MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. An unusually small supply of English Wheat was on offer, yet that article, arising from the continued large imports from abroad, met a very dull inquiry at barely Moaday's reduced currencies. All kinds of foreign wheat were in great supply, and heavy demand, at barely stationary prices. In Barley next to nothing IVas doing, and the rates were nominal. Malt was ex ceedingly dull, but not cheaper. Oats, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. English .. WAI L i roreign •• •• I 11,060 Wheat. 830 qrs.

Mr. PARKER moved, pursuant to notice, that the Committee on the Arglye Canal Bill have leave to sit tad report on Thursday. HUME was desirous of having the minutes of the Treasury in reference to the Bill laid on the table of the house. - Mr. CHRISTOPHER opposed the further progress of the Bill, because he deprecated proceeding with a Measure as a private Bill, which was to cauAe the public an expenditure of upwards of 150,0001. If this measure wee allowed to proceed it would sanction the Govern- Izent, under the guise of a private Bill, to saddle t he public with endless expense. He did not know Whether it would be consistent with the forms of the Souse, but if it was, he would move as an amendment !O the motion of the Hon. Member for Sheffield, " that it be an instruction to the Committee on the Argyle Canal Bill to proceed no further with the Bill during the Present session." After some discussion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Government had dealt with the Bill as an unopposed till ; as, however, it was opposed, he would move to discharge the order for the committal of the Bill, and mo ve to morrow that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee as an opposed Bill. Mr. T. DENCOMBE thought the Bill of such a na ture that it ought not to be referred to any Committee at an. They had had a Thames job, and now they had 11 regular Scotch job. He thought the best course ,Would be to withdraw the present measure altogether. Sir J. GRAHAM thought it would be absurd to pro ceed with the measure until it was known whether a Committee of Supply would allow the expenditure of so large a sum of money to carry it out. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY denied that the measure was job. . Lord G. BENTIN CK thought the measure inexpe dient,l and he would, t h ere f ore , su pp or t any motion that had for it s o bj ect t h e prevent i on ol i ts procee ding further. -It seemed that the Government were desirous to pass this Bill secretly through the House, at that late period Of the session as a private Bill. Mr. BAINE also opposed the Bill. He said it was only introduced into the House a week ago, and he defied those who supported it to show that any petition had been presented from the locality in favour of it.—(Hear.) Nay, more, he believed that if the inhabitants on its route were consulted, that they would be found to op pose it. Mr. HUME stigmatised the Bill as a job, and as likely to be a second Caledonian Canal, which they all knew had Proved ruinous; and the House ought, therefore, at once to mark it sense of the conduct of the Government I: bringing in as a p r i va t e Bill a Bill w hi c h proposed to e x pend a large sum of the public money. Such a pro- Isition ought to be made in a Committee of Supply. : I e Considered that the Government had been imposed P°n, as it was un l i k e ly t h a t S co t c h l a i r ds would give ti P i a nything that was likely to prove a source of profit. Cl l-A ughter.) If, however, the canal should turn out be one of a public nature, and one which the locality earne stly sought, he might possibly support it in :other session; but as the Bill had been brought in as . bad be en , an d cons id er i ng t h e l a t e period of the ses !lon, he felt it his duty to move that the debate be ad- Journ e d until that day three months. G o 7r' WILLIAMS seconded the motion, He said the Government had promoted the Cr tam and Caledonian canals, but th e y were no thi ng b u t gross jobs, as they ad been barely able to pay their incidental expenses; a n d as this Bill proposed the perpetration of another of similar kind, he should strongly support those who O pposed The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said t he Bill was undertaken by the Government owing to Petitions which they had received from various P a rts of the Higlilands earnestly calling upon tr: i n to provide e mploym e nt for the indus- Cl's poor by means of public works, and Sir --Alward Belcher was sent down, to make a sur ey and to f urn i s h a report , an d h e repeate d t h at t h e ex -I,lilng canal co u ld no t b e ma d e ava il a bl e f or t h e nav i ga • lion of ships, and that another canal must be made to afford the accommodation the public required. Another ()Meer who had been employed in Ireland, Mr. Hamil ton, was . also sent down and he reported that the canal could be constructed at no very enormous outlay. The Government undertook the work for the purpose of Promoting a national undertaking, and as one which, at the same time, would afford employment to the indus trious poor. He denied that the undertaking could be looked upon as a job ; and it would be well if Hon. Members, before they rose to oppose the Bill, would read through the evidence in favour of the Work which had been supplied by so competent an authority as Sir Edward Bcher. He would withdraw t he motion, and deter el further proceedings in the matter until in Committee of Supply they submitted the propositi on t o the House. Ile hoped no further "tne would be lost in discussing the propriety of ad journing the debate. u Sir J. GRAHAM urged the Hon. Gentleman the elnber for M on t rose t o withdraw his motion. As at Present advised, he was not prepared to vote against the rint of 130,000/. for the construction of anotbercanal in A rgyllshi re , notwithstanding he had voted for the grant t 0 th e C aledonian Canal. tk Mr. HUME w i t hd rew his mo ti on , and trusted that .7 would hear no more of the Bill.—(Laughter.) .The original motion and the amendment were then t. ftudrawn.

