ENING EDITION'. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, MANCHESTER-FRIDAY EVENING. The business transacted since our observations of Tues day has been chiefly on the Aintree events ; 7 to 4 was Harkaway's price, and the same Charles's the night be fore the race, which was won, in torrents ,of rain, with the greatest ease by Gallipot. The Mostyn Stakes and the Newmarket Two-year-old spins will, no doubt, be brought forward as soon as the parties return from Liverpool, where 6 to 4 is offered against the Marquis of Westminster for the first-named race ; 5 to 1 on the field, and 6 to 1 freely taken on Thursday night against Spring-heeled Jack.

Arctic made the running, followed at first by Colchicum, and afterwards by Clarion, St. Bennet, and one or two el the others well up to the stable turn, where St. Bennett fell off, and half way between it and the bridge Arctic resigned the lead to Clarion, who kept it to the distance, where he was joined by Ernest the First Cruiskoen, with Meesmate in waiting. The finish seemed doubtful till they reached the stand ; here, how ever, the tar went up to his horses, and won cleverly by a length, Cruiskeen and Ernest the First making a dead hcat for second place.

A set of laws, based on those introduced at the Warwick were drawn up fur the guidance of the clerk of the course, trainers and jockeys of the t,b•rve meeting. They were twelve in number, and provided penalties for the fol loA log cfrentics : —lO/ for withdraw ing a horse after weigh ing the jockey ; al for not walking and cantering the Lorne once ptst the grand stand before going to the post to start ; 31. on each jockey who disobeyed the commands of the starter; on the trainer for any neglect in giving in the proper colour, and the same on the clerk of the course tor neglecting to have them properly printed is the cards ; and los. on the clerk of the course for every minute luebind time in ringing the bell for saddling, &c. I; was also decreed that the fir.t order to "go" and drop prig rite fl.g should be the start. These rules were stricily enforced, a fine of 71. 10s. having been inflicted on the clerk of the course for being fifteen minutes after the tune on Wednesday (being 10s. fur each nimute), :21. on Daw,on for running BuFbrtnger in the wrong colours, and 11. each on the trainers of Charles the Twelfth, and Poly:l°ms for not saddling within the enclosure.

The course was well attended, although the recent rains had caused the ground to be damp, and the course deep and heavy. Their 16yal Highnesses the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours honoured the races with their pre sence, attended by their respective suites. The sport of the day produced little or no interest, the betting was fiat, the horses started at half-past one, and the running came oT as follows: T.c Principal Prize of 4,500 f., twice round (heats), for horses four yrs old and upwards.

POItTSIIVUTIi, Sept. 2-G.—The Queen, 110, will be commissioned on the Ist of October by Captain Mon tagu, as the flag-ship in this harbour ; and the Bri !annia, I'2o, will be commissioned the same day by Captain Drake, as the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Sir J. A. Ommanney, for service in the Mediterranean. The North Star,.•?S, is not considered worth repair ; most probably the Belvidera will be commissioned in stead of her. The Donegal's crew were paid wages on 'Monday, and had fourteen days' leave, previous to joining the Bri tannia. The North Star's crew will have similar pay ment and leave, as will also the few men of the Fair Rosamond ; and on their return they will be considered as liable to general service. The Medea will convey from Chatham to Gibraltar three officers and 102 men of the 33d R eg i men t, with women and children. On her arrival here she will embark Marine Artillery in lieu of the Marines now us board. The Carron steam-vessel will tow the Vengeance, 84, to this port from Plymouth. The Than steamer, with 136 marines from Chatham, for enibatkatio n in the Queen, 110, arrived yesterday. They have been quartered in barraks, there to remain till the tat inst. The Alban proceeded this afternoon to Plymouth with supernumeraries for the Calcutta and Southampton, and from thence she goes to Pembroke, from which place she conveys the 45th Regiment to The Ferret, 10, has been Co oom rk missio ne d at D evonport. on board, u tl i. i i e de l r i t t h b e , The Rodney sailed f rom with one-half of the 19th Regimenttr command of Major Hudson.

The Medea, Salamander, Comet. and Vesuvius teatners of war, hourly expected from Woolwich, arc to be sent on without loss of time for the Mediterranean. The London, 92, and a large man-of-war steamer will he launched from Chatham Dockyard at two o'clock on Monday next. In Harbour—Britannia, Victory, Donegal, Excellent, Royal Georv, North Star, Fair Rosamond, Alban, and Echo steamers. 0 . ,r- Sund ay t h e S tag , revenu e crui-er, fell in with a flit os :°:on1 stone-vessel, n W nineteen miles S.S. n . of Dun- NVANige x ikta l 2 had in tow for twenty hours, wtien , ,o , 3 ft 6firtil ,;• gale she parted, and doubtless drove < ,,, ,e ~. ~!... - - . 144,4 1 1,„ or "" 1 31 , 1• She was bottomless.

IV, could also wish to see an immediate admission o: 3,00 C. apprentices to the service, stout lads of fourteei years of age ; three-fourths of them would never quit it, and the Unions of England would gladly clothe them for three years. In addition to those workmen before employed in ex pediting the fitting of the Indus, the smiths are now engaged from six to six, in obedience to an order re ceived from the Admiralty on Tuesday last, which was carried into execution on Wednesday.

