Her Majesty the QUEEN having honoured Herr ILAUFMANr with her command to give another MUSICAL SOIREE with his svioustical Instruments, on FRIDAY next, at BUCKINGHAM PA LACE, the public ie hereby respectfully informed that the Second Concert, alreitdy announced, is POSTPONED to MONDAY, June 30. THE SUN, lucid statement of Mr. MILNER GIBSON—a statement which almost rendered further inquiry unnecessary, for it must have brought conviction to every dis interested and unprejudiced mind, and shown the pro priety of the point at issue being promptly and grace • fully conceded. The simple question to be answered was this, why should Manchester be placed in a dif ferent position from every other district in the United Kingdom ? Why should it alone be com pelled, not only to pay the enormous duties levied on the various articles brought into consumption in the populous and influential localities by which it is sur rounded, but also the expense of collecting those duties, of the entire staff of Custom-house officers, which the Board may be pleased to consider necessary ? It is true that the amount is not very large, the total ex- pense being only 2,503/. 6s. 2d., for which 319,3351. 19s. 2d. was brought into the Exchequer; or, in other words, the coat being only :16s. 9d. per cent., while the average cost throughout the entire kingdom averages Si. 19s. 6d., and in some of the favoured districts that are still maintained, se►eral hundred per cent. For instance, at Guernsey eleven persons were engaged at an expenseof 8201.19 x. Gd. per annum, the total amount of gross revenue received during the year 1849 being 21. 55. 6i., or if there had been a fair division of labour, the work of each individual being the receipt of 4s. lid. The case of Jersey was not quite so bad, for there only ten officers were employed at an expense of 8181. ss. Bd., while they actually received 51. 18q. lid. There are other cases in England, 'Wales, and Scotland, which although not quite as glaring, are yet sufficiently bad. We select the following from a return ordered by the House of Commons in March last, on the motion of Mr. ARCHIBALD EUSTIS : Number of Persons Employed. Salaries, Ice. Rave I racei' enue ived. Ports. Aberystwith Beaumaris Cardigan........,, Chichester ...... Padstow Scilly Borrowstoness Campbeltown... Lerwick Stornaway ..... Stranraer Wigtown And yet, while no complaint is made of the heavy expenditure in those unproductive districts, in none of which the gross revenue amounts to more than a mere fraction of that obtained at Manchester, we have bitter complaints on the part of the narrow minded financier who, unfortunately for the Whig Government, presides over the Exchequer, of the sum of 2,503/. 6s. 2d. being required to give the vast advantages of the bonding system to the ma nufacturing metropolis. With the " penny-wise-and pound. foolish policy," for which be has ever,been dis tinguished, he speaks of depriving Manchester of the boon conceded in 1844,unless the town council continue permanently to defray the expenses which they un dertook during the pendency of the experiment, and which they are unwilling to continue, now that the experiment has been attended with such unqualified success, a success beyond the most sanguine anticipa tions of its warmest advocates. Manchester is now the sixth bonding place in Eng land as to the amount of revenue, and in no single place is it collected at less than double the expense per cent. charged at Manchester, and if the revenue should con tinue to increase in a similar ratio to that of the last few years it will speedily go beyond Hull and Newcastle, which it already closely ap proaches. Sir CHARLES WOOD, however, speaks of taking away its privilege, while there are no less than 31 places in which the revenue collected is less than 5,0001., and 12 more where it exceeds 6,0001., but is less than 10,0001. And yet these places are not to be interfered with, while Manchester, which returns more than the whole 43 taken together, is to be deprived of its staff, and its merchants and traders sent to other districts to select the duty-p a yi ng a rticles for the consump tionitis surrounded. sonfrtrhoemyed. riadsifotfhaint unwise, dustrious thatp persons sonsby which insane cou were pursued, or if as Sir CHARLES Wool) suggested, the corporation imposed higher rates, the consump tion would be materially diminished through the higher prices, and the revenue itself would suffvr to many times the amount of the paltry sum in dis — pute. Sir CIIIRLES WOOD is, however, will ing to run any risk, to incur any degree of odium and unpopularity, rather than make any concession. On his head and on those of his col leagues be the result. 