Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post Sve., A NOVEL. 0 0 D. " The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could • hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a ai rater of genius, inspired bye 111411 standard of morality and religion, ans by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this Irem the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Dis:aelis, Man nerees, And Smythes."—Observer. •• • Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great go.al taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts In the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and Impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Pest.

Seldom, if ever, has a Prime Minister occupied a more enviable and honourable position than did Lord JOHN RUSSELL when, last evening, in the House of Commons, he suggested that a public funeral should be awarded to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Although in accordance with some expressed wishes of the late Right Hon. Baronet that suggestion will not be car ried into effect, it will be a source of unspeakable gratification to the whole community that such an offer on the part of the Government and of the Crown has been actually and voluntarily made. In follow ing out the dictates of his own heart, and in obeying the wishes of her MAJESTY, Lord JOHN RUSSELL at the same time, in his proposition of yesterday, only gave voice to the anxious desires of the people. This is a fact so obvious that it hardly requires to be again mentioned, and yet it is too significant to be passed over in silence. Thus, even: in the House of Lords, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE could not omit an allusion to that public expression of sympathy which, as he so beautifully and truth fully observed, " unasked, unsolicited, unthought of, emanating from all classes of society, has been at tending—l wish I could say cheering—the dying moments of the public statesman." Few Ministers have been so popularly beloved as Sir R , )BERT PEEL, and few, if any, have by such painful sacrifices in the popular behalf acquired such a right to the consola tions of popularity. Fickle as the multitude pro verbially are, the people (according to M. THIERS' subtle distinction) have an almost instinctive appre ciation of their true friends, and they cherish an un dying love for their actual benefactors. Thus an universal but evanescent admiration may be excited by some brilliant and plausible oration, a large majority may be summed up, or a powerful faction organised by party measures and Nlachievellian ingenuity ; but such triumphs are ne cessarily ephemeral, and we defy the most subtle and sagacious of political charlatans to devise any means of attracting to his death-bed the simple but unmistakeable evidences of popularity such as have so eloquently pronounced the most sublime of pane gyrics upon the statesmanship of Sir ROBERT PEEL. As a popular Minister Sir ROBERT PEEL has been lamented, and as such he cannot pass away unho noured by his contemporaries. The public generally will regret that clear expression of his wishes which will in this case frustrate the popular expectation. Still the wishes of the dead are sacred ; and if Sir ROBERT'S own family and friends believe that such a kind of honour would have been repugnant to him, then far be it from us, as it will be far from the wish of any one, to infringe in any manner the sad sim plicity of that last scene. There are, happily, other ways of testifying the national feelings, and we cannot doubt that when the first shock occasioned by the sudden bereavement has abated, some worthy memorial will be erected by the people in token of their lasting gratitude to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Even now the thought of such an offering, and its immediate preparation, will be a welcome so lace to many a sorrowful heart. True, we are aware, alas ! that " No storied urn or animated bust Can back to its mansion call the fleeting breath; Nor honour's voice provoke the silent dust, Nor flattery soothe the dull cold ear of death;" yet is it not a sweet and an almost irresistible impulse with humanity to scatter the tokens of love and sor row over the graves of the unresponding dead ? Who has wept for a friend and not so testified his grief ? Who has loved and not desired to be so remembered ? As, therefore, we would religiously encourage all such evidences of family and friendly affection on the part of individuals, so in the same way we should be loath indeed to see a public man— one who had devoted his energies to the service of the people—pass away unremembered by some evidence of popular regret. We need not dwell upon the subject now, confident as we are that it will be immediately and unanimously responded to. One other reflection suggested by this—a theme so fruitful in sad and useful suggestions—is not wholly of a melancholy nature. It has been said that a cure for ambition may be gained by wandering among tombstones, and on such sad occasions as this late lamented accident many truisms are uttered on the vanity of human wishes, and the nothingness of power and glory. Admitting the general truth of such remarks, the sight of a grave or the news of a death, so far from damping ambition and the desire of glory, may be and should be regarded rather as an incentive than other wise to the desire for true distinction. While death, the sudden death of the great and powerfu', too surely exhibits the impotence of earthly might, does not the near contemplation of a death-bed enforce upon us the important sign i fidcaayns soothing o e f ta o hr f inoig l a i h f m e , ef o dh f ei t t a h td a i oy t ni dying life g? couchwhose with c willi o o r n e such Thus we see plainly revealed the