Accounts have been received from Switzerland to the 7th. On that day the Diet, sitting at Zurich, was en gaged in the discussion of the restoration of the secu larised convents of Argau. Only seven cantons voted for their restoration. The State Gazette of Lucerne publishes the official report of the circumstances connected with M. LEU'S death. It appears from it that the deceased bad been several times threatened in anonymous letters with death ; that for the last four years he kept no fire-arms in the house ; that on the night of the murder the door of the house had been open, and that close to the house the footsteps of two persons running away had been discovered. In addition to the presumption of murder arising from the abovl circumstances, the medical report proves that suicide was absolutely impossible. Madrid papers to the sth have arrived. The Gazette publishes a royal decree apportioning the land-tax of 300,000,000 rials among the forty-nine provinces of the kingdom, a, d declaring that the first half-year must be paid immediately. This measure continues to excite great dissatisfaction throughout the kingdom. General ALCALA and Brigadier MONTERO had been ordered to quit Madrid in twenty-four hours. Every thing was quiet on the Bth at Barcelona, and throughout Catalonia. The QUEEN is to leave St. Sebastian on the 16th for the baths of Santa Aguada. The Infanta Luisa, however, will remain at St. Sebastian, for the purpose of sea bathing. The QUEEN is expected at Pampeluna on the 26th. The Royal Family is not ex• pected to return to Madrid until the end of September. MADRID BOURSE, AUG. s.—Spanish Securities have risen considerably to-day, although the amount of busi ness transacted was not large. The improved condition of the market arises from the report that Senor MON had overcome the difficulties attendant on the regulation of the debt, and that his financial plan was on the eve of being published. In the Three per Cents., in which 21,320,000 reals were negotiated at 304 for cash, higher ; and at 314 at 60 days, higher. One bargain was effected in the Five per Cents. for 2,000,000 rials at 224 for 60 days. Exchanges on London at 90 days, 374 to 8. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Debats contains a long letter from Zurich on the affairs of Switzerland. It appears from the statements in this letter, that a National Guard is organising throughout Switzerland among the Radical party, the object of which is to expel the Jesuits ; and according to some reports to destroy the federation, and form Switzerland into one individual republic. A German refugee, named SNELL, is the chief of the association, which has established its head-quarters at Berne. It is imagined that they will effect a revolution in Berne, similar to the one recently effected in Vaud, and that then they will declare war against Lucerne. The popu lation in the small mountain cantons are arming, to de fend the Jesuits, so that a collision seems inevitable. It is believed the struggle will take place in September. The Constdationnel states that the interview between the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS (who are still at Bordeaux) and the Queen of SPAIN will take place at Pampeluna, towards the end of the month. The Duke D'AUMALE left Bordeaux on Friday for Belfort. The French Three per Cents. were at 841. 35c, and the Five pee Cents. at 1221. The market closed as follows : Three per Cents., for cash, 84f. 15c.; for account, 841. 35c. Five per Cents., for cash, 121 f. 80c. ; for account, 1221. Bank of France Shares, 3,220 f.

