tale of the Sleeper Awakened at this moment animates the body of the author of " The Merry Wives of Stamboul." " A Country Editor," by Shirley Brooks, is evidently a sketch from the life. The other article are all above par, and this is certainly the best number of Ainsworth that has yet appeared. LIGHTHOUSE ON THE GODWIN.—Mr. Bush, after having surmounted every obstacle in the erection of the build ing to contain the " light for all nations," is now contend ing with the greatest difficulty, namely its useful applica tion. The Trinity Board has the exclusive privilege of managing the light-houses on the English coast, and al though this privilege was originally granted for the public good, it has now, like many more, be come subservient to private• interests. The elder brethren are jealous of their rights, they cannot brook the in trusion of a bold, persevering, and clever man succeeding where they have failed, and they appear more disposed to visit the offending party with their displeasure than to hail the suc cess of the undertaking, and to reward the skilful engineer for the additional protection he offers to the lives and property of our merchants and seamen.—The Builder. I3RANDING THE Pooa.—Yesterday morning, be tween eleven and twelve o'clock, a poor hall witted creature was seen in the neighbourhood of Finsbury-square and the City-read, followed by a " gaping crowd," collected around him by the odd ness of his garb. His nether garment consisted of a pair of fustian trousers, having impressed upon the seat and legs, in black letters, the words—" Aylesbury Union." His body was encased in a white duck frock, similar to those worn by scavengers, whilst on his back, front, and sides again appeared in formidable black let ters, which no washing could obliterate, the words " Aylesbury Union." The bystanders expressed themselves in strong terms of • reprobation of the conduct of the Aylesbury guardians In thus cast ing an unnecessary stigma upon poverty. The following horrible suicide took place nt Ram- I (millet on Monday. A collar-maker, named Mulochot, having 1 ecome much embarrassed in his circumstances, and unable to pay the rent of the wretched shop in which he worked, was threat ened with the seizure of his goods. He declared that if a finger was laid on anything belonging to him, he would kill himself. A huissier having conic to effect the seizure, Mulochot ran to a heavily-laden waggon, drawn by four horses, that was passing, and threw himself under the wheels. In a moment the vehicle passed over him, and he was a corpse. He has lelf a widow and family. DEATH OF LORD SEAFORD.—This Noble Lord (led suddenly on Wednesday, at his seat, Woodend, near Chi chester, in his seventy-fourth year. Charles Rose Ellis, Baron s eat ord, of the county of Sussex ;so created July 15, 1826. He was 14orti December 19, 1771. On the 2d August, 1798, he mar ried Elizabeth Catherine Caroline, only child of John Augustus, Lord Hervey, eldest son and heir-apparent of Frederick, fourth Earl of Bristol, and by her had two sons and a daughter. Her Ladyship died January 'l, 1803 ; and on the Ist October, 1840, Hs Lordship married Anne Louisa daughter of Admiral the Hon.

The Noble Lord's eldest son, Lord de Walden, succeeds to the title and estates ; his Lordship is her Majesty's Ambassador to the Cow t of Portugal FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Thursday after noun, Mr. Hobbs, a Custom House officer, who had been in the service many years, and had arrived at the rank of a coasting waiter, after visiting the Ramona steamer, in the course of his duty, stepped into a lighter alongside, and was about to get into a revenue galley, when the swell of a steam-vessel passing at full speed, gave the barge a lurch, and threw hist into the river. He disappeared Lubtatitly, and never rose again. Search was made for the body, but it could not be recovered. The deceased, who was a most active and valuable revenue officer, was 35 years of age. He has left a widow and three children. The commune of Zurich Heugg (says the New Zurich Gazette) has conferred the freedom of that place on Dr. Steiger and his family.

