Th, 3 SPEAKER took the Chair shortly tf.er Twelve o'clock. BARON ROTHSCHILD. Sir B. HALL wished to know whether it was the in tention of the Attorney-General to lay his resolutions on the table of the Howe relative to Baron Rothschild this morning or at five o'clock. It bad been generally under stood that the resolutions would ere this have been pri❑ted and distributed among Members, but such had not been the case. Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was the intention of his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney-General to lay the resolutions he proposed for the adoption of the House on the table this afternoon ut five o'clock, and be would then propose that they should be printed with the votes, and taken into consideration at twelve o'clock on Monday. AUSTRALIAN COLONIES. Mr. F. SCOTT wi*hed to kaow from the Under-Se cretary if State for the Colonial Department, whether the Colonial-office had received a memorial upon the subj et if the Auvralian Colonies Constitution Bill, ex pressing opinions favourable to a double chamber, and also the land question? Mr. HAWES said that no such memorial as had been alluded to by the Hon. Member had been received at the Colonial-ottice. When it was, it would be laid on the table of the House, SITTING ON SATURDAY. Lord J. RUSSELL said that it might be convenient to Hon. Members to know that it had been thought necessary that the House should it on Saturday, nut for the purpose of proceeding with any measures that were calculated to create discussion, but merely to for ward measures which pressed, AUSTRALIAN COLONIES GOVERNMENT BILL. On the motion for the consideration of the Lords' amendments to the Australian Colonies Government Bill, Mr. F. SCOTT wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to agree with all the amendments made by the Lords to this Bill, because if they did, he believed they would agree to a measure which was never intended to become law, and one that would be very different from that which had passed the House of Commous. The Bill as amended was not the Bill that had been introduced into Parliament, and it was not a measure that had received the concurrence of the Australian colonies. He wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to persevere in the passing of this Bill during the present session. Here they were, at almost the last week of the session, and yet the measure that had beep adverted to in her Majesty's Speech at the com mencement of the session had not yet become law. They had decided upon giving the Australian colonies that which they did not ask for, and to refuse them that which they did require. It was not fair to the colo nists to bring in this Bill at the fag end of the session!, and ask the House to pass it, when it might have beep taken into consideration at a much earlier period. The Federative Assembly was to have no power over the land, though it was well known that the wishes of the colonists were in favour of such power being given to it. In consequence of the Government arrangements with respect to the sale of land, our surplus population, in stead of going to the Australian colonies, were induced to emigrate t-, North America and to the United Statei , where they found the terms more advantageous. The land was so badly regulated in Australasia, that emi grants were driven from the neighbourhood of towns and settlements to far distant portions of the country, where they were beyond the control of the Government, and were bound by no moral, civil, or religious obliga tions. This accounted for the existence of states of society in which the male population greatly predominated, and which was characterised by the most immoral and depraved habits. Another objection which be entertained to the Bill was that it gave power to the Governor to alter the various salaries contained in the schedule, and as he might of his own accord diminish them in amount, the consequence would be that if the judge of any colony should do any act which was adverse to his wishes, he might be mulcted of a considerable portion of his income. Now, this would enable the Governor to compel a judge to give a decision adverse to his honest opinions and convictions, if it should be required for any particullr purpose or end. The Honourable Gentleman stated, hi conclusion, that he could not give his assent to :a Bill which gave to Australia a form of governme4t that was not in accordance with the wishes of the co: lonists, and was not calculated to cement that bond Of friendship and attachment to the mother country which ought to exist. Sir DE LACY EVANS rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) VAUXHALL GARDENS. BALLOON ASCENT OF MR. GREEN ON HORSEBACK. Abandoned by science as a hopeless speculation, the balloon has become the legitimate property of the ca terers for the amusement of the public. It now forms one of the most attractive of the varied entertainments getup for the delectation of the holiday folk and sight seers in our public gardens, while the rage for novelty, and the depraved taste, as it may be termed, for scenes of excitement and peril, have set ingenuity at work to produce a new sensation or create new pleasure. Our Parisian neighbours have had the questionable honour of striking out the latest novelty, and setting the newest fashion in uerostation ; and the interest and cu riosity excited by M. Poitevin's recent ascent on horse back have induced the proprietor of the royal property at Vauxhall to get up a similar exhibition for the en tertainment if his numerous patrons. Mr. Green, of whom it may be said that his home is the air, And ho only par cemplaisancc touches the ground," having volunteered to play thu Thu Quixote