I MMOVAL OF THE -COURT TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT. t _ P ORT B3 IOIITH, WEDNESDAY.—The exp, , :cted arrival ,r the Court at this port this afternoon, en route to the of Wight, caused the most lively interest to be ma infested by many hundreds of the inhabit.snts of these towns and neighbourhood. At 25 minutes to three o'clock her Majesty, the Prince Uonsort, the P r i nce o f W a l es, t h e P r i ncess R oya l, P r i nce "rad, Princess Mice, and the infant Princess Helena, attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, the Countess .1 3 f Mount Edgcumbe.

Lord Adolphus th a zelarence th en t o ok the helm, and steered the barge o ."" l "Jugh the Weevil Lake (it being dead low water) to s i" Fairy, under the charge of Commander Crispin. A th e minut es were occu pi e d in embarking the whole of royal party, when the vessel was released from her bloorings, and left the harbour under the cheers of the seamen and visitors afloat, and the salutes usually fired upon such occasions. On approaching Spithead the fleet under Sir Charles Napier presented a splendid sp. etacle. The Fairy arrived at Cowes harbour a little before six O'clock, and disembarked the royal party at Trinity Osborne,-"arfh they proceeded in four carriages to where the royal standard was immediately hoisted from the summit of the high tower. The Court is believed to sojourn at Osborne until the dissolution of Parliament, and we are informed that the royal children will remain at Osborne during her Majesty's visit to Scotland. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. On Monday' we had the pleasure of hearing a most admirable and scientific lecture on Metallic Poisons, b 3 Mr. limy M. Load, the v. ell known author of several highly scientific works on natural philosophy thit , lecture being one of a series on metallic and other poisons, for the purpose of putting the public in possess sion of simple and easily executed methods of ascertain ing the presence of such of those virulent poisons as are frequently met with either from the hand of the mur derer or by accident; with which view all the most ap proved investigations of modern chemistry are brought under review, and the actions of the various tests exhi bited and explained, with the precautions to be adopted in their application. In this lecture the learned gentleman's subject was mineral poisons, more particularly arsenic, as being the most important, both from its deadly nature, and fr o m the f ac i l i ty with' which (unfortunately) it can be ob tained. _Among s t th e multitude of valuable facts which were adduced by the talented lecturer was one which must atartle ace the read er, v i z., that no less than 185 deaths took lin the years 1837 and 1838 from this deleterious material, and that from this I lamentable statistical fact has th e p roperties of the metabeen most diligently . studied, the researches resulting frlT h lvhich invesu a g n a ii tion present us with information interesting throughout. The lecture ywas important ably fdaselivbred ; the manipulations and experiments are such must do credit to both the lecturer and the establish ment. THE L ATE FATAL ACCIDENT OFF THE FAIRY STEAM-BOAT. I:1, Late l as t night Mr. J. Payn e , th e deputy-coroner, Tavern, a very interesting inquiry at the Gr e en M an -Cav ern, Darkhouse-lane, Billingsgate, on view of the body of a remarkably fine young female, aged twenty, G ame unknown, the deceased being supposed to be the ~3 " . yo ung person who w as d rowne d on Sunday evening l as t S outhwark-bridge, off the Fairy, a Woolwich steamer, alitiliiiles(tome brief account of which has already been pub- William Waterta Arnold, of 12, Water-walk, Greenwich, deposed that about half-past three o'clock tha t (Wednesday) morning he found the body of de ,,"tsed floating on the surface of the water just by Dutch ier, and nearly opposite the Custom-house. It was high Water at the time, and witness rowed up to it and tiled it on shore. Deceased had no bonnet on, nor bad she a shawl, but with these exceptions she was completely attired, having a fine muslin de laine dress on, tflannel petticoat, a white petticoat, a nd a pair of imers, with a brooch in the dregs and two gold ear rings. None of the linen was marked so as to lead to an identificati on o f the body, but the description of the dress ti precis e ly co i ncided with the account at the police station of the party who was lost on Sunday. George Arnold, son of the last witness, corroborated the testimony given above. City policeman, 166, William Byford, the beadle of Mary -at-Hill, and James Martin, city police-sergeant "I, Were examined at considerable length, but none of theta could give such information as might eventually lead to an identification, and, after a protracted inves- Nation, Mr. PAYNE rmarked, that this inquiry was one of a bloat n impo r t ant character, because, if the deceased were - " e Person represented to have been lost off the Fairy on Sunday last, it would seem that her death had arisen ora one of two causes. viz., that the steamer was so ex cessively crowded as to endangn the lives of the public in such a manner, and which he regretted to say was but onthe case with the majority of the vessels ~ the Thames; or, on the other hand, deceased may !laye been pushed over. In the latter instance, it would be their duty, in common justice, to investigate the 'batter thoroughly; and with regard to the overloading of s teamboats, he (Mr. Payne) considered it of such Public importance that he was determined the present e ,ase should have a most rigid inquiry, and would, there fore, in consequence of the lateness of the hour, sug- Fen to the jury an adjournment, in the hope that the "Y would in the interim be identified. SACRED "HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The second per-. Tormance of Spohr's s' Fall of Baby ion," conducted by the composer, takes place at Exeter-hall, to-morrow rid2y) evening. ETON COLLEGE CLIAPEL.—The Queen has been graciously pleased to contribute loot., and Prince Albert 401 ., towards the restoration of this sacred edifice. The Queen Dowager and the Duchess of Gloucester have also subscribed liberally. Sir Bellingham Graham has been elected Vice- Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, in the room of the Marquis of Donegal. Mr. Rush, the New Minister of the United States of•Arnerica to the Court of France, has arrived in Paris. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.---A wonderful instance of providential escape from drowning through the gallant ` o aduct of a clergyman, occur re d on M on d a y we ek. about six o'clock on the morning of that day William Da labourer, residing in the pari s h o f S ou th P oo l, , went down to the Salcombe river to get a boat, which was moored out in the tide beyond his reach. He stripped himself, but not being able to swim, he collected two or three oars, a spar, and gangboard, which he placed under his chest without lashing them together; then Paddling with his hands endeavoured to reach the boat. The moment, however, he got into the run of the tide, out of his depth, the timbers parted company, and he Was at once left to his own resources. For a moment or two he continued above water, but just as he was sink ing, for the second time, the Rev. E. L. Davies, of Hot- Well House, near Kingsbridge, who had arrived at the spot, plunged into the water with his clothes on, but before he could reach him the drowning man had disap peared. Mr. Davies then took one of the oars which Iv as floating and pushed it down upon the man, whom he c ould see moving to and fro. The poor fellow grasped it and rose to the surface. Sufficient f life was left to en able him to keep his hold till Mr. Davies vainedtrchse 81shore, which he did by towing the man after him. — West 'LIE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BERMONDSEY. sensation which it is impossible to describe, has been created throughout Bermondsey, since the perpetration 132. the dreadful murder and suicide, in Hickman's Folly; d uring yesterday, so great was the crowd in front of the house in which the tragedy occurred, that the police W th ere obliged to be kept there on duty.

