May the First cut out the work to the last turn, where Master Teddy, &taller, and Sir Felix passed him, Pickwick lying next; a few strides beyond the distance-post he ran by them, remained in front to the end, and won cleverly by a length. Second heat.—Betting, .3 to I on Pickwick, who was kept in reserve for the third heat. Tenebrosa made play for the first mile, when Nominee took it up, and won by three-parts of a length. Third heat.-3 to lon Pipkwick.

Mr. Firth's Wilderness, 3 yrs Mr. Scott's May the First, 4 yrs Mr. Wells's Carlow, aged Owing to a misinterpretation of the conditions of entry, Pickwick was named, and started for the first heat, which he won in a canter. He was then objected to, and the race awarded to Wilderness, who came in second, Pickwick, as a matter of course, being considered out of it. The second heat was won in a canter. The Hurst Cup, run for on Thursday, was remarkable for a few " Pauline" characteristics. As our report stated, the first heat was won by Alsdorf, the second by Drogheda, an I the third by Bedford, Drogheda running him in very close. It was, of course, expected that the winner of one heat and the second for the third would show for the deciding one ; and she certainly did show, inasmuch as the jockey mounted and took her to the post. Her owner then suddenly discovered that it would not be convenient to loscher for the 200 soya. (the claiming price), and sent her away, amidst a storm of groans and hisses. An order by the stewards to withhold the cup led us to expect that some inquiry would take place, and for this reason we abstained from noticing the circumstance at the time. The clerk of the course, however, has since received instructions to deliver the cup to the owner of Bedford, and the matter is se far at an end. NEWTON RACES - -WEDNESDAY.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS . (FRIDAY EVENING.) T IME S.—Some sensation was caused this morning in the city by the refusal of the London house of agency of the Commercial Bank at Manchester to honour its draughts, and it is presumed, consequently that the next accounts from Manchester will announce the stoppage of payments there. The event is by no means unexpected, us previous accounts from Manchester have intimated that this bank bas been for some time past under considerable discredit there. D!strust was in the first instance pro duced by a division among the Directors at the head office, and a secession of some of them . from acting. Great confusion was known to exist at several of the more important branches namely, at Liverpool, Black burn, Preston, Rochdale, and Birmingham, to all of which places it is said Mr. Hastings, the sub manager at Manchester, bad been deputed to iavestigate overdrawn accounts, and particularly those regarding the local boards of directors. These overdrawn accounts were mostly by cotton-spinners, whose mills, by the great, falling off of their business bad become of nominal value , only. One of the Manchester directors is currently re-' ported to have overdrawn his account to the exterkt . A 50,0001. In consequence of the dist rus t th us ex(od, their notes of issue were either refused or taken • . Hi utely to.the Bank to be exchanged. The paid- pital of the Bank is stated to be on paper 500,0001. i 0,000 shares of Si. each. The follow:ng are the place busi ness of this bank—namely, head office. Man ester; branches at Birmingham-, Blackburn, Burslem, Chester, Haslingdeo, Leek, Liverpool, Newport (Salop), Preston, Rochdale, Shrewsbury, Tenbury, Todmorden, Uttoxeter, and Wialtelrerch. As the operations of the bank lie so much in the manuracturing districts, which are already suffering from other causes, it is feared that the failure, notwithstanding the warnings previously given, will dp . mush mischief. The failure of the Agricultural and Commercial Bank of Dublin which was announced on Saturday, has di rected the attention ' of the monied interest to the previous history of that concern, which is well worth the knowledge of the public in general, as an illustration of the ban ki ng system in Ireland. ( After giving numerous details relative to the history of this Bank, together with the published statement on the occasion of the present failure, the writer adds:—) " Thus, upon the showing of the bank, if all the assets are realized, there will be a loss to the shareholders of about 50,000/., but as the assets appear on the face of the account to be of a very uncertain nature, they may consi der themselves very fortimate if it does not tern out, on the winding-up, that more than one-half of the capital has been lost. How the concern has been managed since the last failure and resumption of business is a matter to which at present there is no access, but it is abundantly evident that the resumption ought not to have been pat mitted, and that the shareholders would - have been in a much better state had they insisted on a realization of the assets at that time. There is, however, that degree of vitality about Joint-Stock banking, and so many parties interested in keeping up the delusion under which schemes like this are concocted and c4rried on, that it is by no means a sure conclusion that the • Agricultural' will not be set upon its legs again." II ERA L D.