Cavning LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1845. By the Fidelia packet•ship, which arrived on Monday afternoon at Liverpool, we have advices from New York, the most interesting partion of which is, probably, a copy of the manifesto of the Mexican Republic, under date of the 14th of June last, declaring war against the United States, on account of the decree of that body sarctioned by the Executive, annexing Texas to, anc incorporating it with, the Federal Union. The documen thus promulgated by the Mexican Government is con ceived in a becoming and independent spirit, a: d ex pressed in dignified and dispassionate terms. We have never permitted ourselves to regard the question of this abrorption of the Texan territory in the narrow poin't of view under which some of our contemporaries look upon it ; that is, in reference merely to the value or extent of its present or future commercial relations, its positive or contingent importance to this ccuntry. We should as soon induce ourselves to estimate the bearings of the Oregon question by an approximated ca?culation of the value of all the peltry furs brought into the North-west Company's ports adjacent to the mouth of the Columbia River, or the aggregate tonnage which enters and dc parts out of those waters in the course of a year. In neither case is the question to be determined one of money value or its equivalent. It involves far more ex tensive and important considerations ; it is to be de cided on principles which govern the rights and protect the integrity of nations. Those principles cannot be bet ter announced than in the language employed by the Mexican Government. In denouncing the conduct which has been pursued by the Congress and Government of the United States, throughout the whole course of the dishonest and disgraceful transactions commenced by the late General JACKSON, organized and matured by the ex President TYLER, and consummated by his successor, Mr. PoLK, the head of the Mexican Republic says, " This mode of appropriating to itself territories upon which other nations have rights, introduces a monstrous novelty, endangering the peace of the world, and viola- ting the sovereignty of nations ;"—" that the usurpation now consummated to the prejudice of Mexico has been in insidious preparation for a long time," during which, on the part of the United States, " the most cordial friendship was proclaimed for Mexico ;" the faith and obligations of existing treaties being, by Mexico, in the interim, " strictly and legally observed." There is not one tittle of these pregnant averments s%hich are to be disputed. The evidence to their truth has been sup- plied by the repeated acts, and declarations, subsequently acknowledged, of the Government of the United States, and of its accredited functionaries. It has been, in our times, the favourite maxim of most of the " statesmen" of the Federal Union, that " might is right." No higher justification has been either relied upon or cared fur, by the native and official apologists of their exterminating warfare and usurpations against the " red men ;" their vindication of slavery ; their foment ing of the divisions and troubles of Canada ; their inso lent violation of all international law in the case of Mr, NPLEon ; their convenient " repudiations" of the public iebts of their St•:tes ; their extravagant pretensions t. the Oregon ; and their now gravely propounded doc trine—after a publicly-uttered " extacy" of Mr. PEaci. VAL MoNno to the effect that the destiny (forsooth !) of the United States required that no further settlement by any other nations of the world could be allowea upon tieir continent—that the time is at hand at which he supremacy of the Federal Union must be asserted over the whole of the New World. We have the lowest possible opinion of that statesmanship, which can com mit itself to the errors of such an unprincipled, but hap pily suicidal, scheme of policy. But we enter tain the bravest fears that its pestilent manifestations cannot long be repressed without bloodshed ; for they are, as Mexico solemnly affirms, " incompatible with the peace of the world and the sovereignty of independent na- tions." There seems little probability that the excite ment of such an aggressive feeling as now agitates the population of the United States, under the incessant fostering of impetuous democrats and reckless theorists, can be stilled by the calm reasoning, or the wise remon strances of the few WEBSTERS and EVERETTS, who can be found wise enough, or bold enough, to impress upon their countrymen the virtues of