IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY. ) COURT OF COMMON LAW (PLEADING) BILL. The house then went committee on this bill. Clauses up to 10 were agreed to. Mr. FITZGERALD moved the omission of clause 10, which provides that the cause of action shall be stated in the writ of summons issued in the first instance, and dispenses with the necessity of a declaration ; but after a protracted discussion, of a technical character, the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. Clause 11, which provides that a plaintiff shall be compelled to deliver a bill of the particulars of his claim, with the writ, was objected to by Mr. GROGAN, on the ground that it would lead to unnecessary expense. He wished, therefore, to move the omission of the clause, and to insert in its place the following : " And in all cases where the plaintiff's demand shall be a liquidated or money demand, the balance claimed by the plaintiff, after deducting all credits to which the de fendant may be entitled, shall be endorsed on the sum mons and plaint, and on the copies thereof for service ; and the plaintiff shall before the said summons and plaint shall be filed, as hereinafter provided. cause the particu lars of his demand, and of all credits to which the defen dant may be entitled, and of the balance claimed, to be ingrossed on parchment, and to be annexed to the said summons and plaint, and such endorsement annexed shall be considered as particulars of demand, and no further or other particulars need be delivered, unless ordered by the court or a judge." Ulti mately, however, the hon. member consented not to press the amendment, upon the understanding that an alteration in the original clause should be proposed to meet his views on the bringing up of the report. The clause was then agreed to, as were also the suc ceeding clauses up to 37. On clause 38, which provides that a plaintiff or a de fendant should be required to verify upon oath the truth of his plea or declaration, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the clause, because it would press unjustly upon sensitive minds, and tend to defeat the ends of justice. Mr. WHITESIDE defended the clause. Formerly a man was liable to imprisonment who put in a false plea or filed a false declaration • but in the course of time, with the abuses of special Pleading, crept in the practice of putting false pleas upon the record, for the sake of securing time as it was called. Now, the object of this clause was to amend that state of things, and he hoped the committee would experience no difficulty in adopt ing it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND was very much disposed to concur in the view of his hon. and learned friend the Attorney-General for England, but his colleagues in Ireland were anxious to give this change in the law a trial, and he should not, therefore, object to the clause. Mr. FITZGERALD moved an amendment in the clause, for the purpose of substituting a declaration for an oath. _ _ _ _ Mr. WHITESIDE said he had no objection to make that amendment in the clause, but it was hardly necessary. Mr. EIUME highly approved of the proposed altera tions in the law of Ireland, and he hoped these reforms would ultimately be extended to Scotland. He could remember the day when it would have been a perfect curiosity to see a reforming lawyer in the house, but with the progress of time a change had come over the spirit of the scene, and he was glad to see now many honourable and learned members vieing with each other to promote legal reforms. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said if they were to try the experiment which the clause proposed, he cer tainly must insist upon them adhering to the oath. After a few words from Mr. V. SCULLY, the amend ment was withdrawn and the clause was agreed to ; as was also clauses 39 up to 49 inclusive. On clause 50, which provides that there shall be no replication in a case, except with leave of a judge, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the clause, as uncalled for. Mr. WHITESIDE defended the clause. After some further discussion, it was agreed that the clause should be postponed. Clauses up to 62 were agreed to. Mr. FITZGERALD moved the omission of clause 63, which provides that where an action is brought against a justice of the peace for an act done in his official capa city, the defendent should have the protection of having the caused tried in his own country. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for Ireland supported the amendment, as he believed great injustice was done under the law as it now stood. After some further discussion, the committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it . 31 ~ 70 Majority The clause was accordingly struck out . 39 EXPENSES OF ELECTION BILL. This bill passed through committee pro forma, and was ordered to be printed. GLANDERS PREVENTION BILL. This bill was read a, second time and ordered to be reported. _ COMMON LODGING HOUSES BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. SAVINGS' BANKS. The report on the savings' banks resolutions was brought up and agreed to. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at ten minutes to six o'clock. STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, JUNE 7.