At the ANNUAL MEETING, held on the 30th of May, the COMMITTEE of MANAGEMENT were recom mended to take the necessary steps for establishing an INDUSTRIAL ASYLUM at the Cape of Good Hope, on a similar plan to the Brenton Asylum at Hackney Wick. A subscription has accordingly been opened for the purpose of raising the sum of 2,0001., which will be required to take and stock a suitable farm, and provide for the probable expenses of the first two years; after which period it is ex pected that it will become a self-sipporting establishment. In this Colonial Asylum the children might be kept under moral and religious :raining for a longer period than is now possible, and might also obtain, on the spot, practical know ledge sufficient to secure their future prospects in the colony.

" ' The Banker Lord ' is a novel of more variety, bustle, in cident, and character, than any that we have lately had, even from our most accredited and popular writers. The Irish cha racters and sketches, for instance, are fully equal to those in cluded in Mrs. Hall's ' Young Maid's Fortunes ;' the sketches of fashionable and pseudo-fashionable life may vie in point, spirit, and lightness, with those of Mrs. Gore in ' Preferment ;' and the descriptive sketches of a humorous class have much of the breadth and force of Mrs. Trollope's in The Widow Mar ried.' •The Banker Lord' is, in fact, a capital novel, and, with the single exception last-named, it is decidedly the most entertaining one of the season."—Naval and Military Gazette.

EFFECTS OF HEAT._ Theirritation and in flammation frequently produced upon the surface of the Skin by exposure to the sun, is no less unpleasant to the feeling than generally d es t ruc ti ve t o th e a ppearance. The only preventive and preservative of the Hands, Face, and Neck, from this dis agreeable liability is " Rowland's Kalydor." The Kalydor-- a preparation from the most delightful exotics, not only (by its use) insures the skin from the effects of summer's scorching heat, but it never fails of restoring the skin to its pristine deli cacy and whiteness, while, ultimately, it bestows upon the counterance a•soft and delicate bloom ! A COOL CHARGE.--I once gave admission to a gentleman for himself and family, and having some legal busi ness to transact for me, he came behind the scene s f or a few minute s , b etween the play and farce, to speak to ma, and then returned to his party: When his bill of costs was, s ome t i me after, sent in, one of the items - ran thus :—" To attending you in your r com at t h e t h eatre, 6s.

MR DE LACY EVANS BRITISH LEGION. TR H, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Will you perMit me to throw out a suggestion in your valuable paper on the subject of the negotiation lately entered into by Sr de Lacy Evans and the British Go vernment, with the Government of Madrid, respecring the claims of the British Legion. From the details entered into by . the Gallant General, I am led to infer that the payn:ent Will be made to the holderi of the claims, indi forert ishother th e y are i n the .hands of the or ginal possessors or not. The recommendation whir I am now about to submit, under the hope tha will meet the eyes of General Evans and tl tish Goverriment, I have not previously made, is true, in any correspondence of tine to the public press in behalf of the British Auxiliaries generally, as I con ceived it was so perfectly supeifluouse inasmuch as I thought it would nett/ratty suggest itself to the humane minds of the British authorities, in consequence or its being placed beyond the possibility of a doubt that the urgent wants of the claimants have compelled the majority of them long ago to dispose of their interests, either by sale or mort gage, at sacrifices of the most distressing and humiliating description. Under the present negotiation, it appears to me that the parties principally benefited are the usurious money lenders, and not the original claimants. Th e forager hrve no cl a i ms on public philanthropy, as they purchased the certificates at a value fully proportionate to the risks of their being paid. Their claims on the media. tion of the British Government are not, in my humble opinion, one fiftieth so good as those of the unfortunate Spanish Bondholders, whose stock is at so low an ebb, and God knows, has been much 'ewer, and where money was lent in a good cause, and with the best intentions. As the first promised instalment of 50,0001. is not yet distributed, it is therefore, I hope, not too late for the General and the British Government to enter upon a pro viso forthwith, with my excellent friend the Spanish Min ister General Alava, that no claims shall be paid, through British mediation, unless with the consent of