QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Lord CAMPBELL and a Common Jury.) THE QUEEN V. PHILLIPS AND OTHERS. This was an indictment brought against the defend ants for keeping a house of ill-fame at No. 1, Chappel street, Oxford-street. Mr. Parry was counsel for the prosecution, and the defendants were represented by Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Huddlestme. Mr. PARRY stated the case to the jury, and in support of it, called a Mr. Patmore, No. 2, Chappel-street, who stated that he resides next door to the home of the defendant Phil lips, and in consequence of what he saw going on there, and the represeotitions of his neighbours, he had no doubt whatever that the house in question was used as a common brothel. On the 4th January last witness placed a lantern in his window with the words " Beware of a bad house next dJor" written on it. Upon doing so, the defendant'Phillips came out of his house and be gan to knock down the lantern with a poker. His son followed and joined his father in assaulting witness. The female defendants, Warwick and Hutchinson, then came • outeinti gave Phillips a couple of candlesticks with which ta strike witness, as he supposed. A policeman coming up, however, the disturbance was put an end • te. Tho defendants were afterwards taken before the magiittitttes fJr the assault and fined. Byy Mt. BALLANTINE—Witness rented the house from FitiMPs blit did not owe Aim any rent when he put up the lantern.. Phillips ' however, had summoned him to tba countf court, but had had the expenses to pay. By Mr. lIUDDLESTpNE—Witness had once served in the police. but .had been discharged for walking on his bed in his sleep.—(Laughter.) There were other witnesses called on behalf of the prosecution, who proved that the house was notoriously a house of ill-fame. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the de fendants, and Lord CAMPBELL having summed up the case, The jury gave a verdict of Guilty, as against Phillips' fur keeping a house of ill-f Ame, and acquitted the .women Watwick and Hutchinson. Mr. PARRY immediately thereupon prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendant Phillips, and Lord CAMPBELL sentenced him to be imprisoned in the Middlesex House of Correction fur one month, and lb be kept in hard labour. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied during the entire morning in trying the part-heard case of Linthay v. Smith, which was an *ectit.n t , ) recover damages for tno running down of a' ichooner named the Cenova, by the Emily brig, wbilit tfailivg near Ysrmouti Sands. The trial of the Case, the particulars of which were devoid of interest, . 1, 41 likely t occupy the greater portion of the day. • 110 W-STItEET.-(THIS DAY.) Three respedtably • attired young lemales were charged with an-assault . Mr. John Ilenzessy, the complainant, who stated that he' lived Upon an annui;y, said that yesterday afternoon , be returned home w the Crown Coffee-house, St. James's .strept., whene he found the three prisoners, two of whom 'Were Ow landlord's daughters, and the other their cousin. No sooner had be entered than one of them threw a glass of water in:his face, saying, "Take that, yon lying .brute." The other two then closed upon him, and after pulling his hair and scratching his face, one of them Feized his right hand and dashed it through a pane Gf gliss. His hand was so severely lacerated that he vias afraid the injuries would disable him for some time, and 'in order, therefore, to protect himself from further violence, he gave the prisoners into custody. The defence of the prisoners was that the com ' plisinkat had traduced their characters and robbed them of their fair names. He repeated his vile charge 7faterday in the presence of several young men who Uppened to be on a visit to them, and while smarting Under the sting of the slander, one of them certainly did throw the water in his face, but as for the other part Of the assault it was a pure fabrication. The fact was he wanted to fight one of the young men and in the scuffle that ensued he put his fist through the window. Several respectable witnesses confirmed this statement, and Mr. HALL dismissed the case, telling the complainant that he had no right to impute vice and immorality to 'Clung women whose virtue had never before been ques tioned. There could be no doubt after the evidence that he brought the assault upon himself. XARLB RCY-STREET.-(T HIS DAY.) A RUFFIAN.— George Jackson, a butcher, residing at No. 9, Market-street, Newport-market, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with violently assaulting his wife, Susan Jackson. . Police-constable 182 C deposed that on Saturday Light, about 12 o'clock, he was callei to No. 9, Market- Street, where he found prisoner's wife lying on the landing of the stairs in a state of insensibility, with blood flowing from her month. Witness procured some Water and rprinkled it over her face, and in the course of a few minutes bhe was sofa recovered as to tell him that the Prisoner had inflicted the injuries shewas suffering from. As the woman gradually got worse, witness procured aisistance and conveyed her to Charing-cross Hospital. Witness produced the surgeon's certificate, which set forth that the injured woman nes not in a fit state to attend at this court this morning. The prisoner, in defence, said his wife was a most in corrigible drunkard, and was in the constant habit of Pledging both his and his children's things and spending The money in drink. He caught her in a state of intoxi- Cation on Saturday, and certainly did comet her. Vt. BINGLIAN remanded the prisoner till Wednesday kit. • HEE:, MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The attractions of La Tempesta continue to in crease, and on Saturday, on the occasion of its seventh r epresentation, the theatre was crowded to suffocation ! 1 1 every part, the attraction of Halevy's music, of Lab ische's glorious acting, of Sontag's equisite and perfect l 'ocalisation, and the poetry of Carlotta Grisi's dancing 12 :"ing so great as to induce all lovers of the lyrical drama to brave the heat of the weather. Mr. Lumley, / 1 % 1 :e must do him the justice to say, has done all that lies in 13 Power to remedy the inconvenience of the heat, acid his efforts have been successful. Her Majesty's At'stre is certainly the be , t ventilated in London, vhilst the exquisite fittings up of the salle give it a d elightfully cool appearance to the eye. The per formance of the opera on Saturday night went off /float brilliantly ; indeed the furore which La Tern• 148 N excites increases in intensity on every repre sentation.

TRIAL OF SPEED BETWEEN HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS PHAETON, ARETHUSA, AND THE REST OF THE LISBON SQUADRON. Copy of a letter from a gentleman on board the Phaeton : " Lisbon, J0ne . 1 . 5, 1850. " We have had three trials on a wind with the Are thusa, and beat her each time very much; the other ships we beat more than on our first cruize, the Thetis being the last ship of the sailing frigates.