We have just seen a gentleman who came as a passenger on board the St. Vincent, from Trinidad to Bristol, which vessel, as was stated in The Sun of yesterday, was boarded on her homeward voyage by a schooner supposed to be piratical. He says, that during the whole of the previous day the St. Vincent had been followed by a suspicious -looking brig. When morning came the schooner was discovered in com pany with the brig. They parted, and the schooner bore down on the St. Vincent. There were only two men on the deck of the schooner, one at the wheel and another with a telescope, but below she was crowded with men. She hoisted Spanish colours, as did the brig, which also bore down on the St. Vincent. The brig having spoken an American man-of-war which was in sight, the schooner left the St. Vincent, joined the brig, and they sailed off in com pany, the brig leading the way. The schooner was a low Baltimore clipper, and had a piece of ordnance on her deck. She gave the latitude and longitude, chalked on a board, but she was at least 20 degrees out in her reckoning, so that, in all probability, she had no chronometer on board. SUNDERLAND ELECTION. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) SUNDERLAND, AUGUST 11.—It is not easy to see where the numbers are to come from which can beat the Liberals here. The numbers polled at Lord Howick's election, which were the greatest ever known, were 706 for Lord Howick, 462 for his Tory competitor ; total polled, 1,168, majority for Lord Howick, 244. An enor mous margin this on which to draw. Besides this, there are now 148 fewer names on the register than then, against which must be bet off about half that number of removals, which were prevented from voting at Lord Howick's election by the then state of the law. So that on the whole, 1,100 may be stated as very near the probable number to poll ; and the public voice confirms the expectation. It is not likely that the ex citement should be greater than . at Lord Howick's election, or that this should be the occasion on which the numbers polled should be greater than on any of the precious elections which have occurred ; if betting men had it in hand, nobody would bet upon it. But the Liberals have promises enough to carry the election, under such circumstances, by an overpowering majority ; and Sunderland Liberal promises are not bad, as was proved by Lord Howick having had more votes than promises. Under these facts, nothing but experiment can prove that the Liberals can fail. Messrs. Cobden and John Bright arrived at four POI. on Monday. COURT OF CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)—It was generally understood, from the announcements that have taken place, that the Lord Chancellor would have sat in his private room at Westminster to-day, for the 'purpose of giving judg ment in several cases that have been heard before him; how ever, up to the hour of our going to press no sitting had taken place; and it is now supposed that bis Lordship will sit to morrow, not only to give judgments, but to dispose of any matters that may press. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, who is the vacation judge to the end of the present month, will sit in his court in Lincoln's Inn on Friday. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. (From a Correspondent.) —We regret exceedingly to state that a most serious accident, attended with fatal results, occurred on the Thames last even ing. From all we could learn in a hasty gathering of facts, it appears that the celebrated fast steamer " Father Thames," on her voyage from Gravesend, made the pool about ten o'clock, with a great number of passengers, where, from some unavoid able cause, she came full on to a heavy barge, and with such force as to . instantly carry away her paddle-box and side cabin, in which were several persons. It may be readily imagined that consternation and confusion arose immediately, the vessel being thrown on one side, and several persons in the water, Five persons, we are told, were rescued from a watery grave. but whether any, or several, are lost, we have yet to learn. From the disabled state of the vessel, the passengers had to be landed at Wapping from small boats. tLf.Hhri Lion s t ea m er .eoe A RRIVALNc S a turday n n c .

SUN, LONDON, W_EDNESI4-Al EVENING, AUGTIST 13, 045. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales, without any change in prices, including 600 Egyptian at 6%d. to 6%d. ; 140 Sea Island at 11%cl. to Is. 3d. ; and the rest American at 3 1 / 0. to sd. per pound. There was not much doing in Shares. The market was quiet, but steady. A great deal of satisfaction has been expressed in commer cial circles to- day at the promulgation of an order in council, that sugars the produce of Siam are to be admitted here at the reduced duty of 28s. and 235. 4d. respectively, as not being the produce of slave labour. As a matter of course, re fined qualities are excluded from this benefit. It is a curious fact that the produce of China, of Java, and Manilla is admitted upon the low terms, when thy take so little of our manufac tures, while Brazil is a most excellent customer. It is, how ever, extremely probable that ere long we Alan have sugars exported from Rio de Janeiro, where they have not been produced by slave labour. Some little interest is attached to the result of the sale of 124 bags of Siam sugar, which is an • nounced for this day. It is expected that advanced prices will be realised. There are no late arrivals in the City announced to-day from the British colonies. A merchant in the City, Mr. J. H. Elliot, has furnished us, in common with other of our Contemporaries, with a pub lication of his entitled, " Credit, the Life of Commerce," being a defence of the British merchant against the unjust and demoralising tendency of the recent alteration, and an out line of the laws of debtor and creditor, and remedial mea sures. We may take an early opportunity of quoting from this interesting pamphlet. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. The supply of English Wheat, which principally consisted of that left over from Monday's market, being extensive for the time cf year, and the attendance of millers compara tively small, the demand for that description of grain was in a very sluggish state; still, however, the factors were again tolerably firm in their holdings, arising principally from the prevailing damp weather, and the slow progress making in the harvest fields. The finest parcels of both Red-and White sold at prices quite equal • to those paid on Monday ; but in other kinds exceedingly little was doing, and a clearance was not effected. The show of free Foreign Wheat was not to say large, yet very little business was doing in it, at unaltered currencies. Corn under lock commanded very little atten tion, and prices in many instances ruled almost nominal. The supply of Barley was extremely small. Grinding par cels moved off steadily at full prices. Malting and Distilling qualities were heavy. The best White Malt found bvers at extreme rates. The secondary kinds were a mere drug. Owing to the moderate nature of the Oat arrivals the sale ruled firm, and prices were well supported. Beans, Peas, and Flour as last quoted. - ARRIVALS. Wheat. I Barley. 8,990 qrs. 1,330 qrs.

