The Sun. — London, England, 1853-06-24 00:00:00

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1853. It is, of course, simply a coincidence, but, at the same time, a sufficiently curious and remark able coincidence, that Fiance should have called out a portion of her military forces at Satory, and England a portion of hers at Chobham, at the precise juncture when there is a probability of war with the AUTOCRAT. In each instance the troops drawn out in encampment have been re viewed with considerable pomp by their respective Sovereigns. It was only very recently that we received an account of the visit paid to Satory by his Majesty the Emperor NAPOLEON, accompanied by the Empress EUGENIE, the principal offi cers of his staff, and the grand functionaries of his household. Within a brief interval after wards, we had the gratification of notifying the enthusiastic reception accorded to her Most Gracious Majesty Queen VICTORIA, and her august consort the Prince ALBERT, by her brave soldiers assembled together at the Chobham Encampment. Meanwhile, we are informed by successive despatches received from Constantinople that the SULTAN and his Divan are making extraordinary, and in some respects, as far at least as Turkey itself is concerned, wholly unparalleled exertions in the way of war like preparations. The VICEROY of Egypt has promised an enormous contingent —some say a contingent of no less than 150,000 men in the aggregate. Besides all which, the maritime arma ments of the Sublime Porte have been promptly concentrated in the neighbourhood of the Bos phorus, while the fleets of France and England have already arrived at the Channel of the Dar danelles. Under these circumstances we wonder how it is just now with his Imperial Majesty the AUTOCRAT! We wonder what he thinks, on calm reflection, of the mission entrusted to Prince MENSCHIKOFF ! We wonder what his real feelings may happen to be • at this moment in regard to his inso lent ultimatum, to the proud Note, and the haughty Sened, and the arrogant Convention ! Everything has failed in this gigantic conspiracy for the downfall of Turkey in Europe, and the occupation of Constantinople. Everything has proved abortive in relation to the great diplomatic coup which was to have transformed the mosque of St. Sophia for ever afterwards into a church for the Greek Schismatics. One by one the demands of the CZAR have been rejected by the SULTAN and Ministerial advisers. One by one the insults ad ventured upon by his Plenipotentiary have been quietly set aside by the resolute and dignified bearing of the Divan. Ultimately, in fact, we have witnessed how the Russian Ambassador, with all his pomp and bluster as Envoy from the Im perial councils of St. Petersburgh,. has received, in spite of all this, his conge, and been politely bowed out of the ca pit a l o f Constantinople. Baffled in his lawless enterprise, it now remains to be seen whether the CZAR will venture to enforce his views by an open declaration of war, not by this time simply against Turkey, but against the banded forces of the allied Powers of Christendom. An electric message of extraordinary importance has this morning been flashed f rom P ar i s t o Lon don under the waters of the British Channel. According to the sententious wordily, o f th e telegraph—"Tll E U LTIMATUM OF RUSSIA ' IIAS BEE N FINALLY REJECTED By THE PORTE"—aII in-HI-na tion dated on the 16th of June from Constanti nople. It will be rememb ered that the 6tll instant was the limit fixed for deliberation on the part of the Divan as to the acceptance or refus a l cf this four times proffered and four times rejected Ultimatum. Well —the day fi xed has arrived, and again, for the fourth tine, and finally, the Porte has refused to accept the ultimatum. What will follow ? Shall we say with Sir HUGH EvaNs—" There be pippins and cheese to come ye t ?" Or shall we listen for the thunder of BAYES ? Will this final rejection of the ultimatum, like the refusal of Before dividing on Lord STANLEY'S amendment on the second reading of the India Bill, Honour able Gentlemen will have to consider not merely the expediency of giving time for obtaining the further information necessary for permanent legis lation on this interesting and important subject, but also the possibility of bringing the measure now before the House to a definite and satisfactory conclusion within the few remaining weeks of the present Session. It is not simply that we should give the parties, so deeply interested in the form of government under which they arc to live, the opportunity of being heard in their own cause, of puttingforward and substantiating their reasonable complaints, before they are practically shelved for an indefinite period; but that there should be fall and ample time to consider attentively - and maturely the Ministerial propositions, introducing the amend ments necessary to remove the many grave and serious objections that are