It appears from some of them that he QUEEN'S proposed journey to the Basque Provinces is very much opposed by both the Moderado and Progressista parties, as they feel con vinced that the principal object of it is to make arrangements for the marriage of her Majesty with the Prince of ASTURIAS and that Queen CHRISTINA is the principal agent in the business. We are inclined to think, that after the kind treatment she received at Paris during her exile, she will say a good word for the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. His marriage with the QUEEN'S sit-ter would gratify the Court of France. NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA are said to be on bad terms, and an open quarrel in a short time is anticipated. NARVAEZ, says the Tie mpo, is determined to accompany the young QUEEN wherever she goes, and prevent any Carlist intrigue that may have been contemplated. The Three per Cents. closed at 31% for cash, and 32 3 A at 60 days; the Four per Cents. at 20 1 / 4 for the 2d of July; and the Five per Cents., at 20% for cash, and at 21% at 60 days. The French Chambers have brought the business of the session nearly to a close, and it is understood that the pro rogation will take place towards the end of next week, or early in the following week. During the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies relative to the budget of receipts, se veral motions were made by Opposition Members, among others, one by M. DE ST. PRIEST, for a uniform postage of eight sons on all letters, except those of soldiers and sailors, but the motion was finally withdrawn on the Finance Minister stating that it was his intention to bring in a Bill on the subject next session. Another Member proposed a tax on dogs, which was opposed by the Government. The Con stitutionnel and the Journal des Debats contain articles on the state of Syria, and though perhaps there may be a little colour ing on both sides, the condition of that country appears suffi ciently deplorable. " The Maronites," says the former journal, "have suffered the most severely. They have lost more than 2,000 of their people, among whom women, chil dren, and aged men form a large majority. The losses of tke Druses amount to about 1,000 persons, and these, for the most part, able-bodied men. All the Christian villages in the mixed districts have been burnt, their harvests ravaged, and their mulberry-trees destroyed. In a word, their ruin is complete." After attaching great blame to the voluntary inaction of the Turkish authorities, the Journal des Debats adds :—" The Turkish Governor wishes to force the Christians who had quitted certain districts to take refuge in the towns to return to their homes, and in order to force them to comply, he has refused the rations which he allowed them for a short time. The refugee Christians on their part refuse to return to their villages, where they know that they can find no protection, and they remain abandoned to public charity. In the meantime the Druses continue to pillage and to massacre the Christians who re main in their houses. They raise forced contributions on the convents. Each convent is obliged to furnish oil, rice, and bread. The Druses do not confine themselves to the pillage and destruction of trees and to the burning of churches ; they massacre and mutilate the men, and strip and violate the women. Several of the latter have been found hanging to the trees by their hair. The unfortunate Christians are emi grating in masses. Charitaisle assistance was not wanting, but it was insufficient for the relief of so many sufferers. M. POUJADE, the French Consul, has, under these melancholy circumstances, worthily represented his country ; he has distributed alms and provisions, and clothing for the naked women ; and his Kavass have scoured the villages, bearing with them assistance and encouragement. The Austrian, Prussian, and Russian Consuls rivalled each other in zeal to do good. The sanguinary anarchy which reigns in the Lebanon threatens to extend." LI4O VIES 'Sirii.t.'PlNG.-(T1 - 1IS DA Y.)

