Pk o j '-aSt Week the arrivals of all articles of home „ e arriiip 'Qr our market, coastwise as well as by land of 44d sample, were on a very limited scale. From but f ro - ttnd Scotland scarcely any grain came to hand, ee whek.abroad we received upwards of 44,000 quarters t atlr. a i l ' 51,0n0 quarters of Oats, and 17,000 barrels of kale. ;if other grain t` e imports were on a moderate other .rum Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, and our t NA wheat growing districts, the arrivals of Wheat tost Up this morning ware again limited, and pr,t4,l:taPrt out of cendition, from the grain having been for the wets re o IY thzeshed.

She recollecten that he was found guilty of sending a packet of oxalic acid to a young woman, and that there were two other charges against him, in one of which Miss Spriggs was a party, but it was not tried. He was in the habit of reading novels. Mr. BRIERY.—He was in the habit of reading stories about young ladies being carried off by young men into caverns.—(Laugh ter.) The RECORDER.—ReaIIy we cannot have the contents of the hooks read.—(Laughter). The RRCORDER summed up, and explained the law. It was for them to say whether the prisoner sent the letter with a malicious intention or not. They would recollect that no issue of insanity was set up. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. - The former conviction was proved. Mr. Chanceller stood forward to recommend the pH. soner to the mercy of the Court. The RECORDER—On what ground ? Mrs. Chancellor replied, ou the ground that the pri soner was nearly the sole support of his widowed mother ; and because his father had been killed on the railway. The RECORDER in an appropriate address, sentenced the prism-er to twelve months' hard labour in the House of Correction, and to be once publicly whipped—" To show," said the Learned Recorder, " the sort of person you are. That is the end of the notoriety which you have sought—contempt and ridicule ! The contempt and ridicule of your neighbours ; for you will be pub licly, disgracefully, flogged like a felon." The prisoner was removed shedding repentant tears. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Michael Doring, described on the charge sheet as a printer, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with robbing his furnished lodgings. Mary Ellen Langluis stated that she resided with her mother, at No. 25, Cumberland - street. The prisoner and a female, who passed as his wife , occupied a fur nished room in their house. On Saturday night last witness missed a dress from an adjoining room to that occupied by the prisoner, and having her suspicions that he had taken it, she gave him into custody. Whilst the prisoner and the female were at the station, com plainant's mother entered the prisoner's room, and found the bed stripped of every article of covering. Subsequently the prisoner returned from the station, when on being taxed with the robbery, he immediately admitted it, and said if they would forgive him he would restore all the property. She made no reply to his request, but gave him into custody. Police-constable 149 E, said he took the prisoner into custody about ten o'clock on Saturday night. On searching the room he occupied in complainant's house, he found a number of duplicates, relating to varit us articles of bed clothing pledged at different pawnbrok. rs, some in the name of the prisoner, and others in the name of the female whom he was living with. The prisoner, who did not neny the charge, was remanded. THE SUN, LON'D►ON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1847. has been found almost impracticable to assemble a jury of twelve, and it is now proposed to legalise a jury of three. This measure, if carried out, will be a bold but justifiable innovation on time•honoured prejudices. " A notification has appeared in the Gazette an ouncing that henceforth imported salt may be bonded in private warehouses licensed by the controlling Board. The state of commercial matters is anything but cheering. With the exception of rice, which is in great demand, all heavy articles of export are entirely out of demand, partly in consequenc e of the unfavour able news brought by the mail of the 7th cf May, and partly from the exorbitant rate of freights which are quoted at 101. per ton. The mcney market is still excessively tight. Exchange is quoted at 2s. Oid. to 2s. Oid. for ten months' bills. " The abundance of rain during the past month has not been favourable to the Indigo crop, which cannot now be expected to rise above the average, unless, indeed, fine weather in this month should im prove its chances. " The weather in Calcutta has been seasonable and pleasant, frequent and sometimes very heavy showers, with a moderate temperature. The fall of rain regis tered during the past month was 12.01 inches. At Bombay there fell in one day, the 12th ult., not less than 13i inches I " The English mail of the 7th of May came in on the lath inst. ; that of the 24th may be looked for immediately." 4,500 maunds or 5,000 maunds finding its way to the English markets, which will be a very short supply compared with that of the two past years, which were for seasons 1845-1846, 19,100 maunds, and 1846-1847, 15,227 maunds. _ Oil Seeds—We have not heard of a single purchase having been made in any description of goods under this head for the English market, the continued high ruline: of freights having apparently acted as a complete check to operations. The Americans and French have been in the market, and both linseed and mustard seed have maintained their price, and for the former a slight ad vance is being paid for superior cleaned lots. Hides—Transactions in this staple have, during the past month, been almost. suspended for the British mar ket, and prices of such descriptions as are adapted for that market may be considered as merely nominal. Some of the shipments gone forts ard on account of natives are said to contain very inferior quality of hides, which, it is feared, will not repay the sums advanced. The Ameri cans in the early part of the month made several pur chases of cow hides, but have lately confined themselves to buffalo hides. For France very little has been bought. The stock here is now very large, and will be further in creased by the large quantities now on their way from the provinces. Opium—The public sale of opium, which took place ou the lith ultimo, exhibits the following result : Chests. highest. Lowest. Average. Proceeds. Patna 1,690 1.315 1,290 1,300 12 6 21,95.325 Benares 715 1,260 1,250 1,253 6 9 8,96.200 Since the above sale prices have a little rallied, and we now quote Patna opium 1,290 rs., Benares, 1,245. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods.—We have again to report a quiet market for nearly all descriptions of goods under this head, the sales of the month being principally con fined to the demand for local consumption, the demand for the upcountry marts generally felt at this season of the year not having yet taken place, the greater amount of sales reported have been in low gray shirtings, which continue inquired after, being light in stock ; the better sorts can only be passed off by impor ters submitting to a - decline on the low prices ruling previously, which in some instances has been done, and considerable parcels have found buyers. The lower descriptions of bleached shiitings have also been sold to some extent, but the finer sorts cannot be placed except at a considerable sacrifice. Grey MadapallanF of low qualitie tire saleable, but b , tier sorts are neglected; whites are also difficult of sale. Low grey jaconets have met with a ready sale, in some in stances a slight advance on former rates, but in these, as in nearly all cloth, the finer sorts have been neglected, and are difficult of sale unless at a sacrifice ; there is a slight inquiry for the finer threads of bleached, the stuck of which sort is light. Cokured and Printed Goods—There continues to be a slight demand experienced for thes•• goods, hut the stripes, Th esor w t , s hich principallyhive be e i [tin placed to a considerab l e ex tent at, for common, 2r, 84. pier piece, • 1 p u r prices - o b fur t alt a t e r d e are it w d for better sorts 3 r., for wh , ch there is a end ii,quiry. Most ot h e r descri p tions are ne g lected, and can only be forced o f b y a h ea v y sacrifice bein g very Bengallo. submitted tc. Turkey red cloths, both plain aid printed, meet with a ready sale at remunerating rates. Woollens—Our market for these goods has been un• usually dull at this season of the year, which is gene rally looked on as the briskest, and sales can only be effected by importers submitting to a discount of 15 to 25 per cent. on invoice. Mule Twist—Holders having shown more disposition to reduce their stocks by submitting to a slight decline on former rates, sales to a considet able extent have been made, consisting principally of No. 40. Coloured Yarn—There has been a slight improvement in the demand for German dye Turkey red, which has been placed to some extent at Ir. Ba. per lb. Sales are also reported of English dye at Ir. 4a. per lb., but the latter is in moderate demand. In other colours we have not heard of any transactions. Beer—A large sale et Allsopp's brand has taken place at 7Ors. per hhd., which figure importers were induced to accept on account of the extent of the purchase, say 1,500 hhds.; since which, however, they have shown no anxiety to sell, and prices may be quoted at 80rs. per hhd. In Bass's, considerable sales were made at 85rs., but in order to close a shipment 80rs. was accepted for a small parcel on hand. Metals—We have little, if any, improvement to notice in the position of our market for metals, it being still seriously affected by the continued pressure on our money market, and the difficulty the bazaar merchants expe• rience in disposing of their sugars. Copper has been placed to a moderate extent; sheathing may be quoted at 37r. 4a., and slab at 30 per md., and tile at Sa. Rs. 33-4 per md. In speller we have heard of but few transac tions, holders being firm, owing to the lightness of stocks; some small sales are, however, reported at Ct. Rs. 10 3 per md. Iron has been in rather better inquiry, sales of flat, bar, and bolt having been made at Rs. 3-8 per red., and sheet has been sold to arrive at Rs. 6-2; hoop may be quoted at 5-14 to 6, at which figure it is readily saleable, stocks of this kind being light. Salt—Government, by a public notification, announced the new modifications in the rules for bonding salt. A portion of the Government Golahs on the opposite side of the river will be available at a fixed rent for bonding imported salt, but parties desirous of bonding it in pri vate warehouses will be permitted to do so upon a fa vourable report of the collector of customs and the is to' be 4..,vie Salt Board. The rate of wastage allowed the ship's side, but the impoit duty "4111 — t3 'NitieB`N: the quantity so delivered. All expenses attendant on receipt, storage, custody, and delivery at warehouses so licensed, are to be defrayed by parties bonding. The total bonding rules of the 28th of September, 1841, will continue to govern the practice in all cases in which the new warehouses are not concerned, or where license is not granted. We trust that these facilities afforded by Government will give a new impulse to the impor tation of salt from England, though under present cir cumstances the advantage now gained seem. more ima Binary than practical. Exchange—The fluctations which have prevailed in the rates of Exchange since our la-t report, have bt en checked by the falling off in the remittances from home and the impossibility of shipping predate to Europe for want of available tornage. Buyers have, therefore, been forced into the market, and the bulk of the trans actions for the present mail may be qu ,, ted at 2s. per rupee for six months, sight drafts ; amid from 2,. Off. to 2s.