moderation, political in tegrity, national honour, or financial good faith. Meanwhile, what is to be the issue of the contest be tween Mexico and the United States ? If Mexico be left to her own disorganised resources, the struggle will be long protracted, sanguinary, harassing—but not doubtful. Mexico must fight the natural strength, aEd present the natural bulwarks of her territory, against her active and acclimatised enemy ; but in the end, we sear, she would be forced to succumb from the want of material forces, a disciplined and paid army, or an organised militia. But will she be unas assisted ? Will she be I-ft to succumb by those great European Powers, who have disposable material forces and disciplined and well-paid armies—and fleets to boot—against which all the military and naval power of the United St%tes, were it quintupled to morrow, could make no head,—but wlich some of these Powers cannot reckon on long retaining if they tolerate the successful assertion of pretensions against the independence of Mexico, which would, in their turn, be assuredly soon set in motion against their own authority and rights ? If Mexico have no navy, no cruisers—they have. If the coasts of Mexico may be easily scoured by United States' cruisers, the sea-board of the United States' territory on the Atlantic—that is, the portion of those dominions which embraces their fairest and richest cities and harbours, stores and public works—is equally accessible. If the United States' Go. vernment have hitherto been unable to comprehend, or unwilling to respond to the forbearance and self-posses sion which far more powerful Governments of the Old World have manifested in treating for the adjustment of claims upon the latter, the extravagance of which has been afterwards owned to by the former in the language of vaunting self-congratulation, those European Go vernments may not be disinclined to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by the aid to be given to Mexico of reading to the United States a memorable but fearful lesson. The United States may be taught in a manner not to be forgotten by the remotest pos terity, the danger of Governments attt mptu g to blind other nations to the flagrant character cf the political crimes they are bent on perpetrating, by provoking a weaker Power to a war, fr3m which they anticipate political aggrandisement to themselves—political lation to their victims. They may find that the dragons' teeth they sow will grow into an armed host, by whom they themselves must fall. ti Neque lex justior ulla Quart) necis artifices ar t e perire Letters from Frankfort of the 7th state that the German Diet has voted 100,000 florins for the arming THE SUN, L 4 - )1V DON, WEDNES D A E \TEN IN G, AUGUST 13, 184--9 MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO- THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales, without any change in prices, including 600 Egyptian at 6%d. to 6:34d. ; 140 Sea Island at 11%d. to lie 3d. ; tnd the rest American at 3%(1. to sd. per pound. There was not much doing in Shares. The market was quiet, but steady. A great deal of satisfaction has been expressed in commer cial circles to-day at the promulgation of an order in council, that sugars the produce of Siam are to be admitted here at the reduced duty of 28s. and 235. 4d. respectively . , as not being the produce of slave labour. As a matter of course, re fined qualities are excluded from this benefit. It is a curious fact that the produce of China, of Java, and Manilla is admitted upon the low terms, when they take so little of our manufac tures, while Brazil is a most excellent customer. It is, how ever, extremely probable that ere long we shall have sugars exported from Rio de Janeiro, where they have not been produced by slave labour. Some little interest is attached to the result of the sale of 124 bags of Siam sugar, which is an - flounced for this day. It is expected that advanced prices will be realised. There are no late arrivals in the City announced to-day from the British colonies. A merchant in the City, Mr. J. H. Elliot. has furnished us, in common with other of our Contemporaries, with a pub lication of his entitled, " Credit, the Life of Commerce," being a defence of the British merchant against the unjust and demoralising tendency of the recent alteration, and an out line of the laws of debtor and creditor, and remedial mea sures. We may take an early opportunity of quoting from this interesting pamphlet. There has been an improvement in the English Funds to day. Consols have . advan ce d to 99 1 4 N. and for money to 99 1 4.