SlR,—The redoubtable son of Bay Middleton and Barbelle, the far-famed Flying Dutchman. by his ridi culously easy victory over Jericho, Canezou, Little Jack, and Peep-o'day Boy for the Emperor's Plate at Ascot, has proved himself to be the best horse of the present century, and of all time fur what I know; he has eclipsed Flying Childers, and the wonder of the last century, Mr. Wildman's celebrated son of Marsk, Eclipse. This is his thirteenth triumph, and to say he never will be beaten is more than frail humanity can venture on, but I hold it very improbable, and if he is, the horse that beats him —on his tuerits, well and fit—will never find his equal in the equine world. Thistledown, for the Railway Plate, at sst 21b, made a nice bed of thistles for those who ventured to lay against him, having the fact staring them in theirace, that he was within 51bs of the Newmarket Stakes viiaaer, Cari boo; - and yet they made Docility, at Est 61b, thV favourite, who, by last week's running for the Surrey and Middle sex Stakes at Hampton, was proved to be inferior to Little Jack. 3 yrs, 7st, giving only 81bs for the year ! Shades of Frampton, Mellish, and Bentinck, , look down on the judgement of your degenerate successors; Lord Caledon's Wild Rose, 4 yra, 7st 31b, won the Birmingham Stakes from St. George, 3 yrs, 63t 41b, so very easily, that it would be advisable not to lose sight, in small scrambles, of this son of Emilius or Bramble. The Newcastle Meeting commences to day, and boasts an average amount of sport, tut for the most part of no particular account. The attraction of the week, the Northumberland Plate, will in all probability bring to the post the fol lowing:—Elthiron, 4 yrs, 7st 71b, Glance, 4 yrs, 7st 71b, Miss Ann, 4 yrs, 7st 51b, Snowstorm, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, Due de Brabant, 4 yrs, Est 81b, Jenny Lind, 4 yrs, 6st 41b, Reality, 5 yrs, 6st 21b, Lord Saltoun, aged, sst 10Ib, Gulliver, 4 yrs, sst 81b, Knight of Gwynne, 3 yrs, sst 21b, First Rate, 3 yrs , sst, and lanthe, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b. Canezou, Melton, Roland, Deicoon, Impertinence horses, and Mark Tapley, might run, but with the ex ception of Deicoon, without any chance of altering the result. The top-weights will, I fancy, be represented by " the crack," and the light-weights by the Knight of Gwynne; and, in the absence of I)eicoon and Canezou, I should place the " first flight" thus:— THE KNIGHT OF GWYNNE, or } ELTHIRON 1 ••• ••• ••• ••• MISS ANN ... 3 SNOWSTORM Reality, Glance, and First-Rate well up.

A match, at which, owing to the strict privacy ob served, there but few present save those intimately con nected with the parties engaged, came off last Thursday evening. The competitors were scholars at present at Westminster against those who had belonged to that in stitution, and the course chosen was from Chiswick Eyot to Putney-bridge. The following are the names of the gentlemen in the rival boats; the race was smartly contested throughout:— PAST WESTMINSTERS.—Messrs. Heneage, A. Milman, J. Rich, C. Stewart, W. H. Millman, A. Hanbury, A. Barker, W. G. Rich (stroke), and E. Balgone (cox swain). PRESENT WE S TMINSTERS.—C. Upperton, G. F. Wil liams, A. Millman, F. Steward, W. B. Emerson, J. Wright, W. IL Horne, W. Barnes (stroke), and F. Gr , en (coxswain). The younger party went away with the lead, and by their fine plucky rowing retained it well for the first mile, when their opponents came alongside and gradually began to take the 'cad. The present Westminster party, however, were so thoroughly game, that although over matched, as may be expected, in weight and years, they kept so close to their opponents, that the latter, at the Crab Tree, had little more than halt a length a head. Victory was, however, ultimately, the past Westminsters, es they continued to gain slightly, and eventually beat their younger friends by a couple of lengths. TAUXHALL-GARDENS.—On Saturday these grounds were opened at the early hour of five o'clock, in order to suit the convenience of the Nepaulese Ambassador and his countrymen, who had expressed a desire to witness the ascent of a balloon, and in a short time an immense concourse of visitors was attracted to the firework ground and the ad jacent spots. The inflation of the balloon was completed before six o'clock, and Mr. Green and Mr. 141,11, well known for his encouragement of aerostation, were in attendance. At half-past six o'clock the arrival of the Nepaulese was an nounced by the discharge of ordnance. They were met by Mr. Wardell, the proprietor, and Mr. Barnett, the master of the ceremonies, who immediately introduced the aeronauts to them. Some disappointment was experienced at the ab sence of his Excellency himself, who, it was stated, was unable to be present on account of indisposition. The Ne paulese pre-ent were Colonel liliershum Stier Jung Bahadoor and his attendants, Hazy Dhelising and Suit Saulsing. Having examined the balloon with great attention, they took the seats prepared for them, and shortly after seven o'clock the ascent took place. 'hie clearness of the sky enabled the spectators to trace its course for a considerable time, and the height reached was understood to exceed anything yet ac complished in aerial navigation. At ten o'clock the gardens were completely crowded with company, and for many years have not exhibited so gay a scene.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the 19th, the House was principally occupied with a discussion on the second reading of the School Establishments (Seotland) Bill. The question seemed to turn mainly on the merits of Scottish schoolmasters. The second reading was finally negatived by 100 votes against 94. On Thursday Mr. Roebuck asked his promised question, whether the Government would adopt any especial course of conduct in consequence of a late Resolution in the Lords. Lord John RUssell rose to reply, but had not proceeded far, when a Member on the other side of the House rose to order, and de - manded compliance with the rule of the House which requires the answers to questions to be limited to the briefest terms. Upon which the Hon. Member himself proceeded to expatiate, till stopped by the calls of " Order" from various parts of the House, resisting the palpable non-compliance with his own proposed rule. It was to be regretted the rebuke was not put in the more substantial form of a single Member rising to make the