degree upon any peaceable neighbour—(Load cheers) — or to spare in the very least degree any hostile neigh bour—(Renewed cheers)—for that is the true rule of peace—never to break it, but never to suffer it with im punity to be broken—(Hear, hear)—and that, above all, they will carry back to their master the most positive assurance from a'l quarters, that no intention whatever exists to diminish by one acre the distance which sepa rates our eastern frontier from the western frontier of Chino.—(Loud and continued cheering.) " The health of the Lord Mayor" was the next toast; and his Lordship in few words acknowledged tk min-, pliment. Sir IJ. HOBHOUSE, in proposing the u ss ash of the Chairman," Chairman," passed a very high ettlogium upon him, an d an said he never transacted business w ith a man more I and in de termined to do his duty siv ) ends. the manner most likely butspersn to obtaanob his honou rabte ends. The CHAIRMAN .id the one obj ect n the directors The CHAIRMAN said td.hoefotnhee people of India, and the was to promote the approbation of the good in both countries was the re ward they hoped for._( Hear, Hear, hear.) Thu C I n proposing " the health of the Governor-General o f lndia," observed, that he was fully ARANI maintaining the high reputation he gained in the ser vice of his Sovereign in this country; and he trusted the Noble Lord's health might be long spared, that he might continue to perform his important duties with such credit to himself and benefit to the people of that coun try.—(Hear, hear.) The toast was drunk amidst much applause. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Visitors." Re• presenting, as they did, the vast multitude of people in India, the Company felt it their duty to testify their re spect in this old fashion of entertaining their friends— (Hear, hear)—and expressing their acknowledgments to the many deserving servants who were continually re turning from India.—(Hear, hear.) Bat ho would take leave to couple with the toast on this occasion the name of Lord Stauley—(Cheers)—a nobleman whom they all respected—(Renewed cheers)---and whom he was sure they would be happy to hear in reply to the toast. Lord STANLEY—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I can assure you, that greatly as I value at all times any mark of courtesy, far more any mask of cordiality, most of all whatever I can construe into anything like personal appro bation on the part of my fellow countrymen, there are indeed few portions of the community, there are few bodies, of whose approbation I should be more proud, whose praise I should be more desirous to obtain, whose good opinion I should be more sorry to forfeit, than that which is represented by the great assembly which I have now the honour of addressing, and over which you, Sir, see worthily preside.—(Hear.) It has been my fortune, in the course of a not very short public life, occasionally in office, nod occasionally out—more fcequently, and happily, the latter--(Laughter)—to be placed in various situations, and connected and m , xed up with various public services; it never was any good fortune to be connected officially in any degree with the affairs of the East India Company. Yet it is impossible far any man to have looked at the progress of this great country, its rising interests, the various quarters of the globe from which it derives strength, and wealth, and power, and not to be sensible how much of them it owes to that great and mighty empire in the east, over which the East India Cempany have pv , sided with an authority, a power, a prudence, worthy of itni ation by the mightiest monsacha in either hemisphere.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, if I look to the House of Lords, I find in that body the most illustrious names—those who have derived their honours and their titles from their services in the east. —(Hear.) If I turn to the army or tho navy, I find the services in Indi-. ennob!ed by the highest names in the highest services oi this country.—(He - ar.) There is hardly n civil bcrvia) in which those who have been brought up in the Indian service have not shown them- - selves worthy of the stock feem which they have pro ceeded, worthy of entering into honourable rivalry and Successful competition with those who have remained to try their fornine in their native country.—(Hear.) And it is the boast of the East India Company that to . the most distant countries, to languages unknown, to . rations whose customs, whose religion, whose manuers, whose all, differ widely from our owe, they have extended to some degree the imitation of our British habits—(Hear)—they have extended, at all events, the respect of the British name—(Hear, hear) — and they have extended the emulation of British industry, British intelligence, British enterprise.—(Hear, hear.) . '('hey have spteid to the furthest extremity o f their em pire the knowledge of the country to which they belong, and respect and veneration for that country.—(Hear, henr.) If there be an object more than ancther which, in the present aspect of the world, it is of importance that British statesmen should bear in mind, it is the de ielhpmene of the great resources of our Indian empire.— (Hear.) We owe to India a large debt. Our more success ful rivalry has, in great measure, extinguished the mann featuring industry of India. We owe, in return, to do all for that great empire which we can do to developo her natural resent - 0300 promote her industry, to increase her . wealth, increasing at the same time our own, while We spread at once the blessings of religion, of civiliza tion, cf industry, and of consequent contentment over untold millions of future happy British subjects.—(Hear, hear.) This is an object worthy of the ambition of statiesmen.—(ll . ear, hear.) This is an object far mere important than there of days happily gone by, when some paltry question of territorial advancement, some little jfalousy of national prejudice or national pride, would set the world by the ems, and embroil a continent in war.