In the Sound—South ampton and Cygnet. THE MUSICAL FESTUAL. BIRMINGHAM, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—The finale of the festival—the fancy ball—which was to astonish the natives and turn over the climax to Terpsichore, took place on Friday right. There were about six hun dred persons present, principally consisting of town's people and the gentry of the neighbourhood, with a small sprinkling of the aristocracy. The ball was brilliant, and did not break up until day had begun to break also, and for some hours afterwards there were " episodes of enjoyment" pursued by some young gentlemen who had probably never masqueraded in fancy dresses before. Thus ended the gaiety of one of the most splendid festivals that ever entranced the musical spirits of Bir mingham, and drew eager and admiring visitors from every corner of the empire. The charity, it would ap pear, has been highly benefited, and the receipts of the four days amount to more than eleven thousand pounds. The Society of Arts has been kept open during the festival. Y,sterday morning there was held a sort of fancy ba• zaar for the benefit of a deaf and dumb school or asylum, which, in spite of wet weather, attracted hosts of visi tors and Fratrous. In the evening the theatre was opened with new attraction, the manager having en gaged Dorus Gras, Braham, Phillips, and F. Lablache to sing upon the occasion. Every seat was taken, and tickets were at a premium. The house was crowded to the ceiling. The performances were The Quaker, a miscellaneous concert, and Try Waterman, and they went off with great spirit and eclat. Dorus Gras goes to Worceste-, Cheltenham, an•! Bath, before proceeding to Hull. Phillips has also provincial engagements to occupy him for three weeks. Miss Birch, Miss Hawes, Bennett, Mr. Pearsall, and some other vocalists, attend a sort of semi-l'estival at Skidhold upon the opening of an organ. NIONE MARKET and CITY NEW S• (SATURDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—The letter from Senor Rosales to the chairman of tae South American bondholders has produced a rise in Chili stock, which is quoted to-day at 45 to 50. In this communication Senor Rosales states that 12,000/. and upwards hail actually arrived by the Fly, and that bills of lading for other 12,0001. bad been received by a commercial house in London, shipped on account of the Chilian Government. When both these sums are realised, he expeets that further remittance will speedily come to hand to make up a half dividend, the payment of which he will then make without delay agreeably to the or ders of his Government. The ardour which animate,. the Chilian Government tr satisfy its foreign cre ditors, he adds, inspires him with confidence that remittances for the amounts necessary for the payment of the other dividends as they fall due will succeed each other in the most regular manner. This is good. After such a declaration, it would be an excess of in credulity to throw out a doubt against the payment of half dividend due as on the :30th instant, which, on the balance of the original debt unredeemed, amounts to about 28,0001. In 1837 the State of Chili offered, through the agency of Senor Rosales, as terms of com position, three per cent. upon the original bonds, pro vided all claims for the arrears were quashed. In 18:39, through the same agency, Chili advanced her offers to three per cent, upon the original bonds, and three per cent. on 780,000/. of arrears for thirteen years' interest unpaid. The same State, in 1840, now begins to pay six per cent. on the original bonds. We suspect the payment of the arrears of interest is to be made a ground of battle for a last and desperate attempt to prevail upon the bondhelders to take less titan their proper debt. This is extremely mean and ill-judged. The whole debt of Chili, principal and in• terest, is not, we believe, above 1,800,0001., and the ar rears are nearly equal to the balance of the original debt unredeemed. The two put together would be ex tinguished, principal and interest, by a levy of 21. a head on the population, which is not more, we believe, than the people of England pay annually in the shape of taxes to the Government. The annual charge of the Chilian Foreign Debt in round numbers, principal and interest on arrears included, may be stated at 120,000/. ; and it is really pitiful for a country presuming to claim rank as a state at all, to make the arrangement of such a sum the subject of public animadversion. HERALD.—Mr. Charles Hammersley has entered into arrangements with Messrs. Coutts and Co., who have agreed to accommodate the depositors of the late bank ing-house to a certain extent, so that the inconvenience which might have been expected to be felt by the sus pension of payments by the former concern is, to a great extent, done away. The letters of credit which may have been protested will, in the majority of instances, be protected ; so that the result at present will not be so disastrous as was anticipated by many. The accounts from the manufacturing districts ore more favourable, and although they do not reorese,t that a brisk trade is going on, yet, on the whole, ay; are cheering. For the first time, after a long inter e,,', the Americans have appeared in the market as pu - chasers, and several parcels of goods fabricated expressiV for that country, which were supposed to be a dead lc: ter, have been taken off. The business in the woollen trade, which was noticed some day or two since, still continues. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF Tlll3 DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) ( The pertinacious attempts of the Tory Press to prove that Ministers ought, in common decency, to have re , signed their places in consequeace of the events of last Session, are only rivalled in absurdity by the ertrava kiances of the French writers, who thought to console ...their national vanity, writhing under the agonies of de- Ifeat, by demonstrating, that according to all the rules of war the English were beaten at Waterloo, and ought !to have run away. Deep, indeed, must the mortification of the scouts and hangers-on of the Tory camp be, if their baffled appeti:e for place can find any nutriment in such unsubstantial flummery as the Times serves up as at substitute for the solid good things of office, which they fondly imagined were in their grasp. Poor wretches ! vir, ! grudge them not this miserable satisfaction ; on the co ntrary, we almost sympathise with the soreness they fee •1 at the cold-blooded cruelty of our able Contempo rary of the Scotsman, who has reft away even this last rag of consolation, by demonstrating, on the unanswer able authority of facts and history, that according to the :strictest rule and precedent of the palmy days of ihoroughmongering Parliaments and Tory Cabinets, 'Ministers are not only justified, but bound and called troon to retain possession of the reins of Government. l''.'. is amusing to watch the inconsistencies of the Times i 0 its impotent attempt to answer this able article.

