The following interesting letter is from the Belfast Commercial Chronicle of yesterday : " Strand of Tyrella, July 21. " The public interest in the fate and prospects of this steam-ship appears to continue unabated. Whether on days of nigh tides, when experiments of elevation are made, or on ordinary days, visitors continue to arrive on the broad sands of Tyrella. The approach to the -eerie of her ten months' wreck is of no little interest. On whatever side you draw near, whether from the favourite watering-place of Newcastle, from the Spa of Ballynahinch, or the sober shire town of Down patrick, crops appear to smile on every hand, and it .s worthy of remark, that the nearer you approach t'yrella, the wheat fields appear more luxuriant. Bean gardens (a novelty in Ireland) abound, and even peas and many vetches are becoming popular. The breadth of potato land is but small, but potatoes carry here as high a head as ever ; in fact, the harvest is likely to be a teeming one, and man is surely called upon to be mind ful of the Harvest-giver. The strand of Tyrella is worthy of a better lot than it appears to have had in its old years of loneliness. It is a somewhat romantic re treat, and if surmounted with a crescent of comfortable !edges, it would be soon a favourite watering-place for the lovers of the sea side and sea breezes. When in sight of the shore, on the left, are the bold hills of Rath mullen ; on the right, the shores that wind onwarcis to Newcastle ; above these towers the giant hills of Mourne, over which shadows are ever flit Ling, and giving new pictures to the gazer's ey, en every passing hour. In front of Tyrelb. strand is the extended outline of the Isle of Man In short, for surrounding scenery and marine enjoy.. wilt, we would uphold Tyrella as worthy of occupation less brief than that now given to it by those who come to gaze on the dark sides of the fated ship, or to repose an the low rocks or the sunny banks of the ocean side. As you approach Tyrella strand, at a rapid turn of the road, the masts of the Great Britain are seen, and soon the extended side of the vessel is presented to your eye. Passing the church of Tyrella (which was built by the Down and Connor Church Accommodation Society), we come to the shore. The tide, if out, leaves be hind it a strand, dry and ploae.nt . to the foot. Yon can even walk around the entire ship after the reflux of a full tide. One or two of the box,s used for uprighting the vessel, lie as wrecks up o n the sand, having broke from the chains. Ship wrights and carpenters are still busy ; but all above and below the deck is in much apparent disarray, consequent on the present state of the vessel. Hopes are still held out that, with renewed exertion, and additional experi ments and helps, the ship w ill be uplifted, and the bottom be fully examined and placed in the way of repair. The ship still stands upright ; you can hardly understand why it would not float if it had water -uflicient to bear it upwards. It does not show fissures nor rents, and yet there is that amount of damage, un • een by the unpractised eye, which rivets it to the rock You wonder how such a huge construction could ever have mounted so high and upright upon the rock—how it could have shifted three times its own great length from place to place—and yet so it is. It stands calm and apparently uninjured; God only knows if ever i , will return to the haven which it left in its day of strength, amidst the cheers of thousands, the strains of music, and the roar of guns. Still hope is sus tained, and screws are infixed from the bow, and levers are made ready to sustain many tons weight, and other boxes are to be constructed, each to contain many tons of sand, &c.; but autumn and autumn winds are coming across the deep, and such is the position of the bay, that if wind blows it is sure to blow with concentrated power upon the broadside of the gallant ship, as it lies all exposed to surge and storm. The country people of the neighbourhood are now ac customed to look on the ship as a fixture and a friend in need.' A young rustic who offers his services to bear visitors on his back over the shallow water that they may approach the vessel) observed, It is untellible the good this ship has done in helping the poor. If it were only in the sticks they . threw out of her we get great help for our firing. But the great time was when the passengers were coining ashore. Oh, but they were generous! You might have got a pound (10 for carrying a bundle that was not worth more than sixpence.' On its being re marked—' If the ship should be floated and thus taken from you ?" Why then,' said he another ship will be thrown in here ;' and then, after a pause, and looking somewhat depressed, he added, But it would take three ships to do tl - ,e good that she has done for us all.' It is said that on Wednesday next another . great effort will be made to upbear the ship, with a. view to have her so raised that at the fall of the tide her bottom may be. xamined. Whether these experiments, so patient, Inge nious, and expensive, may succeed, who can tell? So much time has gone by, and ao much effort has been expended in vain, that we reluctantly fear for the utter failure of the dans now in progress.. Captain Claxton has earned a good reputation in the matter. Indeed, all the parties who have been engaged in the rescue of the ship appear to have been competent to the task, if experience and in genuity could avail. The conduct of the rural popula tion is spoken of as very decorous and honest. We must, however, venture to differ from the wish of the sorthy guide, and to hope that never more may wreck be found upon the now memorable shore of Tyrella." THE ELECTIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. observtd in your valuable paper of Satur day evening a paragraph, headed "The Patent Laws," which stated that attention would be called at the ~ n suing elections to the oppressive nature of our patent laws, by which poor inventors were unable to reap the reward of their talents. As conductdrs 21 the Patent .Tournal, we think it right to inform you, and the public through your columns, that this important question has lately been treated at great length in that work; and it has been clearly shown that a great reduction in the cost of patents might easily be ramie without injury to and person. In stating, however, that the cost of a patent tor the United Kingdom was 4001. vou were in error, for hrough us patents for the United Kingdom may be .bta,neri for 3161. Candidates for legislative honours would do well to peruse the Patent Journal, with a view to answer any questions that may be put to them on the hustings regarding the patent law; and we entirely coincide with you, Sir, that it is high time some amend ment was made in the laws regarding patents.—We are, Sir, your very obedient servants, BAIILOW, LE CAPEIAIN, and PAYNE. Patent office, 89, Chlneery-lane, July 26, 1847. TEACHERS OF DANCING.—The annual general meeting of the Provident Society of Dancers and Teachers of Dancing was held yesterday, in the saloon of the Haymarket : Theatre, James Byrne,:Ebq., in the chair. The chairman briefly explained the object of the society, which were to form a fund for th, relief and support of the unfortunate, disabled, dis eased, and aged members of the dancing profession. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. after which Mr. Harry Bourke, the Secretary, laid be fore the assembly the cash accounts for the past year, from which it appeared that the receipts were 3691. 19, lid., and the expenses 2061. 6s. 7d., leaving a balance 01 1631. 13s. 4d the sum of 1041. had been invested. which, together with 3001. owing by subscribers, and 3801. 2s. 2d. in the Consols, showed that there were 7391. 