the original holders. If such arrangement is not, or cannot be imme diately made, I must confess it will give me great pain to learn, as I have certainly not been expending my money of late, and undergoing considerable anxiety and trouble in order to awaken public sympathy, for the benefit of a set of harpy-usurers ; and I shall still cling to the opinion, that the original claimants remain unpaid by the Spanish Government so long as they aro nut reimbursed in the losses which they suffered on the sale or mortgage o their certificates. .e Br I am inclined, however, to think that there will exist no difficulty in effecting the proviso. lam at, as the pur chasers of the certificates %lilt soon see, the necessity of entering upon an amicable and reasonable adjustment of the usurious transaction with the defrauded auxiliary. I shall certainly persevere in my present exertions in raising public subscriptions in behalf of the destitute unpaid British uxiliarics until lam satisfied That every man has bad his just due. Trusting that the object aimed at in this letter tvill mee your approval and support, I have the honour to be, Sir yours very faithfully, CHARLES COCIIRANE 26, Devonshire-place, July 16. CORONERS' INQUESTS. SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF T. T. CLARKE, ESQ , A MA • GISTRATE OF MIDDLESEX. ANOTHER SUICIDE WHILE THE JURY WERE CONSIDERING THEIR VERDICT.—Y-sterclay morning a Jury of the parish of Ickenham (about two miles from Uxbridge) were empanelled before Mr. Wakley, at Swakelcys, in the parish of Ickenham, to inquire into the circumstances attendant upon the death of Tbo .:as Trues Dale Clarke, Esq. James Kingsnorth was butler in the establishment of the deceased. Saw deceased alive on the afternoon of Wed nesday last, about five o'clock. He was sitting and read ing on a sofa in the library. He was not dressed, having on only his dressing-gown. Did not hear deceased speak. Deceased was 66 or 67 years of age, and had been unwell. Mrs. Clarke, his lady, was sitting by. him. Deceased was under the medical treatment of Mr. Bullock, surgeon, of Uxbridge, who had seen him last on the sam e morning after breakfast. About half-past six o'clock the same afternoon Miss Clarke, the daughter of the deceased, told me her father was missing from the house, and she went towards /ferries' farm in search of him. Hearing from Mr. Ball, the steward, that deceased had gone into the Brook Meadow, went there, and found deceased lying in the brook. By . the CORONER—No person was within sight when de- ceased was found but those who were in search of him. The deceased was often in the habit of walking in that direction. He was lying on his back in the water, %lk* at that spot was not more than twenty inches deep. His body was not covered by the water, but only his face. He was quite dead. By Mr. Gehl—Deceased had been very low-spirited for the last week or ter' days, and had been rather unwell for the last six weeks or two months. His family during that time were continually watching him. Had observed a marked difference in deceased's habits of late. He wouid walk out by himself, without noticing anything 'or any body. Gall then propoPcd to his brother jurors that they should find a verdict " that the deceased had beca found (load in the waters of a certain brook in the parish of 111. lingdon, but how he came there, there was no evidence before them to show," which, being acquiesced iu, was recorded accordingly. Just as the Coroner had left the house, and the Jury were proceeding across the park towards.their homes, they were met by a messenger with the intelligence that James Winch, stud-groom to George Hawkins, Esq., brother of Mrs. Clarke, the widow of the lamented gentleman on whom the inquest had been held, and son-in-law of Mr. Gall, the Foreman of the Jury, had just com mitted suicide by hanging himself in an outhouse attached to his cottage in the village near the church. Larkins the constable, with most of the Jury, instantly hastened to the spot, when they found the statement too correct. It appears the deceased, who was about 36 years of age, and has left a wife and three children, complained on the pre vious evening of being poorly, and yesterday morning he kept his bed. While the inquest was proceeding at Swakeley Hall, his wife went out on some business, and on her return, after an absence of an hour, she found him hang ing from one of the beams of the outhouse. The sensation produced in the village and neighbourhood by this second lamentable occurrence is beyond description. SUICIDE OF A YOUNG WOMAN ON CLAPHAM -COMMON.-- Friday evening an inquest was held at the Windmill Inn, Clapham-common, before Mr. Higgs, upon the body of Mar. an Hopkins; a remarkably fine grown young woman, aged 14, whose body was found floating in the Windmill pond, Clapharn.common. After hearing evidence, the Jury returned a verdict " That the deceased was found drowned, but how or by what means she came into the water there was no evidence to show." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