If, on the other hand, by standing firm at their posts they can feel the animating consciousness that they are doing their duty, and are the instruments of good ;if in so doing they have the almost unanimous support of the great Liberal party of England—of the independent yeomanry—the intelligent middle classes—the important city constituencies, who have stood by them in so many battles, and to whom they are bound by so many ties ; if they have the favour of their Royal mistress, whom they have pledged their honour not to desert—and if, above all, they feel that their presence at the head of affairs is necessary to save the honoured name of Eng• land from such disasters and humiliations as befel her, when, in 1828 and 1829 the task of watching the com plicated web of Eastern affairs, checking the rival ambi tions of France and Russia, and maintaining the balance of power essential to the peace and welfare of Europe, was entrusted to the pusillanimous and unskilful hands of the very men who now seek to succeed them in office —then we say shame upon them if they shrink, shame upon them if they think for a single moment of aban doning the post where they are bound by every conside ration of duty and honour to remain. (From the Times.) It has often been a question with eminent men whether such institutions as the Royal Academy and the Royal Society have or have not been conducive to the progress of the fine arts, or to that of literature and science in general. In this controversy the greater number of disputants have doubtless been in favour of those privileged bodies ; but it is notorious that many very able observers and reasoners have declared unequivocally against them. One thing is clear, that, as a candidate for admission into such circles must have acquired considerable renown already, must be sufficiently wealthy to pay the attendant expense, and must be supported by a num ber of influential friends, it can scarcely be said that the institutions in question afford much encourage ment to obscure and rising genius. *As tar as regards the patronage they extend to struggling merit, they are much on a par with Lord Chesterfield's Letters in favour of Johnson's Dictionary. They shed their smiles on no man until he is able to purchase and to do without them ; whereas the adventitious distinc tion which the possession of their fellowship involves, not only loses half its value from their indiscriminate admission of opulent drones, but operates as a grievous tax upon the working bees, who, while absolutely de. spising their honours, cannot acquire an accredited status without them. But, whatever may be thought of the utility of these particular institutions, the British Association for the Advancement of Science (if we ex cept the distinguished few whose literary or philosophi cal lionship induces them to court its adulations), must, we think, be held in great contempt by the common sense of the country. Professing a desire to keep itself select, the test of admission which it prescribes is the ability of the candidate, not to advance science, but to pay the entrance fees ; and accordingly, at the recent Glasgow gathering a proposal to lower those fees was rejected by a large majority. The conse quence is, that instead of being restricted to persons of scientific pursuits, it consists, with comparatively few exceptions, of a promiscuous omnigatheruni, who can afford to undertake a summer excursion in the hope of getting an ample return in the form of pro menades, parties, soirees, dinners, balls, and of en joying the sports of what may fairly be termed " the race week of philosophy." Their recent jaunt to Ardrossan has been one of the most ludicrous affairs imaginable. " Some by land and others by sea, such a getting down the Clyde we never did see." Care having been taken that the Duke of Hamilton's hospi tality should on that day contribute to the advancement of science, the eteamers which started early from the Broomielaw were crowded to suffocation. The sucking Werncis were all agog with their specimen -boxes, ham mers, and sandwich wallets. Never before were mica, slate, limestone, transition rocks, alluvial deposits, and secondary formations, threatened with such a hammer ing in this mortal world : and, as there was a ducal lunch in anticipation, as well as a convivial meeting of the culinary and bibacious sections in the evening, the needful means of whetting their stomachs for other materials than stones were, of course, not overlooked. HuAreds of ponies were to be provided by the neighbouring farmers, in order that the learned vi sitors might have the benefit of a little gentle exer cise without encountering too much fatigue. Oil went the cavalcade in search of minerals and appe tites. In truth, it was the greatest philosophical trot that has occurred in modern times, reminding us of Chaucer's pilgrimage to Canterbury, wherein squires, priests, leeches, maidens, pages, pedlars, end grooms, were all mounted in one picturesque train—a blended incarnation of falconry, theology, medicine, gallantry, merchandise. and iaatiarslaip—eacit group striving, tO manage their prancer,s,as if the: admiriag.eyes•of.the whole world were fastened exclusively upon them. selves. To what extent this ridiculous foolgry wilt contribute to the advancement of science, remains of course to be seen. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We have not yet forgotten the forced acquiescence of the Tories last Session in the Canada Government 13il1. Unable to devise or take upon themselves the respon sibility of another measure, thee were fain, notwith standing the attempt of Lord Hardwicke, and the open hostility of the Duke of Wellington, to follow Sir Robert Peel's example, and silence the opposition of their adherents. It does not foilow, although they lured not hint a fault, or hesitate dislike, or even nuzard a few calumnies in Parliament, where some re sponsibility would attach to their utterance, that, there- i fore, the Tories should not out of doors endeavour to raise as hideous a clamour against the Ministerial measure as they have done against the Poor-law Bid. To assent to a measure inside the walls of Parliament, and to attack it with all the weapons of envenomed hostility and misrepresentation outside, is quite in the order of Tory political morality. Accordingly, we find that every encouragement is given to the Cana dian malcontents to thwart and oppose the working of the Bill for the union of the two provinces, and to cast in the way of the Governor, in his already sufficiently difficult task, the impediments