SHOCKING CRUELTY.—A Spanish journal states that a short time back, as a dealer in leeches was travelling on a by-road in Estremadura, he was stopped by a band of thieves, who demanded his money. He assured them that he had none about him, having expended all that he had brought with him. Having ascertained that he had told the truth, they in revenge for their disappointment thrust his head into the sack _in which h arried his leeches, and bound it tightly round his neck Sunie country people passing by not long afterwards found him dead, he having been bled to death by his own stock.— Cr a. the fortresses of Ulm and Rustadt. Prince METTER NICH had passed through Frankfurt on the previous day on his way to Hamburgh. Accounts have been received from Switzerland to the 7th. On that day the Diet, sitting at Zurich, was en gaged in the discussion of the restoration of the secu larised convents of Argau. Only seven cantons voted for their restoration. The State Gazette of Lucerne publishes the official report of the circumstances connected with M. LED's death. It appears from it that the deceased had been several times threaten( d in anon3mous letters with death ; that for the last four years he kept no fire-arms in the house ; that on the night of the murder the door of the house had been open, and that close to the house the footsteps of two persons running away had been discovered. In addition to the presumption of murder arising from the above circumstances, the medical report proves that suicide was absolutely impossible. Madrid papers to the sth have arrived. The Gazate publishes a royal decree apportioning the land-tax of 300,000,000 rials among the forty-nine provinces of the kingdom, and declaring that the first half-year must be paid imitediately. This measure continues to excite great dissatisfaction throughout the kingdom. General ALCALA and Brigadier MONTERO had been ordered to quit Madrid in twenty-four hours. Every thing was quiet on the Bth at Barcelona, and throughout Catalonia. The QUEEN is to leave St. Sebastian on the 16th for the baths of Santa Aguada. The Infanta Luisa, however, will remain at St. Sebastian, for the purpose of sea bathing. The QUEEN is expected at Pampeluna on the 26th. The Royal Family is not ex. pected to return to Madrid until the end of September. MADRID BOURSE, Auc. s.—Spanish Securities have risen considerably to-day, although the amount of busi ness transacted was notlargc. The improved condition of the market arises from the report that Senor MON had overcome the difficulties attendant on the regulation of the debt, and that his financial plan was on the eve of being published. In the Three per Cents., in which 21,320,000 reals were negotiated at 304 for cash, higher ; and at 311 at GO days, s higher. One bargain was effected in the Five per Cents. fur 2,000,000 rials at 221 for 60 days. Exchanges on London at 90 days, 31 to We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Debats contains a long letter from Zurich on the affairs of Switzerland. It appears from the statements in this letter, that a National Guard is organising throughout Switzerland among the Radical party, the object of which is to expel the Jesuits ; and according to some reports to destroy the federation, and form Switzerland into one individual republic. A German refugee, named SNELL, is the chief of the association, which has established its head-quarters at Berne. It is imagined that they will effect a revolution in Berne, similar to the one recently effected in Vaud, and that then they will declare war against Lucerne. The popu lation in the small mountain cantons are arming to de fend the Jesuits, so that a collision seems inevitable. It is believed the struggle will take place in September. The Constitutionnel states that the interview between the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS (who are still at Bordeaux) and the Queen of SPAIN will take place at Pampeluna, towards the end of the month. The Duke D'AUMALE left Bordeaux on Friday for Belfort. The French Three per Cents. were at 84f. 35c , and the Five per Cents. at 1221.

We have just seen a gentleman who came as a passenger on board the St. Vincent, from Trinidad to Bristol, which vessel, as was stated in The Sun of yesterday, was boaided on her homeward voyage by a schooner supposed to be piratical. He says, that during the whole of the previous day the St. Vincent had been followed by a suspicious-looking brig. When morning came the schooner was discovered in com pany with the brig. They parted, and the schooner bore down on the St. Vincent. There were only two men on the deck of the schooner, one at the wheel and another with a telescope, but below she was crowded with men. She hoisted Spanish colours, as did the brig, which also bore down on the St. Vincent. The brig having spoken an American man-of-war which was in sight, the schooner left the St. Vincent, joined the brig, and they sailed off in com pany, the brig leading the way. The schooner was a low Baltimore clipper, and had a piece of ordnance on her deck. She gave the latitude and longitude, chalked on a board, but she was at least 20 degrees oat in her reckoning, so that, in all probability, she had no chronometer on board. SUNDERLAND ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) SUNDERLAND, AUGUST 11.