In a few days, probably, the trust you have committed to me will be replaced in your hands. If you disapprove of that which I have done—if you think the commercial policy erroneous, or the motives for adopting it insuffi cient or unworthy, I cannot solicit or expect the rerewal of your confidence. Stiil less can I solicit or expect it if you think that that policy ought to be reversed—it you de. sire to re-establish the principle of Protecticn—to re store the duties that have been repealed on cotton, on wool, on meat, on flour, on the long list of Imported articles, which are either the materials for domestic manufactures, or enter into general consumption as arti cles of food. It is my earnest hope that you will make your choice of a representative exclusively upon public grounds—that you will not permit the consideration of mere personal regard, or of my long connexion with you, to influence that choice against your deliberate judgment. If that deliberate judgment be in favour of the course which I have pursued, and which I propose to pursue, I shall hope for a continuance of your confidence— if it be not, our intercourse in all the relations of private life will not assume a less friendly character, if, in the discharge of a trust committed to you, you should give effect to opinions upon public matters at variance with those which I have expressed. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, With much esteem, Your faithful servant and friend, ROBERT PEEL. BOROUGH OF MARYLE BONE. Af R SERGEANT SkiEE'S COMMITTEE K beg to announce that there is no truth whatever in the rumour that he has retired in favour of any other Candidate, and they respectfully request that gentleman's supporters to be early at the Ballot, which will t.lte place at Hall's Riding School, on Mote- DAY next, between the hours of Nine in the Morning, and Eight in the Evening.

Such was the humorous but plain-spoken avowal of the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman th e M em b er f or B a th, when addressing the Liberal electors of London, te3terday, on the pro priety o f accepting the four popular ca ndidates— LAB:PENT, p A r nsoN, rtOTHSCIIILD, and RUSSELL. .. politician who undertakes to represent the opinions of any given constituency in Parliament, with any latent disrelish for the toils and agitations of legis lation, is not the sort of man to select among the different oandidateCandifference, even, is a charac terfilic lorrit:! be considered sufficient to dis fy a ik p ereqn from receiving the suff rages of the ~* , calied..;million. There must be a rnanisfesta tion;et something more than a tacit willingness to 'shake ir the rather onerous duties of the House of common beforditirandidate, can look with confidence a I the spuaval orthe electrs cf U n it e d -4.igg. THE SUN, dom. This, at least, should be the common agree ment of the householders and freeholders of the em pire, if they are solicitous to behold a Parliament fruitful in measures, and improvements, and inno vations for the advantage of themselves and their posterity. Exactly this kind of politician in ardour, in enthusiasm, in consistency, in perseverance, and in . a natural and positive liking for the atmosphere of political tumult, is Mr. ROEBUCK. The motto of his Parliamentary life, moreover, has been from first to last,'," Civil and Religious Liberty." Those, therefore, of the Bath constituency who are not pre-poisoned by the virus of bigotry and intolerance will not lightly abandon the advocate who has so long and earnestly laboured at St. Stephen's in the cause of progress and civilization. Satisfied as we are that the opinions of such a man as Mr. ROEBUCK must be listened to with respect by his own personal electors, we are no less convinced that his opinions will weigh considerably with those citizens of the metropolis who are possessed of the elective franchise, and who are at the same time determined to give their votes to none other than the real friends and champions of the people. The speech in which the Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Member for Bath reviewed the merits of the four Liberal candidates for the representation of London was candid, bold, and logical in its very abruptness. If there might be supposed to be any bias in the mind of Mr. ROEBUCK with reference to Lord J. RUSSELL as a political leader, one would expect it to be rather a bias averse than favourable to that eminent statesman. So, at least, the super ficial observer would calculate from the frequency with which Mr. ROEBUCK'S name has appeared in opposition to the measures of the Prime Minister. Differing, however, as the Member for Bath does upon many points with the Premier, what is the opinion expressed by him of the character of that Noble Lord ? " A more high-minded, straightfor ward, and honest man than Lord J. RUSSELL I do not know." That is surely a splendid panegyric. To how many Prime Ministers bygone would those three adjec tives apply besides Lord J. RUSSELL? To how many politicians ? To how many public characters ? And the Premier has not only earned such eulogiums for straightforwardness, highmindedness, and honesty by a long, active, and enterprising career as a reforming statesman ; he has done immeasurably more, he has preserved undiminished that ardour for the general good, that love of liberality, that passion for legisla tion, and that inflexible resolution to toil, and even to drudge, unceasingly in public