Tufnell), respectinr , a letter, headed " Treasury," Ruud the 27th of June,' commencing " My dear Mel -4114" (Lord Melgund), and dissuading that Noble Lord ,x°,.1,1,1 standing for the borough, and signed " Henry tmlell,"....(Laughter.) The letter was to this effect— " Treasury, Whitehall, Juno 27, 1847. ti :.my dear Melgund,—Understanding that it has been t , p tot, uat any Government influence was exercised to e llt You originally from standing for Greenock? I think it right that your opponents should know, that in consequence of representations that were made to myself and others respecting the state of parties in the borough, and the feelings that were entertained on this subject in other quarters, I certainly authorised a strong remon strance being made to you, and endeavoured by every means in my power to dissuade you from coming for ward as a candidate.—l am, yours truly, " H. TUFNELL." He wished to know if the letter was written in his official capacity—also the grounds on which he wrote it —(Cries of " Oh! oh!") —and whether it was written with the cognizance of the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, the author of the Reform Bill? (" Oh! oh!" and laughter.) Mr. TUFNELL said, in reply to the question of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Dorsetshire, he had to state that the letter was a correct copy of a private communication which he had addressed to Lord Melgund.—(Loud cheers.) As soon as he found it had been published in a local newspaper, he wrote to Lord Melgund, expressing his surprise that a private communication should have found its way into the columns of a newspaper—(Hear, hear) —for the ar guments used in it were only those which one friend would not hesitate to address to another.—(Hear, hear.) Lord G. BENTINCK inquired what the term " Go vernment influence" in the letter meant, and also the statement that his opponents should know the reasons which induced him to stand, and the remonstrance which he (Mr. Tufnell) had used to dissuade him. Mr. HUME interposed. He thought if the time of the House was to he wasted in private matters, that the public business would be materially retarded.—(Hear, hear.) It might be the Noble Lord's turn by and by to be entrusted with the Government —(Laughter)—and he would then find that if every private matter of a similar kind was brought before the House that he would have enough to do.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BANKES explained that he put the questions to the Hon. Gentleman, as the letter had appeared in a public newspaper. The matter then dropped. (LEFT SITTING ) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Run in 1 minute 12 seconds. With so meagre a list, opposed, too, by such powerful attractions at Cambridge, it is scarcely necessary to say that the company on the heath was more than usually select, even for a July meeting, or that speculation was dull almost beyond precedent.

