The steam-ship Europa, Captain Lott, from New York, arrived at a quarter past two o'clock this after noon, after a fine run of 10 days 19 hours, bringing ad►ices to the 17th inst., 65,0001. in specie, and a large number of passengers. The steam-ship Hibernia arrived at Boston on the 12th inst., and the steam-ship America at Halifax on the 18th inst. The screw steam-ship Helena Sloman, sailed from New York for Harnburgh on the 12th, and on the 13th the screw-steamer City of Glzsgow, Captain Mathews, left for the Clyde. The iron steam-ship Viceroy, lost off Seal Island, had been abandoned. Several attempts had been made to rescue her, but unsuccessfully, and her hull had been advertised for sale. Our accounts by the Europa on this occasion extend nearly to the date of the steamer's departure from New York. No telegraph report having been received at Halifax, our last account reported briefly the fact of President Taylor's dettise. We now re ceive full details of the event, the funeral ceremony, and the subsequent proceeding of Congress. Tie funeral of the President took place on Saturday, July 13. The occasion was honoured with appropriate and impressive solemnities ; the military escort, com manded by the veteran General Scott, was composed of detachments of the United States troops, with a large number of volunteer militia companies from Baltimore and the district of Columbie. In the prin cipal cities of the Union the day was observed by suspension of business and suitable ceremonies. On the 12th inst. the remains of the President were deposited in state in the East room of the Whitehouse. On the 10th in the Senate a warm eulogium was delivered by Mr. Webster upon the character of the deceased magistrate. Oa the 16th Mr. Webster gave notice of a Bill to erect a monument to the President in Washington. Strong hopes were entertained that the compro mise slavery bill would meet with the assent of the Senate and the Lower Ilouse. It was anticipated that Congress would shortly adjourn on the question of the new Cabinet and the policy of the President. The changes consequent upon the accession of Mr. Fillmore to the Pre.,i':lency were exciting much at tention. No nominations of a decisive character have as yet been announced, but the following appoint ments are confidently anticipated : Mr. Webster, or Mr. Robert C. Winthrop, to he Secretary of State. Mr. James A. Pearce, of Mississippi, or Mr. T. Butler King, of Georgia, to be Secretary of the Navy. Mr. John J. Crittenden, or Mr. Arthur F. Hop kins, to be Attorney• General. Mr. Thomas T. M•Hennan, of Pennsylvania, or Mr. George Evans, of Maine, to be Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, or Mr. Magnum, of North Carolina, to be Secretary of War. Messrs. Ingersoll, Corwin, Baynard, and Governor Morehead, of Kentucky, and Governor Graham, of North Carolina, are also likely to have scats in the Cabinet. A destructive fire had broken out in Philadelphia on the 9th inst, by which, 370 houses were consumed and 1,000,000/. of property destroyed. 19 bodies had been discovered amongst the ruins, 3 persons died in the hospitals, 90 were wounded, and 15 were still rnisaing. Cholera was still very severe in the Western States, especially in Cincinnati and St. Louis, &c. In Mexico its ravages are reported to be immense. From Canada our accounts are unimportant. On the 12th inst. the Cabinet sustained a defeat on their motion to fix the Postmaster's salary at 3,200 dolls., for the vote being 28 to 28, a casting vote of the Speaker reduced the amount to 3,000 dolls. 8,000 dolls. had been voted in aid of the Exhibition of 1851. It is reported that the banks of the St. Lawrence, at the falls of Niagara, were in a very precarious state, and threatened to give way. From Vera Cruz, via New Orleans, we have ac counts to the Ist inst. announcing that the Mexican Congress had not been able to organize for want of a quorum. Some interest had been awakened relative to the approaching election of President. Amongst others Santa Anna, who is ineligible from non-resi dence, has been proposed. Hayti advices of the 28th ult. report the proba bility of the invasion of St. Domingo more doubtful. Soulouque professes to desire peace. Cuffee was scarce. Carthagena accounts of the 22d ult. enlarge upon the expulsion of the Jesuits from that quarter. Santa Anna, the Mexican revolutionary chief, still remains a resident, and had become a great money dealer. Accounts from Havannah of the 11th inst. report a few cases of thole: a. Severe rains had fallen. We append a mercantile report. Sugars are very ani mated, maintaining great firmness in prices, which we quote as follows :—Cucuruchos, 4/ to 51 reals ; low yellows, 5t to 5i ; good, 64 to 64 ; superior, 71; low white, 41 to 51 reals according to quality. Molasses were held at 2to 2} reali. There is not much doing, as vessels are scarce. The business in coffee is trifling. Freights are slack : the last transactions were at 2/. ls. for St. Petersburgh, and 2/. ss. for small Spanish vessels to llamburgh. We quote coasters 1 doll. per box, 5 cloth. per hogshead sugar ; 21 dolls, to 2idollr. for molasses. Exchange on London 10 to 101 to 12 per cent. premium. CO.UMERCIAL NEWS. The commercial acccunts received per the Europa re present business generally throughout the Union as being in a very quiet state. Money was abundant, and the exchanges were heavy; that on London was quoted at I tOi to 1103-. Cotton—The market was still active, prices advancing slightly. The crop accounts are of the same character as when last reported of. BreadstutEs—There is no change to report in the breadstes market. Prices are unaltered.