15s. 6d. to the good of the society. The auditors' report having been accepted, several important altera tions in the rules of the society were agreed to, and. after the officers for the ensuing year had been chosen, he meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the ,chairman. MILITARY OUTRAGE AT CHATHAM. A most iesperate affray took plane on the Military-road, Chat lam, on Sunday evening, between large parties of tilt 62d and 10th Regiments. The quarrel arose in the firs; ustance between a corporal of the 62d and a private ol ne 10th, in consequence, it is supposed, of some heart riurning between the two corps, relative to the manner which the 62d is said to have conducted themselvt: it the battle of Moodkee. It is computed that not less. =han from 800 to 1,000 men were at one time engaged .11 this conflict; and we regret to state that one pool fellow of the name of Allison, a private in the 60t1, Rifles, whilst on duty at the main guard, was knocked town by the rush of the soldiers from the barracks to join in the affray, and his skull so severely fractured teat his medical attendants declared it impossible he could survive, and from inquiry at the barracks this morning (Monday), at ten o clock, the report is that he is dead. To add to the catastrophe, the poor fellow leaves a wife and four children to lament his loss, and in a month's time he would have been entitled to his discharge, with a pension. We understand that several other soldiers were also severely wounded. The affray was only suppressed by the arrival of several strong piquets, aided by the civil power. The 62d left the barracks this morning, en route for Maidstone, to pro ceed from thence by rail to Winchester, to - join head quarters. ANTIQUITIES FOR THE BRITISH MUSEUM. —Several cases of antiquities, intended for deposit in the British Museum, have been shipped at Leghorn for Southamp ton, on board the steamer Montrose, en route to their destination ; and the Lords of the Treasury have issued the necessary directions to the proper authorities for their delivery, on arrival, free of duty, to the establish. ment mentioned. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.-1 . 11 this quarter the weather still continues most favourable; and we tirede iighted, in reading the journals from all parts of th( empire, to find only one and the same account—namely, shut the earth was never covered with more luxuriani crops, and that the weather is promising for an early ant• tbundant harvest. Of the potatoe disease we hear onl) )1' partial cases, and at present this crop seems to offei generally a favourable return.—Caledonian Mercury. On the 18th the engine of a train on the Berlit ind Potsdam Railway went off the rails, and was preci pitated to the bottom of a lofty embankment. Tin , oud e r Was broken, and two waggons were dragged of the rails, but the only injuries sustained by the person: rn the train were contusions. The accident was cause( by the ends of two rails having risen from their level. On the 22d ult. a terrible fire broke out at Kagan. in Russia, which entirely destroyed 106 houses and tw, churches. The Emperor sent 25,000 effective rouble: (100,000 f) to be distributed among the persons who's. property was destroyed, and 21,000 roubles towards the expense of re-constructing the houses. • 6 to 9 to 9 to 0 to GO OD WO OD RAGES. CHICHESTER, MONDAY AFTERNOON. -It is beyond a doubt that the preparations for the elections will have some influence on the attendance at the ensuing meet ing. It is equally clear that, although a great number of horses have arrived, the fields for the principal events will bear but a small proportion to the entries, and that speculation will fall short of the amount that last year save so much excitement to the racing, and, from an un precedented run of ill-luck, shook " the ring " to the centre. Still, should the weather continue favourable, we see every reason to anticipate an excellent meeting, averaging nine or ten races each day, and bringing out some "dark" favourites for the next Derby, and allowing only small fields for each event, realising to the several winners upwards of twenty-two thousand pounds! an aggregate that no other place has ever approached. Of this sum, exclusive of her Majesty's guineas, 1,2001. is contributed by the Dukes of Beaufort and Richmond, Lord George Bentinck, the Hon. E. M. Mostyn, Mr. Houldsworth, and from other private sources. A list of the horses likely to compete for these magnificent priz e s has already been given. We believe that, with the ex ception of Annandale, who is not here, and of Monarch, Duncan, Blackbird, Yellow Rose, and a few others, of whose arrival we were ignorant, it was pretty nearly complete. The races commence to-morrow, and as the number of events to come off on that and the following days, and the necessity of forwarding our parcels from the course, in order to secure their receipt in time for publication the following morning, will oblige us to confine our re ports to the actual business of the day, we may as well avail ourselves of the present opportunity to notice two or three alterations on the racecourse. It will be re membered that the judge's chair has hitherto stood con siderably below the Stand, outside the enclosure, and that the rails, on the opposite side of the course, were on the turn. This was decidedly objectionable, inas much as it gave an advantage to horses running inside, or nearest the judge, over those on the outside, the latter almost invariably beginning to hang to the right, before they reached the ending post. This objection has been tone away with by removing the chair about twenty two yards nearer the Stand, and within the enclosure, and by altering the rails on the opposite side, so as to make them nearly straight with the chair, at the same time greatly improving the pull-up. The amom rnodation of the country people and others whose exchequers are not sufficiently rich to meet the daily expense of admission to the Stand, has been consulted by bringing the rails forward several feet from the distance, thereby affording standing room for several hundreds. The press has not been for gotten, his Grace having very kindly caused a portion of the betting room to be railed off, and furnished with all the appliances for the convenient transaction of business. In addition to these and other imp rovemen t s , his. Grace has had the courses re-measured, and as the removal of the judge's chair has necessarily made some alterations in the lengths as formerly published, it will be as wel , to give the actual distances to be run in future:— Miles. Fur. Yards. Queen's Plate Course Orange Course Cup Course 2 6 Goodwood Stakes Course 2 6 Maidstone Course Drawing-room Stakes Course ... Gratwiteke Stakes Course Two Year Old Course The Goodwood Cup and Goodwood Stakes Courses will be run over the same ground as in 1845. Two miles, and one mile and three-quarters, unless specified to the contrary, will be run on the D.S.C.; a mile and a half on the New Course; '•Mile" course on the Grat wicke S.C., and run home to the westward of the clump upon the D.S.C.; half-mile races to be run on the T.Y.C. (It is notorious that the published " lengths of courses" at many other places are incorrect, and we trust that ,rewards, or whoever may be invested with the power, will follow the Duke of Richmond's example, and ascer tain the exact distances.) The course, we may state, in conclusion, is in excellent condition. • The party invited to partake of the hospitality of Goodwood House, includes his Serene Highness Prince Peter of Oldenburg, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and Lady Blanche Somerset, Duke and Duchess of Bed ford, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, and Earl and Countess of Eg linton ; Viscount and Viscountess Maidstone, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of Jersey, Earl of Stradbroke, Earl of Orford, Lord and Lady Stanley, Earl of Glasgow, Earl of Besborough, Earl of Strathmore, Earl Burghley, Lady Jane Laurence Peel, Earl of Rosalyn, Lord Dunkellin, Lord Bateman, Hon.