S. Duncombe, Esq., M.P., took the chair at half-past eight o'clock, and having opened the business of the meeting in a short speech explanatory of the object of the institution, t h e secretary, Mr. J. Darkin, read the report, which was of an extremely satisfactory nature; in the course of which it was stated that the committee had so far progressed in the preliminary arrangements as to have selected an eligible plot of ground at Wood-green, Tottenham, it only requiring the sanction of the meeting to conclude the purchase. The funds now in hand amount, after deducting the expenses of management for the current year (only 271.), to 2,0101. 7s. 3d. The complete transfer of the land would be effected for about 4501., and the erecting of six almshouses, to accommodate twelve in ' mates would be completed at a further outlay of 1,5001. At the end of the report a goodly list of subscriptions was announced, amongst which was a third donation of 211. from Messrs. Clowes, 10 guineas from James Harmer, Esq., 10 guineas from Messrs. Ilarrild and Sons, &c. A resolution empowering the Committee to purchase the site and proceed to the erec tion of the übnshouses, was unanimously carried, with the addenda, on the suggestion of the chairman (Mr. Duncombe), after severely commenting on the recent rejection by the Lords, of the non-separative clause in the English Poor-law Bill, that accommodation be pro vided for twelve pensioners " and their wives." Thanks having been accorded to the various officers, and the chairman of the evening, which was duly acknowledged, the meeting broke up. A well-executed des4.n of the proposed asylum, executed by W. Webbe, Esq. (the architect of the adjoining asylum for the fishmongers and poulterers), was exhibited to the subscribers as sembled, which was left for the consideration of the comae in their future arrangements, • INSTALLATION AT CAMBRIDGE. CAMBRIDGE, TUESDAY EVENING.—The town wears this day very much the same gay and animated aspect it did yesterday, although the influx of strangers from the neighbouring localities has not been so multitu dinous. The proceedings in the Senate-house forming the main feature of the installation, it will readily be be lieved that great efforts were made by those who hap pily had obtained tickets of admission to assert the claim of first comers to the best seats; and they were neither few nor far between who, nearly three hours before the time appointed (ten o'clock) for the commencement of the business, had congregated in serried ranks in front of the Senate-house. The crowd having increased, the doors were opened before eight o'clock, and such was the rush, principally of ladies, who occupied all the raised seats in the body of the house, and in the gallery at the west end immediately above the throne, that long before nine o'clock it was impossible for the latter comers to obtain, not the comfort able accommodation they had anticipated, but even to stand on a window ledge or available aperture of the building was quite out of the question. Many ladies and gentlemen, albeit possessed of veritable vouchers for what they considered good and secure positions, were obliged to content themselves with seats on the lawn, in front of King's College, immediately adjoining the Senate-house; where they might have the shadow of a chance of catching a glimpse of the Queen and the Prince Chancellor, and hearing in notes, by distance made more sweet, the beautiful sympathies of the in stallation Ode. All this inconvenience arose, it should in justice be stated, not from the want of proper arrange ments, but from what may be called the tyranny of cir cumstances, so many persons being entitled to tickets where the accommodation was necessarily so confined. The side galleries were shortly after eight o'clock closely packed by undergraduates. The contracted area in the centre of the hall between the galleries which arose from the floor on each side for the ladies was reserved for masters of arts, fellow s, and other members of the Univer sity, who were not fortunate enough to command tickets for the elevated platform, on which were placed the chairs of state. Through this densely thronged mass, the Prince Chancellor and her Majesty had to pass, and they only who stood the pressure for nearly three hours can—and we do not wish others should—form an idea of the inconvenient pressure which was sustained. At nine o'clock the platform on the right and left of the throne was filled ; the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord- Lieutenant of the county ; the Bedels of the University ; the Vice-Chancellor, the Heads of Colleges, the Prince Waldemar of Prussia, Prince Lowenstein, the Duke of Saxe Weimar, Chevalier Bunsen and lady, the Belgian Ambassador and lady, the Duke of Buccleuch, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Northampton, the Mrrquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Devon, Lord Campbell, Lord Monteagle, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of St. David's, the Bishop of Norwich, the Bishop of Melbourne, Sir Robert and Lady Pee!, the Vice-Chancellor of England, Mr. W. Y. Peel, Mr. Goulburn, and Mr. Law, occupying prominent positions. Up till nearly ten o'clock the undergraduates in the gallery congratulated themselves on having taken pos session of the most convenient and commanding places in the Senate- house. No cries were uttered, as is usual on such occasions. _ _ The Duke of Wellington arrived about a quarter be fore ten o'clock, and was received outside by the band with " See the conquering hero comes," and inside the walls of the Senate-house with the most tumultuous applause. At five minutes to ten a flourish of trumpets announced the arrival of his Royal Highness the Prince Chancellor, who, accompanied by his suite, and preceded by the bedels, made his way up the centre of the Senate-house amidst the most