—(hear.) The days are gone by when war is to be considered as the pride and the boast—ay, even the most successful wars, and no country can boast of snore successful wars than onrs—(Hear)—the days aro gone by when the triumphs of war are to be recorded as the highest triumphs of nations —( Hear, hear.) The highest triumphs now are the triumphs of the advancement of civihzetion, of knowledge, of industry, of mutual friendship—(llear, hear)—and I know no higher triumph, I know no greater beast, than that to which we may point now; not that we have here, in friendly concert and friendly communication, those whom long habit has brought into constant intercourse in the usual and ordinary transactions of the affairs of nations, but that we are gradually widening what I may call our domestic circle.—(Hear.) We are gradually widening the circle of our friends—(Hear)—and among others, we see the Eastern chiefs and princes brought into close and personal communication with the civiliza tion and the power of England. —(Hear, hear.) We see our conquests extending, not by force of arms, but the conquests of our influence, our example, our proffer e d friendship (H ear ) hich I trust throughout the world will only bo exerted henceforth for promoting mutual goodwill, mutual good understanding, and fact : litatincr that friendly intercourse among all , na ti ons which has been facilitated to an extent that never could ~have been foreseen by our ancestors, nay, by ourselves, twenty years ago, through the marvellous discoveries :by which time and space have been almost annihilatel. —(Cheers.) I had no thought of addressing you to night; I have been led away by the kind manner in which the toast has been proposed and received.—(Hear, hear.) I ought to have limited myself to returning , thanks for myself and for all who are partakers of your magnificent and generous hospitality. I only -trust that hospitality which is the mark and the type of friendship will be the forerunner of the extension of general friend ship and universal intercourse among all the nations of the world on the same footing upon which we m ee t a t present at this friendly bo ar d.—(Loud cheers.) "The Civil Service of India," was the subject of the next toast, and Mr. E. GARDNER, who responded to it, stated that he could look back with great satisfaction to the period when he was the Resident at the Court of :liepaul, and to the harmony which p reva il e d i n bi s transaction s and intercourse with the en. fe end people of that country. It had always bean his endeavour to .cultivate kindly feelings there—feelings of amity and ,goon -will. " The Indian Army" was the last toast. It was drunk with cheers. The company then separated. The arrangenients of the evening in every depart ment was extremely good, and did great crefit to the establishment at which the festivity took place, and to those who, on the part of the East India Company, had the. conduct of the proceedings. Mr. Took attended -as toastmaster. In the gallery there were a number of ladies, who ap peared to be much interested in seeing and hearing all .that was going on.

Tsui D —Morning 21 min. after 7 I Evening 53 min. after 7 To-Mowtow— Morning 27 min. after 8 I Evening . 3 min. after 9 ful misrepresentation of their late proceedings in the Post-offie department, have at length resigned the matter to the discretion (llerven save th 3 mark !) of these religious firebrands—satisfied that a.fortnight's experiment of their project must, by an inevitab!e necessity, bring about its final and peremptory re- jection. A forcible remonstrance has already been-addressed to one of our morning contemporaries by one of the prospective sufferers from the concession made by the Government to the Sabbatarians The writer cf this communication, signing himself "A Liverpool M-r -chant," protests in the strongest terms against a change that must prove inevitably disastrous to tt e community, while it' will only rear yet more loftily the arrogant head of hypocritical intolerance. After insisting upon the necessity of the conformity of all the personal practices of these Sabbatariana with their vaunted theories of Sunday observances, the writer observes-L" When I was last in London (not many weeks back) it was my fortune to pass by the porches of more than one of your west-end chapels and churches- . -one of them in South Audley-street— about half-past one p.m. The number of gay equi pages collected round them was great that one might have supposed oneself to be assisting at the termination of a theatrical performance. Who groomed those horses so sprucely, who turned out those carriages so neatly ? It was done of course by hands; and who set the hands a-going ? It may be Lord ASHLEY may go on foot to his own place of worship of a Sunday; but will he tell us that every seventh day he satisfies his hunger with a sandwich cut over night, and quenches his thirst at the water-de canter upon his dressing-table ? If," he continues, " the practise of the neo-Postals fall one jot or tittle short of perfection, let them set their own houses in order before meddling with the necessary business of the country, even although an infinitesimally small proportion of that business must be trans acted •on the Sunday." In this require ment of consistency between the preaching and the practice of the Sabbatariani there is only the demand of common sense and rational forethought- These unconscionable pretenders to sanctity, more over, who are always recognising the mote in the eye of their neighbour,' while remaining totally innocent of the beam blurring their own vision, are perpetually assailing their opponents with little paper pellets of scriptural quotation, quite forgetful, it would seem, of that famous declaration of the Apostle,—" Let no man, therefore, judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days; which are a shadow of things to come, but the body of CHRIST." In de fiance or forgetfulness of this most solemn and ex plicit injunction, some miserable bigot has had the indecency to .discuss our title to a participation in what he calls the great Sabbath of the future, besUee commenting upon our possible non-admission to " the marriage supper of the Lamb,' and upon the probability of our resembling the man who "had not on the wedding garment." All this miserable indecorum of abuse is only in per feet keeping with that spirit of fanaticism and intoler ance, and hypocrisy, and superstition, which has recently fanned into a fiercer flame than ever