RAIL WAY RETURNS. RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail- ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same week in the previous year : WANT Or POLICE IN REGENT-STREET.--.We hear complaints from various quarters of daring robberies in the day time as well as at night in Regent street and the neighbourhood. A gentleman, who resides near All Souls Church, Langham-place, on returning home about one o'clock yesterday morning, was knocked down close to his own door by a severe blow on the head, and had it been only half an inch nearer the temple, it must have killed him. As it was, he was severely injured by the fall, and escaped being robbed only by calling for the police. A policeman was seen but a few minutes before in conversation with three men, one of whom was the party who inflicted the blow. We believe no secret is made of the fact, that well-known desperate characters are daily seen prowling in that quarter, ready for any mischief.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1845. The Lords met at Five o'clock. The Irish Banking Bill was read a third time and passed. The Etrl of BEsnortouon stated, on the part of Lord DACRE, that it was not his intention to proceed further with the Game-laws Amendment Bill this session. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Iri3h Jurors Acts Amendment Bill, and entered into a lengthened explanation of the nature and objects of the measure. The Bill was then read a second time. The Irish Bishops' Patronage Bill was read a third time and passed. A long conversation ensued respecting the coasting trade of Great Britain ; after which, the Bills on their Lo Irdships' table were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock. A petition was presented from Messrs. ercoTT, ship builders, praying that the officers of the House might be permitted to attend the Court of Common Pleas, on the trial of an action, brought by the petitioners against Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY, the Member for Cheltenham, for the purpose of identifying the Hon. Member. After a short discussion the petition was rejected. In reference to the recent conflict between the police and the people in the south of Ireland, Sir T. FRE* MANTLE stated that if the investigation before the Coro ner should not be satisfactory, the Government would institute an inquiry into the circumstances attending that unfortunate affair. On the order of the day being read for the House going into Committee on the Commons Inclosure Bill, Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved as an amendment, that the House should resolve itself into Committee on that mea sure that day three months. Lord WORSLEY defended the principles of the Bill, and a. discussion ensued, during which the House was addressed by Mr. HUSIE, Lord PALaIERSTON, and the Earl of LINCOLN. Upon a division, however, the motion of Mr. CRAWFORD was negatived by a majority of 110 ; the numbers being—for the amendment, 11 ; against it, 121. The House then went into Committee, and various amendments were proposed on the various clauses, but ultimately clauses 1 to 32 were agreed to, when the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the Heuse adjourned at Two o'clock. The QUEEN and Prince ALBERT honoured the Belgian company last evening, for the first time, with their presence at the performances in Drury-lane Theatre. It has been a matter of surprise among persons who attend to the movements of the Court, that her MAJESTY and her illustrious relatives now in this country, bad so long delayed the visit ; but, if we are to credit public report, the mystery is now explained. At an interview which the treasurer of Covent-garden Theatre had with the sitting Magistrate at Bow-street, yesterday, it would appear, from the conversation which took place, that in consequence of th 6 Anti-Corn -law League meet ings being held in the theatre, the Court had resolved not to countenance by their attendance any performances at that house. We cannot place any con fidence in this story. The League is a perfectly legal association ; its objects are of the very first importance to the community at large, and more especially to the poorer classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects ; it is sup ported by greater numbers, talent, political influence, wealth, and, we may add, Christian charity, than any association that has sprung up in England for half a century ; and so numerous are the contributors to its funds, so large the sums collected, and so strong are the feelings of the great mass of the community in its favour, that all well-informed persons are now fully convinced that its object must in a very short period be accomplished, and one of the most ob noxious laws of the land be speedily modified, or alto gether abrogated. We cannot, therefore, help regarding the report alluded to as a calumny on her MAJESTY, and an unjust imputation on the SOVEREIGN for mix ing up Court influence with a question that ought to be decided impartially by the Legislature. The very coincidence of the royal visit, too, bears us out in this opinion. Will her MAJESTY favour the importation of foreign performers to