IsTITED ‘-`AT FIVE DAYS LATER. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. The New York packet-ship V. aterloo, Captain Alen, arrived here about six o'cncic this evening, at least her papers, which come down to the 15th ult., Were landed at that time. By this arrival we have rec,eived papers fr om N ew Y or k, New Orleans, Washington, Philadelphia, and Boston, to the latest date. The news which they contain is not very im portant, but there are several interes'ing items from the American army in Mexic The commercial intelligence is satisfactory. Freights had a downward tendency, and the flour and grain markets were looking dull, with a pros Pect of falling prices. On the subject of freights; one Or the New York papers of March 15 says— Shippers are holding off in hopes of obtaining a reduction in freights, and on paying more for corn on future delivery than they now are for parcels here. Flour is taken to Liverpool at 7s. ro. id. an d w corn 211 to iQ 1. Corn to Ireland 26d. ; to Glas gow 23,1. to 24d. Contracts have been entered into for vessels to load in July at 55. for flour, and 18d. for grain. Our market report states that cotton was dull of sale at New York on the 15th ult., but prices firm. SrA n nners were th e p r i nc ip a l o p era t ors . Cienesee Lour was quoted at 7 dollars, and the range of Western Canal was from 6 dolls. 87ie. to 7 dolls. Southern was dull at 6 dolls. 50c. to 6 dolls. 62ic., including Richmond and Baltimore. Sales of Indian Meal were made at 5 dolls., and for delivery in April . 4 dolls. 62i c . Ry e 5 dolls. Corn was down a little, owing to the want of vessels, and an expected decline in freights ; sales had been made at 85 to 93 t ets, and Jersey Wheat at 140 c. A fair business Was doing in Rice at 3 dolls. 75c. to 5 dolls. The market for provisions had been rather dull, but was getting firmer. Prime Ohio Pork sold at 12 dolls. 25c., and prime Mess 14 dolls. 50c. Ohio Lard 101 to 101. We have already observed that the political news is not important. The most important item ap pears to be the resignation of Major-General Benton, who had been appointed to the supreme command of the army. He alleges as the cause of his resignation that he was not clothed with sufficient authority to bring about the settlement of the dispute between his own country and the citizens of Mexico. Some i of the papers comment rather severely upon this move of Mr. Benton. He wished to supersede Generals Scott and Taylor, and dictate terms of peace aided by the Provisions Bill, just as he pleased. We have pe rused the correspondence which has taken place be tween Mr. Benton, the President, and the Adjutant- General on the subject. The rumour that prevailed of a fight between Santa Anna and General Taylor was of course a hoax. Events in the South had, however, a threatening aspect, and it was thought that the month of March would probably be the most exciting of the campaign. It was reported that General Worth would be nominated in the room of Benton—refused. Other names were talked of, but nothing certain was known. This arrival furnishes Us with accounts from Havannah to the 28th of February. The distresses of the American army were still a prominent topic in the Mexican papers. The Minister of War had sent Santa Anna 25,000 dolls. at the clone of January. The latter adds that he is about to meet the enemy. The capture of the American troops had caused some enthusiasm. Ac tive preparations were making for the defence of Vera Cruz as late as the 7th. The national bridge and Point Chiquihuite were receiving formidable additions to their strength. The blockade at Vera Cruz was reported to be violated daily. News of the British Mail West India steamer had reached Havannah. The Church in Mexico has effectually resisted the seizure of its property. Santa Anna had yielded to the demands of the hierarchy, and the. clergy proposes a loan of 450,000 dolls. per month. The benevolent exertions in favour of the suffering People of Ireland are still going on in the most praise worthy and active manner. Subscriptions to a large amount had been taken up in New York. THE BRAZIL MAILS. PALMOUTII, Aram 6.-1 he Seagull packet, Lieut. Parsons, arrived last night with the Brazil mails; sailed from Rif; de Janeiro on the 14th of February. Freight, eleven bars of gold on account of the Brazi lian Government. Passengers—Messrs. Braun, liar riaon, and Konitz ; and steerage passenger, John Bastin.

Exchange—Moderate amounts were almost daily passed upon London at 281 to 1, until the Bth, the eve of the departure of the steamer for the north, when business was done at 29. When the Seagull was announced to sail on the 14th, the market opened at 282, and large sums were negotiated at 282 and at 281, the latter the nearer quotation at the Close of business; and on the 12th the last quotation WAS 282. Altogether, about 130,0001. had passed on London, 340,000 francs on Paris at 330, and 50,000 francs of indirect bills at 320 to 328. Moderate amounts on Hamburgh at 610. Discounts continue to rule at 7i, at which rate the demand had been brisk. Stock, which opened at 84, had declined to 83 and 83i ; the sales hal been extensive, and the market closed flat. In specie a moderate business was done. Spanish Doubloons, dolls. 29 500 to dolls. 30 000 ; Patriot, dolls. 29 200 to dolls. 29 400; Spanish dolls., 1 950 to dolls. 2 000.