Our London advices to the 7th of May were not calculated to mend matters, for whilst commercial affairs at home remained in such an unsettled state, any improvement could hardly be ex pected in our mat ket. The unsatisfactory report, there fore, weich we must now proceed to give, wel be a mat ter of but little surprise to our friends at home, though as regards our import trade, some improvement might have been looked tor, considering the low prices current here for most stap!es compared with their actual ccee, as also in consequence of the advance d period of the season. which, owing to the opening of the river navigation, has for past years always been characterised by censiderable animation in the exchange of European and Indian come modifies. This circumstance can navy be aceeueted for by ihe great pressure in the money market, anti the high rates of freights current, which render meet of our staples almost un-aleaule, whilst the naive dealers, de pending for funds upon the sale of their produce, are thus prevented from making their annual purchases of European manufactures. Our money market continues still very tight, and the bank maintain their highest rates of interest and dis count; we are, however, hapey to say that the home accounts have not had the effect upon our monetary matters which might have been anticipated, and, though accommodation continues in much request, a better feel ing seems to exist, which has given to Government secu rities a tendency to a slight advance. Exchange on England has somewhat fluctuated. On the Bth ult. our quotations were 2s. Old. to 2s. Oid. per rupee, for ten months' date, and about 2s. ior six months' sight bills, bus l rincipally owing to the falling off in the remittances by Treasury draughts (those by the Had dington only amounting to about 97,0001.) these rates could not be maintained; and, ere the closing of the express, business was done at an advance of about 2 per cent. On the receipt of the mail of the 7th of May the rates again became unsettled; and, notwithstanding that the amount of remittances was even more moderate than by the previous opportunity, the impossibility of making returns in produce, owing to the scarcity of tonnage, forced buyers into the market, and our rates may now be quoted at 2s. for six months' sight bills, and 2s. Odd. to 2s. Oid. for those of ten months' date. An almost unprecedented inactivity, for the season,l has prevailed in our produce markets, and the transac tions appear to have been mostly limited to rice; for the high rates of freight, which the large shipments of that article has kept up, precluded extensive operations in any of the other bulky staples, whilst the other more valuable produce, which can comparatively bear higher freight, is chiefly such as is most affected in the home markets by the prevailing distress and tightness of money there. The transactions in imports have been on a very mo derate scale, but little inquiry being as yet manifested for the upper provinces. Considering the present scarcity of money—the uncertainty as to pecuniary relief—and the limited demand for produce, all of which seem likely , to continue for sonic time to come, it is difficult to fix on any definite period for a favourable reaction in the pre sent state of affairs, particularly so when the nfaitimial shipments to arrive within the next two months, which will add considerably to our present stock, are taken into consideration. e...rkireascetteneedeettecinntrifeetie'o3 hee'ettb&ekeeThe Refls and the great scarcity of shipping in our river still con tinuing, freights have been steadily advancing, and we may now quote our rates as follows:-91. los. to 91. 15s. for sugar and rice, at which almost all vessels here, and expected to arrive, have been taken up. Under these circumstances we do not see any possibility of a mate rial decline taking place soon, particularly as the large quantities of produce rapidly accumuletirg in the bazaar must eventually find their way to Europe, whilst the ,hipping lists from England show comparatively but few vessels bound to India. We have to notice the total loss of the Roberts, which vessel was Mara to the water's edge, off Saugor, esn the 29th ult. She was bound to China, and the prin cipal portion of her cargo consisted of about 3,700 bales of cotton, and 1,150 bags of saltpetre. Crew saved. Itafigo—ln our last issue of the Bth ultimo we stated that at that time prospects were for a full average crop. We now regret, for the sake of our planter iriends, to be obliged to report continued heavy rain P over nearly every district in Bengal. In Jessore , where the sowings were somewhat late, we fear it has d one irreparable injury, and few, it any, of the planter s in that district are likely to tur n ou t more than la st year. In Dacca, Mymensing, p u b na , an d Rajahye, they had a splendid show of plant, b ut h ave suffered equally from the heavy rain, and within the the rivers have been rising with unusual rapidity , and much of the plant had been d estroye d, p a rticularly in the two first-named district s . Ki s h nag bur has been more fortunate, and chiefly ; at the southern parts , the land being high, and c onsequently better ab le to bear the heavy rains; to the north war d, however, and to wards Jungypore, the ; past eight day s prospects are i n different. From Bhaugulpore also our account s are b a d, the greater par t of