It has already been frequently remarked by ourselves that one advantage, at any rate, and that, perhaps, when least expected, has accrued from the heterogeneous structure of the Coalition Government. Allusion is here made to the trans fer of Lord PALMERSTON'S distinguished genius in statesmanship from the Foreign to the Home De partment. 'Whatever regrets we may have felt on witnessing the instalment of that eminent administrator in another position than that in which he acquired his splendid and world-wide repitation, it must be confessed that the change has illustrated, if possible, more remarkably than any other incident in his career, the scope of his ca pacity as one among the principal of the Ministerial advisers of his SOVEREIGN. While we may still regret the circumstance of his being no longer at the head of British diplomacy—more especially at a juncture when his energetic and patriotic policy might have secured at Constantinople the opportunity of its full and complete development —vie must nevertheless exult in the fact of the Noble Lord the Member for Tiverton being at this T,eriod supreme in the conduct of the affairs of the Home-office, as Secretary of State for that Depart ment. It were easy to demonstrate the benefits derived from his nomination to the guidance of that paxticular branch of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment, although it would be matter of some diffi culty, in so doing, to enumerate, on the instant, the whole of his numerous endeavours to for ward the great work of social, and, more Peculiarly, of sanitary improvement. Enough for us at the prOsent moment to remind the public that have at length got rid of that odious sys tem of intramural interment which had hitherto been tb e disgrace of our metropolis, polluting its atmoalthere degradi ng th e t one o f i ts morality, and tending frightfully to enhance the amount of the periodical mortality among its inha bitants. All this, moreover, thanks t o thi.) personal activity, the official energy, and tl-,e individual resolution of Lord PALMERSTON. 743ut for that activity, that energy, • and that reso lution, we might still have witnessed the viola tion with impunity of the Metropolitan Burial Act in spite of the notorious evils resulting from that most hideous scheme of sepul ture. But for the beneficent interposi tion of the present Home Secretaryrao we must u nquestionably for a long w hil e yet e comedawdling hv e o bserved the continuance of the sat p o licy—based upon that laissez faire system w hi c h is the virtual suicide of Boards and Commission ers—a policy which had apparently become per manently enshrined as a thing to cherish and ad ore in the recesses of Gwydyr House, under the.ZE g i s of the Board of Health, and under the auspices of the Sanitary Commissioners. Sextons would still have been chopping up old coffins for fire wood, and burning the half-decomposed remains of our dear brothers and sisters departed—the pestilential soil of our city graveyards would still have been stirred up industriously by the s pade d the mattock poisonous vapours would consequently still have been reeking up in more and more copious volumes even than heretofore —but for the bold and decisive course adventured upon in this matter by Viscount PALMERSTON. Conscious that nothing could he effected under existing circumstances with a view to the practical prevention of intramural inter ments by merely bungling Acts of Parliament, the Noble Lord, the Home Secretary, as will long, we doubt not, be remembered, resorted to the aid of a series of Orders in Council for the closing up of those abomi na bl e p it s of corruption, w hi ch - Intl contrived until then to manufacture pestilence within the boundaries of the capital, notwithstand- LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN ing all the endeavours t owar d s th e i r suppress i on RAILWAY. • adventured upon at intervals in either House of SPECIAL NOTICE. The DIRECTOIig, endeavouring to lessen the inconvenience caused to Passengers in consequence of the Strike of Cabmen, have already employtd extra Omnibuses and Flys, and undertake the delivery of al Luggage arriving at the Waterloo Station, at very moderate charges, and propose engaging additional 'vehicles. Applications to be made to Mr. Godson, or Mr. Young, at the Waterloo Railway Station By crder of the Directors, L. CROMBIE, Secretary, York road Offices, 28th July, 1853. NOTICE to POSTMASTERS and OTHERS.— The Commissioners of Inland Revenue having sanctioned the employment at the Railway Stations of any description of vehicles, as post-chaises or stage-Coaches, without the necessity for the same being previously licensed as such, THE LONDON and SOUT/I-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY will admit into the Waterl,o Station the vehicles of any party willing to ply from that station for hire. Immediate empl yment may be had for 20 to 30 flys or broug hams. the Imperial Legislature. In consequence of those same Orders in Council the clerical ghouls have been scared from their horrible Sabbat or Satur na'ia—and more actual benefit, in the way of sani tary improvement, has thereby been secured with- in half-a-dozen weeks than had been attempted during the preceding ten years by a succession of would-be Reformers. Sepulture has hence be come once more amongst us a solemn and vener able ceremonial, instead of being a ghastly and detestable abomination. Instead of being a heathenish mockery, it is again in a fair way of becoming an exquisite and consolitary attestation of our credence in the divine and elevating dog mas of Christianity. Having succeeded thus to the general admira tion in putting an end to the hideous system of intramural interment —Lord PALMERSTON, it would appear, has resolved upon otherwise cele brating the fact of his nomination as Home Secre tary in the Coalition Government. Assurances that such indeed is the resolve of the Noble Viscount was volunteered by him as recently as last Saturday evening, when, at the banquet given by the Lord Mayor of London to her MAJESTY'S Ministers, he intimated his intention to secure yet further sanitary improvements to the capital, on the one simple condition, or proviso, that he were aided in his endeavours by the co operation of the Metropolitan representatives. Hi s aspiration amounted, according to his own acknowledgment, humorously enough expressed, to the purifying of the " silent high way," so that the current