entertained on all sides to the complicated details of the bill—we must not forget that Midsummer has arrived, and that the centrifugal force that usually disperses mem bers of both branches of the Legislature at this season, operates with more than usual power in consequence of the early commencement of the session—the sitting in November, and up to, and during a portion of, the Christmas holi days—neither hereditary nor representative legislators will, unless under very peculiar circumstances, consent to do more than a cer tain quantity of business during the legis lative period, and there is certainly no such power ful claim on their sympathies and indulgence in the present instance. The old adage that " all work and no play makes JACK a dull boy," finds many favourers within the Imperial Palace at Westminster, and our legislatorial "JAmis" have no notion of consenting to the introduction of any practice that will increase their natural dull ness, which is, perhaps, as largely developed as the most inveterate Conservative could desire. If proof were required as to the indisposition of the House to enter upon a task so arduous and so important at such a time, it would be found in the listless and wearied appearance of the scanty audience that could be attracted by the Indian debate. There were periods during the evening at which a " count out" might have brought the discussion to an ignominious termi nation, and afforded startling evidence to the Oriental subjects of Queen VICTORIA as to the carelessness and apathy with which their affairs were regarded. Even those who could be pre vailed upon, by the blandishments or ob jurgations of the whippers-in, to attend, paid little attention to the arguments of the speakers on either side, but lounged and slum bered on the almost empty benches, exhibiting pictures of persons in a state of happy and tran quil insonceance rather than of men engaged in the consideration of a great question materially affecting the welfare and happiness of 160, 000, 000 of human beings, acknowledging the same allegiance as themselves, or at least dependent on the protection of the Anglo-Indian Government. Surely, no better argument could be required in favour of the postponement, which is so essential to the correct solution of the great problem. If delay were, indeed, so dangerous as Sir CHARLES WOOD endeavours to show, who but himself is to blame for such a result. Why did he procrastinate so long ? Why did he refuse to give intimation of the nature of the measure he was about to bring forward until the 3(1 of June, when more than two-thirds of the Session had expired ? What reason, then, has he to complain if further time be required. As we have re peatedly pointed out, there is something more than suspicious in this undue precipitation, the reckless haste with which he attempts to force his bill through its various stages ; and it certainly looks as if its late introduction formed a portion of the plan of carrying by coup de main a measure which would not bear a searching inquiry, or calm and impartial Allis cussion. An attempt has been made to convert the rea sonable application for delay into a party question —a determined onslaught on the Joint-Stock Ad ministration, with a view to its overthrow, and the restoration of the " DErtav" Government. All the possible consequences of such a result are depicted in the most glowing colours, the alarmists giving full reins to their imagination as to the chain of events that might follow. The nation was to be involved in war—the promised Reform Bill indefinitely postponed the most fearful calamities encountered if th e repr e sentatives of the People should not consent to be good children, and to accept, blindfolded, whatever Sir CHARLES WOOD may please to offer—to vote black white, THEATRE ROYAL, HAY)LARKEIT.

Will the "EMPEROR' s Cup for 1853"—that sickening cup of most delectable Turkey Rhubarb, depicted by one of the artists of our sagacious and inimitable Punch— be quietly swallowed (with a wry face) by theAnTo- CRAT t Or will his insensate policy be carried to its utmost extravagance--will his forces cross the Pruth, and advance to the occupation of the Danubian Principalities ? In either event, the ulterior and inevitable consequence must be satis factory. Supposing, for example, on the one hand, that the CZAR consents to the intermediation of Austria with a view to the negotiation of some ingenious diplomatic compromise—the prestige of his authority in the East will have altogether evaporated. The pride of his despotism will have yielded to the chivalrous resolution of Turkey, aided by the support simultaneously accorded to Turkey by the French and British Governments. Russia may then " slope" as much as ever she tzkes towards Asia, according to the famous phrase of M. DE LAMARTINE—fOr thenceforth she can never dream of " sloping" towards Constantinople. So much, consequently, for the happy nature