To conclude with the new grand Ballet, in four tableaux, entitled TILE SUN, pany, there are no less than 4,000 who have a control, more or less, over the lives of the public. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to suppose that some one deficient in some respect may not be ad mitted amongst the number. The slightest want of nerve, the most trivial negligence, may occasion some fearful calamity. The company may have exercised the greatest care in the selection of fit and proper persons to discharge those responsible duties, and yet be deceived in some few instances. The strongest testimony was afforded by Captain SIMMONDS, who attended on the part of Government, as to the ad mirable general management of the North-Western line, a compliment which we believe was fully merited. But the very excellence of the manage ment strengthens the argument for some additional precautions. The less the blame that may be im putable to the company, the greater the necessity for some further supervision. Why should there not be a board of public safety, who should decide on the measures to be adopted on every line through out the kingdom. Such a board of competent persons should investigate the causes of every accident that has hitherto taken place, and direct the number of men to be employed i n a ll th e d e partments. They might subject all candidates for employment to a preliminary examination, in which they should prove their knowledge of all that came within their sphere of duty, and their general efficiency, and no persons should be eligible who had not received a certificate of competence with respect to the particular class of services on which he was about to be engaged. Such regulations might, in the first instance, occasion a little additional expenditure to the different companies, but eventually it would be found that the increased cost would be more than compensated for by the dimi nution of accidents, one of which would occasion a greater pecuniary damage to a company than the pay of many additional servants. A. weighty responsibility, too, would be taken from the directors. They will still be subjected to blame, no matter how undeserved it may be, while the system continues in its present state. This could not be the case if the person inculpated had gone through the ordeal of an examination conducted by persons un connected with the company, and who could not be in any degree prejudiced in favour of the individual brought before them. There should also be a regular periodical investigation of the works, the state of the permanent way, the rails, the carriages, engines, &c., by persons of skill and ability, in order to insure their sufficiency. By such means, although it may be impossible to do away with accidents alto gether, they may be rendered of less frequent occurrence, and their results less formidable. The suggestion of the jury, with respect to the number of breaks and guards, are of such obvious utility that we doubt jot they will be immediately adopted in every district. Any present negligence on the part of the directors of any of the companies would probably enhance the stringency of the regu lations to which they would be subjected. We shall hope that the subject may speedily receive that atten tive consideration which its vast importance, and the necessity of due protection for life and limb, so ur gently demand. At the last weekly meeting of the Repeal Associa tion Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, M.P., urged the neces sity of impressing the Irish constituencies with the duty of returning at the general election those candi dates only who were Old Ireland Repealers. As be tween the parties, divided under the respective titles of ON Ireland and Young Ireland, looking to the principle of physical force enunciated by the latter when it was first embodied, and to the fact that it has never since been renounced, and that the tenacity with which they clung to it perpetuated the breach which took place between themselves and the late Mr. O'CONNELL, we should certainly prefer that Members for the new Parliament should be selected from the Old Ireland Repealers. But as we have ever thought from the first that the cry of Repeal is a mere idle phantom, a political chimera, that finds its only resting-place in morbid imagina tions, so do we feel still more strongly that, to attempt at this moment to incite the electoral body with the notion of dismembering the empire is as wild a political freak as could be sanctioned by any set of public men. Many who, some few years back, indulged in the dream that a Parliament might shortly be constituted in College-green, and be found to be a panacea for most of the social ills under which Ireland was suffering, have already re signed their idle fancies in favour of the dis passionate lessons of sober judgment. At length they are, for the most part, becoming fast persuaded of the truth that their past disorganization is attri butable much mere to social than political griev ances, that, with respect to the latter, the Imperial Legislature has gone far in the path of redress from 1829 downwards, and that, touching the former, the Senate has shown every disposition to mitigate, and finally to eradicate and abolish them, so far as