The annual contest amongst the watermen plying at Wool wich came off yesterday, and notwithstanding the dull, cheer less, unfavourable state of the weather, so ill-suited for an exhi bition of this kind, was attended by a vast number of persons, both on the shore and on the river. The race was with six scullers, in five heats, for a new boat, and some very liberal money prizes, and extended the whole river front of the town, the distance being repeated in each heat. First heat--E. Round (green), 1 ; Henry Davis (red), 2; E. Bryant (dark blue), 3. Second heat—John Bryant (pink), 1 ; Thomas Spencer (yellow), 2; Wm. Lane (light blue), 3. Third heat—Davis, 1 ; E. Bryant, 2. Fourth heat—E. Round, 1; E. Bryant, 2. Fifth or Grand Heat—Round, 1 ; Bryant, 2. The men went away very well together, and at a firm pace. The winner shortly drew in advance, kept the lead, and won by upwards of three lengths. CRICKET. SUSSEX V. THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND WITH PILVH.—This exciting match was resumed yesterday ( Tuei day ) morning, Sussex, with the formidable score they had obtained over night, with the loss of only four wickets, going in again with every confidence of winning, and, a c cording to a ll appearances, win they will, Marylebone find themselves at the close of the first innings in a minority of 130 runs. Mary lebone went in again at ten minutes to six upon the runs, and up to seven o'clock, about half an hour before the stumps were struck for the day, the game stood as follows : Sussex.—First innings, 265. . . Marylebone —First innings, 138; ser:ond innings, 30. SMALL DEBTS AcT.—Yesterday the Act for the better securing the payment of small debts was issued. In every stage of the measure alterations have been made, and it was only on receiving the royal assent on Sa' urday that it was known that further c , .rrections could not be made until Parliament again assembled. There are twenty-five sections and four schedules in the Act. Singularly enough, it dates its operation just twelvemonths from the passing of the Act which liberated some hundreds of poor persons who were in custody for sums not exceeding 201., and prevented the incar ceration of some hundreds of others for like sums. It will be well if a reaction does not take place, and creditors proceed to extremes, under the provisions of the new law. Debtors may now be induced to " make their peace" with their creditors without putting the machinery of the new law into operation. The general effect of the law appears to be, that a creditor who has obtained a judgment, or any order for payment, from a competent court, for any sum not exceeding 201., can expe ditiously and cheaply summon a debtor to the Court of Bankruptcy, or Court of Requests, provided the latter is presided over by a barrister, special pleader, or an •attorney who has been ten years in practice. The debtor may be examined as well as the creditor, and, should the debtor fail to attend, or make a satisfactory answer, or shall appear to have been guilty of any fraud, either in the removal of his goods, or the contraction of the debt, he may be sent to prison for a period not exceeding forty days, which imprison ment is not to extinguish the debt, nor is it to be got rid of by an order from the Court of Bankruptcy or Insolvent Debtors, but the judge who sent him to prison may order the discharge on satisfaction being made by the payment of the debt and costs. One of the last amended amendments States that the actual necessaries of the debtor shall not be seized in execution, and allows him goods, tools, &c., to the value of M. The jurisdictions of the present inferior courts may, by an Order in Council, be extended to 20/. and all such applica tions must be a d vert i sed i n the Loan Gazette one month before they are considered. Witnesses nut attending when summoned may be fined bl., to be enforced in like manner as payment of any debt recovered by a judgment. There is power given to execute warrants against the person or goods of a debtor against whom an order has been obtained, notwith standing the removal from the jurisdiction of the court in which such order was obtained. The Act is only to apply to England. The forms to be used and the fees to be charged are set forth in the schedules of the Act. Creditors and debtors may be their own lawyers in the matter. Provided the small debts' courts are extended and presided over as mentioned, very few actions will be brought in the superior courts for amounts under 201. The Act took effect from Sa turday last. PHICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at „Paris is 9i per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. Wit'. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex c h ange o f 25 ‘ 3.4-; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 52i, it follows that gold is 0.55 per cent. dear er i n L on d on than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4341 2 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 94; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex change at New York on London is 1091 per cent.; and the par of exchange between . England and America iicio;2; 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is o.th pc. cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must he added to the above difference. . .