the low lands having been c om pletely swamped, and none of the planters look forward to an average se ason under the most favourable circumstances. .Poorneah has also suffered from the same cause; some con cerns in Maldah will do pretty well, but it is doubtful if a n y of them will make a large season. The accounts from Tir hoot are diversified; from some parts we hear o f con stant heavy rains injuring the plane—from others, that l i they are suffering from drought, whilst at more fortu nate concerns prospects continue good. In Benares and the north-west provinces they had commenced sowing, and much will depend upon the state of the weather during the next twenty days, but as yet the expectations of the planters are good. Upon the whole, we think that there is no reason to anticipate a larger crop than an average one, under the most favourable circumstances, while a return of bad d s w we ith wea ther may make it less. For the last showers of rain, and we trust the same has extended to the interior. Sugar—Our market is at prese nt well supplied with few alternate day have had in Calcutta fine sunny weather , the new Benares sorts, which have found purchasers to a limited extent at Br. 12a. to 9r. ea. for the finer descrip tions, but the demand is far from active, caused by the high ruling of tonnage for England, Her do we see any prospect of improvement, unles s holders submit very considerable decline in orde r to com p ensate for the to a high freights which shippers are obliged to pay, and of this there is little probability, as the present prices are lower than they have been for a length of time.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCZ# PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 22.—1 t is a long time since we had any occ as i on t o fi n d f au lt w ith the besONCal, of Admiralty favours, and we had hoped a more partial era had dawned on the administration of naval affair. when the present First Lord was appointed to office. It is with extreme regret ..e find ourselves mistaken in our supposition, as the two promotions which head the list below exemplify. We know nothing of Captain Broun or Captain Clifford person. ally, and the world is equa'ly ignorant of the services they may have performed to have entitled them to be promoted over the heads of so many other deserving men. They may be good officen—assuredly are very fortunate ones— but where promotion can only he obtained by death vacancies, certainly some more dis crimination than has been evinced in th e cases under notice ought to guide the naval Cominancier - in - Chief in his bestowal of rewards. As parallels .to the two cases allud , d to, we will just instance two t:nfertos mites on the per contra side of Fortune's day- look. Commander William it Acliffe (1830) of the Ap,;110 troop-ship, refitting iii els harbour, and Commande: Arthur Morrell (1823) late of, the Tortoise store and guard ship at, and Governor of ,the I.lend of Ascen sion. The former is a lieutenant of 1816, the latter a lieutenant of 1809. In neither of the official re sources at the public disposal are any services what. ever recorded of either Of the officers yesterday promoted from the rank of commander to that of captain. Now look at the per contra cases :—Commander Radcliffe entered the service in 1809, served all the war ; was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant for his gallantry at Algiers; served in the Tyne under Captain Goss. don T. Falcon; in the Hind, under the Hon. Captain Rous ; in the Marten, Captain Henry Eden (now private secretary to the Fiat Lord of the Admiralty); and in the Undaunted, under Sir A. W. Clifford ; in the two latter as First Lieutenant. He was promoted to the rank of Commander in 1830 ; has since been very actively employed in the Apollo in various parts of the globe, particularly at Monte Video, where the Apollo landed her guns and her crew (in conjunction with the crews of the Eagle and French steamer Ga aendi) by throwing tip a battery, and defending the east point of Maldonado for several days against G strong force of Oribe's army. He (Commander Rad cliffe) also received a letter from the Lords of the- Admiralty, stating that they had recorded his services in bringing the Apollo safely out of Waterloo Bay, Cape of Good Hope, after losing all her anchors, in consequence of tremendous " rollers" setting in ; the ship, at the time, having her Majesry's 73d Regi ment on board. He still, we believe, remains the Senior Commander actively employed afloat. Captain Clifford (promoted yesterday), was a Midshipman in the Undaunted, his first trip to sea, when Comman der Radcliffe was first Lieutenant in the same ship. He (Captain Clifford) appears in the Navy List a Lieutenant on the 7th of May, 1838; and Commander on the 7th of March, 1842 ; and has been a short time in the East Indies as Commander of the 16-gun sloop IVolverine, recently paid off at Chatham. Cap. tain Broun was First-Lieutenant of the same Une daunted in her next commission, after Commander Radcliffe had been promoted; and has served a little more than one year as Commander of the St. Vincent. With regard to Commander Morrell, 1823, the Senior Commander of that year, in the .Nary List, his, if possible, is a more. melanc h oly case than that of the o ffi cer whose claims we have just recapitulated. He was mate of the Polyphemus, and commanded one of her boats at the