of the result tinder that contingency. Now let us consider for a moment the probabilities of the result brought about by the opposite conjecture. Suppose, therefore, on the other hand, that the Emperor NICHOLAS, enraged beyond measure by the inflexible bearing of the Sublime Porte — in other words, wholly' beside himself on finding his golden day-dream melting away at the very moment when it seemed to give promise of its realisation,—suppesing that his wrath be such at the disappointment, that for once he pays no regard whatever to the dictates of prudence, but marches his troops across the Russian frontiers, and so declares war against Turkey and her allies—he will find himself confronted in the attack, not merely by the patriotic ardour of the Osmanlis, but by the combined armaments also of the two most formidable powers of Europe, by the allied influence of the two mightiest races of Christendom. What the up shot of such an unequal contest would be, it were not difficult, of course, at once to antici pate. To question the result for an instant would be preposterous. The Pruth once crossed by the Cossacks—the French and British fleets now at the Dardenelles would advance to the opposite shores of the sea of Marmora, and take up their position in the waters of Constantinople. Pro bably they will penetrate yet further, traverse the Bosphorus, enter the Black Sea, bombard Odessa, and rifle the stores of Sebastopol. It was rumoured some time ago that the Emperor NAPOLEON had re solved, in the event of the Cossacks marching boldly upon the line of the Balkan Mountains, to ship 30,000 French soldiers across the -Mediter ranean, and disembark them at Constantinople. Whether this report be accurate or wholly suppo sitious, it is at least tolerably certain that there is at this moment an exceeding probability of a military as well as of a maritime movement against the AUTOCRAT. Possibly, therefore, some speedy advantage may arise both from Chobhani and from Satory. Even Mr. COBDEN-the great Apostle of Arbitration—will admit that it must require an iron gauntlet to crumple up Russia like a sheet of paper in the summary manner that he was the first to indicate. Consequently, with that knowledge before us, it is some satisfaction to he conscious that England and France are now equally on the alert in regard to the policy of the Emperor NICHOLAS, and to remember that, at the present moment, in proof of this, the union-jack and the tricolor are fluttering side by side at the Dardanelles. ruE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING- JUNE 24, 1853. in order that the heaven-born Minister should occupy the Musnud of the MOGUL, and exercise despotic sway over myriads of Hindoos. Liberals are appealed to, in order that they may abandon all their former professions, and, surrendering their independence, become the obedient serfs of the Minister—(and such a Minister o—ready0—ready to register his decree, and not venturing to prefer a remonstrance. They are even, with a puerile attempt at intimidation, warned that the division lists will be scrutinised, and the names of those who dare to vote in accordance with their con scientious convictions held up to public reproba tion. We do not desire to follow this puny menace. We would not so far insult Hon. Gen tlemen, as to suppose that they would be so unworthy of the positions in which they have been placed by the independent votes of duly qualified constituencies, as to be in any degree influenced by such unworthy twaddle. But we must also remind them that these votes will be published, aye, and closely scrutinised, and that the proof of their own independence on such an occasion may afford a strong claim to a renewal of confidence at a future time. It is ridiculous to say that the postponement of the question could lead to a change of Ministry, or even to the much dreaded dissolution of Parliament. Its only result would be, the passing of a short Act, extending the present system for one or two years, and ensuring the calm and attentive deliberation which our fellow-subjects in the East have a right to demand and expect at our hands.

There was a considerable gathering of spectators. Dur ing the play there was some very admirable cricket shown, and on the part of the Rugby gentlemen the bat ting was more like that which would be expected from old stagers than from those who are yet completing their studies. To-day, when the game will be resumed, it is expected there will, for many reasons, be a vast acces sion of company. Rugby having won the toss, took the bat in the first instance, commencing with Mr. Wills and Mr. Banks. The total of their first innings was 92. The Marylebone Club then went in and obtained 128. Rugby, who had now to fetch up a minority of 36, again went to work, and, as will be seen, with no small effect, for when "time" was called, they had lost but one wicket, and yet they had placed a score of 42 upon the paper.