'The Manchester men, how- ever, need not despair ; their cause is based on equity and justice, and must eventually prove suc, cessful. Magna est veritas et prevalebit. Absolutely nothing whatever has yet been accom plished by our sanitary reformers in the way of sub stituting extramural for intramural interment. Loudly as they have vaunted the importance of this question, long as they have agitated, in the hope of bringing about the solution of this difficulty, they have hitherto failed altogether in dissipating one par ticle of the evil complained of by themselves, and recognised by the vast majority of the community. Burials are still taking place perpetually in the midst of our most crowded thoroughfares, in the very heart of the most densely populated localities. This, moreover, in the heat of the summer quarter, and when the metropolis has had the number of its inhabitants increased by so many thousands, in consequence of an influx of foreign and provincial visitors to the Exhibition ! Considering the extraordinary magnitude of the danger referred to, remembering also the reality of the perils encountered by the continuance of this detestable system of interments, seeing that the city The CHANCELLOR o f th e E xcneguza has for the graveyards are notori ou sly k nown t o b e th e manu factories of disease, and the inevitable means ,ime being successfully resisted the just and equitable of multiplying the amount of the general mor demand put forward by the Hon.

The House accordingly adjourned at a Quarter-past Twelve. ettntina glut. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1851. In the House of Lords last night, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, in moving for the papers relating to the trial of JOTEE PERSHAIID, at Agra, went into a lengthened statement of the services which 'TOTER PERSRAUD had rendered, and complained of the unfair treatment which he had suffered from the Indian Go- vernment. Lord BROUGHTON defended the conduct of the Indian authorities, and consented to produce the papers. The Registration of Assurances Bill was read a third time and passed. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve, when the Prevention of Offences Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion for the third reading of the Smithfield Market Removal Bill, Mr. STAFFORD protested against the measure. Mr. HUME moved that it be read a third time that day six months. On a division, there appeared— For the third reading ••• 81 Against it... ... ..• 32 Majority in favour of the Bill ~. —49 The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Sir GEORGE GREY moved the second reading of the Church Building Acts Amendment Bill. Mr. HUME complained of the manner in which it was attempted to hurry the Bill through the House. He moved that it be read a second time that day six months. Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the amendment. Sir B. HALL said the Bill was intended to increase the patronage of the Bishop of LONDON. Mr. PLUMPTRE would support the second reading, but did not approve of the clause giving the measure a retrospective operation. Sir R. INGLIs supported the Bill, and defended the Bishop of LONDON. After some further discussion the debate was adjourned lu to Friday, and the House adjourned until Six o ock . In the evening sitting, Mr. DISRAELI gave notice that on Monday next he w ould move resolutions to the following effect, as an amendment to the second Bill upon the paper for that night:—" That, according to the estimate of the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, there will be a surplus of revenue over expenditure amounting to about 2,000,0001.; that in this revenue is included 5,000,0004 sterling, de rivable from the property and income tax, respecting which an inquiry is now going on before a Committee which may lead to important modifications of that tax; and that in this provisional arrangeme,,t it appears to the House more consistent, with a due regard to public credit and the exigencies of the public service, not to make any material sacrifice of income in effecting such changes as might otherwise be deemed advisable in other branches of taxation." Mr. M. Gessoef moved for a Select Committee to in quire into the working of the system of warehousing toreign goods in bond in Manchester, as it affects im porters, dealers, and consumers of goods liable to Cus toms duty, residing in Manchester and the neighbour ing towns; also, as to its effects on the Customs revenue, and to report to the [louse as to the expediency or otherwise of placing Manchester on en equal footing with all bonded towns in the United Kingdom. The Hon. Gentleman said that the CHANCELLOR of the Ex CHEQUER had declared his intention to deprive Man chester of the privilege of bonding unless the whole of the expenses were defrayed by the