Several of the constituencies in England and Scotland have irreparably disgraced themselves by sacrificing either men of distinguished character or principles of the truest patriotism, by the most sordid, the most contemptible, and the most splenetic opposition. Edinburgh has in this manner, from the pettiest of all possible motives, forsaken a man whose genius, whose eloquence, whose liberality, and whose consistent statesmanship were honourable alike to himself and his constituency. In rejecting the Right Hon. THOMAS BAHINGTON MacABLAy the Liberals of Edinburgh have gratified a momentary grudge, but in so doing they have permanently separated them selves from an orator and a legislator of consummate ability. This electioneering apostacy on the part of ignoble emulation with the voters of Bath. Mr. ROEBUCK is ousted after fifteen years of eminent Parliamentary services ; Mr. MACAULAY is dis comfited with equal callousness by the very men whose interests he has been supporting with such unrivalled oratory and such unyielding integrity of purpose. Like the ingratitude evinced by . the people of Lambeth in throwing out their veteran representative, Mr. HAWES, that of the people of Edinburgh is without any palliation whatever. It is as deplorable a piece of tergiversation in point of sincerity as the rejection of Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE by the electors of Not tingham. The Liberal interest has lost in Mr. HAWES and in Mr. ROEBUCK two strenuous and emi nent supporters. The Government has, in the ill success of Mr. MACAULAY and of Sir JOHN CAM IlonHousE, been grievously worsted for the time being. A miserable example is afforded to the minor con stituencies of the empire by the meanness of the po litical desertion of Edinburgh. It is not so much because Mr. Macau'.Av is one of the most brilliant orators of the age—it is not so much because he is one of the most eloquent and majestic writers in the English language—it is not so much because of the scope of his literary attainments, and the superb fecundity of his imagination, that we con ceive the electors of Edinburgh have evinced extraordinary obtuseness of perception in re jecting him. It is because, with these lavish and beautiful evidences of Mr. MACAULAY'S genius, he combines the most generous principles and the most staunch consistency. By rendering him the unsuc cessful candidate on the city hustings, Edinburgh has for ever severed the connexion hitherto main tained between herself and the present Pay- , aster of her MAJESTY'S Forces. Mr. MACAULAY himself de clared this on the termination of the contest ; nor can we be in any manner surprised at the resolution of the Right Hon. Gentleman, when we consider that he has been discarded, not from any positive difference of political opinion between himself and his con stituency, but from a sorry paroxysm of local ani mosity, under the transparent pretext that he was disentitled to the suffrages of the Edinburgh voters, because he objected to pledge himself deliberately and definitively to a particular line of conduct upon a certain problematic question of a politico-religious character. In refusing to enter into this conditional agreement, Mr. MACAULAY has sacrificed his imme diate chances of obtaining his old seat in Parliament, but he has thereby likewise preserved his character unblemished. Not so his late constituents. In pro posing this pled ge they de graded themselves, and lost a man of a capacious intellect, a sound heart, and a pure conscience. Glasgow has acted in a manner singularly oppo site. It has elected as its representative s ofaetwo . candi dates qualified for th a t o ffi ce by theire al and municipal experience. M r . MACGREGOR will, we are satisfied, fulfil the anticipations w hi c h have be e n heretofore excited by the genius ev i nced by him n in political economy, both as a writer upon that science, and as a practical promoter of free trade in his capacity as secretary to the Board of Trade—Mr. MACGREGOR will, we are satisfied, fulfil all the anticipations thus created now that he has obtained a passport to the Legislative Chamber at Westminster. If Stockport has betrayed the popular party by associating with Mr. COBDEN a man imbued with all the Conservative prejudices of Mr. HEALD, Glasgow, at least, has been true to itself and to the people by giving Mr. MACGREGOR as a co ll eague to P rovos t H AS TIE. Mr. K ERSHA W has been rejected by Stockport, but Mr. MACGREGOR has been accepted by Gl asgow. Amongst all t h e vicissitudes of the general elec tion, however, it is n i: . s h t ich sat h isfactory to watch the extraordinary succe ss hitherto attended the Liberal candidates.