of faction and interested intrigue. The petition of a certain body of Canadians adverse to the tranquillity of the province, has been seized with avidity by the Times, as a spark capable of being blown into a conflagration. It deals in all manner of assertions respecting the future operation of the Act, foreboding its utter failure before the experiment has well commenced, and in the teeth of every testimony which has been offered of the auspicious pacification already commenced under pledge of the new constitution, pro phecies its utter unfitness for the society to which it is to be adapted. We shall not enter into an examina tion of the soundness of the petitioners' prognostics, although vouched by the 'limes, simply remarking that any departure from the principle of constitutional Go vernment, now accorded as the right of the Canadians, would be viewed as a convincing proof of the hollowness and insincerity of our professions, and be very apt to produce that state of things which the Tories, it would seem, would not be very sorry to see. If the great ex ' periment is to succeed at all, it must succeed by a generous oblivion of the past—by an entire confidence • in those to whom the power of self-government is to be conceded, and by a real and bona fide carrying out of the principle of elective and constitutional Govern ment, exactly as we have found it to be the best policy in the working of the Catholic Emancipation Act. (From the Morning Herald.) The letter addressed by the solicitors of the Earl of Cardigan to the Press, a copy of which we published on Saturday, requires at our hands a few observations. When we are told that the silence of Lord Cardigan, as to certain allegations made against him, is entirely owing to the orders of the army forbidding any communication between officers on toll pay and the Public Press, we cannot help asking, how happens it that Captain Jones, in the memorable affair of the " black bottle," has not conformed to that order? Is not Captain Jones en officer on full pay ? and has ha not addressed a letter to the Public Press to correct, what he calls, " a very material inaccuracy" in the published statement of the message delivered by him as President of the Mess Com mittee from Lord Cardigan to Capt. J. A. Reynolds? Thus does he not, in the following terms, correct that " material inaccuracy"—" The Earl of Cardigan never authorised me to use the words pot-house dinner ; nor did I make use of them to Capt. Reynolds—tavern dinner were the words used both by his Lordship and myself." Now if this inaccuracy has been corrected by an officer on full pay communicating with the public press, why , might not other " inaccuracies " or " misrepresentations" be corrected in the same manner ? We have not heard that Captain Jones is to be brought to a court-martial for disobeying any order prohibiting communication with the public press, If, however, a court-martial, as required, had been granted to Captain J. NV. Rey- , nolds, the press, as far as we are concerned, would have abstained from all commentary, as in the case of another Captain Reynolds now under judicial investiga- tion at Brighton. In our opinion Lord Hill would have acted the part of a true friend to Lord Cardigan, if he hail hinted to him that the affair of the " black bottle" was not, in any view of it, calculated to raise very high the public opinion of a commanding othi cer's wisdom, and the more quietly and amicably it terminated the better.

Toe Times has been wont, to reproach the Radicals with their poverty. " Unwashed artisans," is a phrase proverbial by fre teo"t'ehonsecarilY t ' eforaters who are o g l ue e n o t n u te se m i p n t %ivtisiiecloiluhmasnbs engaged in daily labour. " Hungry Radicals" is another of the appellatives by which the labouring classes who do not belong to the " Conservative Operative Asso ciations" are reproached. The " unwashed," " hungry Radicals" of Manchester are—in perfect consistency with the coarse, unfeeling, insulting reproaches cast by the Tories on their poverty—now courted to aid the party which bas poured upon them every contumely, and inflicted upon them every personal and relative in jury, by the: hope of " a good dinner I" An appeal is made to their stomachs, rather than to their heads ; and a " mess of pottage" is by its delicious fumes ex pected to produce a perfect oblivion of both associations and antipathies. " On the 16th of the present month the Conservative Association of that important district assembled to cele brate their anniversary ; and they did so to the number of more than 500 of the most influential men in the division, noblemen and gentlemen, clergy and yeomanry, tradesmen, and other s ubstantial and respectable persons, and in a manner which we are aware is very obnoxious to the Libe rals, but of which we suspect the fashion will not readily be abolished—that is to say, by a good dinner. It is a practice, indeed, which we should b e d e li g h te d t o s e e ex tending itself to the Liberals thems e l ves ; no t on ly because we like to see our neighbours happy, whatever their poli tics, but also because we have a shrewd notion that if they dined more they would be less liberal. On this occasion the C o nservatives—albeit their lot is not at present cast among the loaves and fishes —gave a hearty example to the surly Radicals of the sort of stomach with which good poli ticians should encounter the Whigs." The sordid argument addressed to the physical, is sought to be enforced by a string of misrepresentations and sophistries addressed to the moral part of Radical humanity. It is generally known that foolish and alto gether unfounded jealousies are apt to prevail on the part of the Radicals, respecting the proceedings of the Com mittees which are formed by the Liberals to watch over and arrange the numerous matters relating to their poli tical position. The Tories are, as is also known, con tinually employed in producing and fomenting these jealousies. Every effort is used to represent such Committees as interested— se lfi s h—di cta t or i a l ; and to exaggerate any momentary dissension io, or any occasional defection from the Liberal ranks, through any of the various means employed to produce such results. In the present case, the tempter has not had the adroitness to conceal the cloven foot, but puts forth a lie foul as his own base nature. Mr. Cobden, a respectable and consistent Liberal, was asked by the Liberal Association of Manchester, whether, in the event of a vacancy in the Parliamentary representation of that borough, he would allow