of the Thames, no longer tarnished by the influx of the sewers, might become again, as once of old, translucent. A rather bold enterprise, but one, as we ourselves have repeatedly intimated, readily capable of ac complishjnent. Referring to the benefits really and manifestly within reach of the inhabi tants of London, if some energetic hand were only stretched forth to grasp them, Lord PALMERSTON, we rejoice to observe, spoke of other improvements of a sanitary description besides the purification of the river Thames. He reminded his auditors of ' the impres sion produced some years ago upon the mind of the great sculptor CANOVA by the aspect of the British metropolis—an impression of mingled regret and admiration. " CANOVA admired," said the Home Secretary, "the continuous foot ways, the comfort of the separate houses, the order and the general security of person and pro perty"—but--"having enumerated all these advan tages, he concluded his panegyric in that strain of hyperbole which is peculiar to southern climes, by saying that, if London had only a little more light and pure water, it would be a paradise." For tunately, since then a series of legislative remissions have rendered the former requisite rdore attainable than it could possibly have been with the pre ceding generation. The reduction of the duty on glass by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government, and the abolition of the Window Tax by Lord Jour," RUSSELL'S Government—must together be allowed to facilitate the endeavours of the Londoner to wards obtaining " a little more light," so as to approximate nearer to the delights of a brick and mortar paradise ! Then, as to the obtain ing of purer water, that may' be said to depend in a great measure upon the intro duction of a more rational system of drain age. Under the guidance of Lord PALMER STON'S Home Administration we may at length venture to anticipate the realisation of those dreams of Signor CANOVA—that unconscious pre cursor of the Sanitary Reformers. Especially may we count upon this happy consequence of the coalition, supposing that the Noble Viscount's wishes be acceded to, and that his humane endea yours obtain assistance from the cordial co-opera tion of the Metropolitan Representatives. It is deserving of particular notice that, while manfully beseeching their co-operation, Lord PALMERSTON availed himself of the opportunity to particularise one of those independent Members as a representative entitled in a remarkable man ner to his earnest and magnanimous commenda tion. " Amongst those Members," said the Noble Viscount, " there is one whom I should wish to distinguish, one not more conspicuous for his Par liamentary duty, than he is for his personal eleva tion of character, and, above all, for that chivalrous devotion to the unfortunate and the exile, which is so well known as to.cause all who hear me to feel at once that I am speaking of Lord DUDLEY STUART." A brilliant and enviable, but, let us add, a judicious and deserved eulogiu n. No marvel that, on listening to that unexpected panegyric, the subject of it, rising, with some emotion, declared that he considered it " a circumstance of which any man might be proud "—coming, as it did, " from : one who not only filled high office in • the Councils of his SOVEREIGN, but had also : filled the whole world with his fame." The : incident here commemorated we cannot but regard as fraught with a singularly useful significance, and as admirably apposite to the occasion—con- • stituting, as it does, an appreciable, though doubt less, a wholly unintentional incentive to the hu mane and patriotic exertions of the rest of I the metropolitan (perhaps we should rather say of "the whole mass of independent) representa tives. It will be well for them henceforth to re member that Cabinet Ministers are not necessarily chary of declaring their sentiments of admiration. For, while the conscientious reformer needs no other inducement than a sense of justice and phi lanthropy —no one can remain indifferent to en- COMiUM3 pronounced by the lips, and emanating from the heart, and dictated by the judgment of A PA LMERSTON. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY'S Colonial Church Regulation Bill has made its way, with comparatively little comment, in the House of Lords. It involves, however, we are inclined to think, most important reflex consequences on the Church at home, besides its probable influence on that in the colonies. It is obviously promoted by the same party as Mr. GLADSTONE represented in his attempt last year, and the utmost has no doubt been ,done by the Duke of NEWCASTLE to remedy the just objections taken by Mr. WAL POLE to that measure. It is observed that the . various Christian denominations in our colo ) nies, which, in virtue of their dissent, or I rather of their depending on voluntary support only, enjoy the advantages of self-government, make way more rapidly than the colonial branches • of the Church of England. Partly the pleasure which Englishmen naturally feel in self-govern ment, partly the practical knowledge possessed by the assemblies of the different sects, enable them to act with more energy than a church governed solely by its higher powers, and the unadaptable regulations of the laws of the mother country. Hence these attempts to gain for the Colonial Church of England a freedom of action undeniably most important to its success. The present bill appears to have as little to be objected to as is possible, considering the nature of the case. As the Archbishop stated, the mem bers of the Church in the colonies all agreed that some legislation on their behalf is necessary ; 2d, that the lay members ought to have a considerable share in the administration of the affairs of the Church ; 3dly; that nothing ought to be done t ending to separate the Church in the colonies from that of the mother country. Hence, lie pro vides in the bill for lay and clerical representa tion to enable the colonists to make such regula tions as do not interfere with the Canons and Articles of the Church ; reserving an ultimate ap peal in cases o f doubt to the Metropolitan of England. Very much depends upon the precise wording of the clauses of a bill like this, and we hope they will be narrowly scrutinised by inde pendent members in the Home of Commons. The value of the liberty desired is unquestionable; the only difficulty is to make it work harmoniously with. the legally fixed