business, which are the only true qualifications of the leader of a Government. If the electors of London, therefore, are desirous to be represented by a man who is capable of inhaling the atmosphere of political tumult, and who has ac tually a relish for it, they can have no hesitation whatever as to the acceptance or the rejection of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. His political creed, moreover, is pre cisely the same as when he last appeared before them on the hustings in Guildhall. He was there received with the enthusiasm due, not so much to the fact of his being the descendant of a patriotic race, as to that great fact of his Parliamentary life—his ardour in the cause of liberality. Let him and his colleagues be received with not one jot less of enthusiasm, for the same reason exists to-day as existed yesterday. Be sides, what can be expected from the opponents of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his brother candidates ? What can be expected from men, the beatings of whose hearts are for the reverse of the sublime prin ciples of civil and religious liberty ; of men who, in an age of " progression," are for a moral " stoppage" that would prove disastrous and destructive ; of men whose animosity to such practical measures as that of sanatory improvement damn them to everlasting fame as THE DIRTY POLITICIANS ? The long-expected proposition on behalf of the Spanish Government has at length been submitted to its duped and deluded creditors. The bantling pro duced after Mr. HENDERSON'S nine months' labour in Madrid, after his interviews with Spanish Min►sters and diplomatists of various nations, as at length made its appearance, and truly a more striking illustration of the old fable has seldom been witnessed. " Ifuntes parturiunt, nascitur ridiculus mus," may well be applied to the project extracted with so much difficulty from Senor SALAM&NCA, and ushered in by his extravagant protestations as to his anxiety to restore Spanish credit, and to do all that is befitting, or can be looked for, from Spanish honour. Truly that honour must be of a very evanescent character if nothing better or more tan gible can be looked for at the hands of the nation. " Base is the slave that pays," said ancient PISTOL in the olden time, and that Shakesperian worthy appears to have been the pro totype of modern Ministers of Finance in Spain, the model they aspire to imitate. Perhaps there is not an equally unblushing refusal. Something ap proaching to an apology may be made to the un happy creditors. The Speech from the Throne may announce the royal desire that something may be done, which will be duly heard, applauded, and responded to verbally in the Cortes ; but something invariably occurs to lead to further procrastination, and to induce the representatives, in tender consider ation for the financial difficulties of the Ministry, to adjourn to a future convocation the question in which matters of such trivial import as the national honour and the national honesty only are at stake. Far better for its members to intrigue for new changes in the Ministry, to give each successive member of the various Cabinets which are set up and pulled down with such edifying regularity, after an official existence of a few brief months, a full opportunity of accumulating a large private for tune by the vilest system of corruption and pecula tion, while the honest creditors, who advanced their fortunes on the national faith, are involved in destitu tion and ruin. Far better that they should prate of " protection to their national industry," and with wilful blindness continue those exclusions and pro hibitions that lead to an organized and extensive system of smuggling, that make wealthy capitalists invest their money in the contraband trade as readily, and with as few scruples of conscience, as if it were an ordinary and legitimate commercial speculation— that converts their hardy border peasants, qualified for much higher pursuits, into lawless and de moralised banditti, contemners and despisers of the law (within whose meshes only small game are en tangled), and ready tor any enterprise or act of any de gree of daring or atrocity, from the sale of a contraband cigar to plundering and holding to ransom the way taring traveller, or plunging their stilettos into the hearts of the victims who may have excited their anger, or for whose removal a sufficient sum is offered, than comply with the vulgar prejudice in favour of payment of debts. By a judicious change and alteration in their laws they would be enabled easily to obtain funds amply sufficient for all the exigencies and wants of the country, and the punctual discharge of their national liabilities and obligations, were they really anxious to redeem the - national character; but so long as England will patiently see her subje c t s swindled out of their property, and they them selves can be amused and satisfied with frivolous and evasive pretexts or apologies, so long will the discredit able system so long resorted to, be continued and perpetrated. We have too long been amused with fair words—a more energetic course must be adopted. The present offer is altogether "a mockery, a de lusion, and a snare." It opens wit:a a modest propo sition, that the bondholders should voluntarily give up a certain portion of the principal money due to them ; that they should relinquish twelve per cent. of their claims, this sum amounting to more than 