MONIIY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL LYTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sake of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 3,000 American wore taken for export and on specula tion, The market closed firmly. American and Surat were tight ; other sorts without alteration. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 600 Pernam and Maranham at 6jd. to 61d., 60 Bahia at 6id., 400 Egyptian at 62d. to 911, and 1,500 Surat at 31d. to 40. per lb. Railway Shares were steady. In the Produce Markets this week business has been conducted to a moderate extent at steady prices. Tea has attracted most attention, although the dealers are not all prepared at present to pay the advances demanded by importers. The latter, on the other hand, abstain from pressing sales. Sugar has been taken sparingly, but is firm ; and in coffee not much has been doing. Rice has been in moderate demand at full rates • and for coc oa , also, there has been a steady sale. Cotton has been quieter. Tallow has been firm in consequence of the Russian dispute. The amount of bills drawn in the fortnight to last evening by the Hon. East India Company was as follows : Bengal.. Madras. . £459,434 14 8 44,151 13 9 Total £503,586 8 5 The following report upon the Mining Market is furnished by Messrs. R. Tredinnick and Co. : " Wheal Seaton has paid a dividend of 51. for the past two months, and the mine is looking well. Kir cudbright has paid another dvidend of ss. per share, making 20s. per share this year, yet the shares are sell ing at 51. ; another dividend is promised for the coming two months, Dolcoath shares, whi c h h ave rece d e d 651 . to 701., paid dividend of 21. for March and April months. Spearne Consols for January, February, and March ; paid 2s. 6d., and the shares are worth 91. to 101. ; of progressive mines, we are advised that the West Ding Doug looks well. Lelant Consols with more powerful drawing machinery would probably pay dividends. East Margaret is fast advancing, the steam stamps lately erected are now constantly at work ; seventy men are engaged on Tutwork, with 25,0001. of Tin Ore disco vered. West Darlington is divided into 1,024 shares, and the returns will probably materially increase in the course of two or three months. Leeds Town Consols is fast getting into lull play on the lodes ; machinery, at great expense, has been erected, and some of the lodes are now being effectively developed. A general meeting will shortly/be held, when a call of ss. per share will be made to erect steam stamping machinery." There is a much more buoyant market for public securities, and the feeling is certainly one of in creased confidence, although no positive informa tion has yet been received. The conclusion come to, appears to be that as circumstances have occur red to delay the entry of the Russians into the Moldavian provinces, there are strong reasons to hope that some amicable arrangement will be effected.

The circumstances related yesterday were given in evidence, after which the jury returned a verdict "That the deceased Francis James Picking de stroyed his wife and his own life, being at the time in a state of temporary insanity." METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION FOR IMPROVING THE DWELLINGS OF THE INDUSTRIOUS CLASSES. —The an nual general meeting of the shareholders in this under taking was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the report, and upon other business. Sir Ralph Howard presided, and amongst those present were observed the Right Hon. the Earl of Carlise, Lord Radstock, the Right Hon. Vis Count Ebrington, Lord Robert Grosvenor M.P., Lord Claude Hamilton, M.P., Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, M.P., &c. &c. The secretary having read the report, the chair man proposed the re-election of Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. and Mr. E. Hill as di rec t ors , w hi c h, a f ter a slight conversation, was agreed to. The chairman moved the adoption of the report, and stated that he re gretted very much that the dividend to be declared on this occasion amounted only to one and a half per cent. The rooms in Albert-street, Spitalfields, still remained unlet, the reason for which he could not account for, and that circumstance had thrown them out very consi derably. The committee lately appointed to consider the plan adopted by Lord Kinnaird, and other benevo lent persons, of buying old houses and again letting them out (instead of building new ones) had reported against its adoption by this society, for, notwithstanding 12 per cent. had been realised from one of the houses, the com mittee were of opinion that if it became known that the society were in the market to buy up such houses, they would rise so much in price that nothing could be realised from them. He concluded by moving the adop tion of the report. Dr. Southwood Smith seconded the motion, and stated that the society having given to their lodgers the means of removing filth, they had not had a single case of fever, a fact which must be hi g hly satis factory to the shareholders and the public. Mr. Smith moved, as an amendment to the report that a committee be appointed to consider and report upon the state of the accounts, and that this meeting be adjourned for that purpose. He considered the accounts to be in a very rotten condition, and kept in a very loose manner. A long discussion having taken place upon the matter the amendment was withdrawn, and the original motion was carried unanimously. A dividend of 14 per cent. having been declared, the usual compliment was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. ANNUAL DINNER TO UNION CHILDREN.—For some years past the parochial officers of St. Andrew, Holborn, St. George the Martyr, and St. Sepulchere Without, have, by private subscriptions, given every poor child, of both sexes, in their several unions, a day's recreation and substantial dinner in the month of June, and yester day the children were conveyed in caravans to High bury Barn Tavern grounds, where an agreeable repast was prepared for the m . They all looked healthy, and seemed highly delighted with the day's pleasure. Some of their parents had been tradesmen and householders in the parishes. DEFEAT OF RUSSIANS IN THE CAUCASUS.