THE SUN, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CI7 Y. Qt l I N7'ER TO THREE. The : - D.Ls of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were &Clout 4 000 b it, ,at it the int•k , t was firmer. Shares were tit , tter supperte.i, and, from the fie efiess of the weather. witir indication of further improvement. Sales of Cotton for the week, 22,530 bales. Stock 397,500 bales, against 777,100 at the corresponding period of last year, the• market having recovered the decline which occurred in the early part of the week. There was rather an increased demand for bills upon Amsterdam rin,i the German cities, yesterday afternoon, but 'a slight improvement occurred in Paris, Trieste, and on• or two other • places. Money is cheap at Amsterdam, notwithstanding the panic in the Stock Market, occasioned partly by the innate weakness of the holders, and partly by the pressure of sales OR . English account, a circumstance which must right the balance, and tiling coin back. The heavy stoppaees is the corn trade here will affect some of the Dutch and Belgian houses. Mess's. Son, and Co., have been , ad •ed to the list of firms in difficulties. The features in the Bark of England statement of liabilities and assets for the week, to the 7th instant, are these : N,,res issued £22,634.645 Decreane 32.280 Rest, increase Public deposits Increase Other deposits, decrease Seven day and other bills, decrease 2,542 Government securities, increase 26,940 Other securities, increase 578,046 Notes reserved, increase Bullion . Decrease Active circulation Decrease 203,850 The Bank directors have been increasing their ad vorce,, up , II bills, &c , and have nevertheless contrived to keep down the circulation, and to prevent any mate rial abstraction of their bullion. The Public Deposits have increased to an extent that allows of this, but the want of cash out of doors is sufficiently shown by the retirement of other deposits, and the demand for accom modation. The advices by the steamer from America are given in another column, and oeing only in course of delivery at the hour of our writing, we have no opportunity for corn mvnt. The Funds have been very quiet ; for although the Bank return is considered rather favourable, there has been an indisposition to enter into business, the more especially as the news, per steamer has been expected. Consols have realised 87 to 87-1- for transfer, and 81 to 87 fur account. The New Three-and a Quarter per Cents. have been 89 to 89k; Bank Stock has improved to 1961 to 1974. Exchequer-bills have realised ls. dis count to premium. The tureig 7 n investments have been very dull. Spanish Bonds are merely ntminal. Portuguese Four per Cents. for Account have been quoted 27k. Mexican have been steady at 18. Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents. have bern 56 to 561. Railway shares are flat again, the most marked de cline hying in North Western and South Western. The meeting of the fi,rtn.r, yesterday, was not considered very favourable. Eastern Counties, Midland, &c., are dull also. BI ITtSki FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCk. (From the Official Liat.)

Soon after daybreak on Thursday morning the Victoria and Albert signalled the squadron to get under way, with orders to the Scourge to:take the lead. In a short time that vessel bore up, taking the usual course for the Needles Passag e , d ro ppi ng her colours as she passed the, royal y ac h t. About five o ' c l oc k a ll the fleet were steaming onwards, the Fairy, Undine, Black Eagle, and Garland following the Victoria and Albert. Before the squadron, however, had pro eeded five or six miles, a fog came on, and it was deem ed . prudent to run into All um B ay, near Fres h water , under the Needles Rocks, to the eastward. In the course of an hour or so the weather somewhat cleared up, and the Royal yacht was again got under way, and by nine o'clock had well cleared the rocks, and was steaming away at full speed to the westward, the Fairy and the Undine keeping up a position on either side of the Victoria and Albert, the Black Eagle and Garland being a short distance in the rear. There was a smart breeze blowing up Channel (S.W.), but comparatively little sea. At fifteen minutes past ten, A.m., the royal squa dron was abreast the Coast guard station at Swanage, eastward of St. Aldan's Head. The passing of the Scourge about an hour previous had notified to the inhabitants the approach of the royal yacht, and no time was lost in putting off sailing boats and other craft to catch a glimpse of the royal party. In in the mean time those on sh ore used every expedition hoisting colours on every prom i nent p l ace . Th e squadron was at last descried, but the unfavourable state of the weather kept the royal fleet off the coast about three miles. 2 ......