Upon examining the neck of thr icer, there are no fewer than three gashes in his b iat ",t, one of which is very extensive. Mr. Johnson, a szt .,;ner, who lives opposite, found a letter, which it is d I ", was written by Parker, and which alluded to the ._re,adful affair.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—TiIe Amphitrite, 26, was commissioned at this port this morning by the ap pointment to her of Captain T. R. Eden (1844). She is to have a complement of 240 men, which, we imagine, she will not be long in picking up, men having a strong feeling is favour of small vessels of this class, and Cap tain - Eden being a highly esteemed and generally liked officer. The Amphitrite was a 42-gun frigate, built at Bombay in 1816, after the lines of the French Leda. She is of 1,064 t.,ns, and will carry a very heavy arma ment. This is her first commission as a razee corvette. An order has been down for some days past to enter men for the Cambrian, 36, at this port, which is expected daily to be put in commission by Captain the Hon. 11. Keppell, purported to carry a broad pendant to the East India and China station, to relieve the Fox, 42, Commo dore Sir H. Black wood, and not to go to New South Wales, as stated on Monday. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, has at length got her reduced complemk-nt, men having exhibited an alacrity to join since Commander Aldham has been ap pointed to her. THE COAST DEFENCE BRIGADE. We were the first to mention the appointment of Com mander Jerningham, of the coast guard service, some weeks since as an additional commander to the Excellent for organizing the coast guard men into a brigade for the defence of onr shores in the event of an emergency, and for other purposes. The plan of organizing this highly important body for the above objects is the sug. gestion of the Noble First Lord of the Admiralty, the Earl of Auckland. The drilling of the coast guard body is after the prin ciples taught in the Excellent, and has commenced with great vigour under the superintendence of the Controller- General, Captain Houston Stewart, C. 13., a gallant and most meritorious officer, and Commander Jeruingham. An instructing battery has already been thrown up at Cambridge, Isle of Wight, and the system has com menced ail along the coast in good earn es t. I t i s the in tention to establish instructing batteries all round the kingdom. Even now, from all appearances of the pro gress made, and the manifest good-will of the corps, the excellence of the system, and the indefatigable example of the officers, it is most clear that within six months from the commencement of the plan we shall h ave at least 1,000 good and able me n available for the service, afloat or ashore, when called upon. This admirable force would at once man two or three block ships a n d gun-boats, the latter no mean auxilliary to a force, espe cially in shallow water. The Excellent is to afford every facility required for carrying out this system. Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon the plan and its noble originator, nor for the highly judicious selection of the officers appointed to carry it into execution. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—We can now state confidently that Parliament will be prorogued by her Majesty in person on Thursday, the 22d inst. THE CHESTERFIELD MURDER.—The town of Ches terfield has again been thrown into a state of excitement by the apprehension of Mr. It. Statham, a master butcher, charged with abetting in the murder of George Collis. A fortnight ago Anthony Launt, a butcher, was apprehended on the same charge. E v id ence h as now been given against Mr. Statham (who found the money, and evinced great interest in the defence of Platts, ex ecuted as one of the murderers of Collis). A witness swears , to seeing Mr. St at h am i n t h e yard at the back of the shop,and Morley andiin atm immediately Morley 's shop, and t o certa i n conversations passing between i n him eatetilmeaflte) l r a tts and "scuffle" Colli s and " blow" were heard, an d the sh y op door • the barg d to. He also swears to Statha m remov i ng hii do% e from j the . yard into the house, and to seeing him looking through , . a pane of glass into the shop. I n fact, if the l. evidence v‘ be correct, it would seem that Statham as in re aider and abettor of the murder. H e was takenal reality an into cus tody on Monday. When the war rant was read over to him in his shop. he made no reply, b ut accompanied the policeman to prison. He was on T ues d ay morning taken before the magistrate, when the wit nesses examined at Platt's trial were again examined, and the new e v id ence adduced. At the close t he Ma y or said the bench f e l t bound to commit the p risoner to take his trial at th e next assizes. An attorney , wh o appeared for the prisoner, asked the magistrates to take bail, but they . peremptorily refused refused to do so, " unless c om p elled b y a judge. Stat ham said the evidence (as regarded himseli) was false, was and that it " a bard caw." He was taken to the county gaol at Derby on Tuesday afternoon, and both he and L,unt will be arraigned at th e ensuing assizes. HORRIBLE BARBARITY.—MichaeI Halloran, of Bal lycahane, is committed to the county gaol en a verdict of the Coroner's inquest, for the murder of his son, a boy aged eight years, who had been sickly and unable to leave the house. On Friday the poor child was found to have soiled his bed, wh'.ch so exasperated the father that he pulled and struck him ; then, making the tongs red hot in the fire, he caught his neck between the prongs, and squeezed hie - i. On the naked back and sides he also applied the burning torture, and the ht Ipless victim did not long survive it. The execrable monster was appre hended by High•constable Slattery.—Limerick Chronicle. SUDDEN DEATH.--Yesterday afternoon a gentle manly-looking man, about fifty years of age, was ob served to stagger and fa!! in Bow-street, Ceveut-garden. He was assisted into a chemist's, when it was found that he wag labouring tullicr the effects of a e., ~- e's :acleil. The usual remedies were used, but without effect. Nothing being found on the body to lead to identification, it was 1 removed to St. Giles's workhouse. The thermometer stood from eleven A.M. to six Pal, in the shade, at 89 degrees9f_E4h,renheit, sad in the min at 100 degrees, COURT CIRCULAR. Mr. Charles Buller, Judge Advocate General, had an audience of the Queen yesterday at Buckingham Palace, and submitted to her Majesty the proceedings of some courts-martial.

