Now, when we look upoa the immoderate sum Extracted annually by the Queen-Mother, Curtis- TINA, from the impoverished treasury of Spain; the costly wages of treachery and cabal appropriated to such creatures as NARVAEZ ; the sumptuous civil list of the young Queen Regnant, ISABELLA ; and the state and splendour maintained by the Spanish Court, in melancholy contrast to the misery of the Spanish people ; shall we be told that the English holders of Spanish Stock shall not be paid the interest on their coupons ? It is high time that our guilty for. bearance on the subject of Spanish dishonesty should cease. If the Finance Minister will not provide the money to defray the interest on these coupons, or can not, letour Government insist on its being contributed out of the appropriation to the enormously dispropor tionate Civil List of Spain, the " secret service money,'' the " Royal Pensions," and the Menus plaisirs fund—if need be,—of the QUEEN-MOTHER and the Senor Munoz• The Spanish bondholders have a claim which no British Minister can safely resist, for the vigorous interference of the British Cabinet on their behalf with that of Spain. We have accounts from Madrid of the 17th instant. At a meeting of the editors of the various Opposition papers, both Absolutist and Progressista,:it had been agreed to re spectfully petition the Queen to abrogate the ordinance against the press. A new daily paper, entitled the Concileador, and represent iag the Absolutist-Moderado party, which acknowledges the Marquis DE VILLUSLA as its leader, had appeared at Madrid on the 16th. At Tarragona, on the 14th instant, a most alarming riot took place in consequence of the quinta or conscription. The troops were attacked by a furious mob, armed with clubs and knives. The soldiers being ordered to fire, one of the rioters was killed and another wounded, a great number being made prisoners. Some of the prisoners were embarked on board the brig Cannibal. Tranquillity had been completely restored when the last accounts left. Disturbances had also broken out at Reuss on the 12th, but they had been promptly quelled. M. GISPERT, the political chief of Barcelona, has been dis missed by NARV.AEZ for the weakness with which he acted during the recent mate. The real cause of offence is said to have been M. GISPERT'S promise of pardon to those who would lay down their arms within a certain time—an act of enlightened humanity, and therefore most abhorrent to the feelings of NARVAEZ. As M. GISPERT is brother-in-law to General CONCHA, it was supposed the latter would resign, in which case, either Baron DE MEER, or General MANUEL BRETA would succeed him. General FULGOSIO is to be the successor of M. GISPERT. The arrival of the Duke FXRDINAND of Saxe Coburg at Lisbon had furnished matter for gossip to the gobe-mouches of Madrid, as the Duke's son had been spoken of as one of the candidates for the QUEEN'S hand. On the subject of her MAJESTY'S marriage, the Castellano says:—" The QUEEN MOTHER has addressed a very affectionate letter to the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, on the occasion of the fete of his son, Don ENRIQUE. The QUEEN-MOTHER ex presses herself highly satisfied with the excellent qualities she has discovered in the young Prince during his stay at Barcelona. These, and other rumours, formally contradict the discord which was alleged to exist in the royal family!' It would appear, however, that the Presse, which is the organ of the Christina party, that all this is a mere ruse to prevent the progressistas from:starting: Don HENRY as their candi date, and that CHRISTINA is still labouring assiduously to procure for her daughter either aCarlist or a French alliance. M. PEDRO MIRANDA and two other engineers had left Madrid to explore the country through which the projected railroad between that capital and the Basque Provinces is to pass. The Three per Cents. closed at 28% for cash and 29! , ,' 3 at 60 days, and the Debt without Interest at 6 1546 for the 29th inst. The Heraldo ascribes the fall to the uncertainty existing with regard to the journey of the QUEEN to the northern provinces. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. All the political notabilities had quitted, or were quitting. Paris for the provinces. Marshal SOULT left for his estate in the south of France on Tuesday, and in a few days M. GUIZOT was to leave for Normandy. I►f. SAUZET had already set out for Lyons, in which city Don CARLOS and the Princess of BEIRA had arrived on the 22d. The Moniteur gives a long account of the splendid reception of the Duc DE MONT- PENSIER by MEHEMET Au. It would appear, from the fol lowing extract from the Debits, that AnD•EL-KADER is again in the field : •' Letters from Algiers of the 16th state, in a positive manner, that ,bd-el. Kader has returned into Morooco. He has not re joined his deira, which is still encamped on the banks of the Mel lonia, but is at Lika, in the Sahara, on the southern part of the .._ _ • _ territory of the Hallafs, to the south of Ouchda. It may be re remensbered that Tisza is the principal town of this important tribe, and that towards the end of last year Muley Abderrhaman sent positive orders to the Hallafs, forbidding them to _ _ _ hold any communication with Abd.el.Kader. It is thought that the Emir has with him at Lika about from 500 to 600 horsemen. Scarcely had our indefatigable enemy re-entered the Moorish territory than he recommenead his intrigues to keep the minds of the Arabs m a state of agitation and uneasi. nese. He sent letters to all the tribes in the south, announcing that in twenty days he should make a movement towards the east, to return into Algeria. He declares that he has with him about 3,000 cavalry, and slon expects considerable reinforcements. The greater number of the Marabouts, who were the instigators and leaders in the recent insurrections in the Dahra and the Ouaren cents, having with great difficulty escaped the resentment of the people who wished to place themselves under French authority, have taken refuge in Morocco, and rejoined the Emir. These ac- counts have, doubtless, been much exaggerated by the Arab couriers; but, making due allowance for this, it will be necessary to watch with attention the part of the country bordering on Mo rocco. Abd el.Kader appears to have chosen Djebel Amour for the centre of his fresh attempts against Algeria. This range of mountains is situated under the meridian of the Miliana, at about fifty leagues to the south, and is not less than fifteen leagues in length, and between ten and eleven in breadth." We give the following from La Presse " In Turkish Croatia, as in several other Ottoman provinces the people are in arm against the Government. On the 9th of July they violated the Austrian territory, and suddenly assailed the military cordon guarding the frontiers. The Austrians, whose numbers were very inferior, lost three officers and three hundred soldiers. The insurgents had thus wished to avenge themselves on the Austrians, who had too generously afforded a refuge to the ex pelled Turkish authorities. The Austrian Government has lost no time in demanding satisfaction, and adopting energetic measures to prevent the recurrence of such aggressions."

Cambridge and Lincoln have fallen again to 1 prem. ; Direct Northern are very heavy; Leicester and Bedford are rising; Great Western are supported at the advance of yes terday ; Oxford and Worcester are good ; Rugby and Tring, and South-Eastern flat; and South Wales and North Kent have improved, the following being extracts from the report of the Provisional Committee just presented to the share holders " The present meeting has been delayed to enable your Committee to ascertain the amount of all outstanding de mands against the Company to this time, and they are ena bled to state, that the expenses from the 29th of January last will not exceed fifteen shillings and sixpence per share. This result, when compared wit's what is known to have been expended in other contests, will, the Committee feel, be regarded with entire satisfaction by the Shareholders. "The complete and comprehensive scheme now brought forward will require a capital of 3,300,000 L, which it is pro posed to divide into 66,000 Shares of 50/. each, and it is in tended that the same shall be issued on a deposit of 21. 10s. per Share, upon the conditions of the forthcoming prospectus. " In renewing their application to Parliament, your Com mittee will obviate the objections urged against their Bill in the Committee, by bringing forward the entire of the scheme originally contemplated. The undertaking now proposed will be for the formation of a direct line of railway to Dover, commencing near the Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, and proceeding by Blackheath, Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Sittingbourne, and Canterbury, terminating at Dover, and by branch also at Deal ; with other branches to Maidstone, Sheerness, Faversham Quays, and Chilham, and also uniting, by its communications at Canterbury, with the line already authorised to Ramsgate and Margate. " With reference to the recent Parliamentary inquiry arising out of the singular petition presented by the South- Eastern Company to the House of Commons-we will only observe that, whatever might have been the views of those who originated that step, it has not left the slightest imputa tion either on this Committee as a body or any individual connected with it." * ; 1 ,4 , ONI . 0. , 1111• _ • • doire—r- -2' 7‘- „.. , • m 0 'iCttgl,o"nr, moot IN .