Her Majesty's fleet for Scotland has just passed in the offing down the Channel, steering about west, a long way out. We could just discern them ; there were four steamers going at a good speed ; the wind being fair (about S.S.E.), and rather--light. Nu merous yachts were stretching out to greet the squadron as it passed. PORTLAND BILL, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. Early this afternoon the Victoria and Albert, with her Majesty and her Royal Consort on board, accom panied by four other steamers, was off this prominent point of the coast. The weather was foggy, and but for that unfortunate circumstance, the passing of the royal fleet would have been the source of considerable gratification to the inhabitants along the coast. Several guns were fired from the Black Eagle and others of the escort, but whether it was a salute or signals could not be observed in consequence of the hazy state of the atmosphere. The fleet went outside the Race and Shambles shoals, and when last seen was steering a channel course to the westward. TORBAY, THURSDAY NIGHT. Her Majesty's trip to Scotland has been unfor tunately impeded by a dense fog. At half. past three o'clock this afternoon the royal squadron ran into Dartmouth Bay, and anchored there for the night. Owing to this untoward event, the royal yacht has not accomplished 100 miles of the voyage. Up to the present hour (eleven o'clock) the fog still prevails. The Queen was 9n deck until some time after the yacht anchored, closely attended by his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales in the costume of an A.B. Her Majesty looked rem; kably well, and answered the cheers of her subjects, who crowded in boats round the vessel, by graciou% smiles and bows. (From the Inverness Courier.) We understand that this county has fairly entered on the duties of loyalty, and that all necessary and suitable arrangements will be made for her Majesty's reception when she lands upon our western coast.

Anglo-Belgian 4 ..,,.. -- .4. .• to Rail)adoes — Boulogne and Amiens On Friday last, immediately after the election, a meeting of the gentlemen of the county was held in the Castle, on the subket of the Queen's visit. Lord Lovat was called to the chair. Sheriff Tytler then stated that, although he had not received any official intimation, it was generally understood that her Majesty was about to visit the Highlands oflnverness shire, and he understood from Cluny that her Majesty might now be expected to arrive at Ardverikie on the 19th instant. Mr. Sheriff Fraser, Fort William, had been in correspondence with various gentlemen on the subject. A plan was submitted by Mr. Mitchell for the erection of a temporary wooden addition to the pier at Fort William, so as to make the landing place more convenient for her Majesty. The prokct of having a new landing pier has been considered, but was abandoned, because the time was too short, and no convenient site could be obtained. Mr. Mit chell stated the new part was proposed to be ten feet in breadth, and to have a gradual slope downward. Posts would be placed round it for a fence of rope. Carriages could not approach nearer than the main street—about one hundred yards from the landing place. The pier, for that space, was proposed to be covered with tartan-cloth of the Royal Stuart pattern. The tartan was already procured, and the erection of the pier would be commenced next day (Saturday) Cluny stated that an escort of the 71st Highlanders, now in Edi n b urg h , h a d b een or dered to be in readiness if wanted, and the ground on which they were to encamp had already been marked out. COURT CIRCULAR. Yesterday was the anniversary of the birthday of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester arrived at Busby House, Bushy Park, in the forenoon, to p ay a visit of congrat ulation to her Majesty, on the auspicious return of her natal day. The Roy al Duchess partook of a deieune with the Queen Dowager, and in the afternoon took leave of her Ma jesty and returned to her resiaence in Richmond Park. The tradesmen of' the Queen Dowager illuminated their houses in the evening, in honour of the occasion. His Imperial Highness Prince Peter of Oldenburgh paid a visit yesterday to the new Government offices at Whitehall, and inspected the office of her Majesty's Privy Council. the Board of Trade, the Treasury, and the Home Secretary's office, Sir Denis Le M arc h an t was in attendance ou his I mperial highness during his visit.