8,000,000/. sterling on the full amount of the bonds, and to 4,520,000/. on the 46,000,0001. sterling due to c ß r fi l t c i s e h d ; subjects, na y far i s worse,at once it is andnoitrrmeveocal irrevocably to s biefisa rehy its acr ce, that is the chi e f o bj ect i on. It is to be oih ofa beingn d solded over to sl the Spanish Minist r y, f or t h e purposedl in . the market, and the p roceeds handedover to the Spanish Exchequer ; if d o l ts sufficientlyto dupes with more money than wit, sufficiently credu lous, can be found to invest their money in such a lot tery, from whence the prizes are all extracted, and the blanks distributed with the most praiseworthy impartiality. This is the pivot or turning point of the whole proposition. Spain again wishes to become a borrower, but her disgraced and dishonoured secu rities will not now attract the veriest idiot. Th e i st of bands any is proposed loan of 1,000,000/. on or tali n Treasury cap going begging.

Sales 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 were on speculation and for exportation. Total sales of the week, 40,160 bales. Stock, 420,260 bales, against 763,180 bales at this time last year. In Shares, likewise, there was not a great deal doing, but Frices remained much the same. The features in the Bank of England statement of liabilities and assets for the week to the 10th init. are these:— Notes issued £23,304,805 Decrease 257,525 Rest, increase. 62,083 Public deposits Decrease 4,493,605 Other deposits, increase 7 day and other bills, increase Government securities, decrease 170,046 Other securities, decrease 2,011,093 Notes reserved, decrease . Bullion . Decrease Active circulation 18,973,475 Increase It will be observed from this that the changes, as might be expected at the close of the quarter, have been of some magnitude. With a large withdrawal of public deposits, the Bank has been partly compensated by an increase of other deposits, the public benefiting by the di vidend payments, and the railways replacing on their own account what they had lodged with the Court of Chancery until their Acts were obtained. To meet the demands upon it the Bank, as usual, has obtained the re-funding of temporary loans, but in a week or two, and perhaps even now, may be renewing its accommodation to the full extent to customers and others. The pay ments from the Balk have been met partly by an exten sion of issues, and partly by a distribution of coin. There are no late ship arrivals to- day, and but little local news is to be obtained. Electioneering now en grosses cniet attention, and the canvassing is conducted with some spirit and zeal. The Funds have been lower. Consols 88i- to 89 for transfer, and 89 to for August. Exchequer-bills have been 9s. to 12s. premium.

Trade dull at full prices. blemished reputation that could sustain without damage the general indignation that would be aroused by the transaction. New schemes, there. fore, must be devised ,to replenish the exhausted treasury; and what more brilliant than to extract from the pockets of those already impoverished cre ditors a further contribution, on a promise hence- forward to act more fairly than has heretofore been the case. But this free gift to the Spanish Government is not all that is demanded. The Bondholders are also to consent to a reduction of the future rate of inte rest on their debts of no less than 2 out of the 5 per cent. at present promised, or at least to which they are legally and equitably entitled. A rather modest request this, that the parties should immediately re linquish 50 per cent of their just demands, should accept a compromise of 10s. in the pound from their debtor. This sacrifice, heavy as it is, might be sub mitted to, if the amount of the composition were to be paid in cash, or even sufficiently guaranteed by other and more solvent sureties. But let us see what is offered in return. Nothing, literally nothing —or, rather worse than nothing ; the payment of the residue is, forsooth, henceforward to be secured on the Customs exclusively, and the creditor is to give up his demand, for the payment of which the entire of the revenues of the State are pledged, for half the amount secured in one branch only of that revenue, and that the branch which, from their in sane commercial policy is rendered comparatively worthless ! As well might a bankrupt or insolvent debtor offer to his creditors that, in case they should consent to relinquish a moiety of their claims, and to strike off the name of every endorser from their bills who may be liable as a security, that he will promise to pay them at his perfect convenience the remaining balance, they being contented with his own security for the performance of that promise. There is little reciprocity in this ; it would savour strongly of what is termed by lawyers nudum pactum, where all the advantages would be on one side, and no corresponding benefit of any sort to the other. Persons do not generally make large sacrifices, abandon considerable portions of their principal money, and release and exonerate any portion of the securities they hold, without some sort of considera tion ; therefore a proposition such as we have above described would be scouted with well-merited in dignation if put forward by an individual, and such will, no doubt, be the fate of that which has just been submitted to the Spanish Bondholders. Madrid papers of the 20th have arrived. The QUEEN was to leave Madrid for La Granja on that day. The Moderadoes and Progresisstas are busily engaged in holding electoral meetings, as a dissolution of the Cortes is considered by no means improbable. Money still continues very scarce, and it is said there is no cash in the Treasury to pay the troops what became due to them on the 10th. A band of Carlists in Catalonia stopped the mail from Madrid to Barcelona, burnt the coach, and took the driver and courier prisoners. MADRID BOLA, JULY 10.