PORTSMOUTH, JULY 15. The Encounter, 14, Captain O'Callaghan, left this morning at 4 o'clock in search of the D u k e of Welling ton, and to order her back to Spfthead by the 28th inst.; but owing to the violence of the weather she put back to St. Helen's roads this afternoon. The fleet at Spit head, owing to the gale, struck topgallantmasts and royal yards this afternoon at 4 O'clock. The Vivid steam packet, Master Commander Smithett, having landed a portion of the Russian Royal family at Torquay, returned through Spithead on her way to Dover this morning. Captain A. C.

Yea, which has for some time been stationed in this citadel, left this morning, at 5.45, by the South Devon Railway, for Chobham. The, train consisted of 17 second and two first class carriages, drawn by the engines Comet, Meteor, and Priam, in charge of Mr. Cockshott, the company's traffic superintendent, and conveyed 31 officers, 818 men, 11 women, and 3 children. Among these was a detachment of 30 men and the Quartermaster of the 35th Royal Sussex Regiment, sta tioned at Devonport, who are gone on to Chobham to take up the camp equipment for head-quarters, which leaves early to-morrow morning, under com mand of Colonel Fraser. Brigade-Major Wetherall superintended the departure of the 7th Regiment, which is appointed to arrive at Slough at 2.30 p.m., whence the men will have a nine miles' march on a good road to the encampment. The 93d Highlanders, under Colonel Rothe, from Chobham, is expected here to-day ; they will be stationed at Devonport. The 50th Queen's Own, under Colonel de Burgh Sidley, will arrive to-morrow, and take up their quarters in Plymouth citadel. The 50th Regiment, which broke up from camp at Chobham, at 2 o'clock this morning, left Slough at half past 6 a.m., Bristol at 2 p.m., Exeter at half-past 6, and arrived here at half-past 10. The train consisted of 21 carriages. A second train, with the 93d Regiment from Chobham, is now at Plympton, distant five miles. REMOVAL OF TROOPS FROM THE CAPE.—We have been for some time past aware that it was intended by the authorities to order the removal of some of the troops from the Cape of Good Hope on the cessation of the war in Kafirland, and it is now decided that the fol lowing changes will immediately take place :—The Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel George Buller, who left England for the Cape on the 2d of Jan., 1852, are to return to Eng land ; the 12th Prince of Wales Royal Lancers, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Pole, who left England for India on the sth of July, 1851, but were detained on their arrival at the Cape of Good Hope for service against the Kafirs, are now to proceed to India to relieve the 15th (King's Light Dragoons (Hussars), under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel George Wm.t Key, the regiment having been on service in India since 1839. THE NEW CAB ACT. (Erom the Morning Advertiser.) It will be observed that, during the week, the police offices have had considerable business on hand, in con sequence of the new Cab Act, which came into opera tion on Monday last. Complaints have been preferred against the drivers by the fares, and against the fares by the drivers. There is evidently a wish on the part of the public to get the full advantage of the act which has Just come into operation, and, on the part of the drivers, there is a determination, equally natural, to make the. most of the new arrangement. It is very probable that a better understanding of the act will show both parties that the new arrangement, if properly carried out, will distribute its benefits so as to leave them pretty much as they were before the act came into operation. -We observe that some gentlemen, not satisfied with the advantage derivable from the reduction of fares, have been unmindful of the new enactment relative to the time a cab may be kept waiting for them after it has been hired. At the present reduced fares, considering tl a rate at which the drivers pay for their cabs and horses, it is said to be necessary, in order to secure a fair profit, that the cab should be employed all day. If there be an hour lost in waiting for a fare, the returns will not be s u ffi c i ent to pay t h e d r i ver f or his risk. If this should be an exaggerated statement, it is still very evident that a driver cannot afford to take his fare a t sixpence a mile, and also to lose a considerable time in waiting for that fare to get ready. In one of the cases presented to the Marlborough -street magistrate for an immediate decision, a gentleman, it appears, had kept the cab waiting for an hour and a quarter, for which he had to pay two shillings and sixpence in addition to his fare. It will be seen that the rate charged for time under the now act, is higher than formerly, and the drivers finding themselves subject to a large reduction in their charges for distance, will endeavour to make up for the loss by charging for time. We think a proper under standing of the act will be advantageous for all parties. While it will keep the drivers from extortionate charges, it will at the same time assist them in making up the necessary receipts for the day, by preventing the loss of time in waiting on their hirers. On the other hand, if the public complain of the charge of sixpence for every quarter of an hour, in which they keep the driver wait ing, they will have their relief in the reduction of fare, and being duly apprised of the new arrangement, they can avoid the charge by not unnecessarily consuming the time of the cabman. The new