The Columbu., Captain Greene, haa just arrived from Pernarnimen, after a passage of 36 days. She left on the 21st ultimo. She reports having passed yesterday a fleet of ships inward bound. Sickness had almost disappeared previous to her departure. There is no political intelligence at hand. The following we select from the commercial advices IMPORTS. Butter—The stock of Irish is very much reduced, and retailing at 240 to 300 rs. per lb.; liclter qualities at 500 to 640 rs. p e r lb.

Coals are less abundant, and one or two moderate sized cargoes might obtain 10 dollars per ton. Flour—Stock, 9,000 barrels only, retailing slowly. Of gunpowder, lead, arms, and saltpetre, although prohibited, sates have been made in bond; gunpowder much reduced in quantity. EYPORTS.

Sir,—On Wednesday the 24th, the Sunday Trad ing Prevention Bill was read a second time, with a majority of 101 against 22. One reason for this approach to unanimity may be assumed to be, that the Bill is considered as being in reality much more of a permissive nature than a prohibitory. It goes to relieve the public on many points from the Anti- chrietian oppression meditated by designing or ig norant parties ; and as such, ought to he accepted and if practicable strengthened, by those who maintain the Christian liberty of the community. In this view, it is amusing to see the mal-reasonings thrown out by well-meaning objectors. " You permit one thing, and you do not permit another thing ; on what principle therefore can we accept the permission of the first ?" Is not this like saying, " You propose to take my cloak, but not my coat ; o❑ what prin ciple can I submit, to your leaving me my coat ?" The policy of a wise man in such circumstances would appear to be, to keep all he can, with leave to add to the quantity. As an instance of the use of sticking up to a point in Parliament, and not yielding to the cry of, " 0, this is theology," it is interesting to see what a with drawal there is of the claim to represent this and kin dred questions, as resting upon theological axioms. The truth being that the theological evidence has been proved to be against them. It would be as difficult now to find a knot in the House of Commons who would support Sabbatarian observances on a religious ground, when it is plain that the law-givers of Chris tianity have forbidden them, as to find a party to support the right of the claimants of St. Peter's chair to depose kings, on the ground that it was so written in the Scriptures. On Thursday the Small Tenements Rating Bill was passed, after much opposition of the kind majori ties call " factious." On Friday the, dullness of the House was relieved by the appearance of the Member for London at the table, demanding to take the oaths and his seat. On the first oath being proffered to him, he asked to be allowed to take it on the Old Testament. On which the Baronet the Member for the University of Ox ford rose, and in terms which irresistibly suggested the idea of a Mufti protesting against the admission of a Christian to political rights in a Mohammedan country, objected on the ground of the absence of precedent for the entrance of " Jews and other un believers" into Parliament ; which he subsequently embodied in a motion. Upon this the Member for London withdrew, and it was moved by the Attorney.. General as an amendment, that he should be heard by himself or his counsel at the bar of the House. In opposition to the ground taken by the Member for Oxford " gown," a remarkable fact was stated by the Member for Youghal, which was not received with all the atten tion it deserved, and may be matter of amus inc, inquiry and examination to the curious. The Member for Youghal stated that in the reign of Henry 111. a Parliamentum Judaicuin was assembled, for the purpose or with the result of giving a subsidy of 20,0001. to the Sovereign, and with a special di rection that the members should be sworn super librunz suunz, on "their own book," to wit the Old Tes tament. It may not turn out that the precedent holds water on every point ; but it is a strong antidote to the prejudice. of the Member for the "gown" and• his followers, that nobody ever heard of such a thing as a Jew Member of Parliament. It was subsequently proposed by the Member for Oxford " town,' that in consequence of the Member for London having declared he did not ask to be heard at the bar, the amendment of the Attorney- General should be withdrawn, and the question raised whether the Member for London should or should not be permitted to proceed to take the oaths in the manner he required; with theadded understanding that no opposition should then be made on his part to the debate being adjourned. This being acceded to, debate arose on the time to which adjournment should be made. And on the question being put that the House adjourn till Monday at twelve, with an amendment for proceeding on the same day (Friday), the first was carried by 191 to 62. The point to be next stood to, is that the oaths should be disposed of one after another as they arise. The lawyers on the other side irresistibly prove, that it would be better for their side that the oaths should be settled in a lump, which is equally strong proof to men of common knowledge, that it is for the interest of the liberal side that they should be settled sepa rately. And there has been a want of strategy or concert somewhere, that this ,has not been more di rectly moved upon. On the whole however, the battle is at present going on well, and whatever may be the quantum of immediate success, must tell effectively, on the final decision of the struggle. In the evening sitting, the attention of the House was attracted to the late extraordinary report from the Select Committee on Ceylon. The Committee deeply regret that measures were not taken to send a Commission of Inquiry to Ceylon. They also regret that they are not able to make a complete report ; and therefore they make none. And they are of opinion that the serious attention of the Government should be called to the evidence taken by themselves, which evidence they at the same time decline to give, and they repeat the recommendation that a Commis sion be sent to Ceylon. The meaning of all this would seem to be, that there are things in Ceylon most deserving of notoriety, but which the Committee do not think themselves the men to deal with. This unusual humility de serves the attention of the public mind. On the same evening the Attorney-General was hotly pressed to extract from him his reasons for de clining to give his signature to the proceedings for an injunction to restrain the intended Exhibition in Hyde Park. The Attorney-(es'eneral promptly answered, that it was because he thought it would be contrary to the duties of his office; and so the state of siege was dissolved. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 29, 1850. We have carerully abstained from the enunciation of any confident opinion upon the important questions at ssue between the Customs and the Dock Companies; and iwe have, on this very account, felt that it was inexpedient to en ter warmly upon a controversy either for or against either. At the same time, we could scarcely believe that the Cus toms authorities, with their ample experience, and great facilities for obtaining information, would commit the grievous error of preferring false or trivial charges, and were inclined patiently to await the evidence that may be forth coming at the trials in November next. The solicitor to the London Doc is has enumerated the nature of the information laid • and certainly, if hi s enumerat i ons w ere correct, they would be "trumpery," compared with the magnitude of the total business transacted. Sweepings, or a single bag of coffee, would be no warranty for grave charges of fraud. But the statements made to us of about 10,0001. worth of property being now under seizure, go far to prove that it is highly expedient to suspend our judgment, and not cast unlimited censure on the C us t oms .

The grand point to be de cided is whether the dock companies have been wronged by their own servants, for if so the merchant is quite as much interested in the vigilance cf the Cus toms as is her Majesty's revenue. The Customs officials affirm that they have full and sufficient cause for their strin gent proceedings, and deny the imputation of bribing the dock servants, &c., though it is true that information has been obtained through several of the latter, and that one p;r i t l y u n ni p t a y rt i i s c d u e la e r pl p y ointed out fifteen years ago to her Ma j.% e v secit inquiry, believe,' r s y Treasury idivtehroet w i tgh h he a nt it he would conceived sosueldd on 0 et r to .sit r Thebrei s e abuses,wuh whole mercantilefiu t which, d hope e t o lzs t ry : . are wholly ignorant of in e w t e ith on all s o i n d etsh, n t i e i r s. e c s o t n e od d usec i e n t the result of the pending that on p th t h e e higher ono s o hand, n o r pecu lation faults authorities mate of the sum required tobe O v ß o ß t ß-r voted fo P r E t E h L e .

Rear business this day, the general rate was 27k. I Admiral Bligh being soon, however, succeeded by Sir Hyde Parker, Mr. Schaw was by the latter, ia De— cember, 1796, superseded and ordered to do duty as mate of the signals on board his flag-ship the Queen, 98 . In the spring of 1797, a coup de soieil, occasioned by con stant observations made through a telescope at the mast. head under a broiling sun, having rendered imperative a change of climate, he returned home on boatel the Ca nada, 74. Previously to this he bad been nominated by Sir Hyde Parker acting lieutenant of the Hermione, 32, Captain Hugh Pigot, at the time on a cruise; but the appointment being cancelled before her return in conse quence of the advent from England of an officer, Mr. Douglas, on the Admiralty. list for promotion, he never joined, and. he was thus preserved from sharing in the untimely end which the officers experienced at the hands of their mutinous crew. Continuing in the Canada tin,. der the command of Sir John Berlese Warren, Mr. Schaw saw much boat and other service on the coast of France. After assisting in the boats at the subsequent capture off the Gironde, of a convoy, protected by a gun brig, which was driven on shore, he was sent home in charge of one of the prizes. With much difficulty, ow ing to the badness of the weather, the inefficiency of the crew, and the rottenness of the sails and gear, he succeeded in reaching Plymouth, but in such, a state that the vessel was run on tho mud to prevent her sinking in deep water. On his passage to rejoin the Canada, Mr. Schaw contributed to the re capture of an English brig, in command whereof he returned a second time to port. On Oct. 12, 1798, being again on board the Canada, he aided at the defeat of the French squadron, under Commodore Bompart, intended for the invasion of Ireland. Owing to a recommenda tion from Sir John Warren, Air. Schaw, a few weeks after he hat passed his examination was made lieutenant Feb. 8, 1800, into the Pomona, hired armed brig, Capt. Thomas Innes, employed in convoying the trade to the Baltic. Wken watering, about January, 1802, at Tetuan, preparatory to proceeding up the Mediterranean, an at tack of typhus fever obliged him unfo:tunately to invalid home on board the Ajax, 74, Captain Hon. Alexander Cochrane. Until placed at this time on half-pay he had not been ten days absent on leave since he had entered the service, At the commencement of the late war be volunteered to serve on half-pay in any of the ships more immediately opposed to the force destined by the enemy for the invasion of England. His exertions on different occasions, particularly in saving IFe and pro. perty from wrecks, broeght on at last an attack of spas. medic asthma, and in October, 1804, he was compelled to seek half-say. He became a retired commander on the junior list Nov. 26, 1830, and on the senior July 26, 1844. In 1803 Commander Schaw proposed to the Admiralty a plan for annoying the fleet in Brest Harbour by means of a fire-ship—but the execution was considered fraught with too much hazard. He also suggested the possi bility of seizing a large quantity of timber collected periodically in different ports of Norway; whither their Lordship, adopting his views, dispatched a small squad ron under ;he late Sir Robert Stopford.. On the arrival of the latter, however, it was found that the timber had been removed from within his reach. At the commence ment of the general peace Commodore Schaw made two propositiois to the Government—one to the effect that a certain amount of compensation money should be given towards the reduction of the half-pay list to such as chose to accept; and the other that the rank of retired commander should be conferred on those lieutenants who, unfit for service, were willing to assume it without in crease of ,pay or expectation of future promotion. On the accession of William IV. to the throne the latter measure was introduced. HARROW SCHOOL, JULY 27.