By the Fidelia packet-ship, which arrived on Monday afternoon at Liverpool, we have advices from New York, the most interesting portion of which is, probably, a copy of the manifesto of the Mexican Republic, under date of the 14th of June last, declaring war against the United States, on account of the decree of that body. sanctioned by the Executive, annexing Texas to, and incorporating it with, the Federal Union. The document thus promulgated by the Mexican Governor ent is con• - ceived in a becoming and independent spirit, tied ex pressed in dignified and dispassionate terms. We have never permitted ourselves to regard the question of this alxorption of the Texan territory in the narrow point of view under which some of our contemporaries look upon it ; that is, in reference merely to the value or extent of its present or future commercial relations, its positive or contingent importance to this ccuntry. We should as soon induce ourselves to estimate the bearings of the Oregon question by an approximated calculation of the value of all the peltry furs brought into the North -west Company's ports adjacent to the mouth of the Columbia River, or the aggregate tonnage which enters and de parts out of those waters in the course of a year. In neither case is the question to be determined one of money value or its equivalent. It involves far more ex tensive and important considerations ; it is to be de cided on principles which govern the rights and protect the integrity of nations. Those principles cannot be bet ter announced than in the language employed by the Mexican Government. In denouncing the conduct which has been pursued by the Congress and Government of the United States, throughout the whole course of the dishonest and disgraceful transactions commenced by the laze General JACKSON, organized and matured by the ex- President TYLER, and consummated by his successor, Mr. POLK, the head of the Mexican Republic says, " This mode of appropriating to itself territories upon which other nations have rights, introduces a monstrous novelty, endangering the peace of the world, and viola ting the sovereignty of nations ;"—" that the usurpation now consummated to the prejudice of Mexico has been in insidious preparation for a long time," during which, on the part of the United States, " the most cordial friendship was proclaimed for Mexico ;" the faith and obligations of existing treaties being, by Mexico, in the interim, " strictly and legally observed." There is not one tittle of these pregnant averments which are to be disputed. The evidence to their truth has been sup plied by the repeated acts, and declarations, subsequently acknowledged, of the Government of the United States, and of its accredited functionaries. It has been, in our times, the favourite maxim of most of the " statesmen" of the Federal Union, that " might is right." No higher justification has been either relied upon or cared for, by the native and official apologists of their exterminating warfare and usurpations against the red men ;" their,vindication of slavery ; their foment- ing of the divisions and troubles of Canada ; their inso lent violation of all international law in the case of Mr, M‘LEon ; their convenient " repudiations" of the public debts of their States ; their extravagant pretensions to the Oregon ; and their now gravely propounded doc trine—after a publicly-uttered " extacy" of Mr. PERCI VAL MoNRO to the effect that the destiny (forsooth !) of the United States required that no further settlement by any other nations of the world could be allowed upon their continent—that the time is at hand at which the supremacy of the Federal Union must be asserted over the whole of the New World. We have the lowest possible opinion of that statesmanship, which can com mit itself to the errors of such an unprincipled, but hap pily suicidal, scheme of policy. But we entertain the gravest fears that its pestilent manifestations cannot long be repressed without bloodshed ; for they are, as Mexico solemnly affirms, " incompatible with the peace of the world and the sovereignty of independent na tions." There seems little probability that the excite ment of such an aggressive feeling as now agitates the population of the United States, under the incessant fostering of impetuous democrats and reckless theorists, can be stilled by the calm reasoning, or the wise remon strances of the few WEBSTERS and EVERETTS, who can be found wise enough, or bold enough, to impress upon their countrymen the virtues of moderation, political in tegrity, national honour, or financial good faith. Meanwhile, what is to be the issue of the contest be tween Mexico and the United States ? If Mexico be left to her own disorganised resources, the struggle will be long protracted, sanguinary,. harassing—but not doubtfuL Mexico must fight the natural