himself to be put in nomination as the Liberal candidate ? To this Mr. Cobden replied, with perfect consistency and character istic independence—that unless his political opinions were approved of by the majority of the electors, he would not appeal to the constituency. As a perfectly independent man, Mr. Cobden refuses to go to Parlia ment, " for the mere purpose of keeping the Whigs in and the Tories. out of office." On this slender basis the Times raises a superstructure of false assumptions and unwarrantable hopes ; and asserts that a breach has taken place between the Liberals and the Radicals with respect to a candidate, and that this disunion will let in Sir George Murray. So much for Conservative co quetry with the Manchester Radicals! (From the Standard.) The conduct of the Paris Press for the last two or three months has been such as to merit little delicacy or forbearance from any, least of all from us, who find the respectability of our profession, and its character for intelligence and honesty, seriously compromised by the practices of our French brethren. This is a quar rel superadded to our sense of the national insult and injustice, and it is no trifling one. Do what we will, men will think that the Press is the same everywhere : and that it is due to same latent circumstances that the Journals of London are not as manifestly vile and stupid at present as the Press of Paris. When we say the Press of Paris, we do not desire to be understood as making any exception. It is, then, on every account our duty and our interest, to expose to the French people the blindness, the malignity, and the sordid dishonesty of those who would kindle a war between the two countries ; and the more sincerely desirous we are of cultivating the friendship and goodwill of our neighbours of France, the more will this be a labour of love. The observations that have been respectfully offered from this side of the Channel upon the projected fortification of Paris, and upon the necessary tendency of the social elements in France, if put in motion by a war, to produce, first anarchy, and then settle into des potism—these respectful and just observations have necessarily arrested the attention of most of the Jour nals of the French capital. The Paris editors, of course, denounce the suggestions from England as in sulting. This was to be expected ; men eager to foment a quarrel would be very slow to admit that the parties upon whom they wish to fasten the blame of it have taken, though with some sacrifice of the argu ment, that course which seems least likely to wound the self-love of the friends with whom they remonstrate ; for questionless it is taking this line, to remind the French` .p . eopfe . iather of: the dingers they may incur from themselves, is the expe rience of no very remote period d,monstrates, than of ithe humiliation that their rashness may challenge from the enemies whom they are urged to provoke. To this last class of dangers, however, our attention is forced by the reply of the Paris firebrands to our remarks upon the other. These firebrands tell us that we threaten France with anarchy and slavery from within, because we have nothing else with which to menace her. This calls tar an explanation, i! we would not have a fatal error imposed upon the French people—let us give this explanation respectfully and in goodwill. We admix, the gallantry of the French nation, its admirable apti tude to military service, which renders French troops perhaps the best campaign troops in the world, and se cond only to British troops in the field of battle. W e admit, too, the zealous patriotism of the French people, which will cause them to make the last sacrifices in support of the national honour. These admissions arc, however, by no means inconsistent with the conviction that France is in no state to undertake the war to which her incendiary press would summon her. (From the Courier.) In the Courier of Thursday we alluded, " more in sorrow than in anger," to the unjust impression that was sought to be produced on the public mind regarding the peculiar peril of railway travelling. We knew how prone a large section of the community are to magnify danger, especially while labouring under the excite ment which the recent lamentable accidents on the Eastern Counties Railway had created, and we saw that advantage had been taken of that excitement for the purpose of alarming the minds of the timid, and of fill ing them with feelings of uneasiness and insecurity on the subject of railway locomotion. This we then cha racterised as manifestly unfair, and for this very pal pable and coger.t reason, that upon a comparison of the amount of traffic and the number of travellers by railways and by stage coaches, the proportion of accidents on the former was strikingly less than on the latter. But while the most unscrupu lous efforts were made to exaggerate the num ber and frightful nature of the one class, the other was passed over in prudent silence. Now we hero throw out a fair challenge to the opponents of railways—or to those who fancy that stage coaches present a safer mode of conveyance. Let them select any period of time they may, and keep an accurate record of all the rail way accidents occuiing within that prescribed period— we will undertake a similar duty with regard to coach accidents—and we pledge ourselves to prove, by a comp ar i son of the results arrived at, the great su periority o f t h e f orme r over the latter, even in point of s ecurity. By this fair and impartial tes t we are pre pared t o a bid e, an d care not w h a t definite period of time p ast , passing or future, be fixed upon for making the experiment, being fully satisfied that it would termi nate in a verdict in favour of railroads, and against stage coaches, on the only point in which it is possible to in titute a comparison between them. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES,--.OG Saturday, Mr. Childe, the inspector of weights and measures, introduced another batch of fraudulent tradesmen to this Court, which was specially convened to hear the cases. Mr. Wilson and five other Magistrates presided. Thomas Walker, butcher, was summoned under the Following circumstances : Mr. Turner, the witness, said that on Saturday night he entered defendant's shop. He found on defendant's weighing machine a hook, weighing three quarters of an ounce. A solicitor said that the defendant had died since the alleged offence, and the information was therefore dis missed. Henry Haslain, confectioner, of No. 32, Gosweil street-road, was charged with having in his possession one weighing machine of unjust balance. Mr. Turner said that a small piece of chain was at tached to defendant's beam. Defendant's defence was, that, in selling farthing worths and halfpennyworths of lollypops, he was oblige to give a draught. Mr. WILSON observed that he considered the case as bad as any other, for, according to defendant's own showing, be was committing a fraud on his young cus tomers.