—The Porta fogio Maltese, of the 11th, quotes letters from Trebizond, announcing that the Czar having ordered Lieutenant- General Wrevsky to attack Schamyl in his capital of Argille, the Circassians saw themselves closely invested on 13th April, by 40,000 Russians, and 36 field-pieces. Partial attacks wer e ma d e by th e latter on different points ; but Schamyl, prudently avoiding a general bat tle, manoeuvred to get the Russians in such a position as to close up their retreat and prevent their advance, and succeeded completely. He then attacked them on all sides, and routed them with great havoc, 23 guns, and an immense quantity of provisions falling into his hands. Five battalions of Poles and irregular troops went over to the Circassians on that occasion, and Schamyl subse quently issued a proclamation, declaring that Russian deserters are henceforward to receive his protection. A SHARK IN THE CLYDE.—A few days ago, whil e Mr. Day, from Glasgow, was walking along the G-are loch shore, near Roseneath Castle he noticed a large fish floundering in the shoal water near the margin. Having neither hook, pike, nor l e i s t er, M r. Day at tacked it with a stout stick, but the fish showed fight, snapped at the stick, and broke it in three pieces before it could be secured and shoved on shore. It proved to be a male shark, fully four feet in length. The mouth of the " sea lawyer," which was eleven inches in breadth and thirteen in depth, was armed with a formidable, array of sharp teeth, and had it not got into shoal water, the capture, of course, would not have been an easy or a safe one. This is the second shark, which has been caught on the Gareloch within a short time,— North British Afail, 10 25 10 1.0.6 10 20 20 20 12i 124 12 St. PORTUGUESE DEBT. The following has been received with regard to the debt of Portugal ;—The writer conceives that the time has arrived when the British Government should inter fere to protect the bondholders from the confiscations enforced by the Cabinet :at Lisbon, and, although it may be urged that there would be no end of foolish loans to foreign states if the responsibility of collecting them were once recognised by an English Minister, it must be borne in mind that if by our interference. we maintain in power a dishonest foreign Government, that would otherwise have been expelled, we then incur a liability to maintain the rights of the creditors who are injured by it. If the Government of Portugal had been left without the assistance of England a different order of things would now have prevailed, in which the position of the bondholders might have been far lees de plorable. It is also to be pointed out that, so long as the representatives of nations whose position is analogous to that of an uncertificated bankrupt among individuals are received with honour at the British Court, a counte nance is afforded which, inasmuch as it counteracts the moral force of public opinion, is unfair to the creditors of such nations, and therefore entitles them to some aid in compensation for the damage thus inflicted. At the same time it is to be remarked, that the best remedy against all dishonest Governments lies in tho hands of the mercantile community themselves, if they will but steadily use it. They have only to be true to one an other, and no nation in the situation of Portugal can long maintain itself. Unhappily the great difficulty is to induce them to keep this fact always in view ; but the steady way in which they have discountenanced the schemes of those who have endeavoured to raise capital for the projected Portuguese railway, coupled with the astonishment recently expressed when it was announced that a leading London house had actually made arrange ments to introduce a new Spanish loan, warrant the hope that in such matters an improved feeling is rapidly growing : " London, .Juno 23, " Sir,- —lt is now just six years since Lord George Ben tinck stood before the House of Commons as the advocate of the orphans and widows of those veterans in the British service who had vested the earnings of their lives in Penin sular bonds, and in a most energetic speech appealed to her Majesty's Ministers to do that which was the duty of the Government of every civilised State—namely, to pro tect every subject under them who was unjustly treated. He appealed to them to protect those unfortunate bond holders, and to make their bonds valuable in spite of the bad faith of the debtor States, and finally moved,—` That an address be presented to her Majesty, humbly praying that her Majesty may be graciously pleased to take such. steps as may be deemed advisable to secure for the British holders of unpaid foreign bonds redress from the respective Governments.' "This4Peal was responded to by Lord Palmerston in the following memorable words : " ' Although I entreat the House, upon grounds of public policy, not to impose at present upon Her Majesty's Go vcr2ment the obligation which the proposed address would throw upon them, yet I would take this opportunity of warnio,c; foreign Governments who are debtors to British subjects, that the time may come when this House will no longer sit patient under the wrongs and injustice inflicted upon the su;.!jects of this country. I would warn them that the time may come when the British nation will not see with tranquillity the sum of 150,000,000/. clue to British subjects and the interest not paid ; and I would warn them that, if they do not make proper efforts adequately to fulfil their engagements, the Government of this country, what ever men may be in office, may be compelled by the force of public opinion and by the votes of Parliament to depart from that which has hitherto been the established prat Lice of England, and to insist upon the payment of debts due to ' British subjects. That we have the means of enforcing the rights of British subjects I am not prepared to dispute. It is