strength, and present the natural bulwarks of her territory, against her active and acclimatised enemy ; but in the end, we fear, she would be forced to succumb from the want of material forces, a disciplined and paid army, or an organised militia. But will she be unas assisted ? Will she be 1-ft to succumb by those great European Powers, who have disposable material forces and disciplined and well-paid armies—and fleets to boot—against which all the military and naval power of the United States, were it quintupled to morrow, coal make no head,—but which some of these Powers cannot reckon on long retaining if they tolerate the successful assertion of pretensions against the independence of Mexico, which would, in their turn, be assuredly soon set in motion against their own authority and rights ? If Mexico have no navy, no cruisers—they have. If the coasts of Mexico may be easily scoured by United States' cruisers, the sea-board of the United States' territory on the Atlantic —that is, the portien of those dominions which embraces their fairest and richest cities and harbours, stores and public works—is equally accessible. If the United States' Go vernment have hitherto been unable to comprehend, or unwilling to respond to the forbearance and self-posses sion which far more powerful Governments of the Old World have manifested in treating for the adjustment of claims upon the latter, the extravagance of which has been afterwards owned to by the former in the language of vaunting self-congratulation, those European Go vernments may not be disinclined to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by the aid to be given to Mexico of reading to the United States a memorable but fearful lesson. The United States may be taught in a manner not to be forgotten by the remotest pos terity, the danger of Governments attempting to blind other nations to the . flagrant character of the political crimes they are bent on perpetrating, by provoking a weaker Power to a war, from which they anticipate political aggrandisement to themselves—political annihi lation to their victims. They may find that the dragons' teeth they sow will grow into an armed host, by whom they themselves must fall. " Neque lex justior ulla, Quail . ' necis artifices arte perire sua."

SHOCKING CRUELTY.—A Spanish journal states that a short time back, as a dealer in leeches was travelling on a by-road in Estremadura, he was stopped by a band of thieves, who demanded his money. He assured them that he had none about him, having expended all that he had brought with him. Having ascertained that he had told the truth, they in revenge for their disappointment thrust his head into the sack in which h _arried his leeches, and bound it tightly round his neck Soure country . people passing by, not long afterwards found him . lead, he having been bled to death by his own stock.— Cra SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) FRENCH V. FULLER. The plaintiff in this action isi a country dealer, residing at Galleywood Common, Essex, and the defendant is a farmer at Tillingham, near Ma!don, in the same county. The demand was for 3/. 10s., the balance of a bargain on the sale of a horses Mr. Crouch appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Chadwick Jones for the defendant. On the part of the plaintiff it was deposed that in August last defendant asked plaintiff if he had a horse to sell, and after a good deal of haggling, it was agreed that defendant should have a grey horse on payment of 21. 10s. down, another 2/. 103. when plaintiff came round his next journey, and 10s. more if the horse worked well through the seed time. In cross-examination it was elicited that the plaintiff tra velled in a van, in which he lived, the horses were turaed off at night, and got into any fields where the gates were open. —(Laughter.) They got into defendant's fields the night be fore the sale, and defendant took some goods for it. Could not say whether the horse was of age or not.—(Laughter.) Another witness deposed to a subsequent conversation, wherein the defendant distinctly promised to pay 3/. more on plaintiff's next journey. A third witness proved that the horse worked for eight or nine weeks, and ploughed an acre a day. After seed-time the horse was starved to death from neglect. Sergeant JONES addressed the jury, and said that in all cases where a horse was concerned, there was a great deal of contra dictory evidence. He, howeve►, hoped to convince the jury that there was no absolute bargain, but that it was to depend on whether the horse turned out well. Witnesses were then called, who swore that the 21. 