However suspicious may be the official intimac' which, until very recently, subsisted between M. GuizoT and M. TESTE, it would he ungenerou , to impute to the entire Administration of th( former a corruption which has been divulged in the character of his unfortunate colleague. No on( stigmatises CAaIILI.E DESIIIOCLINS with a love of cruelty because in a moment of enthusiasm IA had Once publicly embraced ROBESPIERRE, or accuses Cardinal Iv .. OLSEY of gamists because hea tenderness for bi was li. wont to carouse witl .T our Eighth H ENR , overt criminalit y to GUIZOT has enougi ans wer for m for to sati s fy e y eti: his most pertinaci ous lVe are by • means disposed, th ere f ore, to quarrels with him upon a merely supposititi ous turpitude. The advant age , which must inevitably r esu l t from the convi c ti or , and punishment of M. TESTE are ratherNof at a bstract than of an inferential character. his punishment nor his conviction would be adivthe' tageous in casting an additional odium upon a Ca binet of which he was recently a member. N o the detection of venality in the late Minister of Public Works can only be beneficial in its gene ralized hearing upon public morality. Little palliation is there to the guilt of M. TESTE that in sinning against the laws of rectitude he feli with the illustrious. Lord BACON had, branded his • . great and immortal name with the culpabiliej• of peculation. That was no excuse to M. TESTE.- 1) AroN, th e b o ld est re b e l th e world ever'Saw,'had yo iat ec , tted th e d ouceurs of the m i n i ons o f tyranny r again, was anythin g but a vindication of M. TESTE,m ~t, ~, AD, the greatest tribune of the French people, the most eloquent of modern or had t ancient demagogues,arnished his glory by accepting the assig na t s of Louis measure diminished th e atrocity ' X. f VI. That in no the lat e proceed -ings of M. TESTE. Beyond, however, o the shame 'or his detected corruptibilit y , M . TESTE has in an t a'traordinary manner aggravated his guilt by at tempting to add to the sham e c f bribery th of self-destruction. The hoary administrator,e f : ina n a b y 5- o wever, will so amply expiat e his conduct l ecttniary - irilirlion.t., by a prolonged dePrivatiou of y , , TIIE personal liberty, and especially by degradation in the face of the whole civilised world, that we are little disposed to dilate in language of contumely and indignation upon a man so miserably and deplorably debased. _ . Others, however, implicated in the transactions for which M. TEstz has been condemned, are associated with him also in subjection to judicial severities. One amongst these individuals is conceived by the majority of our Parisian contemporaries to have been awarded an undue proportion of punishment. For the remembrance of his long and honourable services to France they consider that his sentence might have been moderated without any abatement whatsoever of the supreme justice of the Tribunal. As a soldier of Waterloo, as an officer who has fought and bled in the ranks of the French army, as a citizen who has hitherto enjoyed an unsullied reputation, and especially as one who has been, more strictly speak ing, imprudent than corrupt, he is regarded as in a great degree entitled to consideration and lenity. The S ide feelingly remarks upon the civil degradation of General CIIBIERES, " We may be allowed to ex press some commiseration for a brave soldier whose blood has flowed through nine or ten wounds on the field of Waterloo, and who, in the decline of his life, allowed himself to be be trayed into the sad paths of speculation and intrigue, without bringing there the spirit of audacity, rapine, and trick, to which so many others in those days owe their impunity." Such are the generous remonstrances which are appearing in the press of the French ca pital against the rigorous course adopted in the punishment of General GU/IMRE& Altogether we are not disposed to coincide with the purpose of these remonstrances. Respecting the military gallantry of the condemned, esteeming his loyalty to his country as unimpeachable, and respecting the integrity of his domestic life, and the varieties of his civic virtues, we nevertheless, conceive it to be incompatible with the maintenance of morality to decrease the penalty im posed upon a participator in such a shameless act of peculation. We admire the spirit which animates these appeals in behalf of General CUBIERES, but we cannot but consider, nevertheless, that his culpability is so far established as to render his degradation from the army essential for the preservation of its good character. A temporary degradation may suffice, but a degradation of some sort appears to be abso lutely requisite. The punishment is bitter it is true, but public decency has been violated beyond all ex culpation. We have repeatedly pointed out the imperative necessity that existed for the strictest good faith and integrity on the part of the Irish landlords in the repayment of the several sums advanced from the national Exchequer in the hour of their affliction. It is demanded not only by every consideration of honour and honesty, but also of expediency. The national character is not more deeply involved than the na tional interests. A more striking illustration of the old adage that " honesty is the best policy" could scarcely be found. We have no hesitation in