—These joint-stock bank failures just now are ex:reinely aiveree to the interests or pretensions, and representations put forward by those delegated to appear in their behalf before the ir,tve of Commons Committee on billing. It is mentioned of another joint-stock bank in the same town that advantageous changes had been made in the management, by the introduction into the direction of a higher and more wealthy class of respectable and sub stantial traders, in lieu of others inferior in station and qua lification retiring. It is all in favour of the stability of the concerti that men of real standing should consent to incur the risk and responsibility of thus placing them selves in the front of the battle. It will be remem bered that one of the strongest objections urged against the. Manchester joint-stock batik management was the very unsatisfactory c'earacter generally of their direction, both .n respect of property qualification m and social position. An absurd abition has been pre valent among the smaller and little-estimated fry of trades men there to become bank directors in these company concern:, as if by the fact they really could become en titled to take rank as bankers. Therefore it was de t people were seen recklessly and besottedly subscribing for hundred of shares in the outset of bank schemes, upon an understanding, with the wily projectors of being intro duced into the direction and constituted therefore as they supposed a portion of the banking aristocracy or the gen. tility of banking squirearchy. In this way the whole available capitals of such men were invested and involved, and even the whole of a large portion of the shares so rashly taken pledged for the means of paying up deposits or instalments. It followed of course with these bank directors (God save the mark!) who were in trade, that they helped therneelvea freely to credits and d'r.eetrrits-trut of the banks under their disinterested care. What on earth could a parcel of ignorant, uneducated dolts of cotton dealers, lounging out every day of their lives on 'Change but one market day in each week, and entire'y uneonversant with mere details of book-keeping more than the concoction of a bill of parcels of Bowed Georgian or Sea lolanda, know of the principles of banking ; and how much superior to these could fustian-makers and calico-dealers be reckoned ? The infusion of more respectability into the direction of the banks in Menchester, which occasion was teken to urge a few days since as a first necessity for acquiring and securing a larger share of public confidence and credit, may so far be regarded therefore as of more favourable omen, lets in the day as the reform has been commenced, for commenced it can only be yet said to be. Lot the fus tint folks stand to their ending and mending, in like manner as the cobler is wisely bid to stick to his awl, and leave banking to those who have brains as well as money. It is, bon aver, becoming more clear every day that some decisive action must be taken by the Legislature in respect of joint-stock banking and currency. There can be no medium action; either paper coinage or is. sues must be free and unfettered as the air, or simplified and restricted in one sole and controlling source. In England the Scotch system so far is an utter failure, and its success in a circumscribed country and a limited sphere of busiaess like Scotland is no sufficient test of its fitness end safety for extensive application in a field of dealings and money interchanges so vast and incalculable in amount as England. The attempt to tamper with, modify and mingle the two principles of perfect freedom or absolute restriction in the creation and circulation of money values, must prove, as it has hitherto proved, vain and abortive ; the never failing cause of monetary derangements and banking embarrassments. SUN.