ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti rYlng the TEETH and strengthening the G 1131.;. It eradicates tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the Most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its saluhrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath. /Icing an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers, ?scurry is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness are inflnced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in theft' sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth NWder ever know, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of Years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe. Price 2s. 9d. per bog. UACTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis -smners of Stamps have directed the proprietors' name and address to be engraved on the Government stamp, thus "A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-garden," which is affixed on each box. Sold by the Proprietors, and by Chemists arid Perfumers. TIMOTHY TRIM. I'll sing you a song of Sir Timothy Trim, In the hope that you'll all learn a lesson from him ; Sir Timothy Trim was a very smart man, And he dress'd on a very superior plan. In order that this might be properly done, Sir Timothy dealt with E. MOSES and SON; Nor was it a foolishly fanciful whim— But it showed the good taste of Sir Timothy Trim. Whatever Sir Timothy wish'd to put on, He was certain to favour E. MOSES and SON; Who furnished not only Sir Timothy's clothes, But Hats for his head piece, and Boots for his toes. And oh ! how he came from his toilet ! how smart ! How likely to win a susceptible heart ! Whenever I've happemed to gaze upox him I have felt a respect for Sir Timothy Trim. Sir Timothy's sons (as you'll readily guess) tildied fashion by going to MOSES' for dress ; And Sir Timothy's lady and daughters of course Choose MOSES' choice Habits when mounting a horse ; And Sir Timothy's servants, as tasty and smart, Had their liveries made at the very same Mart ; All the household, in fact, were in keeping with him-- And was not that wise of Sir Timothy Trim ? May all learn a lesson and nobody trample On Sir Timothy's precept and noble example. Sir Timothy's creed was a true one—that none Can in any way equal E. MOSES and SON. And how was Sir Timothy's household admired'. What thousands applauded who saw them attired : And hence. I repeat, take a lesson from him, And study yourself and Sir Timothy Trim.

At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 55 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent, for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following arc the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

The solitary one may shield hlin,elf under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret tin comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness a. , .d social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by u .qualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little puflications claim your attention (same price is. each, by post Is. 61.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the m .xlms he would Inculcate —t I do unto others as he would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

SPANISH AMERICAN BOND HOLDERS. The following correspondence has taken place between the Chairman of the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders and the Consul• General of the Republic of the Equator:— LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 2. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) BEARD v. EGERTON AND OTHERS. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in try• ing this case, which was brought for the infringement of the patent for Daguerreotype, taken out in this coun try by Mr. Berry, and of which the plaintiff became assignee. Sir F Thesiger, Q.C. (with Mr. Robinson and Mr. Webster), appeared fg the plaintiff ; and Mr. Watson, Q.C. (with Mr. J. Bri6'wn), for the de•endant. The invention called Daguerreotype is well known as a means of producing pictures and likenesses by the action of light, and it appeared from the evidence given on the part of the plaintiff, that in the preparation of the plates, before putting them into the camera obscure, it is essential they should be exposed to the evaporation of iodine, in order to produce the sensitive coating. It iodine, however, is only used, the image from which the representation is taken must be stationary, and the pro cess is, besides, very slow; and it has since been found a great improvement to use iodine with chlorine or bro mine, as it considerably increases the sensitiveness of the coating and accelerat es t h e p r ocess of taking the likeness. In the specification to the patent the use of iodine only is pointed out. At the close of the plaintiff's case, Mr. WATSON took several objections, the principal of which was, that th e specification was inaccurate. The patentee had stated various stages in the process, and had accordingly divided the specification into various separate parts. In the first of these parts acid was stated as proper to be used for the cleaning of the plates, and towards the end of that first part the following paragraph occurs :—" When the plate is not intended for immediate use or operation the acid may be used only twice upon its surface after being exposed to heat. The first part of the operation may be done