--From the American ac counts (which are detailed elsewhere) we learn that, although the advices hence to the 6th May, had occa sioned a decline of tc. to gc. per lb. in the New York cotton market, they had not impaired the firmness of prices at New Orleans or Mobile. At Liver pool the tone of the market has suffered from the state of foreign politics ; yet buyers have scarcely been able to seoure an appreciable advantage. At the latter end of last week, our own market was pretty nearly brought to a stand by the untoward aspect of affairs abroad. To-day, however, a diminished ap prehension of war has abated the depression under which we then laboured. The transactions of the day, though still restricted, show some return of demand, In yarns, there is, for the most part, no conces sion from the attainable prices of this day week ; but it is found that those spinners who were then too high are now willing to yield the excess. Any slight giving way beyond this is only partial. In goods, there is a moderate call for domestics, printers, and shirting's adapted to the home trade ; and, as to prices, the same remark applies to cloth as we hare just made in reference to yarn. Besides foreign politics a cause of disturbance to business is found in the unsettled state of the relations between employers and operatives. On this subject, we have received the following informa tion respecting the dispute at Stockport :—ln reply to the demand of spinners and weavers for an advance of wages to the amount of ten per cent., the mill owners said— "We will procure lists of wages from all parts of the district, and whatever they average, we will conform our payments to that average." From 32 towns and districts within a circumference of thirty miles around Manchester, such lists have been obtained ; and from these it results that, in the spinning depart ment, the employers at Stockport are paying three to five per cent. too little upon mules both hand and self acting, and five per cent. too little upon throstles ; while in the weaving department, they are giving one per cent. too much for fine work, in 56 reeds and up wards, with yarns above 24's,—and two per cent. too much for coarse work in reeds below 56's, with yarns from 24's downwards. It is understood that this result will be announced by the employers' association, which is to meet on Wednesday. HUDDERSFIELD, JUNE 7.—The market has again been a quiet one, and for at least a month to come we may expect a stillness in the woollen trade. Merchants only buy for immediate demand, to complete or fit up orders on hand. Manufacturers continue to be well employed throughout the district. If anything, rather more has been done to-day in fancies, manufacturers of which are generally busy, especially in plush vestings, for which there is a good demand. ROCHDALE, JUNE 6.—The flannel market has not been quite so good to-day, but those who have sold have obtained rather better prices. Wool remains firm, with a more limited amount of business transacted. The manufacturers show no desire to buy only for immediate use, and many wish to wait until the new clip comes in. HALIFAX, JUNE 4.—The attendance in our piece hall to-day has been but slender, and scarcely any goods of any description have changed hands. In yarns there is no alteration, either as to demand or price ; and the lull in the wool trade continues, without any change in the quotations. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.-WEDNESDAY. THE ROYAL HUNT CUP. The second day on the Heath possesses little interest for the visitors who come merely to see and b ‘ seen. Tuesday and Thursday are the great days which draw the fashionable world to Ascot. - . The programme of Wednesday was, however, suffi ciently attractive to the sporting circles, for ‘A horn six races were provided, the most important being the Fern bill Stakes and the Royal Hunt Cup. The Cup, which is of silver, was exhibited in the Grand Stand, and was genera* admired for the tasteful simplicity of its de sign and beautiful workmanship. The form is an an tique vase, composed of interwoven branches and leaves of the vine, enclosing a ruby-coloured glass, fitting into the vase. The Cup stands on a square pedestal covered with purple velvet, on which the name of the race and the year are placed in raised letters of silver. Notwithstanding the uncommon fineness of the weather, the general attendance on the heath and in the stands was rather limited. Only a few private car riages showed on the opposite side of the course, and the booths lacked customers. Of business there was about the usual muster, and speculation was carried on briskly. The sport was abundant, and for the most part of a very superior character ; the results, however, will not exercise much influence over events to come. Catherine Hayes, the winner of the Oaks, sustained her reputation by conceding 71b. to each of her rivals and winning by a head. The pace was very moderate for the greater part of the distance. Cheddar carried off the Fernhill Stakes from Begum colt by a neck. For the Royal Hunt Cup, the Friar receiving 261bs from Pelion, won by a length. Pelion was defeated, but certainly not disgraced. Of the sixty handicapped, exactly a moiety went to the post, and a more pleasing sight has seldom been seen. As they pro ceeded along the course their colours showed like a beautiful bed of richly variegated tulips. The last race of the day, the Three-year-old Triennial, was remarkable for an extraordinary contretemps. Just as the signal was given to start, the two favourites, Sit tingbourne and The Reiver, got up a very pretty quarrel between them, and at last Sittingbourne was left at the post. The old adage touching the ill wind was unex pectedly verified by the well-pleased fielders. The races were decided as follows : SWEEPSTAKES of 15 sovs. each, 10 ft., for 3-yrs-old ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 31b ; the winner to be sold for 400 sovs. if demanded, &c.