The Seagull brings nothing new from the River Plate. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, APRIr. 6.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Madrid, Captain John Weeks, arrived at Southampton this afternoon, it half-past four o'clock, from Gibraltar, and landed her mails from the following places, in charge of Lieutenant Smythe, Admiralty agent. The mails Were forwarded to London by the six o'clock train. Her dates of sailing are—Gibraltar, 28th March; Lisbon, 31st; Oporto, Ist April; Vigo, 2d; Corunna, no communication. The Madrid brings home about thirty passengers, amongst whom are Colonel Fane, Dr. Irwin, Mr. Cox, Mr. Walsh, &c. Her cargo consists of oranges, eggs, wine, &c., and four boxes of bullion. The weather during the voyage outward was bad, with strong VI inds ; home ward moderate, with light winds. STATIONS or HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS.—At Vigo, on March 23, her Majesty's ships Superb, America, and Thetis ; at Oporto, her Majesty's ship Nautilus ; in the Tagus, Hibernia, Trafalgar, Canopus, Incon stant, and steamer Phoenix. STATIONS OF VESSELS OF WAR OF FOREIGN STATES.—At Vigo, on March 23, the Spanish frigate Isabel the 2d ; in the Tagus, French brig Cygne, and Portuguese squadron ; Cadiz Bay, Spanish steamer Blasco de Garde; at Gibraltar, her Majesty's steamer Virago and Trid(ynt. SHIPS OBSERVED ON TWE VOYAGE.—Passed a large French man-of-war steamer off Cape St. Mary, steer ing to the S.E., also a three-masted steamer to the south of Finisterre, on the 2d April, supposed to be French, and three in the Bay of Biscay, on the 4th April, under French colours, going south. Passed a ship, about 600 tons, off Finisterre, with bowsprit standing, mainmast gone by the board, and the stumps of fore and mizen-mast, apparently abandoned, also a boat and much wreck in the bay. MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. — Passed Vianna on the afternoon of the 23d March; there was firing from the fort upon the town, continued with spirit as long as we could distinguish from the ship. At Oporto things remain in much the same state. They are much alarmed at Lisbon, and continually keep the town under arms, for fear of an assault, as is expected, upon the town ; the Duke of Cornwall, a steamer, chartered it is said for six months to carry troops to and fro, arrived in the Tagus on the 31st of March, and is armed as a war-steamer, and they are in daily expectation of the arrival of the Royal Tar, a steamer bought for the Government, for the same Mprpose. H e r R o y a l Highness the Princ ess A nne arie, sister of Dom Miguel, with her daughter and three sons, came from Cadiz to Lisbon, and was sa luted by the British, French, and Portuguese men-of -war, and seemed much excited by the deference showed to her. She was in good health, and also her daughter, who is a beautiful girl of about eighteen; the sons are about the ages of eight and twelve. The British fleet now lying in the Tagus are uncertain as to their movements ; as they daily expect an assault on the town, they are lying there for British subjects, who will find refuge therein, and the fleet will imme diately depart. THE SARAH SANDS.—LI VERPOOL, TUESDAY A FTER 1100 N.—The Sarah Sands took her departure on her second voyage fur New York, about two o'clock to day. She had 50 cabin and 120 second-class passengers, a large cargo of general goods, specie to the amount of 2 00,0001. sterling, and mails fur the United States. The Proceeds of the voyage are estimated at not less than 5,0001. . ~,. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. SPORTING IN NEW MA RKET CR LATEST BETTING 0 iTELLIGENCE. AVEN MEETING.

It was, however, considered advisable by the stewards to have the water drawn off this year to its pre sent width.] Upon clearing the " Big brook" the course then bore to the left, over the first fence taken at the s art, where the line was re-enter - 4.d, and then there was a❑ excellent straight and long run home to the winning /3-1;A, the whole distance being about a furlong short o four miles. For the Sovereign Sweepstakes to-day the course was shortened by about a mile. It will be tl:e same to-morrow for the Five Sovs. and the Two Sovs. Sweepstakes. The line of country, the whole of which was grass land, was in excellent order for the sport. The sport came off as under, the first race being for The Hounslow Brigade Stakes of 10 sous. each, h ft, with 20/. added ; the second horSe to save his stake ; 12st each for horses bona fide the property of officers of the Household Brigade—v!z., the Ist and 21 Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards, and the Brigade of Foot Guards.

The Major, however, was soon again mounted, the gelding taking the remainder of the leaps admirably. Advance and Peurl were pulled up at the second brook. The Royal Italian Opera at Covent Garden, opened last evening, under the management of Mr. Beale. We have already given severa: notices of the altera tions which have been made in the interior of the theatre under the direction of Mr. Albano, the ar chitect, to fit it for the purposes of an Italian Opera House, we shall, therefore, on the present occasion confine ourselves to giving a general description of the coup Bail presented by the theatre last evening in its complete state, with all the scaffolding removed and as fitted up for operatic performances. The salle itself is nearly two-thirds larger than that of the old theatre. The circle, or rather the horse-shoe of boxes is carried back into the saloon, the roof has been raised, and the pit has been exca vated, so that there are now six tiers Of boxes. The decorations on the panels of the boxes are white and gold, and the ornaments are of very elaborate workmanship. The second tier of boxes is supported upon Caryatides, which produces a novel and pleasing effect. The supports of the upper tiers are hid by the draperies. The boxes are lined with scarlet draperies, and the curtains are of rich scarlet silk, the hangings being of scarlet velvet. These draperies give to the house a magnificent, but some what heavy appearance. The proscenium boxes are flanked en each side by Corinthian columns, with gilt capitals, as at Drury-lane and the raymarket theatres. The chandelier is, perhaps, the most superb ever seen, and it completely illuminates the house. En addition to this, there is a branch containing three wax candles to each box of the two lower tiers—a novelty in the way of lighting a theatre that is in troduced here. These branches proceed from the moulding of the boxes, and the light is, consequently, thrown from below upwards. The ceiling is richly embellished by allegorical paintings, which reflect the highest credit on the artistic skill of Signori Ferri and Venardi, of the Theatre Italien, Paris, who have been employed to embellish it, and who have also painted the drop curtain, which is exceed ingly rich in its pictorial embellishment. As soon as the doors were open, the house was crowded in every part, and the appearance of Costa in the orchestra was the signal for loud and frequently repeated shouts of cheering, which were acknow ledged gracefully by the musical director. The opera chosen for the opening was Semiramide, and Mr. Beale has certainly shown great judgment in select ing it. It is, perhaps, Crisis greatest character. Tamburini had years since made the character of Assur his own ; in the new contralto Mademoiselle Alboni was sure to make a hit in Arsace, and the chorus es an d orchestra were a l rea d y we ll drilled in the music. Ile was thus enabled to play out his great cards at once, and with effect. The following was the cast : NEWMAR KE' 4 to I tryst c-lt 6 to 1 a;4st Vanish (t) 6 to 1 ugst Sting 6 to 1 egst Footstool 10 to 1 agst Lyneeus • TWO THOUSAND 2 to 1 agst Planet 9 to 2 apt '1 he Liberator R CUP.