—He was adjudged to pay ss. William Henry Gee, 188, Whitecross-street, potatoe merchant, was accused of a similar offence. Mr. Turner deposed that on searching defendant's coal and potatoe shed, he discovered three scales of a most unjust balance. The persons who dealt with the defendant were very poor, often purchasing pennyworths of coal. Mr. KNIGHT said this was a most abominable case, and he considered a heavy penalty ought to be imposed. The other Magistrates concurred ; and, after severely lecturing the defendant, fined him 4/. John Greensdale, 214, Whitecross-street, potatoe dealer, was next heard on his summons. Mr. Turner proved that a piece of lead, weighing two ounces and a half, was affixed to defendant's scale. Fined 20s. and costs. John Bisiker, butcher, Brick-lane, Bethnal-green, was charged with the following fraud. Mr. Turner stated that he found a small " Jerry " hanging on defendant's weighing-machine. Ordered to pay 20s. Fanny Sully, 21, Northampton-street, potato-dealer, was next heard. Mr. Turner informed the Court that defendant was selling l4oz. for a pound when he made the detection. She was ordered to pay 20s. James Young, 13, Frog-lane, Islington, coal-dealer, was charged with having a false balance of one pound on his weighing machine. Mr. Wl'sox considered this another most infamous case, and a fine of 30s. was imposed. George clothier, another Goal and potatoe-t!ealer, living in York -street, Pentonville, was the next charged. Mr. Turner stated that he found a piece of iron on defendant's coal-machine. It weighed five pounds and a half. Mr. KNIGHT—This I consider a case for the highest penalty. Mr: WILSON—If I thought he could pay it, he should; but, as I am doubtful, 1 suggest that we fine him only 4L After some further observations, the defendant was ordered to pay the latter sum. Henry Jones, a marine-store-dealer, residing at Bat tle-bridge, was summoned for having in his house two tvcights, the same being considerably heavier than what they purported to be. These appeared to be used by defendant in making his purchases. They were on his counter. Dwfcndant called a witness to prove that he had sold the weights to him (the accused) as old iron. He, however, prevaricated so much that the Magistrate would not believe him, and fined the defendant 40s. Cornelius Ryan, No. 42, Tash-street, Gray's-inn lane, was charged with having a coal-machine of a false balance 21b. and a half. Mr. Childe mentioned to the Court that the defend. ant was fined 40s. a short time back for a like fraud. Mr. WHISKIN—What caused the false balance? Mr. Turner handed to the Court a piece of lead. Mr. Wittsxm—This is the metal of a pewter pot belonging to some publican I'll be bound. To defen dant—Who melted down the pot ? Defendant—l did. Mr. WHlSKlN—Perhaps you'll tell us who stole it ? —( Laughter.) Defendant made no reply. Mr. WIIISKIZkI—This is the way publicans are plun dered. I knew at first sight that it was the remains of a publican's pot. The Count. told defendant that they considered him incorrigible, and fined him 80s. Frederick Winder, eating-house-keeper, No. 11, Gray's-inn-lane, was charged with obstructing Mr. Childe in the execution of his duty, and fined 40s. Joseph Grice, coal and potatoe dealer in GrPy's-inn- lane, was charged with having a seven-pound weight , . one ounce light, which was caused by the ring being off. Ali his other weights, nineteen in number, and three sets or scales, were perfectly correct. _ _ The Magistrates, atter consulting, said they were convinced that defendant had not contemplated fraud, but the law was imperative (.n them to convict, which they would in the lowest penalty—namely, ss. Thomas Millin, grocer, in Baldwin -street, was corn plaived of for the following fraud :—Mr. Turner stated that on entering defendant's shop he found one weight, used as a halt pound, in a tea and sugar scale, and on examining it Iv. discovered that it was deficient that quantity 15 drachms ; there was also a draught of a quarter of an ounce against the purchaser in the butter seale.—Fined 40s. Willian Bridgeman,of 54, Baldwin-street, coal dealer, WAS charged with having his weighing machine 21b. weight against the purchaser. The offence having been proved, Mr. Childe stated the defendant had been convicted before.—Fined 3/. Henry Morgan, marine-store-dealer in Ray-street, Clerkenwell, was fined in the pena'Ay of 4/. for having in his shop eight weights of an illegal standard. Three of the weights used as seven pounds were each nearly a pound heavier than that quantity. Richard Ashmore, another marine-store-keeper, in Ray -street, Clerkenwell, was fined 10s. for using a false weighing machine. Janes King, of Baldwin's-gardens, coal and potatoe dealer, appeared to answer to the following charge : Mr. Turner said he discovered in defendant's posses sion nine weights of unjust balance as follows :--One seven-pound 2 oz. light ; another ditto 1 oz. heavy ; one two-pound 4 drs. light ; and four one-pound vary ing from 2 to 6 drs. light ; ani two half-pound weights 3 drs. light. Mr. Child stated, that a week before the seizure he cautioned the defendant, telling him to look to the ac curacy of his weights.—Fined 20s. John Barnard, coal-dealer, of 88, St. John-street, was summoned for !laying a . _false balance of half a pound on hisweighing-machine, and ordered to pay 20s. Joseph Thomas, 20, Clerkenwell-close, coal-dealer, was charged under similar circumstances. His machine was false nearly a pourid.—Fined I/ 10s. The Magistrstes said that the thanks of the public were due to Mr. Childe, and they passed a high com pliment on his witness, Mr. Turner, for the clear and satisfactory manner in which he explained the different frauds. London, 13, Holies street, and 27, Marlborough_ buildings, Bath. Baron Browne Mill has great pleasure in being able to say that the Spectacles adapted to his sight by Mr. E. Solomons, some years back, afford him great ease and comfort, enabling him to read and write either by day er candle light. He is happy in his sight being so materially improved, and feels it a duty to recommend them to all persons requiring the aid of Spectacles. BARON BROWNE MILL.