Their Royal Righnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Lady Augusta Cadogan and Mr. Edmond Mildmay, honoured Lord Foley with their company at dinner, yesterday evening, at his residence in Grosvenor-square. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Excise, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday. Sir Thomas Freemantie, Chairman of the Customs, had also an interview with the Right Hon. Baronet, at his official residence in Downing-street. THE NAVIGATION-LAWS. The Select Committee appointed by the House of Commons to inquire into the operation of the navigation laws met on Tuesday in Committee•room No 2. There were present Mr. Milner Gibson (Chairman), Mr. Ri cardo, Hon. Mr. Liddell, Sir Howard Douglas, Sir G. Clerk, Mr. T. Baring, Alderman Thompson, Mr. Hume, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Lyall, and Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Richmond was recalled and cross-examined by Mr. Ricardo—He considered protection indispensable to the prosperity of British shipping, and he thought the reci procity treaties should be repealed, and matters placed as they were prior to the signing of those treaties. Speaking as a shipowner, he certainly should have no ob jection to see the Prussian trade stopped. Perhaps the exclusion of the French ships would be an inconvenience to the shipowners, and still more to the merchants. But he objected to this line of examination, because he thought these were questions more for the consideration of the Committee than for the witnesses. He iA as willing to answer any question of fact, but not of hypothesis. As an individual, he should have no objection that all the goods going from England to America should be carried in American ships, and that all goods coming from America to England should be brought in English ships, and he knew then that the balance would be greatly in our favour. He thought, upon the whole, that it would be for the advantage of England that the same principle should be carried out with regard to all other nations ; for, in fact, that was so at present with regard to America and France ; Spain and Italy were fast following the example. At the same time he had no wish to see these extreme opinions carried out. By the Chairman—He did not see why the navigation laws should not apply to iron ships as well as to wood ships. It was true we could at present build iron ships cheaper than in any other country, and that might in duce for, igners to build their iron ships in this country ; but he was satisfied this would only be for a time. If it were proposed to abolish the navigation-laws, and to give the shipowners compensation in money, that might meet his views as a shipowner extremely well, but it would be very injurious to the country at large ; for it would re move ship-building out of the country altogether. The shipowners would then " sell their birthright for a mess of pottage."—(Laughter.) The protection now given by the navigation-laws was so trifling, in consequence 01 their mutilated state, that any compensation the ship owners might claim for an abrogation of them would be little or nothing. The room was then cleared, and strangers were ex cluded for some time. On our return, _ _ Mr. Grieve, working shipwright, was examined by Mr. Liddell—He had been a shipwright for the last 45 years, and had a general knowledge of the practice of ship-building in the various yards of London. He was satisfied from what he bad seen that foreign shipwrights were not so good or so quick as Englishmen. He little expected ever to have been asked the question, whether English shipwrights received a day's pay for the third of a day's work? Mr. Browning must have been mad at the time when he made such an unfounded statement. If his information was no no more correct on other points than on this, it was worth little. The price which was paid for shipwright's labour did not exceed 455. to 50s. per ton. By Mr. Ricardo--That would be equal to Gs. per day, and some smaller ships had not paid that. By Mr. Liddell—As a proof that English shipwrights could do more than foreigners, he might mention that two East India ships, the Duke of Cornwall, 500 tons, and the Coromandel, 600 tons, had been overhauled, caulked, shipped, and coppered, in five days. After some other observations illustrative of the activity of English shipwrights, he said he never heard of foreign dock yards turning out their work in such quick time. He denied Mr. Browning's statement that the Ship wrights' Combination advertised their meetings, and he indignantly repudiated that witness's other state ment, that their combination had led to secret assassi nation ; that was the worst and most unfounded of all Mr. Browning's calumnies. He had been connected with the association for the last forty-fire years, and had never heard of so much as a common assault arising out of it. He denied also that the shipwrights were un grateful towards their employers. When Mr. Brown ing said the men had been ungrateful to Mr. Green, the extensive shipowner, the witness (Mr. Grieve) went to that gentleman, for whom he had been working the greater portion of his time, and asked Mr. Green if that was correct. Mr. Green turned round, and stared at him, and asked who is Mr. Browning? I don't know anything about him ; he had better mind his own business, not mine. The witness had also waited on Mr. Henry Green, who oho said ho knew nothing about Mr. Browning. For the last twenty two years there had been no act on the part of the Shipwrights to coerce or intimidate their employers. Their unions partook very much of the nature of benefit societies, He should say, for the last twenty-five years, that the average rate of wages had been about 355. per week ; of late they had been less, and since Christmas he had not himself averaged 21s. per week, and he was sure ho had worked as much as half the shipwrights of London. By Mr. Ricardo—He thought the foreigners could not do as much work as Englishmen. He was not afraid of giving a foreigner one side of a ship and taking the other half himself; but he should be very sorry to see it, for he thought there was enough of shipwrights already. The question had never come before the union whether they would allow foreigners to work hero or not. By Mr. Mitchell—The Shipwrights' Union had at present from 5,0001. to 6,0001. in hand. There had been no material alteration in the rate of wages for the last higherlll r . now Mitchell—Aretha twenty years. Provisions had not much fallen off, as he would show by a table of his present expenditure. you time award that the li p s r t o t s 6 ' than at anyinsioynesarasr?e fir. rGi eve—l am going to show that we have been running into debt. Mr. Ricardo —Then wages do not dependthe • on price of provisions. Mr. Grieve—We have found that they do not. Mr. Mitchell —And do you say that the question was never mooted among you what you would do if the masters reduced your wages? Mr. Grieve—We never stirred the question, because we never heard any intention on the part of the masters to reduce the wages. The wages at Sunderland were 14s. ad. a week, which, allowing for the cost of living in Sunderland was better than the rate of wages here. A Sunderland shipwright paid Si. a year for his house— witness paid 13/. A Sunderland shipwright got a ton of coals for 7s. 6d.