Mademoiselle Alboni. Assur ...Signor Tamburini. Idreno ...... Signor Lavia. Oroe Signor Polonini. Grisi, who has grown somewhat stouter than she was last year, looked well, and was in excellent voice. It is needless to add that she was indeed the Queen of the Assyrians. Tamburini has not appeared in England for four years, and we regret to say that those four years have left their mark on him. He is somewhat increased in size, but there is the same in tellectual expressive countenance, the same energy, the same passion in acting; hut his voi.:e is not what it was. It is occasionally husky, and in its upper notes uncertain. He still accomplishes great things, but with visible effort, and we have been unused to this with Tamburini ; still, take it for all in all, his Assur is a great performance, and when he shall have recovered from the fatigues of his voyage, and have become again accustomed to the English climate, let us hope that Tamburini will be himself again. In the great duet with Grisi, in the second act, she at times com pletely sang him down. The great hit of the night was the debut of Alboni. Her voice is one of the richest, clearest, purest contraltos ever heard. As a musician she is perfect ; her features are beautiful and most expressive, and her acting is everything that can be desired. Imagine Pisaroni with beau tiful features and a fine figure, and you have Alboni before you. Tier " scena d'intrata" at once secured her position. The audience felt that they were listening to an artiste of genius. The only encores of the evening were bestowed on Alboni— first, in the finale to the scene with Oroe in the second act, and next in the duet with Grisi (the gem of the opera), Giorno d'orror. We never heard Grisi exert herself more than she did in this duet. It was evident that she felt it was a trial of skill between herself and the accomplished debutant, and the con sequence was, that this duet was given superbly. Signor Lavia is a worthy and pains-taking tenor. but Signor Tagliafico, who acted the part of Oroe, although rated as a prinio basso, will never rival Lablache, who used to make so much of this cha racter . The chorus singers were well drilled, and sung the music correctly, but it would be well if the director would endeavour to infuse a little more ani mation into his subordinates, and make them act as well as sing. The opera was well put upon the stage, and at the conclusion Alboni, and Grisi, and Tamburini were called for. The national anthem was sung at the conclusion of the opera, (which was not over until after midnight), and the new ballet, Les Odalisques, with Mademoiselle Fleury (who, two years since, appeared at Drury-lane), con cluded the evenin e mntertainment. The ballet, the scenery of which is splendid, and which - was com pletely successful, did not conclude until such a late hour that we must defer a more detailed notice of it to another opportunity. - -------- - - Mr. A.

The Lion fell, after having cleared the first brook, throwing its rider, who was for some time insensible.

BANIES. tent only by the town and country trade, notwithstand ing the molcrate rate that exists. Of low and mid qualities, the home trade have been induced to take many parcels, owing to the late rates, at which there are sellers. . SAGO.—Prices continue to give way, the demand being limited, and the supply good; we quote small Pearl at 30i to 32s for ordinary to good, and fine at 32s to 34s per cwt. That a further fall in the value will ensue, ap pears to be the general impression. Sago Flour is little wanted, and can be obtained at 22s to 23s per cwt. The arrivals of Sago and Sago Flour are likely to exec:A those of the former season. SPICES.—In all descriptions of Black Pepper there have been little desiro manifested to operate privately, but former rates are, however, asked for all sorts. At public sale 4,140 bags of Malabar were only in part sold. Fur white previous rates are insisted upon, but privately only a moderate business has been done. Mace is fully as high as on this day week ; the demand being active, and supply moderate. Cassia L.gitea,letches full rates, the supply being small, and the demand good. F o r Pim e nt o prices col tinue high, but exporters and the home trade buy with eauis;on. Of Jamaica Ginger several parcels have been sold pt.i• vately at full rates. East India met with attention. For Nutmegs previous rates are asked, but the demand has been less active fur home consumption and exporta tion. For Cloves th marks tis looking quiet, ned prices ter d dow wards. ]lice.—To day East India Riee mrt with more atten tion by privaze t:evy, and large parcels were disposed of at foil rates. Hors.—The business doing in our market is on a retail scale, and prices have undergone no variation since last week's report. SPIIZITS.—The market has presented a dull appear ance for Leeward Island Rum, and 3s 4d to 3s 6d is the nearest value of proof strength ; whilst the supply is on the increase, and likely so to continue. East India is little wanted and proof with certificate can be obtained at 3s 2d to 3s 3d. and there is a fair quantity on offer. For arrival there are even sellers under these rates. Demerara met with little attention, and prices are on the decline. Of West India several parcels have been received since Tuesday last, and heavy arrivals are near at hand from all quarters. The stock of West India is less than it was last season, but of East India is greater. The home, demand has been limited for all sorts of Brandy, and exporters have operated with caution, prices are on the decline, and merchants appear to be desirous to sell, as there are large arriv als near at hand, and the stock here being heavy. The consumption, is however, going on satisfabtorily, and exceeds that of former season. Geneva has been in good demand for export, and 2s 7d to 2s 8d are the rates paid for ordinary export sort, but the home demand has been limited at 2s 10d to 3s 3d for fine. The price of Corn Spirits has fallen 9d, and it is now 11s per gallon for English. SALTPETRE.—The home and export mand.,was limited for Rough by private contract and the rates paid have been rather above those that existed previously. Holders evince much firmness, and supply the market sparingly. OlLS.