Besides, the Prefect does not object to the Reformers dining together by the thousand, so that all may take a turn at the table for the next six months. • Though M. Drouyn de l'Huis hes transmitted to the President of the Council his acceptance of the post of Director of Commercial Affairs, he will net be able to re pair to his post for these two months. M. Drou)n de l'Huis waits at Madrid for the arrival of M. de la Redorte, in order to make him acquainted with the actual state of the affairs of his embassy. M. Desaugiers was to con tinue the exercise of his functions; but the ill humour Which he manifested at his dismissal, and the necessity of filling up the Consular appointments which our treaty with Texas renders necessary, will accelerate the retreat of M. Desaugiers. If we are rightly informed, he will retire im mediately, and the Direction of Commercial Affairs will be united, till the arrival of M. Drouyn de l'Huis, to the political direction.— Capitole. It is still in contemplation to send reinforcements of troops to Algiers. Notice has been given to the AliEtary Magazines that many articles for the equipment of the cavalry, &e., are rn the road from Strasburg, and several other places. M. de Bois-le- Comte, Aid-dc-camp to the Minister of Minister of War, has been sent to Algiers, to obtain from Marshal Vallee a statement of the effective force of all the corps which occupy the several points of our possessions.

(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Matthew Barnes, a cellar man, and Stephen Pollard, who had hitherto been re garded in the neighbourhood where he resided as a respect able' tradesman, were placed at the bar before Mr. Long, the presiding M:lgistrate, charged as follows : The prisoner Barnes had been for some years in the employ of Edward Henderson, of No. 127, Piccadilly. wine merchant ; the other prisoner is a shoemaker, and carried on his business at a shop at Pimlico, and also one in Ormond-yard, St. Jarnes's.square, opposite to which Mr. Henderson's store-cellars are situate. A few days since Mr. Henderson received an anonymous letter, in consequence of which a police-constable was placed in private to watch the conduct of his cellarman, who was traced to the shop of Pollard, with a bag containing four bottles of sherry. Mr. Henderson identified an empty bottle found on Pol lard's premises, and Pollard's apprentice stated that his master had been in the habit of bringing home bottles of wine four or five times a week. The prisoners seemed greatly cast down, and were re manded till Saturday. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONDLL MARKETS.

THE AWFUL UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE.-011 1 Tuesday morning Mr. Gardner, who holds an official situation in the Stamp Office, at Somerset House, fell down suddenly upon reaching his home, after having got out of his gig, and almost instantaneously expired. He had reached the parlour, and was met by Mrs. Gardner, upon seeing whom he exclaimed, " Oh, dear me, I feel very bad indeed," when he became speechless. A surgeon was sent for, but he found medical aid unavailing. The un fortunate deceased, who resided at No. 9, Rahere-street, St. Luke's, has left a widow and family. DEATH FROM THE STING OF A FLY.—A woman of Vernon, in Normandy, says the Moulton- Parisien, has just died of the sting of a fly, after four days' suffering. It produced the disease called the charbon. A great number of people of various grades have passed through this town during Sunday and Monday, on their way to the grand meeting at Cambridge, as also the implements, &c. One caravan containing a yearling bull and heifer, was of such wide dimensions that, on arriving at Godmanchester toll bar, one of the gate-posts was actually obliged to be taken up ere it could pass on its way.--Cambridge Advertiser. It is stated, on pretty good authority, that there are no fewer than 1,500 houses untenanted in the borough of Bradford. This is a painful indication of the distress that still exists.—Halifax Express. BIGGLESWADE.—Richard Reed, coachman to the Rev. R. Lindsell, of Broom, terminated his existence by un unfblowingortunate man had r eturned from breakfast as us ual, and was getting a horse ready for his master, when t he g amekee p er came into the stable with his gun loaded; he put it down and went to feed a dog, when deceased took the gun into the yard and placed the muzzle in his mouth and discharged it ; he blew the upper part of his head to pieces, and scattered his brains in all directions. —Cambridge Advertiser. FOWLING IN SHETLAND.—WhiIe sitting at dinner in the cabin, we heard many interesting anecdotes of the dangers encountered by fowlers in scaling the rocks of Shet land and Feroe, where fatal accidents arc so frequent, that the people sometimes say to each other, " Your grandfather fell, your father fell, and you must follow too !" Others boast over their companions, saying, " Your father died in his bed, but mine went off like a man !" The governor mentioned that lately at Feroe a fowler descended safely by the usual convey ance of a rope; but when about to be drawn up again, owing to some awkward entanglement, he arrived at the surface with his feet upwards, Ills alarmed friends thought his head had been cut off, and felt so relieved to discover their mistake, that the whole party burst into a simultaneous peal of laughter, while the adventurer was very glad he had any face to put on the matter at all, and laughed heartily also. The upper part of these cliffs generally overhangs the base ; therefore the rockmen, when desirous to obtain a footing, are obliged to swing themselves many yards out in the air, that the re action may shoot them back in contact with the precipice, when they instantly cling to any little projection that offers, and, after landing on it, anchor the end of their rope to a stor,e, and proceed with a small hand-net, stretched on a hoop, to spoon the eggs out of their nests, deposiling them carefully in a sack which they carry behind, and when the un lucky bird sees her loss inevitable, by a curious instinct she often pushes out the egg to save herself. An enterprising fowler, standing on the projection, once, with a sheer preci pice both above and below him, of several hundred feet, ob served the end of his rope become suddenly disengaged from its moorings, and swing like a pendulum far into the distant space. if it escaped entirely away, he knew that death, either by a fall or by the slower and more dreadful process of starva tion, must become inevitable; therefore, perceiving that the rope, before it finally settled, would swing once more almost within his grasp, he earnestly watched the moment of its return, made a desperate spring forward in the air, clutched it in his hand, and was saved.