—The Three per Cents. 26 money; Five per Cents. 161 money, 17 paper ; Debt without interest simoney, 5i- paper; Coupons 15 money. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Court of Peers remained in secret deliberation on the Cubieres case during the whole of Wednes day, and separated without coming to any decision. They were to re-assemble the next day, when it was supposed sentence would be pronounced, they having already, it is said, determined upon a verdict of guilty against all the accused. General CUBIERES has sent to the KiziG his resignation of the dignity of a peer, and of his commission as Lieutenant-General. M. TESTE, since his late attempt at suicide is kept under rigid surveillance. The Droit says— "lt was reported yesterday that the per on who took the pistols to M. Teste loaded tnem himself ; but being inexperienced in the use of such weapons, and not being aware that they were screw barrels, load d them from the muzzles, and lett a vacuum between the powdt r and the ball, which lessened the force of the shots. M. Taste has, during the last two days, received numerous visits, and is surrounded by all his late secretaries, who never quit him." Each day brings to light some fresh instance of corruption on the part of the Beaurocracy of France. The Presse says— " It is affirmed that M. Ardit, Chief of the Bureau des Prisons in the office of the Minister of the Interior, and whose brother was compromised by the recent affair at the Maison de Clairvaux, is removed from office. It is added, that a judicial if quiry is about to take place." Algiers papers to the 10th have been received. The illoniteur Algerien of that date says— " After having completed the pacification of the mountains between Collo, Milah, and the sea coast, the expeditionary column of Lip utenaot General Bedeau was dissolved on the 30th ult. That of Bona, under the orders of Colonel Senilhes, will continue until the 15th inst. its operations against the turbulent tribes of the frontier. More detailed accounts from Morocco, without contradicting the news already given by us, per mit us to view it in a more favourable light. It appears that Muley Abderrahman is decided this time to avenge the insult he has received. The troops united under the command of his son, Muley Mohammed, are marching against the Emir, and the latter appears to be very uneasy. No tribe has proclaimed him Sultan, nor does ally tribe, even in the Riff, seem disposed to throw off the very light yoke of the old Emperor to im pose on itself in all the dangers of a revolution that of the Emir, to whom is attached besides all the weight of an eternal contest with us. In this position, Abd el-Kader endeavours to calm Abderrahman by very sig nificant acts of respect. He delares that he has no hos tile intention towards him, and ascribes his attack upon the camp of El Hamar to the provocation and menaces that he has received. If his excuses are not received, everything tends to show that at this moment the advan tages are on the side of legitimate power. Thus the events which at fist occasioned us serious uneasiness would lead to the most satisfactory and most unexpected solution." The Akbar of the 9th states that a great part of the harvest in Algeria has been destroyed by locusts. The Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday con cluded the discussion on the budget of expenses for 1848. The sitting was marked by a short explana tion from M. GUIZOT on the new arrangement entered into by the French and English Governments relative to certain islands of Oceania. An attempt was made to have the discussion on the Lyons and the Avignon Railway Bills postponed to next session, but the Chamber decided that they should be disposed of at once. The Paris Bourse of Thursday was remarkable for a considerable fall in prices that took place towards the close of the market. Northern shares (ex divi dend) reached 5734, which, with the dividend (or interest of 4f.) would indicate 5774, and they closed at 565, being a fall from the highest price of 84f. This decline was the more remarkable because the returns of the receipts for the week ending Friday last showed an increase of nearly 30,000 f., the gross amount being 320,496 f. The shares of all the other lines fell more or less, but Government stock remained unaltered. .The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Thursday at 77f. 65c., the Five per Cents. at 1181150 c.; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,2721. 50c.; Rouen, 9621, 50c. ; Havre, 686 f. lac. ; Great Northern, 565 f. ; Avignon, 623 t. 75c. ; Vierzon, 587 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux, 480 f. ; Boulogne, 392 f. 50c.; Basle, 18.3 f. 75c. ; Paris and Strasburg, 420 f. ; Tours and Nantes, 395 f.; Paris and Lyons, 427 f. 50c.; Lyons and Avignon, 4301. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 4601.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.--A fatal accident occurred on this line yes terday to Robert Parker, an engine-driver.