not because we are afraid of those States, or all of them put together, that we have refrained from taking the steps to which my noble friend (Lord G. Bentinck) would urge us. England, I trust, will always have the means of ob taining justice for its subjects from any country upon the face of the earth. But this is a question of expediency, and not a question of power ; therefore, let no foreign country who has done wrong to British subjects deceive itself by a false impression, either that the British nation or the British Parliament will for ever remain patient ac quiesoents in the wrong, or that, if called upon to enforce the rights of the people of England, the Government of England will not have ample means at its command to obtain justice for them.' "Language such as this, spoken six years ago, ought to tell with tenfold force on the mind of the noble Lord who uttered it, and I humbly submit that the time has now arrived for calling upon the Government and the British Parliament to enforce the rights of British subjects credi tors on the Government of Portugal. Portugal, the hitherto highly favoured ally of Great Britain, has again violated national faith, international law, and her most solemnly pledged engagements; British subjects have already sacri ficed to the supposed wants of the Portuguese Government no less than 6,250,0001. sterling within the last 13 years, and they are now threatened, under an arbitrary decree, dated the 18th of December last, and which has been confirmed by the Cortes, with the absolute confiscation of two-fifths of the interest on the reduced capital which remains to them. This fraudulent treatment must be put a stop to. Such conduct is without a parallel ; it strikes at the root of all commerce, and the whole commercial body should speak out, and require their representatives in Parliament to inter pose and compel Portugal to act honestly. The British press has nobly done its duty, and so has the committee of the Stock Exchange; and I respectfully submit that we have an undoubted right to call upon our own Government,every member in the prMent Parliament, and Lord Palmerston, and Lord John Russell, one of the representatives of the first city in the world, in particular, to do theirs, by pro tecting to the uttermost the most sacred claims and un doubted rights of their constituents and fellow-subjects. " I enclose my card, and if you will kindly give pub licity to this communication you will confer a lasting obligation on every holder of Portuguese securities. " ONE OF THE VICTIMS." BILLS vroN INDIA.—The amount received at the treasury of the East India-house for bills upon India from the Bth to the 23d inst. was 503,5861. NEW AUSTRIAN LOAN.—The statement that a new Austrian loan mutt be contracted in the course of a few months Vienna is denied. The denial, however, can not alter the fact that the usual annual increase to the debt of the country is inevitable in one form or another and it therefore seems merely to confirm the assumption that the recent device for augmenting the capital of the bank had no other object than that of furnishing a new means of getting over the difficulties of the present year. The public attention that would be excited by the usual direct demand of 8,000,0001. is thus in some degree avoided, and, although the financial result must be the same, less inquiry is awakened with regard to the ques tion as to how long a nation governed on military in stead of commercial principles can hope to postpone the date at which its borrowing powers will end in bank ruptcy. NATIONAL BRAZILIAN MINING ASSOCIATION. —A meeting of the shareholders of this association took place yesterday, with the view of arranging preliminary measures for either reorganising or winding up its affairs. It was explained that the cause of non-success arose from defective management, the agricultural and mineral resources of the property having never been properly developed. After some discussion it was agreed to appoint a. committee to investigate the affairs of the company, and to confer with Mr. Oxenford, the sole surviving director and trustee, on the ultimate measures to be recommended. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S REGlMENT.—According to a general order, dated June 18, her Majesty has been graciously pleased to command that the 33d Regiment of Foot shall henceforward bear the name of "The 33d (or the Duke of Wellington's) Reginient," which ho nourable distinction will be inscribed on the colours of the regiment. The 33d was the first regiment of which the late lamented Duke of Wellington became the com manding officer, and with it the duke saw much active service in India. THE GREAT FIRE IN FiNsßußv.—The fire which broke out in the patent felt works, Lamb's-passage, l3unhill-row, Finsbury, on Wednesday afternoon, was not entirely extinguished at ,?loon yesterday, although two powerful "dummies" had been employed through out the whole of the previous night in pouring water upon the smouldering ruins. A very searching inquiry was made yesterday by the brigade authorities and the proprietors of the works, for the purpooe of ascertaining bow the calamity was occasioned, but nothing additional as to the origin could be learned beyond the supposition that some tow had ignited spontaneously. From the wiry ey made yesterday there seems every probability that tine principal portion of the valuable machinery will be reeoTered from the ruins, which, if such should prove to be the case, will decrease the amount of loss be tween 2,50G 1 . and 3,0001. The whole of the stock in trade stored away in the three floors of the western part of the factory is destroyed, and the flames have travelled along the top floor of the western side of the factory, destroying in their progress the roof. The whole of the rooms immediately under the machine-rooms are like wise seriously damaged by fire and water. The offices which will suffer by the disastrous event are the Atlas and West of England Fire-offices. The same premises have been destroyed by fire three or four times pre viously. Total... M. C. C.