injure English men and Englishwomen, and at the same time object to the importation of foreign grain, so necessary for the prosperity of our manufactures, and so indispensable to the well-being of her peaceable, intelligent, industrious, and loyal subjects? No person who has instituted any careful inquiry into the subject of confinement for lunacy, or the con dition and management of private lunatic asylums, can doubt, that together they involve the most sacred rights of personal freedom, and even freedom of opinion. It is notoriously so difficult to define the line of demarka tion which separates insanity from eccentricity, that there are many still at large whose exces sive eccentricity far surpasses, in its mischiev ous character, the worst extravagance that others who have been confined for years as confirmed madmen ever committed. here oddity of notions on certain given subjects has subjected many a Man of original genius and cultivated intellect, to the intrusive visitation of a commission de lunatico, and the transfer of his estate and its management consequent thereon. In the same way the indulgence in some momentary caprice, shown by an overt act of whimsicality, has been held of force enough to subject the unfortunate 'party to personal re straint in one of those compulsory retirements which are sarcastically called " asylums." That is to say, asylums which no man seeks, but all are driven into; a protec tion which its recipients shun and seek to flee from, as if it were th 3 persecution of a pestilence. We have be fore remarked, that individuals in all the relations of social life, especially in the higher classes, have largely and most iniquitously availed themselves of these private asylums, and the facilities and laxity of the law which has hitherto regulated them, to divest themselves of those social relations with all the duties attaching to them ; or rather to per vert them to purposes of the most sordid avarice and the most guilty purposes. Now, of all the kinds of human sacrifices that the wickedness of man has ever devised, there is none so terrible as that of handing over a fellow-being, conscious of his own endowments and the fact of his own sanity, to the degrading confinement, the segregation, an i the coercion allotted by the severe fiat of the law to hopeless fatuity. Within these two weeks we have ourselves conversed with two intelligent gentlemen who have undergone this most cruel of inflictions, being at the time in the full possession of all their mental faculties. That these must have been strong, even in an unusual degree, may be inferred from the fact, that their elasticity survived so terrible an experiment upon them. But if we con sider how many wives have been confined in like man ner on the application of designing husbands, how many husbands at the instigation of their wives, how many rightful heirs have been handed over in these legalised domiciles of broken hearts to hopeless captivity and to death, by those who have yearned for the possession of their estates and property : how many wards have in these receptacles expiated the trouble and solicitude they have occasioned to treacherous guardians ; our only wonder must be, that any in dividuals who have once been inmates of these dreary tenements should ever have left them, under any cir cumstances, with minds not absolutely ruined and ex tinct. Under impressions of this kind we have been led more carefully to consider, than upon its first publication we were enabled to do, the several enactments of Lord ASHLEY'S Bill for the regulation of the care and treat ment of lunatics in England. And we are bound to state that, in reference to some of its particular clauses, especially clause 44, it does not appear to us to provide any adequate securities against the recurrence of those scandalous outrages on the personal liberties of indi viduals, of which we have spoken as being too fre quently set in motion for the most base and perfidious of purposes. We shall endeavour, however, more par ticularly to illustrate these objections at an early oppor tunity, when we propose to examine in detail the pro visions and enactments we allude to. It is impossible to devote too much attention to a Bill that is to recognise and consolidate, in very many instances, powero that HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY The House sat to.day to hear writs of error; the Peers present were the Lord Chanceller, Lord Brougham, and the Bishop of Ely. The following judges were also in attendance :—the Lerd Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Baron Rolfe, and Mr. Baron Platt. THE IRISH SOCIETY V. THE LORD BISHOP OP DERRY. Sir THOMAS WILDS resumed his arguments in this case on be- . half of the plaintiffs in error v. they Irish Society. The question in the case was, who had the right of presentation to certain livings in the county of Coleraine, in the diocese of Derry—the Irish Society or the Bishop of Derry. The case came before their Lordships upon a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer Chamber in Ireland, which Court decided in favour of the right of the Bishop of Derry. The case appears likely to occupy several days. ROLLS' COUUT.