wide differige difference of real and false, of gold a nd glitter. %v ecan the recent occupant of that couch of pain, looking back, let u ith consola tion upon the eventss hole, o le, his momentous f career. Can we, however, imagine that any onyfn aguish con-ola tion which may have cheere d those hours arose from the remembrance of the high dignities with which he had been invested, or of the wealth which had continually surrounded him ? It was not the fact that he had held office, and had possessed the confidence of his SOVEREIGN, but the remembrance that he had sought, and, as far as in him lay, had effected the good of the people and the welfare of the nation—not that he had governed, but that he had governed well. It was this thought that must, if any retrospection could, have cheered the dying hours of Sir ROBERT PEEL. And, not to dwell upon political matters only, the discriminating and liberal patron of the artF, the ready and sure benefactor of suffering merit, he whose timely aid was gratefully chronicled in the diary of HayDoN, and whose table, by a not common custom, has been continually graced by the presence of authors and artists, must have been enabled to contemplate, not without satisfaction, the too often humiliating recollections of the past : " For not around his honour'd urn Shall friends alone and kindred mourn; The thousand eyes his care had dried Pour at his name a bitter tide, And frequent falls the grateful dew For benefits the world ne'er knee•." Such assurances as these cannot but be full of con solation to those who sympathise in the sorrows of the bereaved family at Whitehall-gardens, and they only tend to strengthen our belief that death—sud den death—instead of depressing, should be an incen tive to the energies of humanity. True, pomp and parade are out of place among the tombs, yet who shall deny that death is not wholly without eory, Ns hen life has been productive of good? We heartily congratulate the shareholders in the South -Eastern Railway Company on the result of the prcceedings at the special general meeting held yesterday. The object for which the proprietors had been called together was, that authority might be given to the directors to raise on mortgage any fur ther sum or sums of money, not exceeding in the whole the sum of 1,000,0001. sterling, at such rate of interest as they might deem expedient, under and by virtue of the powers conferred by an Act passed dur ing the present session of Parliament. It had pre viously been ascertained that the above sum would be sufficient to complete all the un finished works, to enable the company to fulfil its engagements and to close its capital account—a " consummation devoutly to be wished for" by all persons interested in the welfare and prosperity of the undertaking. It would, in fact, as the Chairman justly remarked, place the large and valuable property, in which they were concerned, on "a permanent and lasting basis." Although the South-Eastern Railway Company has not been exempted from a participation in the de preciation that has attended every description of rail way property, there is every reason to anticipate that it will also share in the " good times," which we hope and believe to be coming. There has recently been a great increase of traffic on the line. The judicious arrangements that have been entered into by the managers, for affording facilities to travellers to or from the continent, have produced their natural results. The weekly accounts show a considerable addition to the average receipts, and fully warrant the expectation that the dividend to be offered at the next half-yearly meeting will be considered highly satisfactory by the great body of the shareholders ; and that there will be every prospect of a further gradual improvement, until the concern may be re garded as returning a handsome remuneration for the capital invested. We say, " the dividend to be offered at the next half-yearly meeting," advisedly, and with a full knowledge of the injunction that had been obtained for preventing the declaration of any dividend until the completion of certain portions of their works. The statement of the Chairman, how ever, that before the next general half-yearly meet ing that difficulty would be completely removed, must allay any apprehensions which might have been entertained as to the inconvenience and annoyance that would be occasioned by even a temporary stop page of the dividends, on which many persons are dependent for the comforts and even the necessaries of life. Such an assurance was no doubt received with the greatest pleasure by the great majority of the share holders. It had not, however, the effect of producing the unanimity that is so much to be desired. The private dissensions, the personal ani mosities which have been so painfully con spicuous in former transactions, and which have tended "to mar the prosperity and depreciate the common interests" of the company, were still percep tible. In place of co-operating to promote the welfare and prosperity of the undertaking, in which all were interested, some honourable gentlemen were willing to injure their own property in order to gratify their acrimonious feelings against the board of directors. They would carry out their suicidal policy at any cost and at any risk. The most bitter personalities were consequently indulged in against the directors generally, but more especially against the Chairman, and an amendment was proposed expressive of a want of confidence in the board. The admirable temper and imperturbable calmness of Mr. MACGREGOR, however, defeated the objects of his assailants. He passed by the coarse and unwarrantable aspersions that had been heaped upon him in contemptuous silence. He had already appeared before a committee of the shareholders ; his