Puritan, Robbie Noble, Surprise, Corybantes, and Hambletonian lay in front to the half mile post, where Puritan, who held a slight lead, dropped back. Ham bletonian went on with the running, the others lying well together to the stand railings, where Hambletonian died away. The Friar then came out, followed by Pelion and Corybantes, who made a good effort, but the Friar ran in, a clever winner by a length ; the second beating the third the same distance. Kiteflyer, Father Thames, and Surprise were the next three ; the others scattered at wide intervals. The rider of Surprise was one lb. short of weight. FIRST YEAR of the FIFTH ASCOT TRIENNIAL STAKES of 10 sovs. each, with 100 added, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b ; the second to receive 50 sovs. out of the stakes. T.Y.C.

Just as the flag was dropped Sittingbourne and the Reiver flew open-mouthed at each other, and the former was left at the post. The Reiver, after some delay, fol lowed the others in vain pursuit. Nutpecker led to the Stand where he was passed by Filbert, who won by eight lengths. The Reiver pulled up at the Stand. Much dissatisfaction was expressed, but after hearing evidence the stewards decided it was a start. LATEST BETTING ON 'ME COURSE.

HAMPTON RACES JUNE 15. SHOCKING WRECK OF AN ENGLISH VESSEL AND Loss OF LIFE.--Intelligence has just been communi cated at Lloyd's, of the total loss of an English vessel called the Stewarts, with her commander, and most of the crew, in a fearful gale, which visited the vicinity of Cadiz in the early part of last week. The ill-fated vessel was quite new, having only been launched about three months since. She belonged to the Tyne, and, in the course of last month, sailed from that river for Carthagena. .The voyage was safe enough until nearing Cadiz, when a most furious gale was encountered from the W.S.W., which seemed to have completely overwhelmed the un fortunate ship . The most desperate exertions of the crew failed in preve nting her being blown towards the shore, and eventuall y Ascot (4) she was hurled on a formidable reef of rocks near th e fortr ess of Sante, Petre.

Yesterday Mr. Wakley, attended by Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner, resumed and concluded a very lenthened inquiry, at the Pitt's Head, Henry-street, Portland town, Marylebone, into the death of Mary Mead, aged 49, which resulted from the brutal violence of Francis Mead, her husband, a shoemaker. The inquiry excited the deepest interest, and the court and its neighbour hood were crowded with persons anxiously awaiting the verdict of the jury. The accused, who had been out on bail, was placed close to the witnesses, so that he might hear their evidence, and if he pleased, cross-examine them. He is a strong, well-built man, rather repulsive in countenance, and club-footed. He seemed wholly ignorant of his critical position. Hannah Gray deposed that she lived in the same house, 20, Henry-street, with deceased, and in the room above hers. Between eleven and twelve on Saturday night she was startled by cries and a great noise in deceased's room. Upon going to the lobby she heard deceased's little boy exclaim, " Oh, father, father, don't ; you have killed my mother." As the cries and noise continued, witness attempted to enter the room, but could not, as the door of deceased's room was forced against her. After some time she effected an entrance, when she found her lying stretched on the floor, and her husband standing over her. After using the most disgusting language towards deceased, he exclaimed, I'll give you something to holloa at." He then caught her by the hair of the head, and flinging her across some chairs on the bed, said, " Go there, you , and lie there with your child." Witness then left the room through fear, and went to her own. Soon afterwards she heard more screams from deceased's room ; but as they were fellow lodgers, witness did not further interfere in the matter. She did not afterwards see deceased until Monday, when, hearing that she was unwell, she visited her, and found her very ill in bed. Her face was covered with bruises, and her eyes were so swollen that she could scarcely see witness. She died the same night. Deceased did not complain to witness of ill-usage on the night in question, but when ill-used on former occasions she was afraid to cry out, or call for help. The husband was the worse for liquor on Saturday night. The Coroner severely censured the witness for not having called in the police when she saw the deceased so brutally treated. The witness replied that she did not consider it her business to interfere with other people's affairs. Emma Richardson, another fellow-lodger with de ceased, deposed that on Sunday, hearing that deceased was ill, she went to her room, where she found her suf fering severely from ill-usage. As she had no one to attend her, witness sent for a surgeon, and remained with her till her death on Monday night. When witness' asked her how she got her injuries, deceased scarcely answered, and only muttered that she got a fall. Mr. Duckworth Nelson, surgeon, 48, Acacia-road, was called to attend deceased on the evening of Sunday week, when he found her suffering from violence. Two ribs on the left side were fractured. Her face, head, and arms were greatly bruised