William Triphook and John Finley were charged with uttering two torged cheques, purporting to be signed by Lord Skelmersdale, at Messrs. Coutts and Co. Mr. George, a clerk, in the employment of Messrs. Coutts and Co., said, that about a week ago, the prisoner Triphook entered Messrs. Coutts', and presented a cheque for IL It was signed as if by Lord Skelmers dale, and payable to Mrs. Wheeler. It was indorsed, "Pay Mr. Finley.—C. Wheeler." Witness paid it, and the prisoner went away. This morning the prisoner again offered a cheque for the same amount, and with the same signature, which, however, he rminedta•.ely per ceived to be a forgery. He told the prisoner so, and the prisoner replied, " Why, I gave you one like it last week, and you paid it." On referring to the file, witness found that the first cheque was also a forgery, though he had nut observed it. He immediately gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Muliens, who appeared for the prosecutors, ob served that he thought it would be necessary to examine Triphook as a witness. Policeman Thompson, F 98, was at the station when the prisoner Triphook was brought in, and heard him say that he got the cheque from Mr. J. Finley, the brother of Mr. Finley, an artist in the Strand, in whose service he (Triphook) was. Witness went to that per son's rooms, and took the other prisoner there. He said that he gave the cheques to the prisoner, and had re ceived them in the way of trade. The prisoner Triphook said that he received the first cheque from another person in the emplo) ment of Mr. Finley, the prisoner's brother. The second he received from the prisoner himself this morning. The prisoner Finley said that he was a tailor in Birmingham, and had received the first cheque in the way of trade from a person named Williams there. Having some suspicions, from the small amount and from its being written on a piece of common paper, and not on a printed form, as usual, he sent it to his brother by post, requesting him to send it to Messrs. Coutts's to get it cashed. He delayed bringing his business to a con clusion until he heard from his brother that the cheque was paid ; then, thinking that sufficient proof of the genuineness of the cheque was given, he gave Wheeler the goods he had bought and the change due out of 11. Yesterday being in London he received the second cheque by post from his father, who was managing his business in Birmingham. He had the letter in which his father endorsed the cheque, at his brother's house in the Strand. Mr. HENRY allowed the prisoner to go home in charge of the offices to look for the letter, and in a few minutes he returned with it. Mr. HENRY said that he was inclined to think the letter was genuine, and the prisoner's statement true, but it was a point of suspicion against Finley that when he expressed his doubts as to the genuineness of the first cheque, he did not make any inquiry as to the character of the person who gave it him. Mr. Mullens said that he thought Tripkook ought to be discharged at once, and the other prisoner admitted to bail. Mr. HENRY was of the same opinion, and it was ulti mately agreed that Finley should be liberated on giving his own recognizance for 1001., and his brother's for the same sum, on condition that he should go at once to Birmingham, with the officer, to endeavour to find Wheeler, and give him in charge. Triphook was accordingly dicharged, and Finley en tered into the required recognizances to appear again on Thursday next. The parties then left the Court. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Daniel Hitchcock, who was brought up yesterday at Lambeth Police-court, en the charge of having murdered two of his children about six or seven years ago, and which charge rested upon his own confession, was brought before Mr. Combo, in pursuance of Mr. Norton's direction, for filial examination, the alleged murder having been committed within the Clerkenwell district. Inspector Valentine stated that he had made in quiries since the prisoner surrendered himself, and two persons were now in attendance, who could give the Magistrate some information on the sate of the pri soner's mind. One of them, the prisoner's landlord, said be considered him not to be sound in mind; while his employer stated, that although eccentric occasionally, he never seemed unconscious of the consequences of his actions. Mr. COMBE inquired what the nature of the