—Rumours were current this afternoon of bills to a large amount, drawn by a Manchester Joint Stock Bank on their London correspondents, having been dishonoured, but we refrain from the publi cation of the names. The Foreign Exchanges_ were steady, but not so buoyant as on last post lay. The Committee of Spanish Bondholders, being un able to obtain the sanction of Messrs. Ricardo for the immediate publication of their plans for enabling the Government at Madrid to relies° itself from some of its embarrassments, the second report will be early made known. Spanish Active Bonds closed heavily at 24. There has only been a small speculative business to day in the funded debt, and no alteration has occurred in prices, but there is - evidently more disposition to make bona fide investments. Money is not easy, but wo believe rather less difficult to be obtained. The Railway Shares were depressed in the morning. but subsequently rallied a little. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JUNE 26. INJUNCTION.-...." A DISTINGUISHED MEMBER OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY."-MOON V. BROOKES. Mr. K. Bruce applied to-day upon notice on behalf of Messrs. Moon and Co., the eminent printsellers, for an in junction to restrain the defendants fromi pirating a valuable engraving published by them, entitled " A distinguished member of the Humane Society." In the statements of the Learned Gentleman it appeared that by some new pro cess the defendant took off eminent prints, and painted them on canvass. In the present instance be had done to with the engraving in question, and to restraio him from doing which the present injunction was applied for. The defendant, although be had been served, did not ap7ear.... His Honour immediately granted the injunction. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 26. GRAVENOR V. BARBER BEAUMONT. The Court was occupied the whole of to-day with this case. The plaintiff is a hatttr in Hizh.street, SI adwell, and cffocted a policy to the amount of 1,6001. for the premises in which he lived, and carried on his business. The fire took place in March last year, and destroyed his stock, furniture, and fixtures, and his loss was estimated at 4141., for which amount the action was brought. The defence was, that the claim was a fraudulent one, and that the lots was by - no mcat.s as great as was repre seated. A great number of witnesses were called for the plain tiff, the greater portion of whom were hatters, in the habit of supplying the plaintiff with hats, as to the probab'e value of the stsck, Sze. Some witnesses sera also exa mined on the part of the defendant on the same point. No direct or conclusive evidence was, however, given on either side. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the Jury found for tic plaintiff—Damages, 1621. NOVEL SCENE IN A CHAPEL - 7 —The Rev. Thomas Adkins, the pastor, read f. out the pipit of the Inde pendent Chapelrat Scuthampton, • on Sunday last, an Address to her 1114tjesty. on the late treasonable at- empt on her life; after which the Rev. Gentlemen said, " as it would be impos • Bible for the whole of the congregation to signify that they :Treed to the sentiments contained in the Address, by their sig natures, he should propose that they should rise from their seats in ti,ken of their acaulescience;' when all the congregation immediately rose '• to express to Heaven their gratitude fer the precious life that h-:d been so providentially preserved." ne simultaneous and unanimoug expression of loyalty by a religious cong regation (says the Hampshire Independent) within a sacre edifice, an:l amidst the solemnities of Christian worship, was extremely interesting, and will be long remem bered by those present as one of the most solemn and affectito• ceremonies that-could be witnessed." FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) " For myself, I never will consent to pay a sixpence for teaching as the word of God is hat I believe to be contrary . to that word." So says Sir R. Inglis in the House of Corn moos, and so says Jolin Thorogood, in Chelmsford gaol. A more perfect identity of determination cannot be conceived, The words as we now quote them are part of Sir Robert's speech on the Mavnooth grant, but we believe the very terms, and Certainly the exact sentiment, to have been re peatedly employed, previously, by his fellow Protestant. The fixed purpose of both is on record ; the public has cognizance of the Inglis and Thorogood resolve. But John Thorogood is not coming to the House of Commons next Tuesday to move for the right of taxing Sir Robert Inglis and his co-religionists for the cost and support ols two thousand • ndent chapels. Sir Robert Inglis is coming to the ' of Commons next Tuesday to obtain the power o . obn Thorogood's co-religionists for two thousand new churches, more or less, according to the _scale of extension which his legislative wisdom may prefer. The two protesting authorities start from their perfect unity into a wide contrast. How will the Member for Oxford University make out his consistency ? What possible pre text is left to him, after his recent declaration? (From the Morning Herald.) The threats and persecution which the Privy Council Committee of