—This day the Harrow Scholarships were adjudged to J. H. D'Arcy and H. G, Monro. Examiners, the Rev. P. Freeman and Mr. G. Butler. A Court of Conservancy of the river-Titarnea was held on Saturday, at which the jury stated that they con sidered Battersea and Putney bridges to be obstructions to the navigation of the river. The Lord Mayor said he would hand their presentment to the City law officers, who would advise them what to do in the matter. COCKERMOU'7II AND WORKINGTON RAILWAY.— The directors of this railway have issued their statement of accounts for the half-year e n di ng J une 30, showing an avail able balance on ievenue account of 689/. 9s. 101, which will admit of a dividend of 3s. Ed. per share. The dividend for the same period in 1849 was 2s. 6d. per share. —Carlisle Patriot. A few days Ego some strawberries were gathered from the garden of Mr. Henry Burns, at the west end of Cockermouth, sim of which weighed six ounces, and one of them an ounce and a half, and measured seven inches round. They were as ddicious iu flavour as remarkable fig size. Mr. Burns has been long known fur his successful cultivation of strawberries.— Cumberland Pacquet. We understand that the interesting experiment of conveying messages by a submarine telegraph from Dover to Calais will take ?lace in the course of ten days or a fort night. A compaoy, consisting chiefly of English share holders, has been Constituted in Paris, where all the shares have been taken up, and the entire length of wire is com pleted, and in a condition to be laid down. House's tele graph, which has been in long successful operation between New York and Philadelphia, is the one that is to be used, and should the experiment succeed, the public may shortly be gratified by the sight of printed communications trans mitted from shore to shore at the rate of more than 100 let ters per minute. ISLE OF MAN. --O n T ues d ay last Thomas Corlett, who murdered th e b oy S tephen, at Baliaugh, i n M ay l ast, was tried at the cour t , C astletuwn. The circumstances of the murder, which was one of a most horrifying character, were given in our paper at the time of the occurrence. The prisoner was known in the village of Ballaugh by the name of Tom Dick, and his victim was the son of Mr. J. Stephen, of Glaik House. The boy was sent to the priaoner's house to borrow a gorse back, when Corlett, without the least provocation, seized the weapon and thrust it through his eyes. He then drew out the weapon, and re peated the blow, fracturing the boy's skull, and killing him upon the sp:.t. The prisonersurrendered himself immediately utter the commission of the crime, and showed no signs of alarm. When in prison he exhibited symptoms of mono mania , saying he had no enmity against the boy, but lie longed to be hung, and appeared pleased at the fate which awaited him. He intimated that he would make an ascent from the scaffold to heaven, where he Nvduld share amongst the glorified the rewards of the righteous. The trial lasted the whole of the day, and the court was much crowded. The jury acquitted the prisoner en the ground of insanity, and he will con sequently be imprisoned during the remaining period of his life.— Lireipool Mercury. VISIT OF PARISIANS TO THE METROPOLIS.—Last evening a large number of holiday Parisians arrived by spe. cial train at the London-bridge terminus of the South- Eastern Railway, where they were met by a considerable number of their relatives and friends, resident in this country. These visitors left Paris by a special excursion train for Calais, where on Saturday evening they passed the night, and 740 of them embarked for Dover a little before noon yesterday (Sunday). The excursionists are to return on Tuesday evening. We understand that this is the first of a series of excursions to be continued during the ensuing month; and return visits are in course of arrangement, at extraordinarily low fares, via Folkstone and Boulogne, as well as Dover and Calais. SUlClDE.—Saturday an irquest was taken bsfore Mr. Langharn, at the Prince Albert Tavern, Upper St. Mar tin's-lane, as to the deatli . of Mrs. Emma P e as e , age d 31. The deceased was the wife of a dyer, living at 20, Lichfield street, Soho, and for the last ten . months has . sutrered in tensely from some i n t e rnal complaint. It was arranged that she should go on Wednesday morning wi.h her father to his residence at Oxford, to tee if a change of air would be of any service to her. On that morning she asked him to get ready, but not to leave the room, or she should throw herself out of the window. A few minutes afterwards she requested them to go out of the room for a moment, which they did, and she instantly rushed to the door and locked it. The fattier was much alarmed, and begged of her to open the door, when she said he should come in directly; a fall was then heard, and the door being kicked iu she was found lying on the floor weltering in her blood, with a raz or i n h er right hand, with which sh e had inflicted a terrific wound on the left side of her neck. She never spoke, and died almost instantly. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary In sanity."