—There has been little desire manifested by the home trade to operate in Linseed Oil since this day week, few export orders have been executed; the crushers are desirous to realise, and submitted to further reduced rates. For forward delivery the operations are upon a small scale. The consumption is, however, yet on the increase, and far exceeds that of the previous season. Rape Seed Oil has been in excellent request, and quotations range firm. Holders of Cocoa Nut are asking 48s to 49s for good and fine, and 45s to 475. for low and middling, but at these high rates exporters and the home trade operate with caution, and some parcels have arrived. That a fall in th e value will take place shortly an opinion exists. For Palm the home demand has been good, and exporters have been induced to operate with more freedom, but the stock being large, holders are compelled to accept 37s for fine, stud 30s' to 36s for low to good quality. The consumption continues on the increase. There has been only a limited demand for Olive Oil for home consumption or exportation; holders have been more inclined to realise, and submitted to ratherlower rates, although there is a large stock here, and the con sumption is going on satisfactorily. The arrivals of Fish Oils are upon a more extended scale, and the market has been more freely supplied. Sperm has been in ex cellent request, and a further improvement in the value took place. TALLOW.—There is still a desire manifested on the part of the holders of Russian to realize, and they have submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt. on the spot, still soap makers and chandlers have ope ratad with caution, and 49s 6d to 50s are the prices ac ccepted for fine P.v. Candle. SUNDERLAND DOCKS.—PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF THE Gam.;Es.—A very serious accident has befallen the gro3nes which are to form the breakwater to the immense sea wall for the extensive docks at Sunderland. Three groynes, about 100 yards in length, and of solid masonry, have just been completed, and were found to answer the purpose most admirably for which they were designed. The successful completion of the work, after an arduous struggle through the winter, was a subject of much congratulation ; but the work has been hardly finished before the unruly waves of the ocean have broken through the middle of the north and south groynes, leaving the centre one uninjured. The extent of masonry swept away in each of these two groynes is about 25 yards, and the heavy blocks of stone, bound together with iron clasps, and cemented in the usual way, calculated to resist the greatest violence of the sea, was on Friday night last, swept away during a tremen dous gale and heavy sea from the north-east. It was expected that the succeeding tide would have completed the total demolition of the two groynes, but, fortunately, the gale abated, and the sea subsided in violence, so that no further damage has yet been done. This untoward circumstance has created a great sensation in the town, and given rise to fears that the final completion of the docks will be attended with great danger and expense, but as yet no official account of the accident has been given, and it is impossible to say whether the masonry has been insufficiently put together, or it is one of those casualties which the greatest care cannot always pre vent. The expense of repairing the breaches will be very considerable, but it will not fall upon the, con tractors. THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR.—We learn that the statement of the retirement of the Count de St. Aulaire from the post of Ambassador to the Court of St. James's is confirmed. His Excellency, at his own express de sire, retires from the fatigues of public affairs to the enjoyment of private life. We regret it, knowing the high estimation in which his Excellency is held in Lon don by all who have the honour of his acquaintance. It will be a difficult task to replace him by a diplomatist so eminently formed to command universal friendship and respect, both towards himself and the nation he has so ably represented. We le arn th a t C ount d e S t . Aulaire is expected in Paris on Monday or Tuesday next. It does not appear that anythi ng h as yet b een decided on as to his successor, but it is thought pro bable that it may be the Baron de Barante.—Galignani's Messenger. RAILWAY TRAVELLING, AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE HUMAN SYSTEM.—The very important question of the medicinal effect of travelling by railway has lately engaged the attention of the most eminent physicians; and it is some satisfaction to know that those who are said proverbially to disagree are at least in this respect unanimous. Even to the passengers of the third-class, exposed to all the elements, railway travelling has been pronounced the harbinger of health, and the greatest op ponent to disease. Dr. James Johnson, no mean autho rity in these matters, has written in the glowing terms of the advantrges derived; as "if it be a dead calm we cleave through the air as though we were running against a brisk gale—and if the breeze be adverse, we are sailing right in the wind's eye against a furious hurricane. This is the way to undergo a thorough ven tililation—a sanatory purification from the mephitic at mosphere of London, impregnated with all the poisons issuing from Pandora's box, It is in the " main-top" of a flying train like this that we can most effectually take pratique from a London lazzaretto, and disengage from our persons and clothes those noxious vapours that have emanated from at least one hundred millions of living things, besides the inculculable masses of dead animal and vegetable matter in the transit of de composition from a solid to a gaseous form of existence." Rather strong language this : but the assertions are confirmed by everyday experience. He further adds, that the oscillatory motion of the railway carriage is not only more salutary than the swinging. jolting, motion of a stage-coach, but that " it bids fair to be a powerful remedial agent in many ailments to which the metro politan and civic inhabitants are subject ; and that to thousands of valetudinarians a railway ride of twenty miles would prove a means of preserving health and prolonging life more powerful and effectual than all the drugs in Apothecaries' Hall." MR. MACREADY.