10s. was to be returned, and the horse given back if not ap proved of, but that plaintiff refused to take it back. They swore that the horse was not worth 55., that it had no strength, even to eat, that it was twenty years of age, that it had no teeth, that it could not draw the plough, but that it required three others to drag it along. Its weakness was declared to have been so much that it could not stand up even to be killed. Mr. CROUCH, in reply, contended the horse had worked well for nearly nine months, and was-then left to die from sheer neglect. The SECONDARY said the ,'value of the horse was not the point; the first question was, whether there had been a con ditional bargain, next, whether, if so, the defendant was not bound to have returned the horse at an early opportunity, if he disapproved of it. .They had heard something about a tres pass by the horse, but that did not bear upon the question. Mr. PAYNE ( the Coroner), who held Sergeant Jones's brief, submitted that the notice as to the hone was sufficient. The SECONDARY said the proper course would, on the horse being rejected, to have given notice that he would be held liable for the keep. Verdict for plaintiff, da►eages 21. 10s. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (TilIS DAY.) Michael Murphy, Thomas Garriewan, John Mullins, and Benjamin Wildey, were charged with picking pockets in Lei cester-square. A person named Moore had seen them pick the pocket of a woman, and had given an alarm, when they ran off. He saw them again in the evening, and pointed them out to a policeman, who took them into custody. The police said the prisoners had been known as thieves for many years, and had been convicted of various robberies. Wildey was concerned in an extensive burglary, committed about twelve months ago, but escaped with only three months' prisonment. Mr. MALTBY ordered the prisoners to be remanded until Friday next, when ru?re_conclusive evidence is expected to he brought against them. ' ' LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A special as well as a general meeting of the share holders in this Company,.met this day, at one o'clock, in the London Tavern ; W. Shadbolt, Esq., Chairman, presided. The Secretary, Mr. ADRON, read the advertisement calling the meeting, as also the Report, of which the following is an ribsrraet : The Act of Parliament authorising the Company to let their railway on lease to the South. Eastern (Dover) Railway Com , party, received the royal assent on the 21st day of the last month ; by it the Corni!any isAnPowered to reduce the number of Directors from nine to five, two, of whom are to go out of office annually, but to he eligible for re-election; your Direc tors would accordingly suggest that their number should, from this day, be reduced to five, and their remuneration to 2501. per annum, from the Ist of July last. Your Directors have given notice to pay off, on the 31st day of January, 1846, the mortgage or bond securities, unless the holders thereof shall, on or before the Ist day of October next, signify, in writing, their consent to accept interest thereon after the rate of 41., instead of Si., per centum per annum, heretofore payable. Owing to unavoidable delay, the sale to the South-Eastern (Dover) Railway Comptiny of the land not included in the - lease has not been completed, nor the purchase-money (18,0001.) received ; bears interest at 41. per centum per annum, from the 25th day of March last; the loan from the bankers of 15,0001., bearing a similar rate of interest, has, in consequence, not been liquidated. It will be seen by the statement of accounts that the estimates of your Directors of the value of the assets and liabilities of the Company, have been fully borne out by the results ; and, after paying interest on the mortgage debt, and having satisfied, or provided for, every demand on the Company, your Directors feel justified in recommending that a dividend be declared of four shillings and sixpence per share on the unpriviledged shares, to be payable on the Ist day of September next. The CHAIRMAN said it was his pleasing duty to move that it be adopted,.aaid; that done, he should be happy to offer an expla.nagonArn any matter desired by the .=shareholders. w . Mr. HITCHINGS TYl,l` sadly second the adoption of the report, because 'it was so much better than he ex pected. lie should long ago have sold their balance for 500/., and now he found it realise nearer 5,0001. The report was then adopted by the meeting. Mr. HaTcuirros called attention to the case of Thomas Conden, who had, in December, 1842, been injured by a concussion, and had, as appeared by his petition, been at intervals under medical treatment from that time. As he (Mr. Hitchings) had been, however, informed that the, petitioner was 1:1_ - !,So incapacitated, but that he was able to earn 20s. a week, he proposed that no present sum should be voted to hial, - ,but that he should be sup posed to have a elaiiii,pp,tiN company. The DEPUTY-Cna:initiN Siidiuch a course would be very inconvenient, and as there was as item already