The THIRD EDITION of THE SUN of last evening contained-- The conclusion of the day's proceedings before the Rail way Committees of both Houses of Parliament. The Parliamentary Proceedings of the Evening, being a Report of the Debates in; the House of Com mons, up to a Quarter before Seven o'clock. lytnin_c LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1845. The Lords met at Five o'clock. Earl BATHURST brought up the report of the Select Committee on the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill. They reported that the most systematic frauds had been had recourse to, to procure the requisite number of signa tures to the subscription contract, and they had decided not to inquire further into the Bill, without directions from the House. The Earl of BESBOROUGH then gave notice that be should, to-morrow (this day), move that the Bill be no further proceeded with. Lord BROUGHAM then recurred to the question of pri vilege, to which he had adverted on Tuesday evening, and said, that after the explanation of Mr. FRENCH. the preceding evening, he had no desire to trouble their Lordships further in the matter, reserving to himself the right of proceeding criminally, if he thought fit, against the Times and Morning Chronicle, which last paper had published the offensive speech, and had also offensively commented on his conduct. After a few words from the Earl of Wicxtow, the matter dropped. Lord CABIOYB brought up the report of the Committee on the Runcorn Railway Bill, finding the preamble not proved. In answer to Lord MONTEACLE, The Duke of WELLINGTON said that some measure was in contemplation to alter the present mode of swear ing witnesses before Railway Committees. Lord CAMPBELL suggested that Committees of the House of Commons ought to have the power of examining witnesses on oath. Lord BROUGHAM moved a resolution that an address be presented to her MAJESTY, praying that she would be gracieusly pleased to give directions that the new Houses of Parliament might be ready by the beginning of next session. The motion, which was supported by Lord CAMP BELL and the Earl of WIcKLow, and opposed by Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Lord SUDELEY, was lost, on a division, by a majority of 24, there being—contests, 16—non-contents, 40. Lord WHAuNcLIFFE moved the second reading of the Lunatic Asylum Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND opposed the motion, and pro• posed that the Bill should be referred to a Select Com mittee. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that a clause in the Bill had passed through the House of Commons by mis take, and therefore it would be better not to proceed further with the Bill. A message from the Commons was here announced, requesting their Lordships to expunge the clause in question. A long conversation followed as to the course to be pursued in such a case, and it was ultimately arranged that the second reading should not be proceeded with, but that a new Bill, identical with the present one, with the exception of the clause in question, should be in troduced and read a first time. This was accordingly done, and the second reading was fixed to-morrow (this day.) On the motion of Lord STANLEY, the Commons En closure Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday. The Colleges (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. Several other Bills were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at twelve o'clock. The Coal Duty Bill was read a third time. On the motion that the Bill do pass, Sir JAMES DUKE moved a clause authorizing the pay ment of a drawback on coal carried in barges to the west of Staines. The clause was opposed by the Government, and lost on a division, the numbers being for the clause 24, against it 37. Mr. HUMS proposed the omission of the clause im posing the penny duty. This motion was likewise lost on a division, _the numbers being, for the motion, 24 ; against it 41. The Bill was then passed, after an energetic protest on the part of Mr. HUME, against the consideration of measures such as this Bill at the morning sittings. The Small Debts Bill (No. 3) was reported. The Church Building Acts Amendment Bill passed through Committee. Mr. B. DENISON moved that it be an instruction to the Committee upon Group X of Railway Bills, that they have . power to divide the London and York Rail way Bill into two or more Bills, if they think fit. Viscount COURTENAT explained the course which had been adopted by the Committee, and which had rendered this motion necessary. Mr. P. M. STEWART remarked on the irregularity of the proceedings of the Committee. After a few words from the SPEAKER, also com menting on the irregularity of the proceedings of the Citmmittee, the motion was agreed to. The Stock-in-Trade Bill was read a second time. Upon the motion that the House should go into Com mittee on the Brazilian Slave Trade Bill, Mr. M. GIBSON called upon the Government to hesi tate ere they passed a measure calculated to involve the country in a war. Sir R. PEEL defended the measure, and, after some discussion, the House went into Committee on the Bill. The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the House resumed. Several Bills were then advanced a stage, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock. In the debate of Tuesday last, in the House of Cum. mons, on Mr. EWART's motion, there were some points mooted of remarkable importance to the interests of the general body of consumers in this country and to those of the industrial community more especially. Mr. EWART declared, on moving for the total repeal of the duties on butter and cheese, that in the course of last year only 20,000 cwt. of butter were destroyed, which might have been previously disposed of with great ad vantage to the poor, but for the duties levied upon its importation, which would not have allowed the im porters any adequate profit on the sale. We are to imagine, from what transpired in the coarse of the dis cussion, that this enormous quantity of one of the most indispensable articles of food was destroyed in bond. Thus, no less than 2,240,000 lbs. of this commodity were, so to speak, wilfully sacrificed, instead of being placed within the reach of the poor, and the owners, the im porters, must have sustained a loss, assuming the value at only 4d. per lb., of 37,3331. Imagine this value dis tributed among 1,000,000 poor families, for a fortnight's supply