— We are glad to learn that this distinguished tragedian is recovering from his recent attack of illness. He suffered very much in his journey to London on Monday week; but, under the care of Dr. Elliotson, he has been gradually improving, and was able, on Monday evening last, to preside over the gene ral theatrical fund dinner ; though this effort, we regret to learn, threw him back a little. The latest accounts of him are, that he is again improving, and he will, in all probability, be in Manchester this day week to fulfil his engagement.—Manchester Guardian. THE EUTERPEON SOCIETY.—This society gave its ninth concert last evening, at the City Lecture Theatre , , Milton-street. The entertainment consiste d of ta2 divisions of Haydn's Seasons—" Spring" and "Sunmer, and a selection of miscellaneous music, including the whole of Locke's music to Macbeth. The rapid progress this society has made, considering the short time it has been established, was manifest in the precision with which the various choral pieces were executed, mare particularly in the oratorio, and which, from the applause bestowed upon them. were appreciated by the crowded audience. The professionals engaged were Alin Sara o ßl ab is i s y T ac h q o u rn i t t t o e n d , t h D e l r m . s li e levnens aannadmD, e i r r eF. severally Smtb &c., e F n l er we e r d h, during the evening.

M an y, w h o are fired for the o ff ence, escape punishment a l together (with the exception of arresting, a detention, and taking before a magistrate), as magistrates will net, if the fine be not paid, order a placing in the stocks, for obvious reason. The law should be penalty and costs, and, on non- payment, either distraint on goods, and committal for want of distress, or commit ment without issuing distraint warrant. By this means, numbers who will otherwise get rid of penalty-paying, will fin.i punishment dealt out to them. The remains of the deceased Lord Safe and Sele are to be removed to day for interment in the family vault at Broughton Castle, Oxfordshire. Lord Say and Sele, cousin of the deceased nobleman, and Sir Culling Eardley Smith will attend the obsequies. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE MINISTRY.-We are informed that all the members of the Cabinet are expected to assemble in town on Monday next. We regret to announce the death of the Right Hon. Joseph Planta, which took pl ace on M on d ay last - at his house at Fairlight, Sussex, in the 60th year of his age. Mr. Planta was the Son of the late Joseph Planta. F.R.S., a native of Switzerland, who long domiciliated in England, became at length Librarian to the British Museum, and Secretary to the Royal Society. His son, Mr. Joseph Planta, early en ered life as a Precis Writer in the Foreign (Mice, and at length became Under Se cretary for Foreign Affairs, which place he filled for neatly ten years. lie accompanied the late Marquis of Londonderry, as private secretary, to the Congresses of Paris, Vienna, and Aix-la-Chapelle, and was much trusted by that nobleman, to whom his attainments as linguist and publicist stood in good steed. From May, 1827, to November, 1830, Mr. Planta was one of the joint Secretaries of the Treasury, and though he never took a prominent part in the business of the House, as Member for Hastings, for which borough he sat in the Parliaments of 1826 and 1837, yet he was known to of ficial men and to Members generally as a most able, in structed, and capable man. For the last seven years his health had been most wretched, and his death, though sudden, was not unexpected, for his physicians had long pronounced that it might happen at any mo ment. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.— The first spring meet ing was held yesterday afternoon at the rooms in Re gent- street, when there was a very large show of the most interesting horticultural novelties of the season. The chair was taken by Dr. Henderson. The best of the flowers were in the orchidaceous plants, which were very numerous. The prizes awarded were the silver Knightian medal, to Messrs. Loddige, of Hackney, for a collection of six orchidaceous plants; Banksian medals, to Mr. Henderson, of Pineapple-place, Mr. Roilison, of Tooting, and Mr. Donald, for similar plants; and certi ficates of merit to Mr. Thorpe for apples, and Mr. Davis and Mr. Gleudinning for plants.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT TIIE NEW HOUSE OF LORDS —Yesterday evening, an accident, which termi nated fatally, occurred to a lad named William Quick, aged fifteen years, who was employed at the new House of Lords. The deceased was on the top scaffold, in the act of lowering a pulley, when, by some means a chain attacked to a crane struck him on the head, and preci pitated him to the ground. He was picked up in a senseless state, and carried to the Westminster Hospital, where be was found to be quite dead. TUESDAY. The stewards not having thought it requisite to pre pose any new stakes in addition to the standing engage ments, the list fur this day's sport presented an unpre tending total of three races, of which the one, i, e., the Newmarket Handicap, alone excited any interest. A wet night was followed by a fine day, and the company in consequence, swollen by fresh arrivals by the morning trains to Chesterford, was more numerous than on Monday, still, however, below the average. The ball opened at half-past two, with the Tuesday's Riddles. worth; this and the next stake having been brought to lan issue, an interval of one hour was allowed, and at four o'c lock a larger field than we had calculated on were brought to the post, and in due course the judge's fiat passed a stake worth upwards of 1,1001. to the account of the Honourable Member for Dublin. The winner has since been named " Claremont,". The fol lowing is a brief report of the running:— The Riddlesworth Stakes of 200 Soya. each, h ft, for the Produce of Mares covered in 1843. D,M.