—witness paid 275. The price of labour was nominally cheaper, therefore, in Sunderland than in London, but he was satisfied the London wages could not be reduced in accord ance w i t h t h e rate oiving in London. By Mr. Ricardo—Had you not better work regularly at a low rate of wages, than irregularly at a high rate? Mr. Grieve—Certainly not. Ile knew it was the opinion of some political economists that they ought only to be permitted to live—to the credit of his em ployers he must say, they did not take that view of the case. By Mr. Ricardo—Tie had bAen requested by twenty or thirty of his friends among the shipwrights to attend here and give evidence, in order to rebut the calumnies of Mr. Samuel Browning. lie was not deputed by the Union. lie was not an officebearer of the Union, but he was a member. The Committee then adjourned to Thursday next at one o'clock, which we understand will be the last day of the C ommittee's - meetin g . We understand also, that while strangers were excluded, it was agreed, atter some discussion, to give no opinion of their own upon the subject of the navigation-laws, but content them selves with reporting the evidence to the House. MURDER BY A A st was held inquest on Monday last at Killeenadenna, near Loughrea, by Thomas Walsh, RFT, coroner, on view of the body of a child, nine years old, named APHugo, who was killed by a maniac named Fahy, while in a frantic state. He has been subject to occasional fits of insanity, and was al lowed to be at large, anti unfortunately he met this child while labouring under one of his delirious moods, and dashed his brains out with an imme nse stone. A ver dict was returned in accordance with the facts stated, and the unhappy man was removed t o G a l way gaol.— Galway Vindica(or. • , HAYFlELD.—Accorqing to appearance, there will be a rather short crop of Lops, the vermin inavitz in creased very fast within thee©. latt few d ap. 1.1 1 4 thence is general through 'most of the plantatious ; a n d should it continue much Linger wi!hout a change, the crop will fall very short. Thu potatoes continue to look well, and all other crops are progressing favourably,— Brigliton Guardian. HOP INTELLIGENCE. - BATTLE.—The hop bines are becoming innumerably thick with insects, even to the extremity of the branches, which may be seen in the most fertile brooks, as well as the uplands. Tho distinction given between the brook and upland is, that some growers have no choice of hop land on their farms, they therefore plant more elevated spots, which are not so congenial to their growth—those pieces generally are the most sickly. The diseases in plants originate in a different way from what some farmers and horticulturists represent. Insects are not the cause, but the effect; the cause is atmospherical, and at certain temperatures a fermentative and putrefactive effluvia is disengaged, which spontaneously produces minute objects existing in the animal kingdom, and their ravages, when combined with the bad habitude of the plant, hastens its destruction. Some have asserted that the disease in the potato was caused by insects, but probably, ere long more novel notions may be entertained. The hops at present have a very green colour, though they are so much infested, and if the succulent property of the plant does not get too much exhausted by atmo spheric changes, then, in well manured and cultivated plantations the animal kingdom will not have sufficient power to predominate over the vegetable. BURWASIL—We think the hops have slightly im proved during the past week, particularly those in the " uplands." There is less vermin among them, and not quite so much honey. The lateral shoot, though net vigorous, is of good colour. BECKLEY.—The hops in this parish, in some gardens, are not so good as l as t wee k ; t h ey aro more infested with fly, lice, and honey, and are turning black. In other gardens they keep in a growing and thriving con dition. BREDE.—The hops in this and the neighbouring parishes are a little improved since last week, and are in a growing state, excepting the first year's poling, which are quite at a stand. The lice are still followieg the young shoots, and the niggers eating them up. There still remains honey•dew in must of the grounds. BRIGHTLING.—The hops in this parish have improved generally since this day week, and certainly are clearer from vermin and honey-dew, Diellington parish is in an improving state this week. EASTHOTHLY.—The accounts of the hops in this dis trict are various and contradictory ,• while some planters affirm that the bine is in a most flourishing state, and prom ses fair to produce an abundant crop, without any appearance of vermin, others assert that their planta tions are covered with vermin, with honey•dew dropping from the leaves, which are curling up and turning black, and unless an alteration takes place soon, a blight must inevitably be the consequence. Another fortnight will set the matter at rest which parties are correct in their hops in t l h a i s s t neighbourhood conjecture. havee Li A R m D a N d but STR E ET t little — P r r o h g e r ess considered to be improving, though very slowly. HORSMONDEN.—A decided improvement has taken place in many of our plantations during the week, the vermin being nearly all dead. The bines have assumed a much healthier hue, and, aided by the hot days and genial nights, are in a very growing state. We have still some grounds that are very foul, and from which we are not likely (unless a change soon takes place) to get anything appruuching a crop. MAvexeLre—The hops are in a considerably worse condition than last week, the vermin being more nume rous, and the leaves fast falling off. Without a favour able change the crop in this locality must fall very short. NEWICK.—Oar hops are now in a very precarious state ; the gardens that were promising last week have much gone off; we have much vermin and honey dew, and unless a decided change take plac e , we can expect but a very slight crop. NINFIELD.—We have, with the exception of one plantation, a considerable increase in vermin, and more honey- dew than last week. There was a heavy fog on Saturday night, and the next day was very sultry; it is the opinion here that we shall not grow a very large crop. NORTHIAIII.—We are still in a growing and thriving state, but owing to the immense quantity of vermin with which the greater portion of our grounds aro infested, there remains much doubt as to the probability of a fair crop. ROTHERFIELD.—The hops in this locality are consi dered still to be in a very precariou s state. Many gardens are decidedly in a worse condition since our last report. RYE. —Notwithstanding some of the plantations pre sent a rather unfavourable appearance in this district, in consequence of the heney-dew and vermin, in other' grounds the plant appears to be in a very thriving condi tion, throwing out branches and giving indications of a productive crop. TUNBRIDGE.—The bine is strong; th ere is evidently an improvement since our last account, the weather during the last few days having been very favourable, and the young shoots looking very healthy. lICKFIELD.—The hops in t his parish, on many of the ious state Should low grounds, are stilt in a very. precar . we have a continuance of this fine warm weather, we at some places, and grow may yet get through the blight a good many hops.