act evidently has respect to the proper value of time to the driver, and we think as the ict comes to be appreciated, a good deal of the dissatisfaction which was at first felt on the ranks will cease. If by the gradual working of the new act the demand for cabs should greatly increase, time will be of more value to the driver than under the old regulation, and he will find a considerable advantage in the provision which has been made for him by the increased price set on this valuable article. To the cabmen, as well as to other people, hours are the stuff that life is made of; and we suppose that he will find the rate at which his hours are valued, such as to make a cabman's life worth something, notwithstanding the alarm whi c h h a s been during the week so loudly expressed. We foresee considerable disagreement between par ties, and the ground of much dissatisfaction in set tling about the first quarter of an hour of waiting after a cab has been called. If a cab has been kept waiting for fourteen minutes, the driver is not entitled to charge for time ; but if he should be kept one minute more, he is entitled to his sixpence. If gentlemen are disposed to take advantage of the strict letter of the law, they may escape by being just within the quarter of an hour, to their own great satisfaction, and the great annoyance of the cabman. We can see that in the working of the act some change may soon become re quisite on this point. We would suggest that for any time the cab may be kept waiting at the commence ment of the journey, or for any intervals, the driver should be at liberty to charge at the rate of two shillings an hour. If the provision relative to tune be just in principle it should be carried out in detail, and then there would be the avoidance of irritation and loss to the driver, and those who hire his cab would understand that they were liable to pay for every minute they kept the cab waiting at their doors. We call attention at the same time to the very ex cellent manner in which the worthy magistrate of Bow street has interpreted the clause respecting the convey ance of luggage. " When more than two persons shall be carried inside, with more luggage than can be car ried inside the carriage, a further sum of 2d. for every packa g e outside shall be paid by the hirer, in addition to the fare." At the same time the cab is not to be converted into a market cart, even though but one per son should ride therein, and his luggage should consist of that delicious and fragrant fruit, the pine apple. We recommend that the act shall be fairly expounded, and that all parties shall assist in having it fairly tried, and we hope it will yet be found fraught with less evil and more good than has been anticipated on both sides.

THE ELEVEN OF ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO OF I ZINGARI. This important and benevolent match, which was announced for Thursday, was commenced yesterday, at the Oval, when, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, we found that many persons had assem bled to witness the proceedings, as well as to contribute towards the testimonial of which this match was the indication, to old Beagley, one of the celebrated cricketers of former days. The noblemen and gentlemen of I Zin gari, with the Surrey Club and the Eleven of All Eng land, arranged a match, the proceeds of which, in addi tion to subscriptions, are to find their way into the pockets of a deserving old cricketer. The untoward weather ou Thursday necessarily caused a postponement of the play, and although yesterday did not bring any very great improvement in that respect, yet the noble men and gentlemen were determined that the charitable object which they had in view should not be frustrated even by the elements ; therefore, the match, was com menced, and broken off, and resumed as the rain would permit. It is but an act of justice to state that the Eleven of England, who give their services gratuitously, willingly entered into the arrangement. THE ELEVEN. First Innings.

The second sailing match of the season amongst yachts of this very excellently-conducted club came off yester day, but owing to the very heavy rain of the previous day and gloomy appearance of the morning, was not so numerously attended as on the first occasion, but still there was a much larger party on board tb e club steamer (the Gannett) than could reasonably have been expected. The following were the competitors :-- FIRST CLASS. • Yachts. Tons. Owners. Undine Julia Valentine 8 Irresistible 8 SECOND CLASS. Ruby Blue-eyed Maid. • Idas The prizes were very handsome, and the distance from Blackwall to Gravesend and back. Mr. Berncastle, the indefatigable commodore, assisted by Mr. Gordon Ifonsec, having seen that the boats were all at their stations, they made a capital start at 4:3 minutes after 11, all cantina- round very prettily—the Julia, first under weigh, followed by the Valentine and Blue-Eyed Maid. The wind was free down, but squally, and with flowing fib eets the little fleet pursued their way ; but, ere their arrival at Woolwich, the Valentine had gone into the first place, the Julia being second, the Blue- Eyed Maid third, the "incline fourth. In this order they contii lued all the way down, and arrived at Graves. end in the following order : hr. min. sec. ] Valen tine 1 50 1 2 Julia . . 1 5 7 37 Blue.] eyed Maid 2 0 25 Undin e 2 1 57 Idas 2 3 58 There v.,: i.s some heating in the return. but no mate rial c h ange , and after acquitting themselves very excel lently, t h e boats finished thus : hr. min. sec.