vociferous cheering of all the gentlemen, and the waving of handkerchiefs by all the ladies pre sent. After acknowledging the salutations of, the noble men and their ladies on either side of the platform, the Prince Chancellor took his seat in the chair of state oa the left of the throne. The Prince wore his robes as Chancellor, with his collar and badge, and remained with cap on head, while the different prizemen recited their essays before him. About a quarter past ten o'clock the strains of the National Anthem announced the Queen's approach, when his Royal Highness, still wearing his doctor's cap, and accompanied by the bedels and other authorities of the University, proceeded down the centre of the Senate-house to welcome her Majesty. The Queen, received by the Prince Chancellor at the entrance of the Senate-house, and accompanied by the Earl of Fortescue and Colonel Phipps, walked up to the dais, where both took their seats. Her Majesty wore a white lace dress over pink silk, a white lace bonnet and flowers, with straw coloured gloves. On the entrance of her Majesty the whole company rose, and testified their enthusiasm by loud and consen taneous plaudits. With the exception of the Queen and the Prince Chancellor all remained standing during the remainder of the proceedings. The recitation of the prize poems, which was in terrupted by the entrance of the Queen, was now re sumed. Each prizeman having read his essay, was conducted by the Vice-Chancellor's Marshal up the steps of the platform, and presented to the Prince Chancellor, who delivered to him his prize. The prizemen were, at the conclusion of their read ings, greeted by the cordial applause of their friends. The recitation of the different prize poems occupied till a quarter to 11, when the performance of the In stallation Ode, of which we printed a copy on Monday, commenced. The Ode, which was set to music by Professor Wal misley, was in many portions of it most loudly cheered. In one of the solos a favourite air of the Prince Chan cellor was introduced, and in the portion referring to Luther's life there was a marked resemblance in the trumpet accompaniment to his celebrated hymn. The first tenor solo, by Lockley, the contralto recitative, by Miss Dolby, " But 10, what sudden cloud," the soprano solo, by Miss Birch, the bass air, " Albert, in thy race we cherish," by Phillips, and all the chorusses, elicited warm and reiterated applause. The grand chorus, too, drew down thunders of applause. Amidst the general plaudits the National Anthem was called for, and sung with heartstirring enthusiasm, the Prince Chancellor joining in the chorus. Her Majesty and the Prince immediately afterwards left the Senate-house amidst universal acclamations. Three cheers were afterwards given for the Queen, the Prince Chancellor, the Prince of Wales, the Lord Steward, the Duke of Wellington, the Bishops, Profes sor Walmisley, &c. On leaving the Senate-house her Majesty retired to her residence, Trinity Lodge. TUE SUN, LONDON, WE UNESDAY EVENINCr, JULY 7, 1847. THE FLOWER SHOW. One of those pleasing fashionable exhibitions took place this day in the beautiful grounds of Downing College. The fineness of the day, and the expectation that the show would be graced by the presence of her Majesty, contributed as much perhaps as the intrinsic attractive character of the exhibition itself to bring u large concourse of visitors together. About nine spa cious tents were erected in different parts of the ground, within which the flowers and plants were arranged ; military bands played for the entertainment of the com pany ; seats were placed beneath the trees for those who were disposed to seek temporary repose or shelter from the scorching rays of the sun, and many who could nut obtain seats stretched themselves on the grass, forming, as they were seen from various points, pretty Watteau like groups. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by her suite, and accompanied by the Duke of Wellington, ar • rived at the show about three o'clock. Her Majesty and the Prince walked over the grounds, attended by Mr. Ashton, the secretary, and entered every tent in which flowers were displayed ; it is unneccessary to say that acclamations resounded wherever they appeared. After remaining in the grounds about three-quarters of an hour, and accepting a beautiful bouquet from Mrs. Ashton, her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the whole of their suite, withdrew into the house of the Master of Downing College, where they partook of refreshment, and the Queen was pleased to express her gratification at what she had seen. Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, and many other persons remained conversing beneath the portico of the Master's house, whilst the Queen was engaged inside. Shortly after the Queen left they also departed. In addition to the distinguished persons already men tioned, we observed on the grounds the Duke of Nor folk, the Marquis of Abercorn, Prince Waldemar, Prince Peter of Oldenburgh, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. H. Howard, and Lady M. Howard, &c. THE DINNER AT TRINITY. The invited guests began to arrive shortly after five o'clock. When all bad assembled, the appearance of the hall was truly magnificent. Across the upper end of the hall was placed the royal table, at which sat—the Vice-Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, the Countess of Hardwicke, M. Van do Weyer, the Master's Lady, the Prince, the Master, the Queen, the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, the Lady of the Vice-Chancellor, Prince Waldemar, Duchess of Sutherland, Marquis of Abercorn, Lady Charlotte Gren ville, Marchioness of Exeter, Lord Fortescue, Lady Desart, Lord John Russell, Duke of Norfolk, Madame Bunsen, Marquis of Lansdowne, Duke of Sutherland, Bishop of London, Earl Spencer, Chevalier Bunsen, Lady Monteagle, M.