This exists, however, only as regards each branch, and the parent establishment redeeming their own issues. For instance, a note drawn and made payable at . Blackburn, an d a t t h e London agents, h es b een honoured only at Blackburn, a regulation which has caused some confusion and disap poiroment to the holders of notes. Great merit, however, is escribed to the body of the shareholders for the mat ner in which they have come forward with their means to meet this emergency. The attention of the Joint-Stock Banking Committee has been called to the late trial of Mr. Wood, late Manager of the Walsall and South Staffordshire Bank, at the Wal sall Sessions, for embezzling the property of fie bank. He was acquitted on the ground, that being a shareholder, it was impossible to prosecute him criminally; that the crim'nal law, as it at present stands, provides no reme d y for such a case. Th e ver di ct is rendered more important by the practice, which, it is said, prevails throughout joint-stock banks, of cmployirg no one as a manager who is not also a shareholder, and thus, according to the present law, every Joint-stock Bank might be robbed by a manager, without the latter runnlng any risk of cri minal prosecution. With the view of remedying such a state of things, a deputation from the Committee waited yesterday on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, proposing to amend the law relating to Joint-stock Banks. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said it was necessary to consult the Attorney-General on the subject of the pro- Posed alteration, and promised to communicate the result to the Committee. HERALD.—_A Minizterial Morning Paper long and deeply in the secrets of Spanish loans and loan-jobbers, has formally announced the approaching arrival of Com missioners to treat about another loan. The pap:r in question, in the midst of an unmeaning or rather decep tious far ago about justice to the bondholder& and all that, has the impudrnee in no very indirect terms to bespeak a farouilble reception for the new loan. POST.--The .14orning Chronicle keeps drivelling on in the most pitiful style about Spanish finances. We perhaps, find out now very coon what it is our hy pocritical contemporary is after. His policy is, as he him. self admits, to treat the convicted rogue as an honest man by way of encouragement; and, assuming tbat this disingenuous mode of proceeding is not confined to one particular object, we cannot but entertain the suspicion that there must be some sinister motive lurking at the bottom of his affected solicitude for the character of the Madrid Treasury. The advertisement of the Committee which appeared in the Morning Post of yesterday, cautioning the public against any fresh attempt that may be made upon their pockets, has apparently quite disconcerted the Chronicle party. Our Contemporary, the late eulogist of the body, says, ‘..‘ We cannot approve of this rash and sweeping de nouncement promulgated by the Committee. They must take care whit they are about, and not assume too much. They must allow the bondholders at times to think far themselves, and this matter of a new loan is one in which that course of action is especially requisite." The Chronicle does not pre tend, ho says, to be in the, secret, and yet he is of opinion that the bondholders would be gainers by a measure which would enable the Spanish Government to redeem the bonds lodged in the Bank Ssn Fernando, meaning, of course, that they cannot do a better thing with any loose cash they may have about them than to place it in the hands of those very trustworthy gentlemen. Our contemporary's sermon will fail in its purpose this time. The bondholders have really as much of the old commodity as they can possibly digest. tie is acting a part, but he acts it with so little art that no one can help detecting the imposition. SUN.—Little was done this afternoon in the Fo reign Exchanges, and the quotations continued heavy. Bills on Paris were taken at 25f. 521 e. to 25f. 55c. ; on Amste:datn, at 12 2 to 12 2/ ; on Hamburgb, at 13 2 to / ; and on Frankfort at 149/ to 1491. The very favourable weather we have had for the last day or two, has exercised a beneficial influence on the vaitie of the public securities, which are at present firm. Money, however, was rather in more demand, and this led to a trifling decline in the quotations for the unfunded debt to-day, in which a good business continues to be transactbd for purposes of investment. Consols to-day have been marked 9.14 to 915 foi present transfer, .and 92/ to 921 for Account ; the latter improved price having been obtained just before the termination of business. Exchequer Bills were marked 325. to 305., and 295. premium ; and East India Bonds 2s. to 4s. premium ; Bank Stock improved to 173/ and 174 ; the Reduced. Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were steady at 100/ to 1005 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. continued at 9913- to 99i ; and the Reduced Three per Cents. brought 92/ to 921. Foreign Stocks closed rather better. Spanish 28, Portuguese New 351, Brazilian 801, and Dutch Five per Cents. 103 to -a.. This afternoon there was rather more animation in the Share Market, but sales could only be effected at a slight depression. Gieat Western Railway Shares were at 40, New at 18/, and Birminghain at 97 prem. Brighton Sh ares were • marked 7, and North Midland 34 discount. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. r OF Tile!! DAT. i a n s ner of the Royal Agri- Ch Ch r onicl e . ) DAT. ) FROM T F n r H o m id t o h ß e N N great rr : Pi nt ; d i at Cambridge, on Wednes day last, of which we yesterd ay inserted a full account, culTtuhrealprSocoeceiedtiyngosf at England,th will be read with a degree of satisfaction not often pro duced -of late by agricultural meetings. The general tone of the speeches, and especially that of Sir Robert Peel, was wise and conciliatory. There was a rigid and laudable abstinence from party topics and narrow views of class in terest. If the society be supported, and its operations conducted in :the spirit manifested on this occasion, we may sa f e ly augur very beneficial consequences from its in fluence.indication app eared that this associa tion to operat e as a fresh barrier against the ivas prepared Had r nY demand of justice for the people, in the article of cheap food, we should not have spared our comments on the ne farious purpose. But the subject, together with ell, topics of party strife, was carefully avoided ; and the avoidance was impressiv e ly en f orced by Sir Robert Peel, both in his direct admonition and in the example of his own speech. So far from an injurious bearing on that great question, there is much in the proceedings of the day,"and may be yet more if thev'be appropi iately followed up in the:o of the so ciety, that tends towards its final adjustment. There arc two ways in which the recommendations so ably urged by the Right Hon. Baronet wilt materially serve the public i nterest. First, it must make better understoo d _ ct the condition of the agr i cu l tura l labourer, arid the , u e s ff s of the pres e nt s y stem upon hi s comforts an d means of sistence.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (FRIDAY EVENING. CHRONICLE. —The English Funds have been rather heavy to-day at a decline of i f per cent. on yesterday's quotations. A purchase of 50,000 Consols wasr made in the morning, whichecaused.an advance to 924, b uyers, for the Account, b u t t h ey c l osed at 92} sellers. The Continental Exchanges were neain rather flatter, ' particularly on Ilemburgh. This fall cf itself might create some !Incas ; ncss, but it must be kept in view that gold is decli n i ag it: price in Fl ee: b urg h , having, by the last Two mails been quoted 2 marks lower, thus reducing the price in that city from 431 to 427 marks, and entailing a loss on an y b u lli on exported thither from hence. It is also proper t o o b serve , t h at the exchange on St. Petersburgh has Leen falling in Hamburgh, which, in all probability, arises from the circumstance of the Russian ports being now declared open fcr the import of grain. Those facts, combined with the glut of gold which now exists on the Continent, must mecca sarily tend to dispel any alarm which might be produced from this state of the foreign exchanges. Indeed, if gold should continue in such abundanCe on the Continent, and the prices of the precious metals there go on to fall in a corresponding ratio, we may soon expect to find gold sent to this country by merchants instead of bills, and thus there is no cause to apprehend a drain upon the Bank. The defective state of the law as applied to Joint-stock Banks—more particularly the law of partnership, as exhi bited in a trial in Staffordshire the other day, in which the manager, who was also a shareholder, was prosecuted for robbery of 7,0001, and acquitted, on the plea that, being a partner in the bank, he could not commit a robbery on himself—ha s excited a considerable degree of interest among that body. The Committee of Deputies bad an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, to