capture of a privateer off St. Domingo, in NM Was Senior Lieutenant of the Termagant, at the reduction of Genoa, and of the Revolutionaire, and in command of her boats, at the capture of tvi o piratical vessels. He subsequently served in various parts of the world, and was, in De cember, 1844, appointed Governor of Ascension as a permanency, but in less than two years from the date of his appointment to that post was dispossessed of it, and came home in the Hydra steam sloop some months since, after being put to much expense la sending for his wife and family out, and establishing them at Ascension. The Agincourt- flap. of Commander-in-Chief on the China and East India Station, arrived at Spithead at seven o'clock this morning ; Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in- Chief, being absent on leave, and his flag struck, Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., the acting Com mander-in-Chief, who is junior to Rear. Admiral Cochrane, had to salute that officer first, thus revers ing the usual order of that ceremony, although the fl a g (blue) at the mizen of the Agincourt was neces sarily junior to the white one of Rear-Admiral Par ker. This arose from the circumstance of Sir Thomas Cochrane not having rec•ived any official in formation of his promotion from blue to white and from the white to the red squadron of the fleet. As he is now senior officer so lone as he remains at this port, Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker's authority as Commander-in-Chief is superseded. The Agincourt has been in commission five years and seven months, and has of course been employed in all the operations against the Chinese and the pirates of the coast. Five years being the maximum time appointed for a ship's term of commission on a foreign station, many of her crew who have been in her the whole term will receive double pay for the overtime. The ship is in splendid condition internally, but her out appearance resembles that of an immense niercha_n man, on account of her fantastic port streak, relieved Penang on the 14 th of Ap ril, having be 1 by the 0, flag of Rear - Admiral e l_nglefie and arrived at Vernon,'Simon's Bay, Cape of Good H o leaving the President , 50, Ca p tain Stanley, flag . of Admiral Dacres, the Brilliant, 22, Captain Watson, and the Rosamond steam-sloop, Commander Foote, in the bay ; arrived at St. Helena on the 24 th of June, took in water, and sailed on the 28th, leaving the Waterwitch, 8, Commander T.

The Prometheus steam-sloop, of 800 tons and 200 horse-power, Commander J. Hay, arrived at Spithead this afternoon from the coast of Africa station, where she has been employed during the past three years in the suppression of the slave trade. She is 27 days from Goree, 22 from the Gambia, and 35 from Sierra Leone. Commodore Hotham, in the Penelope steam frigate, was at Ascension 14 days before the steamer's leaving Sierra Leo ne .

Wolfe, chief mate, of the Royal West India steam• packet Avon, have obtained first-class master's core tifiCatea to Beamaxiship and navigation.—Times. The political accounts are unimportant, and leave still in doubt the reported appointment of peace corn commissioners by Mexico. The health of the city of Vera Cruz bad been re established. The Governor of Vera Cruz is said to have received information that an attack would be made on that place immediately after the departure of General Pearce. The necessary preparations for an effectual defence had been made by the Governor. Letters from authentic sources have been received at Vera Cruz from the city of Mexico, which posi tively state that Santa Anna is in favour of peace, and is only waiting until the peace party shall ac quire undisputed ascendancy before publicly de claring his sentiments. It was not known at Vera Cruz whether Santa Anna or the Mexican Congress had selected the commissioners to confer with Mr. Trist. Indeed it was not positively known that the Congress had even assembled at all, but it was understood that the peace commissioners were assembled o n the 7th of July, by order of the congressional body. The Sun of Anahuac avers that the commissioners represent thi views of Santa Anna, and therefore draws the corn elusion that the latter is decidedly in favour of the re-establishment of peace between the two Go• vernments. The Fico Iris of the 13th asserts that the commissioners had accepted of their appoint ments, and taken their dep rture for the purpose of discharging the duties entrusted to them. This course, observes the Iris, is approved by a large majority of the most influential men in the republic, and whose exertions, in a great degree, contributed to this result. Santa Anna still remained in power, and no change in his cabinet had occurred. A majority of his ministers were said to be in favour of an immediate adjustment of the difficulties between their own country and the United States of the north. General Pillow arrived at Puebla on the Bth July. Negotiations for peace were under consideration as late as the 11th, up to which time General Scott had not moved towards the capital. The New Orleans Commercial Times states, that a French gentleman at Tampico, who left the capital on the 6th of July, declares that the Mexican Con gress was not in session at that time, and that nothing was known relative to the appointment of commis sioners. The New Orleans Bee represents the accounts from Mexico as conflicting, but those from the most authentic sources indicate a disposition to negotiate. The terms conceded by the United States, however, must, it says, be very liberal. The Great Western was at Tampico. The Spanish steamer Leon, formerly the Mexican Guadeloupe, had left New York for Cadiv. The French steam-ship Philadelphia arrived at New York on the 2d instant, from Cherbourg, after a run of seventeen days. She took out no news of a ate date. Our Canadian accounts are unimportant.