LAW CHANGES.—There were various rumours current this Morning as to who were to be the new law officers of the Crown. Sir Frederick Thesiger will, of course, succeed to the vacaut Attorney-Generalship, and the great question of interest is, who is to be the new Solicitor-General. The name of Mr. Kelly has been mentioned, but it is conceived that the same reasons which prevented his appointment on the occasion of the last vacancy may still possibly exist. The names of Mr. Talbot and Mr. Stuart Wortley have also been Mentioned, but the favourite seems to be Mr. James Turner, the . Chancery barrister, who, it is said, is the new Conserva tive candidate for Dartmouth. EXETER ELECTION.—It is said that the state of the re gistry is such in this city that the Anti-Corn-law League Candidate, whoever he may be, will be certain of being re turned. GRAND REVIEW IN HYDE PARK. (THIS DAY.) This grand , :dsplay of military skill, which has already been twice Postponed on account of the unfavourable state of the weather, caine off to-di.y, in Hyde Park. The lines were formed a few minutes before eleven o'clock, and comprised the following distinguished '-ifilnents, the 4th Light Dragoons, the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, the Scotch Fusilier Guards, and the Grenadier Guards. The right Bank was in possession of the Ist and 2d battalion of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, and the other division of the regiment occupied the left. The Life Guards occupied the extreme left. The ground Was occupied by the 4th Regiment of Light Dragoons, and a de tachment of the 2d Grenadier Guards. The cavalry was Under the command of General the Honourable E. Lygon, and the infantry under Colonel Drummond. Viscount coMbennere was Commander-in-Chief. Precisely at eleven o'clock, and immediately after the formation of the lines, bier Majesty, Prince Albert, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duke of Wellington, and the Marquis of Anglesea, accornpa bled by a brilliant staff; arrived on the ground. Her Majesty and Party were received with full military honours, the ba n d playing the National Anthem. Her Majesty, who appeared in excellent health Ld spirits, and the Queen of th e B e l g i ans, were i n an o p en l an d au , iace Albert and the King of the Belgians were on horseback in full military uniform. The inspection of the lines being completed, the various evolutions were entered upon, and gone through with t he greatest order, precision, and rapidity, exciting not only the e h cerniums of the Royal party, but the admiration of the vast mul titude assembled, amounting to at least 30,000 persons. The Weather, though threatening in the morning, gradually cleared up, and during the whole progress of the review was everything that could be desired. We regret to state that an accident occurred during one of the evolutions which at first bore a very alarming a PPearance. While a column of the 4th Light Dragoons were re • treating before a charge of the Grenadier Guards, one of the horses b ecame restive, and rearing against the next in the rank, threw both horse and rider to the ground, the man being underneath, the whole W eight of the horse falling on his body. For a few minutes he lay quite insensible, and the general impression was, that he was killed. Fo rtunately, however, the surmise was not correct, for in about ten Minutes, and after a draught of water had been procured, he rallied, and ultimately was able to walk off the ground. By per -17'41 lociuiry we lea r n that he had r e ce iv ed no se r ious i n j ur y, per van only been stunned by th e f a ll. B e y on d thi s we did no t "'aro that any accident happened. We need only further add that her m ---Ajesty, both on her arrival and departure, was received with ` tir i token of loyalty and respect. MARKET NE ‘VS.--( THIS DAY.)

The House sat today to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and the Bishop of Ely, The following judges were also in attendance—The Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Colt man, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Baron Rolfe, and Mr. Baron Platt. HATFIELD V. PHILLIPS. The further arguments in this part-heard writ of error occupied their Lordships the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Lordship the Master of the Rolls, having disposed of the cases of " Dowden v. Hooke," and " Halcombe v. Antrobus," proceeded with the hearing of petitions. VICE-CHANGEItY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England, after disposing of several short applications at the sitting of the Court, heard causes, none of which call for a special report. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BaucE.) His Honour heard bankrupt petitions to-day. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) The :part.heard motion of " Lander v. Ingersoll" occupied his Honour the whole day. ARCHES' COURT.-(THIS DAY IN RE OAKLEY. Sir H. J. FUST delivered judgment in this case this morning. He commenced by reading a pamphlet written by Mr. Oakley, minister of the chapel of St. Margaret's, to the Lord Bishop of London, in which Mr. Oakley claimed the right of entertaining the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, though not the right of teaching them as a minister of the Church of England. The Learned Judge having gone through the greater part of the pamphlet, and commented thereon, stated that it was quite evident that it was the Roman Church which was alluded to by Mr. Oakley. The question then for him to consider was, whether the Church of Rome differed in its doctrines from the Church of England, and if it did, what was the distinction. The Court would look at the articles, not going through them all, but merely touching en the leading articles. They were drawn up in direct opposition to the Council of Trent. The foundation of the doctrines of the Church of England mainly rested upon the Scriptures, but the Roman Catholic Church added traditions to the Scriptures, and treated them with pari effectu with the Scriptures themselves. The decree of the first four Councils were received, be.. cause they were consistent with the Scriptures, and the decrees of the latter were rejected, because they were not founded on the Scriptures. Mr. Oakley also seemed to convey that the Council of Nica and the Council of Trent were entitled to the same authority. Assuming that new heresis