and swollen. He deemed her case hopeless, as he found that the fractured ribs had penetrated her lungs. He did all that skill and ex perience could suggest to save life, but in vain, as she died the following night. Upon making a post m,ortenz examination he found, as he had anticipated, inflamma tion of the lungs, produced by the fractured ribs pene trating them, and which caused death. Witness could not say what was the nature of the violence used towards deceased, but it was of a most frightful character, as the bruised condition of deceased's body evidenced. Thomas Burke, deceased's brother, who was deeply affected, stated that on Monday his sister sent for him, and that upon entering her room he found very ill, her face blackened from injuries, and eyes so swollen and closed from the same cause that she could not see him ; but upon recognizing his voice, she cried out, "I'm glad you have come, for I'm dying." She said that she had fallen down, but said nothing about her husband's ill-usage. Francis Mead, aged 14, deceased's son, who gave his evidence with great reluctance and considerable fear of his father's displeasure, said that he returned home about half-past ten o'clock on Saturday night week, and found his father abusing deceased for having otherwise spent money which he had given her to buy linen for the baby. Deceased denied that she had done so. Upon which his father struck her in the face, knocked her down, and then kicked her several times in the left side. While his father was ill-treating deceased, he muttered something in Irish, which witness did not understand. After she was beaten his mother could not walk, and had to support herself by holding something. Befere that she appeared in her usual health, and could work. She was of a weakly constitution, and had been a patient of the dispensary some months. Witness and his father went to bed, leaving his mother crawling about the floor. About half-past three the following morning he awoke, and found his father bathing de ceased's temples. After placing her on the bed his father went for a doctor, and fetched Mr. Smale from the dispensary. By the Coroner—While his father was beating de ceased she exclaimed, "Oh ! Francis, don't hit me any more." Witness also said, "Father, don't hit my mo ther any more ; she is killed." Witness did not recol lect his father taking deceased by the hair of the head and throwing her on the bed. He remembered Mrs. Gray looking into the room while his father was beating his mother. When his father dragged deceased to bed the following morning, she exclaimed, "Oh ! Francis ! I cannot walk, you have beaten me so dreadfully." On Sunday morning witness's father told him that his mo ther met with her injuries by falling down stairs the pre vious night. His father, when he beat deceased, was evidently not sober. Witness had seen his father beat his mother on other occasions, but never heard him threaten her. Mary Wynn, an acquaintance of deceased, said that she visited her on Monday, when she saw her husband sitting at deceased's bed-side. 'Witness asked how she met with the injuries. The husband replied that on Saturday night his wife had been drinking, and that on running away from him she fell down stairs and fractured her ribs. He then asked deceased if she wished to say anything in witness's presence. She replied, " What do you wish me to say ? I forgive you, and may the Lord forgive you. I have nothing to say. I die in peace." After a pause she further said, " Francis, I am dying ; take care of my children, and don't beat Frank." She then requested to see her brother, whom she most affectionately embraced, and in about an hour after wards died. Anne. Gill and Joseph Tilley, lodgers in the same house with deceased, heard, on the night in question, the noise in Mead's room, but took no notice of it, as they ima gined that he was beating his son. Several other witnesses corroborated the above. Mr. Nelson recalled : The kicks spoken of by de ceased's son were sufficient to produce the fatal injuries. Mr. G. E. Smale, of the Free Dispensary, gave a si milar opinion respecting the effects of those kicks. The Coroner summed up at considerable length and with great clearness, commenting upon the nature of the evidence given, and pointing out where it was in favour of, and where it told against the accused. Having then drawn the distinction between manslaughter and mur der, and having told the jury that it would be their duty to return a verdict either of accidental death or man slaughter, the learned coroner denounced Mead's treat ment of his wife as disgraceful, unmanly, and brutal in the extreme. The jury retired, and after a few minutes' deliberation returned into court with a verdict of " Manslaughter against Francis Mead." — The Coroner accordingly made out the prisoner's com mittal to Newgate, which he handed to Sergeant Brand, 7 S, whom he also bound over as prosecutor at the next Central Criminal Court. So strong was the feeling against the wretched prisoner that he had to be escorted by a posse of police constables to the cab that conveyed him to Newgate, and which drove off amidst the yells and hootings of upwards of 300 persons. THE WEAVERS OF SPITALFIELDS.