constitution, formularies, an d doctrines of the Church of England. Voluntary ism can work by itself, as free action is essential to iti3 popularity and support ; but it remains to bo se en whether the introduction of synodical ac ti(m into an Established Church will not issue in re suALs like those which we behold in Scotland. Ass< Imblies of sensible men will not, as the Duke of ARGYLL observed, like to meet merely to exchange the compliments of the season. They will feel that they understand the requirements of the case before them better than the civil and ecclesiastical legislators of this country. Especially will they think that the old canons, &c., of an old country may but ill befit a new colony. They will spurn ere long a bond age which bears but the name of liberty, and de sire to convert the name into the substance. In the course of the debate on the 22d it appeared, indeed, that the powers really given were hardly worthy of the name ; yet such as they were, Lord DERBY was afraid they should be employed to de prive offending ministers of their benefices, and Lord MONTEAGLE of their being held by the Colonial Synods to include the right of discussing matters of faith and doctrine, or of making " re gulations" which should have the force and authority of canons. On the one hand it was said, how could such powers consist with the unimpaired Unity of the Church and the Supremacy of the Crown ?—on the other, how could they be withheld without reduc ing the New Synods to cyphers. And this is, and will be, the ever-recurring difficulty. The advan tages of a State Establishment, and those of a Voluntary Society, do not easily admit of combina tion. According to the habits of a community, choice must be made between the two, and the evils of either partially borne, in consideration of the benefits. Local administration of the laws enacted by the supreme authority is the utmost that can be allowed consistently with the existence of that authority. This, however, seems quite possible and easy without legislation. The Churchmen of any district can meet freely with their ministers, can consult how best to advance the interests of their Church, can agree upon Church extension schemes, or arrange for mutual assistance ; but if they go beyond this they must sooner or later come into collision with the unyielding law, which gives the Mother Church existence. It appears that by far the greater part of colonial clergymen are licenced curates, whose licence can be with drawn autocratically by the bishop, and it is pro posed that the synods, with the concurrence of the bishop, should be enabled to make regulations, under which the bishop should exercise this power ; and by the stress laid upon it, this auto cratic power of bishops would appear to be a great grievance. It is a grievance, and a monster one, but we are sorry to say it still disgraces the mother country. In none of the other pro fessions can a respectable man be deprived of his position, his usefulness to society, and it may be of his bread also, but by due process of law, and adequate proof that he merits expulsion ; but all the curates of the Church of England, literally, " without one if or but," hang upon the mere autocratic will of the bishop of their diocese ! He, without reason assigned, against all just reason it may be, ac cording as the curate thinks with RIPON or with FYRTER on Baptismal Regeneration, or is guilty of auy opinion not pleasing to the right reverend father, he can withdraw his license, and compel him, if he preach at all, to do so as a dissenter, and to do even that with the fate of Mr. SHORE impending over his head. Now, the obvious remedy for such an un-English power on the one side, and un-English slavery on the other, is to pass a law rendering all clergymen once licensed free of every diocese in the English Church, and secure against being silenced unless after a fair trial, and for definite moral or ecclesiastical offences. Curates ought no longer, for the honour of the Church, and for their own honour as Englishmen, to remain such mere slaves of the bishops. They are clergymen in orders equally with their abso lute superiors, and equally with the luckier bene ficed clergymen ; and the law ought to secure to them, until convicted of unprofessional conduct, the free exercise of their profession. In the colonies there are hardly any beneficed clergymen at all. Stipends to licensed curates are the general rule. Some of these stipends, are, as the sharp fire at them this year in the miscel laneous estimates reminds us, paid. by ourselves ; part are paid as in Australia by the Colonial Governments. We all know how those of Canada •are paid. Now, it appears to us that where the Church of England depends upon a Colonial Go vernment for support, it should be amenable directly to the Legislature of the Colonies. In Canada and New South Wales for instance, the powers proposed to be given by this bill ought to be sought from the Colonial Govern ments, and those governments should have a full authority to grant such ecclesiastical privileges as they please. This appears to be merely a reason able corollary to the principle which conceded the Clergy Reserves. Let the axiom be frankly car ried out that the colonies can best judge, not only to what extent it is expedient for them to endow religious worship, but also what liberties and what restrictions they will associate with such endow ments. In our view, therefore, the proper " Co lcnial Church Regulation Bill" would be one which entrusts to the Colonial Legislatures the power to impose such conditions, and permit such ecclesiastical freedom, as they saw fit, in connec tion with the grants of money demanded of them. TERRIFIC THUNDERSTORM.—This morning, shortly before two o'clock, the metropolis was visited with a storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, of such intensity that few caa recollect a parallel. The atmosphere of the previous day, which was marked by the thermometer at 73, toward night became very close and heavy, and at the hour above mentioned flashes of lightning of the utmost intensity, followed by peals of thunder that more resembled those met with in the tropics and West Indies than those with which the resident in the metro polis are familiar, became of frequent occurrence. Shortly before three o'clock the storm seemed to have reached its height ; and at this hour the thunder, which seemed to shake the houses to their very foundation, and fol lowing the tremendous flashes of lightning in remarkably quick succession, resembled the heavy fire of a regiment of infantry, succeeded by the loud booming of artillery. Nothing could exceed the magnificent and awful grandeur of the scene during the vivid and brilliant flashes of lightning. At six o'clock the storm may be said to have abated, though the rain which had fallen the whole of the morning in torrents continued. We have not up to the present time heard of any accidents, though many must have occurred, especially to those owning property in the suburbs of London. SUDDEN DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.