in cluded in their balance sheet of gratuities to old servants, he should propose as an amendment that 101. be added for Conden, and his claim discharged. Mr. WLENNAN said that one of the servants of the Company, who was now out of a situLtion, had been com pletely overlooked, and he should, therefore, suggest that his name be also adds d. He referred to Mr. Hoare, who had a wife and eight children, and he thought that 25/. would not be too much under the circumstances. A PROPRIETOR thought they ought to he just before they were generous, and, c?msidering the state of that Company, he thought..the Shareholders should be con sidered before the servants who had all along been re ceiving their salaries fur the labour performed by them. Mr. Alderman HUGHES said it w as not an uncustomary thing to bequeath a something to old servants, and a. the Company might now be considered in an expiring state, he could conceive no time better fitted than the present for tha' object. The less to each Shareholder would be a mere fractional part of his dividend. Mr. M'LENNAN then moved that 61. be awarded to each of the five money-takers, 251. to Mr. Hoare, and 101. to Mr. Conden:, resolution was seconded and carried. Mr. CORNEY had but one word to say, in reference to the constant remarks that were made about tie wretched state of this Company. lie would but draw attention to the fact, that win r. they received the ultimate 45,0001. from the I)over Company, they would then be receiving 4:1 per cent. on their total expenditure of a million. He thought. therefore, things were not so bad as represented. Mr. HITCHINGS said that had no reference to the old shares. On the motion of Mr. IliTcrirstus, a vote of thanks was awarded to the Chairman and Directors, for their energetic measures under very difficult and embarrassing circumstances. The meeting then broke up. CHICHESTER ELECTION.—Lord Arthur Lennox was on Tuesday re-elected for Chichester without opposition. IRON, HARDWARE, AND METAL TRADES' PENSION SOClETY.—Yesterday, the annual general meeting of the donors and subscribers to this institution, established for the purpose of granting permanent pensions to decayed members and their widows, was held at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street ; W. B. Simpson, Esq., Treasurer, in the chair. The report, read by Mr. Taylor, the Honorary Secretary, stated that since the last annual meeting, notwithstanding the unprecedented depression which had so universally existed in the trades during that period, several new members had joined the institution; and that it had progressed steadily and satis factorily. The donations and subscriptions during the past year (including a munificent benefaction from R. W. Ken nard, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents, of 100 guineas) amounted to 641/. 25., which sum, with the balance in the hands of the bankers on the 11th of March, 1844, and dividends on stock, showed a total receipt of 1,457/. 17s. Id. The sum of 1,0001 had been invested in trustees' names in the purchase of stock in the Three per Cent. Consols, leaving a balance i n the hands of the bankers of 387/. I,ls. 2d. Report adopted. THE NEW COMMANDER FOR THE CAPE.—Rear- Admiral of the White James Richard Dacres has been ap pointed by the Earl of Haddington to succeed Rear-Admiral of the Blue the Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., as Commander in-Chief of the naval forces on the Cape of Good Hope station. Rear-Admiral Dacres entered the navy in 1796 ; was made a lientenant, 1804 ; commander, 1805; captain, 1806 ; and ob tained his present rank in 1814. In 1807 he commanded the Bacchante, and in conjunction with the Mediator performed a gallant exploit by taking the fort of Samana and several priva teers and other vessels protected by it. He afterwards corn minded the Guerriere, and in her, in 1812, made a very gal lant defence against the much superior force of the American frigate Constitution, previous to being captured by her. In 1815 Captain Dacres was appointed to the Tiber, 38, at Wool wich, and in 1833 was appointed to the Edinburgh, and com manded that ship on the Mediterranean station. Rear-Admiral Percy was appointed to his command in 1841, which station then included the Cape of- Good Hope and the Brazils. The latier, however, is now made -a - separate command, to which Inglefield; CAL, was appointed in March last, anil it is now known as the south-east coast of America station ; the command of Admiral Dacres, therefore, is confined to the C4l eof Good Hope station. It is most likely that the Alfred, 50: lately paid off at Portsmouth by Commodore Purvis, from thk Brazils, on account of being such a good serviceable ship anh in excellent condition, will be selected for the flag of Ad mi;ral Dacres, to relieve the Winchester, 50, Captain Eden, now bearing the flag of Admiral Percy. PALACES AND I'OOR'S lATE.