Other places not enumerated in the foregoing catalogue might, in like manner, be men tioned as sending two Liberals to the House of Com mons, considering that the avowed followers of Sir ROBERT PEEL are in all essential respects coincident with the supporters of the Government. Such con stituencies as these are the cities of Liverpool and Canterbury. General IRIABTE has arrived in Madrid. The Eeo del Comercio announces that the parties who took the quicksilver contract have paid up the second in stalment before it became due. COSTA CABRAL has resigned the Portuguese embassy at Madrid, and his resignation has been accepted. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton "Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was firm, at the previous rates. Sales 7,000 bales, including 600 bales American for export, and 2,500 on speculation. American realised 61d. to 74d. per lb. In Shares there was more spirit. The market was rather active, and improved prices were realised. In the Manchester letter of Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor received to-day, it is stated that " Although there was considerable excitement in the Liverpool mar ket, and some large operations were effected at improved rates, the feeling was temporary. During the past three weeks the business done has only been moderate, and holders, although not anxious to press sales, have shown a disposition to relax a little in their demands. Since the arrival of the Caledonia, the market has assumed more activity, and prices are quoted the turn higher. According to American estimates, the receipts of last year's crop, as compared with that of the year preceding, are less : the stocks held at the ports are now, however, 152,000 bags more than last year, whilst the exports to Great Britain at this time show a deficiency, as compared with the same period last year, of fully 245,000 bales; and if even the excess of stock at the seaboard of the States were added, we should be still nearly 100,000 bales deficient of last year's supply, not withstanding that the consumption has been reduced fully one-third. This position of things gives reason for serious apprehension, and plainly proves that Great Britain must open out for herself wider sources of sup ply, or her manufacturing industry may some day sus tain a calamitous revulsion too great to contemplate, if she continue to be dependent on the vicissitudes of the season in one quarter of the globe. It appears to be now a settled question that the value of cotton will be for a time enhanced by . every indication of improvement in this market, and it is therefore to be expected that any revival of business here will be followed by a de mand for high prices. We believe no class of our staple manufactures, whether yarns or goods, leaves a fair profit to the producer." The splendid weather for the growing c r o p s i s facili tating harvest, and operations around London and in the southern- counties, and abroad the harvest is pro greasing rapidly. The quantity of English and foreign Grain and Flour at market is large, and Wheat is called 10s. per quarter lower than on this day week. New samples are in the market of excellent quality.. • There are no ship arrivals with late intelligence of any interest, but the East Indian advices by the overland mail are as favourable as could be expected, seeing the effect of the monetary pressure in England. The Funds opened this morning with a decided ten dency to advance, but any further improvement has been checked by a large sale made through an influential broker. Consols are 89 tog for account, and 88* for transfer. Consols Scrip is a premium. Exchequer. [mils have been 7s. to 10s. premium; and India Bonds under 1,0001., 2s. premium. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 904 to 91, and the Three per Cents. 84. East India Stock has been firmer at 244. The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish Five per Cents, have realised 22 ; and the Three per Cents. 31. There have been no bargains in Portuguese or Mexican, but Grenada have improved to 19f. Brazil stock is at 85. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 90+ to 904. For It iilway Shares the market is looking better, but there is yet no particular increase of business. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The Revolution of 1830 commenced, it will be remembered, by the publication of the protest of the journalists against the illegal ordinances of CHARLES X. On this subject we find the following in the Presse The elections in Ireland commence this day, and for the next fortnight the peace of the Green Island will be disturbed by the conflicting claims of Protec tionists, Conservatives, Tories, Liberals, Radicals, moral-force and physical-force Repealers, et hoc genus omne. The coffers of Conciliation Hall have been, and will be enriched by sundry 51. contribu tions, which, by a rather remarkable coincidence, flow in at this particular period with extraordinary rapidity, from recent converts to the advantages of a domestic Legislature. It now appears that such a subscription is the sole test required from a candi date to entitle him to the popular suffrages, and that the most tried and faithful services are to be lost sight of, and disregarded, in the overwhelming claims of the new five-pounders. No matter what might have been the former opinions of the donor, whether he fought under the Orange banner, or proclaimed his ultra-Tory princi ples at Conservative meetings—all is to be forgotten and forgiven. Nay—no impertinent question will be asked as to what changes may have occurred in his political feelings. The 51.