This day, being the commencement of the Newmarket Craven Meeting, led many persons to expect that these annual races would this, their fifth year, be shorn of a great portion of those celebrated sporting charac• ters who, upon every former occasion, have taken part in the sports and pastimes of a Windsor steeple-chase. Although the attractions at Newmarket caused the ab sence of several who had heretofore been present, yet in point of numbers the steeple-chases of 1847 were quite as well attended as they have been during the past sea sons. No exertions have been spared by the stewards to render the sport as attractive as usual ; and, we may add, Mr. J. Thompson, the indefatigable clerk of the course, upon whose shoulders have rested the carrying out the whole of the admirable arrangements, has ex erted himself for several weeks past most industriously to render himself deserving of the thanks of the stewards and the public. The attempt which was made by a Rev. Gentleman of Windsor (the Rev. Mr. Gould, the assistant curate) to put a stop to the sport, by endea_.- vouring to obtain signatures to a document for its aboli tion, not only most signally flailed, but induced those who were in its favour (nut only in Windsor, but else where) to redouble their exertions to promote and add to the subscriptions, and thus increase the value of the various stakes to be run for on each day. A great number of carriages were on the ground, filled with elegantly dressed females, and the grand and other stands had their fair complcn - rent of visitors. Amongst those who were present were the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Drumlanrig, the Earl of Strath more, Lord B. Cecil, Sir Edward Poore, Colonel Mickle th waite, Colonel Phillips, R. Clifton, Esq., the lion. G. Noel, Viscount Neville, Captain William Peel, Major Ogilvie, Captain Broadley, Captain Gambier, Captain Rushbrook, Captain Walpole, Captain Weston, Sir H. Burgess, Captain Harford, W. IL Wells, Esq., A. W. Tollemache, Esq., Captain Stanford, T. H. Clifton, Esq., A. M. Alleyne, Esq., M,jor Mountjoy Martin, Captain Bulkeley, R. Sutton, Esq., Sir J. Brown, D. Millie, Esq., G. W. Walker, Esq., kc. The line of country selected by the stewards (the Mar quis of Worcester, Viscount Drumlanrig, Major Mount joy Martin, A. W. Tollemache, E,q., 2d Life Guards, and T. H. Clifton, Esq.,) was as follows:—The starts took place near the paling of the Great Park, between Sheet street and Spital-road, with a long run to the first fence (a stiff hedge on a bank, with a ditch on the taking off side), over a moderate fence into Bone-lane, several loads of straw and manure being laid down in the lane for the security of the horses, and to prevent the chance of an accident. A open fence led out of the lane through a garden into a grass field, over a good fence, into Mr. Thompson's paddock, and another leading into the winning field, passing in front of the grand stand, over a flight of bush,d hurdles, which were removed fur the run in. The next WAS an easy fence on to the first brook, 12 feet aide, with an artificial four-feet fence on the taking-off side, into a large field, in which was placed a flight of posts and rails, over a couple of good leaps into another part of Bone-lane, where similar precautions had been taken by laying down straw to pre vent mishaps. The course then continued out of the lane, through a small field, over two close fences into the turning field, with another rasper into the starting field, on to the second brook of between ten and eleven feet wide, with a four-feet fence on the taking-off side, crossing Spital-road into Captain Bulkeley's park, at Clewer, where a circle of nearly half a mile was made, over two ferret s; again crossing the Spital-road on to the " Big brook" in Mr. Dyson's field, with fifteen:feet of water to clear, and an artificial fence of about four feet on the taking-off side.

SUGAR.—A further decline has taken place in the value of both free and slave labour, the home demand being on the decrease, and the shipping orders in the market at present being unimportant. The deliveries for all purposes, however, continue to be upon a large scale, and greater than last year. Prices are 2s to 3s per cwt lower than they were at that time, but the stock is nearly as large, and the quality is fine. The public sales announced to take place are important. There is yet a large quantity to arrive from all quarters. West India Muscovado met with little attention from grocers or refiners on Wednesday and Thursday, although mer chants were free sellers, and submitted to a reduction on previous rates of REPINED.—The home trade have operated in Refined goods with caution since this day week. The supply is on the increase, and prices declining. The consumption is, however, going on, largely exceeding that of last season, and likely so to continue. The refiners are de sirous to realise, as they are obtaining satisfactory rates. MA.VRITIUS.—Thero has been little desire evinced to operate in refining or in grocery description, although there are sellers rather under former rates. None has been offered at public sale since our last report, but the large quantity of 10,000 bags is announced. There are further arrivals, and the stock is much greater than it was at this time in 1846; the deliveries, however, con tinue upon a large scale, and far exceed those of any other sort of sugar, and it is yet the cheapest. EAST INDlA.—Bengal has been operated in with caution, and the rates taken have been rather under those that existed previously, there being a fair quantity on offer. For Penang the inquiries have been limited, and late rates cannot even be obtained. COCHINEAL.—The deliveries are far exceeding those of the previous season, whilst the stock is less, but prices are above those of that time, especially for the better qualities. By private contract only a small amount of business has been transacted since this day week, and rather lower rates have been accepted. For public sale 100 serous are declared. FORElGN.—Privately there has been little passing in any kind of Foreign Sugar for home consumption, and prices are on the decline. At public sale 762 baskets 948 mats and 4 bags Java, duty paid, were all disposed of, but at a reduction on former prices of 2s for white and the superior kinds of yellow ; the decline on brown and inferior yellow amounted, however, to only is per cwt. AtoLassza.