The following ars the more material and interesting passages of the petition presented to the House of Com mons, and ordered on Saturday to be printed with the Votes (on motion of Mr. Hume). It is entitled " The humble petition of the undersigned brewers and others in and near the metropolis," humbly showeth, That a Bill is now pending in your Honourable House to pro• vide for the Conservation of the River Thames, &c. That by the said Bill it is proposed that all the powers and authorities, rights, and privileges, which are now vested in, or may be exercised by, her Majesty, in right of the Crown, and by the Mayor and Commonalty of the city of London, by prescription, usage, charter, or Act of Parliament, or otherwise, with regard or relation to the conservancy and the preservation and regulation of the:River Thames, should be vested,in the conservators thereby to be appointed, &c. That the Corporation of the city of London claim to have the power and authority, right and privilege, of levying, and continuing t o levy, ce itain dues on the corn, malt, potatoes, fruit, salt, coals, and other articles of consumption brought into the River Thames, either from parts of this country or from foreign countries. That your petitioners, being brewers in and near the metropolis, are much interested in the charges and dues imposed by the Corporation of London upon the malt harassing, and corn brought into th e Th ames f or their use.

Because corn coming from Hertfordshire by way of the River Lea is totally exempt from the Corporation dues. 3d. Because foreign grain, being for th e most p art delivered in the docks, is chargeable with a compara tively insignificant duty. 4th. Because flour, a manufactured article, whether foreign or British, pays no dues, and is under no incon venient restraints ; while malt, another manufactured article, is subjected to very heavy dues, and unnecessary and harassing restraints. sth. Because the various dues and charges levied by the Corporation on malt coming into the Thames are unnecessarily heavy, and enhance the price of such malt above that which can be brought to London by railway or otherwise than the River Thames. 6th. Because, under the present system of levying the dues, all malt brought into the River Thames in sacks is turned out of the sacks to be meted, and is then put into the sacks again, during which process it suffers a and much con siderable loss by injury and otherwi se, , ex pense and loss of time is also necessarily incurhe d u es received re. a That before any Act is passed re latin g to t conser vation of the Thames, or the fees a ndby the Corporation of London, inquiry s h ou ld into the be madento the operation of the present s)stem, a nd a plan based • .• upon equitable and convenient primaliles adopted instead thereof, by which the injury and iticonvenience which your petitioners complain of would be remov le i ed, and a enterests great benefit conferred on the inrcanti genet ally..

From the reports o f Mr. Charlier, it that the appeared the com mittee presented by number of cases adjudicated upon since the D ecem b er - forty n ine,comprising seventy. me , ung was two persons, of whom six were beyond recovery, and seven were attempted suic:des. The number of cases in Hyde Park alone was thirteen, of which twelve were successfully treated, four being attempted .suicides. The medals fur courage and intrepidity in saving human l i f e were next awarded. Lieutenant Woolridge, of her Majesty's ship Spy, was presented with a silver medal for savinc , the life of a seaman at Sheerness. Mr. Ralph Bates had a similar reward for saving a boy from drowning in ti river in Derbyshire. Lieutenant Hire, of her Majesty's ship Heels, also bad a silvermedal for r escu i ng a man in danger of drowning. G . aptain Archib a ld C ameron, who distinguished himself so nobly at th e l oss of the Sirius steamer, was honoured with a similar token of gratitude. Captain Brnaruino Casni, who rescued the passengers of the Tweed, had a silver medal, and his crew each a bronze medal. The last on the list was Police-constable Brown, of Clenmel, who gained a silver medal. A rote of thanks to tho chairman concluded the PreceediDge. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. CITY OF LONDON. On Tuesday evening a very crowded meeting of eke tors in the wards of Cripplegate Without and Cripple gate Within was held at Dixon's Repository in the Barbican. On the motion of Mr. S. G. HALE, seconded by Mr. J. STEVENSON, ti Mr. PATTISON came forward, and made a declaration of his political sentiments. As these are already well known, it is unnecessary here to repeat them. His ob servations were cordially received by the meeting. Sir G. LARPENT followed. After stating his views upon the different questions at present engaging public attention, he said that he would conclude his observations in the words of the Noble Lord at the head of her Majesty's Government, whose sentiments, in his absence, he (Sir G. Larpent) thereby conveyed to them.—(Con fusion, and cries of " We don't want his sentiments.") The Noble Lord had said that he would adopt no prin ciples that was injurious to the commerce or the industry of the country, and that he would do all in his power to promote a union, not in 'name but in heart and spirit, with Ireland, and that he would firmly support the principles of civil and religious liberty.—(Cheers and hisses.) These were the sentiments of Lord J. Russell, with whom he (Sir G. Larpent) hoped to act if they placed him in the honourable position of their repre sentative in Parliament.—(Much confusion.) He con cluded his speech by stating that he had no objection to support the vote by ballot if it was found impossible by any other means to protect the voter in the independent exercise of his franchise.—(Cheers.) Baron ROTHSCHILD, who was received with loud cheering, at the end of which a voice was heard saying, " Give him another just to freshen him up," then came forward, and thanked the meeting very sincerely for the very kind reception they had given ahrrsietns_(C him.—(Cheers.) him. It was not his intention on that occa sion to enter into details as to his political sentiments, and he trusted that they would excuse him if he stated only briefly to them the principles that would guide him, should he be honoured by their choice as a representative for their great city in Parliament.—(Cheers.) He then referred to the great advantages which had arisen from the operation of free trade principles, in the introduc tion of foreign corn during a period of unexampled scarcity. The sound condition of the country was proved by the manner in which they had paid for that large importation of food from abroad, for had the country not been in a healthy state the importation could not have taken pace.—(Cheers) The very favourable statement of the revenue which bad appeared in the newspapers was also an indication of the sound state in which the country was ; and when he mentioned this circumstance he was sure they would concur with him in his approbation of free trade principles, which it was almost unn. cessary for him to say he had always sup ported.—(Cheers.) The only other point in regard to which questions had been put to him was the religious question. Indeed, that appeared to him the great ques tion which now agitated the public mine, and %%ice re spect to which general interest was felt.