—It is not easy to see where the numbers arc to come from which can beat the Liberals here. The numbers polled at Lord Howick's election, which were the greatest ever known, w ere 706 for Lord Howick, 462 for his Tcry competitor ; total polled, 1,168, majority for Lord Howick, 244. An enor mous margin this on which to draw. Besides this, there are now 148 fewer names on the register than then, against which must be set off about half that number of removals, which were prevented from voting at Lord Ilowick's election by the then state of the law. So that on the whole, 1,100 may be stated as very near the probable number to poll ; and the public voice confirms the expectation. It is not likely that the ex citement should be greater than at Lord Howick's election, or that this should be the occasion on which the numbers polled should be greater than on any of the previous elections which have occurrei ; if betting men had it in hand, nobody would bet upon it. But the Liberals have promises enough to carry the election, under such circumstances, by an overpowering majority ; and Sunderland Liberal premises are not bad, as was proved by Lord Howick having had more votes than promises. Under these facts, nothing but experiment can prove that the Liberals can fail. Messrs. Cobden and John Bright arrived at four n.m. on Monday. COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tins DAY ) —lt was generally understood, from the announcements that have taken place, that the Lord Chancellor would have sat in his private room at Westminster to-day, for the purpose of giv►ng judg ment in several cases that have been heard before him; how ever, up to the hour of our going to press no sitting had taken place; and it is now supposed that tis Lordship will sit to morrow, not only to give judgments, but to dispose of any matters that may press. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, who is the vacation judge to the end of the present month, will sit in his court in Lincoln's Inn on Friday. ST EAM..BOAT ACCIDENT.— (From a Correspondent.) —We regret exceedingly to state that a most serious accident, attended with fatal results, occurred on the Thames last even ing. From all we could learn in a hasty gathering of facts, it appears that the celebrated fast steamer " Father Thames," on her voyage from Gravesend, wade the pool about ten o'clock, with a great number of passengers, where, from some unavoid able cause, she came full on to a heavy barge, and with such force as to, instantly carry away her paddle-box and side cabin, in which were several persons. It may be readily imagined that consternation and confusion arose immediately, the vessel being thrown en one side, and several persons in the water, Five persons, we are told, were rescued from a watery grave. but whether any, or several, are lost, we have yet to learn. From the disabled state of the vessel, the passengers had to be landed at \Yapping from small boats.

MARKET NEW,S.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXC ITANGE -WEDNESDAY. The supply of English Wheat, which principally consisted of that left over from Monday's market, being extensive for the time f year, and the attendance of millers compara tively small, the demand for that description of grain was in a very sluggish state; still, however, the factors were again tolerably firm in their holdings, arising principally front the prevailing damp weather, and the slow progress making in the harvest fields. The finest parcels of both Red and White sold at prices quite equal to those paid on Monday ; but in other kinds exceedingly little was doing, and a clearance was not effected. The show of free Foreign Wheat was not to say large, yet very little business was doing in it, at unaltered currencies. Ci.rn under lock commanded very little atten tion, and prices in many instances ruled almost nominal. The supply of Barley was extremely small. Grinding par cels moved off steadily at full prices. Malting and Distilling qualities were heavy. The best White Malt found b'iyors at extreme rates. The secondary kinds were a m er e drug. Owing to the moderate nature of the Oat arrivals the sale, ruled firm, and prices were well supported. Beans, Peas, and Flour as last quoted. English Irish —— Foreign . ARRIVALS. Wheat.

Mary lebone went in again at ten minutes to six upon the runs, and up to seven o'clock, about half an hour before the stumps were struck for the day, the game stood as follows: Sussex.—First innings, 265. Marylebone.—First innings, 138; second innings, 30. SMALL DEBTS ACT.—Yesterday the Act for the better securing the payment of small debts was issued. In every stage of the measure alterations have been made, and it was only on receiving the royal assent on S a t ur d ay t h at i t was known that further carr ectrons could not be made until Parliament again assembled. There are twenty-five sections and four schedules in the Act. Singularly enough, it dates its operation just twelvemonths from the passing of the Act which liberated some hundreds of poor persons who were in custody for sums not exceeding 2(1., and prevented the incar ceration of some hundreds of others for like sums. It will be well if a reaction does not take place, and creditors proceed to extremes, under the provisions of the new law. Debtors may now be induced to " make their peace" with their creditors without putting the machinery of the new law into operation. The general effect of the law appears to be, that a creditor who has obtained a judgment, or