SlR,—Before I proceed to review the brilliant meeting at Goodwood,:I shall take a retrospective glance at the Epsom, Ascot, Newcastle, and Liverpool meetings, and show your readers what effect they have had upon the St. Leger; a measure I think advisable, and much better ban the one so generally pursued, of putting ~ff every hing to a day or so before the race. It gives the specu lator time to profit by the advice given, should he not .:onsider his own decision good enough ; and, moreover. prevents many unwary persons from being " picked up." In the first place, the race for the Derby cannot be taken as a criterion of the qualities of several nags that started for it, or else the easy victory of Cossack fur that race would infer that the Leger was as good as over. At his present price "pepper" Cossack as much as you please, accidents, time, and the Leger course are in your 'avour. Ascot disposed of the Swallow, Crozi.r, Bingham, Oxonian, Mathematician, Administrator, Muntpensier, and a crew of smaller fry. Red Hart proved his Derby running to be false by Ninning the Welcome stakes in a somewhat easy manner. He has since won two other stakes in common canters, n one of which he disposed quite cavalierly of the Oaks' winner. It is my belief he is going to give the vorld a repetition of the Red Deer game of 1844. He ;s a dangerous opponent indubitably, but still not good -nough, I fancy, for the St. Leger. Newcastle annihilated Christopher's chance, if he ever soul any, and i n t ro d uce d i n a favourable ight Lord Eglintoun's Eryx, who, with Est 81b, won the Northum berland Plate, a very creditable performance. Van Tromp also was brought out to thrash a few mise rable quadrupeds, which he did twice in a very satisfac tory manner. •The Liverpool running, in its turn, sent to the right about Lazarillo, Abdiel, Executor, Chat, and Mogadore. 'Van 'Tromp repeated his Newcastle performance by winning the Liverpool St. Leger easily, from Executor and the Swallow. Now, from these four crack meetings but little can be deduced beyond that Van Tromp can beat platers and second-rate racers ; that Red Hart can do the same ; that Cossack won the Derby easily ; and that the Irish division are not likely to produce this year another Foig-a-ballagh or Baron. In my last epistle I named sixteen nags, from which the winner of the :great northern stake must spring. I now reduce that number to ten, viz., Planet, Van Tromp, Eryx, Limestone, Mr. Martin, The Cos• sack, Re e aughter, an Foreclosure ; the remaining six hav e had D their chances d settled by the late races. That most princely of meetings, held at Goodwood, vill commence as usual, with the Craven Stakes, the inner of which Kent will produce. The Levant Stakes will have about five starters, and ,s it is not probable that either Edie, Ochiltree, or Load 4tone will start, I shalt look to the Lady Augusta tot be winner. A Sweepstakes of 300 sous. h. ft. Mowerina Ennui 1 2 The Gratwicke Stakes of 100 sous. each, h. ft. Red Hart Clementina Epirote The Ham Stakes, likewise of 100 bovs. each, will have, I suppose, about seven or eight starters, including Oscar, Surplice, Corsican, and-Lola M ontez. I presume Oscar will find his way home first, with Lola Biomes and Surplice in attendance. The Drawing-room Stakes, I think, will have Halo in the ascendant, notwithstanding Mr. Mostyn's strength. The Goodwood Club Stakes look well for Meste.r Stepney or Camera Obscure ; and The 10 Stirs. for The Cur. On Wednesday the Goodwood Stakes are likely to have a score of starters, but, as I cannot enumerate them, I will jump to the conclusion in giving my veto in favour of The Plover; Game Lass filly and Lothario being handy. The Produce Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. Red Hart walk over. On Thursday, the Goodwood Cup, the principal at traction of the week, will likely enough have Eryx, Halo, and The Hero the three first, but whether I have placed them in the order they will come in or no, I cannot say; but it is more probable that a three-year old • will win it than a four. One Hundred Soya. Stakes • all the money. Planet. Mirtnillo 2 The Molecomb Stakes, to Glendower, with Nat up. The 200 Sovs. Stakes; all the cash. Mr. Mostyn will pocket.