saying that the future prosperity of Ireland will in a great de gree be dependent on the course pursued throughout the country in general with respect to the repayment of the sums charged to their account by the stipulated instalments. The future proceedings of England will he regulated thereby. If an anxious desire is mani rested to discharge these obligations to the best of her ability—if every fair exertion is made to perform her part of the contract, the credit of Ireland will be established, and no future difficulties will be raised to the application of all our means to her benefit. Her chief want is capital. She possesses all the elements of national wealth ; her fields are of almost unex ampled natural fertility ; ber rivers and harbours afford every facility for the extension of com merce ; her bays and the adjoining ocean teems with life, that by a slight exertion might be turned into a source of support and main tenance for a large portion of her children. Valuable mines and collieries in almost every part of the country, and millions of acres now lying waste and unproductive, which at a moderate expense might be brought into cultivation and made to produce crops of every description. In addition to all this there is an abundance of labour at hand, available for any and every improvement, at a low rate of wages. tiow comes it, then, that with all these advantages she is still so backward that ;he is obliged to implore Lid from another land to save her children erom perishing in myriads from want of the common necessaries of life ? The answer i; simple. She wants capital. The proprie -ors of the soil are, as a body, involved in lebts and embarrassments, the estat:!s, of which they are the nominal owners, heavily encumbered tnd mortgaged to those who have no interest in their improvement. The necessities of the landlords affect the tenants, the former are unable to improve hemselves, or even to encourage any improvements by the latter. They cannot yield any present benefit for the greatest future advantages. The latter fear, that if they expend their labour (in too many in stances their only capital) on the soil, they will not he permitted to reap the benefit thereof—that the increased value may attract the attention of the needy landlord, or the hearties and avaricious agent, Ind lead to their expulsion from their holdings : , hus there is a continuance of neglect and apathy, iittle or nothing is done, the fields remain not half :ultivated, and the people are still immersed in ioverty, while the sources of wealth remain at their very thresholds, uncared for and unnoticed. This can only be remedied by the influx of capital, iublic and private, from this country—the first alone will not be 3ufficient, but it will lead to thit peace Ind tranquillity, that general submission and obedience o the laws, that restoration of confidence, the want pf which has hitherto prevented English capitalists 'ro:n investing their wealth in Irish speculations. t'ersons of this description will act with the greatest •aution before they decide on laying out that which nay be turned into many beneficial channels. They viii examine with their closest attention every point -hat should be introduced into the calculation. It hey see a wilful disregard of public faith, they will iot be disposed to place much dependence on the ,rivate integrity of the same parties. If public , bligations are evaded, and public liabilities repu- Hated, they cannot repose implicit confidence in indi vidual honesty, or th e punctual performance of private iroinises by th ose w h o unhesitatingly violate their ,üblic undertakings. But, on the other hand, they will icknowledge and readil y act on t h e evidence that may, tnd we mos t f ervent l y hope will, be afforded through.: ,ut the country of the existence of a better and more lonourable feeling. When they perceive that no ob stacles or difficulties are interposed in the way of overn ment, that the required rates are struck, Ind the means given for th e ir collection, they will - 'eel anxious to assist in every manner, and this feeling vill be increased, because they will believe that that Assistance can be rendered without loss to themselves, -hat their advances, whether made through their re .iresentatis es, in the Legislature, from the public muse, or by themselves individually, will be punc tually and fairly liquidated. We trust that these con. ,iderations may not be lost on the people of Ireland, vhose welfare and interests we have deeply at heart, ut that they may pursue a course worthy of a great ind highminded people.