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The longest, most brilliant, and most successful season ever recorded in the annals of her Majesty's Theatre, closed on Saturday. The opera was La Sonnambula, with Jenny L'nd as Amina and Gardoni as Elvino—the Amina and the Elvino par excellence of the stage. At the conclusion Jenny Lind was called on, we will not say how often. Since we have seen the furore which Jenny Lind's performance of this character has inva riably excited, we have ceased to consider as fabul ous the accounts we have read of the " doings" of Italian audiences in the way of calling on and bouquet-throwing ; although until the advent of Jenny Lind, we were not inclined to give implicit belief to the stories of artistes, who were called on twenty times in the course of a night. The Pas des Vases was re peated for the last time, and the Deeses smiled their adieux to their respective worshippers until next season. There was a general call for Mr. Lumley at the conclu sion of the opera. Mr. Lumley. however, did not make his appearance, a circumstance we regret, for we could have , Aished him to have received those plaudits which are so justly his due, for his courage in facing, and his skill in overcoming difficulties before which any ordinary man would have shrunk, but a hick he turned into a tni aus of achieving a more brilliant triumph th in had been achieved by any of his predecessors. We had in tended to have given a review of the season ; want of space, however, c. ot IA us to defer it until to-morrow. THE NEW PARLIAMENT. On the general election the loss on the balance of act count, as compared with the preceding Parliament, is— To the Protectionists ... ... 29 To the Peelites ... 26 Making a gain to Ministers of ... —55 and making a differer.ce of 110 on a division. This calculation may be relied upon, as the result of a most careiul analysis, and of a most correct knowledge, to the letter, of every one of the new Members returned. The list of Liberals includes none but those known as general supporters of the Administration. The professed followers of Lord George Bentinck may be guessed in round numbers at about two hundred; but many of those are not indisposed to Sir Robert Peel, if they saw any chance of his re-instalment in power; whilst many others of them openly state their admiration of Lord John Russell, and their desire to support his 1,-- -- of the late Conservative party, who adhere publicly to his new policy, muster about 100; but many of those, in which we may perhaps include the Right Hon. Baronet himself, exhibit an inclination to give a cordial support to the policy of the present Government. The positive Ministerial strength—irrespective of the Conservative divisions—will be about 350—a force not in itself over whelming, but strong for good whilst supported by public opinion.—Sunday Print. STOPPING A RAILWAY TRAIN.—AS the down train, leaving Bath at fifty minutes past two, P.M, was proceeding towards Bristol last week, two men standing on a bank on the side of the line, a short d stance from the Twerton tunnel, hailed the engine driver by waving a red handkerchief on the top of a stick. The red colour being used a danger signal on the railway, the driver immediately reversed the engine, thinking he was likely to meet with some obstacle by proceeding further; and, having stopped the train, gave information to the guard of the circumstance. The guard accordingly asked the parties what they meant by the intermit) , ion; when one of them said they had no money, and wanted a lift to Bristol. Being now awake to the hoax, the guard humoured their object by giving them a seat in his own box, at the same time mentally regarding them as having, by their conduct, forfeited " the liberty of the subject," and become his prisoner passengers, while they, in happy ignorance, congratulated themselves on their cheap trip. On the arrival of the train at the Bristol station, they were handed over to the care of Burton, police super intendent of the line, and on Monday brought before the magistrates on a charge of infringing a clause in the company's Act of Parliament, whereby they had rendered themselves liable to a penalty. One of them is an Irish man, named Quasick, and the other is named Thomas. Evidence to the above effect having been given, they were each fined 40s. and costs, and in default of payment committed for one month each. An instance of animal sagacity and humanity, un equalled in our remembrance, took place before our door lately. An unfortunate dog, in order to make sport for some fools, had a pan tied to his tail, and was sent off on his travels towards Galt. Ile reached the village utterly exhausted, and lay down before the steps of Mr. Young's tavern, eyeing most anxiously the horrid annoyance hung behind him, but unable to move a step further, or rid himself of the torment. Another dog, a Scotch colly. came up at