GLOUCESTER, JULY 15.----The unfortunate weather which marred the show yesterday changed this morning to a brilliant sunshine and a pleasant breeze from the west, which speedily dried up the moisture with which the yard was overcharged on the preceding day. In the incorrigibly miry parts the application of sawdust, of which an unlimited supply was procured from some neighbouring steam saw mills, rendered something like a passage possible, and in consequence the whole exhi bition, from the magnificent short-horn to the common gander, and from the newest reaping machine down to the model for an improved wheelbarrow, had their re spective quota of admirers. The reduction of the price of admission from 2s. Gd. to is., as from the first an nounced in the programme, contributed with the fineness of the weather to bring out visitors, not from the town only, but from all the neighbourhood ; and special trains from Cheltenham, Stroud, and other towns were arriving every hour. By twelve o'clock not fewer than 13,000 persons had entered the grounds ; and it would be a very moderate calculation that should assign 20,000 as the number that would enter the show-yard to-day. Yesterday, notwithstanding the wet, the number of visi tors amounted to more than 11,000. GENERAL MEETING. The closing act of the society at Gloucester was the general meeting of the members, which was held in the Shire Hall at ten o'clock in the forenoon. The attend ance was very thin, and the business for the most part was of a formal nature. Lord Ashburton, the president of the society, occupied the chair. Thanks were voted in succession to the Mayor and Corporation of Glouces ter ; to Mr. Jones, of Sheep Farm, on whose lands the show was held, and who had sown a field of rye for the express purpose of having a crop early enough to test the reaping machines in the presence of the members ; and to the railway company, for the facilities they had afforded in conveying the implements and stock. Mr. Raymond Barker, seconded by Sir Matthew White Rid ley, moved a vote of thanks to Lord Ashburton, for the attention he had devoted to the society during his year of office. Lord ASHBURTON returned thanks, and a ft er some further conversation the meeting separated. THE QUEEN AND THE LITTLE ITALIAN BOY.—Another instance of her Majesty's benevolence and kindness of heart evinced itself on Tuesday last, at the Windsor sta tion of the South-Western Railway. The Queen's ma ternal anxiety for her children at Windsor Castle in duced her to travel from London in private to see them on 'the day in question; consequently, the customary guard of honour and the usual state formalities were dis pensed with upon this occasion, and her Majesty's arri val at Windsor was witnessed only by a few persons who happened to be strolling about the precincts of the sta tion. The Queen proceeded to the Castle through the private grounds on the north side of the park, the en trance to which opens immediately upon the South- Western station. On her Majesty's return, about two hours afterwards, some people had congregated to wit ness her departure, and among them stood a poor Italian boy, with his rude frame of images upon his head. The fine expressive countenance of the lad was observed by the naturally quick and scrutinising eye of the Queen, and she herself beckoned the youth to follow her, which he did to the vestibule attached to the elegant suite of apartments provided for her Majesty at the sta tion. The boy, conscious that it was the Queen who had summoned him, hurried to the porch, in a state of be wilderment, with his images upon his head, when one of the officers present seeing his confused state assisted in bringing him and his board of images to the feet of the Sovereign. With that benignant and gracious smile so peculiar to the Queen she gazed for a moment upon the youth, and then selected from his little stock the infant Daniel, praying, a Venus, and the lady at her bath. After liberally rewarding the little fortunate vendor of the fine arts, the Queen had her purchases placed in the train, in which her Majesty in a few minutes afterwards took her departure. This act of her Majesty is another of the many proofs of her great condescension and good ness of heart. NEW CURATIVE AGENT.—A countryman, the other day, called on a doctor here, complaining of a pain in his leg, and beseeching hirii that as he thought his spine was affected, he would give him a touch of the Electric Telegraph ! The doctor advised him to apply at the Railway Office.--Elgin Courant. THE CAMP AT CIIOBHAM COMMON. The unfortunate new regiments have commenced their camping career under most inauspicious circumstances. To attempt to describe the state of the ground is almost useless—it is literally one vast quagmire, and the trampling about of the infantry and cavalry, consequent upon the change of troops, has made it, if possible, a thousand times worse than it otherwise would have been. With this preamble, we need hardly say that nothing in the way of moving the troops was attempted yesterday, or is likely to be for some days to come, even should fine weather set in. Cattin's Valley, in front of the camp, and the high plain on the side of the Bagshot-road, in the rear of the lines, were generally the places selected for the evolution of the troops on field days. But for the next few days both these places are out of the question. Each in its way is now a miniature representation