—Miss Sinclair's Shetland. CURIOUS C I It CUMSTANCE.—During the morn ing of Wednesday a large flag-stone,weighing several stones, near the Post-office, New-road, Driffield, attracted attention bybeing observed to have risen about three inches from its bed, without any visible cause. On being lifted up by Mr. William Clark, bricklayer, to ascertain the cause, he discovered two large spe cies of fungi, or gross mushroom, growing under the flag. The mushrooms were two and a half inches hi g h, but much flattened with the pressure, weighed one pound and a-quarter, and the largest measured six inches in diameter. The power must have been very great to move the flag, since it was fastly bedded and wedged in between those adjoining. Similar circum stances have also lately occurred in other parts of the town, which may be attributed to the present very wet season. Hull Observer. LIBEL BY A CLERGYMAN.— A legal friend in forms us that there is at present a very interesting case in the court of Session. A Clergyman in the course of addressing his congregation, alluded to a published work, the author of which he denounced as "an infidel scoundrel." The author has brought an action of damages , and g reat interest is excited as to the law of the case—whether the clergyman's is a case of privilege.--Ayr Advertiser. SKELETON FouND.—Last week, under a large heap of stones that had lain in a field, near to King's Mea burn, Westmorland , time out of mind , the bones o a full grown man were found by a son of Mr. Ralph Bird, yeoman. They were deposited about 18 inches under the surface of the ground, and in a state of decomposition, though entire enough to ascertain that they were human. Twenty-two teeth were fcund, which suffered little from decay. The time and manner in which the bones have been deposited there will, in all pro bability, remain a mystery.— Cartisze Patriot. The struggle for power is now at an end for the Session, the most sanguine of the Tories seeing that the last move of the Duke of Wellington has made the formation of a Tory Government for the present impossible. ghat the Duke could have turned out the Ministry, by throwing out the Canada Bill, is pretty certain, but as by the ingenious step which gave him the command of the existence of the Government he had also disabled Isis own party, which could not form an Adminis tration divided on the Canada question, the only effect of break ing up the present Government would have been the restora tion of it, in default of any other, with increased strength. The Duke has very cleverly performed that feat which Lord Castle reagh described as turning one's back on one's self. The Liberal party is blessed with very accommodating enemies.— E.rominer. tragical event took place on Monday, in the AveAnuedoSt, Cloud, near the Barriers de l'Etoil. A plumber, who lived in a stree t in the Champs Elysees, and whose wife lard quitted him, having heard that she was at a house in the Avenue de St. Cloud, disguised as a servant, went thither, and not find ing her, supposed that he had been made the laughing-stock of his acquaintances.

MURDER IN WILTSHIRE. A man named James Taylor, was, on Saturday Light last committed, under the Coroner's warrant, to the New Prison, Devizes, charged with the wilful murder of his wife. The prisoner formerly kept a beer-shop at Studley, near Calne, but has latterly lived in the parish of Tockeo ham, about two miles from Wootton Bassett, and near the line cf the Great Western Railway. He was a pig -dealer; but, being of indolent habits, has principally relied fur a maintenance upon taking in, as lodgers, some of the . la bourers on tire railw a y. I n two little rooms o f hi s miser. able dwelling as many as ten of these men slept. His wife, to whom he was married between four and five years ago, vas a remarkably pretty woman ; and, at the time of their marriage, she was little more than 15 years of age, whilst he was 35. It appeared that she had for some time attracted the attention of one of the lodgers, known by the name of " Jack," and, on the evening of Monday se'rinight, this Jack prevailed upon her to go off with hint. Tire moment the prisoner heard of it, he aware he would never rest until he found them, and that when he did find them he would shoot them first, and afterwards shoot himself. He discovered them at Stratton, . near Swindon, and having hired " a trap" brought his wife back on the Thursday afternoon. His first impulse, he has since acknowledged, was to drown her on the road in the c ut at W ootton B assett; b ut f ear i ng that drowning would put h er to too much pa i n, h e fi xe d ly determined to shoot her on tire following morning, and then to shoot himself. In one case he has been but too successful ; in the other, his purpose has been defeated. Front all that can be learned not an angry word passed between them from the time he found her. They drank tea, supped, and slept together; and he is said to have looked upon her with affection, and to have promised that if she would not go away again he would never say a word about what had passed. On the Friday forenoon, after they had breakfasted, they went into the garden for some vegetables to prepare for the lodgers' dinners. After she had left a neighbour told the prisoner that the railway man with whom his wife had eloped was about the premises, and urged hint to look after her, which he pro mised to do. Upon returning to his house he loaded his gun, observing to his wife's younger sister that he was going to shoot "the man. " Hi s w if e was at t h e t i me