entire conduct had been strictly investigated, and after thaticlose and searching inquiry, and the full and complete acquittal which followed that investigation, he might well despise and disregard any repetiti )n of the bygone accusations. If ever man could plead autrefois acquit, Mr. MACGREGOR might have done so. The report of the committee of investigation, published in May, 1849, contains the following passage, which must be conclusive on the question : " Your committee cannot conclude this report without special allusion to the Chairman of the company, who, it must be admitted, has been, as it were , on his trial; :hey have already shown the utter groundlessness of the charges which have been alleged, or rather suggested, affecting his integrity in the administration of the finances of the company: they, moreover, feel bound to state their conviction that, notwithstanding errors of judgment and an undue assumption of individual respon sibility, his conduct has been honourable throughout, and marked by a sincere, unflinching, and, excepting in his character of a very large proprietor, a disinterested de votion to the interests of the South-Eastern Company." When such a verdict as that above given had been returned by a body of high-minded and honourable gentlemen, we can scarcely understand how any persons could be found with sufficient hardihood and recklessness to repeat the former charges. The decision of the shareholders, however, clearly proved how futile were such attempts. The amend ments were successively rejected, and the original resolution, empowering the directors to raise the ne cessary funds, ultimately carried by large and over whelming majorities, indeed, not more than four or five hands were raised on behalf of the dis sentients. Again, then, we congratulate the shareholders on this auspicious result. They may be well assured that there is nothing more dangerous to the common welfare than an undue and unwarranted distrust of those in whose hands the management of their pro perty is placed. It is as injurious as the blind and unreasoning confidence that formerly existed. The latter might perhaps encourage those placed in authority to enter into undue and hazardous specu lations, the former would cripple their hands, para lyse their energies, and prevent them from doing anything, however urgently required, that might possibly expose them to censure personally. There is but little prospect of the one error being now com mitted. The danger lies the other way, and care must be tAken lest "in avoiding Scylla they may fall into Charybdis." If direct charges can be preferred capable of being substantiated or rebutted, let them be fully and fairly investigated ; but let shareholders regard as their worst enemies those who bring for ward vague insinuations and general aspersions —who resort to "tho shrug, the burn, or ha! These petty brands that calumny doth use " awl who, for the gratification of their own walevo lent'and vindictive feelings, would damage their own pr ‘speett as well as those of their brother share holders.

The markets for Colonial Produce have been tolerably active this week, and prices have been steady for the principal articles of consumption. Sugar, however, has been somewhat in favour of buyers as regards the lower descriptions. Cuff eis held firmly. In spices there have ben fair transactions, and Cotton, Indigo, and similar staples, have sold well. The New Zealand Company is placed in a singular and somewhat interesting position. After struggling on through hardships, difficulties, and, doubtless, some mismanagement, it is now discovered that the advantai:,e of those who have embarked their eacital therein wiq be best consulted by resigning their charter into the hands of Government, according to the Act of Parliament under authority of ' which they have received within the last three years pecuniary advances. It is undeniable that the settlers on the estates of the New Zealand Comf. any have had much ,to complain of, and although blame attaches to the Colonial-office, it is highly satis factory at least to know that if the company has not yet received the compensation to which it considers itself entitled, the settlers at Wellington, Nelson, and ()Lags, have, at public meetings, expressed themselves contented with ti .e arrangements of 1847, and anxious that the company should continue its operations. This. aft r ail the ill-ha-ling that has prevailed, is disinteres:el and c.smplimentary. The idea was entertained of organising under high auspices a new asso ciation, arel, as may be presumed, with an adequate capital, but this has been abandoned, and at the meeting of proprietors held yesterday, a formal vote was passed for the surrender of the charter. Active operafons are thus at an end, after having been carried ou for three years under the late agreement. We gather from the last report of the directors that the principles which have regulated their measures have been "to exempt new settle ments from the sources of risk and uncertainty which had proved so injurious to the old to fulfil former engagements; to secure the satisfaction of pre vious colonists, as the best invitation to future; to ex tinguish foreign interference and competition ; to ac quire and throw open lands for occupation ; to dis pose of these whenever opportunities offered, and individuals were willing to purchase ; but with out waiting for such purchases, to keep up a regular communication with each settlement, and pour in a continuous stream of money and of labour, se far as the means at our command permitted; and when necessary for setting on foot a great and important enterprise, to venture even so far to rely on the public spirit of our constituents as to pledge (conditionally) a yet further portion of their imperfectly