call ; and it was plain on the whole, that the interrupter, in the lawyers' phrase, had taken nothing by his motion. After the interruption, the Prime Minister went on again, and answered with the spring which in him when (as was said of the King of Prnssii) he is bien comprirni, that the Government ihtended to adopt none. And he supported the none by two pre cedents ; one in 1710, when the Lords voted that no , peace ought to be made which did not include certain conditions, and the Ministry took no notice of it, but made the peace'; and the other in 1833, when the Lords on the motion of the Duke of Wellington passed a vote censuring the conduct of the Govern ment towards the King of Holland, in the support given to the establishment of Belgian, independence. He added some remarks (which perhaps might have been spared on the groisnd'of the general impolicy of poking a Wounded lion Instead of giving. him time to die), taunting the Opposition with the certainty that they would have made the same motion in the Com mons if they .had seen any prospect of success. The same Member as before, followed with some reply. On which the Member for Sheffield rose, and said he would bring the question to an issue, by a Resolution he would propose. Till this, th ere was nothing by which a hearer could determine - to which side or what that Hon. Member 'intended to be friendly; but the Resolution, if carried, was evidently in favour of the Government. The Member for Sheffield's motion was finally fixed for the 24th. Two Amendments on the Resolution were subse-. quently announced. The struggle of the Protec tionists (for hint ills lachrynzce, there lies the hitch) will be to work upon the weakness of the " soft roe" as it was called in the House, who are willing to bite at any hook put forward to them by their enemies. The report of the House is, that some of the Free Traders are to nibble. They are to be struck with the diffi culty of approving all and every thing which has been done for the last dozen years, and thereupon they are to vote with the Protectionists, under that emi nently serviceable plea, of protesting against being supposed desirous to help them. Oa Friday the night was occupied by a debate on the system of National Education in Ireland, intro duced as a whet to the Committee of Supply. It brought out some brilliant speeches from the Liberal side, followed by a majority of 225 against 142 in their favour. It was whispered that this was not so good a majority as last year. So that the ills of Ireland are not decreasing. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, N OLD REFORMER. Loudon, June 24, 1850. THE WRECK OF THE ORION. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGHT.--The arrival of the Admiral this evening from the wreck of the Orion has placed us in possession of the latest particulars. The Admiral left the wreck at 8 30 this morning. Nothing remained visible excepting two of the masts, the funnel having bees washed away on Saturday night. The weather being boisterous on Saturday, the divers were unable to work. Some differences had also occurred with them, by which delay had been caused. The body of Mr. Thomas Murrich had been re covered. Ile had on his person a gold watch and 12 sovereigns. Mr. Marshall's writing-45k, containing valuable papers, had been recovered. Captain Henderson remained on the spot. The second-mate was under arrest. IMPORTANT ARREST.—Among the passengers that arrived at this port on Saturday, 31st of May, in the packet ship Yorkshire, were two individuals who were wavy poorly clad, but had in their possession some 25,000/., whoa was snugly placed in a carpet-bag. After the arrival of the vessel they deposited the large amount of money with Messrs. Taber and Bagley, for safe keeping; and then seemed perfectly at ease and secure until the steam-ship Asia arrived, which brought their full description, and the news that they were formerly clerks in the Bank of Ireland, Cork, and had absconded with a heavy amount of specie and bank notes of various denominations. They were imme diately taken prisoners.—New York Sun. UNIVERSITT INTELLIGENCE. -- The Rev. Robert Hawkins, Pd.

LITERATURE. !ALISON'S HISTORY OF EUROPE. Plus traced Edition. Vol. XI V. This fourteenth volume brings to a conclusion the present magnificent edition of Mr. Alison's historical masterpiece. Embellished with five and twenty ex quisite engravings —portraits of those illustrious or infamous personages whose vicissitudes of fortune constitute the most conspicuous features of the narra tive—the work in its novel and complete form reflects the highest possible honour upon its publishers, the Messrs. Blackwood of Edinburgh. All the arts of the typographer, the engraver, the binder, and the paper manufacturer combi ne d, cou ld scarcely furnish a more beautiful or more substantial tribute to the r genius of the European annalist. Having already from month to month, in thirteen notices, celebrated the excellence of this re• publication, we have scarcely anything left to remark upon the com pletion of the undertaking beyond a brief and simple announcement. In unison with its every other characteristic, the index appended to the last volume elicits our admiration by its extra ordinary copiousness : to it alone no less than 330 pages are dedicated, 330 pages closely printed in alphabetical sequence, and affording in their general arrangement every facility for reference. Together with this advantage, morever, we must mention with especial praise four tabular pages of singular conden sation, showing for every individual year, from 1792 to 1847, the precious metals annually raised and coined in the South American and Mexican mines the bank-notes of the Bank of England in circula tion ; the aggregate bank-notes of private bankers ; the total of notes in circulation; the coin annually issued from the Mint; the annual price of gold; the commercial paper under discount in the Bank of England; the exports official value, and exports declared value; the British and Irish produce exports; total exports official value ; total imports official value; tonnage of shipping ; revenue, crime, and po pulation of the British empire ' • e migrants from the United Kingdom ; sums levied annually for poor and county rates in England and Wales ; amount of poor rates in quarters of grain annually ; taxes imposed net amount ; taxes repealed net amount ; national debt in each year ; national