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in any sort of West India, and prices are on the decline. For fine Antigua 24s 6d have been accepted. The value of low Molasses is 20s to 21s. At public sale 60 puns new middling Antigua Molasses were sold at the reduced rates of 21s 6d to 22s per cwt. COFFEE.—Although the inferior descriptions of West India can be obtained rather under previous rates, still few purchases have been made by private contract. Middling and superior sorts are held for the former cur rency; but the contracts concluded have been of little consequence. None at present has been submitted to public competition; and the stock is much less than it was last year; but arrivals of the new crops are near at hand. The deliveries are falling off; and other sorts of Coffee are lower in price than West India. There is every probability of the importation ex ceeding that of 1846, and of the quality being finer. East India, suitable for home consumption, fur ther declined in value, although the quantity brought to market has not been large ; but the trade have been cautious in their operations. Shipping sorts are not to be obtained upon lower terms ; but the orders are fall ing off. No increase, however, has taken place in the supply. The importation of all sorts, it is expected, will exceed that of the previous season. The amount of business transacted by private contract in Plantation Cey lon has been to a small extent only, upon rather lower terms. Mocha has been operated in with caution by pri vate treaty, although there are sellers upon rather lower terms, the stock being considerably less than last season, and the consumption greater. None has been submitted to public competition. Java is not much wanted; but holders are not inclined to reduce their prices. Foreign Coffee has been purchased with caution by the home trade, and there are few export orders. Prices are on the decline, there being a large stock, especially of the better descriptions. one has been offered at auction since our last report. COCOA.—The market having been better supplied with Trinidad, a fall in the value to the extent of 2s to 4s per cwt has taken place ; the demand, however, has been good, and the parcels offered at auction were all sold, and amounted to 1,203 bags of the new crop. TEA.—The arrivals have been upon a larg e sca l e since this day week, amounting to 27,000 packa ges ; whereas, during that period, duty was paid on 446,4961b5. The deliveries at all the ports this year are exceeding those of the previous one. The stock of black is not quite so heavy as it was at this time in 1846 ; but of green it is greater. All sorts are lower in price than they were at that period ; none has been offered at auction since this day week. The purchases made in black have been to a small ex- Price ~~ 1 S -- .

Sin,—l take up my pen to lay before you a few facts respecting an unjust periccription to 'which I find myself subjected on board the sieam-ship Cambria, to sail from this port at ten o'clock to-morrow morning, for Boston, United States. On the 4th of March last, in company with George Moxbay,Esq., of the Hall of Coounerce, London,l called upon Mr. Ford, the London agent of the Cunard line of steamers, for the purpose of securing a passage en board the steam ship Cambria to Boston, United States. On inquiring the amount of the passage, I was told 401. 19s. I inquired further, if a second-class past age could be obtained? He answered, No; there was tot one fare, all distinctions having been abolished. I Olen gave him 40/. 195., and received from him in return ti ticket entitling me to berth No. 72, on board the aeam ship Cambria, at the same time asking him, if my colour would prove any barrier to my enjoying all the rights and privileges enjoyed by other passengers ? He said, No ; I then left the office, supposing all well, and thought nothing more of the matter until this morning, when, in company with a few friends, agreeably to public notice, I went on board the Cambria with my luggage, and on inquiring for my berth, found, to my surprise and mor.. tification, that it had been given to another passenger, and was told that the agent in London had acted - without authority in selling me the ticket. I expressed my sur prise and disappointment to the captain, and in quired what I had better do in the matter. Ile suggested my accompanying him to the office of the agent in Water-street, Liverpool, for the pur pose of ascertaining what could be done. On stating the fact of my having purchased the ticket of the Lon don agent, Mr. M•lver (the Liverpool agent) answered that the London agent, in selling me the ticket, had acted without authority, and that I should not go on board the ship unless I agreed to take my meals alone and not mix with the saloon company, and give up the berth for which I had paid. Being without legal remedy, and anxious to return to the United States, I have felt it due to my own rights as a man, as well as to the honour and dignity of the British public, to lay these facts be fore them, well knowing that the British public will pro nounce a just verdict on such proceedings. I have travelled in this country nineteen months and have always enjoyed equal rights and privileges with other passengers, and it was not until I turned my face towards America, that I met with anything like pro scription on account of my colour.—Yours respectfully, FREDERICK DOUGLASS. MR. GEORGE GALE'S NEW BALLOON.—The first ascent of this balloon, to which is attached two cars for the purpose of making observations and experiments, was announced to take place yesterday, at the Rosemary Branch Tavern, Peckham, when Mr. Gale was to de scend from one car to the other while in mid-air, and fire a mortar as a feu de joie. The ascent was fixed for half-past four o'clock, and the process of inflation com menced at eleven. At three o'clock it was discovered that only 10,000 feet of gas had entered the balloon, the quantity required being from 35,000 to 40,000, and the agents of the Metropolitan Gas Company, who had con tracted to supply the gas, announced that it would be impossible to till it before half -past six, and to effect that it would be necessary in some way to lessen the pressure of the balloon. Scaffolding poles were accordingly obtained, and the head of the balloon raised by ropes, so as to give the gas greater ascending power. This had no sooner been dune than by some means a