had sprung up, he would not suppose the Church to be silent on such occasions. The Church which he spoke of was no doubt the Roman Church, for these were Councils of that Church, and the doctrines there laid down were recognised by the Pope of Rome. This was the manner in which he thinks it consistent with his duty to speak of the Reformers, by whose assistance the yoke of the Church of Rome was thrown off: He claimed the right to hold all the Roman doc trines laid down by the Councils of Trent and Nice since the sixth century. That certainly was to be the interpretation of his letter Then came the question as to what were the doctrines of the Roman Church which were opposed to those of the Church of Eng land. In the first place, he says that he subscribed to the 39 Articles. Mr. Oakley declared, as part of his belief the whole of the Roman doctrines; consequently he affirms his belief in the doctrine of purgatory, which is in direct contrariety to the belief of the Church of England, as it was not to be found in the Scriptures. That belief was quite repugnant to the articles of the Church of Eng land. Then as to the sacraments, the Church of England only recognised two sacraments. There were, however, seven to be believed by the Romish Church under the penalty of anathema, as was to be found in the seventh seetioq of the Council of Trent. So early as before the year 1476 were these set forth by the Council. The nest article was the question as to the Lord's Supper, to which the thirteenth section of the Council referred. The Church of England affirmed that transubstan tiation was not to be proved by the Scriptures, and that such a belief was repugnant to Holy Writ. The Council of Trent contradicted positively that affirmation that it was not founded on the Scriptures. The sixth canon declared that, on being consecrated, the bread and wine became con. •erted into the body and blood of Christ. How was Mr Oakley to show that these were not conflicting doctrines? It was impos sible that he could. Consequently he claims the right of affirming doctrines opposed to those of the Church of England ; and, as a mi nister of that Church, he was liable to censure. If, then, in any case, surely in this case the Court should give a severe sentence. He would revoke Mr. Oakley's license for preaching in the chapel of St. Margaret's, and prohibit him from the performance of any ministerial office in that chapel, or in the diocese of London, or within the province of the Court, until he shall have repented himself of his errors, and declared his readiness to retract, and did retract these errors ; and must, as a matter of course, also condemn him to the costs occasioned by the proceedings, and order his sentence to be published on Sun day next at the chapel of St. Margaret's. RAILWAY COMMIT TEES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. LEEDS AND THIILSIE LINE. The Committee, consisting of the Duke of Grafton, Lord Col. borne, the Bishop of Rochester, the Marquis of Ormonde, and Lord de Lisle and Dudley, met at eleven o'clock, Lord Colborne in the chair. This line met with strong opposition before the Committee of the House of Commons, P. M. Stewart. Esq., M.P., in the chair, it was before the same Committee, and in opposition to this line, that the Ripon and Harrogate line was brought under considera tion, and which, after many days' investigation, was suddenly with. drawn one morning, to the surprise of the Committee, who found that their time had been occupied for several days in a most useless manner. The subject was subsequently brought under the notice of the House of Commons, and it was alleged that there was some gambling connected with it of no creditable cha racter. The principle opponents in the Commons to the Leeds and Thirsk line were the Ripon and Harrogate line, already mentioned, the Earl of Cardigan, and Mr. Dynely. Lord Cardigan's opposition was in consequence of the line passing so near a beautiful old ruin, Kirkstall Abbey, on his property, and which his Lordphip has taken the pains of an antiquarian to pre serve. The promoters of the line, however, diverted it, so as to tender its proximity to the abbey as little disadvantageous as possible to the picturesqueness of the scenery. There were some landowners in opposition to the scheme, but their mouths were stopped with gold. The only remaining oppo. nents were the agents of Mr. Dynely, who were again in opposi tion to-day. Mr. Dynely is a lunatic under the guardianship of the Court of Chancery. It was by the Lord Chancellor's directions that Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C. , appeared in opposition to the line at the Com.. mons and before their Lordships to-day. His opposition is grounded on this fact. The line passes contiguous to the village of Bramhope, six miles from Leeds, and would, it was alleged, de stroy some valuable springs with which that town Is supplied with water. Mr. BAINEs, Q C., offered to insert clauses in the Bill guarantee ing an ample supply of water to the town in case the excavations from the line interfered with the springs in question. The terms offered were not considered satisfactory, and hence the appearance before their Lordships. These facts having been stated, the Noble CHAIRMAN said he really thought it would be much better if the parties would with draw and arrange the matter privately, as it was more a matter of private arrangement than for judicial interference. The Counsel agreed that this would be the most desirable course, and withdrew to confer. It may be mentioned that the line will connect some of the most important towns of the north of England—Wigan, Bolton; Roch. dale, and others of the same rank; it passes through one of the most fertile coal beds in that district, and if the traffic tables laid before the Commons' Committee were at all accurate, these can be no doubt but the line will be a most useful and successful specu lation. The investigation of the line before the Commons' Committee occupied ten days, when the preamble was at length declared proved. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP A. On the meeting of the Committee this morning at the usual hour, the Chairman said that Mr. M`Geachy was still unable to attend, and that the business mutt therefore proceed in his absence. Mr. COCKBURN then addressed the Committee on the part of the promoters of the EXHIBITTON OF THE FINE ARTS IN WESTMINSTER HALL. The exhibition of works of art in Westminster•hall was opened on Saturday for a private view. Our readers are aware that the Royal Commission of the Fine Arts have resolved, with the sanction of the Lords Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury, that six arched com partments in the House of Lords shall be decorated with fresco-paintings: that the subjects of such fresco-paint ings shall be illustrative of the functions of the House of Lords and of the relation in which it stands to the Sove reign: that the subjects of three of the said fresco-paint ings shall be personifications or abstract representations of religion, justice, and the spirit of chivalry ; and that the three remaining subjects corresponding with such representations, and expressing the relation of the Sove reign to the Church, to the law, and, as the fountain of honour, to the State, shall be, the Baptism of Ethelbert; Prince Henry, afterwards Henry V., acknowledging the authority of Chief Justice Gascoigne ; and Edward the Black Prince receiving the Order of the Garter from Edward 111. They have commissioned six artists, viz., Richard Redgrave, A.R.A , William Cave Thomas, Charles West Cope, A.R.A., John Callcott Horsley, William Dyce, and Daniel Maclise, R.A., selected by the Commissioners from among the present exhibitors in 'Westminster-hall, to prepare cartoons, coloured sketches, and specimens of fresco-painting for the subjects above mentioned. But the Commissioners, not binding themselves to employ such artists on the fresco-paintings in the House of Lords, and being desirous of giving a further opportunity to artists, other than the above artists, to exhibit speci mens of their ability in cartoon drawing and fresco painting, have opened the subjects to general competition, offering three premiums of 2001. each fur the three best designs. Each artist was required to send in a cartoon, 9 feet 3 inches wide, by 16 feet high to the point of the arch ; also, a coloured sketch, not less than 18 inches in its shortest dimensions, of the entire design repre sented. The cartoon and a fresco painting, not less than three feet—its shortest dimensions, representing a part of the design in full proportion. These works, 116 in number, were opened for private view on Saturday, and are opened this morning for public exhibition. The three prizes have been awarded to J. Noel Paton, jun., Dunfermline, North Britain, for " The Spi r it of Reli gion ;" to Edward Armitage, 13, George-street, Adel phi, who carried off one of the prizes at the first exhi bition of cartoons two years since, for the same subject ; and to John Tenniel, jun., 22, Gloucester-place, New road, for an allegory of Justice. The award is signed Lansdowne, Robert Peel, Samuel Rogers, Richard West mama, Richard Cook, William Etty. The following is the description given in the catalogue of Mr. Paton's prize cartoon : " The human soul is typified, under the influence of the Spirit of Religion, fighting the good fight of Faith,' and pressing towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.' The Christian soul is assailed by the three great principles that en danger spiritual life—the pride of unhallowed and law less domination, the lust of pleasure, and the mysterious tendency towards ill ; (scripturally) the w or ld, the flesh, and the devil. Fame, on his right, strives to allure him from his enterprise, by the phantasmal pa geantry of earthly glory—the victory in the battle field —the triumph in the city —and the apotheosis in the sacred place ; but he has overcome the spirit of the world, and tramples him under foot. Pleasure, the in sidious parasite, still clings to him, but he spurns her from. his side. The fetters of sensuality are broken ; his aim is a higher destiny ; his course is upward and onward, and he is alike regardless of her lures and of the scenes of revelry and voluptuousness which her at tendant Bacchanal presents to him ; his utmost energies are concentrated to repel the assault of the Evil One, who interposes 17tween him and the re alization of his hope, while The Lamb, slain from the beginning, the Alpha and Omega,' extends his helping hands ; the angelic swords are bared—the fiend is baffled—and the soul is rescued." There is some very beautiful drawing in this cartoon, but we do not like the manner in which Mr. Paton treats his subject. It would be impossible to understand the mean ing of the picture without the explanation which accom panies it. It does not explain itself, and might, but for the explanation, be taken for a picture of the Ascension. Mr. Armitage has, to our taste, treated the subject in a much more artist-like manner. The following is the description, in the catalogue, of his cartoon No. 46 : " Religion, unfolding her mantle, reveals herself to man kind. The clouds of error recede before the star of truth. Faith kneels in humble adoration holding the palm branch, the emblem of martyrdom. Hope, with one hand on the Gospel, and the other pointing to the Cross, bids the captive, the dying, and the broken-hearted look up to religion, and Charity, uninfluenced by human pre judices, extends her protection to the helpless and out cast." This is really a very fine design, and is executed :in a most masterly manner. Callcott Horsley's cartoon, Ne. 35 (Religion exemplified in the faith and hope of the Cross of Christ, in the subjection of all earthly power and human distinctions to His will, and in the common depen dance of all estates and conditions of men on His word) which was executed by commission, is also exceedingly :fine, and we scarcely know to which of these two we ought to award the preference. The other prize cartoon, No. 85, " An Allegory of Justice," by John Tenniel, jun., is a production of the highest order of art, and which is the perfection of allegorical painting—it com pletely tells its story. The figure of Justice occupies the centre of the upper part of the picture ; with her arms extended, she protects a girl and a boy, who have clung to her robe, one on each side. The boy has just escaped from his pursuers, whose countenances bear the expression of baffled malignity, as they shrink back to avoid her uplifted arm. The group ing of the figures below, personifying the diffe rent attributes of Justice, is also very fine, and the public voice will we deubt not confirm the award of the Commissioners. The cartoon on the same subject, No. 