any order for payment, from a competent court, for any sum not exceeding 201., can expe ditiously and cheaply summon a debtor to the Court of Bankruptcy, or Court of Requests, provided the latter is presided over by a barrister, special pleader, or an attorney who has been ten years in 'practice. Th e d e b tor may be examined as well a s th e creditor, and, should the debtor fail to attend, or make a satisfactory answer, or shall appear to have been guilty of any fraud, either in the removal of his goods, or the contraction of the debt, he may be sent to prison for a period not exceeding forty days, which imprison ment is not to extinguish the debt, nor is it to be got rid of by an order tram the Court of Bankruptcy or Insolvent Debtors, but the judge who sent him to prison may order the discharge on satisfaction being made by the payment of the debt and costs. One of the last amended amendments States that the actual necessaries of the debtor shall not be seized in execution, and allows him goods, tools, &c., to the value of 51. The jurisdictions of the present inferior courts may, by an Order in Council, be extended to 20/., and all such applica tions must be advertised in the London Gazette one month before they are considered. Witnesses not attending when summoned may be fined 51., to be enforced in like manner as payment of any debt recovered by a judgment. There is power given to execute warrants against the person or goods of a debtor against whom an order has been obtained, notwith standing the removal from the jurisdiction of the court in which such order was obtained. The Act is only to apply to England. The forms to be used and the fees to be charged are set forth in the schedules of the Act. Creditors and debtors may be their own lawyers in the matter. Provided the small debts' courts are extended and presided over as mentioned, very few actions will be brought in the superior courts for amounts under 20/. The Act took effect from Sa turday last. PRICE or GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris is ei per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. 10/d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 3Si; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 524, it follows that gold is 0.55 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9i; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex change at New York on London is 1091 per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it foliates that the exchange is 0.18 per cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. FATAL CART ACCIDENT.—On Monday Mr. Joseph Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospital on the body of H. Stevens, aged fourteen ) ears. On Saturday last the de embed accompanied a cart, belonging to Here's Dundee wharf, Wapping, to Leadenhall -street. and, whilst waiting there the arrival of another vehicle, he seated himself upon the shafts, bolding the reins, when the horse moved on, and he fell, and the wheel passed over his body. He was immediately extricated by some by-standers, and conveyed to the hospital—Verdict, " Accidental death. Grisi, Mario, F. Lablache, Benedict, and John Parry, commence their first tour performances at Mr. Machin's grand concert at Birmingham, on the 21st of this month. SECoNDANIES.—(THIS DAY.) k &Tor- Mr. Seco::uar j Jades.) FRENCH V. FULLER The plaintiff in this action is a country dealer, residing at Galleywood Common, Essex, and the defendant is a farmer at Tillit , gham, near Maldim, in the same county. The demand was fir 31. 10s., the balance of a bargain on the sale of a horse. Mr. Crouch appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Chadwick Jones for the defendant. On the part of the plaintiff it was deposed that in August last defendant asked plaintiff if he had a horse to sell, and after a good deal of haggling, it was a4reed that defendant should have a grey horse on payment of 21. 10s. down, another 21. 10s. when plaintiff came round his next journey, and 105. more if the horse worked well through the seed time. In cross-examination it was elicited that the plaintiff tra velled in a van, in which he lived, the horses were termed off at night, and got into any fields where the gates were open. —( Laughter.) They got into defendant's fields the night be fore the sale, and defendant took some goods for it. Could not say whether the horse was of age or not.--(Laughter.) Another witness deposed to a subsequent conversation, wherein the defendant distinctly promised to pay 31. more on plaintiff's next journey. A third witness proved that the horse worked for eight or nine weeks, and ploughed an acre a day. After seed-time the horse was starved to death from neglect. Sergeant JONES addressed the jury, and said that in all cases where a horse was concerned, there was a great deal of contra dictory evidence. He, however, hoped to convince the jury that there was no absolute bargain, but that it was to depend on whether the horse turned out well. Witnesses were then called, who swore that the 21. 