in what many will consider a needless exhibition of foolhardi ness, the ascent took place yesterday afternoon under the most favourable atmospheric auspices, and in the presence of vast crowds assembled within and without the grounds. The aeronaut was evidently so perfectly " master of the situation" that the sympathies of the philanthropists were enlisted only on behalf of the horse —an application having actually been made on Tuesday to place him under the protection of the Society for the Prevention el Cruelty to Animals. The rsagistrate, however, refused to grant the injunction, and man and horse (it the diminutive quadruped which went up la:st night can by any stretch of imagination be termed such) made their appearance in the enclosure at the appointed hour. The process of inflation was completed abOut half-past six, and the next hour was occupied in making the necessary arrangements for the ascent. The great Nassau balloon having been placed hors de combat by its immersion in the Thames some time since, when, our readers may remember, it was found necessary to fire several shots into it to allow the gas to escape, the Royal Victoria balloon—one of much smaller dissensions—was called into requisition. It vias this, we were given to understand, which ran derest it necessary to substitute a little pony, weighing just 2001b5., for the horse. A light wicker platform was suspended by cords from the hoop of the balloon, and in this sockets were fitted to receive the hoofs, which were then firmly strapped down, so as to render all kicking and plunging out of the question. The animal, richly caparisoned in crimson and gold, hav ing been secured on the platform, w as then blindfolded, and Mr. Green, who appeared perfectly cool and col lected, went through the form of mounting his diminu tive steed, his feet resting on the sandbags on either side of the platform, and at ten minutes to eight o'clock the balloon and its novel freight shot up with great rapidity amidst the cheers of some and the laughtef of others, and, after soaring to a considerable altitude, took a south-easterly direction, and was soon lost in the clouds. The pony made some desperate plunges just as the bal loon rose, and, from the violent oscillations which the little platform exhibited while it remained in sight, we would inter that the animal was by no means satisfied with bis position. In the enclosure were a large num ber of scientific and literary gentlemen, and several fo reigners and friends of the aeronaut. MRS. GRAHAM'S BALLOON ASCENT. _ Mrs. Graham, the intrepid female aeronaut, made her 54th ascent from the Flora Gardens, Bayswater,, on Monday evening last, with the new splendid balloon, the " Royal Victoria and Albert." 'The balloon was inflated by the attendants of the Imperial Gas Company, and on this occasion carried up five persons—Mrs. Graham, three of her daughters, and her eldest son. The balloon took nearly a southerly direction, remaining in sight until it commenced its descent in the distance. The following is Mrs. Graham's brief account of the same : The wind blowing rather; fresh at the moment' of starting, a gust passing over the balloon caused a partial descent in the grounds, which was speedily remedied by discharging a small quantity of ballast, when we directly rose most majestically. Passing over liensington-gardens, we obtained a clear bird's-eye view of Cremorne, which was thee illuminated, and we could distinctly hear the sounds of music ascending therefrom. The Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, my son directly looked for and pointed out, on the other side of the bridge, to his sisters. The entire view to my son and one daughter, whose first ascent this wa., was almost electric, and the exclamations of surprise and astonishment equal to any I have ever heard ema nate from persons possessed of nerve that have accom panied me; not wishing to travel far, and obseriing some fine parks in the distance, I made ready to descend on one of them, and ultimately effected this desideratum at half-past eight o'clock in the centre of Richmond-park, where, after giving the necessary directions to my son, and those persons assembled on the spot, myself and three daughters gratefully accepted the invitation of A. N. Roberts, Esq., of Besborough-park, Roehampton, and accompanied by his son, Frederick Robarts, Esq., of Hill-srect, Berkeley-square (then ou a visit), we pro ceeded to the splendid mansion at Roehampton ; where, after partaking of refreshment, afforded in the true " Old English Style," and favoured with the kindest attentions by Mr. Robarts, his son and daughter (who was pleased to accept one of my daughters flags), we were conducted to a brougham belonging to the family, and in it con veyed to town, attended with the most flattering enco miums and heartfelt wishes of our generous host and the members of his family then present. In conclusion, I cannot omit noticing the extraordinary admiration of my daughter Alice, who accompanied me on Friday night last from Vauxhall-gardens, at the astonishing view of London, at midn i g ht, being the first and only attempt made by females to conduct the manage meet of a balloon at night, and so much pleased am I with the nerve exhibited by those of my daughters who have hither to accompanied me (four in number), that if on trial I find the others of equal spirit (which I doubt not), I feel disposed (God willing) to ascend with my seven daughters at the Great National Exhibition of 1851. MAGAZINE DAY. IBLACKWOOD. Without being particularly diversified in subject the contributions to the August number of Black wood are sufficiently various to present attractions to the habitual readers of the first