—The question w? - .ether tl - 4 inhabitants of royal palaces are liable to be rated for the sit 'port of the poor is again to be contested. At the petty sessions at Staines, yesterday, application was made on behalf of the parish of Hampton for distress warrants against the in habitants of Hampton Court Palace for enforcing the payment oflpoor's rate. In 1839 the matter was tried and a mandamus was obtained from the JUdges of the Queen's Bench, ordering the magistrates to issue warrants for the rate, which after a long dejlay, had been paid. Since then, however, no other rate had been paid by the occupants of the palace, as the question, it was alleged, had not been properly tried, and there are arrears due to the amount of 3,000/. It is now intended to raise the question again, but the granting of the warrants was postponed fo further consideration. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SUN - STREET.—This morn in about half-past three o'eleek, a dreadful fire broke not in ti,e workshops of Air. Tucker p!-Ine-mnaker, Sun-street, sildpsgate. The neighbours and police soon assembled, and - with great trouble rescued.the family. None of Mr. Tucker's property could be saved. Several other buildings were also da maged. 3 :ell On Saturday afternoon we were visited by one of thee' extraordinary storms that has swept over us for many Ye g ee o A eentleman of our acquaintance first saw it, while bet w .,d, Pakefield and Lowestoft, caning inside the Newcombe Samo_, It continued to sweep along the coast, till it came to Gorlest:., pier, where it crossed over the residence of Capt. Smythe, 11 ...5 0 but with tie great violence. It proceeded thence, at a ter' ro , rate, along the east bank of the river, across the gasw°,,,il where it took off part of the roof from the retort-house. a' " we r as from the purifying and the tar-houses, which are much leo, buildings. As it swept over the north gasholder, the bod y employed on the works were greatly alarmed lest thP large ribed of gas should escape, and produce an explosion. They cl es— co ra. the holder, which is substantially fitted inside, as beini,. pletely collapsed. Several boats in Mr. Beeching's yard, a d) ing the gasworks, were blown over, and many were lifted ea ed the water. The crane at the Trinity-wharf, which was fal t ld, to a 1-lcvit. iron sinker, lying on the ground, was blown Nu 03 and stopped only by falling against the house. Three or four on the wharf were obliged to throw themselves at 00 , ground, and seize the mooring rings, to prevent being 1)1 ° 0 , away. 'The south door of the Trinity warehouse being er a , the wind entered, and lifted part of the roof, so that the P ing lines were separated seven inches from the principals, dali c a the walls, although the roof was tied on very securely , lb aioie prevented its being carried away altogether.

THE HARVEST. 0( As the state of the harvest has become of late one of the current topics at the Stock. Exchange, where eleiolo effort is made to produce an unfavourable irnPre 9s t he from its present prospects, the annexed extract froni aG Bantle's' Circular may be quoted as a moderat ?ft lit feeling, since this is a publication care°6l/1° - - collecting facts relative to the harvest : h " On the exciting and very interesting subject of ts: harvest let us first refer to facts, and primarily to t t lf ere relating to the stock of old wheat. Last year t i ll , ' ; was new wheat sold at Mark-lane in the month of d'7 o . this is the Bth day of August, and not a bushel of ! 3 , ,g, wheat has yet (we believe) been gathered in this k J :a dom—indeed, that fact is certain. ConseqUe'oo. we have completed a full measured year of sumption, and rather more. Yet we find that tbe s ijo plies of old wheat of home growth, at almost all er e country markets in the wheat-growing districts, b a d .., o a larger in thy first week of August, 1845, than theY,.the been in any preceding week during the whole 01 - if twelve months immediately preceding the first we e o re, August. We are told by a letter from an acquai ut3 t " of who has till now doubted the accuracy of our repotlarge stock, that on visiting a village in his neighT ) be hood wh€ re a great quantity of wheat is produc,,, found every farmer had ' a stack or stacks of old " 0 1 of 100 quarters or more.' He does not say hovv o °4l bad two or three stacks, nor how much they had st° ,'o3 away in granaries. A capitalist in the north of Bagt'liold advised an intelligent corn-factor to lay in a stock o f t he wheat. The wa=, " I dare not buy much, , 0 1 price cannot be high; there is such a sight' of old Wifein the hands of the farmers.' We quote the Pref., of words ; and, having stated these faits in confirmat i° ;" to our views respecting stock, we need not again edg er ' the subject." - 103$!