10s. was to be returned, and the horse given back if not ap proved of, but that plaintiff refused to take it back. They swore that the horse was not worth 55., that it had no strength, even to eat, that it was twenty years of age, that it had no teeth, that it could not draw the plough, but that it required three others to drag it along. Its weakness was declared to have been so much that it could not stand up even to be killed. Mr. CROUCH, in reply, contended the horse had worked well for nearly nine mouths, and was then left to die front sheer neglect. The SECONDARY said the value of the horse was not the point; the first question was, whether there had been a con ditional bargain, next, whether, if so, the defendant was not bound to have returned the horse at an early opportunity, if he disapproved of it.. They had heard something about a tres pass by the horse, but that did not bear upon the question. Mr. PAYNE ( the Coroner), who held Sergeant Jones's brief, submitted that the notice as to the hone was sufficient. The SECONDARY said the proper course would, on the horse being rejected, to have given notice that he would be held liable for the keep. Verdict for plaintiff, damages 21. 10s. MARLBOROUGH STREET. (THIS DAY.) • Michael Murpby, Thomas Garricwars, John Mullins, and Beifjardn Wildey, were charg.'d with picking pockets in Lei cester-square. A person named Moore had seen them pick the pocket of a woman, and had given an alarm, when they ran off. He saw them again in the evening, and pointed them out to a policeman, who took them into custody. The police said the prisoners had been known as thieves for many 3 ears, and had been convicted of various robberies. Wildey was concerned in an extensive burglary, committed about twelve months ago, but escaped with only three months' imprisonment. _ _ _ Air. MALTBY ordered the prisoners to be remanded until Friday next, when more conclusive evidence is expected to be brought against them. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A special as well as a general meeting of the share holders in this Company, met this day, at one o'clock, in the London Tavern ; W. Shadbolt, Esq., Chairman, presided. The Secretary, Mr. ADRON, read the advertisement calling the meeting, as also the Report, of which the following is an abstract : The Act of Parliament authoriFing the Company to let their railway on lease to the South Eastern (Dover) Railway Com pany. received the royal assent on the 21st day of the last month ; by it the ComFany is empowered to reduce the number of Directors from nine to five, two of whom are to go out of office annually, but to be eligible for re-election; your Direc tors would accordingly suggest that their number should, from this day, be reduced to five, arid their remuneration to 2501. per annum, from the Ist of July last. Your Directors have given notice to pay off, on the 31st day of January, 1846, the mortgage or bond securities, unless the holders thereof shall, on or before the Ist day of October next, signify, in writing, their consent to accept interest thereon after the rate of 41., instead of 51., per centum per annum, heretofore payable. Owing to unavoidable delay, the sale to the South-Eastern (Dover) Railway company of the land not included in the lease has not been completed, nor the purchase-money (18,0001.) received ; but it bears interest at 4/. per centum per annum, from the 25th day of March last ; the loan from the bankers of 15,000/., bearing a similar rate of interest, has, in censequence, not been liquidated. It will be seen by the statement of accounts that the estimates of your Directors of the value of the assets and liabilities of the Company, have been fully borne out by the results; and, after paying interest on the mortgage debt, and having satisfied, or provided for, every demand on the Company, your Directors feel justified in recommending that a dividend be declared of four shillings and sixpence per share on the unpriviledged shares, to be payable on the Ist day of September next. The CHAIRMAN said it was iris pleasing duty to move that it be adapted, and, that done, he should be happy to offer an explanation on any matter desired by the shareholders. Mr. Ihrcnitcos would gladly second the adoption of the report, because it was so touch better than he ex pected. He should long ago hay:: sold their balance for 500 L, and now he found it realise nearer 5,0001. The report was then adopted by the meeting. Mr. IliTcimics called attention to the case of Thomas Conden, who had, in December, 1842, been injured by a concussion, and had, as appeared by his petition, been at intervals under medical treatment from that time. As he (Mr. Hitchings) had been, however, informed that the petitioner was not so ircapacitated, but that he was able to earn 20s. a week, he proposed that no present sum should be voted to him, but that he should be sup posed to have a claim on the Company. The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN said such a course would be very inconvenient, and as there was an item already in cluded in their balance sheet of gratuities to old servants, he should propose as an amendment that 101. be added for Conden, and his claim discharged. Mr. M'LENNAN said that one of the servants of the Company, who was now cut of a situLtion, had been com pletely- os erlooked, and lie should, therefore, suggest that his name be also add , d. He referred to Mr. Hoare, who had a wife and eight children, and he thought that 25/. would not be too much under the circumstances. A PROPRIETOR thought they ought to he just before they were generous, and, considering the state of that Co:npany, he thought the Shareholders should be con. sidered before the servants who had all along been re ceiving their salaries fur the labour