of this nutritious article at the rate of upwards of one pound each per week, and contrast that measure of relief with this useless destruction of such a mass of it. May we not be permitted to doubt whether the case is not stronger for Mr. EWART's motion to repeal the duties whose mischievous operation is thus to contribute to revenue a precarious, though, indeed, an extensive contribution, at the cost of these wholesale sacrifices, occasionally, of a chief article of our subsistence ? Here is another signal evidence of the partial, oppres sive, cruel operation of our fiscal system on the hard working poor. Because, the wages of their labour are necessarily scanty, you unnecessarily increase the cost of those indispensable articles of food which they must purchase for the support of themselves and their families. There can be ne doubt in the mind of any reasonable man that the principle on which Mr. EWART'S motion proceeded was based on the broadest and most simple foundations. It was right in theory ; because the theory of taxation spares necessaries, in order to fasten on superfluities and luxuries. By an obvious analogy the sound policy which withholds an impost on the food of the subject, should withhold it also from the raw ma terial of a home manufacture. Mr. EWART'S motion was justified, practically, by the irrefragable fact we have just noticed of the destruction of 20,000 cwt.. of a commodity which, pending a state of the market that would have enabled the importers to sell, after paying the duty, at a profit, it had, from its perishable nature, become necessary to destroy. If one could separate the consideration of the dis tressing consequences to the poorer classes of our swarming, and, we fear, underfed population, that result from the self-convicted absurdity of such imposts, there would be something absolutely ludicrous in the official solemnity of Mr. Gouustrax and the pompous compla cency of Sir R. FEEL, exhibited in their respective re- plies to Mr. EWART'S speech. The former gentleman, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, resisted the motion for going into Committee, on high and enlightened axioms of sound policy, indeed I He could not allow such a reduc tion of the revenue as the affirmation of the motion would lead to " at this late season of the year," for " to do so would involve the country in considerable diffi culty." Why there was nothing in Mr. EwART'S pro position to prevent the Right Hon. Chancellor from ex acting a pledge, if it was thought necessary, that any recommendation of the Committee should be subject to an instruction that it was not to take effect until after a specific date to be named. And as to the possible " diffi culty" in which it might involve the country (that is, the Treasury Chambers, No. 10, Downing-street), does the Right Hon. Gentleman allow nothing on the other side of the account for the millions of his fellow-subjects who are already, and have long been, involved in almost hope less and absolute difficulties by these and other such grinding imposts on articles of indispensable consump tion ? " When he considered that, in one year, the duty, amounted to 347,3001., he could not accede to the propo sition of the Hon. Gentleman." But if he will extend this process of consideration to the fact that this annual amount of 347,0001. is levied on the poor, the very poor, at the rate of 20 per cent. on their butter, and 50 per cent on their cheese, can he satisfy his own mind as a finan cier, or his own feelings as a Christian, that he is justi fied in keeping up a duty so unfair, so onerous, and (as we have seen) so destructive of property ? The Right Hon. Gentleman may depend upon it that to re place the present rate by one of a very light nature, would, in the first year of the experiment, pour into his exchequer a larger revenue than any he now draws under the existing duty, seeing that the pressure of this latter compels the utter sacrifice of 20,000 cwt. of the commo dity taxed in a single year. We adhere, however, to Mr. EWART'S as the better and wiser course, namely, the absolute repeal of all duty on this important article. It wa+vith reason that Mr. GIBSON complained, when offering himself to discuss the question as one of taxa tion simply, that the Government invariably argued it as a fiscal one. This is strictly true. You cannot get the members of a Government, whose first, and last, and universal principle of action is identified with their tena city of office, to take up these subject!, on large andcom prehensive views. The present Cum.:m.l.on of the EXCHE QUER is a person who cannot imagine revenue realised through other channels, or otherwise directed, than accord ing to a scheme previouslysanctioned by the Cabinet. He is, withal, deeply imbued with the common-place love of revenue for its own sake, irrespective of all considera tions attaching to the sources or the mode of its collec tion. He is the sort of Minister who, if Parliament had determined to purchase the Holy Land with a view to some great religious purpose, would mar the solemnity of the transaction by ostentatiously parading the five per cent. discount he would have taken care to realise on the transaction from the SULTAUN, and the Pacha of STRIA. This item of 347,000/. is in his " Ways and Means," no doubt, for next year ; and a deputation of the Nine Muses, with the ghost of ADAM Sate H at their head, would vainly essay all the powers of elo quence and persuasion, harmony and political economy, on the intractable Member for Cambridge University, to withdraw this glittering item from his next financial statement. Sir R. PEEL, we perceive, put a question to Mr. EWART which we are impelled to repeat. "How could Mr. EWART expect that her MAJESTY'S Govern ment could possibly accede to his proposition ?" How, indeed 1 He had already had experience of the strength and constancy of their prejudices ; their inflexibility—in error. For the rest Sir ROBERT'S speech was the most dull and prosing imaginable. For the " one hundred and fiftieth night this season" (as the play bills have it), he went through the tedious story of what he calls his surplus of 3,000,0004 (as usual, sinking all allusion to the Property-tax, which produces it), and schooled Mr. EWART on the standing subjects of "lateness of the session," "derangement of the revenue,' , and " inconsistency." As to the first, what choice had the Ministers left Mr. EWART as