On Friday, the Nassau Stakes will lay between Slander and Clementine. The Produce Stakes of 300 soya, each are likely to find their way to Mr. Mostyn's pocket. The Chesterfield Cup may possibly have The Mon grel or The Cur for victor. The Holywell Stakes, although containing the names of several first-rate nags, will, in all probability, be won by some inferior brute.—l am, Sir, &c., July 26. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. A letter from Hong CHINA. been rec e i ve d, t h e substance of which may be interesting to some of ou r rea d ers. The latest intelligence which had been re ce i ve d i n the island from Canton represented that city to b e p er f ect l y quiet, as indeed it ha d b een Kong, dated the 25th of May , has ever since the departure of the English forces, with the exception of a slight disturbance which bad occurred on the occasion of a meeting held at the Consoo House near the factories, by the persons interested in the land to be occupied at Honan by foreign merchants under the late agreement. To that disturbance, indeed, the Honan people do not appear to have been parties. It was ex ited by a crowd of idlers who were attracted by the meeting, but was suppressed without difficulty, as the authors betook themselves to flight immediately upon the foreign residents showing a readiness to repel any attempt at disorder. The authorities, on hear ing what had occurred, reinforced the Chinese guard, and the public peace was not again interrupted. Since that time the discussions, as well with the Chine:e authorities as with the proprietors of the land at Honan, had been amicably carried on; the latter had represented their wishes in a temperate and respectful address to the British plenipotentiary, and there was every reason to believe that all diffi cu l t i es in the way of the occupation o f th e l an d, a survey of which, sufficient for all pra ctica l p ur p oses , had b een effected by Mr. Pope with o ut interruption, would presently h e remove d . In all other respects matters wer e going on well. The Chinese authorities had evinced great alacrity in punish. ing parties who had misconducted themselves. Two of the persons who had been engaged in the attack on the sailors of the Mary Bannatyne, in October last, had been severely punished; three other persons, convicted of throwing stones at the English at Honan and Luhpool, were ordered to be bastinadoed ; and a man who had at tacked and robbed a Malay belonging to a British lorcha, had been apprehended by the Chinese magis trates, even without previous remonstranc e from the plenipotentiary, bastinadoed, and condemned to wear the cangue. Keying had issued a strong proclamation, enjoining and not pain of puni s h ment; and had e th re e at p e eo d p ia l t e ur to ba a n t e te e n s, d un to de t r heir own occupati ons , also denounced the mischievous practice of posting up placards calculated to unsettle the public mind. A rescript from the Emperor, with reference to the late events at Canton, had been published, the tenour of Which is calculated to rouse the authorities in the pro vincial city to increased vigilance, with a view to the re pression of disorder on the part of the populace. The events at. Canton had produced no sensation e ith er at Shanghae or at Amoy. At the former pl ace espe eialiyever'thi seemed to exist ngwasgo ing on well, and t h e best betweenunder standing the British Consul and the authorities, and the best spirit to animate the British community. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday a meeting was held at the Bull Inn, Ald gate, to give the Conservative candidates an opportunity r e a of addressing th e e l ectors. Mr. Masterman, n MrAld Alder man John s o n , an d M r. Freshfield, wereiresen . t. Mr. - Bevan was absent from indisposition. Mr. Goss, who presided, having introduced the candi dates, Mr. MASTERMAN observed, that he maintained the Conservative principles which he held when it was his lot six years ago to solicit the support of the electors. He desired to see the Protestant Church upheld in all its integrity. Though he had expressed himself pretty strongly as to the endowment of tho Roman Catholic Church, he was confident it would not be supposed he had done so with any idea of interfering with the privi leges which its members possessed in exercising freedom of conscience. The Protestant Church had long been connected with the State ; and they would rue the day in which its position was altered. He disapproved of a tax upon income, and would give his decided support to every proposition for ameliorating the poor-law. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON referred to his past conduct in the discharge of public duties as a guarantee for his conduct as a representative. It was in cons-quence of Mr. Lyall's retirement that he had been called on to come forward. He pledged himself to oppose the en dowment of the Roman Catholic Church. The subject of transportation had been under discussion ; the fault, he thought, did not lie with the transportation, hut with the discipline, which he felt might be carried out as well in another country as in this. The Cite required some representatives to maintain its interests and privi leges. There were improvements to be effected in its streets, markets, &c. ; and the Corporation were about to spend half a million, which would eff ct changes for the bettet such as never had been effected before. Mr. FeesimeLD said that he had sat in four Parlia ments. He never gave a .vote except on Conservative p inciples ; but he held that improvement was one of the principles of Conservatives. To suppose a Conser vative not in favour of improvement was to suppose him not a Conservative at all. With regard to Romanism, after being comparatively dormant, was it not raising its head again, in hopes of regaining its former position? Could the oppression and cruelty of former times be forgotten? He sought no interference with the right which Roman Catholics enjoyed to the free profession of their relieiob ; but he felt it his duty to be firm in maintaining their own rights as Protestants. He was opposed to the endowment of the Roman Catholic Church, mid would maintain the Protestant Church for the protection of those who desired the free exercise of their religion. He had a very strong opinion as to the property and income-tax. An income derived from pro fits was not a fair subject for taxation. If he had the honour of a seat in Parliament he would never consent to the renewal of the property and income-tax without very considerable modifications as to that part which re lated to income. Real and realised property stood on an entirely different footing from a life income. The window-tax ought to be removed altogether, or a half taken off. With regard to the poor-laws, he had always - - i h it:! s s . Mr. unju sthtration oppressive to the poor and stated the claims of Mr. Bevan to sup thou port. When they read the speech of Lord J: Russell, g S tto E their E t y p d a r i s m the manifesto of Sir R. Peel, or that of Lord G. Ben thick, the same idea presented itself as to the endow ment of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. Their statesmen were opposed on that question to the people of England, who desired to return men prepared to take a bold stand on this question. Lord John Russell, with characteristic boldness, had come forward—(Cries of " We won't have him," " We won't have any canting hypocritical humbugs")—and put the question before the electors for their determination. It was for them now to decide. Mr. JOHNSON moved a resolution expressing the opinion of the meeting that Mr. Masterman, Mr. Al derman Johnson, Mr. Bevan and Mr. Freshfield were fit and proper persons to represent the City. Mr. CHAMBERS seconded the resolution. Mr. KING wished to know Alderman Johnson's opi nion of corporation reform. Mr. Alderman JouNsow considered the city of London exempt from the general Municipal Reform Act, because it was felt to be so circumstanced that it ought to be so. If the citizens, through their wards, did not send proper Aldermen and Common Councilmen to represent them it was their own fault. The freemen, besides, could summon a common-hall and call the Common Council to order when they thought fit. When the citizens had such powers he saw no necessity for apply ing the provisions of the Municipal Reform Act. A show of hands was then taken, and the resolution declared carried by a majority. In answer to a question with reference to the removal of Jewish disabilities, Mr. MASTERMAN stated that he was not prepared to pledge himself to vote for the admission of Jews into Parliament. Mr. SEELEY thought the Hebrews mistaken when they tried to amalgamate with other nations. Mr. Rottschild, instead of trying to get into the English Parliament, ought to be one of the princes of Judah, in the land of Judah.--(Laughter and confusion.) After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. COURT CIRCULAR. Count Mensdorff arrived at Osborne, Isle of Wight, yesterday, on a visit to the Queen. Her Majesty and Prince Albert walked yesterday morning in the pleasure-grounds and plantations of Os borne. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, went, yesterday forenoon, to the sea beach, and took walking and pony exercise.

AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANY.—The annual ge neral meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Adelaide - Place, London-bridge. Edward Hagan, Esq., deputy chairman, presided. Mr. Hodg kinson, the secretary, read the report. The mines will henceforth be called the Trentcillo mines. The di rectors have great pleasure in announcing to the share holders the acquisition of nine sections of mineral land in the neighbourhood of the Capuntla mines, which are likely to prove a very valuable addition to the company's property. At Wheal Rothschild four men raised and cleared eight tons of excellent ore in a fortnight. With reference to the question of a royalty on the special -urvey, the directors have to rep, iet that they had an interview in December last with Earl Grey, but nut con curring with his Lordship's views as to the terms of the reference, and expecting to receive by t h e Buchan Castle the original land grant and protest, they proposed to Lord Grey to await the arrival of these documents be fore giving a definite answer. This vessel, however, having been unfortunately lost, no further steps have been taken, and the directors do not consider it advi sable to press the subject at present on the notice of the Government. A great number of miners were seat out 'rem Cornwall, in the Raja, on the 23d of May last, and they are expected to reach Adelaide early in September, and their arrival will enable the committee of manage ment to prosecute vigorously the mining operations of the company. The directors have to report the retire .neat of Sir Hyde Parker from the direction. Tne fi nancial statement showed that the funds at present in nand would be amply sufficient to carry on the opera tions of the company, until such time as the shipments of ore shall have realised a fund en which they could with propriety draw. The following gentlemen were re-elected directors.—Sir J. Capper. E. Hagan, and John Masterman, jun., Esqrs., and the proceedings ter nonated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

The deceased had been out spending the day, and was returning home, accompanied by some friends, when, in attempting to cross the road, they did not perceive the approach of Sibley's Turnham-green omnibus, and before the driver could pull up the horses, the deceased was knocked down, and the near fore wheel passed over his body. IL. was picked up in a senseless state, and conveyed to Si. George's Hospital, where he expired early on Monda) morning from internal injuries.

EARLY Hem-Est.—Mr. Wright, of the Red Rouse, ...Battersea, carried, in excellent condition, on Saturday three saes of rye's gassed io Patten96'l9l4l4.' . MARYLEBONE. On no occasion since the passing of the Reform Bill have the Liberal party been placed in such a predicament, and split into so many sections, as on the present occa sion, consequent on the retirement of Mr. D. W. Harvey. This predicament is not confined to the electors, but even the Hon. Baronet, Sir Benjamin Hall, is placed in a posi tion which, to say the least of it, is extremely critical, owing to his utter inability to please all parties. It will be remembered that, at a meeting of Lord Dudley Stuart's friends, held on Saturday evening, it was unanimously resolved to get up a requisition to Sir B. Hall, calling upon him to coal , sce with his Lordship, and throughout yesterday Lord Dudley Stuart's com mittees were active!) engaged in endeavouring to pro cure signatvres to that requisition. At two o'clock 3 esterday afternoon a numerous body electors who are the strenuous supporters of Sir B. Hall, waited upon the Hon. Baronet at his central com mittee•room, the Orange Tree, New-road, for the pur pose of ascertaining it it was the intention of the Hon. Baronet to coalesce with Lord Dudley Stuart, or any other candidate. Sir B. HALL, in answer to the question, said that he had heard that a requisition was in course of signature, calling upon him to coalesce with one of the Liberal can didates, hut he begged positively to state that whilst there were two Liberal candidates besides himself in the field he would not coalesce with either, unless a requisi tion to that Pffcct was presented :o him, signed by no less a number than 3,000 or 4,000 electors, or some un equivocal expression was made to him that such was the wish of the vast majority of the Liberal party. 'I he deputation expressed their satisiaction at this de claration, and said it was their determination, under such circumstances, to leave no stone unturned to secure the return of him (Sir B. Hall) at the head of the poll. Had he, on the contrary, said he would coalesce, it was their determination to use all their influence to oppose him. The deputation then withdrew. The requisition above referred to was to have been presented last evening, but it was understood that the signatures appended thereto were not sufficiently nume rous for that purpose, and the requisition was with drawn. The reason assigned for this is. the general opinion that Lord Dudley Stuart had been a party to the retirement of Mr. Whittle Harvey. At a meeting held at the Colosseum Tavern last even ing of the triends of Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Alfred Daniell in the chair, this report was brought under the notice of the meeting. Lord Dudley Stuart thanked the meeting for having given him the opportunity of answer ing so calumnious a charge against him. He had before heard of it, but thought it too contemptible to be noticed. The charge having now, however, assumed a more serious shape by being brought publicly forward, he (Lord Dudley Stuart) begged to state emphatically, that neither directly nor indirectly bad he been a party to Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey's retirement. Yesterday evening Mr. Sergeant Shee addressed a numerous assemblage of the electors and inhabitants of Marylebone in the open air, in the Cumberlaud Hay market, Regent's-park. The Learned SERGZANT, after a few preliminary re marks, said, with respect to the retirement of Mr. D. W. Harvey. that there was no doubt that gentleman had grossly deceived the borough, and all those who trusted in him. There never was a greater instance in the poli tical history of this country of disinterestedness in the support of a political cause than was manifested on the late occasion to Mr. Harvey. He came before the elec tors, stating that he could not afford the ordinary ex peoces of an election, and the people of Marylebone at once said that they approved of his conduct in Perlia tnent and they would bear - all his expenses themselves. —(Hear, hear.) With Lord Dudley Stuart and himself (Mr. Sergeant Shee), Mr. Harvey entered into a solemn engagement that if they would consent to have their claims tested by a ballot of the whole electoral body, whatever was his majority, if he succeeded, he would go to the poll.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Harvey obtained a large majority, and Lord Dudley Stuart and he (Mr. Sergeant Shee) at once bowed to the decision on the terms they had agreed to, anti retired from the contest ; and then tour days afterwards Mr. Harvey said he would not be bound by his engagement.—(Cries of " Shame.") If the conduct of Mr. Harvey was quite inexcusable in this matter, that of the electors had been very much to their credit. They had preferred him to Lord Dudley Stuart and himself simply and solely on the ground of his political services to the country, and therefore, what ever disgrace might attach to Mr. Harvey, none attached to the electors of Marylebone. However, Mr. Harvey was now gone, and th e ques ti on was , who was to be Member for Marylebone ?—(Cries of "Shee.") The Learned Sergeant then went on to explain his political the to sentiments at considerable length. With respec t cow Irish Church Establishment, and the proposA to n meantre the Roman Catholic priests, he said, endowment lishment, which in the support o f a church estab e its p sent state was a uisgrace and a sc..ndal to Christendom. p. hrnidstocw•nidzi —(Cheers.)