legislation can subserve to the same. Men perceive likewise now-a-days that many of the measures recently propounded by the Government have not been welcomed by the Irish landlords, and that, therefore, in so far as they are calculated to compel the affluent to discharge the duties incidental to property for the improvement of the condition of the humblest classes, their chance of acquiring these boons is infinitely greater than it would have been had a domestic Legislature been in existence to take them into deliberation. Others there are, too, who hold in remembrance Air. O ' CONNELL ' S declaration, that if England and Scotland united to labour in the Parliament of Great Britain to elevate Ireland to the same poli tical and social level which they respectively enjoyed, the standard of Repeal should be lowered. Surely, then, it would be advisable for their own sakes, and as a party desirous of maintaining a hold upon the respect and sympathies of those who have supported their agitation, that the Repeal Association should manifest a little patience and watch the fruits of the new measures about to be passed with the express view, which we sincerely hope may be realised, of redeeming their country from the misery and destitution which cover it from one extremity to the other. Some thing of gratitude, too, might induce moderation, seeing the munificent manner in which England has recently stepped forward with her contributions, public and private, to lessen the sorrows of Ireland occasioned by the late calamitous visitation. If the Repeal Association shall choose to re main in force, let its energies be devoted to investigating the merits of practical measures proposed by the Government and others for the good of Ire land, and to tte , emanating of such by themselves as they may believe would be best conducive to the same end. Far better this than making the miserable effort of distracting the minds of the people with the unattainable project which Mr. Joust O'CONNELL says should be made the rallying cry at the forth coming elections. According to the Carlsruhe Gazette his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of RUSSIA is expected to arrive at Stutgard towards the close of next month, and magnificent preparations are already commenced for his reception. Prince TSCHERNITSHEW, with several other emi nent personages, has obtained permission from the CZAR to journey in countries beyond the Russian frontier. By an express which has reached us from the Tagus, having started on the 9th instant from Lisbon, it appears, that the squadron captured by the British, off Oporto, has been consigned to the Go vernment of Queen MARIA Di GLonia.. The prize is estimated at somewhere about 200,0001. Report says, that all the English officers engaged in the seizure of the troops and property of the Pro visional Junta, are to receive "decorations" from the Cabinet of Lisbon. We presume that these symbols of distinction will be distributed rather in gratitude for the late ingenious settlement of affairs, than for any very heroic exhibition of courage. A Court of Inquiry has examined into the conduct of Lieutenant CRAWLEY of the Gladiator, for having directed shots to be fired into the Portuguese corvette whereby the life of a Portuguese soldier was sacri ficed. Mr. CRAWLEY stands acquitted. While the Junta have expressed their readit l es to accept the terms of the British inte rvention, the QUEEN'S Government continues to assert its wil lingness to fulfil its part of the engagements. Abolit the only remaining obstacle to the imme reconciliation of the belligerent parties in Portugal is the obstinate and gallant chieftain SA DA. BANDEIRA, who persists in holding out until he shall have re ceived authority for his submission. Discount on Moidore notes has fallen 1,600 reis. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. , (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, including 500 bales of American on speculation, and 500 for exportation. Full prices were obtained, and the market had a steady appearance. In Railway Shares there was a further improvement, and a considerable business was done at firm rates. The result of the debate, in the House of Lords last evening, upon the subject of the intervention of her Majesty's Government, has been received with satisfac tion among parties connected with the trade with Portugal, and by the creditors of that kingdom here. A confident opinion is entertained that a more stable ad ministration of the political and financial affairs of Portugal will be the result, by which all may be benefited. After the division in the Lords last night, the division in the Commons, should one be persevered in, is little heeded, as but few persons ever anticipated that the Mi nisters would be left in a minority upon the course which has been adopted towards England's " ancient ally." It is considered as a remarkable circumstance, that when the policy of the Government was so mate rially impugned by some, that there were at the division in the Upper House only 113 Members, and that the discussion in the Lower branch of the Legislature was cut short for the night by the House being counted out by a little before eight o'clock, when but 27 Members were present. Even Lord George Bentinek