to the timing of his motion ? Between their reckless sacrifices of the public time and business in the dogged defence of their petulant colleague, Lord STANLEY, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S abortive perseverance in attempting to force Bills through the House of Commons which had been previously repu diated by the voice and feeling of the whole nation, they had left no other open period for the raising of this question. Mr. EWART considered the wants of a vast section of the people quite as important to be looked to as the Ministerialconvenience ; and so the matter was brought under the notice of the House. Then as to the "de rangement of the revenue," the Premier appears perfectly oblivious of the many and grave objections that have been taken to his appropriation of the surplus ever since the introduction of his last Budget. It is no just ground of complaint, therefore, against Mr. EwART, who stre nuously objected to that scheme; that his proposition of last night, if affirmed and carried out into execution, would derange its details. Of course it would. But, had they not been open to the objection of not including the repeal or modification he calls for of the duty on but ter, &c., he would nut have proposed now to derange them. The last charge of inconsistency, strange to say, does come with a good grace from Sir R. PEEL. This paradox is readily explained. He might charge any lion. Member with inconsistency who is himself so devoted a slave to consistency, that having for years past enor mously taxed the " bread" of the people, he stoutly per. sists in taxing their butter also. We have published a letter from several owners of Spanish bonds, which we are unwilling should pass too readily out of observation, simply on the ground of its alluding to that which is matter of notorious and inces sant complaint. Our correspondents are desirous that the iatervention of the Legislature and the Government should be exercised to compel the payment of their coupons or dividends. It is unfortunately quite needless to enter into any recapitulation of the long series of dis graceful violations of the public faith of Spain, and com promises of the personal honour, as well as moral character of the Ministers composing her Governments, which have followed in quick succession upon the ad vances of British capital made within the last twenty years, with a view to the maintenance of her public establishments, and upon her own incessantly -asserted pretext of upholding her national credit. In modern kistory it would be difficult to find a parallel to the generous enthusiasm, the undoubting confidence with which the monied community of Great Britain came forward to assist Spain in the regeneration of her po litical institutions. They did so mainly on the imagined guarantee they should realise in the grateful fidelity to their engagements of a people for whom and with whom our ewn soldiers and sailors had so often fought and bled, in contending against the common enemy of the liberties of Europe. On her part, Spain was not back ward in binding herself by the most solemn obligations, and under public acts and conventions of the most stringent character, to the faithful discharge of the pecuniary liabilities she had thus contracted by reason of the confidence reposed in her by the monied interest, as it is called, of that nation which had been her faithful ally and her victorious champion. It seems as if FERDINAND VII. on his deathbed had bequeathed to ;he nation, together with a disputed succession to his hrone and a civil war, the infamous legacy of his own utter faithlessness, his self-convicted and shameless falsehood, his reckless ingratitude, and his open repudia tion of honesty and honour. A more profligate con spiracy to defraud and pillage foreign capitalists was never concocted than the whole scheme under which the various operations of the Spanish finance administration were conducted in the greater part of the period we have mentioned for raising money in London upon Spanish bonds and " securities," as they were called, surely in bitter mockery. Millions of English capital have thus been abstracted, never to be returned. Mer chants, bankers, brokers, traders, whose names stood high upon every exchange in Europe, prior to their con nexion with the Spanish funds, have been driven from station, influence, wealth, respectability, and over. whelmed in hopeless ruin by the wholesale bankruptcy of Spanish honour, wherever a contract was to be ful filled, or a promise to pay to be redeemed. What were the pleas which Spain recorded in the face of Europe in extenuation of this degeneracyof her faith— thisabandon ment of her integrity—this contempt for truth? These:— The derangement of her natural resources ; the poverty of her people ; the decay of the trade, the stagnation of her colonial commerce ; the political distractions by which she was consumed ; the destruction of all con fidence between the various classes of her people ; and the consequent unproductiveness of her revenue. But all these pleas have been falsified by the abundant supplies which her profligate Governments have succes sively obtained from taxation for all the multiplied pur poses of domestic intrigue—court factions—foreign agencies-- secret service—the corruptions, the venality, the vengeance of Camarillas—the personal luxury and the private and official establishments of the royal widow of " the worst of kings." Was an army to be ckbalicht d? A " Regent" to be supplanted by the same blow that was to upset a Constitution? Was a minion of royalty to befited—a populace to be intoxicated with brutalisic.g shows and pageants—a Minister 0r princii,les too iin practicable for the atmosphere of Madrid to be ousted? When and where, in the last thirty years, was. ttione wanting to the authorities of Spain for any such pur poses? No service was starved in Spain—exc.:la that of the public: no cause permitted t languish for want of money—except that of the country: no petitions to the throne to remain unredressed—but those of the The Phare des Pyrenees of the 20th has the following : 1 04 11% " We learn that the Bey of Tripoli has declared war against the Bey of Tunis. A letter from the latter place, dated the evening of the 9th inst., announces that the Bey had just received both the declaration of war and the news of hostilities having already corn.. menced on the frontiers of the two states."

SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—Mr. Bagshaw, anxious not to divide the Liberal interest, has announced his inten tion not to go the poll. The contest, therefore, will be between Colonel Thompson and Mr. Hudson.

LondonderryLo nd o n d e ry r and .t.,._ SURREY' HORTICULTURAL AND FLORAL SOCIETY. —The third show of carn a ti ons and piccotees of this Society took Loncto,. place yesterday afternoon, at the Swan Inn, Stockwell, and was characterised by the profusion of blooms vieing with each other in delicacy of tint and every attribute of a perfect flower. The judges killen appointed were Messrs. John Holland, J. T. Neville, and John Lynn and Ely Hughes, who, on account of the number and beauty of the speci. Lynn and Dereliam l% mens, found no small difficulty in deciding upon the particular Manchester and Leeds... 76 merits of each. However, after several hours' consideration, they Do. Quarters 2 at length came to a conclusion, when, on examination, it appeared Manchester and 13irmin. 40 that the following gentlemen were the successful candidates:—W. Do. New 11.- - Trahar, Esq.; Mr. Bushell, Mr. Keynes, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Sandi. T" - land, Mr. Henbury, Mr. Enableton, and Mr. Ottey. Besides the flowers above-mentioned, there were many other fine specimens; also a number of vegetables of a very superior quality, grown by Mr. Randall, of Loughborough Grounds, Brixton, with the patent manure of Charles Bird, Boast, and Co., which has lately, in many instances, proved highly efficacious. There were also several cucumbers of prodigious size, grown by Mr. Warden, the pro prietor of the Swan Inn, the excellent flavour of which was well ' tested at the dinner table, after the flower show was concluded. PRoPOSED NEW RAILWAY TO AI A IDSTON E.—A numerous meeting of the principal inhabitants of Maidstone was held on Saturday last, to considPr the best means of obtaining a di. rect railway communication between London and thecoast, through Maidstone. It appeared from a communication made to the meet ing that the Croydon Company, having their hands full with the projects for which they have succeeded this session in obtaining Bills, were no longer disposed to entertain their Ashford, Maidstone, and Tunbridge project. It is, therefore, proposed that an ii,cl; pu_ dent company should be formed, for the purpose of going to Par liament next session for a Bill to construct a railway from the Croydon line at Sydenham. through the centre of the county, dirt ct to Maidstone, and thence to Ashford, there to 3 ,, iti the Sooth- Eastern line to the coast.

Since Monday, the receipts of English Wheat for our market have been very limited, viz., 2,450 quarters, prin- cipally from Lincolnshire and Essex. The stands, to-day, being poorly filled with samples, and the weather by no means favourable to the growing crops, the demand for Wheat of home produce was active, at an improvement on Monday's quotations of from Is. to 2s. per quarter, and at which nearly the whole of the parcels found buyers. The show of free Foreign Wheat was small, while the inquiry was brisk, at ls. to 2s. per quarter more money. In parcels under lock more business was doing, at that amount of improvement. For Barley we had a slow inquiry, yet prices --especially those of grinding qualities —were well supported. The late arrivals of Malt were taken at full prices. The Oat trade was dull, yet the currencies were not lower. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear. Wheat. 2,450 qrs. English ...... Irish ........ ARRIVALS. Barley. 70 grs. Foreign ...... Oats.