person's confession was ? The inspector replied that he had accused himself of having, by means of arsenic, procured abortion twice in a female with whom he resided. Mr. CO3IBE said he could not see the slightest grounds for suspecting that there was any foundation for the crime of which the prisoner wished to make himself appear guilty. The probability was that he had acted as he had done through some morbid anxiety for noto riety, or perhaps by bringing the name of the female before the public he thought to annoy the party to whom she was now married. He should order him to be at once discharged. _ _ _ The self accused then left the court apparently very reluctantly, and muttering something about great dis tress of mind for his imaginary crime.

Among the distinguished names recently placed upon the visitors book, is that of his Royal Highness Prince Peter of Oldenburg. METHODIST NEw CONNEXION.—The minutes of the fifty- first annual conference of this society, which was held at Hanley, commencing on the 24th of May 'last, have just been published. From these we learn that the connexion have in England 277 chapels, in Ireland 15, and in Canada 35. In England there are 79 circuit preachers, 705 local preachers, 15,236 members, 219 Sabbath -schools, 6,422 Sabbath-school teachers, and 35,266 scholars. In Ireland there are 12 mis sionaries, 12 local preachers, 852 members, and 641 Sabbath scholars. In Canada there are 35 missionaries, 59 local preachers, and 3,201 members. The yearly expenses, for relieving distressed districts, m eeting extraordinary expenses, and extending the connexion, amounted to 1,6711. 15s. 9d. to meet which, 9111. 16s. were borrowed from the Beneficent Fund. The Beneficent Fund amounted to 2,4731. 9s. 10-id. and, after deducting large amounts lent to other funds, there was still a balance in the hands of the treasurer of 1634 9s. 4id. The Mission Fund shows on the debtor side a sum of 3,3241. 6s. 2d., and on the creditor side a balance in hand of 81/. 2s. 70. The Chapel Fund shows on the debtor side a sum of 1,7381.85. 104 d., with a balance in the treasurer's hand of 2451. 13s. oid. Besides this, upwards of 2,4001. have also been locally raised for the reduction of chapel debts, which, added to the 1,0441. granted by con ference, make a total of 3,444/. of actual relief for the year. The 20,0001. subscribed for the Jubilee Fund was directed to be distributed in the follow ing proportions :—Relief of distressed chapels 8,000/. ; preparatory institution, 6,0001.; home mission, 2,000.; foreign mission, 1,000. ; Canadian and Irish mission, 1,0001. ; aged and retired ministers, 2,0001. It was resolved that the next conference should be held at Liverpool on Whit-Sunday, 1848. The conference avowed a determination to keep the expenditure of each year within the income, as the only means of preserving the independence and respectability of the connexion. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.-TLIURSDAY. TES C.P.—The race for this prize not having been run until fonr o'clock, we were obliged to confine our report sent by the express train to a bare return. We subjoin the latest betting, and a brief sketch of the running.— Betting-5 to 1 agst Pic Nic, 5 to 1 agst Camera Oliseura, 6 to 1 agst Conjuror, 7 to 1 agst Quadruped, 10 to 1 agst Plaudit, 12 to 1 agst Inheritress 12 to 1 agst Conspiracy, and 15 to 1 agst Pantasa. Inglewood jumped off at starting, but was immediately passed by Pic Nic, who went on with the running at a good pace, followed by Inglewood, the latter waited on by Pantasa, Inheritress, Conspiracy, and the Conjuror, with several others laying up. Pantasa was beaten at the bridge turn, but the other members of the front rank maintained their positions to the last turn. Here Inheritress and Rowena became second and third, and so remained to the distance where they passed Pic Nic, Rowena by sufferance having the lead; Inheritress came at the half distance, took the lead at the stand, and won cleverly by a length; Rowena beating Pic Nic by half a length, Chanticleer a bad fourth, and Plaudit fifth. Run in 3 min. 27 secs. _ _ _ The attendance was immense, and the only drawbacks on the enjoyment of an excellent day's sport were the excessive heat of the weather, and the fearful confusion that, for wan;, of adequate police arrangements, pre vailed in the journey to and from the course; an amend ment in this respect has Jong beQn wanted.