—(Cheers.) It unfortunately vnd e d with that his candid opinion on the subject was against S stwhi o ta(u M ssae e toeo k ndf n e, e ha w wilsti t it h hob a ur t ogr h thehg i :harirosdpcvianitneoi candidates a w uhtpi o :s u htn l b d ehi e seti v d e cwe n o go further, and en dowments.—(Cheers.) Lie did not think that money should be taken out of the pockets of one pro fessing set to . the advantage of any'otber, and he should therefore be prepared to vote against any grant of money for the endowment of churches or for any religious pur pose.—(A voice, " That is a distinct, honest, and candid opinion, Baron.") He did not think it was necessary for him to say more; but he was ready to answer any ques tions that might be put to him. He would be happy to devote a great part of his time to the electors, for all his interests lay in this great city, and he had none that were not intimately connected with theirs.—(Cheers.) He would with pleasure give his best energies to the establishment of a Hall or Chamber of Commerce in London, which was almost the only large city in which there was none ; and he recommended the electors to ask his opponents to contribute to that object.—(A voice, "Is it the Corporation?") He was not speaking of the Corporation—(Laughter)—but he wished them to ask their friend Alderman Johnson to make himself Presi dent for that purpose, and he had no doubt that he would manage it well.—(Laughter.) If they elected him their representative, he pledged himself to support such an object as much as lay in his power. As to the extension of the suffrage, there was at present before Parliament a Bill which would give to the electors great facilities, for it was very obnoxious to them to be obliged to go to the churchwardens and attend to their chureh-rates. It was also very disagreeable for the occupier of a house not to have a vote.—(Cheers.) With regard to the ballot, he was decidedly against it, because he was satis fied of its uselessness.—(Cries of " Oh, oh !") For instance, in France , where it was adopted, he did not think that a voter was more independent than in this country.—(Hear, hear.) If they could give him a reason superior to that practical case for adopting the ballot, he would be most happy to do so.—(A Voice—" How do you vote by ballot at the Reform Club ?") That was in the case of personal friendship, whereas political votes ought only to be given for the good of the country. If they did him the honour to elect him as their representa tive, he would attend to their interests, and from the experience he had collected by a close attendance to commercial affairs he hoped to be useful.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN having here invited any member of the ward present to put questions, A working man asked whether the Liberal candidates would support the Corporation in giving employment to labourers as a matter of privilege at advanced wages, instead of coming into the labour market ? Mr. PATTISON said, that if the Corporation had such a power, it was extremely improper, and he would vote against the practice if he had a voice in the Corporation. Baron Rothschild and Sir G. Larpent having con curred with Mr. Pattison, Another Inhabitant of the Ward asked if the Baron would support a Bill for the reform of the City Corpo ration ? The BARON said he would support a Bill for that pur pose. A Member of the Ward then put the question, whe ther the candidates present would support the Govern ment in opposing the clause for allowing old married pauper couples to live together in the workhouse? Sir G. LArtPENT said, his opinion was, that the poor should bo treated without harshness. He had not, how. ever, attended to the clause in question, and would not pledge himself with respect to it.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") Mr. PATTISON said, that had he been in the House of Commons on the night that Ministers were beaten on Mr. P. Borthwick's clause, he would have voted with the majority.—(t)heers.) Mr. S. BEETON then moved and Mr. S. READ seconded the following resolution : _ " That this meeting is very strongly of opinion that Lord John Russell, the consistent and long-tried friend of liberal and enlightened Government, and the able ad vocate of the rights and liberties of the people, is well entitled to the cordial support t ot* the electors of these wards; and this meeting having heard the opinions of Mr. James Pattison, who has hitherto so faithfully served the constituency of this city, also of Sir G.Larpent, Bart., and Baron Lionel de Rothschild, hereby declare their approval of the sentiments they have expressed, and their determination to use every possible exertion to secure the return of the four Liberal candidates as the representatives of the City of London in the Commons House of Parliament." The reading of this resolution was attended with great confusion from the objection raised by many of those present to the introduction of Lord John Russell's name. The cry was " Not Lord John ; we won't have him " " The other three, but not Lord John." These cries were continued during Mr. Beeton's address, the greater part of which was occupied by a panegyric on the Noble Lord. The resolution having been seconded, Mr. MORLEY, of Wood-street, rose, and proceeded amidst considerable uproar to attack the Government education measure, and Lord John Russell for his part therein. He concluded by recommending those who thought with him to oppose the resolution. The CHAIRMAN then called for a show of hands for and against the resolution, and declared it carried. The number of opponents, however, was considerable. After the usual complimentary vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting terminated. MAR YLEBONE. A meeting of the electors of this borough was held Tuesday at the Silver Cup, Cromer -street, Gray's Inn road, for the purpose of hearing from Mr. D. W. Harvey a statement of his claims for the representation of the borough in the ensuing Parliament. Mr. Stockton having been called to the chair, addressed the meeting in a few sentences eulogistic of Mr. D. W. Harvey, and then introduced that Hon. Gentleman, who commenced by saying that Mr. Sergeant Shee was not entitled to the superiority over him, because Maryle bone was entitled to call upon only tried persons to re present the borough, and not new candidates who had never been enabled to put their promises in force. A resolution was proposed and agreed to almost unani mously in favour of Mr. Harvey's claim, and the meet ing then broke up. Last evening a numerous and respectable meeting of this borough was held at the Marquis Camden, Prior street, Camden-town, Mr. Howarth in the chair, for the purpose of hearing the political sentiments of Lord Dudley C. Stuart. His Lord-hip spoke at some length in explanation of his opinions and of his conduct when in Parliament. It had been said by Mr. Sergeant Shee that though he (Mr. Shee) had not yet done anything to signalise himself as a fit person to represent the borough in Parliament, it was because he had not been in Parlia ment, and had therefore had no opportunity, and that the only difference between him and Lord D. Stuart was, that the latter had been in Parliament, had had the opportunity, and had still done nothing. Now he (Lord Dudley Stuart) thought it could hardly be said that he had done nothing, when be had always taken an active part in favour of all liberal measures , and against all of a contrary tendency, and had also taken so prominent a part in a matter which was in the highest degree gree im portant to England and to the who le civ ilized world, and which, whether important or not, must beinterest ing to every right-minded Englishman — t he affairs of Poland.