- , servancy board is proposed to be shared between the Corporation and the Government. According to the original proposition, as stated by the Secretary to the Admiralty, it will be remembered that the Committee of the House of Commons considered it necessary for the proper protection of the public interest that " new blood" should be infused into the manage ment. With this intention the number of the Conservancy Board—limited in the rough draft of the improvement to nineteen members, namely, the Lord Mayor, five Aldermen, and thirteen Common Councilmen—was proposed to be further restricted to fifteen, and those fifteen to be selected in the following ;manner: —ten of the commissioners by the City, and the remainder by the State. Seeing that this very reasonable proposition was rejected with a somewhat impertinent prompti tude, it was obvious that the House could not, without compromising its dignity, con descend to make any particular or immediate modification. A perception of the indelicacy of their former refusal had, however, been subsequently mani fi.sted by the Corporation, that body consenting that the five disputed commissioners, though still chosen byithe City of London, as previously required, should be nominated with an unlimited veto, and a power of removal reserved to the Crown. In accordance with the proposition thus introduced to Parliament by Mr. WARD, the Thames Conservancy Bill was formally recommitted, by a division of ninety-two against t w en ty - four. According to this distribution of authority in the nomination of a conservancy board, the Government virtually retain a restrictive power over five out of the fifteen commissioners. Hence the Corporation cannot as formerly paddle their delegates up and down the river periodically without any profounder trepidation than as to whether the sturgeon is of average plumpnessor the Lafittc of undiminished flavour. The shadow of the Executive will hang like a Nemesis over the barge of commissioners in the event of any enormous nuisance upon either bank being winked at for the sake of a lucrative consideration. A whole some remembrance of the scrutinising supervision of the Legislature will henceforth impart a sort of di gestive fillip to the grilled bones of the Conservancy supper. Hitherto the rights of the community generally have been merged into the rights of the Corporation individually ; the interests of the civic authorities have predominated over the noble interests of the nation ; the Thames has been regarded rather as the " silent highway" of London than as the channel for the flux and reflux of the national enterprise. A necessity has gradually manifested itself for the re versal of this injudicious subserviency of the kingdom at large to a local municipality. The State has itself taken the initiative in this laudable reformation, and the City has at length recognised the advisability of yielding to the imperative requirements of the age. ‘Ve cannot but regard such an arrangement as the one pencilled out by the Secretary to the Admiralty as a species of corollary to the measures of sanatory improvement. However great may be the opportunity afforded for the facilitation of transit upon the river, however worthy of encouragement may be the schemes for the adornment of its banks, we do conceive that the in vestigations instituted by the Conservancy Board might tend very materially to the disclosure of the localities which particularly require the attention of the sana tory Commissioners. Although the metropolis is for a while excluded from the benefit of the innovations ensured by the operation of the Health of Towns' Bill introduced by Lord Moaprrli, it were absurd to imagine that that exclusion is to be perpetual. It were absurd to suppose that an exclusion dictated by a temporary emergency is an exclusion based upon a settled principle of non-interference in the filth, and the darkness, and the drought, and the atmos pheric stagnation, and the malignant diseases that desolate and disfigure the more densely populated dis tricts in London. Foremost among these neglected localities—foremost amongst them in respect of the ravages caused by the deleterious multiplication of their evils—are many of the rookeries contiguous to the river. Rotherhithe, and even Lambeth, and Wapping, and Deptford, and that most unsophisti cated region of depravity and absolutely triumphant dirt which is depicted in such a light of horrible reality in the closing chapters of " Oliver Twist," are among the number. Besides having its navigation grievously obstructed by many unsightly and cum brous structures, the Thames is rendered, espe cially at low-water mark, pestiferous by the aggregation and stagnation of ill-regulated drains. Beyond this the Thames, instead of affording the most magnificent approach to London, is essentially the back-way into the capital of England. Floating up the river there is not a .ingle quay with the exception of the one fronting the Custom-house to arrest the attention of the foreigner. Saving for its superb bridges, the view presented on travelling either up or down the Thames is somewhat as uninteresting, somewhat as filthy, and somewhat as beggarly as that visible from the window of a Black wall railway carriage, when flying between chimney-pots and the back yards of back streets. Degradation, rottenness, and pauper ?sin are, to all appearance, flourishing where one would most expect the reverse to be visible. In the removal of these numerous and extraordinary evils from the vicinity of the Thames, the Conservancy Commissioners will long find an ample and honourable occupation. : i d t .,.. . .'7 ,), .' r e - j i, , .., , , ,' •.. , • AL4,., ,e, . 4 ~.