the religious frenzy of the Sabbatarians. It is becauie we loathe more than words can at all express the very shadow of the semblance of cant, in regard to the forms or practices of Christianity, that we reso lutely adhere to our course of antagonism to these petulant purveyors of personality, ss ho would run any risk of plunging the affairs of the community into difficulty for the sake of wearing the most trans parent of all disguises, the mask of pretended Godli ness. Our sympathies must ever continue to be with that enormous majority of the population, who, since the days of lIUDIBRAS downwards, have cherished a mortal antipathy to all humbug, and especially to that most disgusting humbug which shelters itself under the awful and beautiful shadow of religion. Curiosity will not tail to direct the attention of the public to the report, given elsewhere in this evening's impression, of the magnificent banquet given on Saturday evening at the London Tavern by the Di rectors of the Honourable Fist India Company. On that occasion, it will be observed that the fostivitie were in honour of his Excellency General JUNG BA.. lIADOOR KOONWUR RANAJEE, tha Prime Minister of the Rsja of NEPAUL ) and now sojourning in this country in the character of Nepaulese Ambas sador. Throughout the whole proceedings the reader cannot fail to be interested in the expression of those sentiments cf amity which marked each and all of the speecheS delivered by the different illustrious per sonages in at tendance. Not the least significant of the various sentiments uttered throughout the night was that which Lord BROUGUAM articulated in his genial and emphatic peroration, where that Noble and Learned Lord exclaimed—" I venture to hope and trust for their sake (for the sake of the members of the Nepaulese mission), for the sake of their coun try, and for the sake of this country—permit me respectfully to add, for the sake of the Hon. Company themselves—that they may be enabled to carry back an ample assurance that there exists no disposition in any quarter of this country, whether in the Company or in the " India Board," as it is called in the east, the " Board of Control," as we call it in the west— (A laugh)—no disposition whatever on the part either of the Crown, or the Parliament, or the people, or the Company, to encroach in the very least degree upon any peaceable neighbour—(Loud cheers). — or to spare in the very least degree any hostile neigh bour—(ltenewed cheers)—for that is the true rule of peace—never to break it, but never to suffer it with impurity to be broken—(Flear, hear)—and that, above all, they will carry back to their master the most positive assurance from all quarters, that no in• teution whatever exists to diminish by one acre the distance which separates our eastern frontier from the western frontier of Chintr.—(Loud cheering.)"

A very strong impression forces itself upon our judgments, that in yielding so abruptly and uncon ditionally to Lord ASHLEY and his pious associates, Lord JOHN RUSSELL is not the dupe, but still the an tagonist of the Sabbatarians. That a statesman who has so long and energetically, and until now so per severingly and consistently, battled against fanaticism under all shapes, and against superstition under every guise—that a legislator who has withstood the grasp ing policy of an ecclesiastical discipline which would fain swallow up all the rights and immunities of the Dissenters—that a reformer of this character should now, at the eleventh hour, yield up the nation, bound hand and foot, to the will of a miserable minority of Pharisees is beyond the limits of the most extrava gant credibility. 'We cannot embrace the notion of such an enormous act of turpitude. Our belief can not comprehend the possibility of any such flagrant tergiversation. The whole career of the present First Lord of the Treasury is so vividly in our recol lection ; we remember so clearly all his noble efforts to adva nce t h e cause of civil, but also, in a peculiar manner, of RELIGtous liberty, that we cannot for an instant cre di t a change in h i m n so disgraceful, so piti able, or so ignominious. Only within the last few sessions we call to mind theelc quence with which he, England, and as the pr n n c d o p v n l ee , as one of the repr esentatives as the Prime Minist er of y il ears in be th h e alf c t f y the of L phalanx ' who ha of the i a je c e k n n o fi w g i h e t d in g g e d n c o h w am fo p r lo of toleration, advocated the claims of the Hebrew race in the person of t he Baron LIONEL DE It, IV CH ILD to represent that city in the Rothe of "s Com mons, which had been spontaneously accorded to him by the liberality of the metropolitan constituency. The conscience which cou ld swallow that camel of Jewish prerogative could surely never strain at this gnat of opposition to the Sabbatarians. No. We are satisfied, or at any rate we would persuade ourselves, that the Premier is acting in the manner be has recently indicated, not from any dereliction of his former principles, not from any willingness on his part to concede all things. to the rapacity of a few bigots, but from a secret re solve that by yielding up the question at issue entirely to themselves he will test secure their ultimate and permament die comflture. Any other conjecture than this would be opposed to all the known and actuating motives of political consistency. We endeavour to convince ourselves that the Government, indignant at the Wil• Oae of the most pregnant sources of the social and political evils of Ireland is confessedly the Land Question. All legislative measures for the improve ment of that unfortunate country must prove com parative failures till the relations between landlord and tenant be fairly and permanently adjusted. The object of the Bill for the sale of encumbered estates was manifestly to exchange a pauper and embarrassed for a substantial and wealthy proprietary. This measure was no doubt a wise one, and with a few amendments would be likely to effectuate much good, if the Irish tenant-right were first defined and legalised ; but again we say, until this question be finally settled, until, in fact, " the Ulster tenant right" become the law of the land, from one end of the country to the other, all efforts at