was absent. The arrivals from foreign parts do not bring later in telligence generally. A great many letters have come to hand from New York, by the Washington, and for the most part they confirm what has been previously stated as to the ample supplies of grain. It will probably be ascertained on 'Change this afternoon, whether the orders for goods by this opportunity are liberal. The Funds are rather heavier to day, and there have been one or two speculative sales. The weather, ac cording to the Bears, is calculated to render the harvest somewhat later than expected, and corn is said to be at Monday's rates, although not much is doing. Our corn reports, however, will show the truth of the matter. Consols have reached from 881 i to 871 ex dividend. Exchequer-bills are firm at 7s. to 10s. premium.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS. ► NEW YORK, MAY 31.—The Mexican war. which is the all-absorbing topic, progresses slowly In every conflict, whether great or &hall, the Mexicans are de feated—sometimes with great slaughter. The truth is, while they evince devotion to their country and firmness of mind, they have neither the military discipline nor the physical strength to cope with their enemy. They are badly armed, and destitute of the means to procure a better armament. What, under such circumstances, must be the result of the present war? Noihing short of an unconditional surrender of their country—their whole country. Although denied by those in power, I entertain no doubt the intention of the Administration is to pursue towards the Mexicans precisely the same policy which this Government has heretofore adopted in relation to the several tribes of Indians—purchase the most valuable part of their territory at a nominal, paltry sum, and then drive them into a sterile wilderness, where they must ultimately perish, and, as a nation, become extinct. Every movement indicates a fixed determination to appropriate all the revenue that can be levied and col lected in Mexico for the support of an army of 20,000 or 30,000 men to be stationed in that country. How long the American people will submit to such a revolting state of things as the Government is rapidly approach ing, I will not hazard a prediction, because it presupposes an abandonment of all principle. I am aware that such suggestions are but little con fided in, and that they are calculated to arouse unkind feelings in certain quarters. it so. Let them be re membered. It is my wish to call the attention of every moralist, every upright man to this subject. Most ar dently do I hope my country may escape the infamy and disgrace which I fear hovers around her. None living will rejoice more sincerely than your corresp-ndent, should he discover that his apprehensio• s were un founded. No ordinary circumstances, however, have excited them. It may, hereafter, become necessary to speak more plainly. If it does. it shall be done fear lessly, and in a tone worthy the advoca'• of justice and humanity. Our latest accounts are, from Jalapa the 11th, and from Vera Cruz the 13th of May. General Scott has issued a proclamation, dated Jalapa, the 11th of May, addressed to the Mexicans, in the hope of influencing them. The impression is very general that be is now in the city of Mexico. There are those, however, who entertain strong doubts of his attempting to enter that city until he has been joined by reinforcements, now on their way to head-quarters. While the United States army are advancing, General Scott, Commodore Perry, and Mr. Trist, are endeavour ing, it is said, to produce peace, but will not suspend hostilities until a treaty has been actually signed. In other words, the United States will consent to no tretl ty hut such as may be dictated at the cannon's mouth; and this, I have no doubt, is the determination of the Admi nistration. The prevailing opinion in this country is, that we &hall shortly have an end of the war. It may be so, but I see not the least prospect of such an event. The character of the war is about to change. It is highly pr .bable there will be no mere field fights. The Mexicans will hereafter a topt a guerilla system of war fare. Whether the Americans can be induced to re taliate, I pretend not to speak with certainty, but think they will not go further than to put to death captured Mexican officers. We are in constant anticipation of a sad explosion in the affairs of the Reading Railway Company (Pennsyl vania), from which it is apprehended that the most serious embarrassments will ensue. Understanding that British capitalists were largely interested in the success of this enterprise, I have felt it to be my duty to give you such rumours in relation to it as are current in the United States, and believed to be correct. A bill, praying for an injunction, and the appointment of a receiver, was filed a few weeks since, charging gross mismanagement, and in several instances fraudulent issues of bonds, to raise funds to sustain heavy specula tions. The company commenced with a capital of one million of dollars, and is now in debt more than eleven millions. In each year its business increases, but the revenue by no means keeps pace with the outlay. In April, 1845, the Legislature of Pennsylvania passed an Act to legalise all previous