MADRID BOLSA.—The Three per Cents. closed on the Passl2th inst. at 26 cash cash ; the Fi ve per Cents. 16; ; and iat 51 . We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The sentence on MM. TESTE , CUBIERES, and - P Aft .. MENTIER are the subject of comment in all of them, and, judging from the tenor of their observations, it is probable that the sentence on General Ctaimazs will be mitigated. Almost all the journals express their commiseration for him, and consider him to have been the dupe of other and more guilty parties. The Union Afonaraisquf observe 3 that, " Now that SUN, the sentences are past the partizans of Government will go about exclaiming Justice is done '—whereas justice will not have been done until all the roots of corruption shall have been torn up and eradicated." "Imprudent optimists that you are," exclaims the Union Monarchique, " you fall asleep on the crater of a volcano. You resemble an ignorant populace, who having immolated some unfortunate wretches afflicted with the plague, cry out, We have de stroyed the plague!"' The Presse, as might have been foreseen, turns the conviction of M. TESTE to excellent account, and it must be confessed there is some reason in its obser vations. It says—" Had the Court of Peers been satisfied with M. TESTE'S solemn asseveration of innocence (as fully as the Chamber of Deputies had declared itself satisfied by the simple denial given by M. DUCHA.TEL to the matters alleged against him) — had the Court of Peers accepted M. TEsTE's dis claimer of guilt, he would have passed as triumphantly through the ordeal as had his former colleagues on the 25th of June, in the Chamber of Deputies." Now, seeing that the character of M. TESTE before this accusation was brought against him stood as high as ever did the character of M. DUCHATEL ; seeing, also that M. DUCUATEL was a Cabinet colleague with M. TESTE at the time the latter accepted the bribe, it is but reasonable to demand judicial investigation into the charges of M. Eimms DE GIRARDIN against the colleague of M. TESTE. Since the conviction of the latter, the assertion of innocence of M. DUCHATEL amounts merely to a plea of not guilty. On Saturday the Chamber of Deputies was engaged in a debate on the Paris and Lyons Railroad Bill, which was adjourned to Monday. The Committee on the Loan Bill have reported in favour of the Government. The prospect of the harvest throughout the south of Europe is most gratifying. For fifty years the markets of Paris have never been so abundantly supplied with fruit and vegetables as at present, and the vintage of this year will, it is said, be memorable for its superabundance. The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera on Sunday at 77f. 80c. This price was, however, merely nominal, the great majority of the speculators being in the country.

The Calcutta mail has brought Indian news to the 2d of June. Colonel Lawrence proposed to visit Cashmere with Ghoolab Singh, who had expressed his desire to make it his residence. The Sultan Mahmoud Khan, brother of Dost Ma homed, had obtained permission to return to Pe shawur, of which he was formerly the Governor. The Dost bad returned to his capital. His dif ferences with the Ghilzie Chiefs had been arranged. The interruption of the march of the co::tingent to Hyderabad had been commanded by the Supreme Government. The Legislative Council had authorised the erni , gration of Indian labourers to Ceylon. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received Cape papers to the 29th of May. Their contents are not important. The Kafirs con tinued their incursions and robberies of cattle along the frontier, but nothing of a serious nature had occurred since our last advices. It was said that Sandilla, being asked by a public officer whether he consider. d himself and his people at peace with the colony, and whether he would be satisfied with such tracts of country as the Go vernment might assign them. replied, " I told you six months ago that it wag - peace. We are all peaceable. As for land, we had too little before the war, and cannot do with less now." The Graham's Town Journal states that some speci mens of fossil coal had been found a few miles from the mouth of the Kowie River, and that there were indica tions which led to the conviction that there will be found an extensive deposit. Should this prove true, it will be an important discovery for the colony. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 0141. NORWICH ELECTION. A Liberal candidate has already appeared for the suffrages of the constituency of Norwich, in the per son of the eminent railway contractor, Mr. Samuel Morton Peto. We congratulate the independent electors of this city upon the opportunity which is thereby afforded them of returning as their represen tative in the new Parliament a gentleman so peculiarly qualified to maintain the national interests with integrity against the factious opposition of the anti-reform, anti-cleanliness, anti-free-trade, anti everything-sensible party, led by Lord George Bentinck. Are the electors of Norwich be lievers in the perfectibility of the Constitu tion ? Are they advocates of gradual reforms in that Constitution ? If so, they will support the Li beral candidate ; and that Liberal candidate is Mr. Peto. Are the electors of Norwich desirous of sana tory improvement ? Are they lovers of domestic and personal cleanliness ? If so, they will support none other than the antagonist of the Noble Lord the Member fur Lynn, and his followers, for by quashing the Health of Towns Bill the lowers of Lord George Bentinck proved them selves to be DIRTY POLITICIANS. Will Norwich send a DIRTY POLITICIAN - to Parliament as its representative ? Surely not. A man honest in principles, liberal in character, sound in judgment, influential in position—such is the only man who should he selected by the constituency of the principal town of Norfolk. For these reasons we are satisfied that Mr. Peto—as the Liberal candidate—will be returned, and that he will be returned triumphantly. LYCEUM THEATRE. A new drama, entitled Fleur de Lys ; or Love's Tri umph, from the pens of Mr. Angus Reach and Mr. 11. Hamilton, was produced here last evening with complete success. 