the same time, and, seeing the distress of his crony, laid himself gently down be side him, and, gaining his confidence by a few cares.es, proceeded to gnaw the string by which the noisy appen dage was attached to his friend's tail, and by about a quarter of an hour'a exertion severe d the cord, and started to his legs with the pan hanging from the string in his mouth, and after a few joyful capers around his friend, departed on his travels in the highest glee at his success. —Edinburgh Weeny Chronicle. TUE FIRST DIFFICULTIES OF A NEW MINISTER. — The Independence, of Brussels, gives the following amusing scene, arising out of the late change of the Belgian Ministry :--4 4 A few days ago one of the new Ministers went to the hotel of his Ministry, and desired to be shown into the cabinet. The person to whom he addressed himself replied, The Minister is not there.' That may be, but show mo the cabinet.' I repeat, Sir, there is nobody in it, and therefore—." Pardon me, you do not understand me. Ido not ask for the Minister, but his cabinet.' I understand you perfectly; but when the Minister is absent I cannot, and will not, show you into his cabinet.' • You are determined ?' 4 Quite determined.' You are very strict, it appears; it way be right, but pray tell me who you are.' Who am I? I am the concierge of the hotel, Sir,' said the p e rson questioned, drawing himself up, and assuming all the dignity of a man in office. And lam the Mi nister; be pleased to show me the way to my cabinet.' " EXTRAORDINARY HONEY FALL.— . I. he " natives' of Widmerpool, in this county, were mileh 8...01.i.5hpel the other day at discovering on the floor of their church something very curious in the shape of a roun . brown cake, very soft withal. Its suspicious colour and ex traordinary appearance for a time kept them at bay, but at length the effluvium arising therefrom being any thing but inudorous—nay, being " sweet as honey or the honey comb," several of the more venturesome and less delicate were induced not only to approach but also to taste it ! To the astonishment of all it was found to be real honey; but how did it come there? To solve this problem was a puzzler for a a long time; but at lengtheth the sec ret was found out, gretly to the delight of whole village. For some time past, unknown to any one, a hive of bees had ma de their homes in the rafters of e roof, and having filled their waxen cells to reple- tion, some slight mischance had broken the fragile ves sels, causing a portion of the golden store to find its Niro: , to the flour to create the astonishment and ex Fite the curiosity we have described. Altogether pretty nearly 100 lb. of honey fell to the lot et verers.—Nottingham Guardiw, ihe fortunate disco There were eruptirm s o f M ount 'Vesuvius on the 2d and and3d instan '..

By our ordinary semi-monthly dispatch from Mar seilles, in anticipation of the overland mail, we have received intelligence from Calcutta to the 2d, and from Bombay to the Bth ult. The intelligence is not important. Disturbances still continued to prevail in the pro vince of Goomsoor, and human sacrifices were about to be renewed there. Tranquillity had not been restored in the States of the Nizam. The plan to establish a bank there had not succeeded. At Bombay the rains had been remarkable, 42 inches had already fallen on the 3d ult.; that is more than half the ordinary average, and there were two months of the monsoon yet remaking. The fall in different parts of the Deccan had not been so great. Great apprehension was felt respecting the fate of the Cleopatra steamer, which left Bombay on the 14th of April, bound for Singapore. She encountered the frightful hurricane of the 17th, 18th, and 19th of April, and had not since been heard of. The mails from London to the 7th of June ar rived at Bombay on the 6th ult. The new Governor of Ceylon had reduced the export duty on cinnamon to 21 per cent. A general revision of the tariff was likewise reported. They still speak of reducing the Indian army. There are to be altogether 24 regiments of Euro pean infantry in the service of the Company. From New South Wales we have advices to the 10th of April. The military force in that colony was to be reduced to a single regiment, while two were to be stationed in New Zealand, and two in Van Diemen's Land. Orders had been received to abandon the colony of North Australia, on which it is said that 20,0001. had been already expended. From South Australia we receive favourable re ports of progress bath in mining and agricultural operations. The great complaint is want of hands, and a petition was about to be forwarded to the Colonial-office to assist in inducing emig ration. An association has been formed in the colony to oppose grants of land for ecclesiastical purposes, the colonists being decidedly averse to what they term the fatal principle of an alliance between Church and State. _......