legislation will be futile. No English capitalist will venture to in vest his money in the purchase of land in Ireland as long as the rights and duties of landlord and tenant remain capricious and undefined. We are glad to perceive that this vital question has been taken up in such a spirit as must force it on the immediate attention of the Legislature. The sturdy Presbyterians of Ulster have joined their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects in demanding the settlement of the tenant's right to his improvements in the land, " past, present, and future." A most important meet ing took place a few days since at Belfast, composed of a number of Presbyterian and Roman Catholic clergy men, and a great number of substantial farmers from the remotest parts of the province, at which resolutions were passed unreservedly pledging themselves to an union with the other Irish provinces ineseeking the es tablishment of tenant-right, founded on the ancient custom of Ulster, and we have no doubt they will persevere " till it be legalised and become the estab lished law"'through every province in Ireland. We cannot see that the subject is surrounded with much difficulty. The abstract right of man's " free use, enjoyment, and disposal cf all his acquisitions," is, according to BLACKSTONE, a right anterior to all po sitiveacaonondciotifnbtseht i ev t u iwo t a o ot n lee s d c_ w o d i m„ a mn t e ou v , nt - 30, e r v i gle Ina t a fwo staterh itchh the general of h gn e ean s t u a e 3 rr - ae s it was "occupancy" which gave a right to the tem porary use of the soil, so it is agreed that occupancy gave also the original right to the permanent property in the substance of the earth itself, which excludes every one else but the owner from the use of it. These are the principles laid down by BLACKSTONE and other Jurists on this subject, principles which all reas-n -ieg minds must admit to be soun , l, and the equity of which is potent to all thinking men. is, then, ett . te clear that the tenant or bolder of land has the 4 4 :- nal right which "occupancy" confers; and that. %hen by. his labour and industry he makes his possession more valuable, when, in fact, he converts his labour into permanent property, wo think it - would be quite as dishonest' and immoral to deprive Ibim of this convertible value as it Would be to take is purse or any other tangible property that is his. We are not disposed to set up any natural right in opposition to the laws of the land or the general -welfare of the community, but to take from a man the fruits of his industry, without rendering an equi -valent, we can view in no other light than an act o i. the greatest injustice and cruelty. It is depriving -man of the inheritance of his Maker—the enjoyment .of the fruits of his toil. It is a fraud on man and treason against GOD. The Government cannot want information on this subject. The report of the "Devon Commission" could supply them with all they require. The principle is tacitly recognized and acted on in the north of Ireland, all that is required is to define the " Ulster tenant-right," and make it the law of the land. When this is done British ca pital will find its way to Ireland, the Encumbered Estates Bill will work well, Irish property will not be sacrificed, nor Irish creditors ruined—the Irish proprietor will have a chance of something like fair value for his property, which is being now sacrificed in consequence of the us settled state of the relations between landlord and tenant, and the consequent agra rian outrages so frequently and fatally committed. What English capitalist will venture into a country where life and property are insecure? The true way to secure the life of the landlord is by insuring, the rights of the tenant Let the landlord have his reason able rent, but insure to the tenant the benefits of his improvements and his industry., Free trade has lowered the price of the necessaries of life. The landlord can well afford to lower his rent to the exi gencies of the times. The tenant cannot afford to sameeed rentit i s well known that land is as ,when c orn b roug ht a P h s ig Y h s e n : p w ric tie e l ; indeed Ireland is generally let far above its fair valuation, and until a substantial reduction shall take place, adequate to the present crisis, no permanent tran quillity or prosperity can be expected in that country. Tae labourer is entitled to a secure and perinanent interest in the soil Le cultivates and improves ; the purchase-money he invests in the soil is his labour. Labour, the fun laments! wealth of all nations, ha", we conceive, its "rights" as well as any other species of property, and those sights ought to be recognized, and guarded by the 'laws of the State, and rendered as secure and inviolable as any other rights whatso ever ; and until this be done, until the Irish tenant shall be secured a beneficial and definite interest in the soil be works, and renders productive, he will, naturally enough, remain discontented, while the person and property of the landlord cannot be quite secure. - THE FRENUI-1 REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. • The Committee on the Bill for the increase of the PRESIDENT'S allowance has recommended the rejection of the Bill as propoied, and the adoption of the fol lowing resolution ",An extraordinary credit of sixteen hundred thousand francs is opened at the Ministry of Finances for the expenses which have been incurred in 1849 and 1850, in consequence of the installation cf the Presid«nt of the li.epublic. The expenses sr ill be charged one-half to the account of 1849,- and one-half to 1850." The Ministers.have refused to accept this proposi tion, and should the Assembly confirm the resolution of the Committers they will resign. The resolution was agrted to by 9to G. The Committee appointed M. FLANDIN reporter, both M. ()BETON and M. DE MORNAY havingrefused to accept that office. The Journal des Debats announces that, on hear ing of the settlement of the Greek affair by Mr. `NYSE, Baron Baum;low protested against that ar rangement, and that the Emperor of RUSSIA has con firmed that protest. M. Tut Ells, returned to Paris on Friday, and en the same day MM. GUIZOT, BE BROGLIE, Du-. CIIATEL, and :DIMON, left Paris fur London and St. Leonard's.