sit ting on the chair, in a stooping position, cleaning some carrots, her child, a fine little boy about two years of age, playing by the side of her. After he had loaded the gun he went behind his wife, and deliberately discharged the whole of its contents into her back, exclaiming at the time " That's thy fault." The poor woman died in a moment— her sister coming from the pantry, on hearing the noise, to witness her one last gasp. He afterwards went to the drawer, and, taking out a knife, endeavoured to cut his throat; but he has since said he knew ha should not be able to accomplish his object in this way, for the moment he felt the pain he should give it up. The wound he in flicted upon himself was therefore very slight. He was immediately taken into custody. An inquest was held on the body on Saturday morning. The facts ab o ve narrated having been deposed to by Ann Gough, the mother of the deceased, it was thought unne he e a sea dressingrhyeat r o idd e mw a l sh l eal a tf n t y t ho ia r t e ynle w osr i s t . e n s e s is hi d e a s ,v , e, jns said, u t ,e h s e a , 7 rd o ay. r i o lfo n yr e o, r , u , ya a o d rue . e desirous of making any observation, or of asking them any questions, now is your time." E Upon this the prisoner very delibaately • said, 'Twas I that killed my wife, and no one else, and I am glad of it.: I could not kill myself because the gun bursted. I tried all I could to cut my t h roat, b ut t h e knife would not cut. I thought, two or three days before I found my wife, that I. would kilt my child also, because it should not come to any hurt, When I found 'my wife, however, it oddst' my mind not to do it. I then aimed to kill my wife, the man, and myself_ If I did not find my wife, I meant to have killed myself at Mr. Hathway's gate, just here," pointing to his stomach. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against James Taylor, and he Was soon afterwards committed to the New Prison, Devizes, for trial at the ensuing assizes. ROBBERY AND OUTRAGE ON A LADY. About noon, on Saturday last, a ladynesetendeidngl-iyiahrreirsv,oaans inhabitant of Elstree, who is of an ex temperament, the hi g h roa d, i n t h e vicinity her residence, walkingidenee ,f a ui l id ong herself sudd en l y i n th e ii e ty n o l f en h t, e wi midst of a horde of Irish labourers (about thirty or forty), who were on the tramp, who importuned her for alms, which she declined giving them, having only half a sovereign in her purse. Having with difficulty freed her self from them, and proceeded a short distance along the road, she, from the excitement she laboured under from the importunity of the beggars, swooned away, in which state she was found by a tradesman in the neighbourhood, who was driving that way in his cart, who instantly jumped out to her assistance, and, on her reviving, offered his services to see her to her residence. Mrs. Herds, however, unfortunately declined his offer, saying she felt better, and should be able to reach home without assistance. She then proceeded on her way, but the individual before mentioned suddenly missing her from the road returned to look after her, when, not being able to find her, he went to the house of a gentleman named Carter, near the spot, and informed the servants of the state in which he had found Mrs. Harris, and of his having suddenly lost sight of her, requesting them to see after her. One of the servants accordingly went in search of at her, the side when, i hearing o ttroad, heobserved, her screams, he a into short pl d a r, \ s a : don lance, the unfortunate lady on the ground, and a ruffian standing over her. On seeing the servant approaching the fellow ran away and effected his escape. On reaching Mrs. Harris she was found to be in a :tate of insensibility ; and assistance being procured, she was carried to the house of Mr. Carter, and from there in her own carriage to the re sidence of her husband, where she received every medical attention her distressing state demanded ; but during the night and on Sunday and Monday she laboured under con tinued fits of fainting and hysterics. All that could be elicited from her during the intervals of composure was that, while passing along the road, she was accosted by her assailant, who stopped her and threw her down , that she offered him her purse, containing the half-sovereign before mentioned, which he rsbbed her off; and, falling into a swoon, what further occurrei she bad no recollection of. Information of the diabolical outrage having been commu nicated to Mr. Phillimore, with a description of the fellow, instructions were given to the police of the S division. In the course of Sunday they ascertained that a dissolute cha racter, named John Beaumont, had, on Saturday night, been seen with a purse in his possession answering the des cription of that stolen from Mrs. Harris, and in the course the same night they succeeded in lodging him in safe custody. On Monday the prisoner, who is about 27 or 29 years of age, was conveyed for examination before Mr. Phillimore and Major Abbs, when he was identified by Mr. Carter's servant as the individual assaulting Mrs. Harris at the moment she was discovered. Mrs. Harris was in too dan gerous a state to be present, and on its being deposed be fore the bench that only questioning her upon the subject threw her instantly into hysterics, and that it was the opi nion of the medical gentleman in attendance upon her that in her excessive nervous and delicate state being confronted with her assailant would be fraught with imminent danger, the Magistrates said, in the ab4ence of Mrs. Harris's tes timony and evidence es to what had become of the purse And half sovereign, the capital charge must fall to the ground. They should not, however, let so vile a ruffian get loose without some punishment, but should fine him in the full penalty of 51, for the common assault upon Mrs. Harris, and, in default of payment, commit him to hard labour in the ficuse of Correction for two months. Ile was committed accordingly, SPORTING IN TEL LIGENCE. The Croxteth Stak es o f 15 sovs. each, 10 ft, with 30 add e d three yrs old, 63t 81b ; four Bst 21b; five, Bst gib; six a nt .