During the present week, the arrivals of English wheat up to our market coastwise, have amounted to 2,810 quar ters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent. Fresh up to day the receipts were limited, and the show of samples was trifling. The demand, however, was somewhat inac tive, at about Monday's prices. For forward delivery next to nothing was doing. The imports of foreign wheat have been only 6,250 quarters. Good red Baltic parcels were in moderate re quest, at full quotations. In other kinds very little was doing on former terms. Floating cargoes were dull, yet scarcely any change took place in prices. Wo were very scantily supplied with all kinds of barley, which moved off steadily at very full prices. Mc sale for malt was firm, at fully last month's quota tions. The oat trade ruled steady, and in some instances Mon day's currency was rather exceeded. Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, at late rates. English .. Irish .... Foreign .. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Barley. I NI alt. 20 2,C50 6,280 7 - 80 I Wheat. Oats.

For all breeds we hal a steady, though by no means active, inquiry, at Monday's prices. The primest Scots were worth 4s Gd per 81bs. Although the numbers of sheep were on the increase, the sale for that description of stock was brisk, at full quotations. The primest old Downs realised 4s 10d per Sibs. There was a steady demand for lambs, at fully the late advance. Prices ranged from 5s to Gs 4d per 81bs. The veal trade was firm, on former terms. Pigs were un altered in value.

BOROUGH HOP. The plantation accounts being more favourable, the duty has been done at 130,0001. The demand for all kinds of hops is steady, at extreme quotations. Mid and East Kent pockets, 126 s to 180 s; Weald of Kent, 120 s to 140 s ; and Sussex, 115 s to 132 s per cwt. COLONIAL. SUGAR.—There has been scarcely so much firmness in the market for British plantation, but fair sales have been made. At auction Barbadoes has realised 33s to 37s Gd for low mid to fine, and crystalised Demerara 37s to 39s Gd for good and fine, and 31s to 36s for ord brown to good mid grocery. East India.—Privately there has been a fair de mand, but at auction very little has been offered—Bengal went at fuller rates, good mid and fine white 36s Gd to 38s 6d, Benares damp 35s 6d to 38s, Mauritius good and fine yellow brought 35s to 36s 6d, low and mid 33s to 34s Gd, good and fine brown 31s to 32s 6d, and good and fine syrupy yellow 36s Gd to 38s. Foreign has been steady. At auc tion Porto Rico sold very high, low and mid grey and yel low 35s to 37s 6d, and good and fine grocery 37 s Gd t o 41s 6d. In refined there has been a large business, grocery lumps being taken at 45s 6d to 48s per cwt. COFFEE.—Business has been slack in most descriptions, but Plantation Ceylon has been most readily taken. Pub licly mid and good coloury have realised 56s to 645, good and fine ord dingy 52s to 52s Gd, and peaberry 63s to 70s. Native Ceylon, by auction, bletight 52s 6d for fine ord brownish, 57s for low mid, and 46s 6d for common. Mocha has been cheaper, but the sales have been limited. Cocoe.—This article - is wanted at — the previous rise. Publicly Trinidad has realised 34s to 36s 6d for mid and good ord, and 30s to 33s for ord and good grey. Grenada low to mid grey has been sold at 28s to 31s, and mid and good grey at 33s to 345. Dominica brought 24s to 28s 6d for ord to mid grey. RlCE.—Sales have been made at full rates. Coringa brought 9s 6d to 10s for low mid, and mid and Bengal 103 to lls 6d. _ _ _ -- --- ---- ARROW-ROOT.—Good Bermuda has realised lid to 114 d, St. Vincent 4d to 44c1, and Jamaica 4d.