For her Majesty and the Prince Chancellor were placed splendid chairs of state, richly carved and gilt, on either side of the Master of Trinity. The dinner was to take place at half-past six o'clock, at which hour precisely her Majesty, with her usual punctuality, was led in by the Prince Chancellor, the other Fellows and Masters in the body of the hall, having taken their places beforehand. All the com pany rose on the entrance of the Queen and the Prince Chancellor. The table was profusely decorated with gold and silver-gilt plate, supplied by Mr. T. Reed, of Market-hill. Before her Majesty was placed a magni ficent golden plateau, and on either side a frosted silver vase of gigantic dimensions, filled with the choicest flowers. On the other tables were ranged all the plate belonging to the University, and a great variety of deco rative accessories in silver and gold. In addition to these graces of the table, a profusion of most tasteful decora tions was displayed in confectionary and sugar work with many prize bouquets of flowers. Her Majesty and the company having taken their seats, the Master of Trinity said the following grace:— " Oculi omnium in to sperant, Domine, " Et to das escam jilts in tempore. " Aperis to manum tuam, " Et imples omne animal benedictione. " Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. " Sicut erat in principio, nunc est, et erit in secula seculorum. Kupte EXEr,cov, "R.

" Deus Caritas est, et qui manit in Caritate in Deo manet, et Deus in eo: Sit Deus in nobis et nos maneamus in ipso." After dinner the Master of Trinity said the following grace:— " Tibi taus, tibi gloria, tibi gratiarum Actio in sempi terna secula, 0 Beata Trinitas. _ _ " Benedicamus Patrem et Filium cum Spiritu Sancto, " Laudemus et superexaltetnus eum in secula.

Amen." The dinner lasted from half-past 6 till 8 o'clock. The band during dinner played a choice selection of music. A most sumptuous dessert, with the rarest wines and richest prize fruit, having been placed on the tables, The Rev. Dr. WHEWELL, Master of Trinity, rose and spoke as follows: — May it piease your Majesty—My Lords and Gentlemen,—l have received her Majesty's gracious permission to propose a toast. lam allowed to propose a toast which we are in the daily habit of drink ing at this table—" the health of her Majesty the Queen." —(Three times three, loud and long-continued cheers.) During the first three cheers her Majesty stood and graciously bowed three several times to the assembled company. Her Majesty sat down during the remainder of the cheers, and after they were finished seemed good naturedly to chide the Master of Trinity for the up roarious enthusiasm of the company. The band having played the National Anthem, The Master of TRINITY rose and said—l have received the gracious permission of her Majesty topropose another toast. It is the health of one for whom we also daily pray in his hull as for ourselves. It is " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Chancellor of this University." The cheers which greeted this toast were loud and long-continued. They had scarcely subsided when her Majesty and the Prince Chancellor rose, about half-past eight o'clock, and, leading the way, the other guests at the upper table speedily retired from the ball, the band playing the National Anthem. At nine o'clock a grand reception took place at Trinity Lodge, where the Vice Chancellor, the Masters, Tutors, Professors, and other authorities of the University, with their ladies, were presented to her Majesty.

JOHN KNOX'S BIBLE. bad lately the great satisfaction of in specting and examining a relic of ancient times, that merits a high place in the esteem of Scotchmen, not only from its intrinsic excellence, but from the circumstance of its having once appertained to one whose name Scot land, we trust, will never fail to cherish, as the most glorious in her nomenclature of fame. This was the Bible of John Knox. In writing it contains a signature of John Knox, the ink and hand-writing of which correspond with copious notes written in a cipher on the margin, in which hand the Psalms are divided into morning and evening portions. The following affidavit is also inscribed:—" This book was printed by a gentleman, named Richard Cameron, in the year of our Lord 1560, and was presented to the famous John Knox, our Scottish Reformer, in the year of our Lord 1560, for his Family Bible, which he kept till his death, which happened at Edinburgh, in the year of our Lord 1592, being 12 years in his possession. It next fell into the hands of his successor, Mr. Carson, where it continued till his death, and passed into the hands of his widow, whose name was Page, where it continued till the pre sent year of our Lord 1688.—(Signed) Taos. PAGE." This Bible was transferred from the name of Page to the name of Housten, on account of marriage, and continued in the hands of the Housten's till it was next transferred by Margaret Housten to the name of Elder; and at his decease, upon the 2041 Eebruary, 1807, it came into the hands of his son, Hugh Elder, now residing in Edin burgh. This Bible was purchased from Hugh Elder, by Mr. Wm. Glenny, Edinburgh ; and at his decease in the year 1844, was sold by Mrs. Glenny to the Hon. Roger Rollo, and is now in possession of his son, John B. Rollo, Esq.—lrvine 11 7 ews Letter. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY s.—The following are the ships at present ordered to form Sir C.