negotiations, however usurious, and under the guise of this indemnity bonds have been since issued bearing date July, 1844. It will thus readily be imagined that the exposure of such au operation should affect most injuriously the credit of the company. These peculiar issues were for 3,000,000 dollars, and though put into circulation in 1846, no mention or reference is made to them in the annual re port of January, 1847. To cover this transaction a negotiation was set on foot to sell 2,000,000 dolls. of bonds at a discount of 30 per cent., with a semi-annual coupon attached, payable in July next, making the company pay 650,000 dolls. for the use of 1,350,000 dolls. The bill of injunction has, however, put a stop to this bargain, and a new list has been "subscribed," stated to be for 1,500,000 dolls. at par, which subscription is represented to be made for the purpose of discharging the floating debt, without dis count, bonds of 1844 included. The capital of the company, as reported in January, _ 1846, was 2,020,000 dolls . . ; and in January, 1847, it is stated to he 3,434,000 dolls. The indebtedness of the road at the first period was 10,328,500 dolls., and at the latter, 11,580,600 dolls., exclusive of the 3,000,000 dolls. antedated bonds. In the fiscal year of the company ending the Ist of December, 1846, the quantity of coal transported was 1,188,256 tons, yielding a revenue of 1.600,000 dolls., at an average rate per ton of 1 doll. 35-100 c. ; and, according to a recent statement, it ap pears that 414,967 tons have been transported in five months ending the Ist of May, at the rate of 1 doll. 15-100 c., against 295,546 tons, during the corresponding period of last year, charged at 1 doll. 35-100 c. The floating debt of the company has been annually increasing over 1,200,000 dolls., which has been succes sively paid off by the sale of stock, or the issue of bonds, of which most of those put into circulation are ante dated. It is charged, that the concern is managed by stock speculators, and now only lives through the ease in our monetary affairs. If we had any tightness in the market, its failure would be inevitable; in fact, it is th mght to be only postponed. I r gret the net. ssity, in my opinion, of stating the preceding details, which have been carefully collected, and which I have no doubt will be found substantially correct. A New Orleans paper of late date states, that General Patterson " thinks that we ought not to look for, or solicit a peace, but proceed to conquer and occupy the whole of Mexico." 40,000 men are deemed adequate for this purpose. The General adds, " When we have gone to work, and shown the Mexicans that we are in earnest, and determined to seize the whole country, they will soon be brought to their knees, and will be ready to ac cept of any terms we may offer." In the public journals which accompany this letter, you will find a speech of Colonel Benton, delivered at St. Louis. It abounds in egotistical remarks, but not withstanding is welt worth a perusal. It contains a brief statement of some historical events not generally known or understood. The Colonel, however studiously avoids expressing his opinion of Mr. Pulk's policy in making war upon Mexico. The design of the speech is evident to the most superficial observer. It was prompted by hostility to senator Calhoun, of South Ca rolina, and intended to assail him in an unsparing man ner. Between these two distinguishi d statesmen there is an impassable gulf, so that reconciliation is next to impossible. Their virulence towar ds each other isthere tore more likely to increase than suliside, as be seen during the next session of Congress. At the last accounts from Mr. Webster, it was an ticipated that be would r each Charleston in a few this days, Southerner and embark on boa rd the steamer i Jr c ity ou the 31st (this day) o f Ma y . It will afford the numerous friends of this distinguished man at home and abroad great pleasure to learn that his health has much improved.

HERRING TRADE.—WICI, JUNE 3.—During the past week 356 barrels of herrings have been landed here, from the Levis, making the total import, up to this date, from that island, 976 barrels. By recent accounts the flatting was progressing favourably. A good many boats have attempted the fishing, with the hook, in this neigh - bourhood, during the week. On Monday evening they were partially successful, several having a few dozens of herrings which were used for bait. On the subsequent evenings the success was less, as very few were got. The fishermen will now, as the season is advancing, persevere in their efforts, and will be trying the nets in about a month hence, if not less. Preparations for the fishing are now going on, somewhat slowly. 'I he fishermen are busily employed in barking their nets, and making other preliminary arrangements. FOOD IttoTs.—lt is with much regret we have to announce the recommencement of food riots in the West. A requisition for the military arrived here on Wednesday at 12 o'clock, and by 2 o'clock a company of the sth Fusiliers with 18 gunners, and drivers, two non-commissioned officers, and one officer of the Royal Artillery, and two six pounder field pieces, were put on hoard the Confiance steamer, which sailed immediately for .