38, executed by commission by W. Cane Thomas, is also a work of a high order of art, but we certainly pre fer Mr. Tenniel's treatment of the subject. No. 41, " The Spirit of Chivalry," executed by commission by Maclise, is by far the best picture on the subject in the exhibition. The number of figures in the composition is very great as may be gathered from the following de scription given in the catalogue :—" The Spirit, or per sonification' of Chivalry, is surrounded by men of va rious pursuits—religious, military, and civil, who repre sent, as by an upper court or house, the final acquisition of her honours and rewards. Beneath, as not having obtained, though within reach of, the crown, a young Knight vows himself to chivalric services, attended by his Page and invited by his lady's favour. Beside, or around him, in various grades, other figures are intro duced ; to connect the abstract representation' of Chi valry with its general recognition of intellectual in fluences. Among them the Painter, Sculptor, and Man of Science ; the Bard, inspiring youth by his recitals ; the Troubadour and his Mistress ; the Palmer from the Holy Land ; and the Poet-historian, from whom future ages must derive their know ledge of the spirit and the deeds of Chivalry." But the most artist-like management is shown in the grouping. The expression of the features of each figure is very fine, and perfectly appropriate. It is a design to study, and it requires to be studied long to tho roughly appreciate its beauties. Of the various pictures of the Baptism of Ethelbert, the best is certainly the one executed by commission by Mr. Dyce, No. 63. He bas avoided the fault into which almost all the other exhi bitors have fallen, of making Ethelbert at the time of his baptism a young man. Frank Howard's design for the same subject, No. 72, is also a fine work of art. The only design on the subject of Edward the Black Prince receiving the Order of the Garter is No. 57, exe cuted by commission by C. W. Cope, who has handled the subject in a very artist-like manner. On the subject of Prince Henry, afterwards Henry V., acknow ledging the authority of the Chief Justice Gascoigne, there are numerous designs of very various degrees of merit. The best, however, is certainly No. 60, executed by commission by Richard Redgrave. The expression of dignity which he has infused into the bearing and ex pression of the chief justice is very - fine. As a whole this exhibition, as an exhibition of frescos, is superior to the one of last year, but not equal to the cartoon exhi bition of two years since. This, however, may be ac counted for from the narrow limits in which the artists were confined by being restricted to so few subjects. There are also some models of statuary, many of which, the " Nymph," for instance (135), by John Ternouth, " Love Triumphant," (139), by P. M'Dowall, and a girl reading (140), by the same artist, are exceedingly beautiful, but which we should imagine cannot, by possibility, be used as decorations to the Houses of Parliament. The statue of Archbishop Cran mer (119), by henry Shenton, is a work which may legi timately find a place in the Palace of Westminster, as Alfred the Great (126) by John Henning, jun., and the Fair Maid of Kent, and Richard the Second at the shrine of the Virgin (142), by the same artist. There is also an excellent portrait statue of Shakespeare (127) by John Bell, and a beautiful design of a monument to Camp bell (141) by Patrick Park. The exhibition was visited during the afternoon by a great number of Peers and Members of Parliament, and by a crowd of fashionable dilettanti. SOUTH-EASTERN LINE, and said as he could not speak against the two lines, the North Kent and the London and Croydon, at the same time, he would first point out the superiority of the South-Eastern to the former, which he considered the most formidable antagonist, and then to the latter. Mr. Cockburn then described the course of the two lines from London to Chatham, and dwelt at some length on the distance of the Woolwich station from the town, and the consequent want of accommodation to the in. habitants. Mr. Cockburn also referred to the manner in which the proposed line would pass Woolwich, the evidence concerning which has been published from time to time in the columns of The Sun. The Learned Counsel then read over the whole of the correspondence on this subject, which bad been put in in evidence by Mr. Sergeant Wrangham on the part of the North Kent Company, and particularly the letters of Mr. Hignet, which professed to contain the consent of the Board of Ordnance to the proposed dev)Qtion beyond the ordinary limits. These papers had been prepared Ili Mr. Hignet without the acqui. escenco of the Master-General of the Board, and there fore were of no value. It was evident that the clauses had been prepared by Mr. Hignet at the direction of some person con nected w th the North Kent line, but on Mr. Stevens (the solicitor to the North Kent line) examining them, he saw that they were not sufficient, as it was necessary to have the direct and written consent of the Board, and not merely an implied consent in the clauses. (LIM BITTING.) • GROUP K. CAMBRIDGE AND BURY LINE. The Committee resumed this day at noon, Viscount Sandon in he chair. Mr. Pare, the fraffic taker, corrected several items in his tables as put in on Friday last, every particular in one, and almost every particular in the other schedules were altered ; and in answer to a searching examination by Mr. Ricardo, the witness admitted his inaccuracy, and the conflicting statements of witnesses as prior and subsequent to examination. Mr. GIRDEN complained of the inconvenience to the opponents of the Bill from the traffic tables being continually altered without obtaining any previous intimation of the change. Mr. Duncan, solicitor, the law clerk of the Eastern Counties Railway, in examination by Mr. TALBOT, Q. C., deposed to the prospective opening of the Cambridge and Ely line on the 9th inst. The income of the Eastern Counties Company is 5,0001. a week, or a produce of 260,0001. annually : deducting 104,0001., being 40 per cent., for working expenses, the sum of 156,000/. remained to pay engagements with other lines. As lessees of the Northern and Eastern Rano ay they paid 47,0001. a year for its use to Bishops Stortford, leaving 99,0001. as a guarantee of the rental of the present projected line