Mr. Samuel Fry, of the firm of Messrs. Fry and Holt, of Pialbrock-house, solicitors, appeared before Mr, Alderman o f the for the pm-- , ahJiying toe. a .larrions against i. , argus O'Connor, M.P., to recover the sum of 50./., bein,T the amount stated to have been received by him for the sale of property bequeathed to a Mrs. Watson, en whose behalf he applied. He stated that the lady for whom tha application was made was in her ninetieth year, and that her brother, in 1313, happened to be one cif the fortunate allottees in the Niltional Land Scheme, of which Mr. O'Connor was the sole direc tor. The brother died, bequeathing the property to his sister, w h o a t that time residd in Scotland. Mr. Fry then read the following letter, 7lddr.essed from the corresponding secretary of the .Nati nnal Land Com pany to Mr. Watson (the husband of the lady above mentioned) on making application for his allotment a short time previous to his death : " National Land Company's-oflice, 144, High Holborn, London, March 15, 1549. " Sir,—lc has not been in my power to return you any positive answer respecting your farm until this day. The farm at Suig's End, to which you are entitled, is, as you are aware, ono of those inferior ones upon which wood formerly stood, and for which, in consequence of its in feriority, an allowance of two years' rent was to have been made to you. I find, however, that Mr. O'Connor has sold that farm to some other party, and therefore the directors have decided that you shall have instead a three acre farm at Lowbande, one immensely superior iu qua lity to the one at Snig's End. I am, however, instructed to say that it will not be in the power of the directors to give you any aid money. There is one due to the ex pense fund, the usual expenses up to the close of the year, and if you hold any shares upon which the full amount has .not been paid, you will Owe twopence per week per share since the 18th of November, 1848.—Re spectfully yours, - - " Tawas CLARK, Cor. Sec. " Mr. D. Watson." In October following Mr. Watson wrote again to the proprietors of the Land Company, complaining that the original allotment to him should have been trans ferred to another party without obtaining first his consent to such a proceeding; and the following was the reply he received from the corresponding se cretary 144, High Holborn, London, Oct. 26. " Sir,—lt is true that a party has taken possession of your three-acre farm, but he did so without the know ledge and against the express commands of the direc tors. He was to have taken one of the unoccupied four acre farms, but not having capital sufficient for the cul tivation of four acres, he took possession of the three 'acre farm; and had the place ever been formally given into your possession, you might have prosecuted him for his conduct. But the fact is that the farm has never been duly and property given up, even to you,and, therefore, you have no legal claim upon the place, and could not prosecute him. Ido not say this for the pur pose of setting aside your undoubted moral right, but simply to show you that, as the property has never been delivered into your possession, either by the landlord (Mr. O'Connor) or any a g e nt f his, that you could not prove possession at all. I am, however, of opinion that you had better take no notice of the transaction, but ac cept of the four-acre farm, which ought to have been oc cupied by the present tenant of the three-acre farm, especially as your object is to sell; for the four-acre farm will realise a larger sum than the three-acre one. If you like, I will advertise the four-acre one for you. I do not dictate this course to you, but simply suggest it, as one which is certain to procure, a larger sum of money. In fact, lam fully persuaded that you will be a gainer by losing the three-acre farm. You will, hog• ever, pursue whatever course you may think right, but I reiterate the opinion that four acres will be better for your purposes than three acres can be.—l am, sir, yours obediently, " Mr. D. Watson." " THos. CLARK, Cor. Sec. Mr. Watson, on receiving this answer, wrote to the effect that he might receive the value of his allotment in cash, when he received the following answer from the same gentleman : " Land Company's-office, 144, High Holborn, London, Nov. 16, 1849. " Sir,—l was at Low-bands on Monday last, and re turned home yesterday. I saw Mr. Burrell, and received from him 301. towards the sum of 50/. He will send the residue when he gets cash for a bank order which he holds, payable, I think, on a bank at Sunderland. We had possession of the house, but by whom it was given I cannot say, as it was never given by the directors to you or him. Mr. Burrell will send tho rest of the cash here, and when he does so I will send it to you minus the items of transfer, rent for half a year, taxes for that period, and the repair of a window in which some pines of glass are broken.