SlR,—The object of my last letter was to place the account between the Bank of England and the public on a right footing, by showing that the circulation of the Bank amounted to no more than 16,871,0001, and the Government being indebted to the Bank in the sum of 14,686,800/., there remained only 2,184,2001. due from the Bank to the public, which one-half of its present amount of specie would be more than sufficient to p❑y. I shall now proceed to demonstrate that this is all the public have a right, under any circumstances, to demand of the Bank. The return to cash payments was not the act of the Bank of England, but that of the Legislature, who con sidered it a necessary measure to cure some of the evils of an unconvertible paper currency, and the Bank of England, in common with every other bank, was bound to conform to it ; but whether it was a measure founded in a full and complete knowledge or in absolute ignorance of the actual circumstances and wants of this great com mercial community, the entire responsibility of that act devolves on the Legislature, and can in no respect be shared by the Bank of England. What the nature and magnitude of those evils were we may learn from the evidence of G. C. Glyn, Esq., in the Report of the Bank Committee in 1832, who after nearly one hundred of the town and country banks had suspended payment in 1825, in 1826, says, that funded property on one day was not saleable for bank notes, and that bankers borrowed money at the rate of 72 per cent. How far the object of the legis lature has been attained in preventing the frequent re currence of such enormous evils, and whether the Bank of England has wielded the additional power which this act conferred upon it for the advantage or the detri ment of the public good, are questions which I shall endeavour, in the course of this inquiry, to probe to the bottom, but I cannot admit the conclusion, that bank ing and the issue of notes is mere private business, with which the Government has no more concern than with weaving or spinning, for, whether these branches of our manufactures are conducted on principles correct or false, affects but a very small portion of the whole com munity, whereas money may be compared to the vital fluid of the human system, which circulating through millions of small and almost imperceptible channels, supports and sustains the entire fabric. It is therefore one of the first duties of good government to see that no false or vicious principle shall unduly influence its circulation, .and the legislature adopting this view instead of leaving the issue of paper to individual prudence, has continually interfered to correct and control it ; thus it decreed a return to cash payments, and thus, I contend, until the Government has repaid the 14,686,800/. which it owes to theßank, devolves the duty of providing tke gold to represent that amount, should the public, under any sircunistances whatever, insist on having it, The Bank of England in 1826 vet) , honourably came to the resolution of paying away their last sove reign before they:made application to the Government, and we all , know well enough how the Government would have met, or will meet; such a contingency whenever it may occur, by an Order in Council making Bank notes a legal tender, which would be tantamount to telling the people that in reality the Bank of Eng land notes in their possession or in circulation among, them are not their own property, but - notes borrowed by the GoVernment; or the aank . Of•EnglariVor use, and must continue to be used as a representative of value, because nothing better or half so well secured could be either obtained or used with the same ad vantages. Such is the exact state of the matter so far as regards the issues of the Bank of England and the public, but in order that it may be fully understood what is the nature and extent of the security of the Bank of England altogether independent of the Governwent. 1 will now state the whole account as betweeen the Bank of England and the public as debtor and creditor : COURT OF CHANCERY. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SIR--I have perused with some astonishment in the Morning Papers of this day, the remarks purported to have been made by Sir E. Sugdcn in the House of Commons last night, relative to the passing of the Bill entitled " An • Act for the better Administration of Jus tice." The Hon. and Learned Member seems to inti mate the necessity of deferring the consideration of the measure on account of the absence of certain Members who happen to be upon the Circuit. Now, as men of all parties seem to be agreed upon the necessity of some speedy alteration of the present system adopted in the Court of Chancery, and such necessity having been for so long a period manifest, I do trust no ob• stacle will be thrown in the way of its passage through the Lower House. The Hon. Member for Ripon being one of that party who profess to respect the delibera tions and judgment of the House of Lords will, I trust, upon this occasion act consistently, and not be the means of adding to the amount of unprofitable time already spent in the present Parliament, and still less be the cause of continuing the procrastination, and its consequences, which must arise whilst the present te dious and expensive system is permitted ; and f must beg to remind the Hon. and Learned Gentleman that the measure now, I believe, about to receive the sanc tion of the Upper House of Parliament, has had the full benefit of the Noble and Learned Lords' delibera tions who are Members of that House, and inpst,of whom I presume, must be acquainted with the present working of the law. I cannot conclude without press ing upon the consideration of those Members of the House of Commons who remain in town, the importance of this subject, and that the Session will not be allowed to close without the measure being carried into a law ; and which, if it only mitigates the evil at present exist ing, is certainly worthy of support, and cannot but be appreciated by those who are victims, unfortunately, of delayed and ruinous proceedings. I am, Sir, Your oblized and obedient servant, July 15, 1840. J. SMITH. A CHURCH DESERTED. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Sunday last, the few inhabitants who attend the parish church of Watford, were much astonished in not finding the Vicar, or any other competent person, pre sent to perform Divine service at the proper time in the afternoon of that day. Throngla the very kind assist ance of Mr. Henry Wylde, the organist, he endea voured to keep the congregation together for three quarters of an hour, by playing several pieces of music from Handel, &e. ; when, in the mean time, messengers were sent into the hi A hways and byeways, to meet with one of the elect, when, at ten minues to four o'clock, the few who remained were much delighted in hearing the Prayers read in a very impressive manner, by the Rev. Mr. Caney, the domestic chaplain to the Earl of Esgex ; but-of course no sermon was given, the keterend Gentleman not being prepared with one at so short a notice. Is it not a disgrace that an extensive parish like Watford, having a population between five and six thouiand inhabitants, should not have an -efficient curate, that they might receive spiritual consolation `from his , handsyinstead of being obliged to go to a Dis senting chapel ? Dissent has so much increased of late in the above parish, that we understand two very large chapels have been recently erected by the inhabitants, much to their credit, by private subscription. [An event of this kind may be caused occasionally by accident. At all events, we cannot blame the Vicar until we know the cause of his absence.] SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.) (From the Morning Chronicle.) It is all very well now, when the delusion can be kept up no longer, to turn round on the National Society, and lecture it on its " gross and mischievous misrepresenta tions." These "gross and mischievous misrepresenta tions" were all so many gospel truths as long as there was a chance of gaining anything by them. To take a specific instance. Six morel's ago Sir Thomas Wylde was appointed Solicitor-General, and vacated his seat for Newark. To prevent his re-election was an object of vital importance for the Tories. Accordingly Mr. Thesiger was sent down by the Carlton Club, with in structions to strain every nerve to obtain the scat. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman, recollecting what a trump card this education question had proved for his party six months before, bethinks himself, when he finds the contest running close, of resorting to the old clamour against unscriptural education. He makes an address to the electors upon the subject, in which he repeats, n ord for word, the very charges for which the correspondent of the Times can now find no fitter terms than " gross, mischievous, and ridiculous." Nay, more, not content with repeating the fictions of the National Society, he adds, on his own authority, the still more gross assertion, that the real object of the Ministerial scheme was to prevent parents from educating their chil dren in their own religious belief. NAv we ask the people of England whether this is ?—whether it is right and proper that a question of the great, the overwhelming im portance of national education, should be prostituted in this open, undisguised, unblushing manner, to the purposes of faction ? Above all, we appeal to the religious public —to that portion of the community who, taking but little interest in the common political questions of the day, are comparatively liable to be led away by col fi lent assertion and plausible pretence—and we say to them, look and exa mine for yourselves; do not take the matter on our state ment or authority, but look yourselves, and see whether the Tories have or have not abused this question of na tional education for party purposes. ( From the Timis. ) Tho Bill for accelerating (as is feared by the wisest Statesmen amongst us) the separation of the Canadas from the mother country has passed the House of Lords, without any changes in its structure likely to endanger its second passage through the House of Commons, and final exit from that assembly in the shape of an Act of Parlia ment. Our opinion has never varied for a moment re specting the boldness and doubtfulness of the undertaking, on whatever grounds of seeming convenience or expe diency it may have been originally recommended. It ought not to be lost sight of, that the chief argument now resorted to as an apology for the creation of this united legislature is—first, the proved and practical difficulty of governing Lower Canada through a separate blouse of Assembly : second, the theoretic anomaly of govcrning a British province, ',hough peopled by irreconcileable enemies to Great Britain. without any representation at all: We admit in the fullest manner the first proposition, and agree with the Queen's Ministers, that any further resort to a Pa pineau-ridden Parliament would be a measure which none could suggest but a Cabinet of downright maniacs. To the second branch