-like charity will cover a multitude of offences, and a plenary absolution will be afforded to the liberal convert from every other sin. While the Irish Secretary is to be opposed in Drogheda, and the Master of the Mint in Dungarvon) the fiercest and most thorough-going opponents of every liberal sentiment are to be suffered to walk over the course, without even the excitement of a con test. It is a strange, an unaccountable inci dent in the history of the present elections, that much fiercer hostility, more bitter ani mosities are excited by some trivial and petty differences between those who, in almost every other respect, are identical in political feeling, than is felt against those with whom there is no sentiment in common. This has been remarked in England and in Scotland, but it prevails with tenfold force in Ire land. The out-and-out Conservatives are suffered to remain unmolested, but in every Liberal constituency a contest mostly takes place, even though a favour able result may be utterly hopeless, and the only con sequence an increased expense and annoyance to the Liberal candidates. " It is, perhaps, interesting to ascertain what has be come, after seventeen years, of the journalists who signed the celebrated protest of the press in July, 1830. Of the forty- lour jourualists who signed that act, which proclaimed a revolution, and gave the throne to the family of Orleans, eight are dead, Messrs. Larreguy, Arree, Chatelain, Armand Carrel, Challas, Bert, Au guste Fabre, and Evariste Du Moulin; four have quitted France, Messrs. Albert Stapfer, Dupont, Plagniol, and Fazy. The last has taken an important part in the re cent revolution at Geneva. Two have become Ministers, Messrs. Thiers and De Remusat ; eight have become Councillors of State, Directors-General, or Prefects, Messrs. Baude, Billiard, Dejean (now Postmaster General), De Jussieu, Mignet, De Guizard, Gaujaret, and Bohain ; four have high offices under Government, Messrs. Cauchois-Lemaire, Senty, Ader, and Moussette. One is a procureur-general, M. Barbaroux ; another is a consul, M. Levasseur ; two have become millitary sous-intendans, MM. Vaillant and Hausmann ; four have become librarians, MM. Avenel, Peiss, Rolle, and Guyet; two are directors of theatres, MM. Leon Pillet and Roqueplan ; and three directors of journals, MM. Cham bolle, Coste, and Valentin de la Pelouze ; two went into trade, MM. Dnbochet and Dussard ; and lastly, theee are, as they were at first, journalists, MM. Pierre Le roux, Busoni, and Sarrans. Of this number eight nave been or are at the present moment Members of the Chamber of Deputies. namely—MM. Thiers, De Remu sat, Chambolle, De Jussieu, De Guizard, Dejean, and Baude. The whole of the forty-four have received the decoration of the Legion of Honour." It has hitherto been the custom for all the journals except those advocating Legitimatist principles, to give the workmen a holiday on the last day of the fetes, and to suspend the publication of their papers. This year, however, the Presse, and the Journal des Debats have both joined the Legitimatist journals in refusing to give their workmen a holiday in honour of the revolution, and in publishing their respective journals. The Presse compliments the Journal des Debats on this, and recommends that the anniversary of the revolution should cease to be observed. The other journals are very severe upon the the tendency thus unmistakenly exhibited by the dynasty to repu 'diate its origin. We give the following from the National as an example of the feeling which at the present moment actuates, we believe, the great ma jority of the people of France : _ " Honour to the Journal des Debats ! It is the Presse which yesterday very seriously raised this cry of en thusiasm. The Debats ought to be flattered at it. The Presse finds a double merit in that journal; the day before it had given an excellent article attacking the Ministry; the next day it did an excellent thing in re fusing to join with the abominable journals which cele brated as a fete the anniversary olJuly 29 1 Honour to the Journal des Debats ! The Presse seizes this occasion to develop its theory on political anniversaries. They are all equally bad, for they keep up civil discord, and it is on that account that this sublime journal calls for a policy for which the maintenance of material order is not everything, for which the triumph of moral order is also something, and which places force between reason and magnanimity.' These are very fine sentiments, and the triumph of moral order, at the present time, would be a thing much relished in France. But an understanding ought to be come to. Is the revolution of July considered a just, legitimate, and eminently moral act? If this victorious insurrection was only an outbreak of physical force, let it be so de-' Glared: but in that case let us be consistent; let us send about their business Louis Phillippe and his dynasty, and every agent of the present Government! Let us recal the heir of Charles X., and let the crown be restored to bim. Reasoning leads to that conclusion, and when the Presse boasts of being dynastic, it is completely :nconsistent. The dynasty has substituted itself surreptitiously for another, and the crime of the Duke of Orleans merits execration; he, placed on the steps of the throne, loaded with the benefits of the elder branch, in place of partaking their bad fortune, has, accord.ng to this, accepted a crown which ought to pollute his forehead; and this contrary to right; to obey the regulation of a blind force which was not moved by any true idea, by any moral senti ment, which caused only an odious iniquity to prevail in place of an eternal principle ! In truth, the Presse, of which the theory involves these conclusions, appears to us more Russian than Orkanist on the occasion. We are obliged to it, however, for its frankness, awkward as it is; and challenged by it, the Journal des Debats will, without doubt, t. xplain the cause why it did not wish to celebrate the anniversary of July!" In many of the constituencies a triumph could easily be obtained if there was a judicious arrangement to combine all the power of the Liberal electors in favour of some eligible person, which will now, from a blind obstinacy on the part of the Repealers, be handed over to the com mon enemy. In Dublin, for instance, such a person as Mr. GEORGE ROE, the second Lord Mayor of the reformed corporation, recommended to that high office by the lamented Liberator as his most fitting successor, would most assuredly be returned by a large majority over either of the late Members. There are many others of almost equal pretensions who would doubtless gladly come forward and rescue the Irish metropolis from the stain which must other wise be affixed to it, of sending two Tories to the Imperial Legislature as its representatives ; but, un fortunately, they cannot swallow the repeal pledge, or make up their minds to the required contribution of 51.; and these are essentials which cannot be overlooked. The metropolis is still to be misrepre sented by the " quarter-acre " advocate and his con genial associate. True it is that a con test is still talked of; but, unless some person with greater pretensions than Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS can be submitted to the electors, it will be vox et praterea nihzl. We do not desire to say anything personally disrespectful to that gen tleman ; but he is certainly not a person in any re spect qualified to represent the chief city of Ireland. Even Mr. FAGAN, a gentleman professing repeal sen- I.;--e. .