town, whereas in every other bonded port in the kingdom they were defrayed by the Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion. No other conditions hed been imposed on Manchester than those which were imposed on every inland town in the kingdom. Mr. BRIGHT supported the motion. Mr. CARDWELL contended that Manchester should not repudiate the only condition upon which the privi leee of bonding had been extended to it—a condition equally enforced against every inland town in England which claimed a similar privilege. After some observations from Mr. HUME, Mr. T. EGERTON, Mr. LAISOUCHERE, Mr. BROTHERTON ' Mr. bPOONER, Mr. HEYWOOD, Mr. K ERSHAW, and Lord GALWAY, The House divided, and the numbers were— For the motion Against it ... ... 65 Majority ... ... —l5 Mr. FREWEN then moved the following resolution " That it is desirable to extend the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court to the whole of each county on the Home Circuit." Should the resolution be oarried, he did not propose that it should be acted upon this session. Sir G. GREY considered it undesirable to pledge the H use on the subject, and Mr. FREWEN consented to the motion being negatived without a division. Mr. H. HERBERT moved the following resolution:— " That this House will, on a future day, resolve itself into a Committee, to consider of an Address to her MA. JESTY, praying that she will be graciously pleased to ex tend the same measure of relict to the depositors in the late Rochdale, Scarborough, Tralee, and Killarney Savings Banks as has been already extended to the de positors in t e late Cuffe-street. Dublin, Savings Bank." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not admit the principle that, all loss's incurred oy the failure of savings banks must be borne by the revenue, and should therefore oppo‘e the motion. Mr. REYNOLDS was so fully convinced of the moral liability of the Government, that it was his intention to ask for the remaining ten shillings in the pound, and for the interest also, at the rate of five per cent.; so tat the sooner the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER paid the money the better for the public purse. Mr. BRIGHT supported the motion. Mr. HUME also supported the motion. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. SLANEY, Colonol THOMPSON said he believed that in equity these depositors had an indefeasible right upon the public _ .£ g. d. 626 3 9 1,080 19 9 417 2 6 744 16 0 767 11 7 590 11 3 941 8 7 560 10 0 457 7 0 494 4 7 537 2 6 712 0 8 LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1851. bo-dq• % % calculated to remove a considerable portion of the danger arising out of the indiscriminate employment of the intramural system of i❑terment. Yet notwith standing this specious appearance of merit on the part of the Bill relating to burials around the metropolis, it may not possibly be forgotten by our readers that we proclaimed its insufficiency as a means of securing any appreciable improvement. Ample op portunities have since then been afforded through which the community might test the real value or worthlessness of this boasted innovation. Have our assertions in its regard been verified, we ask, or otherwise ? We leave the records of the capital in reference to its mortality or to its interments to re spond. What the answer is we need not by any means specify. It is visible on the very surface of our metropolitan arrangements. It is perceptible on the weekly calculatio❑s printed in the periodical bills of mortality. Recognizing this at a glance, it becomes in cumbent on the Parliament to interpose in behalf of the citizens of London and Westminster, and by so doing to relieve itself from the odium of its miserable and abortive effort at improvement. What is re quired is easily to be ascertained. Among other things it is by no means wanted to compensate the clergy, as the Legislature would really seem to ima gine. Compensate them, forsooth I The notion is altogether derogatory to the character of the religion of which they profess to be the priesthood-- a religion that does not instruct its promoters to draw their revenues from the death of the faithful, or from the calamities of the multitude. It would really appear from the wording of the mea sure referred to as if the Parliament regarded the clergymen of the Church of England as so many ghouls fattening upon the corpses of their fellow creatures, and therefore requiring some compensation when deprived of this loathsome and ghastly nutri ment. Away with such hideous and detestable no -dm, tions as these, they are injurious to the age in which 7 we live, and derootory to the divine and celestial : principles of Christianity. 7 LLOYD'S SHIPPIN G.—( THIS DAY. ) 1 LONDON, JUNE 25. breeze and fine.

Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with English Wheat, mostly in good condition. Ail kinds commanded a steady sale, and a clearance was speedily effected at prices fully equal to those obtained o❑ Mon day. Several contracts were entered into for shipment from the east coast, at extreme currencies; whilst about 20,000 quarters of Wheat IA 'at from the westward were disposed of. The show of Foreign Wheat was season• ably good; most descriptions moved off steadily at the late improvement in ♦alue. Barley—the supply of which exceeded 7,000 quarters, wholly foreign—moved off slowly, at last week's prices. Very little Was doing in Malt; but no change took place i n the quotations.

QUEEN'S BENCH. _(THIS DAY.) :Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westrninister, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) JOHNSTON v. CLARK. This was an action to recover the sum of 1931 due on two bills of exchange. Mr. Huggins, Q.C., and Mr. Willes appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Air. Joyce conducted the defence. It appeared that the plaintiff, Mr. Johnston, was the bolder of two orerdue bills of exchange, one for 87/. 10s., accepted by the defendant Clark, and endorsed by him to the plaintiff, and the other for 70/., drawn by the de fendant on a gentleman named Sullivan, and endorsed by the defendant to the plaintiff. He brought an action to recover the amount of these bills against the defen dant, who pleaded a variety of pleas. Issue was joined, the record was made up, and the trial fixed for the 19th day of June, 1848 ; but Shortly before the trial the parties entered into an agree ment for the settlement of the action. The defendant was the holder of a bill of a person named Clansey, an officer in the Hussars, fur 300/., which fell due on the 30th of August, IE4B, and at the suggestion of the de fendant, the plaintiff agreed to take this bill, and out of the proceeds to pay himself fur the amount of the two bills, together with interest and costs, and to return the balance to the defendant. In the event of the bill not being paid by November, the defendant undertook to settle the debt with costs. These terms were con sidered satisfactory by the plaintiff, and the record was accordingly withdrawn. The bill was dishonoured on being presented to Clansey, and the defendant neglected to fulfil his promise. An appli cation was subsequently made to a judge at chambers to enter up judgment against the defendant, but his Lordship refused to do so, on the ground that in the agreement the parties consented to a final settle ment of the action. The consequence was that the plaintiff had to pay all the costs which had been incurred, in addition to the delay, expense, and risk of bringing a fresh action. The defence was that Clansey was absent in India with his regiment at the time the bill became due, and would have honoured it had it been presented to him in the proper way. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff fur the full amount claimed. -- - THE GREAT EXHIBITION. (THIS AY. At eleven o'clock 19,608 pe D rsons ) had passed through the doors of the Crystal Palace, and at that hour an im mense stream was continually pouring in from all quar ters. Most of the visitors to-day were country people, and, as if to-day were a special holiday, we noticed a greater number of soldiers, sailors, and policemen among the visitors thar. on any previous occasion. THE ROYAL CHILDREN TO DE TAUGHT GAELIC.— The 'lucerneFs Courier says that a correspondent who dates from the Temple, states that her Majesty and Prince Albert have conimisstoned a gentleman from the north to engage the services of a Gaelic teacher for the Royal . Family. "There is every chance," he says, "of an intimate friend of mine getting the appointment." This is certainly a compliment to the ancient language of the Gael. - AN ORNITHOLOGICAL MARRIAGE.—In Edinburgh the following ornithological marriage took place which set the whole noighbou r h oo d i n a f l utter :— M iss Hen-rietta Peacock was espoused to Mr. Bobbin Sparrow, by the Rev.