of the argument, however, we yield no such acquiescence. (From the Morning Herald.) The pretence of wishing to increase the power of the Bishops and the Church, by crushing the National Society comes well from those who have no other centre of union than their hatred of all ecclesiastical establishments. They arc waling, forsooth, that the schools of the church should be placed under the authority of each dioeesan, but not under any union of all the metropolitans and diocesans throughout the kingdom. They would have the church and its schools split into as many subdivisions as there are dioceses in England and Wales. There should be schools secundum usum Sarum, secundum tam Ebor, Lambeth, &c. And when they have thus broken down the entire unity and consistency of the system, they could easily take its management into their own keeping, or dispense with it altogether as a public nuisance. Now this is exactly the game which the Privy Council Committee have been at tempting to play off against tkc Church awl the National Society. They have been endeavouring to sow strife, ealou sies, and divisions, between the bishops and the conductors of National Schools. In other words, they have been en deavouring to divide the bishops from each other, by pre vailing on them to separate their respective schools from any terms of union with the Notional Society—that is, any terms of union with each other and their one common centre. What arc the terms of union with the National Society and its schools? That the Liturgy and the Church Catechism shall be taught, and that wherever it iir> practi ble the children shall be brought to church on the Sabbath day. We wish to know whether any form of union could be more wide or comprehensive, if any union is to be kept up amongst the schools of the Church of England? It is for the admirable effects which have already followed from keeping to these terms that the Society is now marked out for ruin and destruction by the Privy Council Committee of Education. (From the Morning Post.) We gave on Tuesday from the Globe two paragraphs relating to ecclesiastical prefetreents. One of them was to the effect that the Rev. H. Vane, who has something to do with Lord Holland, had been appointed Dean of Durham. The Chronicle declares that this announce ment is premature, and seems to consider is a mistake. The other paragraph stated a report that the Rev. Connop Thirlwall was to be the new Bishop cf St. David's. From what we have heard, we apprehend that this second statement is es little accurate as the first. We hear it said among those who ought , to know some thing of the matter, that Mr. I hirlwallis to hav e the deanery, and not the bishopric. The dear:cry of Durham is an important and valuable preferment, and if it be bestowed o n the Rev. Connop Thirlwall, a very learned man will have it. He is the author of a " History of Greece," and of a translation of introductory essay, not slightly tinged w ith the rationalism of the German com mentator. It is also reported that the Bishopric of St. David's has bean offered to Mr. Williams, the Archdeacon of Cardigan, well known as one of the profoundest scholars and divines of the present tame, Bu t , a s th e A rc hd eacon is of Conservative politics, we are i nc li ne d to rece i ve t hi s last rumour with extreme suspicion. It is, however, cer tain that a strong feeling in favour of Welsh Bisho,is pre vails throughout the principality, and th e re ca n 'be no doubt that Wales has several native clergymen not un worthy of the bench.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazette.) PonTsmourtr, JULY 15.—Her Majesty's ship Pique, 36, Captain E. Boxer, arrived from the Downs en Sunday, and remains at Spithead waiting oidcrs, being k:ept ready for immediate service. ..... The new brig Cygnet, 10, intended for the packet ser vice, is commissioned at Woolwich by Lieut. Edmund Wilson. The Cambridge, 78, Captain Barnard, will leave Spit bead about Saturday next for Lisbon, Genoa, and Malta, taking out the Hon. R. Abercromby (appointed Minister at Turin), his lady, and a large suite; also marines and boys for the squadron, and a great quantity of naval stores. The following ships and vessels are waiting orders to hoist the pendant, namely, at this port, Madagascar 44, Bittern 16, and Tweed 20 ; at Plymouth, Champion 18, and Ferret 10 ; at Chatham, Scout 18, and Pelican 18. Letters from the Stag frjgate, at Rio Janeiro, report that the Curucaa 24, Wizard 10,,and Grecian 1 6,have sent in six slave vessels for condemnation.

The Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant Beaufoy, has sailed on her return to the Cape and West African station, taking out supernumeraries and despatches. A Court Martial has been held in the Mediterranean, on Mr. Roberts, purser of the Tyne, 26, on charges of disrespect and disobedience to the senior Lieutenant, for which he was severely admonished. The cutter Seaflower, Lieut. Robilßard, will return to the station at Jersey in a day or two, for the protection of the oyster fishery. The Vanguard, 84, Captain Sir David Dunn, is nearly ready for departure, with the exception of compleling her crew. It is expected that she will sail about the Ist Au gust, for Lisbon and the NlLditerranean. The supplementary rstimate for the increase of the naval sea pay, being laid before the Commons, orders are daily .• looked for to carry it into execution. The brig Pantaloon, 10, Lieutenant Tryon, is cruising off the Sussex coast, occasionally returning into port to re victual, &c. At Spithcad— Cambridge, 78, and Pique, 36.