'I he scene is laid in Paris in 178 D, and the in terest of the play turns on the fortunes of a young and virtuous damsel of humble life, who refusing to accede to the dishonourable proposals of an aristocrat, is by him thrown into the dungeons of the Bastile, from whence she is rescued by her virtuous lover of humble life, who excites the people to aid him, and by their assistance destroys the Bastile. The scene of the taking of the Bastile was capitally managed, and the piece was most effective. George Wild, as a cowardly, boasting patriot, and Oxberry, as a sentimental turnkey, con tributed, by their drolleries , greatly to the success of the piece. BRITISH ORPHAN ASYLUM. — Yesterday a general meeting and fortieth half-yearly election took place at the Loudon Tavern, when 7 children were elected from a list of 28 candidates—the Lord Mayor in the chair. At the conclusion of the election several of the children who had been educated in the asylum attended, with testimonials of good character from their employers, and received pecuniary rewards, varying in amount ac cording to the number of years they had remained in the situations in which they. had bee❑ placed. There are now (irrespective of yesterday's election) 47 boys and'37 girls in. the at Clapham.rise, where they are boarded, clothed, and educated until they are qualified by education to fill useful stations in life. During the past year Wlegacy of. 9001. had been be queathed by the late George Bangley, Esq., of St. John's wood. TH _E T i i o e N h D a Tt f...} C e O a rFIFyEII meetingel: S EwKEEPERS'as last evening,ssocta- ay hell at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, to receive the report of the committee, and to elect two pensioners on the funds of the society ; Mr. J. Conneybeer, the president lof the association, in the chair. The report of the com stated the institution to be in a most satisfactory state, th6..funds being such as to justify the election of two additional pensioners. The amount of the funded capital of the association was 1,916/. 3s. Bd., the annual income from which was 70/. 19a. 10d., and the balance in the hands of the treasurer, and sums since received, make the total fund of the association 1,946/. Bs. 4d. Since the last meeting, the committee had succeeded in adding thirty new subscribers. At the last annual din ner the subscriptions amounted to 75/., and the com mittee felt that, with renewed exertions on the part of the subscribers, the intentions of the association will be carried out to the fullest extent. A ballot for the elec tion of two pensioners recommended by the committee had taken place, and the result was that a Mrs. Mary Cullender and L. W. Williams were declared pensioners of 131. annually. The report having been received and adopted, and the officers for the year ensuing duly elected, thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting then separated. M. Jullien seems determined to lose no time in . securing a ll ava i lable talent for his f ort h com i ng o p era ti c season at Drury-lane. He has already engaged Gio vanni Re eve as f i rst tenor.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 4.000 bales, including 2.500 American at 44d. to ; 400 Pernttm and Maranham. at 7ld. to 84 1. ; 700 Maceio, at Sid. to Bd. ; 500 Egyptian, at Sid. to 9id. ; and 200 Surat, at 4d. to sd. per lb. Prices re main without alteration. For long staple cotton there had been a fair demand ; but for short staple there had not been much inquiry. The Share Market was dull, and prices generally lower, excepting Newcastle and Berwick. We-have one or two arrivals from th 3 Colonies, but although the advices are not of later date, except from the Cape of Good Hope, there are some points of in• terest therein. It appears that on the frontier the Kafirs continued their petty depredations, but up to the end of May had not succeeded in facing anywhere even detached parties of our troops. From Pen Phillip there is news of March. 12. The colony was in a prosperous state, but although heavy rains had fallen late in the season, the weather had again become too dry, and the usual sheep " runs" were in many cases deserted for stations further distant, where water is procurable There had been again a large and influential meeting in opposition to the transportation system, but this loses much of its p. eaent interest from the circumstance of the home Government having resolved materially to restrict trans portation. The great grievane,e• with the Port Philip pians is their annexation to Sydney, towards the ex penses of which they contribute so heavily, and on which account they so earnestly desire a " separation." At Adelaide, South Australia, in February, there had been a conflagration, by which property was destroyed to the amount of 5,0001. or 6,0001. The revenue of the colony •was very flourishing. The English Funds have been rather heavy again, and there has been no speculation. Consols for money have realised 884 to 884, and for time 89 to Exche quer-bills have been 9s. to 12s. premium.