Whatever may be the ultimate decision important to the river conserv ancy of the Tham es , i t is most b to the national in terests that the authority should so distributed as to ensure its employment com petent individuals. A lthou g h Lord Grt,,Romy be •rii,:cic is disposed to lay enormous stress upon th e tircuidstance that the prerogatives of the City of London Corporation, in regard to the navigation of the 'ding of English rivers, extended as far hack as the arrival of Wim.usi the Conqueror, and although the Sohle Lord the Representative of Lynn argued th-retivin that it was impolitic to deprive the Common Cnuncirm.en of a right sanctified by the accordance of centurias, we still continue of opinion that the Governmerat is qualified to interfere in any manner it may deem advisable. That such, moreover, is the &pinion of .Pacliament was tolerably well shown last evening by the majority of sixofreight in favour of the reviornraittal of the Bill, whereby the power of the con- The case of MART DAWSON, which was brought before the House of Commons last night, affords an additional illustration of the mischiefs occasioned by entrusting private magistrates, who have had no legal education whatsoever, and who are in no way quali fied for the execution of the extraordinary jurisdic tion conferred on them, with the power of summary conviction. We are not disposed to charge the com mitting magistrates with any wilful abuse of their authority; we cannot conceive that they could have beet) influenced by any malicious feeling against the unfortunate girl, and we therefore readily concur in the acquittal pronounced by the Home Secretary as to the existence of any improper motives on their part ; but it is impossible not to perceive that the victim has suffered as severely from the effects of their ignorance or misapprehension as if they had been actually guilty of the most •orrupt conduct. The girl, who was dragged from her work, and hurried a prisoner through the public streets, and finally confined for more than three weeks in a House of Correction, associated with thieves and prostitutes, will receive but little satisfaction for her sufferings, from the fact that they were occasioned be cause her judges were unacquainted with the law which they took upon themselves to administer — indeed it would be far better for her were it other wise ; for she would then receive ample damages for the injuries she has sustained. But protection is afforded whenever the public functionary has acted conscientiously, to the best of his judgment, although that judgment might have been erroneous and un warranted. It is perhaps right, so long as the system is suffered to exist, that this should be so. It is cor rect that the Home-office should refuse the production of the confidential communications which may be re ceived from the inculpated justices, that the admissions therein contained should not be made use of in any legal proceedings which may subsequently be insti tuted against them ; were it otherwise it would oc casion great mischief, and act as a restriction on the free communications which are so essential, and with which nothing should be permitted to interfere. It is a sound principle that no person should be bound to criminate himself; and it would be most unjust if parties were compelled to answer interrogatories exhibited to them, and then that the replies thus enforced should be made to sustain and prop up a case against them before anoth3r tribunal. The Home Secretary was, therefore, not only justified in refusing, but absolutely bound to refuse, the production of the desired correspondence. Sufficient, however, was elicited for the purposes of our argument, and in opposition to the custom that has unfortunately become too prevalent of late days of Plaei: o gt e heliberties of the people at the disposal of incompetent persons. The tri a l by jury w as formerly look ed upon as the boast of Engli s hman palladium of British freedom. It was the proud es t that he could not be s ubjected t u ntil his guilt had bee n established beyond punishment s any v rea sonable doubt before twelv e of his er encroac h men ts have, however, from time to ti me, Various been made on this privilege and safe guud. New statutes have conferred additional powers on justices, clauses have been added declaring that the matters shall not be removable by certiorari, and making the decisions of a couple of perhaps incompetent magis trates final and conclusive, while the judgment of the most learned occupant of the judicial bench is sub jected to the revision of his legal brethren. Is it that three or six months' imprisonment with hard labour is so mere a trifle that it is a matter of indifference whether a person is erroneously subjected thereto? May not the execution of such a sentence affect all the future prospects of the party ? It is not the actual suffering—although that, under the improved disci pline now existing in our gaols will be found suffi ciently trying—but it is the demoralization occasioned by the characters of those with whom he is found to associate. It is the stain affixed to his reputation—a stigma from which he can never hope to es cape ; he becomes a gaol-bird. He can no longer obtain employment, for which there are so many irreproachable candidates. He is afflicted with a moral leprosy that banishes him