PLYMOUTH, JULY 3.—A court-martial assembled this morning on board her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Manly H.

The Court consisted of the President, Sir John Louis, Rear-Admiral of the Red, and Admiral-Superintendent of this arsenal; Captain Manly H. Dixon, her Majesty's ship Caledonia; Commander Charles Hall, and Com mander Charles F. S3homberg, of her Majesty's ship Queen. Mr. William Eastlake was the officiating Judge- Advocate. The gun for assembling was lined at Bin the morning, the court was opened at 9, and sat until half-past 4 o 'clock. The charges against James Pitts were, first, for de sertion on the 30th of June, 1847, at Halifax ; an second, for stealing from Mr. Richards, clerk, her Ma jesty's troop-ship Resistance, seven shirts, two waist coats, and two handkerchiefs • from Mr. Gilpin, mas ter's assistant, a scarf ; from ':Mr. Herford, naval cadet, four shirts, one waiscoat, and a pair of trousers, part of which was found on his person, and also a silver watch, and 51. 14s. 6d., supposed to be stolen from a sergeant of the 42d Highlanders. Against Richard Head the first charge was for de sertion at Halitax, on the 26th of May, 1847 ; and the second, for stealing the same day from Thomas Cal laghan, first class boy, a blue cloth monkey jacket. Frederick Hiscocks was accused of desertion at Halifax on the 26th of May, 1847. The Court decided, that " having heard the evidence in support of the charges, as well as what the prisoners have offered in their behalf, and very maturely and deliberately considered the same, the Court is of opinion that the charges have been proved against the prisoners, James Pitts, Richard Head, and Frederick Hiscocks, and the Court doth in consequence adjudge the said James Pitts to recive fifty lashes with a cat- o - nine tails on his bare back on board her Majesty's troop ship Resistance, to which he belongs, at such time or times, and in such proportions as the Commander-in- Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels at Plymouth shall direct. And the Court doth further adjudge the said James Pitts to be imprisoned in her Majesty's gaol in and for the county of Devon, at Exeter, for the space of 18 calendar months, and during that time to be kept to hard labour, and to be mulct of all pay due to him in her Majesty's service, and to lose all the time which be has served in the Royal Marines." The Court also adjudged Richard Head to be impri soned 15 months, with hard labour, to be mulct of his pay, and to lose bis time ; and Frederick Hiscocks to be imprisoned 12 months, with hard labour, to be mulct of his pay, and lose his time ; and they were so sentenced accordingly. The three prisoners are young men, and have not been very long in the service. The Trinity steam-yacht, Bailey commander, came in yesterday from London, coaled this morning, and pro ceeded forthwith for Padstow and Milford. A great number of merchant vessels were in the Channel yesterday and this morning. They are laden principally with grain, beans, &c., and bound to the eastward.