at any time. This will allow of a number of plates being kept prepared up to the last slight operation. If; is, feewe7er i consickred indispen sable that just before the moment of using the plates in the camera, or the reproducing the designs, to put at least once more some acid on the plate, and to rub it lightly with pounce as before stated." The evidence showed, and indeed it was admitted, that if the acid or rubbing were applied after the plates had received the iodine, it e ould entirely destroy their efficacy ; and therefore it was contendEd the specification was bad, as a party could not follow out this part of the specification as described. On the other side it was contended that no ordinary person could be misled by the specification ; as the only object of the first pert was to get the plates ready for the second part of the process, which related to the exposing of the plates to the operation of iodine, it could not be supposed that the acid was to be applied after the iodine had been used. His LORDSHIP, however, was of opinion that the specification was in this respect, to say the least, am biguous. The public were not to be compelled to read the whole of the specification, and then to reason on the whole, when so read together. Here it was stated the acid should be used just before the moment of repro ducing the designs. The time was rointed out so dis tinctly and emphatically, that the specification was cal culated to noiNlead, although probably it was not so in tended. Still it it left it in any doubt it was equally objectionable. Mr. WATSON then subrcitt ,, d that the use of chlorine and bromine in conjunction with iodine was not an in fringement of the patent; but His LORDSHIP held otherwise. Upon which Mr. WATSON declined addressing the _ jury; _ And a verdict was then taken for the plaintiff on all the issues except the one raising the above obj , ction to the specification, and on that the verdict was entered for the defendants, leave being given to the plaintiff to move thereon before the Court next term. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Smith was charged with having committed Frauds. John Thompson, tailor, of Wellington-place West, East India Dock-road, said,—On 'Thursday, the 24th of June, the prisoner came to my shop, and said he be longed to the ship Kestrel, the property of Mr. Smith, of Newcastle; that he was chief officer of the vessel, which was being repaired in Mr. Green's dock, Blackwall; that he was recommended to me to get his outfit by several customers of mine, and that he was going out in her again a long voyage. He then gave me an order for the usual outfit to the amount of about 701., said he would write home for the money, and that he would draw 1001. I asked him whether he was sure he could get it, to which he replied, " Yes, it was all his own private money, and he should have it on the following Tuesday, until which time he would be short of cash." lie asked me ti) let him have a couple of sovereigns, and I accommodated him. Next day he came and received 31. morei l from• . me, and finally he got from me 101., a ll o f w hi c h h e pro mised to return to me on Tuesday, the 29th of June. He told me to have some of the clothes ready for him on Monday, as he was going into the country on that day. He called on Monday to try on the clothes, but I had in the meantime discovered that he was a regular cheat, and, having asked him up stairs and said that I should be under the necessity of giving him into custody, he in stantly started up, jumped over the balusters of the stairs, and escaped. - Thomas Cox, foreman to Mr. Thompson, deposed as to the advance of the various sums of money by his em ployer to the prisoner, and the pretext upon which the prisoner required the cash. On Monday last the prisoner walked into the shop, and asked whether the things he had ordered were ready, saying that he wanted a suit that night, as he was going down to Southampton. Witness, at his request, aft er h e was c h a rged with being a cheat, accompanied him to the dock. where it was denied that he b e l onged to the vessel at a ll. The pri soner subsequently gave witness a letter , a uthorisin g him to receive a ch eque fur 201. from a gr- Morley, who, upon being applied to , refused to honour t h e cheque, and gave a very b a d c h aracter of the writer o f i t. It was proved by one of the owners of the Kestrel that the prisoner was not chief officer of that vessel, nor at all employed in their service. James Slatter, shopman to Messrs. Baldwin, of Corn hill, drapers and tailors, stated that on the 28th of June the prisoner called at their shop, and ordered a suit of uniform and other articles, stating at the same time that he was first officer of th e Alar;borough, ly in g in the East India d oc k s; that Messrs. Stnith , of Cor were the own ers , and that he was then go ing to hill, them getting tor the purpose of some money from them u p on account. In a f ew minutes he returne d , and said their office was closed, and he ultimate l y prevailed upon witness to lend hi m 3s. to pay for his retu rn to the ship. The prisoner w as committed upon t h e two charges. Henry Gratz, f oreman to Messrs. Moses, of Tower hill, tailors, was comm i tted for tria l u pon the charge of having pawned a pair of trowsers, the property of a customer to the firm. The duplicate of the trowsers was found in his pocket by a policeman. GULL D HALL.