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—George Henry Desirabogi Neville Plantagenet Harrison, Esq., 13, Verulam- buildings, Brigadier-General, Peru, Argen tina, Uruguay, and Yutacan, &c., was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged by Richard Leslie Dundas, Esq., with violently assaulting him. The complainant on being sworn, said, lam a major in the army, and reside at No. 27, Manton-street. This morning between the hours of eight and nine, I was asleep in bed, when I was awoke by the defendant break ing into my room. Directly he had entered he came to my bedside and in a furious manner addressed me, and presenting his card demanded to know why I had tra duced the chat acters of certain young ladies. I replied, that I certainly did not do any such things. Noticing something in the defendant's accent, I asked him if he was an Englishman. He said he was, and that if I did net give him a written paper, denying that assertion, he would flog me with his stick. I told him if he attempted to strike me, I would do my best to hand him down stairs. He then demanded to know if I was a gentleman. I said yes, 1 am an officer in the army. I then requested him to sit down and compose himself for a few minutes. He re tused, and immediately made a rush at me, and whilst my head was on the pillow struck me several blows with a thick walking cane. I got up and defended myself the best way I could, but the defendant followed me up so closely that I was obliged to call for assistance. Subse quently some gentlemen who lodged in the same house came to my aid, and the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Ballantine, who appeared for the defendant, said that as the case would probably be carried to the ses sions, he should decline offering any remarks or calling any witnesses. Mr. BINGHAM said the case of assault had been proved against the defendant. It was a case that he could not adjudicate himself. He should therefore send it to the quarter sessions, and hold the defendant to bail in two sureties of 100/. each, and himself in the sum of 2001., for his appearance. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) At the opening of the court this morning several par ties, one after the other, were placed in the dock, charged with assaults; &c., in all which cases no prose cutor appeared. In one case, particularly that of Susanna Atkinson, charged with creating a disturbance, the police-constable K 251 acknowleged that he had not witnessed any part of the transaction, upon which Mr. YARDLEY observed he had noticed that police constables in this district were by far too ready in taking people into custody. It was well known that, particularly in cases of assault, the party aggrieved was frequently given in charge by the aggressors, as there was in all such cases, generally speaking, most conflicting evi dence, and the party charging being on oath, their testi mony Ras generally received. Now, with regard to this young woman no one appeared to press the charge, the presumption therefore was, that she was innocent, and if this were the case the constable had added greatly to her wrongs by incarcerating her for the night. He tru , ted these remarks w, uld have the effect of discounte nancing a practice which actually threatened to degene rate into a perfect nuisance. Policemen probably might not be aware that in such matters they were liable to have proceedings commenced against them for false im prisonment. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Daniel Waddy, a barman, in the service of Mr. Payne, landlord of the Black Boy public- house, in Whitecross-street, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Combe, under the following singular circumstances : It appeared that certain circumstances having induced the prosecutor to suspect the barman of robbery, on last Sunday morning he searched the prisoner's box ; at first the prisoner refused to allow it, but eventually consented, when Mr. Payne discovered, scattered about the bottom of it, upwards of 200 sovereigns. He ques tioned him closely, but the prisoner refused to render him the slightest information. A constable at length being sent for he said that one morning, a long time ago, as ha was passing the Bank of England, he picked up a bag containing 180 sovereigns, opposite the large door going towards Cornhill. The prisoner—l did pick up 1801. right opposite the Bank of England in September, 1845. There was no ground for Mr. Payne's suspicion. The officer who had the prisoner in custody said, the prisoner's statement with respect to his mode of becoming possessed of the money found in his box, must be false, because no less than twenty-five of the sovereigns were of the coinage of 1847. and consequently could not have been picked up in 1845. The prisoner said those coins might have formed a par of the money he received as wages. Mr. Vickers, who kept the Black• boy before Mr. Payne took it, stated that the prisoner had been in his service for seven months, and during that time he seemed to be in want of money, as, whenever he went out for a holiday, he always asked for a small sum in advance. He never saw anything in the prisoner's con duct to induce him to suspect his honesty. The prisoner was remanded. Mr. CONDE said that, under all the circumstances of the case, he should accept the prisoner's own recogni zances in the sum of 200/. for his appearance. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUN TIES RALILWA S.