•.e. ~as lequesLeu ro oband ac n eendidate. and had nearly been induced to do so, positively re fused, it is said, to be associated with him, although he declared that if any other Repealer, prepared with the sum of money requisite to afford a fair chance of success, would consent to take the field, he (Mr. FAGAN) would be prepared to coalesce with him, and to make every exertion for suc cess. Surely some discretion should be mani fested by those on whom the mantle of O'CON• NELL has descended as the leaders of the Irish people. That sagacious patriot never suffered a real injury to be inflicted cn the best interests of his beloved country from useless and unavailing con tests; he never rejected the benefits that were ten dered for his acceptance on behalf of Ireland because they did not g0..t0 the full extent of his wishes. No; he gladly received every instalment of justice to his native land, and avowed that he thereby gained ad ditional strength to enable him ultimately to obtain his desires. He knew where to yield, andalthough, when oc casion required, firm and unbending, he never damaged his cause by reckless and wayward obstinacy. Hence his peaceful triumphs, his bloodless victories. By these means he purged the statute-book of the atro cious penal code—he advanced the cause of civil and religious liberty—and entitled his Roman Catholic brethren to places in the Senate, and to a participa tion in every political privilege with the professors of the more favoured creed. Had it been otherwise, he would not have attained the European reputa tion he enjoyed, nor would his name havk gone down to posterity as one of the greatest bene factors of mankind ; the most successful popular leader that ever lived, the attainer of a bloodless and peaceful revolution, and the vindicator of the rights and liberties of his oppressed fellow-country men. Would that his children would follow in the footsteps of their illustrious parent. At present they are sustained by the prestige attached to his name; but it must depend on their own wisdom and dis cretion whether they will maintain their position. -Let their first question be—how would he have acted in similar circumstances ? And if they act in a similar manner they cannot err. He would never suffer the ultra-Tory, the uncom promising opponent of progressive reforms, the stickler for the abuses of bygone days, the yearner after Protestant Ascendency, and the palmy days of Orange Administrations, to be sent to the Senate in preference to the honest Whig Reformer. Let them act in a similar manner, and not be led astray by the headstrong folly, the ridiculous absurdity of the Young Irelanders, and their brainless leaders; by so doing, the.), will advance their country's cause, and prove themselves fitting successors to the great de par. ted But, if otherwise, they will only afford an additional proof of how seldom have the sons of remarkable fathers maintained the position to which they had been elevated on the strength of their pro genitor's achievements. A¢ o rs".<>l of db. A - , troKroicha tPritionoioc filo pro sent Government, it may be mentioned that a party of respecteble citizens at Semur were refused permis- sion to celebrate the anniversary of the revolution, by the Mayor, who stated that he had " received in structions to that effect from superior authority." The Congtitutionnel has the following, on the reply of the Archbishop of PARIS, to the students, who asked him to pronounce a funeral oration on O'CoN NELL, in which that prelate intimated that the Roman Catholic bishops in France did not enjoy full reli crious liberty. After quoting the observations of the Archbishop, the Constitutlonnel says : " All this is not serious, and the clerical party subsists upon very ridiculous paradoxes. The Archbishop of Paris knows as well as we do that this pretended liberty of the Catholic religion in Ireland consists in being put out of the common law. A mode of worship is not free when those who profess it ate by that alone deprived of the political and social rights which are enjoyed by their fellow-cittzpns, are burthened with public charges which the rest have not to bear, and arc truly oppressed. The Catholic religion is not only free in France, but has all the favour of the law and the State. We can compre hend a demand by the clergy of freedom like that in Belgium, because in Belgium this freedom amounts to privilege and domination; but to demand such a liberty as is enjoy.A in Ireland is a ntle ckery of the people. The sophists of the theological school fancy they have proved their theme when they have only combined a parcel of words. But the public looks into the depths of things, and learns how to appreciate them. Grave men, like the Archbishop of Panic, are in the wrong when they forget this." CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

" The Catholic reli gion is not only free in France, but has all the favour of the law and State ;" but this is not enough to satisfy the Parti- Pretre. The liberty which they require is not the liberty of equality, but the liberty of superiority--the liberty of lording it over the State, and of persecuting every other sect. In the Chamber of Peers, on Friday, M. Dusou- CHAGE made some severe remarks on the conduct of the French Government in arresting the Spanish re fugees, and sending them as prisoners to towns in the interior of France. The act was justified by M. DUCHATEL on the ground of the existence of a con spiracy among; the; refugees to effect a counter-revo lution in Spain. The Marquis DE BOISST denied the existence of the conspiracy, and reminded M. Du- CHATEL that he himself (M. DUCHATEL); a Minister of State, had actually aided the refugees in getting up a conspiracy against ESPARTERO. The Minister of the Interior made no reply to this home thrust. BOURSE, JULY 31, THREE O'CLOCK.—This was an other very heavy day at the Bourse, especially in Rail way Shares, all of which, with only one or two excep tions, experienced a further decline. The Funds were steadier, and closed at very little under the prices of yesterday. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen 10c. ; the Five per Cents. have risen sc. For Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 15c., and Five per Cents, 10c. Bank of France Shares are as yesterday. :Gouin Bank I,ooof. Shares not quoted. Ganneron Bank Shares as yesterday.