It was the same now produced. The prisoner declined offering any defence. Mr. Alderman Ginns committed him for trial. MARLBOROUGH - STREET. Gaspar Gena, a f ore igner employed in the orchestra of the Italian Opera House, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for having endangered the life of Madeline Lampion, lady's-maid to Madame Ro,zi de B • Begnis, by throwing her down stairs. A certificate from Middlesex was Hospital handed to the magistrate to prove that the complainant, owing to the injuries she had sustained, was unable for the present to appear personally to make her complaint. Charlotte HarwoJd said she was servant about a fort night ago to Mrs. Harris, of No. 184, Regent • street, whore the defendant occupied an apartment, and where Madame de Begnis also lodged. About a fortnight ago she heard complainant. The words from Madame de Begnis t o the - The defendant joined in the disturbance, and, after some words, he laid hold of the complainant and threw her down stairs. Witness saw the complainant fall and went to assist her to rise. The complai ' nant went into the kitchen and sat down. In a few minutes she began to spit blood, and she then requested witness to assist her to a box which was in the next kitchen that she might lie down on it. The complainant did lie down, but in a short time she went into co • nvulsions. It was found necessary to send for a medical man, who advised the immediate removal of the complainant to the hos- (Copy.) "13, Austinfriars, June 24, 1847. " Sir,—The Committee of Spanish American Bond holders, perceiving by the public journals that you have received the appointment of Consul-General of the Re public of the Equator, request the favour of your in forming them whether you have received any instruc tions from the Government of that republic, to enter into communication with the committee in reference to the adjustment of the foreign debt of that republic.

" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt or your letter of the 11th inst., requesting to know if the Government of the republic which I serve has authorised me to communicate with the committee in reference to the adjustment of the Equatorian foreign debt. "I beg to state in reply, that officially I have received no such instruction ; but I think it right to inform you that his Excellency Don Vicente R. Roca, President of the republic, has expressed in his communications to me his desire to re-establish the credit of Egnador in this country. The civil wars and consequent dilapidation of the public treasury previously to his accession to Ida office left the Government then, and I fear still leaves it, without immediate means of carrying a satisfactory arrangement with the bondholders into effect; but I am persuaded that, the inlornal peace of the country being how assured, the Government will turn its serious atten tion to some early arrangement with the English bond holders. "I beg to take this opportunity of stating that I am desired, in a di'patch which I received by last packt•t from Don Manuel Gom;•z de la Torre, Minister of Equa dor, to correct, publicly, a misapprehension which hus arisen that a trtrm of two years had been fixed on for i.orivi , rting the old Columbian into Equatorian Bonds in Quito, after which time all claims would be wholly ex cluded. No measure of this or any other kind, tending to invalidate the claims of the English bondholders has emanated from the Equatorian Government. " rnave the honour, &c., (Signed) " W. PARISH ROBERTSON.

Mr. Long read an elaborate paper on the potato disease, which he attriouted to the noxious influence of a comet on the atmosphere of the earth. lie also stated that the haulm of the plant had been generally found to be first affected, and that the best preventive of disease was to cut off the stalk, and ri.commended that this should be done in next August.

The complainant had found herself so much better as to be enabled to quit the hospital; but it appeared that she had overrated her convalescence, and that she had been again obliged to have recourse to the hospital. Louisa Harding, another servant, said she saw the complainant fall down stairs, but she did not know who had thrown her down. The complainant appeared to hare been thrown down with great force, and seemed much injured. Madame Ronzi de Begnis said the complainant was her servant. The complainant was rude and disobedient on the morning of the accident. The defendant remon strated with the complainant, and gave her a slight push, but he used no violence towards her. The defence was that the complainant fell down stairs accidentally. The defendant was ordered to find bail, himself in 100/., and two sureties in 801. each. Prince Napoleon Louis Buonaparte, of Ne. 3 A, King street, St. James's square, yesterday attended at this court to prefer a charge against Charles Pollard, of No. 10,Essex-street, Strand, for having obtained from him, under fraudulent pretences, two bills of exchange for 1,0001. each. his Highness wished to defer the charge until he had an opportunity of obtaining the professional advice of his solicitor. Mr. HARDWICK said, before he could remand the prisoner he must have some statement on which to act. .