of all the monthly periodicals. Pursuing its old course as a staunch Protectionist organ, Maga battles again right gal lantly against its sworn foes, "Free Trade and our Cotton Manufactures." Even when our sympathies are entirely in the opposite direction we cannot fail to admire the ability, adroitness, and undaunted re solution with which the principal advocate of the cause of the agriculturists argues for the restoration of the abandoned system, and comes forward yet once more to break a lance with the apostles of the new political economy. A cursory paragraph in a literary notice of a magazine, such as our present notice of Blackwood, is scarcely the fitting opportunity for an argument as comprehensive and important as that entered upon in the opening paper to this number fur August. At this moment we can do no more than refer the article in question as one worthy of an attentive perusal, and yet as one to our mind capable of a detailed refutation. "Court ship in the time of James the First," is a curiosity, in many respects remarkable. It is well that the author of the compilation sets forth at its very commence ment the assurance that his narrative is strictly au thentic, as otherwise the generality of readers might very reasonably have fallen into the nation that it was altogether fictitious. " Ledru Rollin on Eng land" is a deliciously sarcastic analysis of " La Decadence d'Angleterre," a work as frivolous in its philosophy as it is ungenerous in its whole character. " A Family Feud," a translation from the German of Godfrey Kinkel, affords a brilliant evidence of the talent of that distinguished professor, whose abilities have acquired him reputation without, as well as within, the Bonn University. All lovers of art will turn with pleasure to the chapter dedicated to " Burnet's Landscape Painting in Oil," and all per sons interested in any way in the career of the late Robert Plumer Ward, will derive gratification from the .review of his memoirs here entitled "Political and Literary Biography." To Lord Brougham and Colonel Sibthorp, the lines headed " The Temple of Folly," will sound agreeably, and to scarcely any one else in the United Kingdom. Two other criticisms, in addition to those already particularised, remain unmentioned; one attractive to all admirers of the adventurous, on " African Sport ing," the other on the "Baronial and Ecclesiastical Antiquities of Scotland," presenting to all antiqua ries and architects a theme of scarcely resistible fascination. Such are the contents of the August number of Blackwood, a number interesting, if it cannot be strictly termed seasonable. SAT LONDON, FRASER. We are much pleased with the article on Sir Robert Peel in the Fraser of this month. It is written in a philosophical spirit, and traces the gradual develop ment of the mind of Sir Robert Peel, from the time that he first entered the House of Commons to that in which he reigned over it as Dictator and Moderator. We entirely agree in the very high esti mate this writer has formed of Sir Robert Peel's genius and character; and we believe that our escape from the violent revolutions which have recently con vulsed the continent, is mainly to be attributed to the wisdom of Sir Robert Pee), who, to use the words of this writer, " precluded revolution by pre cipitating reform, making those changes natural and easy, which, but for him' and such as him, would have been forced and violent." The present number of Fraser opens with an elaborate and favourable (in our opinion, far too favourable) notice of Word worth's Posthumous Poem. A chapter on our poli tical relations with St. Domingo, gives an inte resting account of that Mulatto Dominican Repub lic, which seems to be advancing as rapidly in civilization as the negro empire of Solouque is retrograding into savagery. Morgan Rattler gives us a pleasant prolusion " Touching Fly-fishing:, The Naturalist continues his amusing and instructive leaves from his note-book, and " Madame de Pompadour" is the heroine of one of the most amusing specimens of gossipping memoir-writing it has for a long time past been our lot to peruse. There is one other arti cle in Fraser deserving of especial mention, it is en titled " Swindon," and is one of the best parodies ever written. It is as follows ,: " At Swindon, when the night drew nigh, Few were the trains that went thereby, And very dreary was the sigh Of damsels waiting dolefully. " But Swindon saw another sight, When the train came at dead of night, Commanding oil and gas to light Much stale confectionary. " By soups and coffee fast allured, Each passenger his choice secured, Excepting those locked in, immured, By sly policeman's treachery. " Then rushed the mob, by hunger driven; Then vanished buns, in pieces riven; And louder than the orders given Fast popped the beer-artillery. " But farther yet that train shall go, • Ard deeper yet shall be their woe, And greater horrors shall they know, Who bolt their food so speedily. Time's up! but scarce each sated one Can pierce the steam-cloud rolling dun, Where curious tart and heavy bun Lie in dyspeptic sympathy. " The combat thickens. On, ye brave! Who scald your throats, in hope to save Some spoonfuls of your soup, the knave Will charge for all he ladles ye! " Few, few, digest where many eat, The nightmare shall wine up their feat, Each carpet bag beneath their seat Shall seem a yawning sepulchre." SONNET.—JULY. (From the Lady's Companion.) 