OPENING OF THE GLASGOW AND PAISLIZY JOINT RAILWAY.—Today the Directors of the Glasgow and Paisley, Ayr and Kilmarnock, and Greenock Railway Joint Companies, accompanied by a numerous party of ladies and gentlemen, went in a train of nineteen carriages propelled by two locomotives, the Hawk and Zamiel, from Glasgow to Pais ley, and back again, for the purpose of making a formal open ing of the joint line to Paisley. The train started precisely at six minutes past one o'clock from the Glasgow station, and, although not the least attempt was made to make a quick trip, the distance to Paisley was easily accomplished in nineteen minutes.— Glasgow Clironiele. Of all the instances we have heard of persons attaining wealth by lucky accidents, none equal the follow ing :—A poor aged woman, who had long earned her livelihood by knitting, one day coining to the end of her worsted ball or close, found it to be wound on a piece of old newspaper, which she had the curiosity to read; when, to her astonishment and delight, she discovered it to contain an advertisement respect ing herself, as the heiress of a large property, which, had she been unable to read, she might never have possessed.—Liver pool Paper. A RUNAWAY RAILWAY ENGINE.-011 Sa turday last, through the negligence of the engineer, an engine left under the care of a boy at Masborough, escaped from the station there, making the best of its way, at the rate of about a mile per minute, to Sheffield. 'The boy leaped off when lie saw the engine moving. Considerable damage was done at Sheffield through the violence of the impetus with which the engine rushed upon the station and buildings, and notwith standing every attempt to stop its progress, the damage will not be repaired for much less than' •2tiol. The darsaage would have been greater had not an old man thrown something upon the rails, and upset the engine. ARISTOCRATIC OUTRAGE AT HOUNSLOW. —At an early hour on the morning of Monday last, or rather at a late hour on the night of Sunday, the town of Hounslow was frightened from its propriety by the freaks of a party of " fashionables" who had passed through the town in a " splen did four-in-hand" in the course of the afternoon of the pre vious day. It appears that, on their return, these "scions of noble houses," drew up at the outside of the George Inn, and, whilst their horses were being refreshed, alighted from their vehicle, and amused themselves by breaking, with stones, the windows of the neighbouring houses. They then commenced pulling down the poles in front of the barbers' shops near at hand, and wrenching the knockers off the doors, and that be longing to the door of Mr. Friburg, a respectable baker in the town ; they threw, with great violence, through a window of the house, and it fell on the pillow of Mrs. Friburg, close to her head! Mr. Friburg instantly jumped out of bed, and, raising he window, called for the police, when the whole party mounted their "drag," and drove off at full gallop towards town, before the police could muster in sufficient numbers to prevent their departure. BLOw-UP OF A ROCKET MANUFACTORY. —The rocket manufactory of the artillery department at Gre noble, was blown up a few days ago. It is supposed that the accident was occasioned by the rays of the sun coming through a window, and after being concentrated to a focus, igniting one of the fireworks making for the fetes of July. We give the following as a specimen of the nonsense in which even a grave German journal will sometimes indulge. It is from tl.e Journal de Francfort:—" A few days ago Lord Granville, it is said, presented M. Thiers with a magnificent service of gilt plate, valued et 53,000 francs.

Since the addi tional trains have been put on, a proportionate increase of pas sengers has taken place, more especially since all the coaches which used to journey between Cheltenham and Birmingham are taken off the road, save one which still remains, a solitary memorial of days gone by. We rejoice to hear that the regu lations adopted for the convenience of passengers are so highly approved of and so well arranged as to preclude any , chance of delay in the arrival or departure of the trains. —Cheltenham Examiner.

And now, having disposed of the Bank's liability to pay in gold more than the difference between the debt due from the Government and the amount of its issues ; and having ascertained its security, independent of the Government to an extent never before equalled in an cient or modern history, 1 propose in my next to in quire how it is that our circulating medium is subject to such sudden and extensive fluctuations, who are the authors, what the causes, and what the remedy for such a state of things, feeling well assured that the capital and resources of this great country, if rightly directed, arc sufficient to sustain, not only the trade of Great Brit Lin, but the commerce of the universe.

And although the figures since then have undergone many changes, I apprehend that when the present Committee have con cluded their labours the result, as regards the Bank of England, will be found to be nearly the same. _ THE BRITISH MUSEUM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. can but observe with pain and indignation that every attempt to soften the rigours of a mechanic or labourer's life is abortioned by our people-hating Aristocracy. I observed, also, that every one of those who voted against Mr. Ilume's motion were, in every sense of the word, Aristocrats. Now, Sir, you will pardon me if I say we ought to have a set-off against this pitiful jealousy, and, perhaps, the following may give rise to something better : TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " We, your most Gracious Majesty's most loyal and devoted subjects and servants, humbly approach your Majesty, " Showing, " That while the unproductive classes are in the enjoyment of every lutu:y that this nation affords, the productive part of your Majesty's empire is debarred by the powerful, because rich, part of your Majesty's subjects, from participating in any rational recreation, debarring them without any good ground. other than a misstated pious feeling. The Aristocratic portion of your Majesty's subjects state that if the British Mu seum, National Gallery, and other public and national buildings, were opened of a Sabbath day, that day would ho desecrated by parties being employed,:thereby Leaking the holiness and sanctity of that day. " We, your Majesty's most faithful and working subjects, therefore humbly pray that you will prevent the awful desecration of the Sabbath by allowing those public-houses, such as the Carlton Club, and others of it worse description, where your petitioners are in formed that workmen are employed all the Sabbath through, and early on the Sabbath morning, namely, at oee o'clock and later, gambling has been known, and divers other misdemeanours carried on and done at the aforesaid public-houses, hotel; or clubs ; " We humbly pray your Majesty will, therefore, express your disapprobation of the awful desecration of the Sabbath by the rich, and not deny those innocent pleasures of looking at a stuffed bear to the poorer portion, trusting your Majesty will not see the cast in one person's eye and not the mote in the other. " We shall, as in duty bound, for your Majesty's welfare ever pray." I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, G. S.