- His Highness then said, on the 14th of June the pri soner called on him at his apartments in King-street, and stated he was a money lender. After some con versation the prisoner induced him to give 2,000/. in two bills of 1,0001. each into his hands for the purpose of getting them discounted. The prisoner, at the same time, said that if he (Prince Napoleon) would sign the bills, he would bring him the money on the following day. Believing the prisoner to be an honest man, he signed the bills, and the prisoner went away. The pri soner called the next day to say he could not bring the money that day, but he would the day after. Since that period he had neither seen the bills nor the prisoner. The bills in question were drawn by the prisoner, who, at the first interview, was provided with stamps. A gentleman from the office of Messrs. Bush and Mullens entered the court, and stated that be appeared professionally for Prince Napoleon. The Prince stated that Messrs. Bush and Co. were in possession of the letters which would throw a com plete light on the transaction, and therefore he would wish to defer the imperfect explanation he could give until a future day. _ Mr. HARDWICK appointed Saturday to go into the charge. BOW-STREET. James Duncomle, a costermonger, was charged with stealing a seive or basket of potatoes, from Mr. Pullen, a salesman in Covent-garden market. Mr. Pullen said that the prisoner entered his shop this morning, and asked the price of some new potatoes. lie paid the price, ss. 6d., and lifted the sieve on the shoul ders of a man who was with him, who took it away. The prisoner lingered for some time, and at last took up another sieve, and walked off with it. He (prosecu tor) did not interfere with him, but followed and watched him to James's-street, where he overtook his companion, who had the sieve they had bought upon his head. As the prisoner came up to this man, he pointed to a bar row at the opposite side of the street, and they crossed over towards it. They were just placing the basket on the barrow when witness overtook theta, and told the prisoner he must bring the other sieve back. The pri soner said he did not know when he took it that the other man had taken it away. Witness then gave him in charge. The prisoner, in defence, said that he was not aware that his man had taken one sieve away at the time he himself took the second. Mr. HENRY said that was impossible, as the prisoner himself helped his companion to lift the basket up, and he could not have forgotten that so soon. He would commit him if Mr. Pullen would prosecute. Mr. Pullen expressed his wish to prosecute. Mr. HENRY then committed the prisoner for trial. CLERKEN WELL. Margaret Connor and Mary Jenkins, her daughter, who were formerly the proprietors of the noted " old house in West-street," the reminiscences of which afforded the basis of a plot at many of the " minors" some three years ago, w ere charged with a brutal assault upon " Jack White," a crossing sweeper. It appeared that the prisoners kept an infamous den in Field-lane, and one of their lodgers having offended, they required Jack, who was noted as a bruiser, to " do battle" on their behalf. To this, however, Jack de murred, when the younger prisoner came behind him and, with a three-legged stool, stretched him at full length, and both the prisoners attacked him, and would, according to his own statement, have killed him only for tho police. They were,fined 205., and, in default, sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment, with hard labour. LAMBETH. • James Arter was placed„arthe.bar before Mr. N4rton,, on a charge .of stealing sevetatverticleg of pl a t e from thS residence of Mr. Richard Pittman, No. 6, Kennington terrace, Upper Kennington-lane. Harriet Barwick, a servant to' Mr. Pittman, deposed that on the evening before, about six o'clock, the pri soner came to her master's house, and said he was sent from Mr. Pritchard's to put in a pane of glass. She (witness) had not heard of any such order, and told him miscometaken N ; o b . u s t , h K e e n s a n i i d n g h t e o n w - as te rr n a o e t e. ; t s h h a e t t h h e ou w g a h s t h to e ld wa t s o d K o n i n o g w i s n o g m t e h a g t l tazier's o c r h k a rd fo r h ad her been s t i e n r, t h a h e e hab let i tof the he prisoner in, and accompanied him up stairs ; and, in the back room of the first floor, found a pane of glass with a small piece broken. It then occurred to her that Mr. Pittman had told Mr. Pritchard to send a person to mend it, and that the prisoner was the person. On examining the square at' glass, the prisoner said, that to prevent his breaking the upper part of it, he must have a knife heated ; and he took a knife out of his basket. He then asked where he could heat it ; and the witness told him to take it down to the kitchen, which he did. As soon as he had left the room she (wit ness) examined his i basket, and finding no glass there she at once suspected him, and determined to watch him closely. She consequently followed the prisoner into the kitchen, where the plate used for dinner was lying about, and, in the prisoner's presence, collected the dif ferent articles, and put them into a drawer, which she locked. The prisoner subsequently went down stairs twice for the purpose, as he alleged, of heating the knife. The last time he went, she followed him half way down the stairs, when she heard him take some of the plate which she had left in the closet, and this in duced her to go down the whole way into the kitchen, but in such a way that the prisoner must have heard her. Before reaching the kitchen she plainly heard the prisoner close the plate-closet door, and saw him walk from it towards the fire-place. Immediately after he