-(THIS DAY.) LORD NELSON V. LORD BRIDPORT. The arguments in this part-heard case occupied his Lordship the Master of the Rolls the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY No case of any importance came to-day before either of the Vice-Chancellors. The Vice-Chancellor of England took causes, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce causes, petitions, and motions, and the Vice-Chancellor Wigram short causes, unopposed petitions, and causes. CELEBRATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.—A party of American gentlemen assembled at the Lyceum Tavern, in the Strand, on the 4th of July, to celebrate the anniversary of American Independence. At about six o'clock they sat down to a sumptuous dinner. After the cloth was removed, Mr. Edwin For rest, the well-known tragedian, was called to the chair, and Mr. Thomas Doughty, the American artist, was unanimously chosen vice-president. The chairman having addressed the meeting in a strain of fervid eloquence, proceeded to read the Declaration of In dependence, after which Mr. C. H. Peabody, late editor of the Boston Bulletin, delivered an oration, which animated all hearts with the warmest sentiments of patriotism. The thanks of the company were proposed to that gentleman by Mr. Forrest, for his eloquent and brilliant production. Several national toasts were then given—" The memory of Washington, the father of his country," and of "Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declara tion of Independence," die. During the evening Mr. T. Doughty, jun , favoured the party with several patriotic and other songs. The dinner reflected the highest credit upon Mr. Spilhean, who, in the course of the evening, was invited to join the company. He was addressed by the chairman, and complimented for the very handsome manner in which he had catered for the occasion. Mr. Spillman, in a few neat remarks, proposed the health of the Presi dent of the United States; and Henry Nikoff, Esq., in a very happy introduction, proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen, and the members of the Royal Family, which toast was heartily re sponded to by all present, when the party separated. Two American flags were floating from the Lyceum Tavern during the day, and attracted general attention. ----- MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—To-day a cricket match which has excited considerable interest, commenced on the Man chester Cricket-ground—the Manchester Club against the whole of Yorkshire, eleven players on each side. The wickets were pitched at ten o'clock. The Manchester Clnb scored 107 first innings; Yorkshire then commenced playing, and at eight o'clock had scored 192, with six wickets to go down. The sports will be resumed to-morrow morning at ten o'clock. Betting this morning was 6 to 4 on Yorkshire ; at the close of this day's playing 10 to 4 was offered and taken, WINDSOR, F RIDAY . E VENI NG. --It hai been COD sidered very prob a bl e, f or some time past, in consequence of the extensive alterations and renovations which were proceeding throughout the Castle, that the Court would not pay a visit to Windsor before September next ; indeed, not tilt after the return of her Majesty an d hi s R o y a l Highness Prince Albert from the Continent. This que s tion has just been set at rest by the arrival of a messenger f rom B uc ki ng h a m Palace, with instructions for the works originally contemplated (and which had been dela y ed com mencing until the roy a l determination was finally known) to be proceeded with forthwith, and to be completed ear l y i n t h e month of September next, as th e p r iv a te apartments will not be required for the use of h er M a j es ty un til that period.

The testator bequeathed to her the whole of his real and personal estate absolutely, the latter sworn under 3,0001. The deceased died at the ad vance d age o f seventy-four; on the 27th of May last. FAIRLOP FAlR.—Yesterday b ein g the first Frida y in July, the annual fair, held on the spot where once stood the famed "Fairlop Oak," in Hainault or Epping Forest, took place according to annual custom, and owing to the fineness of the day many thousands from the metropolis and the populous villages on the borders of the forest attended it. The fair, which used for merly to extend to three days, the last being Sunday, is now strictly confined to one, it being found that the charter under which it is held does not allow more. It is not generally known that the once famed Fairlop oak has been converted into the pulpit and reading-desk in New St. Pancras Church. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAlLWAY.—Yester day a meeting of this company was held at Tokenhouse-yard, Lothbury, to consider the state of their affairs. Much dissatisfac tion appeared to exist amongst the shareholders, and harsh re marks were made on the conduct of the Directors. It was de. tided by a formal resolution that reporters should be excluded, the Directors seeming to desire that the public should not have any notice of their quarrel. •cs W ee k Last g ~.„ "D • ~. ending NAME OF RAILWAY week. 3 7, a ----- - X X June 28 Arbroath and Forfar ••••.-• . • • • • • • 21.9 203 .

BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND HASTINGS RAILWAy,— Yesterday a meeting of this company was held at the offices, King William.street, for the purpose of authorising the company to con struct a line from Wolverhithe, in Sussex, to Ashford, in Kent, The draft of the Bill was read by Mr. Faithful. It stated that the Bill would authorise the directors to issue new shares to the extent of 500,0001., and to borrow 166,0001. The works would be completed in seven years, or their powers would cease. A resolution was passed authorising the directors to proceed with the line. The banns of marriage between Mr. Stephens, an opulent Englishman, and Mdlle. Yoladde Louise Duverney, for merly a dancer at the Opera, where she made her first appearance in 1831, are posted up at the Mairie of the Second Arrondisse ment.—Paris paper. . - EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF SALMON.—The cha racter of the fishing season, which, up to the end of last week, had been uniformly unsuccessful, underwent a sudden and extraordin ary change on Monday. That morning both salmon and grilse came un the river in great numbers, and in the course of that day nearly one thousand were caught at the different stations below the bridge. On Tuesday 197 boxes were dispatched to Dundee, to be shipped by steam for London. Here prices have fallen this week to 10d. for salmon, and Scl. for grilse per pound.—Perthshire Courier. DESTRUCTION OF A SWARM OF BEES.—At Cam bridge Town-hall on Tuesday, Sarah Summers appeared to answer the charge of Mary Ann Gifford, for having destroyed a swarm of bees belonging to plaintiff's husband. The bees had swarmed in defendant's garden, and when plaintiff went with a key and warm ing- pan to entice the creatures bask again, the defendant refused to allow her to do so, and a fight ensuing, defendant threw a pail of water over the bees and destroyed them all. The court was filled with the partisans of both litigants, and their frequent interpola-. tions caused some confusion, and the case appeared to have caused much excitement in the locality where the parties resided. Ore witness described the flight of the bees from the plaintiff's garden till they lighted on a 'gooseberry bush in the defendant's garden. Plaintiff's mother brought the akep and a chair, on which she placed it, and began to beat the pan ; but the defendant, disregard. ing both the music of the warming-pan and the laws relating to bees, deluged the unlucky truants with a pailful of water as afore said. A witness on the part of the defendant denied that the bees were actually drowned; but that, with soused wings, they flew away by scores. The defendant was mulcted in the fine of Ins. for the damage done to the bees, but without costs.—Cambridge Advertiser. On 'Wednesday last, as two youths were on the banks of Floutern Tarn, a short distance from Ennerdale Lake, they saw a large fish swimming about In the water ; thoy imme diately baited a hook with a small trout which they had caught, and presently succeeded in capturing the huge tenant of the Tarn, which proved to be a pike of about twelve pounds weight. The most remarkable feature connected with this extraordinary feat is, that no one ever suspected that the Tarn contained any pike, none having ever been seen in it before, nor even in the lake.—Cumber , land Pacquet. RAILWAY SCRIP ROBBERY. —Yesterday cruesda morning, as John M'Donald, of the B division of police, was on duty at the Hunt's Bank station, his attention was attracted by a person in female's attire, but who appeared to have a most unfe minine gait. It was soon ascertained that the individual in ques. tion was a young man answering the deseription of Robert Preston Dawson, late clerk In the service of Mr. Blackburn, one of the so licitors to the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Railway Company, and for whose apprehension a reward bad been offered in the Hue and Cry, on a charge of stealing from the office of his employer 16 scrip certificates of 20 shares each. He had come by the:Leeds Railway to Manchester, and was about to start for Liverpool when detected. He was brought up at the Borough Court in the course of the fore. noon, when he admitted that his name was Dawson, and that he had been a clerk with Mr. Blackburn, but he denied the robbery.

PUGILISM.—FIGHT BETWEEN AESTRAVICK AND HARRISON.—This match, which was for 251, aside, was decided on Thursday last, in a field near the village of Moore, Staffordshire, in the presence of a great number of spectators, many of them be longing to the London, Manchester, and Birmingham ring. Um pires and a referee having been chosen, both men entered the ring, the odds being 6 to 4 on M'Stravick, and both men fought well and extremely hard, the odds increasing to 3 to 1 on M'Stravick, in the fiftieth round ; 'and after fighting for two hours and a half, during which time ninety rounds were fought, M'Stravick was de. clared the winner.

The Scotch Banks increased their circulation in the four weeks to June 21 by 128,280/., but the Irish establishments lessened theirs by 308,330/., no doubt in order to meet any particular effect that may be produced by the new cur rency Bill. The meeting yesterday at the London Tavern, in aid of the sufferers by the calamitous fire at Quebec, resulted in a large subscription, about 2,700/., made in the room itself, and this before the arrangements of the committee were even made. Now that publicity to the matter is given in the advertising columns of The Sun, and other journals, we shall, no doubt., have soon to notice that the above amount has been doubled and trebled.