LECIITENBERGER 13,057 The Journal des Debats declares that there is no truth whatever in the statement that LOUIS PHILLIPE is about to publish a political testament acknowledg ing the right of Fletyrti V. This contradiction was scarcely needed, it is utterly impossible that any of those who were concerned either directly or indirectly in the publication in 1830 of the protest alleged to have been made in England at the time of the birth of the Due DE BOUIIDEAUX, against his supposed rights to the throne of France, or who were directly or ii.directly parties to the shameful exposure of BLAME, can now come forward and give the lie direct to their own former proceedings in the shameless manner which any acknowledgment of the rights of IlEsini V. on their part would necessarily involve. The Duchess of ORLEANS, acting, it is said, under the advice of N. ODILON BARROT, refuses to be any party to the proposed reconciliation with the elder branch. Her supporters are in favcur of " a Con servative Republic" until the Comte DE PARIS shall become of age. The only question relative to Greek affairs remain ing to be settled between England and France is as to any demand that may be made. by Greeks for the seizure of their vessels. England demands a guaran tee against such claims, which guarantee is refused by' France. Letters from Macon mention that M. LAMARTINE was stepped there, on his journey to the east, by an attack of illness, which now confines him to his bed. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JUNE 15.

On Saturday La Tempesta was repeated for the fourth time, and the crowds asseratded outside the doors await ing the opening; was even greater than on the three former occasion*. The crush was terrific, and the house was crammed to suffocation within ten minutes after the doors were opened. The Celiban of Lablache, tfe Mi rands of Madame Sontag, and the Ariel of Carlotta Grisi, are three perfect marvels of acting ; of the Caliban of Lablache, we repeat what we said on the first production of,;the opera—it is far and away the most original and most perfect histrionic perform ance ever presented on any stage. The. spirited Brin disi in the second act creates every night an increasing furore, thanks to the buoyant spirit of reckless gaiety Mademeiselie Patodi infuses ieto it, and to her admi rable manner of rendering the music. There never has been a dramatic work presented to the public so com pletely free from what " Christopher North" was wont to call ." Balsam" as La Tempega. From the com mencement to the conclusion the interest never flags., the ear is never tired, the attention never wearied. It is perhaps, the best libretto that has ever been produced, and never has libretto been set to music more dramati cally than has that of La Tonpesta. It is certainly the chef d'auvre of llalevy, and is alone sufficient to :secure him an immortality. QUEEN'S BEN CH.-(THiS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, t‘t 'Westminster, before Lord CAMPBELL and a Spccial Jury.) • FOSKETT V. TIM LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY CQ3IPANY. This was an. scion to recover damages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff, a greengrocer, from en acci dent which ()centred on the 29th November, 1848. It appeared tb:lt cu that day the plaintiff was passing un der an arch of the Blackmail Railway Company, when he was struck on the back by a railway sleeper weigh ing about 42 lbs., which fell from the arch, and injured him so seriously that he was disabled from pursuing his vocation for a considerade period. Ile had been long under the care of a surgeon, and never having com pletely recovered from the effects of the blow, was now an out-patient of the L-ndon Hospital. • These facts having been given in evidence on the part of the plaintiff, who was represented by Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. tiergeent WIT HISS (with wham was Mr. Phip son), on the part (.f t tlefzudsnt, submitted that the sent of 301.. which had been paid into Court, was a sufficient compensation for the injuries which the plaintiff had received. Lord CAMPFEIL, in summing up, h ft it fur the jury to any whether or not 301. was a sufficient compensa tion to the plaintiff for thr injury inflicteel on him. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da magus 701. over and above the 304 paid into court. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, t.t Westminster, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. SMITHSON. This was an n.formation tiled by the Attorney- General, to, recon.r penalties from the defendant for wing two rocms for the manufacture of tobacco, which had not been entered in the books of the Office of Inland lievenuP, and also penalties for au alleged adn't , :ration of tobacco•. The Attorney and Solicitor-Generals, Mr. Watson and Mr. Wilde, appeared for the Crown ; and Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Wordsworth for the defendant. It appeared, f - orn the evidence, that owing to certain information which had been received by the Excise officers, they entered the premises of the defen dant, who carries on the business of a toLacco manufacturer in Alicklegate, 'York. on the 13th of December Ist year, and on passing through a kitchen or