went up stairs, and on his doing so, she (witness) exa mined the closet, and missed a silver cream jug, six tea spoons, two eggspoons, a mustardspoon, and a teapot stand, all silver, and which she hai placed there when she took the other plate away, and locked it up. She then hurried up stairs, and opened the hall door to look for a policeman, and just as she had done so the pri soner was coming down stairs. He said, " Well, lam tired of my job ; I think I shall leave it now, and come in the morning." She said," You can please yourself," and he went out, taking his basket with him. She fol lowed him, and he saw her, and she went into a shop for a moment. When she came out again he was just turn ing the end of Devonshire. street, and when she got there she saw him running with all his might. She pursued him, calling out " Stop him, stop him !" and on turning out of Devonshire -street, he was stopped by a policeman, and brought back. The cream jug and other articles produced were the same she had missed, and were Mr. Pittman's property. Mr. NORTON, after complimenting the witness on her excellent conduct, and the manner in which she had acted, asked her how it was that she allowed the prisoner to leave the house with the property ?—She replied that, although perfectly aware that he had taken the property, she was afraid, from being alone, to stop him in the house. She, however, had made up her mind not to let him escape, but follow him until she could obtain the assistance of the police, to have him secured. William King, a glassblower, said he saw the prisoner during his flight throw a basket over a wall, and, sus pecting from this he had been doing something wrong, he followed and secured him. On his doing so the prisoner drew from his pocket some of the articles produced, and exclaimed, " Take these, and let me go, or else you'll get me transported!" At this moment a policeman came up, and he gave the prisoner into his charge. Mr. Pritchard, No. 4, East-place, Kennington-road, plumber and glazier, stated that he had been occa sionally employed by Mr. Pittman, but had not sent the prisoner to that gentleman's residence on the day before, nor did he know anything whatever about the prisoner. The prisoner, who declined offering anything in his defence, was fully committed to take his trial on the charge, but as it was represented by several of the officers of police that a number of robberies had recently been committed under similar circumstances, he will be again brought up on Monday next, when it is thought that other charges will be established against him. WORSHIP-STREET. This being the day appointed f r the completion of the evidence against George Dean, alias Clarke, alias ill'Gree, the soi-disant ship's carpenter, who has been repeatedly remanded on Le charge of obtaining money and goods to an immense extent under false pretences, the Court was literally besieged with individuals of almost all grades who had preferred charges against him, many of which had resolved themselves into char cases of felony. The depositions were read over by Mr. Vine, thechiet clerk, and the following arc among the prisoner's numer ous delinquencies: — Ruth Arnold, the widow of a seaman in her Majesty's service, residing at Gravesend, stated that the pri soner resided in her house a few weeks since, representing himself as a ship's carpenter, an d stating that he had upwards of four hundred pounds, place ounds, the produce of his sa vin g s, in t h e bank of that After remaining some time with her, and living su Di ptll: o usly at her expense, the prisoner induced her to lend him a few shillings. She had then wholly lost sight of him ; and on examining her drawers soon after his departure she discovered that a certificate for a large amount of prize -money, duo to her late husband, had disappeared. S. Knowles, City police-constable 2 6 3 , produced the PRICE SD. I certificate, which was identified by Mrs. Arnold, and also a number of school-books and children's samplers, which were found upon the prisoner at the time of his apprehension. the latter articles were identified by Charles Holmes, a journeyman carpenter in Fashion street, Spits,'fields, who proved that after lodging some time at his house the prisoner suddenly absconded, and, besides the property in question, carried off the whole of his tools. Mr. Thomas Goddard, landlord of the King's Arms Tavern, at Graves en d ; M rs . B roc k nall, the wife of a shoemaker, in Shoreditch, from whom the prisoner oh tainel the money on the pretence that he was about to receive 2501. at the Jamaica Coffee-house, the amount of his wages as a carpenter on board the Sarah, American liner; Mr. Moss, of Tottenham -court-road, who supplied him with a suit of clothes that he might appear in decent trim at the Admiralty, to obtain a large accumulation of prize-money; Mr. Pink, of Kilburn, and a host of other persons, who had alike suffered from the prisoner's im positions, were in attendance. The prisoner, who exhibited the greatest sangfroid throughout, and of whom it was said that he had been convicted of felony at Guildford, in Surrey, was fully committed for trial. THAMES. On Saturday, prior to the opening of the Court, the avenues leading to it were literally blocked up by a host of poor German emigrants, who had squatted themselves on the door-steps, and occupied every available nook and corner, all eager for the arrival of the Magistrate, that they might relate their grievances. On Mr. Ballantine