Education are so plentifully helping on the National Society, for not submitting to their imperious and unconstitutional dictation on the subject of school inspec tion—are strongly illustrative of the taste, character, and designs of the existing Adinluistration. Having erected themselves into a tnriet tribunal, such as was never before heard of in our historical records—having affected to take the nomination of all the schoolmasters in the three king doms into their hands—they are now sallying out with brooms and birches, just like so many angry pedagogues, to flog and chastise all who will not submit to their sum mons. It would be ludicrous, if it were not melancholy, to behold 'these men pretending to combine all the details of village schools with the government and statistics of the British empire—to see them adjourning, from mooting the questions of peace and war, to councils relating to alpha bets and spelling-books—to find Lord. Lansdowne now in grave conclave about China and the opium trade, then confabbing with Dr. Kaye about school inspection, and how to floor the National Society—all this, we say, would be matter of mere ridicule and raillery, if it did not por tend the most settled, insidious, and desperate designs of the present Ministers, to bring about the ruin and over throw of our existing ecclesiastical institutions. (From the Morning Post.) Lord John Russell has announced that the Government has not time this Session to discuss the Poor-law Bill, and therefore he will bring in another Bill providing for the continuance of the existing Poor-law Commission until the end of next year. It is remarkable how very difficult these Ministers find it to obtain time for the examination and discussion of those things which most nearly affect the condition of the English poor. Certainly the rules and proceedings of the existing Poor-law Commission are not so unsnimous;y and heartily approved as to deprive the subject of interest, or to render it quite satisfactory that the power of the Commission should be prolonged without alteration or discussion. We think there are many rea sons why the Ministry ought to have found time fur a dis cussion of the Poor-law. If the English poor could be made as instrumental in returning Ministerial Members to Par:isment as the Irish poor are, Ministers would not so readily neglect that in which the Engl:sli poor have so im. mediate an interest. (From the Times.) When Mr. Charles Buller asked Lord Palmerston last Monday, whether the Report of Messrs. Mudge and Featherstonhaugh upon the geographical matters con nected with the North-west boundary question between England and the United States had not been received by the Queen's Government, and if so, when it would be laid upon the table of the House of Commong, - the ,ahswer of that noble Fhufflf.r appears to have been a characteristic one—viz., that the Report had been received; that he was preparing it to be laid upon the table of the House, " and hoped to be able to do so in a week or ten days." Now, what does Lord Palmerston mean by " preparing an cffi cial Report" for publication ? Does he mean to signify, that after the manner cf the Normanby sheriffs in Ireland, he is " packing" the materials of the Report, as many of those respsctable functionaries are accused of baring oft 'n packed the raw materials of a verdict, that is the names composing a county panel fur jurymen in cases of political or Rihand murder ! Are we to understand that to prepare a Report is to " garble" it l If so, it seems to us that the proceeding of Lord Palmerston in this case, as in many others, ought to be carefully watched, overhauled, and rifted. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JUNE 9.4.—TRIAL OF JONES FOR RlB lONtsm.—This case, which occupied the Commiss:on Court the entire of yesterday, was brought to a conclu sion this afternoon. Sergeant Green recapitulated the evidence on behalf of the Crown. Mr. Justice Ball addressed the Jury, and his summing-up occupied nearly an hour. He read all the documents proved in the case very minutely, and made observations upon them : the tone and bearing of his charge were strongly against the prisoner. He was of opinion that the documentary and parole evidence given on the part of the Crown was very satisfactory. The Jury retired, and at a quarter before three o'clock returned into their box with a verdict of Guilty and a recommendation to mercy, on the ground that the offence committed occurred very recently after the passing of the Act of Par liament under which the prisoner was convicted. The Court took a note of this recommendation. Coun sel on the part of the prisoner then intimated their in tention of moving an arrest of judgment on certain points, and the Attorney-General having agreed to post pone the judgment till to-morrow, the points raised will then be argued. This is the first conviction under the Bill brought forward by the Government last Session for the more effectual suppression of illegal societies in Ireland. The Mail has a letter from Bclturbet about the seizure of two Ribbonmen in the house of Mr. Patrick Prunty. One of the men, it is said, has been com mimed to Cavan jail ; the other held - to bail. LIBEL CASE.