debt in each year in quarters of wheat at annual prices ; revenue yearly in quarters of wheat at annual prices; money applied to the redemption of the debt; price of wheat the quer ter,—all compiled from Porter's Parliamentary Tables, Marshall's Parliamentary Tables, and other Parliamentary sources. This compact tabular ar rangement of statistics alone is of surprising value and utility—its value being enhanced by its scrupulous caution, and its utility secured and popularised by its clearness. A glance at the four pages containing these nu mer i ca l par ti cu lars will repay the attention by the amount of information afforded by it—fiscal, commercial, agricultural, mone tary, social, national, and otherwise. Then, again, the masterly atlas accompanying the present library edition of " Alison's History of Europe"—an atlas constructed and arranged, under the direction of the annalist himself, by Alexander Keith Johnston, and comprising upwards of 100 engraved plans of battles, maps of countries, or sketches of cities—imparts a marvellous lucidity to those delineations of the strug gles of warfare, in the composition of which Archi bald Alison has scarcely ever been surpassed. As a token of the care with which all this has been ef fected by the geographer, we may observe that there are two plates of the battle of Arcole, two of Marengo, two of Hohenlinden, two of Trafalgar, two of Eylau, two of Essling, two of Wagram, two of Leipsic, and two of Waterloo. One map of Europe portrays that country as it was prior to the outbreak of the great French revolution ; another represents it as it was during the height of the power of the Emperor Napoleon. All these are exquisitely coloured, each is accompanied with the necessary explanations, and in addition to a copious vocabulary of military and marine terms, the atlas is embellished with a plate explanatory of the principal military terms, these being given in the form of a frontispiece. Of the admirable engravings scattered through the thir teen preceding volumes of the letter-press—although some of the portraits appear to us unsatisfactory, such, for instance, as the most remarkable of all, the one representing Napoleon as Emperor —we can not as a whole but speak in the highest terms of ad miration. B es id es th e like nesses o f Q ueen M ar i e Antoinette and the Empress Josephi ne , the b eau tif u l and capricious wife of Louis, and the accomplished, fascinating, and benignant spouse of Napoleon, there are no less than twenty-three portraits of men re nowned either by their genius or their enormities. There are the amiable Louis, the volatile Mirabeau, the audacious Danton, the infamous Marat, and the eloquent Burke. There are the cadaverous face of Robespierre, the daring visage of Nelson, and the handsome countenance of Murat. Here is Moreau immortalised by a retreat, and there the Archduke Charles great in the midst of disaster. The aged Suwarroff and the youthful Bonaparte, the conser vative Pitt and the liberal Fox, the diplomatist Cas. tlereagh and the warrior Ney, Wellington and Met ternich, George 111. and Alexander, Blucher and Tallevrand, hint each and all in the expression of their features, the characters which moulded the age and originated those events which distinguished it from all others, either past or present, by their splen dour or their magnitude. From what we have here, as well as on previous occasions remarked, upon the appearance of this illustrated library edition of the "History olEurope," it must be manifest that Mr. Alison has found in the enterprise of his publishers, as well as in the approval of the population, the fullest appreciation of those great powers as an annalist which have enabled him to add this extraordinary work to the treasures of our historical literature. .HARRISON AINSWORTH'S ROMANCES. Vol. IX.—Old Saint Paul's, Vol. IL . _ . A ninth volume has brought the historical ro mance of " Old Saint Paul's" to a conclusion. Ori ginally published in a weekly newspaper of extensive circulation, and since then re-produced in the form suitable for the perusal of novel readers, this story of the great plague and of the great fire of London has become long since familiar to many thousands—its terrible incidents arresting, if only from the sentiment of horror,' the attention even of the most indifferent For these reasons it would be only idle to comment upon a fiction whose merits and demerits have each been so very generally recognised. It is scarcely possible to read the present narrative of those two most awful catastrophes, which visited this metropolis during the reign of the Merry Monarch, without feeling that Mr. Ainsworth has entered in imagina tion almost as veritably and vividly into the estima tion of their terrors as though he had walked through the blazing streets with John Evelyn, or had listened to the scheolboy tales of the pestilence which arrested the fanny of Daniel Defoe. Although the romance of " Old Saint Paul's" is very far indeed from being the most felicitous performance of our novelist, it has had large claim at any rate t o p o pular considerati o n, if only from the circumstance of its peculiarly national character. THE MEDICAL GUIDE; for the use of the Clergy, Beads of Families, Schools, and Junior Medical Practitioners, comprising a Complete Modern Dispensatory, ke. 4.c. By Richard fleece, M.D., late Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of London. Seventeenth Edition, with con siderable additions, revised and corrected by his son, Henry Reece, M.D., Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, ire. 4 1-c. To vindicate the propriety of publishing medical works of this nature is at the y present day super fluous. Buchan was the first physician who ven tured to strip the science of medicine of its techni calities, and, notwithstanding the vituperation of the " medicine men," his contemporaries, who denounced him as a quack, his work became a household book throughout the United Kingdom. That which Buchan did incompletely Dr. Richard Reece did in a perfect and complete manner, and his Medical Guide has, ever since 1802, the year in whi c h the first edition was published, been the text-book of domestic medicine wherever the English language is read. The Medical Guide is indebted for this supremacy in the first place to the clear, easy, and under s t an d a bl e styl e i n which it is written, and in the next place to the great pains that Dr. Reece and his son, who on his death succeeded him as editor of this work, have always taken to keep it up, an TFeau des connaissances actu elle:. The present edition, on which Dr. Richard Reece was engaged until within a few days of his death, contains bis last corrections and additions, and is enriched with results of his forty years' experi ence in most extensive pract i c e. His son, the present editor, Dr. Henry Reece, is the worthy son of a wor thy sire, and has brought the knowledge which he acquired, as dresser to Sir B. Brodie and as cli n i ca l clerk to Drs. Chambers and S eymour , . to b e a r mos t effectively on the various subjects treated of in the Medical Guide. FATAL LEAP FROM SOUTHWARK-BRlDGE.