A dispatch has been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign Office, enclosing copies of dispatches received from her Ma jesty's Consuls at Malaga and Alexandria, reporting the loss of the above British vessels. The Fulmer, Captain Cracker, from Smyrna, went on shore, on the 22d of April, two leagues west of Estepona, and lies embedded in a shoal of rocks, with no hopes of her being got off; crew saved. The Brig Treby, of Hartlepool, Captain Hutchinson, for Alexandria, was lost on a sunken rock, near Cape Lecko, Coast of Lebya, N.W. of Port Sallornne, on the 25th of April ; crew saved. CONTINENTAL ACCOUNTS. - From Marseilles we a w a e h e h a a t d , o s n u e s p o e f n t d h e e d m p o a s: n e e x n t t e . n s The housesliabilities e n g a a learn that, in consequence of the sudden decline in the price at at of tr 3,000,000 f. (120,0001.) It is said that some of the Greek g re ed sta il t l e t a h houses in this country are sufferers. At Marseilles this failure had created considerable anxiety, as it was feared that others would follow in consequence. While a sudden fall had taken place in the prices of wheat at Marseilles, several of the markets in the north are advised as being higher, and among the rest that of Paris. Some of our readers are aware that an attempt was made some time ago to introduce the beetroot sugar of France in a raw (muscovado) state, in the hope it would find a market among our refiners. The sugar looked extremely well, but the taste and ficiVOUr were so bad that the attempt has entirely failed, and we learn that the greatest part of that which was imported has again already been returned to France. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has received from "Z. S. Y." the remaining halves of notes for 45/. The aruotuat will be paid into the receipt of the Exchequer. Madrid journals of the 9th have been received. A ridiculous rumour is given utterance to in the Faro, to the effect that ABD-EL-KADER had forwarded an autographic letter to Queen IsanELLA, entreating her puissant mediation between himself and his Majesty Louis PHILIPPE. The report is most im probable, or, supposing it to be in any degree correct, it could scarcely be regarded as anything more than a pleasant piece of badinage, a sort of don't-you-wish you-may-get-me-joke on the part of the übiquitous but invisible Arab. Monsignor BRUNELLI is said to have entirely failed in his endeavours to effect a reconciliation between King FizaNcisco and his royal wife : the former is agitated by all kinds of old wives' tales from the lips of the creatures of Queen CHRISTINA, at the head of which delectable clan is the Duke of GLUCKSBERG. Considerable excitement had been caused by the publication of an article in the Tiempo (one of the presumed organs of the Government), which asserted that previous to the memorable double nuptials, her MAJESTY had emphatically expressed her personal an tipathy to Don FRANCISCO, and her repugnance to any such alliance. The entrance of the Spanish troops into Valet= do Minho is described in almost all the Madrid newspapers. It is expected that General SERRANO is shortly to receive his appointment as Captain-General of Madrid. A very general impression is abroad that the mongrel Cabinet of PACHECO and SALAMANCA is tottering to its foundations. Upon the same prin ciple of graduation which has latterly been visible in Spanish politics, we shall anticipate a yet more liberally disposed Administration. The Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash; the Four per Cents. at 18; the Five per Cents. at 18; Pas sives, at 51; and the Coupons at 15. Paris papers of Monday have been received. Almost the whole of the attention of the journalists is directed to the triple interference in Portugal, and the Prase is especially violent in the expression of its indignation with England. In the course of its dia tribe it speaks as follows : " Many persons, perhaps, are disposed to shut their eyes, saying that the material danger of the interven tion is not very great—that the Junta has already been vanquished, or made its submission—that very little French blood will be shed, and that the country will probably be restored to peace, order, and durable con cord. But, should all this prove to be true, the inter ♦ention will, nevertheless, remain to be regretted. We have thereby virtually destroyed the moral force of our external political policy. We have restored to all the great powers the right of interfering in their turn wher ever it may seem good to them, or may be induced to ex ercise it for their own interests, or the gratification of their own fancy. How can we ever presume to prevent them, after having set them the example? If it should to-morrow please Austria to intervene in Italy, in the Roman States, or elsewhere, upon what principle could we attempt to arrest the march of her troops? We should not even have the right to protest, and a new expedition to Ancona would not only be dangerous, but ridiculous! This is the most serious point in which to view this affair. Whether M. Guizut has taken the initiative, or only gone along with Lord Palmerston—a truly worthy associate—in this intervention, the con sequence is precisely the same. In either case we have violated the principle which constituted our strength i❑ our foreign relations—we have served the cause of England at the expense of our own dignity—and thus