-Yesterday evening, between five and' six o'clock, a dreadful accident, accompanied with loss of life, occurred upon the above railway to a fine young man named William Coldwell, in the service of the company as a carriage cleaner. It appeared that the deceased, who had no friends or relatives in ttiwn, came up from York about nine weeks since, and representing to Mr. Grimshaw, the station-master at th e Sh ore di tc h terminus, that he had lately been employed in a similar office at Huddersfield, re quested a situation upon the railway, and was engaged in the above capacity. He had repeatedly exhibited the most foolhardy daring in dashing across the line while trains were in motion, and been as frequently cautioned on the probable result of his fay, but treated the cautions with indifference, and persisted in the same course. On the pre ceding evening, about half-past - live o'clOCk, be we's again seen crOssilW the line before a train, and was called to by Me. Grim- . Shaw to take care or he would be smashed to pieces. but the deceased made a careless answer and walked about a thousand yards up the rails, and at the very moment that a pilot-engine was running towards the station to pull out some luggage vans and horse boxes, he attempted to run across the line. He was called to by several of the porters not to do so, but he rushed on, and before he could reach the opposite line he was struck by the engine, felled to the ground, and instantly killed upen the spot, his blood and brains being scattered upon the rails, between which also two holes of consideraole depth were dug in the gravel by the force with which his body was driven along. The engine was instantaneously reversed, and upon raising the corpse it presented the most frightful spectacle; the right shoulder was cut and mangled in the most horrible manner, the arm only holding to the trunk by a few of the ligaments, and the flesh was torn away beneath the shoulder, exhibiting a large hole, through which the cavity of the body was perfectly visible; in addition to which, the whole of the upper half of the head, from the mouth to the crown of the skull, was completely crushed off, the latter injury being manifestly inflicted by one of the wheels of the engine, and that to the trunk and shoulder by the guard of the wheel, a projecting piece of iron, about a yard long, and half an inch in thickness. Mr. Richardson, the company's superintendent, and Mr. GrimshaW hastened to the spot, upon learning the occur rence, and immediately procured the attendance of Mr. Wildbore, the surgeon of Shoreditch; but the latter gentleman, upon his arrival, pronounced life to be totally extinct, and said that the man must, as a matter of course, have been dead the instant he was struck by the engine. All the persons present at the time of the calamity concur in describing the occurrence as purely accidental, and that it was wholly owing to the rashness of the deeeast.d's own conduct. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—DOWNPATRICK, JULY 14. —Many persons, in vehicles of all descriptions, from coach and four down to the humble jaunting car, were at the bay long before the time of high water, to witness the first effort to raise the ship with artificial appliances. At about nine o'clock she began to move, and in less than halt an hour she had evidently attained the water line. The crashing of the descending boxes was very loud, and the filling of one on the sea side, a little before ten o'clock, was tremendous. After the tide began to go back, or between eleven and twelve o'clock, the spars of three other boxes refused the strain, and snapped in two and three pieces, letting the boxes into the water. At low water, we learned on board that the ship rose fully two feet, and that, in consequence of the breaking of the first spar alluded to, Captain Claxton and Mr. Bremner did not think it prudent to let her come higher, and about an hour and a half before high water, the plugs were drawn, and the water let in. At this time we were informed there was not more than three feet of water in her. The ship went back about a foot; therefore, she stands another foot higher than she was before. Thera has been no trial to-day, but it was said that .to-morrow there would be. It was said on board that she was not wanted higher than a couple of feet more. The damaged boxes are not going back, the power with the levers, screws, and fifteen boxes still in plaCe, being supposed ample for all purposes. The southerly . breeze sprung up again as we left, and if it freshens, it was said no effort could be made, it being above all things necessary to keep her steady.—Aeun Telegraph. A general feeling of sympathy has been created amongst all ranks of people for the difficulties in which Mr. Caleraft, the lessee of the Theatre Ro) al, Dublin, has been plunged, through his long exertions to support the drama in the Irish metropolis. A committee of the officers of the garrison, under the immediate patronage of Sir Edward Blakeney, the Commander of the Forces, and of his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, has been formed, for the purpose of giving a performance on Saturday, the 24th instant, for the benefit of Mr. Calcraft. The committee consists of Major-General Sir John Burgoyne, K.C.B , Colonel Mansell, Lieutenant- Colonel Greaves, Major White, Captain Ponsonby, Captain Tupper (7th Fusiliers), and Captain Leicester Smith, who are exerting themselves zealously in the praiseworthy work they have undertaken. We under stand that Mr. Charles Kean will go. to Dublin specially to play on the occasion. ETZER.