For. Money the business was very limited. The HeWile of the 29th says—" Accounts, which may be regarded as certain, state that the French Government has renounced every sort of intervention in the affairs of Switzerland. There will be no more notes in favour of the Sonderbund." A letter from Tesino, of the 26th, states that five waggons laden with ammunitions having arrived at Lugano, for the use of the Catholic League, the populace assembled, and threatening to throw the ammunitions into the river, the regency of Lugano resolved to prevent the transit until the decision of the Vorort Should be known. According to the Augsburg Gazette, Austria and Sardinia have been openly supplying the Sonderbund with arms, and France has been doing the same thing surreptitiously. The supply by France has been managed by M. GuizoT in a manner completely characteristic of that Protestant Jesuit. If asked in the Chamber whether he has assisted the Sonderbund GUIZO T by supplying them with field artillery, M. esand • , treating the can (acting with the same mental. reservation as in the affair of the Spanish maraiag Chamber as he did Lord NORMANBY) answer no ! lie has not given them cannon, he has only sold ca nnon to them at a very low price.

DEATH PROM BATHING.—On Saturday an inquest was taken by Mr. Bak r, at the Adam and Eve, Ho merton, on view of the body of Ben Sa:e, aged 34, a 'eating. wax maker, who was drowned in the river Lea. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who was living at No. 5, Brook-street, Bermondsey, on Thursday last went to the river Lea for the purpose of fishing off the Hackney marshes. After a short time there he was induced to bathe. Being able to swim he plunged in, but was not long in the water when he was observed to sink. The drags were obtained, and the body was got out in about a quarter of an hour. The usual means were resorted to for the restoration of life, but without effect. He has left a wife and six children.

Calves. ... 105 ... 187 ... ... 66 - 910 ... - 973 ... 87 Total 770 ... 3,710 ... 192 ... 480 At the outpurts, the arrivals have consisted of about 600 Beasts, 1,260 Sheep and Lambs, and 160 Calves, in, for the most part, fair condition. Upwards of 400 head of various kinds of foreign Stock were landed this morning, chiefly from Rotterdam and Haraburgh; and the supply on offer here comprised 784 Oxen and Cows, 1,642 Sheep and Lambs, and 175 Calves. The quality was by no means good, and a clearance was not effected, although the importers sumitted to lower currencies. The arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing districts, fresh up to-day, were considerably on the increase, and large, even the time of year considered, but the quality —though there was a slight improvement in it—was by no means first rate. Notwithstanding the attendance of both town and country buyers was numerous, the Beef trade, arising from the prevailing hot wea ther, was excessively dull, at a decline in the quotations paid on this day se'nnight, of fully 4d per 81bs, the very highest figure for the best Scots (and which was ob• tained in very few instances) not exceeding 4s 8d per 81hs. Most of the best Beasts were disposed of, but a large number of the inferior kinds left the market unsold. this was decidedly the largess supply of Beasts exhi bited on any previous market day during the whole of the present year. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and our other northern grazing dis tricts, we received about 1,400 short horns; from the Eastern, Western, and Midland Counties, 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, Scots, &c.; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 320 horned and polled Scots. With Sheep we were very heavily supplied, but there was a great deficiency in their ge neral quality. The few prime old Downs on offer pro duCed last week's prices, viz., from 5s to 5s 4d per 81bs, but all other breeds declined quite 2d per 81bs, without a clearance being effected. The sale for Lambs, the supply of which was extensive, was in a very depressed state at an abatement in value of 2d per 81bs, the highest figure being 6s 2d per 81bs. Calves were in good supply and heavy inquiry at last week's depression. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, at previous currencies. Per albs. to sink the offal. s. d. to v. d.

Notwithstanding the arrivals of country-killed meat up to these markets last week were on a very limited scale, and the supplies on offer killed in the metropolis small, even the time of year considered, we have to re port a very inactive demand for each kind of mt at, and in some instances the quotations have declined 2d per 81bs, and much difficulty has been experienced in effect ing clearances.