—Yes- terday (Sunday) morning, shortly after daybreak, a respect ably dressed man, between 30 and 40 years of age, paid the usual toll to the man on duty at Southwark-bridge, and then passed on to it, apparently fur the purpose Of crossing. lie, however, proceeded to the centre of the bridge, when some other persons who were also crossing saw him jump on to one et the pier heacl9, and plunge headforemost into the river. In his descent the unfortunate man's head struck violently against one of the abutments, and there is no doubt that his skull must have been completely battered in by the force of the fall. An alarm was instantly given, and flacon, one of the firtrnen, who was on duty at the A floating engine, put off in the small boat, and rendered all the assistance in his power to rescue the man, but without success, as he had disc. appeared. Who the unfortunate man was, or what induced him to destroy his life, is at present unknown. PORTS OF DOVER AND FOLYESTONE.----The Com missioners of her Majesty's Customs have issued instruc tions to the officers at these ports to examine the baggage [of passengers arriving at any hour of the night from the coutizent. LORD PALMERSTON AND HIS FRIENDS. (From the Observer.) On Saturday, at one o'clock, a deputation, consisting of nearly ninety Members of the House of Commons, waited upon Lady Palmerston, at the family mansion, in Carlton, gardens, by appointment, for the parposo of presenting to her Ladyship a full-length portrait of Vis count Palmerston, with an address expressive of the high sense they entertained of his Lordship's public and pri vate character. The fact of the intended presentation of this portrait has been repeatedly alluded to since August last, when the subject was first mooted by a party of Members of the Lower House, admirers of the political and private character of Lord Palmerston. The proposition was that a likeness of the Noble Lord should be painted by a sub scription of five guineas each from 100 Members of the House of Commons. By a subsequent arrangement this numerical restriction was extended, with a view to ac commodate about twenty additional Members, who were especially anxious to be permitted to join in the testi monial. Mr. John Partridge, whose merits as a por trait, painter have long been recognized by all patrons . of art, from Ro% alty downwards, was commissioned to exe cute the work, which has been at length completed, to the perfect satisfaction of the admirers of the illustrious original, though by no means to that of the artist, owing to the impossibility of prccuring the requisite number of sittings—this . diffieulty arising from the multiplicity of the Noble Viscount's engagements. The portrait—a fall-length—represents Lord Palmer- ston in an erect posture, attired in an evening dress, and wearing the riband of the Order of the Bath. The apartment in which he is standing, and which may be supposed to be the Cabinet Council room, contains the usual accessories pertaining to the Noble Lord's office as Foreign Secretary, conspicuous amongst which is a bust of his political idol and former colleague—Canning. Without attempting any critical minutia, the picture may be described as a characteristic and vigorous repre sentation of his Lordship, and in every way commensu rate with the celebrity of Mr. Partridge. The members forming the deputation began to assem ble shortly before one o'clock, and the intelligence of the settlement of the Greek question, just received by elec tric telegraph from Paris, naturally furnished a theme for congratulatory compliment in singular accordance with the object of their mission—a sentiment in which the noble recipient of the testimony fully participated. In right .of his seniority and rank Lord James Stuart, M.P. for the.Ayr Boroughs, was solicited to un dertake the office of spokesman on behalf of those pre sent; and the duties of that office, though devolving upon him quite unexpectedly, his Lordship discharged in a manner that obviated all cause of regret on the score of his want of premeditation. The deputation, on entering the drawing-room, ob served Lady Palmerston seated, and contemplating the picture, which occupied a position in the centre of the saloon, opposite to a portrait of her Ladyship. Colonel Lockyer Freestun, who has officiated as ho• norary secretary to the committee of Members entrusted with the duty of carrying out the intention of the subscribers, here advanced, and introduced by name se veral of the gentlemen forming the deputation. Lord Palmerston entered the saloon at this moment, and took up a position near her Ladyship. The ceremony of introduction completed, Colonel LOCESER FREESTUN, holding in his hand the address, inscribed on vellum, said,—Lady Palmerston, it is peculiarly gratifying to my feelings, to be deputed as the secretary of this numerous body of the Members of the House of Commons, to have the honour of pre senting to you, in their name, the address I hold in my hand, accompanied by the portrait of your Noble Lord. The Gallant Member then read the address, of which the following is a copy : " To the Viscountess Palmerston, " House of Commons, June 22. " Madame,—We, the undersigned Members of the House of Commons, anxious to testify our high sense of Viscount Palmerston's public and private characters, and of the inde pendent policy by which he has maintained the honours and interests of this country, request your Ladyship's acceptance of the accompanying portrait, with our warmest wishes for the welfare of hip Lordshp and yourself, " We have the honour to be, Madame, "Tour faithful and obedient servants, "Dudley Coutts Stuart "De Lacy Evans "Andrew Armstrong " John Reynolds (Lord Mayor "J.