between Cambridge and Bury. The order of priority of claim, in the event of the line being granted, and its lease effected, would be Ely and Peterborough No. 1 Stock, and Cambridge and Bury No. 2 stock, and those claims must be all satisfied before the Share holders received any returns or dividend whatever. The construc tion of the line was estimated to cost 330,0001., which would be raised by a subscription of 5/. per cent, on the subscribed capital of 669,0001. of the Eastern Counties Railway. (anrT IIITTINO.) GROUP L. SOUTH-WESTERN BRANCHES. PORTSMOUTH GROUP. The Committee resumed this morning at twelve o'clock by ad journment from Friday last, when it will be remembered by our readers that the Committee decided that so much of the pre amble of the South-Western Company's Bill should be allowed as went to make a line from Guildford to Godalming and also from Fareham to Portsea. The Guildford and Godalming branch was first taken, and the clauses were allowed up to the point where the junction at Godal ming with the Direct Portsmouth line was required, when a dis pute arose as to the way in which this was effected, when it was ultimately decided, according to the wish of the Committee, to give as much public accommodation as possible. A clause was then drawn up for ef f ecting this purpose, ( LEFT sirrnm.) GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN LINE. The Committee met today at twelve o,clock, when Mr. Winberry was called to prove certain returns which he had obtained from the Stamp-office on the 7th of June, in reference to the coach traffic. He read the numbers from a return of a list of the coaches in the Stamp-office returns of the 31st of May, 1845, not included in the London and York table. The coaches were as follows :—One from London to Welwyn ; one from York to Doncaster, two from Doncaster to Askeon, a distance of six miles north ; one running two days hnd another six ; one from Don caster to Sheffield ; that went from Doncaster to Bawtery, and then on by the Sheffield branch ; one from Doncaster to Wake field ; two from Lincoln to Gainsborough ; one from Newark to Stamford; two from Boston to Spalding; this list was made since the last table was given in ; those last two began in July 1844 ; none of those were included in the tables already put in ; was quite sure of that. Mr. HILDYARD said he asked the latter question, as he intended to produce evidence to contradict the answer. Wit ness then proceeded. The next was a coach from Boston to Wisbeach ; the next from Boston to New Hol land. Is not aware that a Bill has passed both Houses of Parliament for the formation of a line from New Holland to Market.rasen. The next was a coach from Lincoln to New Hol land; this coach stopped in October last, and began again in July. The next were two coaches from Boston to Leicester. The next, a coach from Worksop to Eckington., Mr. Parks was then called on behalf of the Cambridge and Lin coln line to rebut this evidence. He deposed that none of those coaches were running at the time stated. He found that three only of them had commenced since April, 1844 ; one began in June, 1844; one in August, 1844; and one in May, 1845. In the next instance there were six coaches out of the 17, none of which were running in May at all, and were not running now at all, except one, which commenced in June, but was not running now. Witness had taken all this from the Stamp.office returns, to which the London and York had the same access that he had. In the next instance none of the coaches mentioned by Mr. Winberry were in his (Mr. P.'s) list. In the next there were two coaches running in September last, which had not been included in the London and York table; and he also found two coaches had been put In those tables which he could not find in the Stamp-office returns. In the next case the London and Welwyn coaeh was run ning in May, but not in June 1844. Did run in July, August, and September, but not in October, or any other month of 1844, and performed only three journeys in May, 1845. The next, that between York and Doncaster, stopped in February and March, and began in April, and was running in May, 1845. The next, that from Doncaster to Askerton, that was stopped in September, 1844; was not running in May, 1845, but began again in June of this year. The next, another coach on the same line, was running in April, 1844, stopped in July, and was running in May, 1845. 'The next, that from Doncaster to Sheffield, had been omitted in the London and York tables, as were also the coaches numbered 8,864, 8,873, and 8,891. The coach from Boston to Spalding stopped in Sep tember, 1844, and was not running in May, 1 845. T h e next, that from Boston to Wisbeach, stepped i n J anuary, 1845, and did not run since. The next, that marked 8,811, commenced running in April, 1845, and stopped in May; it had not been running before. Thoe two marked 8,861 and 8,862 had been omitted from the London and York tables. The last mentioned in the list were not running in 1844, but were now. (LEFT SITTING.) , SHOCKING ACCIDENT. — THE RESULT OF INTOXICA TION.—On Friday morning, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, a frightful accident occurred to George Ackland, an engineer, residing in Goodge.street, Totten ham.court-road. It appears that Ackland, some few months ago, received a legacy, under the will of a deceased relative, since which time he has totally neglected his business and abandoned himself to habits of intoxication. Yesterday morning, about the hour named, he was brought home to his lodgings by a companion frantic with drink, and after some considerable difficulty was safely conveyed to bed. Shortly afterwards, loud screams were heard proceeding from a fellow lodger living underneath, and it is supposed that in looking out of the window Ackland must have overbalanced himself, and was thereby precipitated into the yard, falling with extreme violence upon his head. Medical assistance was promptly procured, when it was ascertained that the unfortunate man had sustained an exten. sive fracture of the skull. From the nature of the injuries he has received there are not the remotest hopes of his recovery. PROSPEROUS STATE OF HAWICK.--Trade is Still continuing good. The mills are fully employed, and no person is idle who is able and willing to work. Many of our manufacturers are gradually extending their business, and more goods are made at present than at any former period. The population is of course increasing, and were a stranger with a family to arrive here at pre • sent, they would find it difficult to get a house to live in.