'Mid beams and rains alternate flashing, now July, the ripe luxuriant month, we hail! Queen of the Season—by each jewelled bough That yields for her its riches to the gale. Cherries the sweetest—Currants crystal red, Or moonlight hued, or ebon black displayed. WP know her come by all the token's spread: The swelling apple, and the fig-tree's shade; By poppies burning 'midst the fields of grain, The fox-glove's purple, and the pale wan flower That smiles unto the stars, and shuts again Ere morn,—and by the gold of noontide hour, .By all the rills that tinkled songs to May, And now for flowers can scarce see night from day; E. E. M. K. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sltt,—Perhaps yOu will not object to find room for this observation on " the oath." "On the true faith of a Christian" means—what? First, it is parenthetical, equivalent to (as lam a Christian), " so," &c. And, if it be regarded as asseveration, it amounts to—Let me be the more readily believed, for I profess the Christian faith. But who can imagine those words to convey ought binding on a Christian unless he be SWEARING on or by HIMSELF.—I am, Ste. W. WALDRON. 15, Gray's Inn .square, August 1, 1850. WORKING MAN'S TESTIMONIAL TO THE LATE Sin ROBERT PEEL—Last evening a meeting of the Central Committee for carrying out the above object was held at the committee-rooms, itelvidere llotel, Pentonville, which was attended by Sir James Duke, Bart.., M.P., Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., and other influential members, when the affairs were thoroughly investigated, and found in a very satisfactory state. It is contemplated to hold a public meeting at the Crown and Anchor in the course of next week. MuRDER AT NOTTINGHAM.-A murder was COM mitted on Sunday evening last, upon a man named John Tuckwood, a butcher of Nottingham, near Trumpet-street, a low part of the town. It appears that Tuckwood was in the above neighbourhood about ten o'clock on Sunday night, when he met three men, one of whom, without uttering a word, struck him a terrific blow on the face, which knocked out several of his teeth. The poor fellow immediately fell, and the other men coming up kicked him in different parts of his body, and then jumped upon him. He was rendered almost insensible, but managed to crawl to a lodging house in Trumpet.street, where he was taken in, his face present ing a shocking spectacle. Surgical aid was sent for, and the poor fellow lingered in great agony until Tuesday morning, when he died. C ON SECRATION OF ST.

Wilts, M.A., and the Rev. Thring, M.A., Fellows of King's College, Cam bridge. DISSENTERS' MARRIAGES.—A scene is related to have occurred last week in the Wesleyan Chapel, at Welling ton, Oxon. The minister refused to grant the wishes of a couple to be united by other than a regularly-appointed Wesleyan minister. The registrar claimed a right by law to say who the ceremony, ,should be performed by, irrespective of the minister, the chapel having been gazetted as a licensed marriage house. The minister persisted in his refusal, and placed an additional padlock on the door ; this was broken and the ceremony perform* the regular minister protesting and threatening 411 action for trespass. URSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1850. . PARIS IN MARCH, 1850. (CONTINUED.) The following anecdote appeared in two or three French papers of March last, but even now gives a "somewhat new nod strange" idea of Lamartine and the French stage :-- " M. de Lamartine, es all the world knows, gave his drama of Toussaint- Louverturc to the Theatre Porte St. Martin, and Frederick Lemaitre [who acted Robert Macaire so well in London] takes the rule of Toussaint. " Two months since, Frederick set off for Saint- Point, where M. de Lamartine then resided, to inquire how soon he would return to Paris. " Not for some time, answered the poet; to say the truth, it is my intention to remain at Saint-Point as long as I possibly can.—D--! cried Frede rick, ' but that will not do for me.—Why so ? Because I shall be obliged to consult you from time to time on certain parts of my role, and should be sorry to travel a hundred leagues.—You are right, said M. de Lamartine, I will be at Paris next week. " The poet kept his promise,. Frederick visited him at his hotel in the rue de l'Universite, and after talking about the tragedy, inquired carelessly when he intended to make his rentrie in the Assembly ? "Not yet, said M. de Lamartine, I nave several things to work off.—Permit me to say you are wrong, said Frederick ; it is absolutely necessary that you should be seen. The public must know that yoU are really at Paris, that you attend the rehearsals, and that Toussaint-Leuverture is an important work, not merely got up with the aid of a simple machinist. "On the very day of this conversation M. de La martine re appeared in the Assembly. " The poet thought he had done enough, but little knew the Machiaval with whom he had to deal. Frederick returned to the hotel in the rue de "Ah ca, M. de Lamartine, why do you never say a word ?—My dear Frederick, I thought I had been talking with you this last half-hour.---That is not what I mean : I ask, why do you never speak at the Assembly ?—Becauso I have nothing to say at present.—The fact is, said Frederick, I never see you now in the tribune, and must confess I should be glad to hear you, in order to catch some of your gestures and your intonation : you alone can give me the tone for my great speech in the Third Act.—lf you please, I will read it to you.—Bah ! that ins quite another thing : here in your cabinet with your leverets and me, you have not the sacred fire; you must mount the tripod of the tribune. If you will not address the Assembly in a few days, I cannot answer for the Third Act.