—An awful instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred to Mr. Jere miah Davis, Poland-street, Oxford-street. It appears the unfortunate man got into an omnibus to go into the city, and when near Gray's•inn-lane, fell back and ex pired. Medical assistance was instantly procured, but life was quite extinct. A shell was procured, and the body was removed to St. Andrew's Workhouse, for an inquest to be held. The deceased is supposed to have died from a diseased heart. The unfortunate gentleman was an old inhabitant and much respected. THE REPEALED DUTIES.—The Commissioners of Cus toms have caused an amended list of articles of foreign merchandise, which has been prepared by the Inspector General of Im ports and Exports, with reference to the recent resolutions of the House of Commons not now subject to duty, on importation into this country, show ing the denomination under which each article should be described iltl the official documents to be printed and furnished to the collectors and comptrollers and other principal offic ears of Customs at the several ports through out the kingd mu, for future government, in lieu of those formerly in use. In transmitting this list of goods on which the du ties have been repealed, they have been directed to oboerve that all description of glass is to be entered by weight, and that bottles imported containing goods are to be deemed as packages, and exempted from entry for the ditties. TRANSPORTATION.—The Government bill, which has passed the House ) of Lords, was yesterday printed, by order of the House of Commons. Since it was noticed in The Sun a nem • clause has been added by the Lord Chancellor in cot amittee, the object of which is that her Majesty may grant licenses to be at large to convicts under sentence of transportation ; the holder of the li cense is not to be :imprisoned by reason of his sentence, and, if the lice:n:3e is revoked, the convict may be appre hended and can emitted to prison. By the bill as it now stands, penal p unishment is to be awarded in the cases of persons Hat de to transportation for 14 years. The new law is to t ake effect from the Ist of September next. FRIENDLY Si )CIETIES.—A bill, which has been printed, is now before the House of Commons, to amend the laws relating t o Friendly Societies. By its provisions, Friendly Soc iF sties may invest their funds otherwise than as required b 3 , the 13th and 14th Vie., c. 115, that is to say, upon t he security of any rates, tolls, duties, or assessments, : tut horised to be levied and mortgaged by any act of Paaliament, or other securities of any com pany incorp orated by act of Parliament or charter, or on policies of :life assurance effected on lives of adequate value. Societies availing themselves of this act are not to invest any further portion of their funds with the commissioner s for the reduction of the national debt. Societies also not already having an account with the commissione) s after the passing of this act, are not to invest their f unds withthem ; but, when their assurances do not excee4 12001., they may deposit all their funds in any savings 1 )ink. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, JULY 27. Prince Albert, the Priir tnf IvalQ,s, and Prince Alfred, walked out yesterday afternoln. The Princess Royal and Princess Alice drove round the grounds. The Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Augusta Bruce, left town yesterday morning, for her residence, Frogmore. The commissioners for auditing the public accounts, with their secretary, Mr. Bromley, attended the Chan cellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official resi dence, in Downing-street, at the half-yearly declaration of accounts. A deputation, headed by Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen, yesterday, at his official residence, in Downing-street. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone bad a dinner party on Tuesday, at the official residence, in Downing-street. The company consisted of the Earl of Aberdeen, the Bishop of Oxford, Lord de Tabley, Lady Marian Alford, Lord Haddo, the Right Hon. Sidney and the Hon. Mrs. Herbert, Mr. R. Phillimore, M.P., and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbraham. In the evening Mrs. Gladstone had an assembly. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 185 R. MAILS FOR AUSTRALIA. The following notice has been issued from the Genera Post-office : " The next mails for Australia will be forwarded by the Vimiera, sailing-vessel, the owner of which has en tered into a contract for that purpose with the Post master-General. " This vessel is appointed to be dispatched from Ply mouth on the sth of August next, after the arrival at that place of the north mail, and all letters and news papers for South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Van Diemen's Land, reaching Plymouth previous to her departure, and not addressed to be sent by any other vessel, will be forwarded by the Vimiera. " The packet•rates of postage will be chargeable on letters transmitted by the Vimiera, but no charge will be made upon newspapers. " The mails to be conveyed by this packet will be made up in London on the evening of the 4th of August, and at Plymouth on the morning of the sth of August. " Those postmasters whose instructions direct them to send their letters from Plymouth by cross post will of course forward the correspondence intended for these mails in the same manner." THE BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. (TIM DAY.) The annual general meeting of the friends and sub scribers to this charitable institution, established in 1847, for giving relief and granting pensions to decayed members of the various branches of the building trade and their widows, was held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the report, and