of Highland scenery, the plains being covered with broad shallow sheets of water, out of which the slopes and hills stand in place of headlands and promontories. It will require two or three days of hot sunshine to do away with this picturesque waterpiece, and of course until it is done away no field day can take place upon it. Yes terday morning, at two, the 93d Highlanders and 50th Regiment turned out to commence their march, the one for Windsor, and the other to Woking. Both corps were ordered to be on their journey by four o'clock, but with the thousand delays which seem to be necessary on such occasions, it was six o'clock before they de filed of the ground in sections of fours. Shortly after their departure, a rather serious disturbance took place between the privates of the 88th (the celebrated Con naught Rangers) and the keeper of their canteen. We believe that when the 88th arrived on Thursday evening at their cantonments they not unnaturally began to look about them for such creature comforts as the place afforded ; and of course, after coming off a very long and fatiguing march, the men were not as a body in the best of humour. At the canteen, on Thursday evening, this spirit manifested itself in bickerings at the amounts charged them for bread, tobacco, and other necessaries, though it did not proceed beyond angry re monstrances with the sutler. Yesterday morning, how ever, the quarrel broke out afresh, and proceeded from mere complaints to more unmistakeable symptoms of disapprobation. A number of the men joined in the scuffle which took place in the sutler's tent. Many things got smashed, and at length it was necessary to call in the guard, who overpowered and secured those who had been foremost in the disturbance. About a dozen of the men were arrested, handcuffed, and lodged in the guard-tent, where they will remain in confine ment until a rigid inquiry has been instituted into the whole affair. This is the second affray which has taken place among the troops since the camp was formed, one having occurred between the men of the 95th and some of the privates of the Household Brigade. Both affairs, how ever, have been mere angry broils done in a moment of passion and excitement, which, though it is quite fit and proper they should be checked, and their originators strictly punished, still does not militate against the high character for general good conduct which, up to the present time, has distinguished the camp soldiers. The 88th is decidedly one of the most renowned corps in the British army. Whenever there have been deeds of clariog to accomplish, proofs of good military discip line to be given, or hard-fought battles to be won, the Connaught Rangers have always been foremost in the lists. We sincerely hope, therefore, that the result of the inquiry into the affray may be such as will clear the name of this distinguished regiment from having been the first to provoke aggression and disturb the peace of the camp. A little more attention seems to be paid to the corn forts of the women that follow the regiments among the new troops. When the troops are out on service a cer tain number of the best-conducted married women in each regiment are allowed to follow into the canton ments. For their accommodation tents are erected in the rear of the general line of tents, where they carry on their avocation as washerwomen to the officers. The public will recollect that at the time the camp was being con structed, a great deal of anxiety was felt by the authorities lest the horses of the cavalry regiments should suffer from exposure in the new fir-walled t stables. Yet the a ccommodation which these stables afforded was in every res p ect superior to the rud e h u t s which were deemed a sufficient shelte r for are within the best-conducted married women. We mark when we state that we never in any part of Ire. l an d saw more wretched hovels than thehinttles the pile of wattles placed at right angles with the bare grou n d, and thinly covered with a few branches of fir, under which the women had to live and sleep. Now, however, they are at least better covered, a strong st raw thatching ' having y been made over them at different ti mes by the of their respective regiments. Thi s , though byno means what it should be, is still a great improvement upon the first days of the camp. We thi n k , when so ma are being served out to each regiment, the Board ofy tents are Ord nance would not commit any very great extravagance in serving out two of the circular ones for the accommoda tion of the women who follow each corps. Perhaps the necessity for this may be seen at some future time, and the suggestion adopted. rr MOE SD. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. CORPORATION REFORM. A court was held yesterday, in which the old subject of Corporation Reform, by the Corporation itself, was the great point of discussion, and expression was given upon the occasion to a great variety of opinions. Mr. Deputy PEWTRESS brought up a report of the Reform Committee. It contained sundry propositions for the consideration of the court, of the essential parts of which propositions the following is a condensed statement : " That every male of, full age, and not subject to legal incapacity, on engaging fora year and a day a house, warehouse, counting-house, office, chambers for business, or shop, and rated to the police-rate to the amount of not less than 101., be entitled to i vote•for the election of alder men, common councilmen, and ward officers ; that a fur ther qualification be required for common councilmen, that each be possessed of 2,0001., and for aldermen, each be pos sessed of 10,000/. ; that there be one day for nomination and one day for election of all by the constituency, in the common hall ; that the lord mayor be chosen from the aldermen who have served the office of sheriff; that the election of lord mayor by the constituency be absolute ; that the constituency for all Common Hall elections include those proposed by the bill to vote at wardmote elections, as well as liverymen ; that the election of aldermen by wards be without any veto ; that the aldermen be elected septen nially ; that if any common councilman or alderman become bankrupt or insolvont, or compromise with his creditors, or absent himself from duty for more than six months conse cutively, except in consequence of illness or other reason able cause, or be convicted of fraud or other crime, he shall become disqualified, but that in case of debt the objection be removed by the payment in part of the demand upon him ; that the election of common councilmen be annual ; that the number of the common councilmen be reduced to 150, six to each of the 25 wards ; that the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen be continued as a separate court, and although for the future the whole of the city cash be under the control of, and expended by, the authority of the lord mayor, aldermen, and common council, in Common Council assembled, the Court of Lord Mayor and Alder men have the control for all purposes connected with the administration of justice, the police, the gaols, and the usual expenses of the conservancy of the river Thames. That the plan of the city be divided into 25 parts as nearly equal as may be. That all present members of the corpo ration should go out of office on a certain day after the passing of the proposed bill. That the former acts as to non-freemen be repealed, and that the street tolls be abolished." Mr. Deputy PEWTRESS, in moving that the report be printed and copies be distributed amongst the members of the court, said that every one of the propositions had been discussed in committee, in which he admitted there existed great differences of opinion upon the most essen tial points. Indeed, he might say that there was not one member of the committee who approved of the whole plan, a fact which was by no means extraordinary when the extent of the changes was taken into conside ration. He wished also to refer the report to the Con solidated Committee, with instructions to make what use of it they might consider expedient with regard to communication with the commissioners. Alderman WIRE seconded the motion. The propo sition had been, as every one knew, frequently dis cussed in the court. He supposed the only objection which could be made to the report was, that it came too late ; but all the important propositions had been made before ; and if they had been embodied in a bill long ago, as the advocates of reform had desired, there would be now no occasion for the interference of a Govern ment commission. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that the court would never reform itself, and there was a spirit abroad in opposition to municipal institutions, and in favour of centralisation. Now, since he had been a member of the corporation, many great reforms had taken place ; and it might not be forgotten that last year a bill had been sent into Parliament calculated to accomplish the great object of essential improvement, and rejected, in consequence of an opposition founded upon no tenable grounds. (Hear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said, the propositions involved many points to which he felt the most intense re pugnance. The Court of Aldermen was scarcely touched by any of the recommendations, and he could not think, for a moment, of allowing that court to exercise any control over the funds of the corporation. (Hear, hear.) The difference of opinion which prevailed in the com mittee was a most extraordinary fact, which the chair man himself was obliged to acknowledge, and, under all the circumstances, he felt convinced that it was his duty to move, as an amendment, "That the report do lie upon the table, and that the following motion, of which he had given notice, be substituted for the proposition of Mr. Pewtress :—That a Royal Commission having been issued to inquire into the state of the corporation, it be an instruction to the Reform Committee, appointed on the 22d day of March last, to take no further pro ceedings in the matter referred to it." Mr. Cox sillonded the amendment. Mr. WILLIAM JONES expressed much surprise at such an amendment. The court might be assured that the commissioners would hear of and ask for a document of so important a nature as that which had been read. (Hear.) He agreed almost entirely with the proposi tions. They contained most excellent matter, and he trusted that the court would enter as soon as possible into a discussion on their merits. (Hear.) Mr. Deputy BOWER said there could be no pretence for not presenting the report. It was quite evident that the proposer of the amendment was anxious to prevent the necessary proceedings of the court, in order that he might have the opportunity of earwigging the commissioners, with the view of having it all his own