Very large supplies of new Potatoes have been on sale here since our last report, yet a very extensive business has been transacted, at prices varying from 6s to 13s per cwt. The general quality of the Potatoes is extremely good. - BOROUGH HOP MARKET. The plantation accounts—it we except those from the Farnham district—continuing very favourable, the de mand here, for all kinds of Hops, is very dull, at droop ing prices. The supply on offer is good, and the duty is called 180,0001. Our impression is that it will con siderably exceed that amount. Sussex Pockets, 31 18s to 4165; Weald of Kent, ditto, 414 s to 5135; Mid and East Kent, ditto, 51 5s to 71. per hundred. wob36. The imports of Wool into London, last week, were chiefly composed of 905 bales from Sydney, and 220 bales from llarnburgh. In the private contract market, the supply of Wool on offer is good yet, the oetiJaztc4 is tolerably steady, and previous rates—especially for the best qualities of colonial—are well supported. TALLOW. As larger supplies of Tallow may be shortly expected here, the trade purchase with extreme caution ; yet, on the whole, prices are tolerably well supported. P. Y. C., on the spot, is selling at 48s to 48s 3d, and for delivery in the last three months, 47s per cwt. Town Tallow is 48s to 48s 3d net cash, with a very moderate supply on offer. By advices from St. Petersburgh, we learn that about 40,000 casks have been shipped off against 20,000 casks, at the corresponding period in 1846. Rough Fat is 2s 9id per 81133. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) William 7'hompson was charged before Mr. Jardine with burglary. Policeman F 117 said that at about five o'clock yes terday morning he was on duty in Chancery-lane, and on passing the house No. 39, he heard a noise inside the hall door. He tried the door, and finding it open, went in. The prisoner was in the passage, and had on him a coat and hat, which, as he afterwards discovered, were the property of Mr. Bartlett, the master of the house. In the pockets of the coat were a diamond ring, a pair of silver candlesticks, a clothes brush, and some other articles. Witness called up the people of the house, and found that the ring, candlesticks, and some other ar ticles had been stolen from the parlour and kitchen. The back kitchen door had been forced, and there was no doubt the prisoner had entered there. The prisoner said that he was left there by a man, who gave him the property, saying, he would return in a few minutes. A knife, a Inciter box in a leather case, and a file, were in the pockets of the prisoner's own coat. The cham bers of Mr. Keightly, a few doors off, had been broken into a short time before, and a brush and some other articles stolen. The prisoner had probably passed from Mr. Keightly's to Mr. Bartlett's by the leads. A hat, supposed to be the prisoner's, was found on the rack f rom which Mr. Bartlett's had been taken. Some parts of this statement were corroborated by Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Keightly, who identified the articles produced as their property. The prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Minton, a well-dressed woman, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing two pieces of hum, value 7s. 6d., the property of Francis Bateman. William Connell stated that he was in the employ of Mr. Francis Bateman, cheesemonger, of No. 96, Great Titchfield-street, Marylebone. On Saturday night, about eleven o'clock, the prisoner came into his master's shop, and took up two pieces of ham, weighing about nine pounds, and placed it under her shawl, and left the shop. He followed her, and gave her into custody, and took the ham from her. The prisoner pretended to know nothing about it, and said she was troubled with great absence of mind. Mr. BINGHAM said he would leave a jury to bring the circumstance to her recollection, by committing her for trial. Thomas Foley was charged with being drunk and dis orderly, and assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. James Broadway, police-constable 115, said he was on duty in Union-street, Middlesex Hospital, about twelve o'clock on the previous night, when his attention was called to two females who were fighting in the street. He went to separate them, when the prisoner asked him what business he had to interfere, " and if he did not be off he would knock his (witness's) eye out." Witness advised the prisoner to go home quietly. The prisoner refused, and having called to some of his companions proceeded to abuse witness. The prisoner then struck him a blow on the face, and knocked him down, and jumped upon him. Witness sprang his rattle, and several of his brother constables came to his aid, and took the prisoner into custody. Witness had received serious injury from the prisoner's violence, and was rendered totally incapable of duty. The prisoner, who made a very rambling defence, denying the charge, was committed to the House of Correction for one month. Mr. It imam Bradley, 14, South-square, Gray's Inn, and Mr. George Bull, 28, Seymour-place, Portman square, described in the charge-sheet as gentlemen, were charged by Mr. Thomas Harrison, solicitor, of No. 5, Walbrook, with violently assaulting him. The complainant stated that shortly after eleven on the previous night he got on to the top of an omnibus at Putney, in order to proceed to town. The defendants were also passengers by the same vehicle, and as soon as the omnibus started they commenced a series of very impertinent remarks regarding his dress and appear ance ; and the defendant Bradley went so far as to call him a pickpocket, which the other reiterated. On alighting at Regent circus, about half-past twelve, com plainant went up to Bradley, and asked him how he dared to call him a pickpocket, and requested him to make an apology and retract the assertion. He refused to do so. Complainant then took him by the collar and shook him. While he had Bradley by the collar, the defendant Bull rushed at him, and with a stick struck him with great violence on the head and face. One blow cut through his hat, and made a considerable .wound on his forehead. Another blow cut both his lips and wounded his nose. Complainant then let go of Bradley, whe n th ey b ot h rus h e d a/ him; he