THE ROYAL YACHTS.—Hundreds are daily availing themselves of the kindness of Lord A. Fiticlarence in allowing every one who pleases to go over the Victoria and Albert and the Fairy. The boatmen are reaping a good harvest. The yachting season, which has been so long delayed this year, appears to be about to commence in earnest. Numerous fashionable visitors are daily arriving, and the applications for houses increase; but we never re member so many houses to let at this late period before. THE HARVEST.—AII sorts of corn promise well. The harvest will commence in about three weeks. Beans, peas, turnips, &c., want rain. The potatoes never looked better, but cannot long stand out against the continued drought. Numores COLUMN.—Yesterday the works at Nelson's Column, Ti afalgar-square, after a lapse of nearly two months, were once more resumed, and, in consequence of the recent grant made by the House of Commons, it is said that this national monument is at length to be completed without any further delay. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The late assistant-surgeon of the Conway, Mr. Thomas Hart, committed suicide in Portsmouth this morning, leaving a note at his hotel, • hat disappointed hopes of his promotion had been the cause. It should however be observed, that one of his messroatess saw hita tipsy in the fair last night, THE CAOUTCHOUC TRADE. In consequence of the great aid constantly increasing dein.nd tor caoutchouc (a corruption of the name given it by the aborigines of Brazil, " cahuchu") in this country and other parts of Europe, and the Uiiited SO TO of North America, from the almost daily new uses to which it is foci id applicable, the attention of t he Brazilian Government and Legislature has bee n called to tt:e necessity of promoting the Pr °. pagation of the trees from which it is e x i tracted, serinya elastica. On this interesting s;1. important subject a memoir has been published by toil Brazilian Institution for encouraging agricultural sou' manufacturing improvements, from which it apPee i l that the extraction of the gum is become so great, tile' it is no longer procurable in the vicinity of towns er villages in the province of Para, in which the trees are only to be found which yield it, and those principalli on the island at the mouth of the river Amazons , on its banks in the interior ; so that at the rest moment a great many' heads of families proceed in t he proper season into the woods and forests aboun wob there, without habitation or means of subsisting bl from hunting and fishing, and thus lead a wandering solitary life, until enabled to return to their hogs with a sufficient quantity of the gum. Such, however' has been the demand, that it has led to the commission of many frauds, such as tilling the paens (loaves o r balls) into which it was generally formed, with mad and dirt, so that the purcha3ers were put to the tr ouble of opening them, in order to ascertain whether tbq were imposed on or not, and have been led to prefer in a plain and transparent state, that they may see pure and clean. In 1828 the quantity exported el! not exceed 4,000 milreis in value, and 20,0001 b. weight, whereas in the last financial year, 1845-6,1 amounted to upwards of 800,0001 b. besides 415,9 2 1 pairs of shoes, the whole valued at 500,000 milreis It becomes, therefore, a matter of great considerati on for Brazil not only to preserve this branch of h er trade in its present flourishing state, but likewise to uv able to augment its production in proportion to its tor creased consumption ; no other branch of its eXl OOll _, trade is so profitable, since nothing but manual la boe ' is required, and one man employed in its collection eel obtain extract sufficient in one day to make ten pairs (1)3 shoes, the current price of which being 300 re in gives three milreis per diem, equal at the current ev change to 7s. 6d. a day, which in that cheap cool may be considered equivalent to 10 s. 6 d. in the Veit Kingdom. tbirD XXitttott IMPERIAL PA RLIAMENT• (THIS DAY.)