remunerate:: capital; to remove every known occasion of dissatis faction or of danger, to smooth every difficulty, to in crease every facility, and to improve every detail in every separate process of the work of colonisation. It will be seen that the land sold to private individuals since April, 1847, has amounted to 13,582 acres, and the sum received for the same 27,9741., or on an average to about 4,525 acres, and 9,3251. yearly. This is exclusive of the quantity sold by the Canterbury Association. The passengers conveyed to the colony during the same period, in eighteen ships chartered by the company, and three dispatched under its supervision, of the aggregate burthen of 12,541 tons, have been 2,485. Exclusive of 25,0001. invested in Government securities, and 8.6211. cash advances to the Canterbury Association, the payments during the three years commencing on the 6th April, 1847, have been 203,3911.; and out of this sum, deben tures and other liabilities incurred prior to that dat amounted to 68,2151., leaving a balance of 135,175/ The aggregate of the three periods is 270,073 acres dis posed of, exclusive of sales in Canterbury and additional grants to original land purchasers; ships chartered by the company 76, and 19 dispatched under its supervision. making together 93 vessels, of the burthen of 46,578 tons; passengers conveyed, 11,6E0." The directors further state that throughout the southern settlements despondency has passed away, and that all is again promising. Sydney accounts of March 16 have come to hand. In the absence of arrivals from California the sales of merchandise for that market had declined, but a fair general business was doing. Advices of March 13 from Van Diemen's Land state that the emigration debt was about to be increased by the issue of debentures, and it was feared without com pensating results. From Port Philip, under date the 12th inst., the har vest is reported as very good in quality, but deficient in quantity. The Stock Nizrket has been exceedingly buoyant again, and the quotations are all higher. There is an absence of foreign news of inter-sr, and the excellence of the national trade returns, with the revenue ac counts to be made up this evening, and ex pectsd to be equally encouraging, add to the influence of the abundance of money. Consols have risen to 961 and 97; the New Three-and-a Quar ter per Cents. t 931 and 99; and the Three per Csnts. to 97i e. Exchequer bills have been 675. to 70;4. premium.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY. Since Monday, the arrivals of Eogfish Wheat for our market, coastwise as well as by land carriage, have been on a very limited scale. To-day, very few samples of either red or white were on offer ; while the demand ruled at, ady, at fully last we, k's quotations. From abroad, upwards of 10,00 qoarttrs of Wheat have come fresh to hand, in very middling condition. Selected parcels were scarce, and quite as dear, but all other kinds met a very slow inquiry, at late rates. The sup ply of foreign Barley was large, hence, the demand for that article was very inactive, and prices were with dif ficulty supported. M a lt—the s u pply o f w hi ch was limited—sold steadily, at very full prices. The show of Oat samples was not large, yet the trade ruled heavy, and late figures were with difficulty supported. Indian Corn was offering on lower terms. The Flour sold freely. In all other articles next to nothing was doing. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Barley. j Oats. Malt. Flour, 1 Wheat. _ . 1 Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

YOUNGHUSITAND. The plaintiff; who is a clergyman, brought an action against defendant On a guarantee. 'lle guarantee was given in favour of a stockbroker, who had been entrusted with 3501. to invest in railway shares; a portion of these shares were delivered, but there was a balance due of 701. The defendant allowed judgment to go by default, but an objection was taken that the stamp was not sufficient in amount. The SECONDARY held that it was not necessary to ' prove the guarastee, which was unlike a bill of exchange, which showed the stamp, but it was not clear what the stamp ought to be on a guarantee. The jury gave a verdict for 701, JOTHAM V JONES. The plaintiff in this action a surgeon at Barnet, (1 , - fewlant is a tradesman residing in Holborn, and the ac tion 191 s brought to recover the sum of V. 10s. 61. f r medicines supplied to defendant's wife.

DEATH OF SIR ROBERT PEEL.--011 Wednesday, in consequence of the n ews o f the death of S r Roh±rt Peet having reached Bury, his native town, the ringers rang a muffled peal, and the millute bell was tolled nearly the whale day. AMERICAN NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOU'FHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING. The United States Mail steamer Herman, Captain E. Crabtree, arrived off Cowes this morning, and after discharging her mails and passengers for Southampton proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. She brings specie 70,000 dolls. for Havre. We have accounts from New Yolk to the 20th ult., encicsing advice! from Washington, which state that the Com promise, as reported by the Commerce of the 13th ult., will certainly pass the Senate, and the opinion was gaining ground that it would pass the House of Representatives likewise. The Ohio Loan of 2,600,000 dollars, recently advertised, had been principally taken by parties representing European stock-jobbers of the expiring loan. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW Yoax, JUNE 20.--There was more doing at the Stock Exchange this morning, though the prices still indicate a downward movement. Erie IL IL, decline I per cent.; Erie Income Bonds and Erie Bonds, of 59 each, a ; Hudson River R. R., 2 ; iug R.