—The Court of Queen's Bench has been three days occupied with an action for libel, brought by the Rev. P. Cumming, Rector of a parish in Monaghan, against the proprietor of the Frceman's Journal.. The Jury were discharged last night without agreeing to a verdict. - THE REGISTRIES —At the registry of Ratlikeale, county Limerick, the Reformers registered 46, and the Tories only one ! The Tories arc holding back until the passing of Lord Stanley's Bill! THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.—OR Sunday, by the di rection of the Right It v. Dr. Higgins, Bishop of Ar dagh, a solemn thanksgiving was offered to Almighty God In every Catholic church within this extensive diocese, for his late merciful preservation of the Queen from the treasonable attack upon her life and that of her Illustrious Consort. The Clergy of the diocese pur pose meeting at his Lordship's residence Ballysh a n non , next week, for the purpose of forwarding to her Majesty a congratulatory address. The.Pdot complains of the non-attendance of Irish Members, affirming that the majority oa Saturday morning, which was si-,ven, might have been sixteen, al lowing the English Solicitor-General the leave of ab sence, to which a recent domestic 1.43 clearly entitled him. DUBLIN, Juict 25.-.-TarAr. OF JONEs..—At the siting of the Court this morning, the prisoner was placel at the bar, when Mr. Brewster, Q.C., rest•, and moved an arrest of judgment on certain points ; among others, on the omission of the word such in the indictment : for instance, in the indictment, where it charged the pri soner with being " a member of a secret society using signs and pass-words," and " communicating with the members," should have said " communicating as such members," according to the terms of the streut2 undtr which he was indicted. The omission of the word such would leave any communication between members of a secret society, however innocent, liable to the penalties of the Act, whereas, the word such confined the com munications to the actual business of the society.—T►:e Court postponed giving judgment on the points raised until Saturday. MR. EGERTON. WEBBE.—It is with the deepest sorrow that we have this day to announce the death of Mr. Egerton Webbe, son of Mr. Samuel Webbe, Park-terrace, Tox• teth-park and nephew to Mr. Egerton Smith. 'Mr. Webbe was well-known in the literary circles of this country and of Eu rope, as an elegant and profound scholar, and an accomplished writer, who excelled in every department of literature, and em bellished every subject of which he treated, by the originality and vigour of his versatile and almost universal genius.

This extraordinary and much lamented young gentleman died on Wednesday afternoon, in the thirtieth year of his age, after a severe indisposition of six mouths.—Li verpool Mercury ALL. TILE DIFFERENCE.—At a small market town in Oxfordshire, delightfully situated on the banks of the Isla, the docile parishioners have lately suffered a rather heavy church.rate to be levied upon them, which the churchwardens determined to expend in ornamenting the interior of the church. Whilst the painter was busily pursuing his avocation within this venerable structure, the curate entered the sacred edifice, and observing that the man of colours hed his hat on, he inquired, in a very authoritative tone, why be presumed to wear his bat in the church. "I am afraid of catching cold," was the meek reply ; " Never mind that; ' ' you see flee n e windows are all ope." you must not wear inquired yo ur hat in the cliureh." " Pray, Sir," th e painter, , 4 why do -you wear yours?" "Me , sir ! oh, that's a very different matter! 1 am a part of the church !" A SUBSTITUTE.--.Alt Irish officer in the 40th rang his bell so often that no servant the landlady could hire wo uld stop in the house, or could stand running up stairs. The officer consequently received notice to quit, which being unwilling to do, and finding the cause of warning, he promised never more to ring his bell again. Upon this understanding; he retired to his apartmeht. In about half an hour the whole house was alarmed by the report of a brace - of pistols in the Captain' s ro om. Up rushed the landlady, the lodgers, and the servants, and burst open the door, in the full expectation of some di cidiul catastrophe. " Coffee !" coolly s isl the Captaln.