performed by them. Mr. Alderman lltmEtEs said it was not an uncustomary thing to bequeath a something to old servants, and ai the Company might now be considered in an expiring state, he could conceive no time better fitted than the present for that object. The loss to each Shareholder would be a mere fractional part of his dividend. Mr. NPLENNAN then moved that 61. be awarded to each of the five money-takers, 251. to Mr. Hoare, and 10/. to Mr. Conden. The resolution was seconded and carried. Mr. CORNEY had but one word to say, in reference to the constant remarks that were made about the wretched state of this Company. He would but draw attention to the fact, that when they received the ultimate 45,000/. from the Dover Company, they would then be receiving 4 rer cent, on their total expenditure of a million. Ile thought, therefore, things were not so bad as represented. Mr. HiTcuriacs said that had no reference to the old shares. On the motion of Mr. HITCIIINGS, a vote of thanks was awarded to the Chairman and Directors, for their energetic measures under very difficult and embarrassing circumstances. The meeting then broke up. CIIICHESTER ELECTION.—Lord Arthur Lennox was on Tuesday re-elected for Chichester without opposition. IRON, HARDWARE, AND METAL TRADES' PENS - lON SoClETY.—Yesterday, the annual general meeting of the donors and subscribers to this institution, established for the purpose of granting permanent pensions to decayed members and their widows, was held at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street ; W. B. Simpson, Esq., Treasurer, in the chair. The report, read by Mr. Taylor, the Honorary Secretary, stated that since the last annual meeting. notwithstanding the unprecedented depression which had so universally existed in the trades during that period, several new members had joined the institution, and that it had progressed steadily and satis factorily. The donations and subscriptions during the past year (including a munificent benefaction from It. W. Ken nard, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents, of 100 guineas) amounted to 641/. 25., which sum, with the balance in the hands of the bankers on the I lth of March, 1844, and dividends on stock, showed a total receipt of 1,457/. 17s. 1(1. The sum of 1,0001 had been invented in trustees' names in the purchase of stock its the Three per Cent. Consols, leaving a balance in the hands of the bankers of 387/. 11s. 2(1. Report adopted. THE NEW COMMANDER FOR THE CAPE.—Rear- Admiral of the White James Richard Dacres has been ap pointed by the Earl of Haddington to succeed Rear-Admiral of the Blue the Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., as Commander in-Chief of the naval forces on the Cape of Good Hope station. Rear-Admiral Dacres entered the navy in )796 ; was made a lieutenant, 1804 ; commander, 1805; captain, 1806 ; and ob tained his present rank in 1814, In 1807 he commanded the Bacchante, and in conjunction with the Mediator performed a gallant exploit by taking the fort of Sainana and several priva- ' teers and other vessels protected by it. He afterwards com manded the Guerriere, and in her, in 1812, made a very gal lant defence against the much superior force of the American frigate Constitution, previous to being captured by her. In 1815 Captain Dacr e s was a pp o i n t e d t o the Tiber, 38, at Wool wich, and in 1833 was appointed to the Edinburgh, and com manded that ship on the Mediterranean station. Rear-Admiral Percy was appointed to his command in 1841; which station then included the Cape of Good Hope and the Brazils. The latter, however, is now made a separate command, to which Bear-Admiral Inglefield, C. 8., was appointed in March last, and it is now known as the south-east coast of America station ; the command of Admiral Dacres, therefore, is confined to the Cal.e of Good Hope sta. , ion. It is most likely that the Alfred, 50, lately paid off at Portsmouth by Cominotlore Purvis, from the Brazils, cu account of being such a good serviceable ship and in excellent condition, will be selected for the flag of Ad miral Dacres, to relieve the Winchester, 50, Captain Eden, now bearing the flag of Admiral Percy. PALACES AND I'OOR'S EATE.—The question whether the inhabitants of royal palaces are liable to be rated for the support of the poor is again to be contested. At the petty sessions at Staines, yesterday, application was made on behalf of the parish of Hampton for distress warrants against the in habitants of Hampton Court Palace for enforcing the payment of poor's rate. In 1839 the matter was tried and avraw'amus was obtained from the Judges of the Queen's Bench, ordering the magittrates to issue warrants for the rate, which after a long delay, had been paid. Since then, however, no other rate hail been paid by the occupants - of the palace, as the question, it was alleged, had not been properly tried, and there are arrears due to the amount of 3,000/. It is now intended to raise the question again, but the granting of the warrants was postponed for further consideration. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SUN - STREET.—This morn ing, about half-past three o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out in the workshops of Mr. Tucker, plane-maker, Sun-street, Bi shops;:ate. Ihe ne ghbours and police soon assembled, and with great trouble rescued the family. None of Mr. Tucker's properly could be saved.