scullery at the buck of the base, their attention was attracted to a small door which they requested might be opet:ed; but some objection was made, and on being in formed that it was their intention to break it open, one of the defendant's servants produced the key, which enablaid them to effect an entrance. They proceeded up a pair of stars into a dark room, with which the stairs communicated by a hole or trap in the floor, and on procuring a light they discovered stowed away ten casks, which contained different quantities of tobacco. This chamber had not been regu larly entered. They also found that a room in the foreman's house, which was attached to the pre mises., had been used for the manufacture: of tobacco, although, like the other, it had not been regularly en terel at the Excire-office. On a further search of the premises being made, a parcel of dried leaves and a cask of powder, both of which were, no doubt, in tended fort a adulteration of tobacco. were discovered by the Excise officers. The whole of the above ar ticles, as well as a large quantity of tobacco, which was in the course of preparation, were sized. Upon an analysis being made, it was found that all the tobacco was more or loss adulterated, the adulteration in some samples being as much as 29-3 per cow.; the total amount of IN nalties sued fir by the Crown was 2,0001. At the conelosicn of the case fa. the prosecution, Mr. WILEINs intimated that an arrangement had htcreletbeing entered fionutondbyfor the Crown wt)ichth furdedoolan.t agi eed to a v A 'verdict for thw acnrunt was accordingly returned. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COURf. _ (More the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman HUNTER.) A middle-aged man, named Michael Hagan, who was respi•c:ably attired, was indicted for cutting and wound ing Mrs. Egan, his landltdy. It appeared that the parties were natives of the Emerald Ioe, residing iu the same houte. Some faw days ago a dispute arose between them about a lock on the prisoner's door and the virtues of the prisoner's wife, and during the " row" that ensued, amongst the friends of both sides, the prisoner struck the prosecutrix with an iron candlestick, and otherwise ill. treated her. This was•the aisau4, complained of. The jury found tha prisoner Guilty, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and The RECORDER sentenced him to 18 months' imprison• ment and hard labour. IVEIV COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE ) STEALING OATS.—Dennis. Dunn, 30, was indicted with stealing ono bushel of oats, one of beans, and one of chaff, value ls., the . property of Ri c h ar d P ratt an d ano • ther, and James Strltett, a coal-dealer, was indicted with feloniously receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. The prosecutors are Messrs , . Pratt and Sewell, the dust and water contractors, of Gray's Inn-lane, and the prisoner Dunn is in their service as carman. No oats and beans were proved to be lost, but two policemen gave evidence to the effect that they saw the prisoner Dunn on the day in question throw something in a sack into tho cart of the prisoner Sirkett, with which he gal. loped off. It was also proved that the oats and beans found at Sirkelt's stable were similar to those used by the prosecutors. Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bal. lantine defended the prisoner. The jury found both pris :ners Guilty. Mr. PARRY was instructed, on behalf of Messrs. Pratt and Sevrell, wl.o had lost a large quantity of hors© pro visions latterly, to recommend both prisoners to the merciful consideration of the Court. The CO3IMON SERGEANT in passing sentence said, that but for the recommendation of the prosecutors he should have passed a severe sentence upon the prisoners, as it was, however, he should only sentence them to one months' imprisonment and hard labour. Joseph Barker, a labourer, pleaded guilty to an in dictment charging with stealing oats and beans from the same prosecutors, and was sentenced to four teen days' imprisonment in Newgate. _ lIE BAPTISM or MORMONITES.—Yesterday even ing, at dusk, the inhabitants of Pentonville•hill were some what astonished at seeing two carriages drive up to the Pen tonville Swimming Baths, containing ladies attired in the most fashionable manner. The ladies were observed to go into the boxes, and begin to undress themselves. In the mean time the Rev. Mr. Cook, of the Pickering-street Mormonite or Latter• day Saints place of worship, had addressed the anditOry. Ile plunged into the water, his dress being made of Macintosh's waterproof cloth, and there awaited the ar rival of the ladies about to be baptised. He gave out a hymn, in the singing of which all present joined. After a short interval the ladies made their appearance in a bathing dress, and :after having plunged about the water for some minutes, they were immersed three times, after which the Rev. Gentlenein blessed them, and the ceremony of baptism, :according to the rites of the Latter-day Saints' religion, was terminated. The singing of a hymn closed the proceedings. It was stated that the ladies were suddenly struck with the ideas of the Mormonites relative to baptism, and at once consented to become followers of them, Their names did not transpire, though their equipages proved that they be longed to the higher orders of society. ROYAL FREE lIOSPITAL. —DREADFUL OCCUR." nrscE.