Mackenzie Carmichael . . 163 ROSS-SHIRE. The election of a knight of the shire for the county of Ross, took place at Dingwall on Tuesday last, the 10th instant. Mr. Mackenzie, of Applecross, the late (Protectionist) representative having declined to contest the county, Mr. James Matheson, of Achamy and Lewis, late M.P. for Ashburton, and brother of the present Member for that borough, and uncle of the new Member for the Inverness burghs, was the only candidate in the field. The Hon. Gentleman was escorted from his residence, Conaw house, about two miles and a half distant, by a large number of gentlemen and farmers of the county, preceded by flags and bands of music. Houses and towns were gaily decorated with flags, flowers, and evergreens ; business was suspended, and the town presented a gayer appearance than it was ever known to do. The usual preliminaries having been gone through by the Sheriff, Mr. MACKENZIE, of Seaforth, in a neat and ap propriate speech, proposed Mr. Matheson, of the Lewis, as a fit and proper person to represent the county in Parliament. Mr. M`Lnop, junior, of Cadholl, seconded the nomination. There bring no other candidate proposed, The SusaiiT declared that the election had fallen on Mr. Matheson, who was therefore, duly elected to serve as their representative in the ensuing Par liament. Mr. MATHESON then came forward and was re ceived with the most enthusiastic applause, which continued for several minutes. On silence being ob taibed, he thanked the electors for the distinguished honour they had conferred upon him by electing him as their representative in the ensuing Parliament, and he assured them that he would endeavour to meet their confidence by a zealous discharge of his duties, and by giving his constant and unremitting attention to their local interests with which his own were so closely identified.—(Cheers.) He wished to call their attention to one subject of great interest to the pro prietors and farmers of the country—he meant the question of the game laws. He was not in favour of a repeal of the game laws, which he considered would not be beneficial to the interests of the country, but he would give his support to any measure having for its object to compensate the farmer for any damage he might sustain.—(Cheers.) Although he had voted in favour of the grant to Maynooth, as that institu tion had been established before the Union, he would resist any grant of public money to endow the Roman Catholic priesthood of Ireland.—(Cheers.) The Honourable Gentleman spoke at some length of the Scottish system of banking, and deprecated any interference with it on the part of the Govern ment. The measure of Sir Robert Peel on the sub ject had not worked well, and he would give his best opposition to any interference with a system which had conferred great benefit on the country.— (Cheers.) He was in favour of the principles of free trade, and had supported the various measures intro duced by Sir R. Peel to unfetter trade and commerce, and he hoped soon to see the shackles that still re mained entirely removed. The country had derived great benefit from the tree-trade measures which had been already passed ; and he was certain that if free trade principles were carried out to their full and legitimate extent, still greater fruits would be pro duced from them.—(Cheers.) After again thanking them for the honour they had conferred on him, he concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, which wis unanimously carried. The Honourable Gentleman was then chaired round the town twice, amidst the plaudits of the inhabitants, who were unabimous in their praises of their new candidate, who is extremely popular in the county. _ f The usual half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday, at the London ITavern, Bithopsgate-street. The chair was tvicen by E. B. Deni , on, E'q (!. , te - .1%.1.P. for the Vest Riding), cl.iairm..-,n oft it et,iniyhy. The report stated, that during the session of Parlia ment ended last month, the several Bills which at the half -yearly meeting in February last the directors were authorised to promote for deviations and etten sions of the line, were pressed upon th e a tt en tion of Parliament. Those Bills generally were subjected to the same kind of detetmined opposition which at tended the London and York, or Great Northern Bill, in its passage through Parliament. The directors, however, felt that they might congratulate the share holders upon the result of the session, which had been to extend the powers of making lines or running the trains of the Great Northern Railway to and from the Eastern Counties Line at Hertford; the London and North Western Line at St. Albans, to and from Luton ; the Lynn and Ely Line at Wisbeach ; the Port of Sutton-bridge • the Manche s t er an d Leeds Station at Wakefi e ld ; the Midland Railway at Methley ; and by the South Yorkshire Railway to the Town of Barnsley and the Great Coalfield of that district ; an extent comprising upwards of seventy miles, at the comparatively small addi tional outlay of 400,0001. of capital, and also to obtain the sanction of the House of Commons to the Great Northern schemes for occupying the Isle of Axholme, and the project of forming a central station at Leeds. Since the meeting in February great exertions had been made to acquire the land in the districts in which, previously, the works had been contracted for, viz.