—(Great applause.) His Lordship dwelt at some length upon the importance of the establishment of the freedom and nationality of Poland, as setting up, in the middy of Europe, a free and liberal nation— (Cheers) —and conclude d detailing the circumstances under which the ballot between himself, Mr. Sergeant Shee, and Mr. D. W. Harvey had been agreed upon. He considered that that ballot, which will take place on Monday next, would set the whole question at rest. If he bud a majority he r.t a ild consid e r seated ; I if not, he would mare his bow and. retirc.--(C6 t. ,,, ;. ) Isuick; propustd the filo& rvsolutiuri, u.bd Mr. BROAD, in seconding it, took occasion to observe, that so far from " doing nothing," his Lo r d s hi p had, while in Parliament, actively supported and voted for fourteen important liberal measures, viz, :—Reform Corporoti9n Reform, church R e t ara , 4ppropriatim of Irish Church Revem. lea, Abolition of Slavery, Abolition of Impressment, Abol 'ition of Jewish Disabilities, Poor law Amendmen , Al, , olition of Property Qualifica tion, &c. was to the effect, that Lord The resolution, which Dudley C. Stuart was f tit and proper person to repre sent this borough in Parlik.'ment, and that the meeting t him at the ballot and the pledge themselves to support poll, was carried unanimously. After giving " three times three ).7nd one in " for a e Noble Lord, and passing a vote of thk nks to the Chair man, the meeting separated. LIVERPOOL. Mr. Cardwell has published his address, offoing him• s'lf as a candidate for the representation of Liverp_'ol• The Hon. Gentleman was introduced on Chang. at hal& past three yesterday afternoon, by Mr. Charles Law rence, the chairman of Lord Sandon's committee, Sir Thomas Brancker, and others of his friends, and x plained his views more fully than it was possible to do in a mere written address. BOROUGH OF CARLOW. We understand that Major Layard has had a most successful canvass. The Gallant Major, in the first instance, pledged himself to the poll, and we are happy to learn that his return, which for a moment appeared doubtful, has now become almost a certainty. IPSWICH. (From the Bury Post.) Mr. Austin having declined the invitation to become a candidate for this borough, Mr. Hugh Adair has an nounced his intention of going to the poll. Mr. Lane Fox has retired from the representation, and Mr. J. Chevalier Cobbold has issued an address to the electors. as`the second Conservative candidate. It is rumoured that Mr. Hugh Adair will give place to Allen Ransome, on the Liberal side, and that all parties will unite to do honour to two men to whom the town owes so much. KINGSTON ON HULL. (From the Hull Packet.) The requisition to Mr. M. T. Baines has received nearly 600 signatures, including those of the most.in fluential men of all political parties in the borough. Mr. Clay is the Liberal candidate. LINCOLN. The present Members, Colonel Sibthorp and Mr. W. Rickford Collett, are engaged in an active canvass of the city, as are also their opponents at the last general elec tion, Sir Bulwer Lytton, Bart., and Mr. Charles Seely, " the citizen caniidate." All four parties are acting in dependently of each other. In consequence of a para graph copied from a local print into most of the public pspev, giving the name of Mr. Weston Cracrolt as one of the candidates talked of, that gentleman has pub lished f$ letter, stating that he never had any idea of of fering himself as a candidate. Some other names were also introduced with just as little foundation. MALDON. (From the Essex Standard.) On Tuesday last Mr. Lennard made his first appear ance at Maldun as one of the candidates at the ensuing election. Messrs. Dick and Waddington have canvassed the town, and met with such success as to convince them that their success is certain. They are still canvassing, and are determined to pay their personal respects to every voter within the seven miles. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. JULY 10.—Mr. Ellison has declined the requisition of the Conservative electors to become a candidate for the representation of this borough, on account of his ad• vertex d years and declining health. This intelligence was received yesterday morning, and was commnicated to the committee assembled at the Turf Hotel, when a strong feeling was unanimously expressed to bring out Mr. Hodgson, the Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed, and brother of Mr. Hinde. A deputation was accordingly appointed to wait on Mr. Hodgson, who readily acceded to their request, and returned with the deputation to the committee-room, where he was received with en thusiastic cheering. In little more than an hour afterwards his address was printed and circulated, and an active canvass on his behalf in progress. Mr. Ord and Mr. lleadlam attended a meeting of the Roman Catholics yesterday evening, and satisfied the principal members of that body as to the liberality of their views on the questions more immediately affect ing the members of that community, and a vote was passed pledging the meeting to use every exertion to secure their election. This step, however, has been at tended by a corresponding loss among the dissenters, who are organising a formidable opposition to Mr.llead lam.'s return. NORWICH. (From the West Norfolk Herald.) The Tories seem to be satisfied with the Marquis of Douro, and the Whigs are content with the promises of Mr. Peto, and there is little doubt that a compromise will be attempted. PEMBROKE. (From the Welshman.) On Friday last Sir John Owen, Bart., M.P. for the Pembroke boroughs, arrived at Tenby per Phoenix steamer. His reception was anything but cheering. READING. A new candidate has just come forward in the person of Mr. F. Pigott, of Heckfield, near Reading, who has addressed the electors and issued the following announce ment. There are now, besides, three candidates in the field, Mr. C. Russell and Lord Chelsea, the present Mem bers, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, each of whom is per sonally canvassing the electors. " Gentlemen,—Being solicited by a numerous and in fluential body of voters, I beg leave to offer myself as a candidate for the honour of representing your borough in Parliament. lam aware of the disadvantage under which I labour in not being able to recommend myself to your confidence by referring to my participation in public affairs as a Memller of Parliament ; still, for many years I have taken a deep interest in political events, and advocated as an individual these Liberal measures now adopted by Parliament and stamped with popular approbation. I would most readily support all measures tending to improve the social, moral, and intel lectual condition of the people, and allow all classes to benefit by the distribution of public funds appropriated for the purposes of education. I would endeavour firmly to uphold the Protestant religion in its strictest sense, regarding any advancement of the Romish Church as dangerous to the existence of civil and religious liberty. I am strongly opposed to many of the enactments of the present poor-law as unnecessarily cruel and oppressive, and would heartily co- operate in their mitigation. Should I be allowed the honour of representing you, it shall be my constant aim carefully to watch over the interests of the town of Reading, which my immediate residence in your neighbourhood enables me to do.