upon other business. Mr. A. G. HARRIS, the secretary, read the report, which congratulated the subscribers upon the increasing prosperity of the institution, and the corresponding benefits the directors had been enabled to confer by add ing to the number of their pensioners. The committee having expressed their cordial thanks to their president, S. Morton Pete, Esq., M.P., for presiding at their an nual dinner, which produced so gratifying a result, an nounced that it is their intention to have another elec tion on 18th Aug., when five pensioners will be elected from a list of twelve candidates, making the total num ber then receiving the bounty of the institution fifteen males and nine females. The subscriptions and dona tions received during the past year amount to 1,4041. ss. 6d. ; and there has been added to the funded stock since the last report 8001. Three per Cent. Consols, 7001. stock to the relief fund, and 1001. to the building fund, making toe total amount 3,6501., divided as follows : 2,650/. stock to the relief, and 1001. stock to the building fund. Great energy has been displayed by the Brighton committee, and the hon. secretary, Mr. G. Maynan, has forwarded to the treasurer, Mr. George Bird, the sum of 1141.• 95., with a prospect of adding considerably to the amount. The directors have also much pleasure in announcing that, under the able superintendence of Mr. Joseph Bird, the hon, secretary, the annual ball produced the large sum of 1201. 16s. 6d. After stating that S. Mor ton Peto, Esq., had consented to act as president for the ensuing year, the report concluded by calling upon the fnends of the institution, and the builders generally, to lend their aid in furthering the benevolent aims of the directors, more especially as but five pensioners would be able to be elected, from a list of 12 candidates, at the approaching election. The report having been moved and seconded, was car ried nem. con., and a vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated. COLLIERY ACCIDENTS. A deputation, consisting of Messrs. Swallow and Tetlow, from the coal miners of Lancashire and Cheshire, and Messrs. Jude and Archer, from Northumberland and Durham, had an interview with Lord Palmerston yesterday. The deputation was headed by the follow ing members of Parliament :—Mr. Hutchins, Mr. Locke, Mr. Cayley, Mr. Cobbett, Mr. Ingham, Mr. Mostyn, Sir J. Walmsley, and Mr. Cheetham. There were also present Mr. James Mather and Mr. Golds worthy Gurney. The object of the deputation was—as the committee appointed to investigate into the causes of colliery accidents had been obliged to close its sittings without making any report for this session—to induce his lordship to bring in a short bill this session of Parlia ment to give further protection to the miners' lives, until a more complete measure could be perfected. The deputation having stated the objects, and his lordship having heard the opinions of the various gentle men present, stated his inability (although he had pro mised) to bring in any measure this session ; but having learned that he possessed certain powers under the pre sent bill,.he would ascertain what could be done, and give every aid in his power to facilitate the objects of the deputation ; but so soon as the committee made their report next session, a more complete measure would have his earliest attention. The deputation thanked his lordship for the attention given, and retired. Lord J. Russell was also present, and gave marked attention to the subject. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH AT DOVER.—One of the most impressive cases of sudden death that has ever come under our knowledge took place on Sunday even ing. The unfortunate individual thus cut off without a moment's warning was an elderly man named Cloke, who resided at Charlton-green, Dover. The deceased was returning home from River, whither he had been walking with Mrs. Cloke, when he suddenly fell down a corpse. lie was instantaneously raised by some per sons near ; and, a carriage passing at the time, was placed in it, and taken home, those who picked him up labouring under the impression that he was in a fit ; but on a surgeon (Mr. Kersteman) arriving, he immediately pronounced dissolution to have taken place. The de ceased was walking alone, having left Mrs. Cloke at a friend's house at Crabble, jocosely remarking that she would, doubtless, like a little more chat, and, as he should walk on leisurely, she would overtake him. He appeared in the best of spirits and the most robust health at the time ; and it may easily be imagined that, under the circumstances, the shock to the survivor was of a severe character. Deceased was a miller by trade, and in the employ of W. Kinsford, Esq., for whom he bad worked fur the last thirty-seven years, discharging his duties during that time, as stated by Mr. Kings ford, in the most praiseworthy manner. Indeed, Mr. Kingsford's regret at the death of the deceased was painfully evident at the time, he having proceeded im mediately to the deceased's residence, on being ap prised of the melancholy circumstance. The cause of death was disease of the heart ; Mr. Rutley, surgeon, having certified to that effect. —Dover Chronicle. ELOPEMENT.—We noticed in our last week's paper that an officer of the 35th Regiment had run off with the wife of a baronet residing in the north of Devon, under circumstances of a very disgraceful character. We regret to state that there is no doubt of the truth of the statement; the officer is Captain Berkeley, of the above-named regiment, and his unfortunate companion in guilt Lady Wrey, wife of Sir Bourchier Wrey. It appears that Captain Berkeley is now with his regiment, and still wearing her Majesty's uniform, though it is currently reported that he will be obliged to leave the army ; and the lady, it is said, is in London. The North Devon'Journal of the 14th inst. thus notices this dis graceful circumstance Sir Bourchier Wrey, Bart., has recently been staying at his marine residence in Barnstaple. For some few weeks past Capt. Berkeley, of the 35th, son of Sir George Berkeley, had been visit ing at the house of the hon. baronet, whose hearty hos pitality is only surpassed by high-minded and unsus pecting candour. This town became agitated on Friday with the startling and painful intelligence that this guest of the hon. baronet's—the man who had been receiving his hospitality—had taken the opportunity of domestic intercourse thus