Mr. MANN moved, and Mr. HARE, of Mornington crescent, seconded a resolution, which was unanimously carried with acclamation:— " That the meeting fully believed Mr. Sergeant Shee possessed talents and abilities beyond his riva;s to repre sent the borough in Parliament, and pledged themselves to support him at the ensuing election." Mr. FIELD, an elector, here intimated to the Learned Sergeant that he had been told that a price had been offered to him (Sergeant Shee) on condition of his not going to the poll. He wished to know if that was so? Mr. Sergeant SUEZ indignantly repelled the statement, and told Mr. Field and the meeting emphatically that he pledged his honour as asentieman and a public man, that there was no price, no dignity, or place, which the Crown had it in its power to bestow, which should tempt him not to go to the poll, or induce him to forget the place which he now held as a candidate for the re presentation. This declaration was received with the most - enthu. siastic cheering, and the meeting then separated. Yesterday evening a meeting of the electors of Mary- lebone, friends of 'sir J. Hamilton, was held at the Yurkstiire Stingo. The meeting took place in the open air, and was very numerous, but, judging from its com plexion we ehould say that non-electors greatly predo minated. Sir J. HAMILTON, who was enthusiastically received. addressed the meeting from a gallery, arid explained his opinions and views concerning the chef political 'opics, to the same effect as he had treated them in his pub ished addresses. He dwelt strongly on his attachment to Protestantism, and declared his conviction, fortified by the candid declaration of a Noble Lord (the Earl of Arundel and Surrey), that nothing would satisfy the Roman Catholics until mass was said in Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's, and the host was carried thi ough our streets. He had been a resident in the parish for thirty years, and his father had been a parishioner before him, and it would still be, as it had been his ob ject, to promote whatever could advance the happiness and improve the condition of the mass of the people. Sir J. EAMILTON then declared that he was ready to answer any questions which might be proposed to him— an invitation which provoked so many questions that Sir J. Hamilton goodhumouredly numbered the querists, whose names were of course unknown. No. 1 inquired whether the candidate would vote for more bishops ? Sir James Hamilton replied that no more bishops were asked for ; but if the government of the Church of England desired more bishops, as they would pay them out of the funds of the Church, not out of the pockets of the people, this was a question for the government of the Church to decide for themselves. But it more bishops were asked fur, and it was proposed to pay them from the pockets of the people, he should be ready to oppose the proposition. The answer seemed to silence, but not to satisfy the querist. No. 2 asked whether Sir James was prepared to vote for a repeal of the window duty? He replied he was, upon condition that a substitute could be found. The mention of a condition caused a little murmuring. No. 3 desired to know whether the candidate was prepared to vote for a repeal of the game laws? Sir James replied that they had not much game in Maryle• bone just now; but, believing that the game-laws were harsh, cruel, and oppressive, and calculated to create, rather than repress, vice, be was prepared to support their repeal. _ _ _ No. 4 asked whether Sir James was prepared to ♦ote for an amendment of the poor-law? Be replied that he had long been a guardian and director of the poor in thi> parish, and he defied any man to go to their workhouse and say that the comforts of the poor were not attended to there. But with regard to the general operation of the law, he was prepared to consider it, and if any of the clauses were harsh and oppressive ha should be read) to vote for their repeal. No. 5 inquired whether Sir James Hamilton would vote for the abolition of capital punishment? He replied that he would vote for its abolition except in two in stances—namely, for the crime of murder, which was condemned by the Word of God, and for the licentious violation of female virtue. No. 6 asked, whether he was prepared to vote for tht• ballot? Sir James Hamilton, with some significant allusions to a recent'' ballot" in this borough, an swered flatly that he was not; and the answer was well received. No. 7 (his quegtion came from the gallery) inquired whether he would vote for changing the income-tax to a property-tax ? Sir James Hamilton said he wry , ready so to modify the tax as to relieve industry, and t , increase the tax upon property. so as to get rid of the window duty and relieve industrious artizans. The questions became now of a miscellaneous and conflicting character, some of the questioners being ' questioned in turn. At length, The CHAIRMAN put to the meeting a resolution, which had been moved by Mr. Simkin— " That Sir James Hamilton is a fit and proper persoi to represent this borough in Parliament ;" which was carried by acclamation, a few rebellious hands being uplifted against it. The usual vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the meeting, which passed uff in excellent humour, owing greatly to the bonbon/7/de of Sir James Hamilton. TOWER HAMLETS. Yesterday evening a numerous and highly inf/uential meeting of the frirmis of Major-General Fox was held at the Manor House (late the Mermaid Tavern), Hack ney, for the purpose of adopting measures to secure th• re-election of that gentleman for the borough of the Tower Hamlets. About half-past seven o'clock Major General Fox en tered the Manor House and was received with loud and prolonged cheering. Mr. G. OVERDEN having been called to the chair, said, he regretted the absence of Mr. Charles Salisbury, who had intended presiding, but who was unavoidably absent. He rejoiced in meeting an old friend with au old face.—(Hear, hear.) Tne meeting knew something of the stock e, hence Major General Fox sprung, and that the) were one and alt the promoters of civil and reli gious liberty.—(Cheers.) He would at once call on that gentleman to state his own views and his own prin ciples.—(Cheers.) General Fox, who rose amidst almost tumultuous cheering, rejoiced in seeing himself surrounded by old friends, though he regretted the absence of some he could have wished to see present. He could not but regret as he was not aware of having in any one single point changed fus principles. He would point to his votes and acts during the past six years, as entitling him to som, claim to their support. He was, and always had been, warm and staunch advocate of civil and religious liberty —(Cheers)—and he would always promote, as far as ley in his power, any measure for doing away with the pre sent religious disabilitit sof the Jews.