—Ohe Tuesday morning, an Englishman named J 6 hilsortc - 4mployed on the Rouen and Havre Railroad, in attitinpting, at Malaunay, to jump from a waggon at rest to one which was in motion, fell between them, and had nearly the whole of one of his hands so dreadfully crushed, that on being taken to the hospital, amputation was found necessary. On this occasion the in halation of ether was used, and the effects were such ,that not only was the operation performed without the patient suffering the slightest pain, but when he recovered his full senses, his spirits.were so lively as to interfere with the dressing of the stump.— Galign-ani. AQUATICS. LAMBETH REGATTA. The annual oars' contest for a purse of sovereigns, subscribed by the ladies and gentlemen of Lambeth, took place yesterday, and was both numerously and respecta bly attended. The race was in three heats, with twelve watermen, many of whose names must be familiar to our aquatic readers. FIRST HEAT. John Maynard and E. Perry, jun. (White) 1 Joseph Arthur and John Wyld ,(Blue) 2 George Wilson and E. Perry, sen. (Pink) 0 The distance in this and in the second heat was from Westminster-bridge, up round a boat moored off Bur nett's Distillery, down the Surrey shore, round a boat off the King's Arms stairs, and back to Lambeth-stairs. It was a good heat throughout, but the winners took the lead and kept it, although pressed for the greater part of the distance sharply by the second pair. SECOND HEAT. James Maynard and Wm. Richards (Yellow) 1 Richard Wilson and Henry Shelton (Scarlet) 2 Wm. Wilson and Lewis Richards _ . (Green) 0 . . A bustling start was succeeded by the winners doing off with the lead, which they held. The two other pair made a close match. GRAND HEAT. J. Maynard and E. Perry . . _ Jas. Maynard and Wm. Richards 2 Joseph Arthur and J. Wyld In this heat the course was reversed; the men start ing from Vauxhall-bridge down to King's Arms-stairs, up to Burnett's distillery, and back to Lambeth-stairs. It was a capital heat all the way. The men all got away well excepting blue, who having soon got to work well, and with white and yellow were level. White then slightly led, but blue and yellow both putting on a spirt, were, off Wentzell's again oar and oar, in which order they remained for three minutes. White then obtained a good lead, and on the return up was, when off Lam beth Palace, six lengths a head; ellow being second. In this position the heat was finished. BANKSIDE REGATTA. The watermen at Bankside yesterday rowed for a purse of sovereigns, subscribed by the inhabitants of the Clink Liberty, Southwark. The contest was in three heats, with several competitors, the course extending from Blackfriars bridge down, round a boat off the Phoenix Coal Wharf, up to Messrs. Horne's road, down again to the Phoenix, and finished at Thames-streeet stairs. FIRST HEAT. John Harris and E. Lipscombe (Yellow) 1 J. G. Moore and G. Farmer (White) 2 Thomas Aver and W. Ardley ( Green) 0 . . Blue took the lead, followed by green. Yellow then went to work in plucky style, overhauled green, and went into the second place. Yellow then challenged blue, and rowed outside of them against the tide, and won the heat in first rate style. SECOND HEAT. George Johnes and Thomas Harrison (Pink) 1 John Harrison and Thomas Martin (Brown) 2 Robert Simmonds and Henry Weilatts (Red) 0 The winners took the lead and kept it. GRAND HEAT. John Harris and E. Lipscombe J. P. Moore and G. Farmer They were together for a few minutes at a rattling pace, then yellow went in front, and kept it in gallant style. Upon a moderate calculation, we should say there were 5,000 persons present at this match. LIMEHOUSE REGATTA. This event also came off yesterday, and was exceed ingly well contested, in the presence of a vast concourse of spectators. The prize was a new skiff for the first man, to which were added 51. for the second man, acid other amounts for the remainder. The race was in five heats, with six scullers. FIRST HEAT. George Rice (Pink) 1 William Skinner Joseph Champion (Yellow) 0 A beautiful start; Skinner took the lead for some dis tance, when Rice passed him, and came in first by four lengths. SECOND HEAT. William Newman (Green) William I3oughton (Blue) 2 Charles Quanell (Crimson) Boughton took the lead, but was unable to r. tain it, and gave place to Newman.—Won by five lengths. Sherman . THIRD HEAT. (Red) Boughton An indifferent heat. The winner went away from the others. Rice FOURTH HEAT. skinner (Pink) _ _ :(IZt d) 2 A beautiful race. Skinner took the lead, followed by Rice, who shortly overhauled him. GRAND HEAT. William Skinner (Red) 1 Rice (Pink) 2 The heat was well contested. Although the winner took the start, and kept it, his opponent was close on bis quarter all the way. The distance extended from Rat cliffe-cross to the City Canal Buoy—twice round each heat. THE STATUE of PRINCE ALBERT , Yesterday, according to the previous announcement, the marble statue of his Royal Highness Prince Albert was opened to public view at two o'clock precisely. The committee for erecting the statue, and the committee of Lloyd's, proceeded through the underwriters' room to the vestibule, which was crowded with subscribers