Our market being rather scantily supplied with Beasts, the demand for that description of stock was somewhat active at, in some instances, an advance of 2d per 81bs, at which a good clearance was effected. We had on sale 200 Beasts from Scotland, and 140 Oxen and Cows from Rotterdam and Hamburgh. The numbers of Sheep were good, yet the sale for them was rather brisk, at fully Monday's quotations. In Lambs—the supply of which was moderate—a good business was doing at late rates. The Veal trade was steady, and prices were well supported. Pigs moved off slowly at our quotations. Mitch Cows were held at from 161 to 191 5s each, including their small Calf; Suckling Calves, 18s to 30s; and quarter old Store Pigs, 16s to 20s each.—Beasts, 614 , Cows, 137 ; Sheep and Lambs, 10,060 ; Calves, 429 ; Pigs, 329.

From nearly the whole of our hop districts, the accounts which have reached us this week are favourable as respects the progress of the bine ; hence very little inclination is now manifested to speculate. The trade, therefore, is inactive, and it is difficult to quote accurate prices. In the duty very little is doing, at 180,000/. PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to-day at the Council Chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present were the Lord President, Lord Brougham, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, and the Judge of the Admiralty Court. Their Lordships, after disposing ot the cases of" Casement v. Fulton," " Cowasjee v. Thompson," and the motion of " Sohst v. the Queen," proceeded to hear the further arguments in the part heard case of " Cockcraft v. Rawles," which came before their Lordships upon appeal from the Prerogative Court. The case occupied their Lordships the whole morning. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day, and toek cause petitions and unopposed lunatic petitions. In the matter of the suiters, on the application of Mr. STUART, the petition was ordered to stand over till Monday, for the con venience of Mr. Romilly. His LORDSHIP, in the course of the'morning, stated his in tention to chspose of all the lunatic petitions and motions before the lung vacation, if counsel would attend. VICE -CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND heard unopposed cause petitions, short causes, and petitions. The Court will rise to-morrow, for the long vacation. The Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce did not sit in his Court at Lincoln's Inu, in consequence of having to sit at the Privy Council. In the Vice-Chancellor Wigram's Court, nothing particular occurred. Mr. Horseley, of Pie-bridge, gave similar evidence. 00 Mr. CALVERT (the case for the opposition being addressed the Committee on the part of the promoters of tr and pointed out the r esem bl ance between the proposed the Ambergate line.

BUSINESS OF THE COURT.—COMPLAINT OF JURYMEN.— This morning, on the jury assembling, they were informed that the cases had been withdrawn. As this was the second day on which this occurred, the jury complained of the incon venience they experienced in being brought from their busi ness unnecessarily. The Usher said that it was quite unavoid able, as he was himself in attendance, and every preparation was made for hearing the cases, when notice was given. The jury consulted, and suggested that they should come to an agreement between themselves, so that twelve should attend alternately, and thus avoid part of the inconvenience. The Usher said there was no doubt if they made that arrangement, that it would be satisfactory. It was then agreed to submit the propoastion to the rest of the jury. 1 hese disappointments arise generally from the effect of the law of debtor and creditor. The latter, in the first instance, commences the action in the hope of intimidating the debtor, who, however, if he is dis honest, gets rid of his goods, and urges the plaintiff on to trial, when at the last stage the unlucky creditor, finding his case hopeless, and that he cannot even get the body of his debtor, is glad to abandon the proceedings rather than pay the Court fees, although he has to pay the costs of the defendant up to that time. In other cases, where the record is not form a ll y withdrawn, th e p l a i n tiff d oes not t hi n k it des irab le to appea r , and the d e f en d an t, f or t h e reason a b ove stated, thinks it quite unnecessary, as he cannot be touched in goods or person. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Mr. Nugent, of the Box.office of ber Majesty's Theatre, has just published a little bijou of a volume which may be very aptly denominated A Guide to the Opera, although Mr. Nugent modestly entitles it "A List of Subscribers to her Majesty's Theatre." It contains a complete list of the members of corps operatique and of the orchestra, and also a list of the subscribers, showing the boxes they occupy, and as there is a plan of the interior of the theatre, pointing out the number and the position of each box, given at the commencement of the guide, a stranger, with this little volume in his possession, will, in all probability, on his first visit, know more about the subscribers to the opera than the oldest habitue there who is net in possession of such a guide. YUCCA GLORIOSA.—A splendid specimen of this superb plant may be seen in full flower, at the Royal Surrey Zoolo. gical Gardens. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Thursday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, at the Red-house tavern, Battersea.fieldr, on the body of Edward Lockyer, aged forty-two, a shoemaker, who, with his wife was drowned by the upsetting of a sailing-boat off the Battersea timber.docks. The evidence given was very voluminous, but the facts are these :—A party, six in number, all working people, met together on Tuesday afternoon last, and agreed to take an excursion up the river in a sailing-boat belonging to a sawyer named Nott, one of the party. They proceeded safely as far as Druce's timber-dock, Battersea marsh, and were making for shore, when John Nott, junior, climbed up the mast and commenced singing. His father called out to him, telling him he had no business there, but he took no notice of what was said, and in about half a minute afterwards David Sanders also climbed up, when the boat careened and fell with her mast towards the Middlesex shore. The four persons in the body of the boat, including the wife of the de ceased, were immersed in the water. The woman clung to a man named Chatwin for some time, but he at last got' clear and swam to shore. Sanders and Nott, jun., who clung to the mast, were rescued by a boat, and Nott, sen., swam to shore, but the deceased and his wife sank and were drowned. The body of the deceased was recovered in about an hour afterwards, and taken to the Old. house-at-Home beer shop. It was :clearly proved that the young men who ascended the mast did so merely out of bravado, and not with the remotest intention of upsetting the boat, and the jury, satisfied that the occurrence was purely accidental, returned a ver. diet to that effect. It was stated in the inquest-room that the de. ceased, who lived at No. 6, Holland.street, Westminster, had left four children wholly unprovided for. FALL OF TWO HOUSES IN CLEMENT'S-LANE.—This morning, between twelve and one o'clock, the utmost alarm was excited in the neighbourhood of Clement's.lane, Clare.market, by the fall of two houses. These tenements have been for a consider able time condemned, and for the safety of foot passengers a strong bearding was put up in front of them. Adjoining these" con demned" buildings there still stand other buildings of considerable height, tenanted by several families, the party walls of which are ex ceedingly unsafe ; and it is extremely providential that no one was killed or suffocated, as not the slightest warning was given of the downfal of the premises. The houses, which it was stated were built' in the reign of Queen Anne, and were in a state of extreme dilapi dation, tell inwatds with a tremendous crash. Upon the occur rence taking place the police instantly called Mr. Cadogan, the surveyor of the parish, who, having inspected the ruins, remained for a considerable time, and at length left, declaring that no further danger of the falling of the contiguous premises need be appre hended, at two o'clock. The families were kindly taken In, in their night dresses, by Mr. Voller, of the White Hart, Clement's. lane, so that they might be saMly lodged for the remainder of the night. It is understood that the houses will be taken down with out delay. It has long been contemplated to make a new street through these premises, and it is to be regretted that they were not taken down before, having jeopardised the lives of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. On Wednesday a Court of-Directors was held at the East India House, when James William Colvile, Esq., w as appointed to the office of Advocate.( eneral at Fort William, in Bengal. EXCISE PROSECUTIONS.—In the Court of Excise yesterday, William Windsor, the proprietor of billiard. rooms in the Strand, was convicted, on four informations, of retailing wines and spirits, without a license, •n the 16th and 19th cf May last. Two etticers of Excise went to the billiard-rooms and saw spirits brought, for which the customers had paid money previously; but two witnesses watched outside, who stated that no spirits or wine had been taken in during the time the Excise officers were in the house. The proprietor was fined Jul. - on each information. Two billiard-room keepers in Picket-street, Strand, were also fined 201. each for similar practices, and on similar evidence. A FREAK OF FORTUNE.—James toward, a poor man, by trade a carpenter, residing in Somerstown, who has been for some time in great distress from want of employment, yesterday received the pleasing intelligence that lie bad become the possessor of a large fortune by the death of a brother in ItiJia, who had there ama-•ed tonsiderable we:nth. His wife was actually on the way to pledge an article for food, when the letter arrived, bearing the welcome news that he was the owner of 15,0004 The Committee were of opinion that the 17th clause Ettb clOt be omitted ; the makin g o f th e b ranches, which 1,1 could only be made with consen t o f the landowners, le°uld compulsory. t 0 q uote a After some further di scuss i on, the Committee role - to three o'clock. 0 11 GLASGOW, nAutir.liz.an, am) NO ° DIRECT RAILWAY. ~coCe r This Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock, ■••••• -- ., ne d % the chair, when the case on behalf of this line was res u ";;OF":" Mr. Rastrick, civil engineer, was examined as to the e— teneiyi peculiarities of the line, which he represented to , be /5. i d DO favourable, with the exception of a gradient of one JUA 05 cuttings and embankments were of moderate extent, an d easily executed at the estimates put i n. cc oitl Mr. P.