—From W. Coulson, Esq. I have examined Mr. E. Solomons' Patent Leases, and they appear to me, from the power of modifying the glare of light,better calculated to persons with weak sight than Spectacles in common use. WILLIAM COULSON, Frederick-place, Old Jewry.— From J. G. Andrews, Esq., Senior Surgeon to the Lon don Hospital. I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the value and importance of Mr. E. Solomons' Patent Spectacles, which materially prevent a too strong glare of light, and will be found more beneficial than plain or coloured glasses in defective vision. J. G. ANDREWS, 4, St. Helen's-place —To Mr. E. Solomons, Optician, No. 1, Old Jewry (City), and 36, Old Bond-street. Mr. E. S.'s Voice Conductors are the most powerful instru ments extant for relieving deafness. They are formed on so small a scale as to be worn quite unperceived. By their use, musical sounds, and the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembly, may be heard with accurate distinctness.—Observe, No. 36, Old Boild-street, and 1, Old Jewry (City). _ _ Of all the branches of the Healing Art, these is none which has arrived at such a degree, of perfection, in our day, as that of Dentistry, or the preservation and resto ration of the human teeth, and the formation and substitu tion of artificial ones;—the latter are now worn by thou. sands of the nobility and gentry, whose appearance is not only improved by them in the most surprising degree; but whose powers of mastication and articulation have been completely restored. This degree of perfection we believe to have been first attained by Mons. Edw. Malian, of Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, during a practice of fifteen years in the British Metropolis ; others may have imitated M. Mellen's manufacture and mode of fixing arti ficial teeth; but, that he has distanced all competitors, the success which has invariably attended him, sufficiently proves. Nor have M. Mallan's exertions been confined to the mere substitution of artificial teeth; he is the sole in ventor of the Mineral Succedaneum for filling decayed teeth, so as to render the carious tooth. which previously is often a mere shell, completely solid, and capable of per forming every purpose of mastication ; and, at the same time, preserving it immoveable in its place, as long as any other tooth in the head. In the matter of this cement, too, has M. Malian been imitated ; but most unsatisfactorily as regards the public : the Parisian dentists, for instance, pour in their cement hot, causing most unnecessary torture to the patient, and doing farther injury to the tooth, in stead of preserving it. M. Malian uses his Mineral Sue cedaneum in an entirely cold state; so that the patient scarcely knows of the operation, until, by touching it with the tongue, he, or she, finds that a carious shell is con verted into a strong, firm, and solid tooth. His Majesty, the King of the French, appreciat Dig Mons. Ed iv. Mallan's great merit in his art, has lately granted him a free patent for the exclusive use of his excellent inventions , throughout ' the whole of his dominions. MEETING OF ALD. ii A it 'S FRIENDS. On Saturday evening, pursuant to notice and adver tisement, a public meeting of the friends of Mr. Ald. Har mer took place at the Ram Inn, Smithfield. for the pur pose of taking into consideration the most efficient mea sures to be adopted, in order to secure the return of that I gentleman to fill the Civic Chair at the ensuing election of Lord Mayor. The• meeting was convened by the members of an old-established Association, held at this, one of the oldest inns in the metropolis, and styled " The Court of Equity," and was most numerously attended. On the motion of Mr. Const, the Secretary of the Court, Mr. Birchfield was unanimously called on to pre side, and, on his taking the Chair, he briefly opened the business of the evening by making a few remarks expla natory of the nature of the meeting. Mr. Const having read the advertisement calling the meeting, Mr. Edward Gregory, in a brief speech. moved the first resolution— " That this Meeting views with indignation and dis gust the malignant and unjustifiable attack made by the Times newspaper against the return of Mr. Alderman Harmer •as Lord Mayor for the year ensuing." Mr. Clifford seconded the motion. The Chairman then sub mitted the resolution for the approval of the meeting, which was carried nests. con. Mr. Const then rose and said, that he was sure the members of this Society from their long personal knowledge of the excellentconduct of Alderman Harmer, both in his public and private cha racter (which even his opponents were very reluctantly compelled to admit), would use the most energetic exer tions to secure that gentleman's return as Lord Mayor, convinced that in doing so they would best consult the interest of the City of London by placing as its Chief Magistrate a man who, in ability, integrity, and public principle, was not exceeded by any man in the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Const having moved a resolution em bracing the principal points of his speech, Mr. Surridge seconded the resolution, which was carried without dis• sent. Mr. Surridge promised his best exertions to se cure the return of Alderman Harmer. Mr. Bennett proposed " That a Committee of seven be now appointed by this meeting, to co-operate and correspond with the Central Committee, and that the said Committee (with power to add to their number) do, on Monday next, proceed to canvass this and the adjoining districts, for the purpose of fully carrying out the above resolutions. Mr. Kirk seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. The following gentlemen were then ap pointed a Committee :—Thomas Burchfield, Esq. ; William Williams, Esq. ; William Surridge, Esq. ; William Bennett, Esq. ; William Kirk, Esq. ; and Isaac Wall, Esq-, Churchwarden of St. Sepulchre, London. Mr. Gregory then proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, for the very able and impartial mariner in which he had fulfilled the arduous duties of President. Mr. Burchfield, in an appropriate speech, briefly ac knowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. At a meeting of the friends of Alderman Harmer, being Freemasons, held at Radley's Hotel, Bridge street, Blackfriars, on Saturday night, Brother John King in the chair, the following resolution was una nimously adopted :—" That Alderman Harmer, being an honourable and distinguished brother in the craft P.G.D., and P.M. No. 1, being next in rotation to fill the office of Lord Mayor