afforded to him to draw from her con jugal duty the wife of his friend ; that she had, in fact, that morning eloped with her paramour. They drove off, it would appear, about half-past 1 that morning to Barnstaple, and thence to the Tiverton station of the Great Western Railway. Their course from this point we are not curious to trace. That this lady should have left in such a manner, and for such a man, a home re plete with all the earthly good that earthly wealth can furnish, a husband dotingly fond of her, and without a shadow of the causes usually assigned in such cases, is an aberration of conduct only to be charitably covered by a verdict of temporary insanity. Report says that already has the dreadful hallucination passed away, and reconciliation been sought. We give, of course, simply report, but it is highly probable that such is the case, as we know that such must be the course the moment the mind recovers its equilibrium. Sir Bourchier re turned the same evening to Tawstock Court."--Plymouth Herald. _ _ _ SWINDLERS IN DEVoNSHIRE.—During the last few days several respectable persons have been victimised in Devonshire by a set of swindlers who are prowling about under the pretence of being invalid gentlemen "in quest of health." These fellows go into respectable lodgings, and after a few days—having succeeded in winning the confidence of the people with whom they lodge —send out the servant to change a 101. note, and, having got the change, make off as speedily as possible, and try the same game in other towns. At Sidmouth, last week, a set of three fellows succeeded in passing off two forged 101. notes, which are clever imitations of the genuine article, and, of course, soon "made themselves scarce," to the great dismay of the people whom they had vic timised, and who did not discover that they had been swindled until some time afterwards. 144 • 1 I, l lb ti MA' 44V 4 •10 1 4 r Vir 6,1; 412.

The " Stakes Day" was most auspiciously celebrated. The weather was warm and sunny, and a slight breeze, laden with the odour of wild flowers and new-mown hay, most pleasantly tempered the atmosphere. The attendance of general company was perhaps scarcely equal to the average, although it included the principal patrician patrons of the turf, many distinguished fo reigners, and all the leading members of the "ring." To expatiate on the superiority and abundance of the sport is unnecessary ; the I•acing was in every respect worthy of GLORIOUS GOODWOOD. The proceedings, too, were conducted in the most efficient and exemplary manner; and although a very brief interval only was allowed between each race, the strictest punctuality was observed. Otte matter, however, occasioned much dis satisfaction—the high charges which were made for re freshments at the Grand Stand. A shilling for the smallest "go" of brandy, and sixpence for a sandwich of the slenderest and most ingeniously small construc tion, was deemed rather too much. The incompetency, imbecility, and incivility of the rural police also occa sioned some annoyances ; but their displays of " Dog berryism" were too ludicrous to excite serious dis pleasure. Much amusement was excited on Tuesday by an attempt made by a stripling " special" to eject, vi et armis the reporters from the weighing stand. The racing was interesting and important, and the occurrence of unexpected incidents rendered it unusually exciting. Adine's achievement for the Goodwood Stakes caused considerable surprise. It excited the uproarious delight of the fielders and the consternation of the parti zans of the favourite. The winner was not mentioned in the betting until the numbers were placed on the te legraph board when Captain Scott made a strong demonstration in her favour and supported her with that spirit and confidence for which he is peculiarly remarkable. At prices varying from 15 to 20 to 1 he invested an im mense stake, and is said to ba a winner of upwards of 10,000/. After the race he presented Flatman, the jockey, with 500/. ! It is rumoured that Adine was not backed by her owner; but I think it is probable that the gallant Captain above alluded to was entrusted with the commission. The "Leviathan" was, I believe, also a winner ; he did not offer odds higher than 12 to 1 against anything in the race, and did not, therefore, have an opportunity of writing Adine's name. A full description of the race will be found in another column; it is, therefore, unnecessary to enter largely into details here. Adine won cleverly, the telling pace at which Lambton made the running evidently serving here. Trifle surprised me by obtaining a forward posi tion, and his running justified the confidence which his party placed in his ability to defeat Joe Miller. In deed they could scarcely make a mistake in this respect, considering that Joe was on one occasion their trial horse, and that they pretty accurately obtained his "length" with Weathergage. Hobby-horse was in "difficulties" before reaching the distance, and Retail never once showed near the front, and trotted in some minutes after the leading jockeys had dismounted. Kingston ran a good horse, but was incapable of sus taining so severe a contest over so severe a course. Longbow, with 9st 4lb on, carried off the Stewards' Cup by two lengths, thus proving himself, if any proof were wanting, to be the best and speediest horse of his years over a short course. Lord Exeter's usual good luck deserted him in the encounter for the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes. His horse, Cobnut, was the favourite, at 3to 1 on him, but he finished last several lengths. Eulogist deprived Vander decken of the victory by half a length. The defeat of Scythian was not the least surprise which was occasioned during the day. This horse had been backed very heavily for the Derby, at 28 and 25 to 1, but the hopes of his backers have been utterly destroyed by the little promise of future excellence which he displayed, Marsyas was backed for small sums only, and his success caused uproarious delight. I have heard nothing "good " respecting the Handi caps to be decided on Friday, and have not had time to examine fully the characters and pretensions of the pro bable competitors. I shall, therefore, not express an opinion on them. Worthing, Wednesday night. A FRESH MAN. RACING FIXT JRES FOR 1853. UST.