way. (Laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear.") What ever might be the result of the present motion, however, that very ungracious object would be sure to be de feated, as the commissioners were men upon whose im partiality and understanding the utmost reliance could be reposed. (Hear.) Mr. GILPIN said he was decidedly in favour of the original motion. There were some things in the pro positions which he deprecated, but there were other things in them which were calculated to open the way to a complete reform of the corporation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GRESHAM regretted that the subject of reform, which had been strongly agitated in 1833, had been allowed to sleep from that time to 1853, and that Mi nisters were obliged to acknowledge to all who ques tioned them upon the subject that no scheme of correc tion or improvement had been handed to them by those who ought to have been most active on the subject. Mr. DE JERSEY begged to be informed what was to be done with the report when it was printed, if the court agreed to so absurd a proposition. Why it was to be discussed ? for the discussions upon the propositions which had already been discussed over and over again, and about which all the members of the committee were at variance, would be interminable. (Hear, hear.) He wished the whole business to be decided upon by the commissioners, to whom the members and officers of the corporation would, of course, give all the information in their power. Mr. Deputy BENNOCH said it was true that the subject of reform had been discussed every year, but the friends of reform were continually thwarted in their object by such opponents as the gentleman who had just sat down and his friends. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Erziorr said the metropolis was much too exten sive and important to allow a sixteenth part of it to re gulate and direct its municipal affairs. There were va rious enormous inconsistencies which could no longer be allowed to remain in operation. It was monstrous that men elected for life should have command of the funds, and it was at variance with the principles of the consti tution that magistrates should be elected septennially. Mr. DAKIN spoke in favour of the original motion. Mr. T. H. HALL said there might be some excuse for printing the report if the opinions of those who formed the committee happened to be united in recommending the various propositions ; but it was obvious that they agreed upon no one material point contained in them. He hoped the commissioners would never consent to the proposition that the two courts should continue to be separate courts. (Hear, hear.) He also objected, amongst other things, to such a division of the wards as was recommended, as being calculated to occasion great confusion as to the ward charities and ward property. Mr. Deputy LOTT objected to several of the proposi tions. Alderman HUNTER said the original motion was made at a. very important time, and he could see no excuse for printing this report. Mr. NORRIS s trongly contended in f avour o f pr i n ti ng the report, and ridiculed the idea of keeping such a do cument a secret from the commissioners, whose shrewd ness would soon d e t ec t the object of those who advo cated its suppression. (Hear.) Mr. B. PHILLIPS and Mr. HENRY BLAKE spoke in favour of printing the report, and Mr. SIMPSON and Mr. Deputy BEDFORD and others opposed it. Mr. Deputy PENrraEss said the court would, if they refused to print the document, place themselves in a very unfavourable light before the public. He did not call upon them t o agree t o i t, b ut to discuss theimpor tant matters contained in it. If they withheld the in formation contained in it, they might justly be accused of want of sincerity as to their frequently-expressed wish for a real and valuable reform. (Hear, hear.) The Court then divided, after three hours' discussion, and the question of printing and distributing the report was negatived by a majority of 13. Mr. H. L. Taylor's amendment was then carried. THE SOAP DUTIES.--The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have directed Mr. Wilson to ac quaint the Commissioners of Customs—with reference to their Lordships' communication directing that no alteration should be made at present in the Customs' duties leviable on soap, notwithstanding the resolutions of the House of Commons of the 3d ult.—that their Lordships are now pleased to authorise them to levy the new rates of duties on the article in question, as laid down by the said resolutions, as soon as they shall re ceive this communication (dated the 11th inst.), and their Lordships are further pleased to authorise them to admit soap imported from Ireland into England and Scotland, duty free, from the same period. In pur suance of this communication from the Treasury the Commissioners of Customs have caused their Lordships' orders to be transmitted to their officers at the several ports throughout the kingdom for their information and future government. meneement of the week the weather was beautifully fine, and in conseqUence haymaking in the neighbourhood became very general, and in most cases the crops were ready for being carried on Wednesday evening. Late in the afternoon of that day, dark heavy clouds made their appearance, accompanied by the distant roll of thunder and intermittent flashes of lightning ; and about six o'clock the rain beg, 4 an to pour