" Robert harry Inglis. " Edward N. Buxton. " William Evans." Ot the preceding nearly the whole number were pre sent. The following suoscribers were unavoidably ab sent:—The Right Hon. Fox Manic, Sir Henry Winston Barron, Mr. Barnard, Mr. Rich, Mr. Harris, Mr. A. An derson, the Hon. C. P. Villiers, Mr. Nicholas Power, Mr. Chichester Fortescue, Mr. John Abel Smith, Vis count Anson, Mr. Bellew, Mr. Price Loveden, Mr. Cowan, Colonel Tynte, Mr. Bagshaw, the Lord Advo cate, Mr. Morris Power, Mr. Lewis Ricardo, Melier thaw, Mr. Scholefield, Mr. Heathcote, Viscount Enfield, Sir Robert Price, Mr. Patrick Somers, Mr. Ross Don nelly Mangles, Mr. C. H. Bunbury, and Colonel Watkins. Lord J. STUART, M.P., then addressed Lady Palmers ton to the following effect:—His Lordship said he could have wished it had fallen into far abler hands than his own to address her Ladyship on so interesting an occa sion. He was placed in a pecular difficulty from having been called upon suddenly to perform a duty of which he had not previously received the slightest inti mation, but ho had the less hesitation in acceding to the request which had been made to him as he felt sure that the large body of friends by whom he was sur rounded would all concur with him in the sentiments of respect, honour, and esteem which they entertained for Lord Palmerston. He admitted that he was perhaps not so well able to judge of the Noble Lord's conduct in the House of Commons as many of those gentlemen by whom he was surrounded; but during the many years ho had had the honour of holding a seat in that assembly, he had always been an admirer of his Lordship, and had ever found ample reason to re-echo the sentiments of the address, which had so adequately recognised the " in dependent policy, abilities, warmheartedness, and worth" of her Majesty's Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs. These feelings were not confined to those who had signed that address—to those who had subscribed to that por trait; they were shared in by the Sovereign, who in hits found an able and a conscientious adviser—and by the people, who knew him to be a patriotic Minister, whose leading principle throughout his political life had been to uphold the honour and interests of this great country. During the long period the Liberal party had been in power, Lord Palmerston had conducted the diplomatic affairs of Great Britain with so much credit and so much force as to inspire the respect of his op ponents and the admiration of his friends. During this period Lord Palmerston had carried on ne gotiations with some of the greatest statesmen in the world, among whom it was only necessary for him to refer to the Prince de Talleyrand and other celebrated contemporary diplomatists. The country would never forget the successful manner in which his Lordship had conducted the negotiations during the French revolu tion in 1830, when his skill and firmness, as they must all remember, prevented a European war and all its cala mitousconsequences. From that hour to the present time his Lordship had never undertaken the guidance of any great question involving the integrity or repute of Eng land iu which he had not fully vindicated the character of Great Britain as a nation, without entailing the in fraction of that peace in whose maintenance the predi lections of the English people were so warmly enlisted. In conclusion, the Noble Lord begged her Lad y shi p 's pardon for the very inadequate manner in which he had conveyed the feelings of those Who had assembled to do her honour by the expression of the esteem and admiration in which they held her illustrious husband, and by which the portrait before them would be an en during memorial. However inadequately he might have performed the office that had devolved upon him, he had received so much personal kindness from her Ladyship that no consideration of individual embarrassment should have deterred him from undertaking what he should otherwise naturally have shrunk from. The Noble Lord's address, during its delivery and conclusion, wa s rece ive d with the heartiest demonstrations of cordiality. Lady PALMERSTON, in reply, promptly and feelingly expressed her appreciation of so flattering a testimonial to her husband's ,honour and character, and her lively sense of its appropriate adaptation and value to herself, remarking delicately, but with true feminine point and grace, that the time chosen for such manifestation of confidence and regard on the part of so extensive a band of friends could but heighten to pride and gratitude the gratification she but feebly expressed. During this brief but Ouching response, her Lady ship, who was evidently much affected, was repeatedly interrupted by the applause of the members of the depu tation. Lord Palmerston hiniseif was deeply moved, and the eager interest exhibited by the members of the household in the background contributed not a little to the force and impressiveness of those sentiments which the assembly bad met to convey. The Noble Viscountess having sat down, Lord PALMERSTON addressed the deputation as fol lows:—Gentlemen,—l hope you will allow me to say that I feel quite unable adequately to express to you the feelings with which the. circumstances of this day ' have inspired me. To receive such a flattering mark of o pproyst and esteem from §C, large • umber of • independent Members of the popular branch of the Legislature would at any time be a source of the greatest pride and gratification; but at the present mo ment I need scarcely say tbat the compliment you have paid the 'is peculiarly acceptable. Such marks of confi dence and approbation from the representatives of his fellow-countrymen afford the strongest inducements to a public man to use his best exertions in the performance of the important obligations he is called upon to fulfil, and form the noblest rewards he can look to receive. I can assure you that this mark of your approval will but serve to encourage me in the performance of my public duties. With regard to my official conduct, I may say I feel supported by the conviction on the one hand that I have been influenced by no other motive than a re gard for the honour and interests of our common country; and on the other by a belief that he who so acts is certain to secure the good opinion and approval of his impartial fellow-citizens. One of the first objects of foreign policy is, as I conceive, to prott the in terests committed to the charge of n the Minister, and to afford our fellow-subjects abroad protection against in justice and wrong; and, on the other hand, to maintain and preserve peace where it can be done without for feiture of that position to which a great and free country is entitled in the scale of nations. These feelings have hitherto guided me; and the kind expression of your confidence this day, thus flatteringly conveyed, will but stimulate me to an energetic mantenance of the principle and policy thus approved. Gentlemen, I again thank you for the honour you have done fee, and I beg to assure you with all sincerity that I consider this the proudest day of my life. Prolonged cheering furnished a fitting finale to this interesting scene. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The practical joke which her Majesty's Ministers have recommended her to play on the newspaper-reading and letter-receiving public ap pears to have produced the desired amount of incon venience. A rather numerous class of political gen tlemen, who spend the Sunday some twenty or thirty miles from town, yesterday realised the unusual idea of a breakfast-table without a letter or a newspaper or a single shred of intelligence upon it. In several cases of privation that came to our knowledge it was evident that no improvement had resulted either in the temper or the language of the sufferers. But our contemporaries are the principal complainants. Foremost among them is one that has contended stoutly for the alteration, and charged all sorts of impiety and profaneness upon those who don't like to see Puritanism going ahead in this manner. " Our country readers," it says, " ought to be informed that the Post-office authorities offer no facilities whatever for carrying into effect the late resolution of the House of Commons for the observance of the Sab bath." Why, what did it expect ? Did it expect an additional mail-train on every metropolitan line of railway to leave town on Saturday after noon for the sole purpose of delivering the Satur day evening and " Sunday" papers over a part of the kingdom before midnight ? As it is, the evening papers are in Birmingham at 8 o'clock, and in Man chester at 11 ; but even the former hour would leave the Post-office very little time before 12 o'clock for the distribution of newspapers over the country dis tricts. But why did not the Sabbatarians tell us beforehand that they expected extraordinary " facili ties" on Saturday night ? If the public had been in formed that Saturday night was to be disturbed by express trains, special messengers, and special deli veries, up to 12 o'clock, keeping numbers out of their bed and spoiling their night's rest, it might have considered betimes whether the advantage of saving a village postmaster ten minutes' trouble on Sunday morning was worth so great a cost. Of all times in the week Saturday night is the very worst for a postal delivery, as will readily be perceived by those who know what it is to receive their letters and newspapers from their post town by the village carrier on his return from the Saturday market. But it is evident that the case of the evening papers is beyond the reach of any possible " facilities," when it is considered that even the morning papers will find the postal delivery of their Saturday's impression considerably affected. The Examiner announces an edition in time for transmis sion by the early mails on Saturday morning, putting itself thereby in the position of a morning paper, so far as the post is concerned. This is a very great sacrifice. The " leaders" must be written for the early edition, and will therefore lase the benefit of all the intelligence contained in the morning papers, in cluding, generally, an important debate. Instead of winding up the week, the early edition will neces sarily be behind the morning papers of Saturday. What, then, is to be gained by this sacrifice? Not very much after all, The deliveries by the morning mail are confined to a certain number of towns si tuated on railways, and not more than 300 miles from the metropolis. Most of the towns off the principal lines, rural districts, and all Ireland and Scotland, are either excluded from the benefit of the morning mail altogether, or are only enabled thereby to re ceive their letters somewhat earlier next morning than they would otherwise. The weekly papers cannot now be delivered through the post before Monday over the whole even of Eng land, unless they are published and posted in time for the Friday evening mail, at the moment, perhaps, that the most important debate of the week is on the point of beginning. The Post-office can do, and has done, wonders, but it cannot wholly annihilate space and time, and it is evidently not its fault if it-cannot deliver before midnight on Saturday all over 'the kingdom any publication pretending to be either a Saturday evening paper or a paper containing the news of the week. Their case is hopeless under the new rule—so far, at leest, as the facilities of the post are concerned. So far as regards the moral effect of this great lesson, candour compels us to admit that yesterday, being about the hottest and the finest Sunday in the memory of man, did not give it a fair trial. The atmosphere of . our streets yesterday was that of Dr. Reid's hot-air chambers just at the moment when, through some hitch in the machi nery, the current has ceased to flow. The result was that never before, since London was London, had the centrifugal force been so strong. The railways could not supply trains fast enough for the multi tude pressing into the metropolitan stations, and by the time a regular train had got off' there remained enough for a supplementary special. The river, which had not ceased to flow, presented a similar spectacle ; and as no air was to be got in the streets, it was a comfort to think of the several score thou sands who inhaled it, not quite pure perhaps, but still in motion, on the Thames. We never remember to have seen so complete a turn-out of the population on the pavement as there was in the evening, just as the air out of doors was beginning to be cooler than that within. We must add that we saw a good many reading their newspapers, which they did with the look of men exercising a privilege, and resolved to keep it if possible. We will not deny that yesterday the shade of forest trees, without a newspaper, and even without the post, would have been preferable to all that London could supply either for body or for mind ; but certainly, many whose hard fate bound them to this soil of iron and sky of brass seemed to find some alleviation of their wretchedness in the news of the week. WEEKLY DISPATCH.—The stopping of Sun day trading is not the only object of the malicious and mischievous idiots who worry the Legislature with petitions for the better observance of the Sab bath. They have a great hatred, also, of Sunday reading, and particularly of the reading of news paper. For years they have made all sorts of efforts to stop the publishing and the sale of weekly journals on Sunday, not because they desire to make a day of rest for newsmen, but because they wish to discou rage that useful mental occupation which is the great hinderance to the progress of cant and humbug. The effect of stopping the one early delivery of the post in the country on gunday morning will, of course, be, that all the daily and weekly newspapers sent away from London on Saturday night will be buried in the coun try post-offices until the following Monday morning. This is exactly what the Saints desire, but it is pre cisely that kind of inroad upon domestic enjoyments and public freedom which ought to be earnestly re sisted. Sunday affords, to most working men, and to many tradesmen, the only hours of leisure which can be devoted to reading the newspaper. It is our belief that there is, at this time, more newspaper reading on the Sunday than on all the other days of the week put together. This must of necessity be the case, because Sunday is a day snatched from labour, and the mass of the people having to draw their subsistence from the work of their hands, it is on this day, and on this day alone, when the body is at rest, and the mind free from care, that the newspaper can be read with attention and interest. Who will Bay that such occupa tion, during a part of the Sabbath, is either op posed to the proper performance of religious duty or to the welfare of the people ? England owes to a great extent, not only it s political freedom, but the preservation of public order, to the political intelli gence of the people, acquired, guided, and controlled by the press. English statesmen have spoken with just pride of the quiet and security existing of late years in this country, while the nations of the conti nent were distracted with the conflicts of rev olution.. It is this i n t eres t i n p u blic affairs, this knowledge of political questions, kept up and preserved by the becoming newspaper press, which enables t he people life to exercise their political dut ies with ake independence, but without b reakin g the laws. and away the working man's Sunday newspaper, ou deny him the means of acquainting . himself . w . ith y all that interests his class in public affairs. It is idle to any that time may be found on other days of the week for this kind of reading. Any one who . has any ac• quaintance with the habits of the trading and work ing classes of the English people knows how entirely their time is taken rp during six days of the week in attending to those pursuits by which alone they can ma k e provision for their families. Deprive such men of their Sunday newspaper and you debar them from the knowledge of the domestic and public occurrences of the times in which they live. To take away a working mans Sunday newspaper is to isolate him in his own country. I; ;ut who are these people who assume the right of dic tating what their neighbour may, or may no t