Graham, whose advances received little favour at Hull, will bo brought forward for this borough. TEWKESBURY. JULY 10.—There is likely to be a hot contest here. All the three candidates, Viscount Lascelles, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Martin, have been, and are to-day, busily engaged canvassing the electors. Mr. Dowdes well, in announcing his intention not to solicit re-elec tion, states, that he does so " in the absence of any poli tical topic of paramount importance to agitate the public mind and under the pressure of domestic affliction." Viscount Lascelles offers himself as Mr. Dowdeswell's successor, and thus avows his political sentiments:—" I feel most sincerely attached to the Protestant religion and those established institutions which have hitherto so well contributed to the prosperity of this country; . and whilst I should resist any attempt to destroy . or injure them, I would not object to any alteration which might tend to their improvement." The address of Mr. Martin has already been noticed. Mr. Humphrey Brown bas just issued his address, in which he says:— " A long mercantile experience affords the best safe guard that I shall always be found advocating a liberal policy, and be at all times ready to support such mea sures as will promote the industry and enterprise of the country. I shall also be willing to encourage any means of creating revenue by . direct taxation in lieu of th e p re sent indirect mode, which presses so hard on the indus trious classes. The present distributio n o f th e c h urc h re venues I consider unjust in principl e an d i n j ur i ous to the church, by impairing her usefulness and the dignity of her character. I will give no consen t to any revenue grant in aid of any church which holds no spiritual alli ance with our Protestant establishment, and I think the professed necessity of such a grant from the national lund is uncalled tor, an unfair dealing with the public money, and an insult to those religious bodies who not only support their own churches, but educate their chil dren without national grants of any kind."

OF SIR—I wish through the medium of your culated journal to i n f orm your numerous re widely-cir culated fthire great demand that h as recent l y sprung up in this colony for gold, which commands a premium of from three to five per cent., therefore persons emigr a ti ng to, or trans witting funds to South' Australia, should bring or send out sovereigns, there being no other channel of remitting cash to this colony that will be found near so advanta geous. Added to which, money may be placed out by way of mortgage on first-rate securities, equal j eL every respect to freehold land in Middlesex, at fifteen to twenty per cent. per annum interest; and second-rate securities, such as freehold and leasehold houses, twenty to thirty-five per cent. per annum interest; but on third rate, or inferior securities, money cannot be obtained ; and as no loan societies, money lenders, or pawnbrokers exist; in Adelaide, the dread :Al loss sustained by persons requiring temporary pecuniary assistance in times of emergency exceeds all belief ; fur when money has to be raised in such cases on goods, plAte, watches, guns, or any articles of value, they must be sent - to the auction rooms, and sacrificed at whatever they will sell for, loss of 200 which is often done at the almost incredil! willt 1,000 part per with cent. t h on their e a t s h h e u p n r e m s s e t c h o e s y t , havefron t a h e .b i, n , y ro e s r p s e h o e t r o e f , realising immense profits. I have known a buytx at one of these public auctions purchase nails at one farthing per pound weight, and afterwards sell them in 10S shop at the rate of one shilling per pound. Such are the truly disastrous consequences 3'0.• ing to parties who are obliged to raise funds I . * their me x s o etremity; and I thi n k t h ese facts alone spea k voluf the great absence of money in this colony ; And I know of no quarter of the globe where capital can oe employed more beneficially. Copper coin is also very limited, and in great request; and an importation of 4 ,0001. to 5,0001. sterling, con ,isting of pennies and halfpennies would prove a great noon to the colonists, and remunerate the importer equal to his most sanguine expectations. But silver coin :s in abundance, there being a sufficiency in circulation in the colony. I have no doubt, with the combined influence of ca pital, suitable labour, and shipping, that South Australia be eventually one of the most valuable colonies of' the British Crown. The introduction of money is the first step to wards her advancement, then suitable labour, by which I mean labouring persons adapted to the wants of the colony—such as miners from Cornwall, and some agri cultural labourers from Suffulk, Norfolk, and Essex. And to show the scarcity of farm servants, it need only be stated, that bullock drivers employed in driving the bullocks and drays loaded with ore from the mines to Port Adelaide, are receiving one pound sterling per week wages, and their victuals. As to good working miners from Cornwall, they may be sent in any numbers. tor such are the vast mineral riches of the colony, that no bounds can be set to the employment required in this department. And, although her agricultural and pastoral prospects are extremely good, they will never require such an influx of labour as is now in demand for working he numerous mines ; as, owing to the paucity of labour, Several of the copper mines are only partially worked, and some not worked at all. Indeed, her Majesty's Land and Emigration Commis 6ioners can make ❑o mistake in sending- out as emigrants working miners from Cornwall to any extent, as the wants of the colony in this respect are of the most pressing description ; for the working miner of South Australia is, at this time, actually getting paid for his iabour five times the amount paid to the working miner of Cornwall. And before I quit the subject of suitable labour required in South Australia, I would not omit stating the great lack of female servants in the colony ; sad if two thousand to three thousand young females of the working classes,from fifteen to twenty-five years of age, were sent out here they would obtain situations imme liately, for such is the demand for cooks, nursery maids, laundry-maids, dairy-maids, and other domestic women servants, that they can get almost any wages they ask, and many of the settlers cannot obtain servants of this description on any terms, as the scarcity of female iervants at this present time is without a parallel since the foundation of the colony. In conjunction with capital and suitable labour, the other requirement is shipping, there existing a great want of vessels to take away the mineral ore, wool, corn, gum, bark, and other produce of the colony, as the merchants' warehouses are breaking down v.ith the weight of their burdens, for ships are not to be obtained for freights. The journeymen trades who do well here are, wheel wrights, blacksmiths, carpenters, bricklayers, tanners, and malsters. These descriptions of persons readily ob tain 7s. to 10s. per day for their work, which is nearly double what they would get in England. But as to artists, clerks, agents, engravers, Spitalfields' weavers, and cork-cutters, they will get little or no employment, and had much better stop at home. I am afraid, Sir, I have already extended aiy letter much too long for Insertion in the columns of your valuable newspaper ; but I trust you will pardon me when I state the only motive I have in sending you this communication is to enlighten the British public as to the immense capabilities of this very surprising colony, and to acquaint them with the foregoing facts and in formation, in order that some of your intelligent and wealthy subscribers may turn it to their advantage. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, G. B. Adelaide, South Australia, Feb. 5, 1847. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JULY 14.