taking his seat on the bench, one of their number, named Peter Bowman, was introduced, and having been sworn, from his statement it appeared that no less than 26S of them had taken a passage to Quebec in the ship Juliet, Captain Verdon, and which vessel was to sail this afternoon. Their grievances were —first, that the ship, instead of being able to accommo date the whole 268 of them, had not stowage sufficient for scarcely half that number; but what they principally complained of was, that they had agreed with a Mr. White, an extensive provision merchant, residing near the principal entrance of the London Docks, to furnish them with suitable supplies, for which they had paid him 61. per head ; but, on going on board, so far from finding a proper sea stock, there was not—to use the words of the witness—" as much as would go on his thumb-nail." Mr. BALLANTINE said they had better go to Mr. White, who was a respectable man, and had lived near the (Incks many years, as doubtless there must be some mistake. Ellis (the chief usher) informed the magistrate that he understood that gentleman was at present at Graves end, and the ship was to sail this afternoon. Mr. BALLANTINE then said that as the case stood at present he had no jurisdiction, and advised them to lose no time, but go immediately to Lieutenant Lane, the Government emigration agent. They would find him at his office at the London Docks, and he would take prompt measures in their behalf; and if it turned out that they had been defrauded in the manner they repre sented he would see them righted, the Government being determined to look closely into these matters, as in the recent case of Gardiner and M‘Lean, who had been transported for having practised gross frauds on these poor intended emigrants. The applicants that ked his Worship, and immediately hastened in a body to Lieutenant Lane's office. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, JULY 2.—A full average business has been done in foreign wools this week, at full recent rates. The improving prospects of the harvest have contributed materially to an increased confidence, both amongst dealers and manufacturers. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, JULY 2. —We cannot quote any change in this market this week. The manufacturers continue to buy cautiously, and last week's prices are with difficulty maintained. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 1.--WO have had a good show of wool at this day's market, anti the buyers being rather numerous, nearly all was sold up at a slight im• provement of last week's prices. HULL WOOL MARKET, JUNE 29.—A fair supply of wool and a good attendance of buyers; nearly all sold up at last week's prices, varying from 9d. to l Id. per lb., according to quality and number of hogs. LEEDS.—Although there was not any larger purchases of goods at the cloth halls, either on Saturday or Tues day, yet, in consequence of the fall in the price of corn, and the continued fine weather, there is a return of con fidence in the market, and the general opinion is, that with a good havest there muss be a good autumn trade. Prices continue firm, and the stocks are moderate. This being betwixt the seasons, there has been but little doing in business in warehouses for the home trade. The shippers are, however, doing more; on the whole the prospects of trade are decidedly impeoved, BRADFORD MARKET, TfluasnAv.—!There still con- tinues a very sluggish demand for wool. The staplers ore unable to take low s er prices, on ac&lPut of not being ble to replace their stocks on mitt terms. The-'pur chases of the spinners are very restricted. There is`no alteration in the yarn market. The business is steady, and prices firm. A large number of merchants were present in the piece market, and a good business was done. The German houses are purchasing pretty freely fur the autumn trade. The stock of goods in the manufacturers' warehouses are small. The appearance of the piece market improves. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had more doing in goods this week, and at improving rates fir most descriptions, but as the advance scarcely covers the rise in the staple, though cloth changes hands rather freely, it leaves no increase of profits. Stocks are, however, rapidly decreasing, and if there should not happen to be a resumption of full time in the mills, a fair profit on what may be produced is probable. The American packet has brought extensive orders, and those kinds of goods which absorb a great deal of labour in their production form good features in such orders. Yarns meet ready sale, but not quotably higher; the Greek houses are buying extensively of prints. NOTTINGHAM.