portion of the silk at tached to the hoop of the valve—it is supposed in conse quence of the strain of one of the ropes upon it—slipped, and caused a slight escape of gas. Instant means were taken to re-adjust the slip, which was effected in a few minutes, and Mr. Gale expressed his determination to ascend, no matter what the hour at which the operation of inflation should be completed. But, alas for human resolves! at this moment, about a quarter to four, and there being only 11,800 feet of gas in the balloon, the gas company announced that they could not supply any more without leaving their Greenwich customers in the dark. Under these circumstances Mr. Gale had no course left him but to submit, and the large concourse of persons assembled to witness the ascent were informed that it must be delayed until to-morrow (this day), when the inflation is to commence at eight o'clock in the morning. Tickets were given to the assembled com pany for admission to day, when Mr. Gale feels every confidence of being enabled to fulfil his engagement to the company. EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS IN ONE DAY.—In the course of )ester: ay (Easter Tuesday) the followin g extraordinary and tearful accidents cceurred in various parts of the metropolis, and several of w hich, it is feared, from the nature of the injuries inflicted, will be attended with fatal consequences. The first happened to a man named Thomas Thomas, aged twenty-three, residing at 78, Castle -street, Leicester-square, who, about eleven in the forenoon, in proceeding along Rupert street, Haymarket, in a tipsy state, slipped off the pavement and fell into the road with such force as to fracture his arm, besides sustaining a severely lace_ rated wound of the scalp; he was taken by police con stable 59 of the C division, to the Charing-cross Hos pital, and placed under the care of Mr. Steghall, the house surgeon, who gives but little hopes of his recovery. The second accident occurred to James 'Jones, aged nineteen, living at a priuter's in the neighbourhood of St. Martin's-lane, who got his hand so se verely jammed in the machinery whilst in ope ration, that two of his fingers on the right hand are completely cut ofF, and upon being removed to the above hospital it was considered that the process of amputation must be resorted to in order to prevent gangrene taking place. The third accident was taken to the same institntion, and happened to a lad about twelve years old, named Joseph Orwood, living with his friends at No. 67, Hart-street, Covent-garden. It appears that the unfortunate youth was in the attic, making some squibs and other pyrotechnic articles. when a quantity of gunpowder suddenly exploded, and in a moment his face was completely disfigured, besides his hands being shattered in the most frightful manner ; in fact, he has received such injuries as to leave no hopes of his recovery. About three o'clock in the afternoon a frightful occurrence took place in the Goswell-road to a female child, about two years old, named Field, living with its friends at 7, Tyler's-row, St, John-street-road. The little creature was with two more children at play, on the spot where some new houses are in the course of erection, when a heavy piece of timber suddenly fel l at once upon her left leg, and smashed, s which presented w nte a d s a r s e li m oc e k v i e n d g specta cle, being literally sm to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, when Mr. Lloyd, one of the principal surgeons of the institution, immediately performed the process of amputation. But little or no hopes are entertained of her recovery. An accident of a distressing character was admitted into the University College Hospital, the patient being a middle-aged man, named John Sewers, who, in endeavouring to cross Tot tenham -court-road, just by the New-road, came in con tact with an omnibus, and was thrown down with such violence as to cause a 'spinal fracture and other serious injuries. He remains in a dangerous state. Accident in Fleet- street.—Between five and six in the evening, an elderly female, respectably attired, was in the act of crossing the road, at the bottom of Chancery-lane, when she was knocked down by a cab horse, driven at a furious pace. The unfortunate creature was conveyed into a neighbouring surgeon's, and it was found she had broken her arm, and received other injuries. The driver continued his pace, and escaped. HEARING or CASES IN THE NEW COUNTY COURTS. —As " ignorance of law excuseth no man," it is neces sary. that the public should be made acquainted with th e provisions of the New County Courts Act. The Act itself contains as many as 143 sections, and their sub 3tance will be remembered when condensed under se parate heads. It is provided by the Act and the rules, that, on the day named in the summons, the plaintiff is to appear, and thereupon the defendant to appear to answer the plaint, and on answer being made in Court, the judge is to proceed to give judgment. No evidence is to be given by the plaintiff on the trial except such as stated in the summons served. The High Bailiff is to make a list of the summonses served, and the same is to be exhibited in the office of the Court. There is a pro vision in this Act which gives power to the judge of the Court to commit a defendant to prison at the hearing, and of making an order, as he might have done in case the plaintiff had obtained a summons on an unsatisfied judgment. The Legislature having intrusted the judges of the new Courts with such power, the Lord Chancellor selected those who would temper " justice with mercy. A baker of Berne, in Switzerland, has succeeded in making very palatable bread from Iceland moss. It , results from a scientific examination of this bread that out of 102 parts, it contains 441 of fecula or nutritive matter. Bread made chiefly of potatoes is said to con taie only 15 in the 100 parts of nutritive matter.—Ga lignane LONGEVITY AT P AILSWORTH.—There are at present living at Wrigley Ilcad, Failsworth, three brothers and a sis:er, whose united ages amount to 311 years. Mr. Evan Evans, of Liverpool, attended as a juror a coroner's inquest, on Monday, and on that evening dropl,d down dead in the street. The Agricultural Society of Toulouse has pro posed a prize of a gold medal, worth 350 f., to any rower of silkworms who shall have produced the beet results on some improved system, with at least 150 grammes of eggs.