and the publ.c. On the covering being removed an universal buzz of approbation ensued, which on.subsiding Mr. THOMAS BARING, M.P., addressed the assembly, and observed that they were all aware that the mer chants and undt rwriters, in order to commemorate the laying of the first stone of the Royal Exchange, had sub6cribed to place a statue of his Royal Highness Prince Albert in some conspicuous part of the building, and he felt assured that those who now witnessed the ,s9ceess.whic4llad,attrutiO the labours 9f the committee ''iNifidsi4di:Cci,9gisitulate them on the beautiful statue which had.:just been uncovered to their view. Mr. Baring then observed that his Royal Highness occupied a high station in the country, and the members of Lloyd's, in contemplating the elevated position in which the statue appeared in their ro , ,ms, would teel gratified that they were in the possession of such a work of art, reflecting, as it did, the highest credit on the sculptor. The sub scribers were aware that it was mainly owing to the ex ertions of his friend Mr. Thomas Chapman, the deputy chairman of the committee, that the splendid and appro priate tribute to his Royal Highness had been placed in ;heir rooms, and he felt convinced that, on their behalf, he might congratulate Mr. Chapman on the happy ter , mination of his labours. Three hearty cheers were then given fer the statue, followed by three other cheers f.r Mr. Lough, the sculptor. The meeting then separated, but the vestibule continued crowded during the remainder of the day by persons anxious to see the statue. There were present Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., Chair man; Mr. Thomas Chapman, Deputy Chairman; Baron Go'timid, Sir John Henry Pelly, Bart., Deputy Master of the Trinity House; Sir George Larpent, Sir Peter Laurie, and Mr. Charles Graham, the honorary secretary to the committee for erecting the statue. The statue, as a work of art in the class to which it belongs, appears faultless. The easy poise and dignity of the figure, and the natural expression of the coun ten:ince—perfectly true, yet elevated in: character — exhibit his Royal Highness in a style consistent with his station, and admirably suited to the position in which it is placed. The artist has also succeeded greatly, by his skilful management of the drapery, in giving sim plicity to the robe of state, and rendering that which generally looks so cumbrous, both becoming and graceful. ROYAL VISIT TO VAUXHALL. — Last evening a grand gala was given at the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, which was honoured by the presence of her Royal Mgh ness the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary, the Duke and Duchess of Somerset, Lady Augusta Somer set, the Ihnoverian Minister, the Baron de Nieumann, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, Baron Knesebeck, the Countess de la Tour, Lord W. Lennox. Baron Roths child, &c. The ro)al party were received by Mr. R. War dell and Mr. R. Brown, the lessees, and were conducted to a suite of rooms, the same that were set apart for her Majesty when Princess Victoria, on the occasion of her visit with the Duchess of Kent, Prince George, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, to the gardens. A salute of 21 guns was fired. and there was a superb em. blematical coup de feu exhibited. The stage was fitted up with a royal box, most elegantly decorated for the occasion. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary repeatedly expressed their gratification at the per formances. DEATH OF HUGH W. BOULTON, ESQ., OF THE IST LIFE GUARDS.—It is our painful duty to announce the death of the above youthful gentleman, which took place at an early hour on Sunday morning. The de ceased caught a violent cold early in the month of June, while quartered at Windsor with his regiment, which, terminating in infl anmation of the lungs, caused his death. The deceased was second son of the late Matthew Boulton, Esq., of Tew Park, Oxfordshire, and Soho, Staffordshire. He was universally esteemed and beloved by his brother officers. His loss will be deeply fel. CAUTION TO STEAM-BOAT PASSENGERS. —On Sunday morning a young woman named Donovan, re siding in Church-street, Soho, having received the pro ceeds of a half-year's pension due to her father, took her passage by a Gravesend steam-boat for the purpose of conveying the money to her parent. It was not until she arrived at her destination that she discovered she had been robbed of her purse containing all she pos sessed, viz., 71. 10s. in gold and silver, when she recol lected that during the passage two genteelly-dressed young men bad engaged her in conversation, to whom she unsuspectingly told the object of her journey, and who, no doubt, effected the heartless depredation in a similarly dexterous manner to which the omnibus rob beries are perpetrated, and against which the public have been so frequently cautioned. The hardship of the case is greatly aggravated by . the circumstance of the poor man Donovan being in an infirm state of health, depending for subsistence on his small pension and the precarious assistance his daughter can afford him from her earnings as a shirtmaker. A few benevolent indi viduals on board, commiserating the distress of the father and daughter, made a small collection to relieve their immediate necessities.