London, June :24. 1840 Sir,—This great, glorious, and Christian Conven tion closed its labours last night, am!, taking alt things into consideration, there never was a Convention with a more moral, sublime, or humane object befotc assem bled in th e world. I except none of all the great Cot ventions of civilized nations, in times present or past. Americans, Ne„-rnes, Indians—" Dusk bc,s with white silken turbans wreathed ;" Frcnchvnen. Scotch' men, Irishmen, Englishmen ; all nations, al sects, all re ligions, all creeds ; delegates even front the female por tion of the world, cane thousands of mileS to help, by their influence, or conform with their understandings, the moral necessity of the abolition of all slavery on earth." tVhat a holy ! what a beautiful! to hat a glorious object! and will not their efforts be crowned with suc cess? Yes, most ce:gainly ; the moral influence of this vast Convention will spread ail over the earth, and bear down opposition like an ocean which has burst its barriers ! Who is there, that was present at its first meeting, will ever forget the sincerity, the piety, the purity of Clarkson's reception? All other public meetings, with their votes of thanks, their moving and seconding, their_ uproarious applause, their noisy enthusiasm, their common-place resoiutions and ordinary set speeches, ebrunk from the comparison of Clarkson's heartfelt sirpplicity and unaffected address. I came into the meeting, on the invitation of others ; I sat down, as usual, expecting what 1 had always heard, long-worde4 common places, and no " present occasions" to get tiriie to think, when, to my utter surprise, in' came the aged, grey-headed veLeran of the cause, fol lowed by his interesting daughter, and a simple, un affected b.sy !—a moment's pause was requested, when the whole assembly seemed to p ra y. U p rose f ee bl y, and Icann . 4, - on another for support, Thomas Clarkson, his voice scarcely audible, his body bent, his fact -be traying nervous and agitated feeling, his eyes diin;lout his heart evidently as deeply touched as in the vigour and prime of his manhood. He spoke simply of the friends who are deade._ said if he had another life he would devote that IMI the cause ; he bade the meeting to take courage, to persevere, and he prayed the Almighty to bless their holy object. There was no applause —no noise—no evidence of. feeling for a minute ; a t l as t, w i t h out earnest—w i thout arrangement—without any communication but of heat —the whole assemby said Amen T.—Amen Never was I so :affected fiam toy youth! 111{1 behind me sobbed like - children; and let the world be assured in that av%ful amen- , --amen—was heard the death knell of slavery over the earth ! That such a horrid curse should have existed through so many ag s is appalling to reffsct on. Let all of us remember in our daily and hourly, common enjoyments, that whtu we cat and drink and sleep, and fondle with our cirif dro), and caress our very animals, that at that story instant there are 28,000 human beings on the Atlantis —without air, or food, or rest, or freedom from toature of mind or body ! Let them reflect if such are so suffering is the passage, what those are suffering who have long passed ! In a word, there is not one nr , ,,- ment out of the 24 hours day and night in witch slaves can be said to have their decent rights as huc.:an creatures, with sympathies like ourselves. Let us suppose that exasperated by such hourly infamies the Almighty Creator of all things should ordain that tv, ry civilized being in Europe should suffer for one tu-soth the tortures negroes suffer, bow long would slavery exist? Hoy, would the ricli British mc.tehant like to be dragged from his fricandeau, his champaigne and hock, to be stripped and ft wed, and starved till he tainted ? flow would the beautiful youcg mother of high rank, like to have her lovely infant torn f-om its downy and golden cradle, and flune into the sea as an incumbranca the slave-owrur wanted not ? How would the thorough-bred Briton like to be stretched on his back, his teeth examined like a horse's, his wind tried, and his shoulder branded ? Would not all England rise as one man and stamp the curse to the earth which inflicted such horrid wrongs ? Then why will not all England, and all France, and all Europe, and all the world, rise as one, on the same d..y, and utterly, and for ever remora this demoniac infamy from its humanities. A VISITOR.