—.Kelso Chronicle. About half-past twelve yesterday morning a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Bradley, tailor, King's-road, near the Rnyal Military Asylum, Chelsea. When first discovered the flames were raging furiously in the shop. The engines promptly attended, but the flames were not subdued till the contents of the shop were destroyed. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, JUNE 26.—Several communes in the province of Brabant have lately been desolated by a furious hurricane, which destroyed the greater part of the standing crops in these districts, and reduced many families to extreme distress. BRUSSELS, JUNE 28.—Numbers of German emigrants, in tending to go to Brazil, continue to arrive. Last Saturday several emigrants arrived at Ostend, where they embarked on board small transports, which convey them to Dunkirk. Three thousand Gelman emigrants have passed through to Ostend within these two months. In the month of March last, the twenty.seven principal railroads of Germany conveyed 594,391 passengers; in March, 1844, the number was 548,543—increase in March, 1845, 45,878. In the first three months of this year the number of passengers was 1,675,650 ; in the first quarter of 1844 it was I,397,4B6—increase, 1845, 278,170. The receipt in the first quarter of 1845 was 1,376,588 dollars; in the first quarter of 1844 it was 1,186,755 dollars—increase n 1845, 189,833 dollars. FIRE NEAR THE NEW• ROAD.—Last night (Sun day), shortly before seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the back workshop on the basement story of the residence of Mr. Tooke, cabinet-maker, 13, Judd-street, New•road. The discovery was made by some of the inmates, who noticed a considerable quantity of smoke issuing from the lower part of the premises. Buckets of water were shortly afterwards obtained, and with the assistance of the police and neighbours, some of the valuable stock was re. moved, and the flames prevented from extending beyond the room. The damage, however, is considerable, a quantity of stock in trade being destroyed or considerably damaged. THE LATE CALAMITOUS FIRE AT RAGGETT'S HOTEL. —On Saturday last, Mr. Austin, the proprietor of Peele's Coffee house, Fleet.street, forwarded, through the banking-house of Messrs. Coutts and Co. , a letter to the committee for managing the Raggett Fund, containing a cheque for 101. 35., the subscription of himself and several gentlemen frequenting his house, who sympa thise with the unfortunate widow and surviving family of the late Mr. Raggctt, in their melancholy bereavements. THE ABDUCTION CASE IN BRUNSWICK-SQUARE.- n The Sun of last week there appeared an account of the abduc- I tion of two young ladies from the house of their mother, a boarding house.keeper, in Millman-street, Brunswick.square. Since then inquiries have been made by our informant that have put us into possession of the following additional particulars, at the same time giving a somewhat different complexion to the motives which were supposed in the first instance to have influenced the abductors. Up to Tuesday evening last, although every exertion had been made to trace the young ladies, not the slightest clue was obtained of them beyond the fact of it being known that the woman Reynoldson was at Vauxhall gardens at the bet masque, when the mother received a letter in the handwriting of her eldest daughter Ellen, and bearing the Paris post-mark ; the note simply stated that she had acted upon her own choice ; that in a few days she should change her name, becoming the wife of a peer of France ; that her sister was with her, and in perfect health. In 1843, by the death of an uncle, the eldest daughter, Ellen, at 21, comes into uncontrolled possession of upwards of 13,000/., she now wanting but a few months of that period. It is supposed, there. fore, that the younger sister became her companion at her request. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF MAILS, SOUTH AMPTON, JUNE 28.—The Oriental Company's steamer, the Queen, Captain Russell, arrived in the docks at twelve o'clock last night, and landed the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails, which were forwarded to London by the two o'clock train this morning.

The Caroline was expected to sail in a few days after the Herefordshire, and therefore may be daily expected to arrive. She proceeds to the St. Katharine's Dock. This will be the second present to her Majesty from the Imaum of Muscat. PUGILISM.-THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND.- The great fight between Caunt, the present champion, and Bendigo for the champion's " belt," and for 4001. (2001. a side) is appointed to come off on the 9th of September. At a meeting of the ad mirers of pugilism, held on Tuesday last, at Spring's, the fifth deposit was made, and the sixth appointed to be made that day fortnight. Both men, it is expected, will shortly commence active training. _ _ COSTS BE FORE MAGISTRATES AT PETTY SESSIONS. —A poor man, named John Rose, was charged on Wedriesday last, before the magistrates of the Egham division of the county of Surrey, with having cut some grass, of the value of one penny, growing by the side of a ditch on the farm of Mr. Lane. He was. convicted of having done damages to the extent of four farthings, which he was ordered to pay, together with costs, amounting to upwards of one hundred and fifty times that sum, the expenses being 13s. 6d. ! The defendant had a fortnight allowed him to raise the amount of the costs, and in default, he was ordered to committed to prison for three weeks! THE HUME, JUNE 27,—A deputation of Members of the two Chambers proceeded today in state to the King's Palace, to present to his Majesty the address on the affairs of Surinam. ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY. A daily increasing attendance of visitors at this fa vourite and valuable institution bears testimony to the excellence of the new management. On Saturday the principal objects of attention were the lectures upon Phillip's Fire Annihilator and Kollman's Railway Im provements ; both inventions of which the importance to society far exceeds the great interest which they excite as matters of curious and attractive exhibition. The nature and the powers of the " Fire Annihilator" have already been adequately explained in the columns of The Sun, and it is painful, in the midst of constantly recurring conflagrations and miserable loss of life, to witness the apathy with which this powerful means of preventing both appears to be disregarded. There is no presumption in asserting that the scientific principles of Mr. Phillip's Fire Annihilator are irrefragable in theory, and that their practical application is easy and inexpen sive, and their success, as demonstrated in the experi ment, complete and indubitable. If the benevolent per sons who exert themselves to discover and encourage contrivances for saving life from fire would turn their attention to the Annihilator, there wouldlsoon be an absolute end to metropolitan " fires," and the burning of ships at sea. It is not so easy to give a positive and certain opinion as to the perfection of Mr. Kollman's Railway Locomotive and Carriage Improvements," for daily experience in the Parliamentary Committees makes it but too evident that the highest theoretical knowlege may be mistaken, and the most exquisite working models may deceive in railway engineering, of which nothing can be certainly relied on that has not been amply proved upon a large scale of actual practice. In making this cautionary ob servation, there is no intention to cast an ungenerous doubt upon a series of inventions which unquestionably display great mechanical ingenuity, originality, and scientific attainments. It is certainly most, interesting, as well as amusing, to see the model trains traverse the miniature railroad in the gallery, with all the bustle, fume, and speed of a Birmingham express, and ascend, unretarded, up inclinations of one in seventeen. But our space would not allow us to detail all the advantages which, with apparently good reas , n, are expected from the invention, and permits no more than to direct atten tion to a most curious and pleasing exhibition. The other lectures and entertainments in the Gallery were of the usual attractive character. Major Beniewski continues to lecture with increased popularity upon his admirable system of phrenotypics, and Mr. Scott's ex planations of the electrical eels should be carefully at tended to by every admirer of nature's wonders who visits this Institution. The Infant Sappho, after a long and prosperous tour in the provinces, will make her re appearance here this evening, and her return will gra tify her old admirers and all who can appreciate true melodic genius, unparalleled in precocity and scope sine the infancy of Mozart. There will be no small interest in observing what change or improvement two or three years have effected i i her voice and wonderful faculties. LITERATURE. MEMOIRS OF SOPHIA DOROTHEA, CON SORT OF GEORGE I. This work is chiefly composed from the secret archives of Hanover, Brunswick, Berlin, and Vienna, and contains letters and other decuments published from the originals. The more interesting portions of it re late to the death of the Count Konigsmark, and the treatment of the wife of George I. The general belief is that this princess was imprisoned in a fortress under the most mysterious circumstances—that some horrible crime on her part had led to this severity—and that her husband, who was Crown Prince of Hanover, and during her imprisonment, or rather seclusion, mounted the throne of England, had shown towards her a degree of cruelty and vindictive vengeance which rendered him unworthy of the high station to which he was elevated by the British Parliament. These are all exaggerations, and the accounts furnished by the author, who leans to the side of the Princess, leave little doubt on the subject. The Court of Hanover at that time was the most cor rupt in Europe (we know not what it is now). George the First had many mistresses, but, like George the Fourth, he would make no allowances for indiscretions committed by his wife; she was like Queen Caroline in discreet; :'advantage was taken of her fully, or perhaps crimes, a " green bag" invest; gation was instituted, and the unfortunate culprit was found guilty and confined to the Castle of Ahlden. Her confinement., 'however, was not solitary. She was permitted to invite the civil and military authorities of the place, and the gentlemen in the neighbourhood. She had a large retinue of at tendants and servants, as many as fourteen footmen, a proportionate number of females, three cooks, &c., but was chisel) , watched, and allowed little com munication with her father's family. But even her father had cast her off, and a general belief at the time prevailed that she was a woman of irregular habits, and that her separation from her husband had been brought on by her own conduct. The author, however, attributes all her misfortunes to the changeable disposition of her husband, and the intrigues of his mistresses, and espe cially to the Countess Platen, who transmitted to her a forged letter, as coming from Count Konigsmark, re questing her permission to visit her i❑ her private apart ments. The request was granted ; yet, after they both discovered the letter to be a forgery, they remained together for some hours, and thereby gave the Countess the opportunity which she wanted, of adducing this long interview as a proof of their criminal intercourse. The part of the palace in which she resided was surrounded with armed men, for the purpose of seizing the Count ; he had to make his escape, a scuffle ensued, and he fell mortally wounded, his last words being" Spare the in nocent Princess." This tragic scene is thus described . " On leaving the Princess, the forged letter had presented itself to his mind as a snare that could not have been em ployed without a purpose ; that it was the production of an enemy there could be but little question, and he need not have hesitated long before he must have been satisfied who that enemy was. When he ascertained that the doors through which he had hitherto proceeded out of the palace from the Princess's apartments were locked, he began to fear he was enclosed in a trap. He walked cautiously along, and on the first rush of the trabants his sword was out of its scabbard before they could lay hold of him. "Urged on by the Countess, and inflamed by the liquor they had drunk, the men attacked him furiously with their weapons. A most desperate conflict ensued, the result of which might