depriving ourselves of the only means of defence left us fur the future—the independence and freedum of the secondary states. Never was there a fault committed so rashly that has been so disastrous in its consequences. It will be discovered hereafter, but unfortunately too late !" The Constitutionne/ is yet more impassioned in the indications of its wrath : it exclaims— " Absolutist Governments of Europe—you, M. de Metternich, and you, Autocrat of Russia, pardon our Cabinet, which, as you know well, is one of you. Par don it for having lent itself for a 'moment to the preju dices of this mischief-maker, this revolutionist, Lord Palmerston ! Must it not obtain permission to be admitted' to the arrangements that may be made with respect to Portugal ! It solicits that grace ; you see that it is obliged to concede something, at least in words, to the intractable Liberalism of this English Minister ! Pardon, then, this feebleness of M. Guizot; he will make it up to you with usury when Switzerland is in question." In a similar strain the Union illonarchigne ob- serves-- "This intervention rests on no principle whatever. As to England, the matter in hand was to assume the dictatorship, and to exercise it by the intermediation of her agent, M. de Palmella. As to France, it is different - -with her, nothing can be seen but a desire to evince her servility to England." The Courrier Francais says : "As to the part which M. Guir)t has played in this affair, we hardly know whether it produces most con tempt or indignation. We can hardly understand how M. Guizot had the courage to present all these docu ments. We cannot conceive how he can have exhibited to light the shameful snare which Lord Palmerton had laid for him. The English Minister has conducted the negotiations in such a way as to throw on France all the odium of the crime now consummated in Portugal." The Commerce, in like manner, observes upon the convention proffered to Portugal, that M. GUIZOT has "yielded to the brutality of English policy." The Journal des Debats is virtually silent upon the matter; and the National mentions it in a tone of rage, tempered by a sentiment of sorrow. " Of the three foreign Powers," it remarks, " who had signed the protocol France is the only one which has refrained up to this moment from actively co operating in this violation of the national rights of Portugal. Still she has morally been an accomplice in the transaction, and her signature at the bottom of the protocol, as well as the presence of the national standard floating on board a brig-of-war in the middle of the English squadron, and assisting as a shame ful witness in the events we have described, attest the melancholy part which our Government reserved for themselves in the deplorable act there (at Oporto) accomplished." We have given these extracts from the Parisian press for the purpose of indicating the unanimity of our French contemporaries in a feeling of ardent devotion to the sanctity of constitutional privileges. We sym pathise to the uttermost in their reverence for that great principle, but we are satisfied, after the accept ance of Mr. DUNCOMBE'S amendment, and the mas terly explanation of Mr. MACAVLAY, that they are entirely mistaken in their notion of the culpability of the British Government. The Courrier Francais announces that arrange ments are being made for the settlement of a commer cial treaty between France and Greece. On the Bth inst. Marshal BUGEAUD had arrired al Cette.

A MIRACLE.—M. Alcan and M. Rene, a print publisher and printer were indicted before the tribune at Paris for having, without being duly authorised to do so, printed and published an engraving, accompanied by letter-press text, giving an account of " the Apparition of the Holy Virgin to two Children on a Mountain of SallAte, on Saturday, the 19th September, 1846." The account sets forth how two children, employed in watching cows in the mountains, beheld a vision of the Holy Virgin, who was weeping upon a rock. She called and spoke to them, making sundry complaints of the irregular manner in which masses had been said to her, and if matters were not mended, threatened a continuance, with increased severity, of the potato disease, which she said was owing to the carelessness and inattention shown to the rites of religion, which were left to the care of old men, while the young ones amused themselves and scoffed at its mysteries. If the potato disease did not suffice to turn them from the error of their ways, she threatened the world with an utter failure of the corn crops the following year ; if that did not do, with a com plete famine the next year ; and if all these means did not do, she would kill all children under seven years of age the following one. But if men turned to her with true repentance, corn and potatoes should flourish as they had never done before, and the world would prosper. She commanded the two children to relate to every one what had occurred She walked talking with them for about half an hour, and they observed that the grass did not bend beneath her feet; she then gradually faded away in mist till she was gone. They gave a very accurate account of her dress and appearance. Since then, a confirmatory account of the first statement had appeared, which further declared that a spring of water had sprung up where she sat, and that the rock had been en dowed with certain miraculous properties. Some officers of the neighbouring garrison had experimented upon a piece of it at their quarters. On striking it with a knife, it burst open with a loud noise, displaying a head of Christ with a crown of thorns. The deposition of the two children was taken in the presence of five ecclesiastics, and a number of laymen, and had made a great impression in the neighbourhood where the vision occurred. Judgment on the printer and publisher has been postponed.