— This large dis trict, inhabited by silk weavers, is but little known, except to those whose business is connected with the place ; it has, however, remarkable features, and is well worthy of a visit. Some of the streets are composed of well-built houses from three to four stories high, having, in the upper rooms, glazed win dows extending the whole length of the houses, which gives them a peculiar appearance. The general aspect of the neighbourhood is cleaner, and less squalid than the other regions of the " East," and the inhabitants are also better clad and neater in their appearance. The weavers are mostly of French descent, their fore fathers having been driven to London by religious per secution about 150 years since, and it is curious to note how much they have to the present day preserved the national style and peculiarities. There is an immense number of them, and they are mostly remarkable for intelligence. They suffer much privation, struggling to some extent as they do against machinery elsewhere. In Spital-square, which is close to Bishopsgate-street, the master-weavers live. Leading from this are streets, black and dilapidated, which are becoming more and more crowded in consequence of the removal of houses by the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany, who have purchased part of the neighbour hood. In other districts owners of houses will not per mit the looms to be set up. If this should aid in leading some of the weavers to seek other employment it would be fortunate : their present condition is miserable, nor is there any prospect of improvement. Amongst the prin cipal streets thus occupied, are Grey Eagle-street, Black Eagle-street, Pearl-street, Phoenix-street, and Hope street. The Spitalfields weavers are fond of flowers, and few houses, even of the poorest, are destitute of a bit of " greenery ;" they complain that they have now short time for the healthful recreation of their gardens; still, however, some of them do a little, and many rear pet pigeons and canaries. The Spitalfields weavers are greatly attached to their own neighbourhood, and many old men are known not to have travelled during their long lives farther than King's-croon on the one side, and London-bridge on the other. The weavers, like the Northumbrian miners and other class workers, almost invariably intermarry with each other. Spital fields weavers' sons have constantly intermarried with Spitalfields weavers' daughters, and thus to the present day have preserved the peculiarities to which we have alluded.— The Builder. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills, excellent Remedies for the Cure of Bronchitis and Ulce rated Sore Throats.--Extract of a letter from Mr. James Downing, of Paris-street, Exeter, dated March 30, 1853.—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir, Your oint ment and pills have effected upon me a perfect cure of a dreadfully diseased throat, arising from cold, which ul timately terminated in bronchitis. The medical aid I received was unable to combat with the disease, and I was rapidly sinking under its influence. At this stage I had recourse to your medicines, which in a few hours relieved me, and I am happy to inform you, that in less than a fortnight I was entirely cured by them."— Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish ment, 244, Strand, London. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, 3t.fn 8, The freight ship Poictiers, Mr. J. Downos i Com mander, arrived at Spithead this afternoon fiditi the West India station. She sailed on the 12th ult. froth Barbadoes with Lieutenant-Colonel Brown, 9 officers, 233 men, 12 women, and 26 children of the 34th Regi ment, who will be transshipped to the Simoom steam troopship for conveyance to Sunderland. The Calypso, 20, Captain Forbes, sailed on the 11th of May on a cruise. The Megwra, steam troopship, Commander Johnson, sailed on the 12th of May for St. Lucia ; she arrived at Barbadoes on the 11th from St. Vincent's, and reports the yellow fever raging at that place fear fully, having broken out afresh. Six men of the 30th Regiment died before her sailing. The Buzzard, 6, steam sloop, Commander Dobbie, and Medea, 6, steamsloop, Commander Bailey, were cruising off Havannah for the suppression of the slave trade on the 15th of April. The Devastation, 6, steam-sloop, Commander C. Y. Campbell, had also been cruising off Cuba up to that time, but joined the Admiral at Bermuda on the 24th. The Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Wilson, and the Espiegle, 12, Commander Hancock—the former from the West Indies on her way to England, and the latter from England—arrived at Bermuda on the 7th of May, just as the Cumberland, 72, flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, K.C.8., was sailing for Halifax, which caused the flag-ship to remain until next morning (the Bth), when she was towed out by the Devastation, which accompanied the flag until within a short distance of Halifax, towing her through calms for a considerable part of the passage. The Admiral arrived at Halifax on the 16th ult., and the Devastktion proceeded to Sydney, Cape Breton, for coals, prior to leaving for Newfound land with the bishop of that diocese. The Vestal, 20, Captain C. B. Hamilton, had arrived at Halifax, sickly, from the West Indies, and Captain Hamilton had ob tained permission to invalid home. The