Amonst the passengers we noticed M. Jullien, the cele brated musician, accompanied by his agent, Dr. Joy. Great dissatisfaction has been expressed by the shippers per Baltic at an alteration made upon this occasion by the age s, owing to the large quantity coming forward for shipment ; instead of being, as previously, shipped in priority of aTrival, the agents det erm i ne d t o se ttl e th e priority by lottery, to which the shippers had to yield copies of the day's Morning Advertiser were placed on board by Messrs. Willmer and Smith, news agents, of under protest. Shortly before the sailing of the Baltic, the screw steam-ship City of Glasgow, Captain Wylie, sailed for Philadelphia, with 130 cabin passengers, and a large cargo on freight. A NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.—OR Tuesday his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman consecrated and opened, with all the pomp and solemnity, a new Roman Catholic church, in Brook-green, Hammersmith. His Eminence preached the consecration sermon, and the Rev. Dr. Morris, Bishop of Troy, preached in the after noon at vespers. On both occasions the church, which is of Gothic architecture, and capable of containing a numerous congregation, was crowded to excess by a highly respectable auditory. DUTIES ON HACKNEY CARRlAGES.—Yesterday the Government bill to reduce the duties payable in respect of hackney carriages used in the metropolis, and to amend the laws relating to the granting of licences and payment of duties in respect of metropolitan stage and hackney carriages, was printed. The duties of Si. a year and 108. a week are to be repealed ; and there are to be charged, in lieu thereof, for and upon every licence to be taken out yearly to keep, use, and let to hire any such hackney carriage, 1/. ; and for and in respect of every such hackney carriage as aforesaid weekly, and every week where the license for such carriage shall authorise the using and letting to hire of the same on every day of the week, the sum of 7s. as weekly duty, and where such license shall authorise the using and letting to hire of such carriage on every day of the week, except Sunday, the sum of 6s. The duties are to be under the manage ment of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. The new act is to include the metropolitan police district and the city of London. On the very day the Government bill was issued to reduce these duties the scab proprietors withdrew their cabs from the stands. DISCOVERY OF HUMAN SKELETONS IN ST. CLEMENT'S LANE.—Last evening, while some workmen were engaged pulling down the house 30, Clement's-lane, purchased from Mr. P. S. Corvan, by the governors of King's College Hospital, for the purpose of extending their projected improvements, the men were horrified at dis covering, under the kitchen flooring, close to the par tition wall of the adjoining house, three full-length skeletons, stretched along side each other, the one of a female, and the other two being males, within a short distance of the surface, and having but a very slight, covering of accumulated dust, with which it was pretty clear that, at least for some time past, chance more than design concealed them from the public eye. From the position there is little doubt of those skeletons being the records of some dark deed, the more especially as not far from the spot where the skeletons were found there is now in existence a house, that had been in the days of J'ack Sheppard and his fraternity a rendezvous of all the cut-throats and lawless characters of the date. Mr. Corvan, the late, and Mr. Ennis the former pro prietor of the house, let it out in lodgings to weekly tenants, rather p oor , b ut very respectable.As soon as the workmen found the skeletons, they unfortunately broke them up, so that all chance of a satisfactory surgi cal examination is destroyed. The skulls were handed to a medical gentleman, and the remaining portions of the skeletons were stowed away in baskets, where they will remain until an official order for their final disposal, arrives. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. I An anniversary service was celebrated yesterday in the church of St. Leu, for the repose of the soul of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, King of Holland, who died a t Fl orence on July 26, 1846. The Emperor and Empress were present, accompanied by the principal personages of their respective households. There were also to be seen amongst the persons in the church, the Ministers of State, Justice, the Interior, War, and Finance • M. Viel lard, Sen a t or ; M . Pietri, Prefect of Police • M. Noel, Notary o f hi s M a j esty ; tho Mayor of? the Commune, and a certain number cf old soldiers. The church was crowded, and a great number of persons were stationed outside. A catafalque was excited in the nave, the corners being held by four old soldiers. Their Majesties were seated in front, at each side of the high altar. The service was celebrated by the cure of the parish, assisted by a number of priests from the neighbourhood. After the absolution, their Majesties, followed by their households and the Ministers, descended into the vault constructed under the choir of the church, and in which lie the mortal remains of the deceased King by the side of his father, Charles Bonaparte, and of his two sons ; the first of whom died in Paris, when an infant, and the second at Forli, in 1831. Their Majesties, on leaving the church, re turned to St. Cloud, followed by cries from the crowd of Vive l'Empertur ! Vive l'lmperatrice ! The Alexandre steamer has arrived at Marseilles. She brings a protest drawn up by the Divan on the 14th, against the invasion of the Principalities by the Russians, and the violation of the Ottoman ter ritory. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has induced the Sultan to send an ambassador extraordinary to St. Petersburgh to open fresh negotiations. The ambassador has left. Greece is calm. The French squadron is still at Besika. Admiral Hamelinhas assumed the command. Five Turkish ships of war have been sent to cruise off the Black Sea.