— Well, said the poet, with the utmost naiveté, I will endeavour to speak to-morrow, and I will send you a ticket for the gallery. " And M. de Lamartine actually did pronounce a discourse on the appointed day, but Frederick did not take the trouble to go and hear it. His point was gained. Convinced that the success of Toussaint , Louverture depended as much on the name and fame of the author, as on the work itself, he had brought M. de Lamartine to Paris, had sent him to the As sembly, and also persuaded him to make a speech, all this in order that he might not suffer himself to be for gotten. " At the present moment M. de Lamartine does not suspect these innocent collateral puffs, and Fre derick even hopes to make him introduce in a second speech some transparent allusion to the revolt of St. Domingo. So Cunningly has Frederick got hold of the ficelle which pulls the decors of both Houses." This anecdote brings to mind a sentence in H. Walpole's Letters :—" A statesman, who is nothing but an actor, should be that greatest of actors, a philosopher ; and, with the leave of wise men, that is, hypocrites, philosophy I hold to be little more than presence of mind." Lamartine showed presence of mind enough in February, 1548 ; but from the fore going, one would believe the other actor to have shown more, on this last important occasion. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, JULY 31. FIRE AT THE JUVENILE PRISON, PARE HURST, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Soon after Tuesday midnight a destruc tive fire broke out in one of the dormitories called the C ward, and raged till four o'clock on Wednesday morning, when the roof of the whole of this part of the building (200 feet long) fell in. The building was three stories high and 25 feet wide. There were 200 of the boys sleeping in it when the fire broke out, who were all safely removed to the parade-ground, where they were guarded by the troops from Albany barracks, who had been sent immediately on the fire being discovered. The building (which is completely destroyed) was directly at the back of the governor's house. Great fears were entertained that that and the range of the adjacent buildings would be de stroyed, but fortunately there was plenty of water, and the engines from the poor-house, the barracks, and Newport ware soon on the spot, ard there was no lack of assistance. We noticed the Isle of Wight artist for the illustrated London News on the spot taking a sketch of the ruins. Tne governor of the prison was absent on leave. It is not known how the fire originated; fortunately there was no wind. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. RETURN TO PORTSNIOU TIE OF THE ROYAL YACHT AND S TROMBOLI STEAM-SLOOP. Tho Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. Beauclerk, arrived at Spithead yesterday at half-past one o'clock, and soon afterwards %%out into harbour. She parted company with the royal yacht Victoria and Albert otf Cherbourg in the morning, at half peat five o'clock. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert arri►ed at three o'clock at Spithead, and went straight into harbour at halt-past three. Lord Adolphus landed at the dockyard to pay his respects to the Commander-ir-Chief, Admiral Sir Bladen Cape), and to land some dispatches from Gibraltar and Lisbon. The yacht went into Cherbourg at half-past five o'clock yesterday morning. Captain Lord Fitzclarence and his friends landed, called on the authorities of the place, and left in the yacht again at half-past nine; making the run from Cherbourg to Portsmouth in five and a half Ileum The Victoria and Albert was placed in quarantine when she went into Bordeaux on Sunday week, and re mained two days. Sho then received pratique, and anchored off the town, where she remained till Saturday. She went into Brest and remained twenty-four hours, and left that harbour on Tuesday morning, arriving at Cherbourg yesterday morning. The royal yacht was visited at Bordeaux and Brest by a vast number of the inhabitants, who were cour teously received on board by Lord Fitzclarence, Captain Crispin, and the cfficers. We hear that the inhabitants of Cherbourg were extremely disappointed at not baying an opportunity of seeing the British yacht, that they might compare her with their former extolled royal yacht the Gomer. During the few hours the Victoria and Albert remained at Cherbourg a small number of persons were received on board. - The yacht is reported to have behaved well through out, and her engines have performed most satisfactorily. Altogether she has lad a most delightful and gratifying cruise; the only difficulty has been the procuring coals at the French ports, and then only getting them at in tervals of time and in small quantities. Prince Edward of Suke-Weimar, Sir G. Wombwell, Burt, Sir Joseph Copley, and Colonel Tyrahitte have returned in her. Prince Ernest of Leiningen, late a midshipman in the Arrog ant screw-frigat e , w h o came in the royal y ac ht f rom Lisbon to Bordeaux, left the yacht at the last-named place to proceed to Germany by land. - - Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, on his return to Ports mouth, proceeded to Osborne to report his arrival and the particulars of the interesting cruise to her Majesty. THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET.—The intelligence from Malta to the 24th ult., announce that Sir William Par ker was still at Malta. The fleet was not there, but Sir William shifted his flag from the Queen, 110, on the 14th ult., to the Firebrand, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Knox, leaving the fleet cruising outside; the Firebrand bringing in invalids from the reception-ships for treat ment at the hospital. The gallant commander-in-chief was to rejoin his three-decked flag-ship in a day or two. By letters from the fbet we learn that about seventy cases of cholera had appeared in the ships under the im mediate command of Sir W. Parker; but the number was daily diminishing. The total number of deaths had not exceeded thirty. The flag-ship Queen, 110, Captain Wise, bad suffered most. Mr. Stanhope G. Price has been appointed naval cadet to the Inflexible steam-sloop, for the West Indies. Desperate steam-frigate, at Sheorneos, is ordered to have a distilling galley for 200 men supplied to her from Portsmouth. Greenock iron screw steam-frigate, haring bad some alteration made in her boilers, and taken in ballast to i immerse her six inches deeper, 12 feet 6 inches forward and 15 feet 6 inches abaft, was taken out aga in round the Eddystone on Tuesday, when she answered much better. She is reported to have gone about very quickly, and almost in her own length. H i tier speed s stated to be somewhat improved; but it should be borne in mind that p it was a most beautiful day, without any sea or w i n d. Inflexible, 6, steam-sloop, Con:manner P. U.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Headache, Nervousness, De bility, and Giddiness in the Head cured by Holloway's Pills.— Mrs. Drinkwater, of Castle -street, Liverpool, had been in ill health for a considerable time, suffering from severe headache, nervousness, and a debilitated constitution, and frequently she would be so suddenly seized with a giddiness in the head that her strength would fail her, and she would fall to the ground. Every etlort was tried to obtain relief by following prescrip tions of medical men, but without success. She then com menced taking Holloway's Pills, and this invaluable medicine soon strengthened the tone of the stomach, renovated the con stitution, and so effectually cured the headache, that she is now enjoying the best of health.

The eight annual general meeting of the donors and members of this institution was held on Wednesday evening last, at Messrs. Trittersall'e, Hyde-park Coraer; Mr. John Deacon in the chair. Tie CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the proceed ings, called upon the secretary to read the minutes of the last annual general meeting, which having been done, The SECRETARY (Mr. W. T. Clarke) read the report of the directors for the past year, from which we take the following extract:— " The directors have much satisfaction in announcing the advancing prosperity of the institution, at the com pletion of the 11th year from its foundation, and in stating that the capital . amounts to 8,8261. 175., Three per Cent. Consols. " That an annual member, who had paid seven years subecription (in the whole fourteen guineas) had been added to the list of life annuitants, and is now in the re ceipt of 181. 4s. per annum. That during the past year they had approved of and and admitted eighteen new members. "That they had the gratification to notice a further handsome donation ( f 251. from their Noble President the Duke of Richmond, a proof of that Nobleman's generosity, and a flittering testimony of his hearty desire to benefit the institution ; and they begged to offer his Grace their test thanks for his continued liberality, a 3 also for the great advantages conferred on the insti tution by his Grace's taking the chair at the last anni versary dinner, and then so ably making known the ob jects of the institution. " That they had also the pleasure to announce the liberal donation of 501. from Mr. Joseph Henry Bardell, a life member, a proof of his generosity, and also of his warm interest in the welfare of the institution, and they thanked him for it." The treasurer's account was then read, which showed that since the last annual meeting there bad been re ceived by donations, annual and life subscriptions, and dividends, 8121. 15s. 9d., of which 4761. 12a. Id. bad been invested in the Bank, and that there was a balance of 2831. in the hands of the treasurer. The report and treasurer's account were then sub mitted to the meeting by the Chairman, and after a few suggestions from Mr. East the report was unanimously adopted. Messrs. Joshua Wembush, George Salter, Joshua East, and Henry Pritchard, were then unanimously elected directors, in the room of Messrs. William Bart ley, W. C. Markham, Richard Tattersall, and Edmund Tattersall. A vote of thanks was passed to the directors for their constant and valuable services during the past year; to the auditors, for their examination of the acco un t s; t o the treasurer (Richard Tattersall, Es q.), to whom they were deeply indebted for his great kindness and unre mitting exertions at all times to forward the interests of the institution; and to the chairman, for his able con duct in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, after acknowledging the vote of thanks, said he had then a resolution to propose, and that was a vote of thanks to the secretary, and the like gratuity that was recorded to him last year. He as sured them that, as one of their directors, he could bear testimony to the merits of their secretary in promoting, to the utmost of his power, the interests of the insti tution. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. W. T. CLARKE (the secretary), in returning thanks, said how gratified he felt that his exertions had met with their unanimous approbation. That to promote the advancement of the institution there was nothing ho could do that he would leave undone. His wish had been to give the utmost publicity to the insti tution, as the means most likely to effect the objects of it. In doing soy however, he felt it right to say that their present and able chairman, who had most carefully and diligently audited the treasurer's account, had remarked upon the expenses of " printing," and bad felt it his duty to record his opinion thereon. Now if it were the wish of the present meeting that the expenses of the printing should be lessened it should be attended to, but he considered that if they reflected for a moment on the advantages to be gained by the exten sive circulation of the books which he had got up, and the number of individuals to whom he had forwarded them, be thought the printing expenses would be trifling, although the amount might appear large. Indeed, he considered the benefits to be gained from the printing to be fourfold, not only to this fund, but to every public institution. And he thought that had it not been for the extensive circulation, of the books afforded by such printing that the fund would not now be what it was. He said they had the satisfaction of seeing the fund steadily increased, and new members now eager to join it. That his own opinion was, that whatever the out lay was for printing it was the most likely means to double the income. The CHAlumaze,then said he felt it his duty in audit ing the accounts to draw attention to the expenses re ferred to, but that he now agreed in what had been ad vanced by the secretary in justification of those expenses, and he most heartily hoped that the success so anticipated might be realized. The meeting then separated, well pleased with the report. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. • GOODWOOD RACES. The effect of a continuance of fine warm weather, a, acceptable to the farmers, whose wheat crops are mostly ripe for cutting, as it is to the pleasure• seekers located at the neighbouring watering-places, was perceptible to day in the increased numbers present, the attendance vertheless being obviously below the Goodwood aver age. The racing left nothing to desire in respect to quantity, but was remarkable only by two features of in wrest, v:z., the Steward's Cup and the. Goodwood Stakes, for both of which the fields were numerically excellent. The drat of these events was a second and an easy triumph for the German party, who do not hesitate to affirm that the Goodwood Cup would also have travelled abniad bad Montes kept sound. The Goodwood Stakes, as 19 out of 20 anticipated, the favourite won in a canter to the dismay of the sing, and more especially those who had laid against double events.

The third of the series of meetings of the electors of Lambeth was held last night, at the Rossmary Branch l'ay.rn, Southampton-street, Peckham, to bear from ➢ir. William Williams, one of the candidates, a state ment of his political opinions. The meeting, which aas very fully alended, was presided ever by Charles Jones, Esq., chairman of the Lambeth Electoral A - eciation. Mr. WILLIAMS proceeded at once to recapitulate the great political questions which had (tome under discus sion during the thirteen years he sat in Parliament, and referred to the votes he had given upon them. lie chal lenged any individual to point to a single instance in which he ever recorded his vote or raised his voice against the interests of the people. That course he was determined to continue to pursue, and he would so far give his constituents the advantage of annual Parliaments as to present himself at the close of each session to them, and if they should be dissatisfied with his conduct, he would, within twenty-four hours, place his seat at their disposal.-.--(Cheers.) Relying on his past conduct as a guarantee for the future, he was there to give a full and honest ,answer to any question that might be now pro pounded to him. In answer to several electors Mr. WILLIAMS declared himself to be in favour of a full and efficient legal re form; that he would vote, as he had already, for the abolition of the window-tax, thinking it unjust to tsx the two greatest gifts of the Creator, air and light, and lastly, that he would give his energetic support to any proposition for the total abolition of church-rates. Mr. LYON then moved, and Mr. BARKER seconded, a resolution to the effect that the meeting having heard with satisfaction the ex pl anation which Mr. Willi a ms has given of his politic a l op i nions, and viewing his con sistlnt conduct as a Member of the House of Com mons tor thirteen years, considers him eminently qua lified to represent the borough of Lambeth in Parlia ment, .and pledges itself to use every effort to secure his return. After a few words from Mr. ELKINGTON in support of the resolution, Mr. NANCE inquired whether Mr. Williams would support the points contained in the document called and known as the "People's Charter." Mr. WILLIAMS replied that when the petition in favour of the " People's Charter" was presented by Mr. Attwood, then Member for Birmingham, he (Mr. Wil liams) had moved its reception. On every occasion on which Mr. Duncombe had brought forward a motion founded on the charter, he (Mr. Williams) had supported him, and he would again support any motion for the consideration of every point embraced in that document. The resolution then passed unanimously, and thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting broke up. A second meeting was held l 'at the Lecture-hall, W a l wort h, which was also attended by Mr. Williams, and where his reception was equally en thusiastic. Mr. .1. B. Eisdell occupied the chair, and after hearing Mr. Williams at length, a similar resolu tion, moved by Mr. F. Poulton, was carried witho u t a dissentient voice. A meeting of the electors was also hold last night at the Swan T a vern, Stockwell, at which M r . J. Hi nds Palmer attended, with a strong body of his supporters. L and resolutions d ec l aratory The Hon. and Learned Gentleman addressed the meet oinighai at cfiottniseisdserfaobrltehe representation of the bor oug h were assented to. —At six o'clo c k on tion of the fin a l state IRELAND.