The Reform Act requires that they slia , l have been freemen and livery men twelve months before they can be placed on the registry list, and as this list will Ise made up to the 31st day of July, 1846, no person taking up his freedom and livery after the 31st day of July, 1845, can be placed upon it. All persons, therefore, wishing to obtain votes should make an inquiry at the Chamberlain's-office, Guildhall, concerning the process, without further delay, as the formalities of their admission must necessarily occupy some time. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, a new and large royal standard was hoisted on the triumphal arch in front of Buckingham Palace, in lieu of the one that was nearly demolished by the wind on Wednesday last. STATUE OF JAMES H. IN WHITEHALL-GARDENS.— _ _ _ The doubt which has long prevailed respecting the artist of this statue has recently been cleared up by the appearance of a work entitled " The Autobiography of Sir John Bramaton," printed by the Camden Society. The passage is as follows :—" On New Year's day, 1686, a statue in brass was to be seen (placed the day before) in the yard at Whitehall, made by Gibbons, at the charge of Toby Rustick, of the present King James II." It thus turns out that Walpole had a correct impression of the truth when he wrote—" I am the rather inclined to attribute the statue at Whitehall to Gibbons, because I know no other artist of that time capable of it." —Me Builder.

The recent startling disclosures of turf doings, instead of in• ,ro the prospects of racing, seem to have materially benefited it. entries for the different great stakes are larger than ever , the pai tendance on the courses is greater, and although speculation d ad carried on to the heavy extent it was wont to be in the fl e. ':or times of Colonel Mellish, still there is far more animation ones ble in the racing, from the increased confidence which the ineecto• of it have in each other. There is one great feature which I ilea not help remarking upon as an evidence of the rapid strides l e 0, meetings like Goodwood and Liverpool are making in viz., that the various races at those places are introduced e e th e Tattersall's, where formerly business was almost confined te Derby The , acceptances for the Goodwood Stakes being now out, _nor many horses being in the market for it, I think it will be 071,01 uninteresting or unprofitable to examine the pretensions of ors who have already been patronised. Last year to this stak e b t,, , CP were 12l subscribers, and the acceptances amounted to 52. Og o ofel went for it, and Mr. Wreford's Franchise,a 5 years old, moder ate d th e with the moderate weight of 6st., won it, beating the winner of preceding year by a length. In the present race, the accept did exceed those of its predecessor by six, and as seventee n have been backed for it at this early poriod, there is every e' of its being a good race for the book makers. Libel, 3 1 1. '1; 21b., was backed before it was known he would stand at gds /Or directly his name appeared in the list of the acceptance te oii e ; to 15 to I, and has now plenty of friends at 13 t o 1. H ie ; II mances are too well known to require me to recapitulate th eni b ie five it to say, that, with the exception of the Derby, for t e 0 1,9 was well known he was made safe, and the Ascot Vase, o .t he was in close attendance on Sweetmeat, he has won wit h i c .ii, slightest difficulty every race he went for. As for the Weird tS/, him, I think it is a perfectly fair one, and I should recol e t. readers to back him, since, if he does not win, he is slare,,"" t ei far better favourite before starting, and they will conseclu:" enabled to hedge their money without difficulty. rietd ; yrs, 7st. 311 s , stands at 16 to 1. He also is nicely weigh;sistlY; as he carries 211 b. less than he did at Hampton, whe re with an allowance of 71b., beat him a length, he shoul d . e o e e forward. Pythi3, 3 yrs, sst. 31b., has friends who Will ee, 1 that she wins; but I should be truly sorry t e ,„ 1 4 0 . 