Progress, freight-ship, with the left wing of the 34th on board, which sailed 33 hours before the Poictiers, also arrived at Spithead this afternoon. • The Hecla, 6, advanced paddle-sloop, was put in com mission pro tem. this morning, and taken to Spithead. She will convey troops from Cowes to Southampton to morrow. The Simoom 16, steam troop-ship, Captain Smith, after landing the 34th Regiment at their destination, will return to Spithead. The Neptune, 120, Captain E. H. Smith, will be brought into the angle dock to have her bottom exa mined as soon as the Hogue, 56, screw guard-ship, Cap tain Ramsay, comes out. The Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain O'Cal laghan, has received her new boilers, and is ready to haul out of the steam basin to receive her crew and report ready for sea. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 8. His Swedish Majesty's frigate Eugenie, 40, Captain Virgin, arrived this morning. She left Europe in Octo ber, 1851, and touching at Rio Janeiro and La Plata, passed through the Straits of Magellan in February, 1852. She called at Valparaiso, and left Callao in March, and, sailing circuitously through the Pacific, visited the Gallapagos, Panama, the Sandwich Islands, San Francisco, Otaheite, the Friendly Islands, and Syd ney. Her course was then directed into th e Indian Ocean, and from Australia she went to the Carolinas and the Ladrones, Canton, Manilla, Singapore, Batavia, and the Mauritius. She left the Cape of Good Hope on the 20th of April, one day before the last mail packet, the Bosphorus, Captain Benson, and sailed from St. Helena on the 4th of May, four days after her. The Eugenie has thus accomplished a voyage round the world. Her crew consisted of 340 hands, of whom two have died of fever, and one by a fall from the rigging, and two have deserted, during her absence. Their condition and the state of the ship reflect great credit upon the Swedish navy. A number of the men have been suffer ing from partial blindness by night, but this affliction has diminished as they approached a more northerly latitude. The blindness is attributed to the effects of the sun in the burning climates through which the ship has passed. After anchorinc , in the Sound the E ug e n i e fired a Royal salute, which ' was acknowledged by the batteries on the Citadel. She then complimented the flag of Port Admiral Sir John Ommanney, and was an swered by the Impregnable, 104, Captain A. Lowe, in Hamoaze. His Netherlands Majesty's steam-ship of war Arjuno left the Cape, homeward bound, on the 20th of April. The Indiaman Trafalgar, from Calcutta, which sailed from the Cape on the 19th of April, touched at St. Helena, and left that island on the 3d of May for London. The Eug6nie spoke on the 3d of April, lat. 34 . 30 S., long. 25.45 E., the Danish brig Christian, Captain Schow ; 28th May, lat. 87 . 30 N., long. 34.45 W., Eng lish barque Kezia, first distinguishing pennant, 6,582 ; and the Swedish brig Balder, from Samarang, for Fal mouth ; June 6, lat. 48.30 N., long. 9.0 W., English frigate-rigged ship A.Z., second distinguishing pennant, 6,078. Yesterday her Majesty's screw steam-ship St. Jean D'Acre received the lower rigging over her mast-head, and the Sybille received her masts. The James Watt screw steam-ship was placed in dock on Tuesday, to be coppered. _ _ _ Off Plymouth, on - Saturday, the barque Henrietta Sophia, Captain Laird, of and from London, for Ade-. laide—all well ; on Sunday, the King William, Adams, from Leith, for Oporto ' • same day, near Start Point, the ship Emilie, Capt. H. Gundersen, from Norway, with passengers ; and the Prussian brig Titania, from New castle, for Rio Janeiro. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain Byam Martin. —The admiral of the fleet, Sir Byam Martin, accom panied by his son, Rear Admiral Martin, have visited the Duke to-day at Spithead. It is rather an interesting fact, and one that may never occur again, that the oldest admiral and the youngest rear admiral should be at the same time father and son. We neglected to state in our notice of yesterday's trial that a very considerable im provement has taken place by the introduction of a "telegraphic communication" from the poop to the en gine -room. The manifest advantage of this needs but little comment. Our attention was drawn to this im portant matter at the time, as we had been accustomed to the usual commands of "stop her," "go ahead," &c.; now, by this admirable introduction, all noise is dispensed with, a table or index of figures appears on the top rail of the poop, where the master should be stationed, and he is so enabled to work his orders to the " regions below. s, The service is indebted to Captain Crispin for this valuable improvement, and we believe its success was determined on board her Majesty's yacht the Vic toria and Albert. The Duke has received her lower deck guns to-day, and is "getting into trim." Her Majesty's yacht, Victoria and Albert, will have a camera obscura fitted in the rotunda, to enable her Ma jesty to take sketches of the various beautiful lakes in Ireland and Scotland. It is well known that her Ma jesty and the Prince excel in this beautiful art. WOOLWICH JUNE 8. APPOINTMENTS. Lieut. Hon. Arthur Hay, mate of 1852, and pro moted by Vice-Admiral Sir G. F.

FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

HIGH ENTERTAINHENT.—The most expensive theatre in London is that of St. Stephen's ; for you pay more for a seat in that house than in any other, and stand a great chance of losing your place after all.—Punch. _ a DUBLIN UNIVERSITY COMMISSION. The following is a summary of the chief recommenda flow) which the Commissioners have submitted to her Majesty, first stating those which can be carried out by itoyai statute, and afterwards those which would require the intervention of Parliament : "1. That tlid Royal statutes of the college should undergo a completd revision, so as to give an amended code, framed on the plan of classified legislation which we have described. " 2. That the University Senate should be abolished, and that any powers intrusted to the office of Vice-Chan celor, in addition to his powers as Visitor, should be defined by Royal statute, and not by decrees of the Pro vost and Senior Fellows. " 3. That no professorship should be held by a Senior Fellow. _ _ " 4. That the Board should be empowered, with the con sent of the Visitors, to vary the subjects prescribed for the Fellowship examination, and to regulate the mode in which the examination should be conducted ; and that any Junior Fellow who holds a professorship may be summoned to examine in the subject of his professorship. " 5. That the statutable ground of preference, in case of equality of answering at the Fellowship examination, should be abolished • that each vacancy should be filled by a distinct vote • and that the candidate Fellows elected at the same time should take rank according to merit. . . "6. That the fees payable to Tutor - Fellows by their pupils should be divided into four parts ; that one-fourth should be payable to each tutor by his own pupils, and that the other three-fourths should be thrown into a com mon fund, to be distributed. on a system to be settled by Board and Visitors, for the endowment of professor ships, lectureships, and examinerships, to which Junior Fellows should be alone eligible ; and that the power of appointing tutors should be vested in the Provost and Senior Fellows. " 7. That the general obligation to enter holy orders now imposed on Fellows should be abolished, but that it should be required that at least four of the Senior Fellows should be in holy orders. "8. That ex-Fellows should be eligible to the Regius Professorship of Divinity. " 9. That a number of septennial divinity fellowships should be established ; one, and only one, being elected at an examination in the month of October in every year, the course for examination being the same as that for the existing fellowships, with the exception of the mathema tical and physical courses, for which a course in divinity should be substituted. " That graduates of the Queen's University, who are recommended by the bishop in whose diocese the Queen's College where they have been educated is situate, should have an opportunity of pursuing theological studies in the divinity school of the London University, and should be entitled to receive such certificate as the Board might think proper to give of their having completed the divinity course. "11. With a view to the more general and efficient cul tivation of the modern languages, we submit to your Ma jesty that the power of appointing to the Queen's profes sorships of French and German an of Spanish and Italian might be entirely delegated to the Provost and Senior Fellows, and that the study of one modern language, at least, should be made compulsory on all candidates for the degree of bachelor of arts. " 12. We are of opinion that the preference now given by the college statutes, in case of equal answering at the scholarship examination, to those who have been educated in Dublin schools, or born in counties where the college has property, should be abolished. " 13. That power should be given to the Board and Visitors to appoint the subjects for the scholarship exa mination, and to vary the duration of scholarships, but that not less than 70 should be always maintained at the expense of the college, and that the Board should have power to select the examiners for scholarship. " 14. That a reasonable number of the exhibitions should be increased in value, and given in the same manner as the college scholarships, but without making the holders of them members of the corporation ; and that they should be open to persons of all religious denominations. " 15. That no distinction should be made between noble men, fellow commoners, and pensioners, with respect to the course of education required for the degree of bachelor of arts. _ _ _ "16. That the formal exercise now required for the different degrees should be discontinued, and that arrange ments should be made for making the higher degrees real tests of merit. ____ " 17. That the fees now charged on the different degrees should be abolished, and that they should be granted without expense, except the degree of master o arts, for which a payment should be made to the funds of the college. " 18. That the imposition of oaths and declarations to obey the college statutes should be discontinued, and that the other college oaths should be repealed, or considerably reduced in number. " 19. That all students who do not reside in college or with their relatives should be required, when resident in Dublin, to live in licensed halls or lodging-houses, and that officers of the college should be appointed to have charge over their discipline and conduct. " 20. That the provisions of the college statutes direct ing the imposition of fines for neglect of duties should be repealed. 