—Yours, Mr. D. Watson." " THOS. CLARK, Cor. Sec. Shortly after the receipt of this letter Mr. Watson died, leaving his claim upon the land company still unsatisfied, and bequeathing it to his sister. After repeated applications for the amount of money for which the farm had been sold, she (Mrs. Watson) complained to the delegates in Scotland of the con duct of the company towards her, and they imme diately, thinking that she had been very badly used, communicated with the director or manager in London, when the following letter was forwarded to one of the delegates in reply:— "National Land-office, 144, High Holborn, London, July 3, 1850. " Sir—l am instructed by the directors of the National Land Company to inform you that there is a three-acre allotment in possession of the said company situate:] at Lowbands, in Worcestershire, which is at the disposal of Mrs. Watson, if that lady thinks fit to avail herself of it. "Faithfully yours, &3., " SAMUEL BONHAM. " N.B. Have the kindness to inform me by return of post should this offer prove satisfactory.—S. B." After waiting some considerable time for the money, she at length wrote to Mr. O'Connor, at 24, Not ting-hill-terrace, Bayswater, who at once forwarded her the following worthless document, as it is writ ten upon;fan unstamped piece of paper : " I shall pay Mrs. Watson the sum of fifty pounds in six months from this date, being the amount of a trans fer at Lowbands, in the Land Company.—Dated this 19th of July, 1850. " FEARGUS O'CONNOR. " 34, Notting•hill-terrace, London." Immediately on receiving this document Mrs. 'Watson scraped together a little money and came to London, where she was robbed while passing up Fleet-street of every shilling she had in the world, and also a return ticket she had obtained to go back to Scotland with. She gave information at the police station of that district, and through the kindness of Inspector Scott, she obtained a fresh ticket. But, before returning, she determined to see Mr. O'Connor personally, and she accordingly called at his residence, when she was informed that he was from home. She called the following morning early, and on sending in her name she was in formed that Mr. O'Connor was at home, but not up, and requested to call again in an hour ; but be lieving this was only a ruse to get rid of her, she said she would wait an hour in the hall, upo❑ hearing which Mr. O'Connor dressed himself and came down. The result of the interview was, that Mrs. Watson was left to get what she could, and how she could, and she was advised to apply to a solicitor, and to place the matter in his hands. Accordingly, Mr. Fry was requested to attend to the case, and after writing several times to Mr. O'Connor without being able to elicit any kind of an answer, he determined to apply to this court for a summons against Mr. O'Connor, to show cause why he detained the amount claimed by Mrs. Watson. Aldernian CHALLIS said he could not grant a sum mons, as the case was not one that could come under his jurisdiction. The amount was for 501., and that was beyond the sum allowed to be received by a sum mons in a court of summary jurisdiction. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond and the Ladies Lennox left Portland-place, on Friday, for Goodwood Park, Sussex, preparatory to entertaining a succession of distinguished visitors during the races, this week, on the ducal domain.

SAN FaANcrsc o.—We have great pleasure in stetting that the attention of the committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's has been called to the essential service rendered on several occasions by Captain Shepherd, of her Majesty's ship Inconstant, and Commander Johnson, of her Majesty's steam- sloop Driver, to British vessels lying at San Francisco, and that the committee have addressed to those officers let te7s expressive of their best thanks for their prompt exer tions, and the zeal manifested by them in protecting the inte rests of the mercantile navy, which letters have been for warded to those officers through the Lords of the Admiralty, who have expressed to them their satisfaction at such con duct. The potato blight, we regret to state, has mane its appearance, and is fast increasing in .the island A cold rainy fog enveloped us on the evening of Sunday last, and on Slonday (the very day which is noted in the " Financial Almanack" as the time when this destructive disease spread over England in the year 1848) the crops bore unequivocal appearances of having been attacked; luckily most of the early sorts are fit for the market, and we trust, therefore, that the damage will not be entirely irremediable. Some of our gardeners have resorted to the plan of cutting away the haulm close to the ground, an experiment which is said to have succeeded in former years, when the blight was seen on its first appearance upon the green stalk.—Hampshire In dependent. STRONG ATTACIIMBNT TO lIoM7.—A gentleman from the neighbourhood of Bath purchased and brought home a large flock of sheep from one of the counties of South Wales. The morning after he had placed them in his field he found the entire flock gone. Search was made for days without the slightest trace. At last an old shepherd sti gested that they might be found in their own fiehls in Carmartheushire, and there, sure enough, they were. They must have travelled an immense way to have crossed the Severn. There is no foundation whatever for the statement in two of the London morning papers of yesterday , that Mr. Fitzstephen French, M.P., will be presented by the Govern ment with the appointment of Inspector of Prisons in Ire land, vacant by the death of Mr. Long. We believe we may, however, announce that Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P. for Tralee, has solicited the " valuable" office from Lord Claren don. Weekly Chronicle. MONDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1850.