1 0 , of them. I now come to the hitherto almost er Mal, noon which mare, as a penalty for 0 ning at Nortnampiam, e4eVW AV., MOCkhr 4l6 l 0, 0 ; Winchester, the handicapper has been pleased to place es t w e Although this is the top weight, yet from the stoutness 0700$ which her Majesty has displayed in all her races, and the ass: ae she will receive from her jockey (Nat), I consider her 0 1 1 ) excellent one, particularly if the course is heavy. Of L orsi Warp, 4 yrs old, sst, 10th., I know nothing. Lord Gem's" 00 flock's John o' Gaunt, aged, with Bst. 31b. on his back, is_ tbe y 4 0 ; on the list. He is a useful sort of horse, and can alway s 15 7 t 4t o tance, but I do not imagine he is speedy enough to win so i pr' a race as the Goodwood Stakes always is. It should net „,f gotten that, at the First Spring Meeting at Newmarket, tjtiv Queen's Plate, he gave Pine.apple 51b., and beat him a len! bar 07, half. If Venus. 5 yrs, 7st. 91b., were in the hands ot I trainer, Forth, she would be a much better favourite then 010.1', now. It is singular how much this mare and her 11 IoD Vibration, fell off in their running directly they left the grove stable. In 1842 Venus, with sst. 101 b., won the Les el od:, Stakes, beating Greenfinch, Lucy Banks, , and nine oth ers ; Doncaster she was only beat a head by Pompey for tlortc, Yorkshire Handicap, the fastest run race of the years 1/ others went for it. She must be vastly improved to win I.‘ against the horses that are certain ,to start against her. 0 0 0 wall's /Egis, 3 yrs old, 4st. 10Ib., upon the strength of h er 1 ,011 0 ; the Great Hampshire Stakes at Stockbridge, where she bes t ,010 1 , bus, Old George, Moustache, and Giantess (winner of the ',0 1 ,` Stakes), and afterwards following up her success by disposinte ° (Sk i l for the original Hampshire Stakes at Winchester, has been d'''Z ar raised from the outside to the 20 to 1 division, and, I t ",., " •c6,:i '' would remunerate any one to invest a trifle on her at that P - 0 she is sure to see a better day. The lioness of Thu rsdal al; Corner, Glossy, next demands my attention. She is a snar e some pretensions to speed, and lasting qualities, as lastr f a oll i d sst. 41b., she ran Pomp e y t o h a lf a l e n g th for the Great V l ' s ,l Handicap, beating twelve others. Afterwards at !Celtic'', Gil` 6st. 71b,she beat the /lest. of-Three, 6st. 91b., Inheritress, 1:;(011; Armytage, 7st.Blb , The Era, 85t.41b., and The Little Fairy for the Border R ac i ng Cl u b St a k es, an d a t the N e wmarket ; A Meeting she won a handic a p plate of 100 sovs., [ fl ess el i Marquise, Jamie Forest, Michey Free, Vibration, "; st , $ l , Johnny, and Phar a oh. H e must be a bold man who woul"in heavily against Glossy with the-e performances staring h i !, se ll face. She is in Dawson's stables, and is sure to be bronliV" post in good conditio n . „et, II : Mr. A. Joh ns t one ' s R ow e na , 4st. 71b., because she - it e t Cleveland Handicap at Doncaster last year, beating Se n ?ot Pride of Kildare, and the Knight of the Whistle, is faee, , some, who supp or t him with spirit. As the distance I ' m" D 4° ,‘ Cleveland Handicap was only a mile, I do not conceive sh e lo g titled to any confidence on that ground, and I think 04'0111 her chance. Lightning, with a pound more than he cell o Newcastle, where he ran third to Inheritress, stands also to 1, but I do not conceive him worth backing at that price.ool; Boarding School Miss has 6st. 31b. upon her, but as sh e joi e a great noise in the world, I am not inclined to place fai th for any race over a mile. eti o ol Vates's chance may be estimated by the betting. We e•P 6st. 81b., should run in front, but she has been started s e taS, this year, that I think she must be " used up" by thl o l Roderick, 6 years, 6st. 121 b., is a capital outsider ; las t 'o,r' won four races, viz., a stake at Goodwood, the Staffordshi re the Manchester Cup Stakes, at Gorton, and a stake at th e center Autumn Meeting. I have known worse horses than Roderick win the 0 % elri Stakes before now. In conclusion, I think, out of the tiftro horses that have accepted, the following are the most W ee support :—Libel, Glossy, /Egis, Queen Mab, and Roderick . London, July 5, 1845.