TURKEY AND RUSSIA. By a telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles, we learn the arrival of the Caradoc from Constanti nople, which she left on the 20th, bringing intelli gence said to be of the most pacific description. The Porte had signed the arrangement proposed by England and France, with the consent of Austria and Prussia. Continued conferences take place between the Ambassadors of the allies, from which we have the assurance of a peaceful solution. The fanaticism of the Turkish population is still kept up, but con fined to partial disturbances without importance. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Jassy of the 15th which gives an account of the entry of the Russians into the principalities, and says : " The Russian troops on arriving on the banks of the Pruth, and before leaving their own country by the bridges prepared for them, threw themselves on their knees, and in a short prayer invoked the protection of God." The letter, after giving some details, adds : " It is supposed that some fine morning a Russian General will say to the Hospodar of Moldavia, Give up your place that I may take it I' The population, however, would not see that with pleasure ; it esteems the reigning prince, to whom the best intentions are ascribed ; but he does little for the public weal, because he has no money. All lands are possessed by the nobi lity and the monasteries. The lands do not pay any tax. This country possesses all the elements of great prospe rity, if the people only knew how to turn the lands to account. Everywhere its appearance is beautiful: everywhere the lands are of extraordinary fertility up to the top of the mountains. We are in nearly the same latitude as Orleans, but the winters are more rigorous, and the summers hotter. Maize is the principal culture, and is the basis of the people's food. Oxen are verxfine, but badly taken care of. The red and white wines have the taste, the qualities, and the faults of those of Cham pagne, but they are badly made. Provisions are cheap, but choice vegetables and good fruit are scarce. All the trade is in the hands of Jews and of about a hundred foreigners. The peasantry are intelligent and upright. Luxury ruins the nobility." Letters from Odessa of the 14th announce that new regiments of the Russian army contin ue to arrive at Bessarabia and in the Crimea, h there is an intention of forming an army of re serve. A diplomatic agency has been attached to the head quarters of the expeditionary army. It i s composed of the emploges of the Constantinople Legation, and is placed under the direction of M. Kotzebue, the Consul General in Wallachia. It has been stated from various sources that the Emperor of Russia has declared that the difference between him and the Sultan is an affair which con cerns only themselves, and that no other power has a right to interfere in the matter. This statement is utterly at variance with all that had been previ ously stated, for we had been assured that the Czar had accepted the mediation of Austria, and received favourably the propositions which had been made to him by the British and French Governments. It was, indeed, added that the Czar had observed that as the two parties in dispute were himself and the Sultan, he could give no answer to any proposition unless it came in a direct way from the Sultan, but this was considered to be only a matter of form, and as it was believed that the Sultan, under the advice of the Ambassadors of the great powers at Constan tinople, had consented to make the first advances in the way of conciliation, most persons regarded the Eastern question as settled. The account now given of the state of the negotiations places the affair in a very different position ; but we may be permitted to express a hope that it is not well founded ; for if the right of the great powers to interfere between Russia and Turkey were to be thus openly disputed by the Emperor Nicholas, it would become necessary for them, in support of their honour and their interests, to insist upon the right of intervention, which is given to them by existing treaties, whenever the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire is menaced. In expressing a hope that the statement in question will turn out to be at least an exaggeration, we are bound to state that there is an article in the Con stitutionnel, in which it is noticed in a way which would imply that something has occurred which is I not of a satisfactory character. ' The German Journal of Frankfort publishes a letter from Constantinople, relative to the late mi nisterial crisis there, in which it is stated that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, in his interview with the Sultan, after informing his Majesty that the report of his having been recalled from his post as ambassador was unfounded, rep ea t e d i n the- name of his sovereign all the friendly assurances that had d t y h abeen the given dismissal t o the R eS e s u e l h t d p Sultan ; a a ch dd a i 2 n a g n , d how the ever, admission to the cou nc il s of the Sultan of the fana tical party, would materially T. affect the relations with the foreign powers. correspondent of the Frankfortisa j s o s u ur rn an a ze, pr s o a d y u s the ced an immediate effect on t h e mind of the Sultan. A letter from Constantinople of the 14th, in a Vienna journal, states that workmen were em ployed there in again putting up the imperial eagles in front o f th e Russian embassy, as M. d, Ozeroff was daily expected. A Vienna letter of the 22d states that the ad vanced guard of the Russian army of occupation, under the orders of General Aurep, was to enter Bucharest on the 15th. It adds that General Gortschakoff will not establish his head-quarters there before the 25th ; but it appears from a Vienna journal that he left Jassy on the 12th for Bucha rest. The Russian advanced guard consists of 7,000 cavalry and artillery. The army itself was to arrive in Bucharest a day after. According to the Temestvar Gazette, the presence of the Russians occasioned no agitation, and as they purchased largely, especially corn, the traders were satisfied. A letter from Warsaw of the 16th, states that several foreigners had been arrested there by the secret police, on suspicion of attempting to cause excitement against the Government. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 22d contains a royal decree enacting that all the employes of the colo nies, who are on leave of absence in Spain or else where, shall immediately return to their posts. An exception is, however, made in favour of such as are deputies in the Cortes. The Epoca an nounce the arrest at Valencia of M. Moron, de puty of that place ; but does not state for what reason. The Clamor Publico says, that General Jose de la Concha has presented to the Government a memoir on the political state, the Government and the Administration of the island ofCubal has requested to be allowed to publish it.