down in torrents, which continued, almost without intermission, until noon on Thursday. The banks of the Charwell speedily became overflown, and before nine o'clock at night the meadows adjoining were flooded in all directions. The immense quantity of hay outlying ready for being carried has been in the majority of cases completely swept away by the — force of the current, besides a great amount of damage having been done to the uncut grass. The large cornmill in the occupation of Messrs. J. and T. Staley is inundated to a greater extent than has been known for upwards of 50 years, and great fears are entertained for the safety of the building in consequence of the pressure of the vast body of water against it, and the rush through some fissures in the walls into several of the lower apartments. The family of Mr. Luddit, whose house adjoins the mill, was rescued before the water attained to a great height ; but several days must elapse before it is accessible. Mr. Edwards, of the Elephant and Castle Inn, has sustained a severe loss to his hay crops, which have been almost entirely swept away by the current, while other occupants of the low lands along the banks of the river as far as Edgecote have likewise been great losers. The line of the Oxford and Birmingham Railway, for nearly 100 yards on either side of the station, is completely flooded, and at an early hour this morning the water was not less than 18 inches deep immediately within the station. It, how ever, subsided to some extent before the ordinary day traffic commenced, so that, fortunately, little incon venience has been experienced. At Brackley, about 10 miles from this town, on the Buckinghamshire Railway, a great amount of damage has been done by the over flowing of the Ouse. Skem bridge was rendered quite impassable, and cattle and sheep were obliged to be ferried over in carts and waggons as early as Thurs day morning. So rapid was the flow of water in this neighbourhood that it rose no less than 18 inches in about half an hour, sweeping sheep and hay away in its destructive course. Mr. Edward Taylor, farmer ; Mr. Walsh, Wkeatsheaf Inn ; Mr. Jones, surgeon ; and many others, have suffered very severely by the inunda tion, and there is too much reason to believe that the hay crops in this neighbourhood will be entirely worth less. Mr. Smith, of Radetone, had a valuable horse killed by the lightning on Wednesday night. For seve ral miles in various directions the country presents the curious appearance of one vast lake, and in many places the water is rushing along with fearful rapidity. At Buckingham the river Ouse is much swollen by the heavy rain, and a great quantity of the low meadow land is under water, but we have not heard that any material damage has been done, except to the hay crops, which, as in th e case of Banbury and Brackley, are Tendered nearly valueless. CARNIARTHENSHIRE.—The severe storms which have 'burst over the face of the country have been the source of much injury in many parts of South Wales, and in Carmarthenshire great damage has been occasioned. The Vale of Llandowror, on the western side of the county, has been completely swept of hay, sheep, and those articles which could be carried away ; and this damage was inflicted in the course of a few hours, in consequence of the heavy falls, or rather deluges of rain, having so completely surged the streams that they over flowed their banks, and spreading far and wide caused great destruction. At Llandowro, where the main road from Carmarthen to Haverfordwest crosses the bridge, Mie waters accumulated until they capped the parapets, when the structure gave way, thus cutting off the com munication, and the down London mail, which came up shortly after, was unable to pass, the mails and passen gers taking a long round to cross. The consequence was that the mail was two or three hours late at Pem broke and Haverfordwest. The Towy was alsO much flooded, and in Pembroke the rains have been very heavy, with much thunder and lightning. LEICESTER, July 15.—From 1 o'clock yesterday till after 12 at noon there was an incessant fall of heavy rain in this neighboorhood, and the result is that the Soar and its tributaries have overflowed their banks and inundated the adjoining streets, gardens, and meadows to a very considerable extent. The overflowing in Lei ceiter commenced about 4 o'clock this morning, and the Water rose so rapidly that in the Braunstone-gate and adjoining streets it was speedily from two to three feet deep. The inhabitants of houses in the neighbourhood, in Great Holme-street, Watts's-causeway, and various other streets were unable to descend from their bed rooms without stepping into water of the depth just mentioned, and the houses in the Pingle, and some other places near the Soar, were also flooded. The factories of Messrs. Harris and Sons, Burgess and Podd, Rawson, Rust, and several other manu f ac t urers, h ave b een invaded,' so that the machinery cannot be set in motion, and some hundreds of hands are unable to get to work, the gar dens on the western side of the town are literally de stroyed, and large quantities of hay have been carried 9ff from the meadows. Mr. Birkley, of Woodgate, in this town, has lost the whole product of 18 acres, and in numerous instances, the crops of smaller inclosures have been carried away. The street from the West bridge to the Hinckley and Narborough road is covered to a depth of two or three feet, and a number of owners of horses and carts are driving a brisk trade in carrying passengers through the water, a distance of some 300 or 400 yards, at a penny each. At Loughborough the Wood Brook overflowed last night, and inundated all the low-lying part of the town in its neighbourhood. The damage to the hay crops in the valley of the Soar, in the neighbourhood of this latter town, is more exten sive than at Leicester. From various villages in the County through or near which brooks flow, the reports are very similar, the meadows and fields are inundated, and the hay is "swimming away." About 11 o'clock this morning the water began to recede in Leicester, and in the course of an hour and a half it had lowered two inches. The weather is fine. LANDSLIP AT BRISTOL.