—The cotton hosiery trade, especially in the cut-up departments, is in the same state as pre viously reported, and many hands have been out of em ployment more than two months. The drawer branch and the cotton glove branch are in a much better state than the silk. The fancy bobbin-net trade is still very dull, as respects demand. The stoppage of a London house in the lace trade, whose liabilities are said to amount to 70,0001., has not improved matters. FUNERAL OF SIR ROBERT STOPFORD. The mortal remains of this much-lamented Admiral were interred on Friday afternoon in the vaults of the Royal Greenwich Hospital Cemetery with the various forms due to his rank. Shortly before two o'clock the Earl of Auckland and the other Lords of the Admiralty arrived at the Governor's residence, for the purpose of taking part In the preceedings. The admiral's flag was imme diately hoisted in the middle of the square; every other arrangement for conducting the funeral had been previously made. The passage from the Governor's residence to the chapel, and from thence to the south gate, was lined by a detachment of the pensioners, several of whom had halberds covered with crape. Companies of the Royal Marines and Marine Artillery were stationed on either side of the road from the Hospital gate to that of the cemetery. The band of the latter was also in attendance. The procession was formed shortly after two o'clock, at which time a considerable number of naval and military officers, attired in full uniform, had assembled. The procession moving slowly towards the chapel, the band played the " Dead March in Saul," and the guns stationed on One Tree-hill, ad joining the cemetery, fired minutely. Having arrived at the entrance the body was received by the Rev. J. K. Goldney, and immediately placed in the centre of the, edifice, the chief mourners and other persons taking up their seats on eith er s id e . Th e pall-bearers were A dmiral Sir E. Codrington, Admiral Lord Colville, Rear- Admiral Sir C. Malcolm, Rear-Admiral Bowles, Vice- Admiral_Sir Charles Adam, Sir J. B. Capel'; and the mourners included Admiral Sir T. Byam Martin, Lieu tenant-General Sir Howard Douglas, the Earl of Cour town, Viscount Stop( .rd, the Hon. Captain Cust, the Rev. A. Stopford. Major-General Fanshawe, Viscount Sydney, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and Sir George Womb well were amongst the other distinguished persons pre sent. The prayers having concluded, the procession was once more formed, and moved to the admiral's vault, where the concluding portion of the service having been read, the coffin was slowly lowered into its depository. The centre plate bore the inscription —"Admiral the b of Hon.

It ha been the subject of remark how it happens that th. densely -populated parish of Hackney, one of the largest and most respectable of the suburban districts of Lon don, has been so lung overlooked by the Scottish Pres• byterians, where an ample field is open for one or more of their talented clergymen. There are at this time in the parish, besides the Established Church and chap-ls, chapels numerously attended by almost every denoroi, nation of religious Dissenters.

SON - IA Court was held for Ore dispstch of publie : htthinels. • • CORPORATION' PROCRASTINATION. _ Mr. EDKINS co m pl a i ne d t h at the time of the Court.. was generally so muc h ta k en up with empty discussions . sm , aig upon subjects wholly u nconnecte d w i th the interests of the citizens of London, that there were upon the paper of business notices of motion of fifteen or sixteen months r standing. He thought the Lord Mayor was bound, at all events, to convene Courts fo r twelve o'clock, accord ing to old custom, instead of tike later hour at which they assembled, and was sure thot the departure in jur f i r o o u m s the earlier tine contributed very much to th procrastination of public business.---(Hear, hea r .) Sir PETER LAURIE said, there were upon the paper numerous notices of motion, which the persons who caused them to be inserted never intended to bring for ward.—(Laughter.) Ile would instance the project of the railroad to Farringdon-market. which was amongst the complete impracticabilities, and Mr. Be nnoeh's notice for holding the meetings of the Court of Common Council at House of Commons hours.—(Laughter.) There were also notices of motion for substantial compli ments of plate, and nothing could be inure certain than that the hand of death would be laid upon the indivi duals selected for such honour before the motions would pass. He hoped all the useless and stupid notices would be at once removed from the paper by those who had been so injudicious as to place them on the list.—(Hear.) A report was presented upon the subject of appropri— ating the site of a house in Newgate street, the rent of which had fallen in, to the beneficial plan of widening the street. It recommended such appropriation, and also the appropriation to the same purpose of other houses in the naarow part of the street, as the rent of each should fall in. The report was agreed to immediately, and amidst applause, the object being to give greater public accom modation in the crowded loCality of Newgate-street. HEALTH OF TOWNS. Deputy BEDFORD rose to present the petition, which the lamented Dr. Lynch had expressed so much anxiety to introduce, from the inhabitants of Farringdon With out, praying the Court to set aside a sum of money to improve the sanatory condition of the ward, and to adopt such measures as would improve the habitations of the labouring classes. The petition, after alluding to the projected new street from King William-street to King-street, which would cost an enormous sum, without producing benefit at all corresponding, and which had the appearance of a monstrous job rather than of an useful undertaking, represented that there were undertakings appertaining to the state of the public health vithin the City which more immediately and imperatively demanded the consideration and interference of the Court than any plan of street decoration. "It is," said the peti tion, which enters very fully into the subject, and con sists of twenty-six long pages, " notorious, as shown in the evidence given in the Health of Towns Commission and the Poor-law Commission, in