—Gazette des Tribuneaux. ANNOYING AND ASSAULTING ADMIRAL BOUCIIIER. —Mark M'Cormack was charged on Tuesday, at West minster P dice-court, with attempting to break into the bedroom of one of Admiral Bouchier's female servants, and also with assaulting the Admiral. Admiral Bou chier occupied a suite of apartments in d-fendant's house, and during the last few days he and his servants had been subjected to considerable annoyance by the defendant. About eleven o'clock on Monday night Jane Isaacs, one of the Admiral's servants, met the defendant on the drawing-room stairs and asked him where he Ras going, when he replied, to the drawing-room, as it belonged to him. As the drawing-room was in her master's occupancy, she told him that he could not enter there, at the same time informing him that a female servant was sleeping in the room. He replied, with an oath, that he did not care, and endeavoured to enter the room, which was locoed. The servant, alarmed at the noise he made, came out in her night clothes, and was proceeding to call the police, when the defendant knocked her down in some way and very much bruised her. The admiral, who had retired to rest for above an hour, heard the melee, and left his room to ascertain the cause of the disturbance, when defendant abused him in the vilest manner, upon which he called in a police con stable, and for a short time all was quiet. rhe defen. Janes violence continued, and, at the request of Ad [Diva' Bouchier, a gentleman, a next door resident, who had been alarmed by the cries of " Murder," came in to protect the Admiral's lady and family whilst he went for a police-constable. On his return, he en deavoured to obtain an entrance, when the de fendant struck him a blow with a candlestick on the chin, after which he grasped him so firmly by the throat that the complainant imaeined he was going to strangle him. Mr. Byers, the gentleman alluded to, who bad been left in charge of the family, fortunately came up at the moment, and with great difficulty re leased the Admiral from defendant's hold. Defendant entered into a lengthened rambling story, having no im mediate reference to the charge, and said that having heard some reports prejudicial to the Admiral, as re• garded his non-payment of little matters, he was de sirous that he should leave his house, and acting under an impression that he should not get his money ot the Admiral, admitted that he was very much excited and unguarded in his language, but denied the assault. The Admiral, who had previously stated that it was only his wish that defendant should be held to bail to keep the peace towards him, positively denied the assertions contained in the prisoner's defence to his prejudice. Mr. llroderip ordered the defendant to find good bail to keep the peace.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—We perceive that Mr. Massingham, the indefatigible and obliging box-book keeper of the Princess's, will take his annual benefit at that theatre this evening ; we are sure his friends will rally around him on the occasion, and that all who value a constant and unceasing civility, and an anxious desire to render every one within his depaftment the greatest possible amount of ac commodation, will testify their sense of his uniform good conduct. baLMON.—The salmon appear to have entered the rivers at last, and in great numbers, several stations having bad as many last week as for any month since the commencement of the season, prices aro conse quently greatly reduced, and should fine weather con tinue, a further reduction may be expected.—Caledonian Mercury. JENNY LIND IN MANCEIESTER.—The Manchester Theatre Royal is to have the enviable distinction of being the only one in the provinces, within whose walls the bewitching notes of the Swedish nightingale are to be heard. The furore excited in the metropolis by this celebrated cantatrice seems still unabated, if we may judge by what we hear of the high prices paid, of the coats and dresses torn, hats and shoes lost, and the crushing and faintings at the entrances of her Majesty's Theatre, every night that Jenny Lind appears. As soon as the theatre closes this ex traordinary songstress and actress—for she is both to an extent approaching perfection—is to give two perform ances in our Theatre Royal. This engagement has been made by the proprietor, on such terms that he can only be remunerated by full houses, at prices of admission considerably above those usually t a ken; but we have no doubt that, whatever the price of admission, the house will be crammed on each occasion.

FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, as the fine ship Harrison Chil ton was about to proceed on her voyage to Bombay, a very serious accident occurred on board, which, we aro sorry to say, has unfortunately proved fatal. It appears that, at the above hour, the vessel was being hauled out of the Prince's Dock Basin, when suddenly the hawser connecting her with the steamer slipped its " bight."