The market was well supplied and closed heavily, with prices of American id. per lb. lower. —Railway Shares were steady. The Colonial Markets have boon very steady for Sugar, and Coffee has been firmer. Rice is held for full prices, but with less inclination to buy. The following is an extract from " Instructions to Shipping Masters," issued by the Lords of the Commit tee of Privy C ounc il f or Trade, dated March 8, 1851: " Reduction of fees on short voyages —For the pur pose of reducing the fees payable by masters and owners of ships which make short and frequent voyages, and the deductions to be made from the wages of crews on account of such voyages, the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have been pleased to direct that the fees payable upon the engagement and dis charge of crews, under Sch e d u l e B of the Mercantile Marine Act, shall not be paid more than twice in one year, in respect of the same ship ; so that, after making the ordinary payments on two voyages, any further engagement or discharge of the crew may be effected without further payment. The year for the above purpose is to be taken as com mencing on the Ist January, and ending on the 31st December. The above arrangement will of course have the effect of preventing any deduction being made from the wages of crews, either for entries or discharges, on more than two voyages in the same ship in one year. "Regulation as to fines—ln places in which Forms U and R are not totally suspended, the shipping master should not in future issue those forms unless they are asked for; and in every case in which they are asked , for should make both master and crew understand that they are entirely optional, and that either some, or all, or none of the regulations need be adopted, as the case may require; and a copy of A or B, as the case may require, should in all cases be offered to the master, to be made accessible to the crew, instead of Form U; and, unless that form be preferred, should be furnished instead of that form. In the home trade especially, care should be taken to explain that these regulations need not be adopted, and that such only (if any) should be taken as may be suited to the particular case."

Mr. ANSTEY put a question to the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the State prisoner Mr. MacManus was not discharged from the custody of Sir William Denison's commandant at Port Arthur by a solemn order of the Supreme Court of Van Diemen 's Land declaring such custody to be illegal; whether the said State prisoner, after having, in consequence of such order,with the connivance of Government, quitted Hobar ton, and returned to his own house at Launceston, has not been again arrested by Sir William Denison upon the same charge on which his Excellency had caused him to be placed in such custody ; whether it is true that be was, upon such his second arrest, brought all the way back from Launceston to Hobarton, a distance of 120 miles, on foot ; and whether he was not, at the date of the last advices, suffering from a fever occasioned by such treatment? Mr. HAWES said that it was quite true that Mr. Mac Menus having applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus, and the return to that court being deemed insufficient, he was discharged from custody. To the r es t o f t h e question o f t h e H on . an d Learned Gentleman h e cou ld g i ve no answer , not having yet re ceived suffici en t i n f ormat i on. The Chief Ju s ti ces ' S a l ar i es Bill was introduced and read a fir s t ti me . UNIVERSITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. _ Sir G. CLERK p resente d a pet i t i on f ro m the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland strongly objecting to the provisions of this Bill. Mr. E. ELLICE , j un., presented a pet i t i on f rom the Provost and Corporation of St. Andrews in favour of the Bill. The Hon. G ent l eman commenced by describing the Mr. COWAN move d the second read i ng o f th e difference betwe en t h e E nglish and Scotch unive rsity f system. The u n i vers i t i es in Scotland were f ar from assuming the ecc l es i ast i cal character which they sessed in Engl an d ; t h ey were not so dependent on. the national Church, for a ll t h e cha i rs of professors m i g ht be held by l aymen except the chair of divinity. The tes ts which bad fo rmer l y b een created had been for the phrP°sl of keeping out of the professors' chairs Prelatists and Papists, who were hostile to the Hanoverian succession: In the present day these tests were but of little use, and it was well k nown that several of the professors' chairs were occupied b y E p i scopalians, with great credit to themselves h e wou l d allow. The simple object of the Bill was to thr ow open these chairs de jure as well se de facto to a ll c l asses of Dissenters. From the best in formation he had b een a bl e to (Amin, no test whatever had been required for the last twenty years in the Uni versity of Scotland, and this he thought was a very strong argument for the repeal of the tests. Ho con cluded by moving the second reading of the Bill. Mr. LOCKHART considered that the measure was calculated to destroy the religious