their inquiry into the sanatory condition of the labouring classes, that the disease and mortality of the metropolis are frightfully increased by the absence of such sanatory regulations as it is clearly within the power of the Corporation to sup ply. Your memorialiie-s remind your Honourable Court that, in the month of March, a resolution was moved in the Court of Common Council by Dr. Lynch, urging upon the Corporation the imperative obligation under which it lay of immediately adopting those sanatory regulations which the exigencies of the case required for the purpose of diminishing the disease and mortality arising out of the absence of such regulations, which re solution was supported and illustrated by a speech re plete with striking and important facts, which created great interest in the public mind, and obtained a refer ence of the said resolution to the improvement commit tee. Your memorialists cannot avoid expressing their deep concern at the fact of your having permitted a mat ter so important and pressing as this to remain for eight months without any report having been made upon it, and without, as your memorialists have reason to believe, the committee to which was refer red ever having given to it a moment's considerati,in, especially after it bad been shown by the evidence of the highest authorities that of the deaths annually occurring within the metro polis between 4,600 and 5,000 occur from diieases pre ventible by ordinary precautions, while the disease, de bility, and poverty engendered by the absence of them add greatly to the amount of human suffering, and to the burden of the poor rates." The following are the concluding paragraphs:— " By the 44th of Edward 111. the butchers of London were forbidden to slaughter cattle iiithin the City, and by the 16th of Richard 11. the prohibition was extended to swine. We are at a loss to conceive of any good reason for now dispensing with a regulation so properly deemed necessary for the preservation of the public health in former times. The same may he said of fur naces and other sources of atmoaph. tic pollution which call for the like interference of your Court and the Le gislature. By the 35th of Edward 1., the Mayor of London was commanded to prevent persons from light ing furnaces near the Tower of London during the stay of the Queen and nobles at the Tower. because the air, as it was alleged, is corrupted and infection promoted by , the insolubility of the air on account of the said fur naces. What was true in the time of Edward the First is equally true now, and we would respectfully suggest, that it is scarcely less necessary, to free the air from that infection which is injurious to human life because the Queen and the nobles may not now happen to stay at the Tower of London. " We also venture to suggest, that in addition to all the other and pressing obligations which rest upon your Court to promote the sanatory condition of take City there is one arising out of the fact, ;at it 'was the cor poration of the City that 6pposeff Sir Christopher Wren's plan for the rebuilding of London, which was approved by the King, and which would have excluded all grave-yards, as well as all dark narrow alleys without thoroughfares, and courts; as also all trades that use great fires or yield noisome smells, and would have secured perfect ven tilation and arteries of communication throughout the City, sufficient even for its present enormous traffic. Taking the premises herein set forth into consideration, and adverting to the serious responsibility which rests upon the Corporation of the city of London, with its ample revenues and great powers, we confidently rely upon your Court to proceed, without loss of time, to the completion of those sanatory arrangements which you have so commendably beLan by the making of sewers, and the cleansing of highways ; and that you will give to them, moreover, a preference over the widening of streets merely for the purposes of traffic, which, however necessary and important, falls far short of those mea sures upon which the health, the comforts, and the lives of so many of the inhabitants of the city of London im mediately depend." Mr. DUCKMASTER also presented s petition from the inquest jury of St. Andrew s, Holborn, on the danger to the public health ari.ing from bad sewerage. It stated that though sewerage was proceeded in, the locality was in as bad a condition as if there was no sewerage at all, as the landlords did not choose to go to the expense of opening drains to make it available, and that the supply of water was most inadequate ; and it would be desir able that the Legislature should make it compulsory upon landlords to have a due and proper supply furnished to every house. It was stated that an effort, which it was expected would be successful, was to be made in Parliament to introduce a clause making it compulsory upon landlords to accomplish what the memoriali,ts recommended. The reports were referred to the Improvements Com- raittee. Mr. WATERLOW brought up the report of the Parlia mentary Committee, with the draft of a petition to Parliament against the interment of the dead in churches and churchyards ; and also a report recom mending the abatement of the nuisance of smoke from steam-engines, and the draft of a petition on the subject. Agreed to. NEW PRISON. Mr. WIRE brought up a report recommending the ap propriation of some City ground at llu11ow•ay for the erection of a pricon.—Agreed to. BRIXTON ALMSHOUSES.