Jamaica ginger has been sold at 46s to 1008 for small to mid bold white. COTTON.—There has been no alterations. TEA.—More business has been done since the public sales. Mid and good common Congou have been the qualities most in demand. TALLOW.—There is a steady business doing at full prices. P.Y.C. is at 48s 6d to 49s on the spot. GREEN FRUIT.—The arrival of Oranges has been on extensive scale, and the prices lower, giving the public the benefit of the reduced duty—several parcels sold by Keel ing and Hunt at public sale, went at a reduction of 3s to 5s per box. Lemons are scarce, but as the bad weather has checked the demand, prices have not improved. Nothing doing in Nuts, the season for thearticle being partially over, prices may be considered nominal. HARBOUR OF REFUGE AT JERSEY.—The Government works at the harbour of refuge at St. Catherine's, Jersey, are rapidly progressing. The extent of the breakwater is 2,500 feet. The head of the breakwater is to be formed of large blocks of granite, built up from the bot tom of the sea. Divers are arriving at the works to prepare the foundation. The area of the harbour will be 70 acres ; 30 of which will be 30 feet deep at the lowest tides. We regret to announce the recent demise of our talented contributor who, under the nom, de plume of " The Spirit of the Turf," has furnished sporting articles for upwards of eight years to The Sun. It may be men tioned, as an illustration of "the ruling passion strong in death," that to a determination to witness the late Derby, although previously confined to the house from severe illness, may be ascribed the rapid change which ended fatally. On not being able to rise from his bed on the Friday following the Derby, he suggested, as he said, " a rough sort of comparison" between himself and the late Mr. Crockford, who went to the Derby and (lied on the Oaks (lay. He was one of the first of that now rather numerous class, the sporting prophets, having made his first essay in 1845, and at once took first rank in his department, a position he maintained indisputably to the close of his life. I?equiescut in pace! WAGES MOVEMENT IN SOUTHAMPTON.—A meeting took place at the Guildhall of the town of Southampton, by permission of the Mayor, on Tuesday evening last, the 21st, of the journeymen painters, plumbers, and glaziers, to appeal to their masters for au advance of Gd. per day on their wages. They make this application on the ground that the price of provisions has so much risen, that they are worse circumstanced than they were before. There were upwards of 500 persons at the meeting. A deputation was ultimately appointed to wait on their employers with their appeal to-day. In the present prosperous condition of trade, it is but just and reasonable that employers should increase the reinu peratiou of their men. SHARE MARKETS. -(THIS DAY.) BRITISH RAILWAYS. RAILWA TS.

TOT S , o f; DAY.—TheP first trial trip, in which the prinuiP w : g t i e it ne esular and Oriental Company have taken part tu ce w ship Valetta, has just taken place. In this ins b o µ; pleasure was evidently considered as not injurious ness, and instead of selecting the measured mi le in St° Bay, as is usual on similar occasions, a trip to was decided upon, as being a means by which all neues e t,l ends might be gained. The party comprised the prir i e r i portion of the directors of the company, CaPtain due, the superintendent ; A. Lamb, Esq., chief en gineer; and other gentlemen, whose business on the oc l o p guaranteed their presence. All the gentlemen Were d board the night previous to the vessel's departur e, 0 %1 at 3.40 a.m. yesterday the Valetta got under weigh,eo Cherbourt reached Cherbourg about 10.30 the same morning, w i ,f fo r she remained until this day. At 3.45 a.m. she A 4. lel: 40 , Southampton, and got abreast of the Needles f o r deducting about a qua rter of an hour f or stli pages, gave her a run of about 60 mi les in 4 hours ant 15 minutes. About eleven o'clock the Valetta was *, her moorings in the docks. Wh en she started t." Valetta was drawing 1 lft. 10in. forward and 12ft. 4in . aft ; and f rom th e consumption of coals during the volee she had upon her return lightened about 14 ill. , mean average time of her speed was 4 min. 2 sec., being r at the rate of 14.958 knots, or 17 1-5 statute miles P hour. During the stay of the gentlemen at C herbour g they inspected the new ship Austerlitz, of 100 guns , se ha other of the lions in connection with the place. Valetta is one of t he che f d'ceuvres of Mr. Mares h esli; blishment, at Bla,ckwall. Her machinery, whicvi previously stated to be 400-horse power, was m anufa c : tured by Messrs. Penn and Sons, with Lamb's patent flu' boiler. ta.t•necl M A YNOOTH COLLEGE.—Yesterday a return 0e...1- by Mr. Spooner was issued, giving a detailed accounted the expenditure of 2 , 1891 . 19 s. lid., which wa s e i t t t d in a Parliamentary paper of 1851, then unexp enae " the grant of 1843, to put Maynooth College in rep Since 1850, 1,9071. 2s. 3d. has been voted for repel , 114 which by the return had been expended b ut 411. ss. ;X" which was applicable to works. ;ous. 72 1 - ii 70 - 72 65 - 70 21 - 3i p 4 - 1 I) Banes this de.