from proper society, and makes him shunned by those who might otherwise aid and assist him in his struggle through life. He is driven to crime for a means of livelihood, and his total ruin and degradation may perhaps be traced to the flippant and erroneous judg ment of some magisterial DOGBERRY. Such things should not be suffered in the nineteenth century, and in a free nation. The whole code of magisterial law should be revised, and imprisonment should never be permitted where any controversy existed as to the facts, without the intervention of a jury, and the sentence should be approved of, before being carried into execution, by a bench of justices, one of whom, at least, should be a legal salaried functionary,:whose knowledge of law would afford some guarantee and protection against the blunders of his associates. A letter from Alexandria, of the 9th, says— " An unexpected piece of news is the announcement of the excursion of his Highness to Tuscany, where he is going to take the water 3 of Monte Cacciana. Work men are now fitting up sumptuously the Hagy-Babas and Syout steamers for this trip. Mehemet Ali will be accompanied by Artim Bey, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Yacoub Bey and Soubby Bey, his secre taries, M. Nubar, as interpreter, and Messrs. Zizinia and Tossissa. The departure had been fixed for June 20, but his Highness being informed that the Sultan, in return for the name which he had given the barrage of the Nile (Megidie), intended giving him a magnificent decoration, postponed his departure until after he should have received this mark of favour, and sent off, on June 3d, the Boulaque steamer to bring it to him. It is, therefore, probable that he will not be able to set out for Leghorn before the end of the month. Many per sons seem to think that his Highness will visit France this year, but this is highly improbable. This year's voyage is for the benefit of his health, and next year only will see him in France. A great quantity of cachemire shawls, and other precious objects of the East have been ordered. The building of the great 150 horse power steamer is being urged on with activity. His Highness will then travel like a Sovereign, whereas this year he will limit his expense as much as possible. In his absence, Ibrahim Pacha will be charged with the Government; he is now at the barrage with Abbas Pacha, and Said Pacha. The Princes are there for the purpose of deciding on the cutting of three canals, in tended to effect the irrigation of the whole of Lower Egypt; and to be present at the tracing out- of the new town, which is to be built at the barrage, with the name of Mehemet Ali. Artim Bey has just lost his son, at the age of sixteen months; the funeral took place yes terday. M. de Fok, Consul-General of Russia, is wait ing for his successor, in order to proceed to Constan tinople." Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived. They publish the following letter, addressed by General ESPARTERO tO Don ALVARO GOMEZ BECERRA : "London, 10th June, 1847. " My esteemed Friend,—ln the Faro of the sd I have seen a paragraph of the letter of its correspondent in London, in which he supposes that I, in accord with Lord Palmerston, and with the influential persons of the Liberal party, aspire to govern the Philippine Islands, under the form of a semi-independent principality, re public, or vice-royalty, until the day arrive in which it can become an English colony. "In the midst of the mortifications consequent on ex patriation, nothing has affected me more than this base calumny. " Espartero is, before all things, a Spaniard; and, let the vicissitudes of his country be what they may, it is impossible that Espartero can ever contribute towards dismembering the smallest portion of its dominions. " The Spaniards know me; the Duke de la Victoria confides to them the custody of his reputation. " To his Excellency Don Alvaro Gomez Becerra." The Eco del Comercio and the Herald() treat as absurd the rumour of Mr. BuLwEa's protest against the proclamation of Concha. The Tiempo is to cease to be published. It was reported that General SERRANO, CONCHA, and AIAZARREDO, are about to be created Captains General of the army. The Eco del Comercio says that on the 18th a detachment of soldiers was sent off with extraordinary haste to Aranjuez, for which it was believed that a band of Montemolinists had appeared there. At a meeting of capitalists it was determined to pray the QUEEN to suspend the operation of the new monetary law of Senor SALAMANCA, which is said to be producing bad effects. The Three per Cents. were done at 30 1-16th for cash; the Four per Cents. at is for paper; the Fire per Cents. at 17i for ditto; and the Coupons at 15 for cash. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The news from China is commented on in several of them. The Presse, of course, represents the attack of Sir JOHN DAVIS on Canton as an expedi tion of buccaneers ; but it is the only Paris paper which so represents it. The Journal des Debat3, on the contrary, commends what Sir JOHN DAVIS has done, and makes out the following strong case in his behalf. It says— " According to the ordinary construction and conse quences of the rights of nations, the news from China must excite an apprehension of a resumption of hosti lities; for, according to our ideas, it is impossible to be lieve that any Government can, without demanding ample satisfaction, permit a foreign power to enter its territory abruptly and without any previous declaration of war, and demolish its fortresses and spike its cannon. But in China things pass differently. The despicable and c s a i, n .s on a l t y ev r e e r so y r i t . o h l o v o e d t andi3 now proud Government o f t h e C ourt o f P e ki n, w hi c h cunning accustomed torelieve c. s t t o ttnt fa in ls v e it from the em b arrassment i n which its barbarous pas submit to every insult, and it is probable that the vig o r ous demonstration of the E ng li s h aga i nst the city of Canton will have co other result than to ameliorate for a short time the painful position created for foreigners in that city in contempt of treaties, until new incidents shall lead to new and perhaps more important complications. It was not an unforeseen event which decided the sudden demonstration of the English; it was the desire to obtain a solution to the endless diplomatic correspondence in which the Government of Hong-Kong has been engaged for some years without being able to arrive at any re sult with the Imperial Commissary, Keying, in a demand of reparation for the innumerable wrongs which the Chi nese, and particularly the people of Canton, had in their incorrigible presumption not ceased to commit; it was to obtain justice for the massacre of a crew and English passengers thrown on the coast of Formosa four years ago; it was to obtain satisfaction for the insults and ill treatment of which the English Vice-Consul at Canton was the victim more than two years ago, and of which foreigners have every day to complain in the streets of Canton; it was to obtain the entry into the town pro mised by the treaty of Nankin, but still interdicted de facto ; it was to force the Mandarins to grant the ground necessary for building of churches, for a cemetery, and for the lodging of foreigners; and, finally, to constrain the Chinese Government to the execution of the treaties hitherto eluded, that Sir John Davis, whose patience was exhausted, and who was urged on by the opinion of his fellow-subjects, and without doubt also by the in structions of his Government, resolved to employ the only argument which has any influence over Asiatics, viz., the force of arms." On the subject of the French attack on the Cochin- Chinese the Constitutionnel says— " The Debuts does not say what was the origin of this sanguinary affair, and why Captain Lapierre went into one of the ports in Cochin-China where, as is well known, access is interdicted to European vessels. We know, however, from a private letter, that the motive of the visit of Captain Lapierre was the deliverance of the French missionaries, who, already once expelled from the kingdom of Annam, found means to penetrate into it again. It is, no doubt, well to protect our mis sionaries in these barbarous countries ; it is not, how ever, right to let one's-selt be carried away in the exer cise of that protection farther than the interests of our commerce and our political views require. That the apostles of the faith be rescued out of the hands of the Government of Cochin-China from a cruel martyrdom, is an act commanded by humanity and by the sympathy which we owe to our countrymen ; but, on the other hand, missionaries, once snatched from the hands of the barbarians, ought not to have tempted fortune a second time, to again claim the protection of our ves sels. This continual intervention of our navy cannot be justified but by a decided intention on the part of the French Government to establish its protectorate over all Cochin-China. Is that what the Government wants? If not, we may ask why these reiterated visits of Admiral Laplace, and Cecile, of Captain Favin-Leveque, and at present of Captain Lapierre, visits which are each time the occasion of some dispute which ends in negotiations almost always unavailing, and of whieh the only result has hitherto been the liberation of the missionaries, who return there to undergo fresh tortures. It would be ad visable, however, that the missionaries should manifest ponae prudence in what they do, at least for our country, Ttiig _LONDON, dATIIIIIIAY _rilirENlN6 i JUNE QC 1441,' and that it should be known clearly what is really 13-• tended, in order not to expose the Cochin-Chinese to be killed by thousands when not converted by hundreds." The affair of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN still con tinues to engross public attention. The Opposition journals consider his acquittal by the Court of Peers as a condemnation of the Ministry, and consider that for the sake of their own characters MM. GUIZOT and DUCHATEL should demand a full investigation, " It is not as Ministers," says the National, " but as men, that MM. GUIZOT and DUCMATEL are hence forth interested in removing the suspicion which en velope them. They both enjoy a reputation for per sonal probity which, for our part, we have ever re spected. But is a man honest when it can be as serted of him that he does not rob, but that he suffers another to rob ? He suffers his name to be used in base swindling. He had servants whom he knew to be guilty of unworthy manceuvres—he was aware of these manoeuvres, and he retained those lacquer; in his service, and he has made use of them to tarnish the