fell down, and the two defendants fell upon - him. He then called a constable and gave them into custody. The defendants admitted chat:Ong plaintiff on their MARKET NENVS,(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—(MONDAY). Comparatively speaking, the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week were good, though we cannot call them large, even the time of year consi dered. Of all other kinds of home Grain (with the exception of tho. , :e of Malt), the receipts were trifling in the extreme. From Ireland and Scotland only a few parcels of Foreign Flour came to hand. As to the Foreign receipts, they were immense. they having con sisted of upwards of 63,000 quarters of Wheat, 12,000 ditto of Barley, 32,000 ditto of Oats, 3,000 ditto of Beans, 3,000 ditto of In .ian Corn, 46,000 barrels and 3,200 sacks of Flour. Fresh up to-day there was a considerable increase in the arrivals of English Wheat from Essex and Kenti hence the show of samples, many of which were left over from Monday last, was seasonably extensive, and of excellent quality. Although the attendance of buyers was moderately good, the En g li s h Wh eat trade, owivg to the continuance of fine weather for harvest operations, and the large im portations o f f ore i gn G ra i n an d Flour, was excessively dull, at a decline on last Monday's quotations of fully 103 per quarter, and at which Scarcely a moiety of the supply was disposed of. There were about a hundred quarters of new E ssex Wh ea t on offer, ready for imme diate delivery, an d i n excellent con dition. A large por tion was bro ug h t f orward by Mr. William Blewitt, of Rainbam, Essex ; and we may observe that the asking prices varied f rom 7 0s to 75s per quarter ; but we did not h ear There was a g oo d supp l y o f foreign Barley on show, of any transactions a t those r ates. but no sa m pl es o f E ngl i sh. Th e trade for all kinds was 4 unusually heavy, an d th e ra tes declined from Is to 2s per quarter, w i t h out ma ki ng any progress in sales. The supply with that art i c l e was very dul l , an d the quotations de of Malt being on the increase , the trade clined from is to 2s per quarter. 6‘ing to the lazes supply of foreign Oats, the Oat trade was greatly depressed, and the prices receded I s to 2s per quarter. There was a very slow inquiry for Beans, but in most in stances last week's prices were supported. A. few par cels of new English were on offer at 44s to 46s per way to town, but denied striking the complainant till they were at first assailed. Mr. BINGHAM said it was a case for a jury to decPe. lle Lhould theiefore sou(' it to the quarter-sessions, but would hold the ddendants to bail in two sureties of 2001. each, and themselves in the sum of 1001. each. Tt'e complainant subsequently entered the court and said that the defendants deeply regretted their conduct, and had made an ample apology. He, therefore, with the Magistrate's permission, would proceed no further, providing they put a sum of money in the poor box. Mr. BINGHAM said it was very kind on his part, and he should request them to put 10/. in the poor box. THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) Sarah Goodwin was charged under the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., cap. 53, see. 32, with having worked an illicit still in an unentered place, whereby she had rendered herself liable to a penalty not exceeding 1001., and not less than 301. From the evidence of two officers of the Excise named itohnston and Pargeter, it appeared that the front door was open and they walked through the house. In the yard they found the prisoner, and there was a man walk ing up and down smoking a pipe. She acknowledged the illicit distillation. Her husb•end and herself received 20s. per week for working the still, and that distress had driven them to it. Mr. YARDLEY—That is an important fact, as it proves that you have taken the wrong prisoner, as this woman acted under the influence of her husband. Pargeter—The Act, your Worship, specifies any one found in or about the premises. Mr. YARDLEY—Understand me. I do not mean that a woman per se does not come under the provisions of the Act, but in this case the husband is clearly the person guilty in the eye of the law, and he ought to have been taken. The woman must be discharged. The prisoner seemed quite astonished at her good luck, and the Excise officers retired rather chagrined at the result. LOSS OF LIFE ON THE RIVER THAMES On Saturday morning a feartul accident, involving a serious loss of human lite, occurred on the river Thames, near Battersea-bridge. It appears that a party of five persons, named severally William Day, of No. 7, Garden-row, College- street, Chelsea ; Mary Eytes, a single woman, of Queen-street ; George Cox, a Chelsea pensioner, who resided near the college ; Jane Ingram, who lived in the same neighbourhood ; and a youth named Charles Foke, living near Battersea-bridge, had been out to a party celebrating the grand regatta, in which one of their friends had won a prize. It was proposed that the five persons before alikided to should take a boat and have a row on the water. Accordingly, the whole party got into a small sailing boat, sufficiently capacious to carry with safety from two to three persons. Whilst they were getting along the shore to the vessel, the young woman Ingram slipped down into the mud and dirtied her dress. As soon as the party had taken their seats in the frail craft, the young woman just spoken of got up with the intention of washing the mud off her gown. She had scarcely done so when the boat canted on one side, and in an instant the whole of the five persons were precipitated into the river. Their cries for assistance were truly distressing, and at that early hour of the morning, it is hardly necessary to state, but tew persons were to be found up. With the assistance of the police on the beat, however, several of the neighbours and watermen were brought to the spot; and it is but right to say that every man exerted himself to the utmost to save as many lives as possible. Foke was rescued, and with the assistance of Mr. Davies, a coal-merchant, and a person named John Bull, the life of Jane Ingram was saved, but unfortunately Mary Eyles, who was seen clinging to