of the City of London, and having previously filled the other civic offices with honour to himself and great benefit to the community, without the least charge against him, deserves the sup port of every brother, not on any political or polemical ground, which is foreign to the Masonic constitution, but solely on the grounds of the way in which he has conducted himself as a Mason—his extreme benevo lence, his high integrity, and his valuable services to the craft." THE TIMES AND MI. JOHN JO- SEPH STOCKDALE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Mr. EDITOR,—AIIow me, in acknowledgment of your paragraph, in Saturday's Paper, headed as above, to inform you that the Times, Morning Post, and Morning Herald, under Conservative and Clerical in fluence and hire, have all conspired (I know their insti gators) to suppress me, as well as my efforts. God willing, I shall (without BRIBE) take your ad vice, and attend the Common-hall, for GOD and my COUNTRY and tell the Truth, the WHOLE TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTH ; though as to marching through Covent , y with such a regiment, " I won't"—" that's flat." 1 signed the declaration against Alderman Har mer under PROTEST, as nearly as I can recollect, thus : Less, for the reasons, hereto prefixed, than because he blasphemously asserted in the Dispatch, and refused to explain, deny, or qualify it, though repeatedly re quested, that JESUS CHRIST is the man who stole the ass." JOHN JOSEPH STOCKDALE. Gloucester-gate, Regent's-park, 27th Sept., 1840. The Dispatch of yesterday gave the following account of this charge brought against it :—" When the trial at Monmouth of the Newport rioters was going on, it was proved in evidence that a picture of our Saviour was found in the house of Zephaniah Williams, under neath which was written, " The Man who stole the Ass." If our recollection serve us, the identical passage was copied from the Times, at any rate, it was extracted from one of the Morning Journals, without note or com ment. We have thought it right to render an explana tion to so revolting a charge." SAVING OF CREW AND CARGO. The Duchess of Kent steamer, so well known on the London and Ramsgate station, was on Saturday night and yesterday morning the means of saving the cargo, if not the crew, of the Ostendien, a Dutch East India man. This vessel, upwards of 700 tons burthen, got upon the South Sand on Saturday, about one a.m., and as soon as her perilous condition became known, boats were put off from Deal to render her assistance. Their efforts, however, were as unavailing as those of the Boxer Government steamer, then lying in Ramsgate harbour, which was next put in requisition, but totally failed, the Ostendien dragging the steamer, instead of being dragged by her. The Duchess of Kent, Captain Jones, fortunately arrived at Ramsgate at this crisis, and immediately proceeded to the assistance of the unfortunate vessel, which she soon relieved from her dangerous situation, and anchored with her safely in the Downs. Owing to the darkness of the night, the torrents of rain which fell at the time, accom panied by strong and unceasing gusts of wind, and the narrowness of the mouth of the harbour, both vessels remained in the Downs during the night ; but, at an early hour yesterday morning the Duchess of Kent having returned to Ramsgate, and having again taken the Ostendien in tow, brought her safely into Rams gate harbour. The morning was fine, and the pier was thronged with spectators. The Ostendien is not very seriously damaged ; but as she had four or five feet water in her hold soon after she struck, there can be no doubt that she would have become a total wreck, and her crew in all probability lost, but for the opportune arrival of the Duchess of Kent. She has on board a I valuable cargo from Java. The Duchess of Kent was to have left Ramsgate yesterday at eleven o'clock, but in consequence of the delay necessarily occasioned by her towing in the Os tendien, she did not start till a quarter past twelve, when she left the harbour just at high water, and having both wind and tide against her, she did not reach London-bridge till past eight o'clock in the evening. She bad nearly passed through Limehouse reach when an accident occurred on the river, which again made her the instrument of saving human life. A Greenwich steamer was passing rapidly down the river, when it was observed by the mate and the pas sengers at the stern of the Duchess of Kent that a small wherry was ahead of the Greenwich boat, and in imminent danger of being run down. The mate in stantly shouted eut " Hands aft," and in ac incredibly short space of time, the boat of the Duchess of Kent, with three or four hands on board, was on its way to wards the place where the wherry had been seen. It was by this time quite dark, and as those on board the Greenwich steamer either did not see, or could not avoid the wherry, it was struck by the vessel, and one of the two youths who were in it was thrown over board by the shock, and must inevitably have perished, hut for the Duchess of Kent's haat, which reached him just in time to save his life, and brought him and his companion on board, where they were taken into the engine -room, and every necessary attention paid to them. It appeared that the two youths, neither of them more than 17 or 18 years of age, had hired the wherry at Hungerford-stairs in the morning for an excursion to Greenwich, where they stayed till dusk, and were on their return to town when the accident happened. When the alarm was given that a wherry was likely to be run down, a gentleman ran aft, with the intention of getting into the boat, and going to the relief of the unfortunate occupants of the wherry. He was too late, however, for the boat of the Duchess of Kent had already put off ; but he gave the crew a guinea for their activity and promptitude. A FRENCH SUICIDE.—" A few days ago," says the Constitutionnel, " some journ e ymen bakers were reproaching one of their companions, a man named Beran. gere, with his propensity for drinking, and telling him that with such courses he would end his days in an hospital. You are wrong,' said Bcrangere, showing six francs five sous, wrapped up in paper, one can die when one pleases whilst such a sum remains.' On Sunday he pureha.ed a pistol and some powder and balls with his six francs five sous, and after writing upon the paper in which they had been enclosed, ' You see, my friends, that when one has six francs five sous he need not die in the hos p ital,' p ut the pistol into his mouth, and blew out his brains."