The t fleet was beautiful, and the in tention of firing it having been generally known, it was witnessed by a vast number of spectators, notwithstanding it blew a stiff breeze, which deterred many from e geing out to Spitheacl. In the course of the morning Libut. Symonds, the executive cugineer, according to a plan par_ concerted between t stn and Colonel Pasley, sent down Mr. George Hall, the diver, who placed first a charge of 471b5., and afterwards another charge of 2601ba. of powder on the spot ciiginally occupied by the male hatchway, on the orlop deck, which were fired sun cessively by Professor Daniell's voltaic battery, as soon as he came up, the second charge being placed in the bole made by the first. Col. Pasley came out about one o'clock, and about half-past one the great cylinder, loaded with 25i barrels, or nearly 2,3001b5. of gunpowder, with the voltaic conducting apparatus attached to it, was raised out of a launch alongside by the derrick of No. 5, lump, and lowered into the water so as to rest a little above the surface, where it remained suspended by the bull-rope of the derrick. Hall was then sent dean. At about a quar ter past two o'clock he came up and reported that the cy linder was properly placed. All being ready, Col. Pasley ordered his bugler first to sound the " preparative," arid a minute afterwards " the fire." At that moment Lieu tenant Symonds completed the circuit with the vol taic battery and an immediate explosion took place, the shock being felt and the report heard at the same in stant. In a few seconds afterwards the surface roka three or four feet in a circle of moderate size, from the centre of which, almost immediately efterwatls, a column cf water at least 50 feet high, and of a conical form was thrown up, beautifully sparkling in the sun, which was hailed by the hearty cheers of all the workmen employed, as well as of the numerous spec tators, and soon after several large fragments of wreck came floating up, which proved to be the lower mart of the mainmast. The form of the column of water was not so regular as on former occasions, owing to the strong wind which acted upon it. When it fell down again, clear circular waves spread outwards from the same centre, making a great commotion s,t the stir face, and causing No. 4 lump, which was nearest to the explosion, to pitch a good deal. Soon after this the mud from the bottom came up, blackening the same circle of water, which spread outwards, disco louring the surface as it extended, and, at the same time €4lling the swell of the sea• for a space of w imps 200 yards in diameter. A great nuufber of stßills I fish came up dead, as on former occasions, which were picked up by the boatmen. There were more than- fifty yachts er large sailing boats present, whose decks were covered with spectators, among whom were a great muns~ her of ladies. The two Admirals and the General corn mending the garrison, with a great number of naval and military officers, and most of the officers of the dock-yard, with their families, were present, many of whom west ou board the two lumps to have a better view of the opera tions. The deck of the Success frigate was also crowded with spectators. The Bishop of Norwich, the Astronomer Royal, and the Russian Consul-General were preunt. The cylinder used on the 22d wag of wood with iron boors, like a mooring buoy. The massive reale limbers upon which the foremast and mizenmast were stepped, the after part of the kee!, the whole sterupost and dead wood over it, and an immense mass of the starboard,how, which rested on the keel, weighing more than 30 taus, and which %fly:is knocked down about eight moeths ago by the last great explosion of 1839, having been got fils this season, ag together with the h ee l o f t h e ma i nmast h aving b een nis eng ed from its step b y the great explosion which we have just described. Th ese circumstanceshow that the and removal o f the wrc to the botto m o f t h e vesse l, and ck have extended nearly also prove that the mud hail no tendency to accumulate, but is cleared away by the action of the tides, in propertied as the upper. parts of the wreck arc demolished and removed. effect of the last explosion could not be ascertained, as the tide ran too strong for the direr, who went down again a ft e r it, to quit his ladder, but it is pre sumed that it will have blown out the larboard side o , the wreck, and that it will have broken up timbers in all directions, probably fracturing not only the step of the main side opposite was shattered and thrown down by the Ern mast, but the kelson and keel below it. The starboard great explosion ofi 1839. Upon the whole there seems every reason to hope, that before the end of to season the whale of the wreck of the Royal George will' have been sufficiently removed to enable vessels to anchor ever ;.he spot without incurring the risk of losing their anch ors and cables. If so, probably the Government may be induced to remove the wreck of the Edgar alto, from whi c h Liewf, Symonds recovered five iron guns during Cul. Pesky's last official visit to Chatham, the surface of which, after an ix meriion of 129 years, proved to be converted into very soft carburet of iron or plurebage to a considerable depth, on removing the mass of oysters, &c., with which they were incrusted. These guns are remarkable fur being much thicker at the breech, and thinner et the muzzle. than guns of the same calibre of more modern construc tion, from which the iron guns reeevered from the Royal George differ very little.