—ii poor man was conveyed to the Royal Free Hos pital on Saterlay last under the following circumstances : It appeared that he had been employed at a lime kiln in the Caledonian•roal, Islington, and while at his work he fell off the aide on to the burning lime. His companions who were near ha9tened to render him the necessary assistance, and he was soon extricated. Th e i n j ured man, his flesh burnt in various places dreadfully, was .then removed to the Free Hospital. His recovery is considered very doubtful. FIRE IN Sono, AND Loss OF LlFE.—About two o'clock this morning a fire took place at the house of Mr. J9nes, No. 12, Pllcenix-street, Soho. It appeared that the persons resident in the house were all in bed, when a fire happened in one of the rooms of the lodgers. From the sta tions of the various fire brigade engines being near, several of them were so on on th e spot, an d , as water was ready for the firemen, they soon succeeded in arre..ting the progress of the fire. Unfortunate: , .-, however, the loss of two lives was the consequence, an d two others were removed to the hos pital so dreadfully burnt, that their lives are despair ed of.

The Cotton Market at Literpool on Saturday was qeiet, the sales being estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, at about previous rates. The transectione comprised 2,400 American, 500 Brazil, and 300 Surat.—Railway Shares were steady, at previous quotations. The market for Corn is very dull to-day. Accounts from Birmingham report still a very limited demand for iron in Sta&rdthire, and state— " The staple trade of our district remains in a very critical position. During the whole quarter the generality of our works have not bad more than half employment, and that without profit; and while it is abundantly evi &tit that great difficulty would be encountered hefore a reluced scale of wages could be established, there is no probability that prices of iron will rule blither. The resumption of business by the nailmakers, and a slight revival in the chain and hardware trades, have arrested the downward movement in ;els wad come other pecu liar descriptions of iree consumed in the manufacture of those articles; but the probability of any actual im provement is remote." By the steamer Europa late advices Lace been re eeieed from the United States and Canada. At New York public securities were still rather tending upwards, rind most of them are said to rule hi her than has been known for years. The demsed fur Bills of Exchatige on London had been active, and at firm rates, viz., 94 to 10 per cilia premium. The Cotton marker had an upward tender cy after the receipt of the advices by the steamer America from Liverpool, and it is asserted that large as is the falling off in the leceipts, it would have been much grea'er but for the diminution of stock in the interior deiots, which the rapid rise in the rivers had made it necessary to secure by seeding forward to the ports. It is further asserted, but we receive the statement with ail proper reservation, that the crop re cently planted is utiquestionably the most unpromising ever grown in the United Stare's,, Corn was a shade lower upon the accounts from Eegland. The general state of trade on the other side of the Atlantic appears to he satisfactory, tend a re turnef the commerce of New York for the month of May shows a total of nearly 4,000,000 dollars, about one-half being to Great Britain. A very limited quantity of bree.dstutis had been exported during May, and even less, it, was said, would be sent iii the present month. The acetunts from the interior relative to the supply of bra aelstuffs were unfavourable, and some parties were predicting au important rise in prices before the lapse of many days. -The Canada accounts are to the Ist inst. The last sale of superfine flour et. Montreal was at 21s. 6d. per barrel. Tee number of vessels from sea arrived at Quebec to the Ist instant was 330. of 137,647 tons, being •an increase of 75 vessels and 35 923 tons. The difference between the Indians and the Quebec Mining Company had been settled, and a large force of miners had arrived there. The weather at Montreal had been unfavourable for business, but nevertheless considerable activity had prevailed, particularly in flour. The rate of exchange on London was. 11 to lil ; Government were in the market, and the large are.ount for which they were privileged to draw would halve a tendency, perhaps, to depress notes. The ashes market was de pressed. Freights were rather lower. Respecting the tim ber market, advices from Kingston et.s.tes " that the trade in manufactured timber (or lumber, es it is usually called in America), which has of late years sprung up between Canada and the United States, is increasing prodigiously. The county or Northumberland is this spring exporting vast quantities from its ports in the lake. The ports situated on the Bay act Quinte, and the sv hole tract of country watered by the river Trent and its attributariee, are alive to the pros prct of the new market for the produce of their saw-mil Is. From the Napanee River, • three .millions of feet, b. in. will be shipped at