reputation of the most honourable men amongst the Opposition. Is that honourable ? Ah ! ric* doubt there would have been a greater degree of criminality if a certain Minister sold for his own account a patent for a new theatre and put the money into his pocket. Such a man is sent to the galleys. But if a Minister be aware that 100,000 f. was paid for such a patent—if he did not grant the patent until after the mony was paid—if he was perfectly ac quainted with the persons who received the money— if one of those who paid the money declared the fact in a letter signed with his name—if the latter was not prosecuted, will anybody dare to maintain that such a Minister had conducted himself like an honest man ? It is not possible that the majority of the Chamber can consent to suffer such a situation to continue, and if it be a rigorous duty for the Opposi tion to propose a Parliamentary inquiry, does not the honour of the majority of the Chamber command it to consent to such a proposition ? The Constitutionne/ says of the Ministers, that " the more they are pressed the more they are silent ; the more abundant the proofs against them are, the more they shun the discussion. They may, there fore, be considered as justly condemned, since they appeal from the verdict of popular opinion neither to a judicial nor a Parliamentary inquiry." The Journal des Debats, on the other hand, declares that the Ministry are completely absolved. It says— " It is for th© Opposition to consider whether it should or should not recur to the political question. We shall not attempt to prevent it; but until it be done we have a right to say that the political question is at an end. In the sitting of Thursday last the accuser of the Mi nistry was at full liberty to produce his proofs; his own interest urgently pressed him to conceal no thing; the Opposition required only the shadow of a proof to declare in his favour; on all sides he was ad jured to explain himself, to tear aside the veil, to tell all he knew. If M. Emile de Girardin had the least thing to say, his success must have been certain and complete. Instead of a prosecution by the Chamber of Peers, he would have had a triumph, and the Ministry, perhaps, would have been the accused party. To produce a just estimate of M. Emile de Girardin's proofs one word will be sufficient. After the speech of M. de Girardin, the Opposition, which was so animated at the beginning of the sitting, remained mute and confounded on its benches. M. de Girardin himself could not find a word to say in answer to the speeches of M. Duchatel and M. Guizot. The authorisation of the Chamber for the pro secution was given with an immense majority and in so lemn silence. No expressions can describe the astonish ment of the crowd, and the surpriseof those even who had never believed that M. E. de Girardin could have any very great relations to make. So much parade, such formal allegations against the Ministry, his demand of a secret committee, the anxiety of the public and of the Chamber excited—to end, when the time for explanation came, in—nothing ! This is what no one could compre hend—or rather there was a conviction that M. de Gi rardin had unfortunately failed in finding his proofs. In saying that the proofs of M. de Girardin were re duced to nothing, we were certain that we were render ing the universal opinion, both of the Opposition and our own. Accused of an offence against the Peers, M. E. de Girardin was acquitted on Tuesday—as accuser of the Ministry, M. E. de Girardin was condemned on Thursday last." In the division on the GIRARDIN affair in the Chamber of Peers, M. DR MONTALIVET, M. ATIIALIN, and all the members of the Palace clique voted against the Ministers. It is said that other individuals high in rank are implicated in the Cubieres' affair, and that M. TESTS and General CURIERES are not the only functionaries who will be prosecuted. In the Chamber of Deputies on 'Wednesday M. DURAND DE ROMORAUTIN asked if it was true that Austria intended to intervene in the affairs of Switzerland, and if France was to ?et as her auxiliary. M. GUIZOT replied, that the Helvetic Diet being about to meet in a few days he would say nothing calcu lated to influence its deliberations. Nobody took a more real and deeper interest in the affairs of Switzerland than he did ; nobody respected more her independence, nor was more anxious that order and prosperity should prevail in that country. Switzerland was per fectly free to reform her institutions, but Switzerland was not placed in a situation similar to that of other states of Europe. Her independence was guaranteed by Europe, such as it existed at the time the treaty, insuring that independence, was signed. Should that federal state introduce any radical change in its organization, the treaty on which its independence rested would cease to exist. M. LEDRU ROLLIN then reminded the Chamber that if the principles of the doctrines just put forward by the Honourable Minis ter had been carried out in 1830, the family of Orleans would not now be sitting on the throne. The discussion relative to Switzerland ended with out any definite result. It was said that on Friday M. LEON DE MALLE VILLE was to move for a Parliamentary inquiry into the accusations of corruption brought by the Presse against the Ministry, and that the motion would be supported by every Member of the Opposition of every party. The Presse states that the Committee on the New Customs Bill has determined to recommend that the duty on colonial and native sugars shall be re duced 20f. per 100 kilogrammes, that the surtax on foreign sugars shall be lowered in the same propor tion, and that the duty on coffee shall be reduced two thirds. It adds, that the Government has ac cepted these modifications. public prosecutor has The Courrier Francais says-- .