point out. the evil, and suggest a remedy by the inser tion of the following clause into the Bill about to be re newed relating to Joint-stock Banks, similar to the law in Ireland :-- " And be it further enacted, that if any person or per sons, being a member or members of any copartnership of bankers in Ireland, shall steal or embezzle any money, goods, effects, bills, notes, securities, or other property of or belonging to such society or copartnership; or shall commit any fraud, forgery, crime, or offence against or with intent to injure or defraud such soeiety or copartnership, such member or members shall be liable to indictment, inform. ation, prosecution, or other proceeding, in the name of any one of the public officers nominated for the time being of such society or copartnership, for every such fraud, for gery, crime, or offence; and may thereupon be lawfully convicted, as if such person or persons had not been, or was or were not a member or members of such society or copartnership; any law, u sage , or custom to the contrary notwithstandin g ." The Chancellor of the Exchequer received the deputa tion in that frank and business-like manner which is cha racteristic of him, by admitting the evil, and expressing his desire to see it remedied; but as it embraced an altera tion in the criminal law, it would be necessary for him to consult the law authorities of the Crown before be could undertake to legislate upon it—which was as much as the deputation could reasonably look for. (From the Morning .Her&L) We have authority to inform our readers that the basis of the negotiations between the Privy C')uncil Committee of Education and the National Society has been effected on grounds which must prove highly satistlctory to a'l who desire to insure and strengthen the union between the Church and the State. The schcol inspectors are to be appointed by the Archbishops and Bishops, in conjunction with the Privy Council Committee ; and their instructions will be agreed upon by both parties. The Privy Council has beer, led to make these concessions, partly because they saw that they could not crrry on national education in opposition to the clergy, and partly because they disco vered that both the clergy and the National Society were desirous to advance the intellectual improvement of the people equally with themselves. We do not wish to recur to the past, or to express any sentiments of undue triumph ; but if this fair and equitable basis had been pro posed when the Committee of Council was first esta blished, it might have saved much angry dispute and alter cation. As it is, the public and the Church will estimate, at its proper value, the manly and consistent conduct of the National Society, which has led to this beneficial and honourable arrangement between the ecclesiastical and civil authorities.

ST.

Special instructions have been given on the subject to the Minister of the domains. The completion of this settlement is fixed for the Ist of Jan. 1841.

Mr. Lamb, and several other dealers and agriculturists, are beside me at the table you sat at last year with the same party. Up to the present time (ten o'clock, p.m.), not one lot has been sold to go south. A few pacels, however, are disped of to north country d ea l ers and far r mers. Cheviot wedders os will be about last year's prices, perhaps a shade lower, from 235. to 30s. Ewes are now in demand, and will be higher. I know of two lots on which there has been an advance of 2g. a head. The prices will run from 145. to 20s. Lambs are very plentiful, in consequence of the d r y an d gen i a l spr i ng and they w ill be about Is. or Is. 6d. l ess th an l ast year say from as. to 10s. Nothing will be done in black-faced stock till to-morrow. The trade in wool is very dull. There has been only one lot sold, namely, a thousand stones of Lei cester wool, -which brought 265. per stone. The same wool last yeas sold for 30s. per stone. The manufactu rers wish for a reduction of from 20 to 25 per cent., and the farmers are determined not to fall so low, consequently there be few sales, and large consigments will be made to the commission agents. Itlauy of our farmers have tr i ied the white tar in smearing their flocks, and even on the highest firms in Ross-shire it has been found to answer well. The wool of sheep smeared with this material is said to be worth 2s. a stone more than that prepared with the ordinary tar and butter. The attendance at the market is fully equal to that of preyious years. Veil wet weather, dreadful r a ins t o -day. "--Durn.fries Courier.

STATE OF OUR GAOL.—There are, at this moment, 312 prisoners in our gaol. There a re 6 1 criminals for trial at our South Riding Assizes, an d 54 for the Ndrth .