and Protestant cha racter of the Scotch Universities. There had been no public demonstration in the country to justify t h e House in taking s o i mportant a step as the abolition of university tests, which had already worked so well. All the univer sities in Scotland bore a high character, and religious dissension had never entered within their walls. The Bill was, in fact, in direct opposition to the oath taken by her Majesty, that she would maintain the established Church in Scotland with all its rights and privileges for all time to come. He moved that the Bill be read * second time this day six months. Mr. EWART said it was quite competent for the House to pass a measure to amend or alter the Act of Union. The Hon. Member had said that the Bill would violate the principles of Protestantism; he (Mr' Ewart), however, thought that religious freedom was the best promoter of the Protestant faith. The Bill was quite in accordance with the religious feel ing of the country, and congenial with the enlightened views of the people, and he had therefore great pleasure in supporting the second reading. Sir GEORGE GREY said the opinions which he entertained in regard to the principle of the Bill remained unaltered, and if the Honourable Member went to a division he should feel bound to give it his support. His Right Hon. Friend the Secretary at War had stated in the House that it was the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill of the same kind, but that he did not think it expedient to do so this session. He (Sir George Grey) very much doubted the policy of the Hon. Member pressing the House to a division on the present occasion. There was no probability of success, and looking at the appearance of the House, it did not seem that the question had excited much interest among the Scotch Members. Ho was, however, of opinion that however ne cessary these tests might have been, the occasion for their institution had long since passed away, and it was not con ducive to the advantage or interest of the universities that they should be maintained. If enforced, the effect would be to exclude from the chairs of universities many emi nent men. The universities themselves had the good sense to avoid such a result by practically putting these tests into abeyance. As there was, however, little pro spect of the Bill p ass i ng t hi s session, he trusted that the lion. Member wou ld w i thdraw his motion. After a few words from Mr. E. ELLics, jun., and Ur. A.

The deceased, whom he knew, was also on horseback, and passed them at a gentle cante r , th e i r horses walking. He had got about ten or twelve yard s i n front when he arrived at a very _n o ab rupt y corner in Dean-street, where vehicles should certaTrl(lon% y walk round, and met a ca b coming in a contrary direction, not not at a rapid pace, but too fast for such an angle - street, and b e f ore t h e dr i ver could pu ll up , theshaft, ente u r iv e non the kerb of th e was forced up with great v i o l ence , stru d ck au t d he he u w nf a o a rt f u o i r i c a e t d e deceased in the gro i n , w hi c h it completely out of his saddle, and thr that the deceased was in great p a in , pavement.

DEATH os' 'run REV. T HOMAS HARVEY —The Boulogne Advertiser announces, in the following terms, the death of the Rev. Thomas Harvey, whose differences with the Bishop of London have occupied the public attention for some years past :—" At ten minutes to five yesterday morn. log this much respec' ed gentleman was summoned from the pangs of sickness, and the varied trials and anxieties of this mortal sphere, at the age of 50 years. Calmly, ant well nigh imperceptibly, ebbed the stream of life into the vast ocean of the Eternal. Hushed. tranquillized the sufferer's feelings, cn the bosom of the faith he loved so ardently, and advo cated with a zeal which never tired, he laid his weary head, and shook off the burden of mortality. Amid the tears of his now mourning circle, and the honour of those who bailed him as the teacher and cherished him as the friend, he rose above the fogs and conflicts of a sublunary, into the nobler atmos phere of an unfading world. The cause of truth has lost in him another advocate, religion another eloquent expounder, and humanity a friend, who loved and worked in its holy cause. Peace and consolation be with the bereaved ! a peace as true, a consolation as divine and deep, as the me mory of the good departed is sacred and revered."

The attack has been so severe that nothing but the strength of the bine could have en a bl e i t to withstand its effe c t s as it has done. I he pl an t at i ons just now seem to be wavering in the balance, and no one can say whether they shall recover or go into a total blight. We are more favoured in this district than in Sussex, where there has been more fly and less bine. The blight is not confined to the hops, but equally attacks other plants whi c h are suitable food for the vermin. In some in stances the plums are almost entirely destroyed. We know one case i n w hi c h a month ago there was promise of 1,000 bushels where there will not be 49. Everything now de pends on the weather.---Maidstone Journal. BIRTHS. OF • SO N.