— from London by Peterborough, Boston, and Lincoln, to Gainsborough, a distance of about 156 miles; and the greater portion, above four-fifths, had been agreed for and passed into the possession of the con tractors as they had required it. The vacancy caused in the board of directors by the decease of W. Astell, M.P. for Bedfordshire, the chairman of the company, had been supplied by E. B. Denison, Esq., one of the deputy-chairmen. From the general cash statement to 30th June, 1847, it appeared that the total amount received by this company since its forma tion had been 1,414 9551.; of this sum 1,012,9021.55. sd. had been expended in law and Parliamentary ex penses, works, land, and compensation interest on calls, &c. The balance remaining in hand in cash and Exchequer-bills and other securities was 402,0521. 14s. 7d. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption and re ception of the roport. He most sincerely regretted that they should have to engage so often in expensive Parliamentary contests, and he thought that it would be to the interest of the shareholders of this com pany, and of their great opponents, the Midland and Eastern Counties Col tipany, to endeavour to act in unison, and he would be prepared at any time to meet the directors of those companies upon such terms as might be advantageous to the interests of all parties concerned. Captain Puotrr seconded the adoption of the report. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what was the greatest number of shares held by any single indi vidual ? The CHAIRMAN said that the greatest number held by one gentleman was 3,000 shares, the whole amount of calls upon u hich had been paid up. The report was then unanimously agreed to. Resolutions were unanimously agreed to autho rising the directors to adopt such measures as they might think proper for the protection of the property of the Great Northern Railway, either by agreements with other companies or by applying to Parliament ; and for carrying out- the agreements made by the Great N ortheru Railway with other branch lines, under the sanction of Parliament. A resolution, authorising the directors to consoli date 40,000 shares of the London and York Exten sion, by giving the holders thereof one Great Northern share of 251. (51. being paid up) for two of such extension shares, was also unanimously agreed to; as was also a resolution empowering the di rectors to advance a sum not exceeding 4001. towards the moral and religious improvement of the large bodies of labourers employed on the works in their respective localities. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 13.) Sudan.—To-day there was a more active demand for Raw Sugar for home consumption, whilst exporters were desirous to do business, and for the better quali ties holders obtained prices they could not, previously ; but for common kinds and brown a further fall in the value took place. West India was in fair demand, both for the scale and refining purpo-es, whilst the quantity sold amounted to 400 hhds and trcs ; prices about the same as on Friday last for the better sorts of yellow and for strong grey sorts, but inferior and brown qualities are in some eases 6d per cwt under those of that time. REFINED.—To .day Refined Sugar was only in limited request by the home trade, although brown grocery lumps were to be obtained at 54s tid, and standard lumps at 55s to 55s 6d per cwt. The market is quiet ,or bonded crushed Sugar, and 31s 6d to 32s are the rates ac cepted u for Ti first a quality.Thi ivizu a fternoon the quantity offered at Ab. public sale amounted to 8,276 bags and 100 casks: the whole sold, the sorts at and above 38s per cwt went 6d to is higher, but those under that price must be con sidered 6d per cwt cheaper. FORElGN.—lmporters of Foreign Sugar are not dis posed to submit to any further reduction in prices, and they supplied the market less freely. The demand from the home trade, however, has been limited by private treaty for all sorts, and our refiners working under bond have operated with much caution. The small parcels 1 disposed of were upon previous terms. The low rates that prevail, however, induce exporters to be still desirous to do business, arid privately they have taken 3,000 chests of white Havannah afloat at 29s 9d for a near port ; 3,000 chests of yellow and brown Havannah at 21s to 25s 6d, and 3,600 bags of Pernambuco at 19s per cwt, which rates are on a par with those that previously prevailed. At public sale yesterday 870 boxes Havannah were mostly all taken in above the value. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a public sale of 1,071 bags Bengal Sugar sold with spirit at an advance on former rates of 6d to is—fine white Benares fetched 49s to 51s, good 47s to 48s 6d, good middling and mid dling 44s 6d to 46s 6d, low 435, damp and washed 45s to 48s, good soft yellow 41s 6d to 425, middling 40s, damp 41s 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—this afternoon there was more desire shown to operate in Mocha Coffee, and at public sale 335 bales 267 half bales were all sold at full rates. The limited business transacted privately in Ceylon was at rather lower rates ; and 3 casks 552 bags at public sale went at easier quotations. Foreign Coffee is little required ; 786 bags St. Domingo sold at is per cwt decline. SPICES —For East India and African Ginger there has been a good demand privately, whilst the rates obtained are rather above those that previously pre vailed, and there is a less quantity on offer. None has been brought to auction. Jamaica is little re quired ; and a public sale of 40 casks 72 brls went off heavily at barely former rates, and a part only sold. Pimento is wanted, and privately several parcels have been sold at stiffer rates; whilst merchants continue to supply the market sparingly: at auction 86 bags were sold. For Nutmegs the demand is less active, but holders have succeeded in obtaining previous advanced rates, although the supply is on the increase. The parcels offered at auction were only in part sold, and amounted to 37 packages. Mace is wanted, and the business transacted privately has been upon fully former terms, whilst there is yet but a small supply. Cloves are held for the previous value, whilst for African the demand privately is good. Bencoolen. however, met with little attention, but is 8d to 2s are the rates required. Black Pepper of all sorts have been operated in with caution by private treaty for home consumption and exportation, although holders are r`Nie ll kd will'acaßa a n trau a n spl tory ^ found buyers. Of Long Pepper 20 bags were again taker, in at 40s for old. The market for Cassia Lignea is in a quiet state, and the tendency of prices is downwards. Cinnamon is freely offered upon the terms of the last quarterly sales ; but few purchases have been made in any kind by ex porters or the home trade.

The Postmaster-Gener a l and the Postmaster of Liverpool have had their attention drawn to the fol lowing fact, and we hope the Edi tor o f Th e S un w ill . insert this paiugraph his paper, that its appearance therein may tend to di-cover the thief : For some time past, the copy of The Sun news paper, addressed to the Liverpool Mercury office, and which we are assured, and do not doubt, is regularly forwarded from London six evenings in the week, never arrives at its destination when there is any very particular news. Once or twice a week this incon venience, this theft is suffered ; this week it cccurred two days together, neither Monday's nor Tuesday's paper having arrived. This we trust will attract the attention it deserves until the culprit is placed upon the treadmill. While we have pen in hand, we may mention that almost daily we receive complaints of the non-arrival of papers. We cannot help believing that there is a traffic going on in the the sale of stolen papers. Last Friday twenty copies of the Mercury were ordered were duly forwarded by post, but they never reached their destination. The miscarriage of so bulky a parcel seems inconceivable ; and the questi,,n is what has become of them ?—Liverpool Mercury. A STOLEN CHILD FOUND.— ihe police have re ceivt d intormation that n child that was stol e n f rom Wilton-place, KeightAbridge, about a month ago , h as been discovered with a WitalAil in the lower part of E ssex . At the time the child (about three years old, named Rosa Farr) was missing, bills offering a reward tor its dis covery were circulated throughout the metropolis, and every inquiry was made by the police, without effect; but this week they received information that a child had been found in the possession of a travelling Woman who had been taken up upon some charge in Essex, which it was suspected, from its dress and 'manner, was not her own; and intimation of this being given in Wilton-place, the relatives of the little lost one proceeded into the country and ii'entified it. The woman had been travel ling and begging with it, and the poo r child appears to have been very harshly used. FIRE IN THE STRAND.—The shop and stock of Mr. Lauder, hosier and glover, near the Adelphi Theatre, were partially destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The fire was discovered by constable F 68, who gave t h e alarm and called the engines , which were successfully used in its extinction. The fire originatedin the cellar, but the cause is as yet unknown. Mr. Lander is insured in the Sun Fire office. DISAPPEARANCE Or A COLLECTOR.—D uring the past eight or ten days, great alarm has been felt in con sequence of the disappearance of Mr. David Griffiths, Government tax-collector and surve y or of Weights and measures. The receipt for t he p a y mentof the Govern ment taxes was held on Tuesday and Wednesday last at the Waterloo Hotel, but we are told Mr. Griffiths was absent. The amount which ought to have been paid by him on that occasion is stated to be between 8001. and 1,0001. He was seen on Wednesday week at the hust ings in Castle -street, and since then a letter has been received from him, bearing .he post mark " Anglesey," stating, that in an hour's time after he had written the letter he would have left the island. He is married, and has l e f t a w i le an d t hree or four children,..—Li ve ' r ! pool Ib ercury .