ELECTION SATURDAY AT ETON, The very unfavourable state of the weather on Satur day last operated as a sad check to the usual infiux:of com pany which, on this occasion, is drawn together on the Brocas. There was a good muster of old Etonians and friends of the present " Eon men," but the general company was much less numaron.i than is customary. About an hour beforo starting the weather cleared up, and the crews, in high spirits, prepared for the en counter. At seven o'clock the boats were manned, each crew brew being distinguishel by its peculiar costume; and after pulling to the nobler and back, they started for Surley Hall in the following order, preceded by the fine band of the Royal Horse Guards:— The Victory—CoMpood of the eight selected to give the customary challenge to the Westminster boys, which challenge, however, has not been accepted the last two ears.

Arbuth not, steerer. Oa arriving at " Old Surley," the gentlemen partook of an elegant repast, which was prepared for them in a meadow on the opposite shore, each crew having a separate table, with its captain in the chair, and his banner suspended over it. After drinking the custom ary loyal toasts and other toasts connected with the college, they embarked for Windsor, where they ar rived at nine o'clock. A grand display of fireworks then took place, whilst the crews rowed several times round' the eyott, in admirable style ; th e b r id ge , w h ar f, barges, and buildings commanding a view being crowded with spectators. The half-yearly examinations have taken place during tho week, and the mathematical prize founded a f.iw years since by Mr. George Tomline, an old Etonian, has for this year been adjudged to Cotton, ono of the pupils of the Rev. E. Balston, son of Mr. William Cotton, of the Bank of England, and bro ther to the Rev. W. C. Cotton, who accompanied Bishop Selwyn to New Zealand. Next in order of merit were Martin, Pullen, major, Wollaston, K.S., Marindin, Good all, K.S., and Pullen, minor. The examination was con• ducted by the Rev. H.

CORK, JULY 26.—The trade, which as regards wheat, in the early part of the week showed some degree of animation, has again become quiet, and we have but little business passing. We have had some arrivals of foreign grain, amongst others a cargo of wheat from La Plata, South America. the first, we Lelieve, to this port direct from that country. The supply of home grain is very trifling. In the early part of the week wheat met a speculative inquiry, and several parcels changed hands at rather improved prices. The demand, however, has subsided, and we have again a more quiet feeling in the trade. In barley and oats we have no transactions to record. Flour was in better request, and we had a more free sale for the article in the commencement of the week, but purchasers seem disposed now to buy with more caution. The trade in Indian corn continues dull, and the business passing is limited to the supply of the more immeeiate wants of the dealers, while prices still manifest a downward ten dency. The inquiry for Indian meal is very limited. Flour—First 12s 6d to 13s Od ; extra 14s Od ; seconds, 12s Od to 12s 6d ; households Os tolls; thirds, 6s to 8t per cwt.

On Thursday and yesterday, however, there was a considerable fall of rain, which had the effect of bringing forward many buyers of flour who had pre viously held aloof, and on the whole the sales effected were to a:fair extent at full and improving rates. From abroad the im ports into Liverpool comprise extensive supplies of wheat and flour, with fair quantities of Indian corn and beans, but only moderate of other articles, whilst of English or Irish produce, with the exception of 3,694 quarters of malt coastwise, the ar rivals are scanty. This morning the weather, though threat ening at times, proved fine during market hours, and conse quently very little business transpired. Wheat was held for an advance of fully 21 p r 701 b, and flour Is per sack, which checked sales. In oats or oatmeal no material change was obs ervable. WORCESTER, JULY 27.—The weather having been exceed ngly stormy during the last week, and beaten the corn down, in the hill s and valleys, farmers to-day asked higher prices and millers and dealers effected sales at an advance of Is to 2s per quarter. Enalish white wheat fetehed 16s 6d to 18s 6d per bag, and red 15s to Itis 6d. Barley in better request ; distilling qualities were worth from 3a to 3s 61 per bushel. English oa's must be quoted firm at Sc 3d to 3s Gd per bushel. Fresh sanaples, 2s 6d to 2s 9d. English beaus 4s to 4s 6d per bushel; foreign, 3s 6d to 4s, with a fair business doing. Good white peas 4s 6d to ss, gray 45 per bnshel. Spring vetches 5s per bushel: Stourbridge corn-ma r k et on Friday was but scantly supplied with grain, which realised better prices than at last market day. Good English wheats sold freely at an advance of is per quarter, and other grain pretty well supported. Barley not much inquired for at stationary prices. Beans and peas a few sales at fully last week's rates. Oats were fiat, and sold at rather less money than this day se'nnight. Oats sold at 233 to 25s for white, and black 193 to 20s per quarter. Beans from 16s to 183. Flour from 2Ss to 30s per sack. There was a short supply of wheat at Devizes market on Thursday, and a good clearance was effected at an advance of Is per sack. Wheat, in some instances, realized more than Is per sack advance on last week, the current prices being, best white 21s to 245, best old red 19s to 223. and second qualities 16s to 18s. Barley must be quoted at 22s to 24s per sack. In oats a dull sale at 16: to 183. Beans in fair request at 13s to 15s, and peas 12s to 14s per sack. Vetches 19s to 20s per sack. Flour sells at 27s to 30s per sack