_. We have received no intelligence from China of a latter pate than by the previous mail, although the liaddington waited at Point de Galle five days for the steamer of that line, which did not make her appearance. We take the following summary of news from the Bengal Hurkaru of July 2 : " The time which has passed since the date of our last dispatch, though it has produced the usual num ber of small topics for the discussion of the Indian press, has given birth to no political event of suffi cient importance to cause an excitement when its history is told in England. " There has indeed been a revolution in Nepaul ; but such things have been too common in that coun try of late to admit of a more quiet and bloodless change of rulers being looked on even as a nine days' wonder. '1 he history of this event is briefly as follows :—The Maharaja, as our readers may re meniner, came some time ago to Benares, as much perhaps, because it was inconvenient for him to stay at Katmandoo, where his wife was supreme, as for the purpose of performing his devotions in the sacred river. After staying at Benares some time he left that city, ostensibly fur the purpose of returning to his capital. But it appears he never got further than to a place called Segow lee, in the British territories, but near the frontiers of Nepaul. Thence it seems he sent messengers to Katmandoo, calling on the army and the principal men of the country to imprison or kill the Minister Jung Bahadoor, and all his family. On this the chiefs assembled, and after consultation carne to the conclusion that his Majesty was not of right mind. They accordingly determined to depose him and to place the heir apparent on the throne. This resolution was immediately carried into effect, and a letter was sent to the old King signed by all the prin cipal men, informing him of what had been done, re counting his misdeeds, censuring him for his with drawal from his people and country, and reprobating hlgkrafilTiPe (lehtEuSli.9.,ll.9.t..3l3v(llllbsY.lminargl hit another, thus quietly effected, will in no way affect the relations between the British Indian Government and that of Nepaul. " From the Punjaub we hear that the Governor- General, seeing that the people of Hazareh are not likely ever to submit quietly to the rule of Ghoolab Singh, has permitted the restoration of that district to the Lahore state, in exchange for another tract of country. The Sovereign of Cashmere is said to be well pleased with his bargain, being glad to be rid of subjects so troublesome as the Hazareh people had been and were likely to continue. " The accounts from Peshawur continue to tell of reform and retrenchment steadily and quietly carried on under the auspices of Major George Lawrence. General Ghoolab Singh, Povindeea, has been installed Seikh Governor of the province. " From Caubul the latest news received is to about the middle of May. Dost Mahomed had returned from his campaign among the insurgent Ghilzies, and had boasted so vain-gloriously in open durbar of his achievements in the field, that the sons of Mahomed Zetnan Khan hod abruptly quitted the presence in disgust. His Highness seems to have incurred the displeasure of many of his chiefs, including his son Wuzeer Ukbar Khan, by his supposed leaning to wards an alliance with the British. There are reports of correspondence carried on betwixt the Ameer and our authorities through the intervention of his brother Sultan Mahomed Khan, at Peshawur, but of the nature and objects of the various communications little is yet known. " The most important item of news from Aff ghanistan is of a quarrel betwixt the Ameer and the Kuzzilbash tribe, ending, as it seems, in a fight. The origin of this misunderstanding remains a mystery, which the next accounts will probably clear up. The Ameer entertained a vague suspicion and mistrust of the tribe, but could not, or would not, when challenged, put his fears into the shape of a specific charge against any of them. He declared, however, that if his suspicions were verified, he would expel the whole tribe from Caubul. Subsequently, the anger or distrust of the Ameer induced him to order that certain deductions should be made from the pay of the Kuzzilbash troops ; and it was rumoured that he meditated an attack upon the quarter of the town inhabited by the tribe, for the purpose of destroying their forts. Finally, a note of late date mentions that an affray had actually oc curred betwixt the Kuzzilbashes and the Caubulees, two of the Ameer's sons taking part with the latter. We shall probably learn more of this affair very shortly. One Jan Fishan Khan, well known during our Affghan campaigns, and now living in our terri tories, has been writing to his countrymen, calling on them to prepare to repel an invasion of the British, who, he said, would be among them in six months. The Ameer had sent the intercepted letters to the Resident at Pesbawur, and declared his conviction that they were false. " The robber chief, Doonghur Singh, whose rescue and escape from the gaol at Agra created such a sen sation some time ago, and who has since been exer cising his vocation in Shekawattee and the neigh bouring territories, has lately performed an exploit which throws iato the shade all his former achieve ments. At midnight on the 18th ult. a band of armed men, many of them mounted on horses and camels, surrounded and suddenly attacked the Mili tary Pay-office at Nusseerabad, lf , lting six of the guard, and desperately wounding as many more. They then forced open the treasure-chest and carried off its contents—some 27,000 rupees.

" The affairs of the India General Steam Naviga tion Company have la tel y been the theme of much discussion, originating in an informal meeting of shareholders held on the 19th ult. The regular half yearly meeting is fixed for the 19th instant, and will, it is to be horsed, place matters on a more satisfactory footing.