• Great surprise is everywhere expressed that the in the Thibandeau Girardin We know from a certain source that the Procureur-General , M. Delangle. will be questioned in not yet a t iy ho ai u r ghtght to intervene the Chamber in the course of the debate which is to take place on the accusations of which the Cabinet is the object, unless in the meantime Al. De- Jangle shall determine to do his duty." We read in the Constitutionnel:— " Prince Pierre-Napoleon Bonaparte, who has in habited Belgium for many years, had offered his ser vices to Mehemet-Ali through Soliman Pacha and M. 0. Barrot. The Viceroy of Egypt received this offer favour ably and promised to place the Prince in the staff of his army. The French Government, on its side, declared offi cially through M. F. Barrot, Consul-General of France at Alexandria, that it should offer no opposition to the entrance of the Prince into the service of the Egyptian Government, The Prince consequently prepared to depart, and with that view addressed the French Go vernment to obtain permission to pass through France, in order to embark at Marseilles. But, contrary to all expectation, the authorisation was refused. This mea sure appoars the more inexplicable as the brother of Prince Pierre, Prince Charles Bonaparte, is at present in Paris ; and that in the discussion which lately took place in the Chamber of Peers, relative to the petition of Prince Jerome, ex-King of Westphalia, the French Cabinet entered into a solemn engagement to apply with indulgence the law which proscribes the Napoleon family." The Paris Bourse was unusually dull on Thursday. Prices were little more than nominal, but with a ten dency to decline.

HOSPITA L FOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON.—Yes terday evening a meeting was held of the managing committee, in the board-room of the above institution, Edward Speer, Esq., in the chair. The usual routine business having been gone through, it was stated that it wa!intended to erect a small chapel for the use of the patients and establishment.

The proposed fund for the erection of the chapel is entirely distinct from any other, and the first donation of fifty guineas has been made by Philip Rose, Esq. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, and the sales for the week have been 54,490 bales. The stock is 474,370 bales, against 766,060 bales at this time last year. The advance in American sorts this week is about id. per lb.—Railway Shares were in demand again.

(Before Mr. Commissioner GouLnuns.) IN RE MATTHENCHAN. This insolvent, who is the owner of a coal mine, called " Oak Colliers," in the Forest of Dean, Glouces tershire, came up for his final order. The debts are about 10.0001., but it was alledged that the property would fetch 28,000/. The trade assignees applied for an adjournment of the final order, as they had not had time to investigate the affairs. Mr. COOKE, who appeared for several creditors, said there could be no objection to that course. His HONOUR said it was a concern which would re. quire a good deal of time to look into. Mr. DUNCAN, for Mr. Matthewman, said that be was anxious for delay, for twelve veins had been discovered and two were in a forward state, and, with a little money, which the insolvent's friends would advance, they would, no doubt, prove very productive. lie thought, therefore, that an adjournment for six months would not be too long, as the credirors could not be pre judiced. As his Honour had observed, this was not an ordinary case of insolvency,where the insolvent sought to get rid of his debts, but he sought time to pay in full. Mr. COOKE and the assignees said they had no objec tion; but Mr. Cooke said that until the final order was granted, the Court had no power to make an allowance. Mr. DUNCAN submitted that the official assignee could do so under the sanction of the Court, when funds were in hand, but his Honour was of a contrary opinion. The Learned COUNSEL then applied that the costs should be allowed in this case, as in insolvency, and quoted the case of Day. His HONOUR-1 was wrong in that. I should not like to renew the experiment. The case was then adjourned till November. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) This morning, shortly after the charges had been dis • posed of, the Grand Duke Saxe Weimar, accompanied by several of his suite, paid a visit to the court, for the purpose of seeing and hearing something of the English mode of dispensing summary justice. As no business was going on when his Highness arrived, Mr. Henry accompanied him to the station house opposite, where he remained some time, and on returning to the court waited while several cases of a trifling nature were dis posed of. He took his leave about half-past one, having apparently derived much amusement from his visit. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) NEWCASTLE RACES.—FRIDAY.