STATE OF TRADE. The following is an extract from the trade report, of the Ist instant, of Messrs. Du Fay and Co., of Man chester:— _ _ . . _ We noticed in our last trade report the beginning of an improvement in the general evect of affairs, and we are glad to say that it has been more fully developed during the past month; but the improvement cannot be considered safe until all doubt and anxiety about the harvest here and abroad are removed, particularly as the potato disease has again shown itself in some districts. The accounts from all quarters speak confidently about the appearance and the probable yield of the crops, but we require certainty to render• our position secure. Another failure of crops would be fraught with conse quences so disastrous that no forethought could predict the extent —no prudence nor exertions avert the severity of such a calamity. As the harvest in some of the neighbouring states is near at hand, sod on the point of being secured, we shall not Ue kept very long in suspense as far as the yield there is concerned; meantime our own crops will, we hope, ad ance tepidly tom ards ripening, and finally afford ample ,upplies. The anxiety with which the state of the weather has been watched everywhere throughout the month, and he sensitiveness which all mhrkets without exception ex hibited with every change of the barometer, show how ge oerallythe conviction is entertained tha , a good harvestonly can restore something like former prosperity. At present the general opinion leans to the favourable side. Confi dence is gradually returning, and money is easier, owing in some measure to the unusual contraction of business during the previous months. This state of things, combined with recent accounts from America, have revived speculations in the Liver- - pool market ; the article of cotton being one of para mount interest to this immediate district, we beg, before entering upon any remarks about the trans actions of the past month, to say a few words re specting the supply and probable consumption of this important staple under existing circumstances. Next to the food question, none claims more attention, being secondary to no other in its consequences on the welfare and prosperity of a large mass of the population of this country. It is generally assumed that about a million and a half are engaged in the various departments of the cotton manufacture of Great Britain. We alluded in our last trade report to the critical and unsatisfactory position in which our spinners and manufacturers are now placed, between the Liver pool cotton market and our own, by a rise in the former without an adequate advance in the latter. The disproportion which then existed be tween the raw and manufactured article has increased since, instead of having been equalised. It is true our manufacturers look forward to a better state of things-- to an improvement in the prices of goods; but will they be better off than they have been, it cotton continues— as it has so far done—to precede instead of following an advance in our market? The steamer Hibernia, which left Boston on the 16th ult., arrived at Liverpool on the 28th ult. The letters report a dull and declining cotton market, in consequence of discouraging accounts from this side, and the diffi culty of negotiating bills on Europe. The main point, the extent of the crop, remains as before, the entire amount of the crop will probably not be more than 1,800,000 bales. The decrease in the consumption of cotton during the first five months of this year, compared with 184 i. amounted to about 200,000 bales. We do not believe that the falling off can be made up during the remaining increased months, a although oug this h districtth e consumptionbiuesince oour last l a s o f t cr.oetptoorntn;ho tw a h s e 8 rather 6 num ber of workpeople out of employ be rk ing " short time, " ; of are 12,167;0n13, d wo are now 021 ii.nes.temra.dhosta te that in stead of 6,628.

In like t he present, when the supply of the raw times come in ffoorrcet,heand to counteract_ possible, by ingenuity offuillabeoxupransaioren ofin the cotton manufacture may not only be desirable is but necessary, the reaction of about 12* per cent. niiaat::Cer, butsh which the Ten Hours' Bill is likely to effect in the usual production of goods, may for a time cause incon venience and loss. It must be borne in mind that one half of the amount of our last year's exports—namely, 2 5,600,0001., consisted of the produce of cotton articles, and the question may well be asked what have we to make up in the shape of returns for any deficiency which may arise in our production of cotton manufactures, whether caused by a short supply of the raw material or by legislative interference ? Loss OF Lire Br FlRE.—Yesterday a child named George Davis, aged six years, whose parents reside at No. 16, New-stri et, Deptford, expired in Guy's Hospital, from the effects of injuries received by fit:l3. The child was left, as usual by the mother, playing in a room wherein a lighted candle was carelessly lett on the hearth, and whilst running round the apartment after a younger child, his clothes by som e means ignited, and before assistance arrived, the poor child was burnt and charred by the action of the fire over the whole surface of hi s body. He was carried in a state of awful suffering to the above hospital, where he died from the burns soon after his admission. DESTRUCTIVE FlRES. — Yesterday afternoon, be tween the hours of two and three, a fire broke out upon the estate belonging to Mr. Roper; at Forest Hill, Sy denham. It originated in a sta c k o f h a y, a nd wa s caused by some children playing with Lucifer matches. A con siderable amount of property was destroyed, which it is understood was not insured. Abont halt-past four yes terday afternoon a fire was discovered burning in pre mises belonging to Mr. Thomas Butts, currier and leather dresser, 7, Union •street, Spitalfields. The upper portion of Mr. Butt's building, where the fire com menced, was burned out. and the ceilings below were damaged by water and fire. The premises of Mr. Broomhead, adjoining, were also injured. Fortunately both parties were insured. Two other fires occurred during the afternoon; one at 5, Queen-strecr, Seven Dials, and the other at 3 , Mercers-street, Long-acre,. Owing to the timely assistance afforded , th9 e da msg.- idone in both the latter eascs was not. ecnaiderabi