—(" Bravo.") 0 the great principles of free trade he had always been a supporter, and would sooner forfeit his re election than flinch from those principles.—(Cheers.) The Honourable Candidate then alluded to his oppu nent, Mr. George Thompson, and characterised his cowing forward as a very needless and groundless action. Was he a tree-trader? So was he. Was he a friend of civil and religious liberty ? He was more. 0,, the great question of national education he was afraid he had lust a great number of his former supporters ; but he could not but think that any giant of money for promoting so great and glorious an object as national education must be beneficial. What was 100,0001. ti year ? Why, in his own profession, the country were contented to vote away 7,000,0001. annually. The General concluded by expressing his surprise that any person could suppose that the name of Russell or of Fox could be associated with any restrictions on religion, freedom. The Hon. Candidate sat down amidst loud applause. The CHAIRMAN having intimated that the Gallant General was ready to answer any question that mq4;l4t be proposed, _ _ kr:HARE stepped forward and inquired, amidst some confusion, whether the Gallant General would give the preference to reducing the Established Church to the level of other denominations with respect to state pa tronage and support, or whether he would offer that patronage and support to all denominations alike ? General Fox could give no distinct pledges—(Loud cheers)—and this question particularly, as one that was not before the country, he did not consider a fair one. The only observation he could make on the subject was, that it was universally tho ug ht th a t i n Ir e land the Pro testant Church was much too large and extended, tbautt how it was to b e re d uce d h e (th e G e neral) was not present prepared to say.

Mr. CHARLES BUXTON then, on behalf of his brother, Mr. Fowell Buxton, expressed his regret at not being able to attend the present meeting, to which he had been specially invited, and, after a high encomium on the Gallant General, stated his cordial concurrence in the proposition which had ju►t been proposed. A Mr. GREEN attempted, amidst great tumult, to ad- dress the fleeting, but the uproar was so great that he• was compelled at length to sit down. The resolution was then put in the usual way and una nimously carried amidst tumultuous cheering. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then also una nimously carried, and the meeting separated. COL ,CHESTER—VISIT OF MR. D. W. HARVEY. I On Saturday evening, ethe borough was all excitement; end bustle in consequen ce of the announcement that Dir. sm l y. l ha e ak r t d e h c a ha s di l y e a , p,,u a sb c e c idi o ca te t, p nm e t t r i : , 7 1L , A: te l h r . .. e xlle.i borough,t W ed . a H i strravt7endyg, thoughf w ee o l u in l d g in the towo, this only add,.d to the anxiety for seeing arid hearing the latter gentleman At six • o'clock the committee and many of the friends of the Lib e ral candi date must ere d at the mile -stone on the Leaden-road. e w e t iv e e r d e , M a n r d . li b e a i r n v g ey .j, , ) nwehdo pbyostmedr. from Wit ham ite h 's re ; were taken from th e carr i age, and with mu'si t a c pl ° y l i li n e and banners wavi ng , t h e parties were drawn into tba town, followed by fourteen or fifteen other crowdeal vehicles. Greeted by their friends, and accompanied by a continually gathering mass, the procession passed down the High-street to the George Inn, in front of which thousands had collected, filling the whole space in the front with one dense crowd. The Hon. Gentlemen pro ceeded to the balcony, to address the electors : Mr. HARDCASTLE said—What I have to say to you it the present moment will be stated in a very few words. Some evenings ago, when I had the honour of addressing many of you who are now here, I had the satisfaction of telling you that an old friend of yours would before long be present amongst you, and you would once more have the pleasure of bearing his voice. From the attachment you then expressed to that old friend, I augured favour ably as to the consistency of your attachment to new friends. I offered myself; or rather I was called on to offer myself, on the advice of certain people dear to you all, and, from the manner in which you have received me, and from the success I have experienced in my can vass in the last week, I am able to say you welcome me as a new friend with far greater confidence and enthu siasm than I had any reason to expect. I know you are desirous of hearing another voice than mine, and you shall hear it immediately: and I will only notice a report put forward by those who would have been very glad if that voice were not heard here, for it was industriously circulated that we should not see Mr. Harvey here ; but nere he is now to speak for himself, and he will explain to you the reasons fur his conduct both here and else where.—(Cheers). Mr. D. W. HARVEY then came forward and said:—lC is with places as with persons, that each ind•vidualises ;tself, and whatever takes place beyond the immediate circle of its being, is a matter of comparative insigni ricance. I very much doubt if you were called at this moment to contemplate the horrid flames at Moscow, whether it would have one half the interest with you as if it were announced teat there was a haystack burning in one of the lanes of your immediate neighbourhood.— (Laughter.) It is by this process of the mind that each mean is led to care and think for himself. Yet I cannot lismiss it from my mind, atter an association which has more or less existed between us for well nigh forty years, without believing that you do feel an interest in what concerns myself, even though it slimed be beyond the precincts of your own borough. Therefore, as your :xcellent candidate has said, you may be naturally, and I will say justly, anxious to know whence it is that an individual of whom you have in past years thought something, and for whom at different times you nave done so much, whence it is that that individual, who on Monday night last appeared in all probability the destined representative of one of the largest and most important constituencies la this country, should have ceased to hold that ex pectation within the last few hours.