Hills-road. By ten o'clock there was neither horse nor apy inach'ne on two wheels haft in the town. The roads leading to the different places where the trials - were to take place, presented a most attractive sight. At a little 'past ten the trial of agricultural implements cem menccd. Near the field where this was going on thresh ing and dressing machines, &a. were at work ; and at a little distance in a large field (also the property of Mr. Grain) a most interesting spectacle presented itself in the ploughing match. Fifty ploughs started, and as the ob ject was. not to reach the goal soonest, but to reach it by the shortest and most even line, the individual interest ex cited by, each, competitor was maiataincd throughout. The multitude of people on this spot was very large, and the number of horsemen galloping to and fro, the carriages filled nithiadies and gentlemen, and the cheerful influence of an unusually fine day, created a scene which we have seldom seen surpassed. The read from this point to Babraliam, a village about seven milks from Cambridge, resembled the route from London to Epsom on a race day, and on arriving at the above-mentioned village, a sight of unusual interest pre sented itself.. The yard of the village inn was crowded with carriages, and the, crowds of visitors were hastening to the field where Mr.' Jonas Webb, of Babraham, was exhibiting his splendid show of tups. Thee animals were of the finest description, and their extraordinary siz.2 and beauty elicited continued marks of.surprise and admiration from the numerous beholders, amqngst whom were agri cultural noblemen, gentlemen, ard. yeomen from all parts of the country. Nlr. Webb had proiided a large pant lion in an adjoining close, where a magnificent cold eolla tion was set our, and to which, with unlimited hospitality, Mr. Webb invited his numerous Visitors to repair. This formed the last of the several points- of excitement snitch extended along the road from Cambridge, and truly we have never witnessed a scene which, in novelty and in terest, surpassed those which presented theAsselsea Abe whole of the way. Booths for the supply of reheat meets were erected round the various places of attractioh, and a spirit of good humour and happiness pervaded all classes. THE DINNER IN THE HALL OF TRINITY COLLEGE. Soon after five o'clock upwards of four hundred Noble men and Gentlemen sat down to a dinner provided in the magnificent dining hall of Trinity College, which had been kindly offered to the Council of the Ito3al Agricultural Society by the Master and Kllows of Trinity.

A vacancy having occurred in the diocese of St. David's by the demise of Dr. Jenkinson, the late Bishop, the natives of Wales are stirring both in the principality and elsewhere with the view of urging on her Maj,sty's Go vernment the necessity of elevating to the vacant see a clergyman fully conversant with the Welsh language, and not unacquainted with the predilections and hat its of the natives. With the exception of a small past of Pembroke shire, the diocese of St. David's extends over a great et tent of ccatatry in which the Welsh language is vernacu lar, and most of the livings in it are in the gift of the Bishop. It is therefore a matter of the highest import ance, both to the church and to the 'inhabitants, that an efficient Bishop be appointed. A public meeting of the Welsh residents in London was held on Tuesday last, at which it was agreed to petition the Queen on the subject ; and we have been informed that a deputation from Liver. pool has arrived in tows fur the purpose of conveying to Lord Melbourne the strong feeling which exists among the numerous and influential body. of Welshmen reviling in that town, whose friends and connexions in Wa'ci must be deeply interested in the issue of the appointment. It has been the custom for the last 130 years t• sacrifice the spiritual interests of the principality•to political parti sanship, and to free upon the Welsh people an English supporter of the existing Ministry, utterly regardless of the injustice thereby inflicted on the national religion. We, trust, however, that some deference will at length be paid to the feelings of the loyal inhabitants of Wales, , and that her Majesty will ba adviaed to wipe off this stigma from the history of the Welsh church. In ju,tification of the line of conduct hitherto pursued, it has 'eeen latterly in sinuated that Wales has no native clergy qualified to fill the episcopal office. In refutation of this unfounded charge, we subjoin a list of reverend gentlemen, who, among others, in point of piety. learning, and moral worth, are eminently qualified far the office of a bishop.

The plaintiff; are the proprietors of the establishment in Waterloo-place which is known as the celebrated warehouse of Howell and James ; and the action was brought to recover compensation in damages for the injury which the plaintiffs had sustained in conse quence of a paragraph which had appeared in the Herald, and which imputed to the plaintiff; a want of commercial stability and credit and a deficiency of personal integrity. Mr. BUTT having opened the pleadings, Mr. TIIRSIGER was proceeding to state the case upon the part of the plaintiffs, when Sir F. Pou.ocK (with whom wail Mr. SYDNEY TAYLOR) interposed upon the part of the defendants, and offered to make an y . r eparation In their power for the injury which they bad involuntarily done to the plaintiffs, upon whose commercial respectability the Learned Council pro nouuCed a warm panegyric. The apology was received by Mr. Thee ger as perfectly satisfactory, and by the consent of all parties a verdict was returned for the plaintiffs for 403., Clat being the smallest sum which would entitle the plaintiff to damages under the late act of Lord Denman which has just come into operation.