Day and Cox, Rept her hold of them so tight that they were unable to do any thing to effect their escape, and all three sank together. Mr. Jackson, the landlord of the Adam and Eve public honse, had the drags brought out, and the spot where the accident occurred was searched, but without effect, for the whole three had disappeared. The search, how ever, was continued throughout yesterday (Sunday), and about three o'clock the body of Cox was found, and it was taken to St. Margaret's dead-house, in which dis trict it was found; but neither of the other two bodies had been found at seven o'clock last evening. THE GREAT BRITAIN. On Wednesday, contrary to general expectation, no effort was made to raise the ship. This, we learned, was in consequence of the wedges and shores, intended to assist in keeping her up, not being sufficiently prepared. The disappointment was great to immense numbers of the gentry, who, in private carriages, gigs, cars, and other vehicles, crowded the beach during the early part of the day. In one carriage we observed Lord Edwin Hill, who was accompanied by the major part of the grand jury of the county. At low water we witnessed the preparatory operations, which consisted of about twenty solid wedges pointed close to the ship, about ten feet long, two feet wide, and at the butt-end about three feet high, and securing them for heaving under with tackles. About twenty stout beech tree trunks, appa rently ten or twelve feet long, and more than a foot through, which leaned against the ship, their heels rest ing on shoots or slides, resting on short piles, driven into the solid rock, through the sand, their heads leading against the ship's sides, under large clumps of wood, bolted to the ship; at their heels were tackles, the pur chase-blocks being next to the ship, fast to the shoots. The rope was then led up to the ship's gunwale, and there passed through blocks; and to the end of each was sus pended a large quantity of iron, so that as the ship rose, this self acting pendulum was intended to bring the heels eloac co the ship, and there, of course, to act as shores. The lever-purchases and their t ulcra we have be fore described. We found that they had been added too. On Thursday morning we were fortunate enough to get on board, in our public capacity, and took notes of the pro ceedings. At nine o'clock the ship began to move, the sign of which we soon learned by the grinding of the chains over the rollers as the boxes descended. At halt past nine she had risen exactly a foot, when the tide only had risen 10 feet. We heard Captain Claxton express his opinion to Mr. Bremner that she would rise with and equal to the tide, as she was nearly tight. The result, titer a consultation, was an order to cease pumping. At 45 minutes past nine she had risen half a foot more, and Captain Claxton ordered the valve to be opened, which we learned meant to let water into the ship. At ten she was up two feet, and the tide had risen to 12 feet. More means were ordered to be put in practice to let more water in, some of the wedges having floated up. At half-past ten she appeared to stop rising. The tide, however, still rose. At 45 minutes past ten she remained stationary, at a rise of two and a half feet, and orders were given to shut the valves and let no more water in. After twelve the tide turned, and by one had fallen two feet, during which process some awful crashes took place as the boxes were pulled open. We forgot to mention that, when at her highest, a large quantity of stones, previously prepared, and ready on deck, were shot under her, being dropped on shoots ingeniously contrived. Our own boat, and several others, were hired by Captain Claxton, who went on shore with a strong body of labourers, and speedily returned with loads of stones, which were discharged under the outside bilge.—Newry Telegraph. On Friday last, his Highness Prince Czernischeff, cousin to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, honoured the Royal Polytechnic Institution with a visit, and after inspecting the numerous works of mechanism and art, sat for his portrait to Mr. Beard. Prince Louis Napoleon also visited the establishment, and honoured Mr. Beard by a sitting. On Saturday, the gallant Sir Harry Smith had his portrait taken by Mr Beard, after viewing the wonders of nature and art contained in the museum of the establishment. The greatest number of boys ever entered at Eton School was enrolled last year, when the nutnher was 777; but this year there is a decrease of 68, the official list containing the names of only 709. This great diminu tion has been attributed by some persons to the abolition of the Eton Montem. _ VENERABLE CONSISTENCY.—At the No. 1 Booth for St. Augustine's, Arthur Palmer, Esq., of Park row, attended before eight o'clock, and at that hour requested to be permitted to vote the " first in the city" a plumper for Berkeley, in this the 93d year of his age.

The price obtainable since that period was at one time about 80s. per sack, which was refused, as the party wanted from 84s. to 86s. per sack. The markets are now considerably reduced, and he long-stored flour is much damaged ; some of it, we hear, not being worth more than 30s. per sack, and it is thought there will be a sacrifice of from 8001. to 1,0001.

FLOGGING IN A COLLEGE.—The following commu nication having been forwarded to us by a gentleman well known to us, who has expressed his willingness to vouch for the truth of its statements by giving his Halle and address, we have no alternative but to publish his communication. It will be seen at once that the co logt referred to is Stonyhurit:—" We have learned with sur• prise that the practice of flogging is carried on in a colleg, not far from this town, with a severity that calls loudl 3 , for reprobation. No fewer than six youths were verN recently subjected to this degrading punishment in onf day. One of the youths has preserved his blood stainer inen to exhibit to his parents. Another touk refuge in the house of a gentleman in this neighbourhood, having found an opportunity to escape from his tormentors. It is not the rod, but the cat, to which we allude; nor are those subjected to the lash children, but youths, verging on manhood."--Presto; Chronicle. COURT CIRCULAR.