Oswego; and th e mighty Ottawa puts firth her giant streneth in the endeavour to supply the wants of our neighbotirs on the southern side of the line 45 deg. The Rideau navigation well likewise con tribute about five millions feet, broad measure, most of which will he shiped via Bytown and .Burlingtore One forwarding house bar, we understitnd, engaged to transport two-millions to et of the Rides u lumber. The California intelligence is chef ring. At San Francisco, on the Ist May. great activity prevailed in thelnarkets, and the prices cf Merchandise were advanc ing. An immense number of enpgrants were starting fur the mines. Over one million of collars had been re ceived at Panama on the 21st ult. Havatinah dates of May 21 represent the excitement' as being very great, and it was feared some da cteties would arise with the American Go vernment concerning the treatment of prisoners. Sugars had been in active Certaand, notwithstanding th© decline in England. Vessels adapted for sugar were plentiful, and the last charters to Cowes and near ports were at 2L The exchange on London - was 11 to 12 per cent. premium, many houses relusing, to dral; Paris 2 to 3 per cent. oiscount. Pernambuco accounts of April 2.s . state that fine white Sugar was in request. A contituance of the dry weather would bring forward •considerable quantities, and with the scarcity of vessels might cause a decline in prices of all except superior white, but on the other hand, it was generally supposed that the present crop would prove much smaller than the former. The rebel lion' in the interior was suppressed. The Continental advices are not interesting in refe rence to mercantile affairs. 'At Amsterdam on thallith instant Dutch Stock was a little' ealter- .. - There is a heavier market for Public Securities, more than one circumstance having conduced thereto. The statement from St. Peter burgh that; the Russian Go vernment highly approves of an .uncoixipromising policy on the psrt of Denmark, and the idea that the .b*teneli Ministry is unstable, togetl- with come disappoint ment felt at the non-fettrvineet of the Greek affair, and the note of Count Neseelrode upon the .

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY•) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY• Vest of the country markets held on Saturday Ve ra; steady for most kinds of English Wheat, at full price.s. In Foreign qualities, very little was doing. GrindiA Barley moved off fresly, at late rates • but malting toid distilling parcels commanded very little attention. Fine Oats were quite as dear. In all other Grain, as well as Fleur, very little was 'doing. We have advices from . New York to the 6th instant. The Flour trade was active, at further advanced rates. Wheat and Indian Corn were looking upward in price. In the near Conti nental ports very little has teen doing on English Or count. The trade up the Baltic is heavy. The arrival* of English Grain up to our markets last week were small. From abroad we received 17;14 4 quarters of 'Wheat; 7,213 ditto of Barley; 13,236 ditto of Oats; 1.313 ditto of Beans; 286 ditto of Peas; 4 ditto of Tarts; 75 ditto of Linsee d; 1,844 ditto of Rapeseed; 54 ditto of Mustard seed; 139 ditto of sundry Seedsh 798 sacks and 55 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals ref Wheat. from Essex, coastwise, were moderate; but the is from Kent, Suffolk, &c., were small, By land-carris 4e and samples, the receipts fell off; and the stands el.lll - a very moderate quantity of both red and yr Aite• The fsvour able accounts at hand, respecting the general appearance of the growing crops, and the continued arrivals from abroad had considerable influence upon the buyers; nevertheless, selected qualities of English Wh'ess —both red and white—moved off steadily, at price s t qual to tho'e obtained on this day se'nnight. In the middling and inferior kinds comparatively little business was transacted, yet a fair clearance was effected prior $ 0 the conclusion of business. ' Severnllargo offers, to ship wheats at present prieeh were received from Yorkshire and elsewhere. As a large portion of last week's supply of foreik,e Whvat bas passed direct into the hands of the miller'', the show of that grain to-day, even including the rigid oomph's, was limited. Really fine qualities were,in, fair:request at fully previous rates; but the middling Oa inferior kinds moved off slowly at unaltered quottittollo• No English Barley was brought forward. The quaralki of foreign was, however, tolerably good. Grinding:Per; eels sold freely at fully previous rates. In malting and distilling sorts next to nothing was doing; but we have no change to notice in their value. Matt, the supply of which was on the increase, move d ' off slowly at barely last week's prices. The show of home-grown Oats was very small, tht,t of foreign but moderate. Selected parcels were meek,' held for rather more money, and the demand for otaer• kinds ruled steady. In Beans, the quantity of whic h offering was small, very little was doing at late rates. The sale for Peas was inactive, but we have no change to notice in prices. Indian Corn was offering at 30s Pe r quarter for Galatz. In the value of Flour we have no change to report. A steady business was doing in ca °l3t. qualities.