R. HIND. WINCHESTER COLLEGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR,—In the absence of the Warden from Win chester, I trust I may be allowed to trespass on your columns with one or two observations on the later signed "Humanitas et Veritas," in your paper of to-day. Now that the boys are dispersed for the holidays, it is difficult to speak with perfect confidence of the facts as they occurred on the Bth of July, in the case of the little boy to whom your correspondent refers. As far, however, as I can ascertain them, they are these:— He was sent to watch out at cricket fo. some of the prefects ; and at the end of two hours was at liberty to leave off, according to a rule laid down some years since by the present Warden, and, as far as I know, always most punctually and cheerfully obeyed. The day being one on which the usual arrangements of time were broken up on account of preparation for the holidays, other prefects came to play, and the game was continued. The boy in question was well pleased to go on watching out, without claiming his exemption, and did so much longer than was good for him ; a nd the result is that he is very ill—not, as the surgeon assures me, dan gerously, at present, but still very ill. In this particular case, therefore, I have nothing to add, except that, according to the Warden's under taking, the circumstances will be exactly inquired into on the return of the boys to school, and dealt with justly and impartially. The boy himself has always seemed to he a cheerful, happy boy, and got a prize in his class this half-year. But your correspondent does not merely wish to draw your attention to this case. He protests " against the whole system of fagging carried on and allowed at Winchester—against giving the prefects such uncontrolled power." I beg that your correspondent will observe that where a large number of boys,from eleven to eighteen years old, are assembled together, there is, indepen dently of all institutions, a great danger—indeed, a certain prospect, that strength will often overrule and tyrannise over weakness. if these tendencies are to be left simply to them selves, a fearful amount of cruelty, wantonness, and suffering will be sure to take place. If it is attempted to control them by very close and minute superintendence of masters, not only must the attempt inevitably fail from the simple impossibility of instituting and maintaining a superintendence suf ficiently minute, but also the whole prospect of free and manly growth of minds and characters is de stroyed. The system of fagging is a system (and the only one that I know that is capable of doing its work) of government and protection. It gives to a definite number of the most select boys in the school a re sponsible authority. It intrusts them with a limited control, and places in their hands the duty of resisting the tyranny of mere strength. Upheid by the school authorities, and made strictly responsible, it furnishes the noblest method of forming the characters of those who exercise it, and those who live under it. I so lemnly declare that I could not bear the weight of having . wider Loy care 200 youths of such various age, character, parentage, and habits if I had not the comfort of knowing that there was among them such gradation of order and authority, such well under stood responsibility, and such established obedience, as lead me to believe that protection is enforced, order maintained, and duty done, where neither my own eyes nor those of other masters can possibly see them. If it is alleged that at Winchester this power is excessive, or not sufficiently responsible, my reply is that I know better. So far from being excessive, it is hardly great enough. In far the greatest number of instances which I have known in which boys have suffered ill treatment, the cruelty has proceeded from great boys in the lower parts of the school, the prefects having been (as must occlsionally happen) either timid or feeble in their prevention of it. So far from not being sufficiently responsible, it is the very first point in our administration of the school to enforce this responsibility, because we are confi dent that upon it depends not only the entire benefit of the system itself, but a great part of the well being of the boys intrusted