During the spring season of the Jersey oyster fishery, which closed on t h e last day of- May, 94 English smacks, and 51 Jersey smacks, of about twenty tons each, and 24 open boats, about four tons each, have been em ployed taking oysters for the English markets. The above vessels have given employment to nearly 1,000 sea-faring people. There have been sent to England 70,000 tubs of oysteri (two bushels to the tub), for each of which 4s. V. sterling have been paid for freight to England, and culling and loading the oysters. of from on e to two thousand pounds classes." Th e notion of " union " between the recipient per weak, and the recipient o f f rom eight to ten or twelve shillings per week is a ter r ibl e mockery if it rest there. Both are connected with th e l an d ; but to what does this cornmua nity amount, while starvation is the lot of the one whom toil helps to realise the immense wealth of the other ? We might as reasonably talk fif the community of feeling be tween the landowner and the steait-engine that draioa his grounds. Let the aeciety act up to Sir kolsert Peet's professions on its behalf. Let it fairly treat the labourer as a substantive portion of the agricultural interest. (From,the Morning Advertiser.) We ventured to give, in this Paper of Wednesday last, a legal opinion that then is not any law now mating for preventing Merchants having foreign corn in bond from grinding it and converting it into flour tor ex portation, provided the place in which this should be effected should be so secure that under the inspection of the Customs officers the appropriation of the wheat or flour for home consumption might be safely guarded against. We have since looked diligently through ti:e Act 9 Geo. IV., c. 60, intituled " An Act to amend the laws relating to the importation of corn," and we find nothing contained therein to induce us to alter cur opinion. The words of the Act are, "Be it ereacted that there shall be levied and paid to his Alci''sq neon all corn, grain, meal, or flour, entered for home consumption in the United Kingdom from ports be ',end the seas, the several duties specified and act forth in the table annexed to the Act." We cl!aller7cd the legal world to show that we were wrong; but the chalicn4, , c has not been accepted, and our expressed opinion remeins nn contradicted. This will be a very important state of the law in case a Bill be not laid before Parliament and passed into a law this session, aq was contemplated ; for we ven ture to assert that a profit of about one million sterling has been annually lost to the kingdom by the supposed state of the law. Admitting that we were right, the capital of our merchants, our shipping, sailors, millers, and labourers will find a considerable employment ; for it rarely happens that there is a year in which some other nation or our colo nies arc not in want of flour, which, from a mistaken con struction of the law, it was imagined we could not supply by means of the bonded cern in this country. (From the Morning Po t. ) The new numbqr of the Edinburgh Revitto (which is, by the way, a particularly dull one) devotes somewhere about fifty pages to an article upon the management of our foreign policy. We, who have some remembrance akf politics, literature, and stittibber, of Tories and Whigs full a dozen years after the battle of Waterloo, cannot choese but laugh to see the Edinburgh Review ernpla,ing sir pages in an elaborate glorification of George canning and the Viscount Palmerston. This is certainly not in any sense " paying in kind." It is a pity that the Edinburgh, when it determined upon so laudable a practice as that of returning good for evil, did not try to do the thing in some what a smarter style than that of the lengthy laudation to which we have alluded. It was not in this manner that Can. ning and his sub. used to pay off the politicians of the Edin burgh in the good old times, when there was something like wit and h eart i ness i n the political and literary world. The long article in the new number of the Edinburgh is tedious and grovelling, like the labour of a tired clerk try ing to earn promotion, and to eke out the number of pages for which he expected payment. It has no geniave no energy, no spirit. The writer evidently has no more heart for the appreciation of Canning sad his errors than Lord Palmerston himself has, and evidently cares no more about Lord Palmerston, whom he tries to praise, thaa we our selves do. It is impossible that he could care less. He winds up with cautioning his readers that he does not pre tend to information on authority beyond what official docu ments; presented to Parliament, place at the command of the whole public. This caution we consider rather super fluous. We can well believe that the reviewer had no more than ordinary information. We wish he were capable of making a better . use even of such information as is open to the whole public. • This day is published, in one handsome Volume Bvo., price 7s. flcl.