—Owing to the heavy rains of Wednesday and Thursday a large portion of land at the extremity of Brandon-hill, which overhangs Jacob's Wells, Bristol, gave way on Thursday morning and fell down on the houses beneath, causing a very considerable destruction of property. At the back of those houses are courtledges, and also behind that a wall had been erected for the purpose of protecting them from the floods from the hill, but the rain fell in such tremendous torrests, and gained so much force in descending the hill, and, being augmented by some waters from a super surface drain in connection with the National Schools, which are situated in the immediate vicinity, that it overbore the wall and carried it completely away for the length of six or seven houses. Some of the walls of the houses were shattered, the courts were considerably damaged, and the windows and doors were smashed in, to the great alarm of the inhabitants. The amount of the damage cannot yet be ascertained, but it must be very considerable. At Bedminster, near Bristol, the rivulets have overflow e d their banks, and placed large tracts under water almost to the hedgetops, and, in many places, fields of corn, and more especially barley, have been laid by the violence of the storm. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—YonK, JULY 14. TRIAL OF RAILWAY DIRECTORS FOR MANSLAUGHTER. Har ry p Ste .es pl t t en a Thompson, directors O of the Hicks andeorgehSey Seymour, . oui, Northand Samuel rz vi Midland Railway, were charged with the manslaughter of Joseph Sykes and John Thompson, at Brayton, near Selby, on the sth of May last. The defendants were not placed in the dock, but ap reared in the magistrate's gallery. The grand jury gnored the bill against them, an d M r. Milner, M.P., the foreman, state to the learned judge that it was their unanimous opinion the death of Sykes and Thomp son had arisen owing to the bad state of the permanent wa y; The directors were arraigned under the coroner's inquisition for the offence stated, to which they severally pleaded not guilty. Mr. Hall stated that the charge instituted against the directors arose out of an accident which occurred on the Leeds and Selby Railway, on the sth of May last, the result being that two of the servants of the company lost their lives. The cause of the death of the deceased was carefully and patiently inquired into before the coroner's jury, who after mature deliberation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against the directors of the railway. The case had also received the anxious attention of the grand jury, and they had thrown out the bill preferred before them. After carefully going through the whole of the facts, they had come to the conclusion that no culpability or negligence rested against the directors. If it should eventually turn out that other parties were to blame for the accident, the guilty persons would not be suffered to escape with impunity, as further inquiry would be made on the subject. The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, when Mr. Knowles said lie and his two learned friends ap peared on behalf of three directors, but from the course the case had taken it was hardly necessary for him! to make any observations. The grand jury, howe i having made some remarks in reference to acci dent, which they attributed to the .t d n e ee fe e e s t sary ive s permanent way, he considered the make an observation or two. The remark grand jury was probably warranted b y zethheoinif thew b i a d y n e n e c x e . proceeded oftie ac. brought before them, but he contended a e e " tni n .h as ea d o eefv parte character. If the inquiry with it would have been shown that _ cident was owing, not to the b th a e cause state of the line, but to the reckless speed at which the train was g oi ng. regretted E le said he rather the observa tion Mr. Justice Er which had been mad e . He, how ever, believed that to the point alluded to by the evidence, as . had been fully we i g hed by the gra n d jury jr. Knowles, previous to giving their opinion. He gathered from what had been stated that it was considered necessary for the interests of public justice that the matter should be further in vestigated in an authentic manner. Mr. Knowles said the directors, he was sure, would throw no obstacles in the way of such an inquiry. Mr. Justice Erie stated that the directors were not responsible, but the grand jury had come to the conclu sion that some one else was responsible, and if their opinion should turn out to be well founded, the matter, as he understood it, - would be put in train for a prose cution. The three directors then left the court. P.