The business transacted has not been large ; many buyers were holding off tiil after the lit proximo in anticipation of a decline, while drawers, on the contrary, did not care to sell at quoted rates in anticipation of an advance. Among the causes of the present firmness is, that on the Ist of July about 1,200,000 dolls. is to be paid from the sub-treasury in this city as interest on United States Stock, a good portion of which is held abroad, and will doubtless go forth in the form of foreign ex change. If so, the rates will go still higher. We quote bills on Loudon 110 to 110 i, some drawers asking 1104. Paris, 5 274 to 5 224. The Cambria had arrived at Halifax.

The man Robert Pate, who is in custody on a charge of assaulting her Majesty, as she was leaving the man sion of her illustrious uncle, the Duke of Cambridge, in Piccadilly, on the evening of Thursday, the 27th ult., and who was remanded on this dAy week, was again brought from the House of Detention, Clei ken% ell, for re-examination, to the Home-office, this morning, at a quarter before twelve, in the custody of Superintendent Otway. Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, and Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk of Bow -street Police -court, were again in at tendance to conduct the proceedings, as was also Mr. Maine, one of the Commissioners of Police. The appearance and demeanour of the prisoner this morning were much the same as we described them last wet k, when he was first brought up at the Home -office. He looked somewhat paler than on the former occasion, and that seemed the only effect which his confinement had produced upon him. Shortly alter twelve O'clock the prisoner was ushered into the Council Chamber, where, besides Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate of Bow street, and Mr. Burnaby, his clerk, were assembled Sir George Grey, Sir John Jervis, the Attorney General, Mr. Cornewall Lewis, M.P., and a few other gentlemen of rank. The witnesses summoned to give evidence were Sir James Clark, her Majesty's ph) sician, Colonel Grey, Robert Renwick, sergeant footman to her Majesty, Joseph Bass, of 12, Pembroke mews, Beigrave-suare, the coachman of Lady Willoughby D'Eresby, James Silver, sergeant of police, and Samuel Cowling. The only two witnesses, however, called were Sir James Clark and Joseph Bass. Sir James Clark deposed that between eight and nine o'clock of the evening of the 27th ult. he was summoned to attend her Majesty at Buckingham Palace, and that he found a slight incises wound on the left temple of her Mak sty, accompanied by a swelling. Joseph Bass, the coa c h man of Lady Willoughby D'Eresby, proved that I'e witnessed the assault on her Majesty as she was leaving the mansion of the Duke of Cambridge on the evening in question, and identified the prisoner as the man who committ..d it. After the blow had been struck witness observed her Majesty put her hand up to her head. Mr. Huddlestone again appeared as counsel for the prisoner. The stick with which the prisoner inflicted the blow on her Majesty was produced, arid we had an oppor tunity of minutely examining it. It is a short black ,tick, called a partridge csne, about two feet eight inches long, and reirly half-an -inch in diameter, with a " gib " at one end, and tipped at the other with a German sliver ferule. Though small in point of thickness, it 1:els rather heavy fir its size, is by no means so elastic as an ordi nary can. , , and is an instrument by which a pretty severe blow might be inflicted: At the conclusion of the examination the prisoner was commi!led to Newgate, to take his trial for an cs3ault and misdemeanour on her Majesty; and Mr. Mine, the Commissioner of Police, was bound over to prosecute. The isitrisses also were severally bound over to ap pe,:r and giv, evidence on tle trial. A considerable crowd bad collected in front of the Home-office, to witness the arrival and departure of the prisoner. CHAPMAN'S BaITISII RAILWAY GUIDE for July will be ibund very serviceable by people about to travel, whether it be by land or water, or both, for it contains a world of very interesting matter on sub jects of universal concern Besides a steam-packet directory for England, Ireland, and Scotland, with every requisite information, it also forms "A Stran ger's Guide to London," together with hackney coach and cab fares, departure of the o mn ib uses f rom a ll parts of London to the stations, and the arranged communications between the main lines and the neighbouring towns and villages ; a list of British and foreign mail and steam packets, with a copious route directory, comprising the principal towns, with their market days, th e ti me f or t h e delivery of letters from London, the time the box closes for London, ste.; together with a monthly almanack and tide table, with a map of the railways, and all for the small price of sixpence. It is indeed an excellent and commodious travelling guide. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr. WEBSTER'S BENE FIT.—The benefit of Mr. Benjamin Webster, who has at all seasons and under all circumstances provided "at the little house in the Haymarket" a home and a welcome to the legitimate drama and all concerned in its productions, whether authors or artistes, takes his benefit next Monday, on which occasion we have no doubt the house will be crammed to overflowing by those anxious to do him honour. Be it remarked that during the last season, in addition to giving us Shakspere in the highest style of art, with Mac ready, the Keens, and Mrs. I% arner as his interpreters, Mr. Webster has produced besides a host of farces and bur lesques, two original comedies, which are already become stock pieces, and which are likely to maintain possession of the stage for years and years td come, the Serious Family, and the Catspuw. This is high merit, and we trust it will be properly appreciated Ma. BENNETT'S BENEFIT...4IF. Bennett, the polite box book-keeper of the Lyceum Theatre, takes his benefit this evening. The Nepaulese Ambassador, and his princely suite, will honour him with their presence, and oc cupy her Majesty's box on this occasion. POST•OFFICE SUNDAY DELAY.—At a meeting of the newsvendeis of the metropolis, held yesterday evening, at Farringdon-hall, Mr. Wild proposed, and Mr. Serle seconded, a resolution to the effect, that the closing of the Post-office on Sunday, for the delivery of letters and news papers, was arbitary and unjust, and that this meeting con sidered such a proceeding opposed to the feelings of the large mass of the people, and that the meeting pledged itself to make every effort to get the order rescinded, which resolu tion was carried by an immense majority. THE Scornsu FETE.—The members composing the finance committee assembled yesterday all the competi tors in the various games at the tete, to deliver the several amounts in prizes they were entitled to, as well as their ex penses for travelling, both of which amounted to nearly 4001. This is exclusive of the prizes for archery, which alone will come to 3001. The irregularity we referred to in our report of the dinner, in not being prepared to announce the names of the successful competitors, as advertised, arose, we are in formed, from the late hour to which the sports were conti nued the same evening at Holland-park. But the prompt ness of paying them their rewards so early on the following day compensates for the former disappointment, enabling them to return to their homes with the steamer that sailed the same evening for Scotland. The total amount of receipts taken is not yet ascertained, but the expenses incurred will not fall short of 2,0001. This large sum of the public money ought to be dealt with by an executive that were perfect in their unanimity, otherwise the knowledge of the existence of discord among the managers will cause a doubt in the public against their patronage being abused from party feel ing. The general body of members should take the initiative, and place persons in trust competent to carry out their views and the publie amusement, having their full confidence. It has been rumoured, with what degree of truth we know not, that the introduction of another society to assist in its ma nagement hes not been attended with any advantage, the arrangement not having bad the sanction of but a small number of the members of either society.s THE VzcE-CHAstoELLoit of ENGLAND.—It is said that his Honour has so far recovered from his severe illness, that he will be able to resume his sittings in Lincoln's Inn early in the ensuing week, possibly on Monday. REPRESENTATI'iN OF HEREFORDSHIRE.--HERE FORD, THURSDAY, JULY 4.—The contest for the representa tion of this county, rendered vacant by the death of Joseph Bailey, El., is likely to be one of unusual severity, both politier.i parties being determined to use every exeition to obtain a victory. An active canvass has been set on foot on behalf of Mr. Godson, brother of the late Mr. Godson, Q C., the member for Kidderminster. Mr. Godson, who is the I Protectionist candidate, has personally visited some few of the electors. It is said not to be improbable that another Protectionist candidate will appear in the person of Mr. Booker, a large landed proprietor in Glamorganshire, whose influence extends into this county also. As soon as the opi nions of the . Liberal section of the c ommun i ty can be gathered, some influential gentleman will be invited to offer himself. THE CUALLENGE TO FENCE.—This challenge, which was given at Willie's Rooms last May, offering to back Mr. Arnold, of Bond-street, to fence and box against any man in the world, is accepted by an American gentle man for 1,000 dollars a side. The affair creates great in terest. THE SUN " EXIT;ESSES• 'MT TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS n o Expie:,s N,:wspi,p,,r and AtiverlisTig Agency 265, StraLd, July 4.