According to the reporter of the Dublin News letter, the Marchioness of Sligo " was most grossly in sulted .by a mob of ungrateful savages in Westport on Sunday afternoon, in cow quence of which the Marquis has issued an older that the demesne shall be in future closed against the townspeople." The same authority states that Colonel Knox Gore was violently assaulted in Batlina, and was forced to take refuge in the house of a Dr. Atkinson, whose windows were broken. Some other incideal outrages arc also mentioned, but upon the whole the nt excitement fea short of what might have been expected.

On Tuesday morning this interesting match was resumed at Lord's, when there was a very large assemblage of specta tors. It will be seen that the "Young-uns" made another long score for their second innings, namely, 151 ; so that the " Elderly Gentlemen," as the total of their two hands had amounted to 295, were called upon to go in for 248 runs to tie, and 219 to win. Merrily the ancients went to work ; and when " time " was declared, they had lost but live of their wickets, whilst they had run up a score of 108 runs. Of this total Mr. Felix made 40; Cary, 16; and Pilch, 14. The batting of Mr. Vernon must not be overlooked; he contributed 42 and 45, or V on the match, in fine style. The third day's play was, all circumstances con sidered, well attended; the old ones bore up gallantly, get ting, as the subjoined score shows, 237 in their second in nings, Alfred Mynn, the Lion of Kent," marking 69, and N.

'This novel (says the Observer) will be found fully equal to any production from the same pen that has preceded it vastly superior, indeed, to some of the authoress's preceding productions. It is less coarse than the " Widow Barnaby," less overdone than "Father Eustace,' and, generally speaking, it is more refined than the greater portion of her novels; but it is not withal any the less defi cient in power - in that close observation of character which hes rendered Mrs. Trollupe so famous in that caustic delinea tion of character which has made her writings as offensive those whom they hold up to ridicule, as 11IO1iere's " Tar ,utre" was to the Jesuits of his day, and, above all, in that . . thorough insight into middle life, which „ she possesses in a degree far beyond any other novelist, male or female, of the present day. BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Yesterday the third annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this charity was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street ; Mr. Wm. Cubitt, M.P,, in the chair. The report of the directors for the year ending 24th June, 1850, stated that during that period the contributions to the charity had exceeded the expectations of its most sanguine sup porters, though, considering the various trades with which builders were connected, the result might have been fairly anticipated. The donations and subscrip tions during the past year amounted to nearly 1,0301. ; the annual ball, which was celebrated in January, produced a profit of 981.. and at the anniversary dinner in June last upwards of 40u1. had been contributed to the funds of the society. The institution has at the present time 1,6001., in vested in the Three per Cents. Of this sum 5001. had been contributed for the special purpose of erecting almshouses, which was one of the principal objects of the founders of the society. The first election of pensioners was held in October last, when four persons were chosen from a large number of candidates, and the.,directors had resolved on another elec tion in October next, when live pensioners would be admit ted to the benefits of the society. In moving t,he. adoption of the report, the chairman said that the Builders' Benevo lent Institution was a charity which deserved a large men site of public support, and, considering the influential posi tion occupied by the ,trade, hg• did not doubt it would become one of the first, and most useful charitable institu tions in the metropolis, Mr. George Bird, the treasurer, stated that since the report had been drawn up an additional sum of 2001. stock had been purchased. A vote of thanks was then passed to the patrons and officers of the society, and the outgoing directors having been re-elected, the proceed inge -terminated.