do, on the Sunday ? For the most part, the petitions against Sunday trading and Sunday post age have originated with religious congregations, ( Fnly re markable f or th e i r i gnorance an d a ff ec t e d .3cantity. These persons claim the right of chosing tl leir own mode of spending the Sabbath, but they de ly their neighbours the same privilege. They are at Ell times themselves extremely jealous of any infrin gement upon what they call religious liberty ; but t heirs is the one-sided liberty of having their own w ny, and dictating to their neighbours. The impertinent and mischievous efforts of these affected saints to abridge public freedom, ought to be and must be resisted. Intole rance possesses no discretion. Give sanctity its own way, and it will establish a domestic tyranny more oppressive and hateful than the worst of mod ern Go vernments. Permit the saints to interfere vvith the sale and transmission by post of weekly publications, whether newspapers or otherwise, and they will not be slow to improve their advantage. They will not be satisfied with dictating what the people nay not read, but what they must read. Sermons, society tracts, missionary reports, and similar productions, will be made to form the edifying Sunday reading, and compulsory attendance at church or chapel the agreeable Sunday recreation of the people. The in tolerant spirit which dictates these measure ought to be resolutely resisted by the people. AMERICAN NEWS. [A summary of the subjoined intelligence (re. ceived by Electric Telegraph) was published in The Sun of Saturday LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. The new steam-ship Asia, Captain Judkins, which belongs to the British and North American Royal Mail Company, has just arrived. She sailed from Boston on the 12th, and Halifax on the 14th, and has therefore made the run from the former port in nine days eighteen hours ! The Asia brings a full complement of passengers, and the usual mails from Canada and the United States. The American Mail steam-ship Atlantic, which sailed from Liverpool on the 29th of May, arrived at New York on the afternoon of June 9, after a run of eleven days two hours. The present arrival brings nine days later news from New York, including the telegraphic dispatch from that city, via Galway. The following is from a New York journal:— " Mr. Clay had a severe attack of indisposition while attending Divine service, and was obliged to be carried out of church. He was better yesterday, and it was supposed there was no reason for alarm. "A large fire occurred at Pit sburgh on the night of the 7th inst., destroying a number of private dwellings and warehouses, as well as a large Presby terian church. The total damage amounts, it is sups, posed, to 100,000 dollars. " Robert W. Barnwell has been appointed by the Governor of South Carolina as Senator in the United States Congress, in place of Colonel Elmore. Mr. Barnwell was formerly Member of the House of Re presentatives from South Carolina, and has also been several years president of a college in that state. " The Legislature of New Hampshire commenced its session last week. The annual message of Go vernor Samuel Dinsmore discusses the corporation and railroad questions, common schools, agriculture, the militia, and other topics of public interest. It states that there are now in New Hampshire 450 miles of railroad in active operation, constructed at a cost of 16,000,000 dollars. The message concludes with the statement that the people of New Hampshire are hostile to every form of oppression, and that the question of slavery, now pending at Washington, can only be settled by compromise. " The proposal to aid in the construction of the rail road from Toronto to Lake Huron has been defeated by the people of Toronto by a vote of 665 to 196. The plan was warmly opposed on account of the feature resembling a lottery scheme, which provided that the control of the corporation should be determined by the drawing of prizes. The Bill for the simplification of practice and the diminution of legal expenses has been voted down by a large majority in the Canadian Parliament." The difficulties between this country And Portugal are assuming a serious aspect. Mr. Clay, our chargd at Lisbon, is expected home in a short time. The President, it is said, on good authority, will then transmit a special message to Congress, recom mending the adoption of the most urgent measures, if Portugal shall continue to refuse the payment of the American indemnities. The Nashville Convention is still in session, but ihusfar without important results. All the New York papers are in the greatest spirits respecting the passage of the Atlantic outwards, and say that she is one of the swiftest vessels afloat. Her run was of coun , e very quick, and shows this vessel a rival not to be despised. CALIFORNIA. We have California dates to May 1. The gold digging is represented as in a highly , prosperous con , dition. The new settlement at Trinidad Bay pro mises to be a place of a good deal of importance. On a beautiful plateau on the northern shore of the bay the site of a town had been surveyed, and buildings are now erecting in considerable numbers. The harbour is said to be the finest on the coast, with the exception of San Francisco and San Diego. The Legislature has adjourned, after a session of 100 days, having passed 143 Acts, most of which were essential to the complete organisation of the State Government. The people express a decided adherence to the position they have assumed in favour of free soil and a free constitution. DISCOYERY OF A MOUNTAIN OF GOLD. (From the Pacific News.) A party of emigrants by way of the Salt Lake ar riving at Los Angelus, gave an account of the existence of gold on that route, east of the principal mountain range, when a company then fitting out for a spot about sixty miles from the Pueblo changed its determination and proceeded in search of this other. The route lay in a north-east direction from the place of departure, and full of difficulties. Striking the Mahahve river, they followed its course some distance, crossing and re crossing as necessity compelled, some days as often as fifteen times, leaving it where it makes a bend to the south-east, towards the Colorado, into which it empties. Obiaacles were encountered at various points of the journey almost insurmountable, in the shape of mountains of rock, which they had to climb, and mountains of snow which they could not avoid, nar row gorges through which they had to pass, and still narrower cliffs, along whose crests nothing but a mule could pass with a prospect of safety, and where this slightest mis-step would land rider and all hundreds of feet below; but they pushed on about 230 miles from the Pueblo, the point for which they started. Here among the eastern spurs of the Sierra Nevada they found the object of their search—gold, and silver too; and in such quantities as they had not dreamed of—a perfect mountain of rocks with silver and gold mingled and commingled in solid masses weighing from one to many tons. The quartz proved to be exceedingly hard, to such a degree that during their short stay all the im plements made for this particular purpose before starting were completely worn out in the operation of drilling and blasting. The strangest part of the whole discovery is yet to be told. These large boulders of gold, silver, and quarts have the gold in the south end and the silver in the north end. No exceptions were found in their examinations, the silver being the most abundant of the two. In th e words of the person who was on the spot, " there is enough silver there to sink every ship in this harbour." Possibly some may look on this account as a jest, and so far as the practicability of putting the discovery to any use at present is concerned, it is so. All the water to be found for miles and mil es around is hi g hly impreg nated with salt, or saler a t us , or b oth. Nota single drop of water free from on e or ot h er of these propert i e s did one of the party obt a i n d ur i ng the ten days o f their slay. is a perfect waste, an d disease and The whole region death must i nev it a bl y follow any pro l o nged stay.