according to quality, and best bread lld per 81b. We have been visited by a great deal of stormy weather during the week, which has excited some ap prehensions as to the prospects of the growing crops of corn. The gr een crops are looking unusually strong and healthy. Po tatoes are said to show aynaptonts of disease in a few places, but generally they are abundant and of good quality. At Stratford•on- Avon market on Friday the trade was firm, alth oug h the farmers freely supported the market. Wheat must be qu o t e d 6d per ,bag dearer than on last market day. Average price 2/ 1 2s per quarter. A fair business done. In other grain transactions were limited at about the rates of this day se'nnight. Wolverh ampton market was well supplied with wheat and other grain, and farmers wanting money disposed of their sam ples without any advance. Farmers' wheat sold at 6s 6d to 7s per 721 b, and dealers' pareels 55 6d to 63 per 621 b. Grinding barley in fair demand at previous rates, viz , 21s to 22s per 3921 b. English beans were held for rather more money, the average Price being its 6d per 1931 b; Egyptian beans 10s 6d, and French lis 6d per 1961 b. Oats were steady in -rattle without much inquiry, except for fine qualities; English sold at 20s to 213, and Irish 18s to 19s per 3121 b. Kidderminster market was but thinly attended owing to the wet weather, which also had an influence upon prices. Eng lish wheat realised an advance of Is to Is 6d per quarter on last week's rates. Barley remained as last reported. English beans were inquired for, and held for an advance of is Gd to 2s per quarter. Oats as before. LIVERPOOL, JULY 27.

WOLASTON DIXIE, BART.—We have to record the demise of the above Baronet, who expired a few days back, at Bosworth-hall, his seat in Leicestershire. In default of male issue, the baronetcy devolves on his bro ther Beaumont. REPRESENTATION OF LAMBETH.--On Saturday a requisition. numerously signed, was presented to David Williams Wire, Esq., Under-Sheriff of the city of London, palling on that gentleman to allow himself to be put in no mination as a candidate for the borough of Lambeth, in the room of Charles Pearson, Esq., resigned. Benjamin Hawes, Esq., the Member for Kinsale, who so many years repre sented Lambeth in Parliament, will be put in nomination. John Hinds Palmer, Esq., and W. Williams, Esq., the late Member for Coventry, have declared themselves candidates. So likewise has Mr. Cooper, Q.C., and also Alderman S alomons. SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY.--The Act of Parliament for making this railway having received the Royal assent, the board of directors have just issued a report to the proprietors, in which they state that only about one-sixteenth of the required capital, or little more than 20,0001., remains to be raised, in order to enable them at Once to set about this important work. The directors had hoped that this portion of the required capital would be con tributed by the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company, but it is understood that circumstances prevent that com pany from making that contribution at the present time. The directors have confirmed the contract entered into with Mr. Brassev, who has undertaken to construct and deliver the whole line from Shrewsbury to Hereford for 345,8`22/., including the electric telegraph, which is, it is said, a less sum than the cost of any other railway in the kingdom similarly circumstanced. It is therefore contemplated that the work will be proceeded with without delay. Finn AT Tail WEST-END.—On Saturday afternoon a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Joseph Binder, a carpenter, builder, and house agent, No. 75, Park :And, Grosven. r-square. The flames commenced in the ware-room on the ground floor, but from what cause is un known. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock, the fire spread with surprising rap . dity, and very quickly the workshop on the firs - , floor, and a spacious store-room over, b.came enveloped in flames. From those points the confla gration extended to the timber-yard, and also to the back part of the private dwelling-house, and did considerable mage. Mr. Binder was insured. SANITARY ItEroßnm : " WITT WILL YE DIE !"-- How much longer shall we alto: - 15,000 persons to be an nually cut eff; unnaturally and prematurely, in this gay and wealthy metropolis? How much longer shall the pain, misery, and waste of money, consequent on the want of proper sanitary arrangements, be borne and suffered? We have often asked the question ; we have long endeavoured by all the me ms in our power to convince the public, how notch misery and loss might be prevented by simple and com paratively inexpensive measures, and we must continue to do so as the best mode of bringing about the changes so much to be desired. " Let it be remembered that a sickly popu lation is one of the most costly burdens of a state. Health is the poor man's capital in trade ; and whatever deteriorates that entails a direct lose, and eventually a heavy money charge, upon the community. The enormous amount of poverty and destitution in this country, and the consequent necessity for an impost of nearly 8,000,000/. sterling annually for its relief, are i❑ a great measure due to the pauperizing effects of preventible disease." But these are not the only social evils involved in this important inquiry. The localities that are the nurseries of sickness and death, are almost in variably found to be the haunts of immorality and crime. Filth and squalor are as productive of moral debasement a 9 of physical deprivation ; the two natures of man are so intimately connected, that the defilement of the one is generally asso ciated with pollution of the other.—Builder.