EGYPTIAN HALL.TIIE BOSJESMANS. — The boys of the Royal Caledonian Asylum, in full costume, accom panied by their band, visited the exhibition of the Bosjesmans, or Bush People, yesterday. Nothing could exceed the surprise and delight expressed by the Afri cans when the drums and fifes struck up the national airs of Scotland. The Bush people stood immovable, in really graceful and picturesque attitudes. The Bosjes mans communicated to Mr. Tyler, the gentleman under whose care they are, their anxiety to examine the in struments and see where the sounds came from ; an . cordingly the fifers and drummers were marched to the platform inside the barrier. The sudden crash of the drums made the Bush people retire backwards, appre hensive of some danger ; in a few minutes they advanced and listened with apparent ecstacy to the soft and melo dious notes of the fife. The younger Bushmen, who at all times evince a vein of considerable humour, wi s h e d to take one of the fifes into his own keeping, no doubt to soothe the irritable temper of his better half. Altoge ther the exhibition was hig hl y entert aining and amusing. The rooms were crowded. ALARMING FIRE IN THE NEW NORTII*ROAD.

DUELLING E XTRAORDINARY AT BRIGHTON. (From the Brighton Guardian.) An amusing exemplification of the progre ss of " The Snobs of England" in the vices and follies of the upPer classes has been lately afforded in Brighton by an oe currence, the Quixotic extravagance of which has rarely been exceeded. The particulars of this rencontre, as well as we have been able to gather them from authentic sources, are as follows :—One evening shortly (le to Friday, the 11th instant, a young fine specimen of that obnoxious class so Tig c). rously denounced by Albert Smith) named was reclining in luxurious abandon on o ne the seats of the Esplanade, inhaling i s-rnultaneou, y a breezes from the sea and the tranquillising fumes ° I . whose veind cigar—n hen a rival " gent," one N--• in circulateth the blood of a " gallant Captain," aPPr c ' ac u , lie s o him in an imperious manner and remarked that , it a not very gentlemanly to be smoking cigars in such ~ place. To this rude accostment the other replied that 11 , vrior was quite as gentlemanly as to wear such ility shocking was bad hat " as the impugner of his gent What answer this retort uncourteous provoked, and what charges blood and counter charges followed, are unf°r tunately lost to posterity; but certain it is that the of the Captain " riled " high, and that the indignan6 fumigat)r wa were bandied, the plebian alternative of fists s equally put upon bis mettle.

At the appointed hour the antagoni met ; and the preliminaries having been completed, Ibe seconds proceeded to mark out the ground close to ; second breakwater, near Hove. Eight paces will t t is distance, the combatants took each his place, the t hata t were loaded, and everything prepared, when a t e d 1 at eight o'clock .set, critical juncture one of the valiant youths through his chattering teeth, " Wha-a-t ! are Yeel ° t a-going to-o mur-murder me ?" It is not unlikely. that some such feeling of dread was passing in theme Ind r ° - his antagonist at the same moment ; for it apps ce.e tain from the best authorities that no inconsiderabl. number of paces were added to those already marked out. Indeed, it has been whispered that the parties stoo dho i° retired to the extreme ends of the breakwater, ; prepared to dart behind it on the word " fire" he t i :a given. " Time " being called, each gallant heart wers.' ere up its courage " to the sticking point," the arms mutter 0 " oua raised and discharged, a loud report was heard, 9 cl cot - of of smoke arose, and, as that cleared away , th e wev el., batants were seen to stand unhurt. They h a d, ho o t still another brace of pistols in the case, an d the las" , t , honour required that they be discharged, The -crert were satisfied, and N— f e ll—in a fainting fit 1 - t, recovered, he firmly declined the honour of another shot, agreeing that if any stain remained upon the eher gc „:l l of his " friend " it should be washed out by as r e ",,,, champagne as he might choose to drink at his exP en f ly This challenge was instantly accepted, and the pa rty adjourned to a favourite " house of call," where they drowned all animosity in a flowing bowl. The 03 , () ,, e amusing part of the adventure remains to be told. Since the meeting, N— has been frequently heard to dee lar that he palpably felt one of the balls sweep pest his ear, and that another brushed his hat ; both which circulo; stances are rendered extremely improbable from th e 114 c that the pistols were, unknown to the combatant°, charged with powder only !