21. That the provisions of the Royal statutes limiting the use of the library to graduates should be repealed; and that full power of granting admission to the library should be conferred on the Provost and Senior Fellows. " 22. That the Auditor of the college should be ap pointed by the Visitors, and that an audited balance sheet and statement of the income and expenditure of the college should be published annually. " 23. That the duties now performed by the Bursar should be divided into two parts, and that an agent should be appointed to manage the college estates, under the di rection of the Board, the Bursar, still acting as cashier of the college, and both officers being paid by salary. " 24. That, unless new duties be attached to the offices of Senior and Junior Proctor, these offices should be aboli shed, and that the other officers now paid either wholly or in part by fees should be paid by salaries in proportion to the services performed by them. " 25. That the existing arrangements with respect to non-tutor fellowships should be altered, and that on the creation of septennial fellowships provision should be made for a gradual reduction in the number of the junior fellow ships created by the Royal statute of 1840. The remaining recommendations relate to the repeal of acts of Parliament, the remission of taxation, and the granting of public money. But they have appeared to us to be so intimately connected with the subjects of our inquiries that we have not thought it out of place to in clude them in our recommendations. " 26. That the power of admission to the Bar in Ireland should be entirely intrusted to the benchers of the King's Inns, and that the statute by which law students are re quired to attend at the Inns of Court in England should be repealed. " 27. That the stamp duty on articles of apprenticeship to an attorney or solicitor should be remitted or reduced in favour of those who have incurred the expense of a University education. "28. That the provisions of the School of Physic Act, by which Roman Catholics are excluded from the profes sorships of anatomy, chemistry, and botany, should be repealed. ' 29. That the provisions of the School of Physic Act, with respect to clinical education, the election of the Ki ng ' s professors, and the distribution of the funds of Sir Patrick Dun's estate, should be reconsidered. " 30. That the stamp duty now levied on matriculations, on degrees, and on certificates of degrees, should be re mitted. " 31. That the subjects of foreign States should be allowed to obtain degrees without taking any oaths or making any declarations. "32. That the Copyright Act should be so modified as to give the library of Trinity College the same facilities as the British Museum for obtaining the books to which the college is entitled under its provisions. " 33. That if the admission of the public to the college library were, as we suggest, placed on a more liberal basis, the expense of any consequent increase in the number of attendants required might properly be defrayed by a pub lic grant, and that half the expense of a convenient and useful catalogue of the books and manuscripts, if completed without delay, might also be defrayed by a public grant, the other half of the expense being defrayed from the funds of the college. "34. That the drawback now allowed on the paper used in publishing certain works at the University press might be extended to all educational works published by the University." CRICKET. THE UNITED ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v, FOURTEEN OF YORKSHIRE. This grand match was resumed and brought to a con clusion at Hyde-park, Sheffield, on Tuesday. The United, it will be observed, won the match in one innings by 36 runs. Dean made the long score of 62. The final state of the game was as follows : YORKSHIRE. First Innings. Second Innings. A.

As we have not yet heard full particulars, we merely give the fact as it came to us, but we expect shortly to be in possession of all the circumstances, when we will have something to say on the subject.—Down Recorder. _ . ORCHARD PRosPEcTs.—The orchards every where around us, says the Taunton, Courier, are uncommon ly profuse of blossoms, and so well set, that the retention by the apple and pear-trees of nine-tenths of the floral gaieties, to the period of fruitage, seems probable. Frosts may, however, interpose th e i r d es t ruc ti v e influ ence, as frequently has happened at a still more ad vanced period of the year. A large cider supply may, nevertheless, be confidently expected. PRICES OF SHARES. IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.