—(Hear, hear.) It is tile to you as old friends, it is due to you as part of the vast British empire, whose attention was directed to that event, to know, in a few words, whence it is that I have ceased to be a candidate for Marylebone. From uy first connexion with this town, beginning with the year 1812 down to the year 1834. in whieh long space ,f' time I coutested this borough seven times, there was ipparent; from my earliest career, a strong feeling of party and political hostility, which strengthened as my services and fidelity to you became stronger ; and when I became, and before I became a candidate for the com ilissionership of police, and when it was known I was a •andidate for that office, and not until it was known, the two great parties in the state to whom, more or less, I :lave always been opposed, and whose pernicious cotn ,ination I have ever denounced, inserted in the new • Police Act a chose enacting that the commissioner, so iting as he continued commissioner., should not only oe incapable of sitting in Parliament, but incapable ,f being eh ctd to Parliament. Therefore, as you will perc.ive, as a necessary preliminary of ny becoming a candidate for Marytebone, or for .ny other borough, I must resign the office ; and hough the emolument of it is not large, it is not des dicubli.. You are aware that myself, Lord Dudley Stuart, and a Learned Sergi ant, who comes this circuit, \lr. Sergeant Shee, were candidates for MaryleboTte old we consented to submit our r. spective pretension o the ballot. That ballot, as you welt know, and were tnformed on the following morning—for it was placarded ,ver the walls of this borough --was largely in my fa vour ; and I roust assert that, no one was ever more de termined than myself to abide by that ballot. But on Thursday morning last I was informed that Sir James Hamilon, who in the intermediate time had declared oimself a candidate, was not so anxious. nor could be justly expect 17, that be should succeed on the poll, as :0 give me notice on the morning of the election that he Mould dispute my qualification. Such of you as are okl enough to carry your memories back to 1820, will well remember what is meant by disputing my qualifi cation. You will remember that after engaging in an expensive contest with Mr. Raffles I was returned ; a pe tition was presented against me on the ground of detec t,ive qualification ; bat well knowing that my qualities .- ion was as good as that of any man's in Parliament, I was quite content to abide the inquiry, and to prove to you the validity of my qualification as well is the one-sided character of a Parliamentary deci ,lon. Before the Committee, appoint, d to try the petition w, nt into the question, I was called out of the ,:ommittee-room by a gentleman who you well recollect ased to appear here as counsel against me, Mr. Harri son, who said to me—" I am authorised to withdraw the petition, on the ground of your qualification, fuovided you will withdraw all the proceedings you have instituted „igainst the corporation of Colchester. My answer was —.` My qualification is good—your title as corporators is bad; and I wile enter into no such compromise —I will abide the result." That committee, made up as it was of Whigs and Tories, and these both anxious to dive me out of the House of Commons, carne to a reso .e myself ,i i o z d ed the d Ration that Inii,e was a defective qualification, and th ey were just ab,ut not only to unseat me, as t h ey did , b ut to ive fro th m e t s i e m at h t a • n • ci S s ir of fi m et y iry et l pu i t u l s s s e e l counsel, ir hn cu I r seized briefg said I begged to address the comm i ttee ' they decided. I said—" Y ou h ave been pleased t'befuonse seat me, but before y ou seat hi m hear me. He made only one prayer when he ought to have made two; he - has asked you to unseat Mr. Harvey, and you have complied; but ho has forgotten to ask you to seat him self." The consequen_m was that he did not get the seat, , ind I need not tell you with what indignation be de nounced what he called the conduct o f his lawyers — he was so disgusted after having expended 10,0004 on the election and the petition, that he turned his back on Co•chestser; and you will remember that I nrought down my friend Mr. Henry Baring whom you I onlytrouble y ou w ith these returned so triumphantly. details to show you that I bad good i ~, reason to know what were the tend er mercies of a , Committee of ti, House of Common s. Therefore on bursday morning, when I received intimation that Sir James Hamilton, expecting that h e had the sli g htest ground for 311 C: no t ceeding in the contest, for there was no doubt I should be at the head of the poll by hundreds, would be con tent with some few hundred votes, and with against Mr. Harve y's qualifications, protesting recollecting from past e xperience what I had to e xpect, I referred to what is now called the in .w Qualification A must have 3001. a year out of freehold et. Formerly a mart mi long as he lived. It' he h a d 1 0,000/. fromproperty, at least, as no qualification ; but it' he had the funds that was property lent him th e day tion. But now it he 1: that was a goo d qualifica as money in the f un d s, or lease hold property, th at is a good qualification ; an d th e question was, whether t e qualification I enjoy would bear that teat ; and I must tell you that there has b een no inquiry before a Com mittee of the House of I possess 4001. Commons on the new law. Now. a year on personal bonds, 2004 of which is - paid to me by the gentleman who suc ceeded me in my profession; arid the question arises whether that is personal estate, and would be a quallfi cation. The cons( quence was, I was reduced to the ne ce.slty of determining whether I would stand on that qualification; as I told you just now, before I could be a mid:date I must give up coy office, which, with salary and appurtenances, amounted to 1,0004 a year; and then, a hat I had reason to apprehend would be the case was, that a petition would certainly be presented against d I hoof(' be compelled d i a t , i _e.en.... my seat;, illy return, and s iiii 1 toed not tell ) oil what are the eilortn ,, us ..xpe l ,,,, ot attacking or delen,ling a ,eat in time ti ...MIS! , Of co_la Therefore, with great reluctance, and • h • Com mons. w ith pain I shall never cease to feel, I 'thought it more wise. at the last hour , to withdraw fro though froth the contest, than to be rem:lied and run the risk of being unseated by a Gonitnitt• e of the i louse ot Commons, paving the way by tie seri , us sacrific e to which I have alluded.