have been doubtful—for the Count had in flicted several severe wounds on his assailants—had not the blade of his sword snapped in two. He had endeavoured to give the alarm, but his cries were soon stopped; and, when his weapon became unserviceable, he was easily secured and carried into the adjoining room. Here the alarmed soldiers discovered that the person they had thus arrested was so severely wounded he could not stand upright. He had just strength to murmur an entreaty to spare the innocent Prin ces,' though they murdered him, when he fell into a swoon as they were placing him on the floor. " The Countess made her appearance directly the wounded man had been brought out of the hall, and the first object that met his eyes on recovering; consciousness, was the face of his malignant enemy bending over him with triumphant malice expressed in every feature. He rallied all his re maining strength to denounce her as the infamous wretch she was, but his mouth was stopped by the foot of his as sassin, who pretended she had slipped in his blood, barba rously trod on his wounded face. Life was ebbing fast—too fast either to resent or notice the indignity, and in a few seconds the murdered man breathed his last." This unfortunate result sealed the fate of the Prin cess. She was confined for thirty years as a state pri soner, and died in the fortress of Ahlden on the 15th of November, 1726, George the First did not long survive her, for he expired at Osnabruck in the month of June the following year. The work furnishes a sad picture of the state of morals at the Courts of England and Hanover during the period of which it treats. CORPORAL PUNISHMENTS.

REPORTED LOSS of the APOLLO. In the brief notice on Saturday of the supposed loss of this vessel, she is said to have been bound from Quebec, instead of Halifax. In addition to the particulars already given, the follow. ing paragraph from the Courier, of St. John's, Newfoundland, of June 14th, received at Lloyd's, will be perused with interest LATEST FROM N EWFOUNDLAND.--REPOREED WRECK OF A MA N- OF. WA R. "The royal mail steamer North America, Captain Meagher, ar rived yesterday from St. John's, Newfoundland, which port she left on Saturday evening, and stopped at Sydney, Cape Breton, to land and receive mails. The steam.frigate Vesuvius, with Lieu. tenant. General the Earl of Cathcart. the recently.appointed Com mander of the forces in Canada on board, arrived. " In the Morning Post of the 7th inst., it is stated that a ru mour had been abroad the day previous, at St. John's, that a vessel had been lost at St. Shot's, and sixty men had perished. It was said to be either the frigate Spartan, or the transport Apollo, but they have not been able to trace the report to any authentic source." —llal(fax Pest. [The Spartan arrived at Quebec on the 4th of June. The Apollo sailed from Halifax on the Ist inst. for Quebec.] WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.—This afternoon, between five and six o'clock, a person, in the garb of a sailor, was discovered suspended (by means of his handkerchief tied round his neck) to the rails in the Long-walk, about a quarter of a mile from the Castle, by Mr. Lima, of Brunswick-terrace. His feet were resting upon the ground, and he appeared to the numerous passers by, to be kneeling and looking into the Sheet-street-road. Mr. Lima, and Mr Tatner, of Adelaide-square, who was on the spot, lost no time in cutting him down and sending for the aid of the police, who forthwith conveyed him on a plank to the gaol when Mr. Holderness and Mr. Eton, surgeons, were immediately, in attendance. The poor man, who was black in the face, and for a long time, to all appearance, dead, was fortunately restored to life after half an hour's persevering exertions on the part of the medical men. His name is Jackin, and it appeared, from docu ments found upon him, that he has just been discharged from the Dreadnought hospital ship by his own request. No money was found upon him, and, according to his own statement, want and poverty drove him to attempt self-destruction. He was removed this evening, by order of the authorities of the borough, to the Windsor Union Workhouse, to be taken care of. He ap peared to be between thirty and forty years of age, and an able bedied seaman. FINSBURY SOCIETY Scnoor.s.—Last week the 53d anniversary dinner of this popular institution took place at the Canonbury House, Islington, when a highly respectable party of gentlemen partook of a handsome entertainment; William Hunter, Esq., Alderman and Sheriff, in the chair ; and was sup ported by R. L. Jones, Esq., W. Girdler, Esq., H. Lee, Esq., J. B. Priestman, Esq., J. Dale, Esq., J. Fullerton, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Gleadall, and the churchwardens of St. Luke's. After the usual loyal toasts the Chairman gave the health of George Byng, M. P., which was received with much respect. Its the course of the evening the children were introduced, amid great applause; and certainly their neat dress and intellectual appearance was highly calculated to create that feeling. The Rev. Mr. Gleadall, in a very appropriate speech, addressed the children, pointed out the many advantages they possessed, and hoping that the geod instruc tions they now received would be carried out by them into after life ; he also passed a well.meritcd encomium upon Mr. Barre, the highly respected master. The healths of the treasurer, clergy, committee, stewards, churchwardens of St. Luke, and honorary secretary, were afterwards given and severally re sponded to, after which the party broke up, much delighted with the proceedings of the evening. FALL FROM A HousE-Top.—On Friday morning, soon after two o'clock, Mr. Richard Godfrey, the son of Mrs. Godfrey, of New-street, Lambeth, fell from the roof of the house into the back yard, when in pursuit of two men who were supposed to be thieves. Mrs. Godfrey had been awakened by a noise on the roof of the house, and roused her son and an apprentice, and the former got on the roof through the trap-door. He saw two men there, who retreated into the next house, which Was empty, and in endeavouring to follow them his foot slipped, and he fell to the ground from a height of nearly forty feet. His arm and right leg were broken, and he was otherwise much injured. Deputations from the Governors of the North Ame rican provinces were received on Saturday at the Colo nial Office.