to our care. I may add that if there be difficulty in the way of juniors complaining, as your correspondent alleges, the difficulty arises from the unpopularity of complaints with the junior boys themselves much more than from the prefects. In conclusion, I can only repeat with the Al arden, that I believe, and have good reason to believe, that the boys, small and great, are happy, united, and con tented ; and assure your correspondent that he is entirely mistaken in what he assert-. about the College oath required by the statutes. It has no connexion whatever with the subject on which he writes. I should wish to add, for the satisfaction of those parents who have been alarmed by the former letter of "Humanitas," that we have enjoyed the most en tire freedom from all illness since Christmas, the case of this little boy being the only one of at all a serious complexion which has occurred. Apologizing for this long but necessary intrusion upon your paper, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE MOBERLY, Head Master of Winchester College. Winchester College, Aug. 12. On the Stb a storm broke out in the commune of flellesmes (Nord) whilst two young sisters acre occu pied in a field. They were both ctricken to the earth by lightning. A moment after, the elder, who is married, rose, and expressed her surprise that she should have fallen without being injured ; but her sister heard her not—she was dead. The electric fluid had burned her right foot , and , art of her clothing, and had left a wound The Liberal du Nord . gives the following curio us account :—" A brewer of Aix, numsd - Dorchies, went a few nights ago to carry some corn to a mill, se e omp un i e i by a domestic. On their way a tremendous storm broke out, the thunder rolling, and the lightning fl a ,hi ng in a m ost terrific manner. The domestic trembled inTevi-ry limb, and, on reaching the mi l l , crouched in the midst of s ome sacks, and began to pray fervently. Dorchies ridi culed him th e as a coward, but (,o fury, he v‘ent and sat beside hi m , •, , storin iticr, as i ng in other persons. Whilst their tour a join. dty two assembled, as if to vi inuivid ua l s were t h us g ive each other courage, a thunder.. ' clap shook the heavens and an instant after the roof of the mill was torn open , a nd off the braces o f one o t the electric fl uid entered, cut the men, ran over the body of Dorchies, broke his left thigh in three places, and pierced his foot." On Monday some bakers of Tours having refused to sell bread et Ow price fixed by the municipal &mho. titles, a crowd collected and proceeded to the shop of a man named Brunesu, ice de la Riche, and demanded breed. On his declaring that he shoula not sell any unless he received 50c. above the price fixed, the crowd entered his premises, and carried off the bread, paying for it the legal price. They then proceeded to the shop of a man named Voisin, rue de Grand Maixle, where similar acts took place. The police, being by this time informed of what was going on, came up to the crowd just as they were about to take away the bread from the shop of a baker named Aubert. This man declared , that the bread which he bad prepared was intended for a regiment of infantry, which he supplied. The com. missary of police, however, caused him to sell the whole of his stock at the reduced price, which appeased the crowd, and it soon after separated.—Paris paper. It is with much regret that we have to announce the death of Frederick Mansell, Esq., juret of the Royal Court of this island, which took place at his residence, at the Vauxbelets, St. Andrew's parish, on Tuesday . morning. Mr. Mansell had been a member or the Bench since the 20th of February, 1830, and in the discharge of his duties proved himself an upright and useful magis trate. In private lite Mr. Mansell was deservedly re spected for the friendliness of his disposition, the frank ness of his manner, and his straightforward and honour able conduct. It is genet ally expected that the vacancy_ on the bench occasioned by the death of Mr. * Mansell will be filled up by the election of John Thomas De Sausmarez, Esq., Is to Queen's Comptroller, whose legal - experience will make him a. valuable ao. -nisey Star. Speth has arrived at Esher from her 'Puce, Osborne, Isle of Wight. ~.
