In referring to the late election, he admitted that electoral corruption could be charged against both Liberals and Tories, but the Govern ment had used their exclusive priviliges in a manner unusually improper. The late measure of Reform was not generally approved of by the Tories, and the promise that a comprehensive new Reform bill would be introduced by the Derby Government could not be believed in by the Liberals. He pro ceeded to stigmatise the present ministry with their proceedings respecting the Roman Catholics. They had, heretofore, always opposed them, but as soon as they g il l into office, to gain a few votes, they promised them uesvorts of immunities. The foreign policy of the ment came in for much censure, and Lord Derby'se O r r,insinuating that Louis Napoleon had designs ngland, was . combated with much eloquence and earnestness.. Mr. Lindsay followed. He felt bound to vote out, t ha t the amendment to the address, pointing Conservative govern ment need not fail i n ; a t a . 0 pass ing a reform measure. During their term of Jewish Emancipation, periods, Catholic Emancipation, the Corn Laws, had been carried out, so there was come, be found no reason . to suppose that they wanting when the proper time foreign policy of Lord Derby, he had much, As to the at least, to preserve peace as Lord Palmerston,°las Sydney Herbert accused the ministry of abandoningl* their principles. " Carrying on business as general dealers —keeping a shop for the supply of any article demanded," and, therefore, he could not give a v , of confidence to them. Mr. Digby Seymour would vote for the amendment, but Captain.Vepon wa s :,,, favour of the ministry. Mr. G. C. Lewis said that, the amendment - to the address had been forced upon the Opposition by the conduct of the Government. Sir John Packington, at some length, vindicated the government, and said that,•no case had been made out against them. A number of the members having spoken, a Division was taken when there appeared : FOR THE AMENDMENT AGAINST IT MAJORITY AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT 13 The House then adjourned. The War news this morning is meagre in the ex treme. Despatches continue to be received describ ing the unabated successes of the allies, but we cannot place implicit reliance in all that we receive via Paris. A body of Austrians left Levano on Wednesday night, leaving their provisions behind them, and spiking their guns. They entered the Swiss territory on Thursday. The Paris correspon dent of the Times says, another advantage was gained on Wednesday, by th e F renc h . Th e Emperor having learned that the Austrians were entrenching themselves at Marigan, about ten miles from Milan, ordered Marshal Boraguey de Hilliers to disperse I them, which he did. The affair was brief, but brilliant 1,200 Austrians were taken prisoners. The French loss was small. The Emperor, it is said, avoids all state at Milan. He is not lodged in the Palice, but at a private villa outside the city. Marshal Canrobert was not wounded at all at Magenta. A Turin letter says, that a Hungarian legion to revolutionise Hungary is organising. The Emperor of Austria has issued a proclamation to the Tyrolese, summoning them to arms, to show to posterity their fidelity, their bravery, their piety and religious enthusiasm ; calling upon them to defend the most righteous cause for which sword was ever drawn ; to form themselves into volunteer corps riflemen, and telling them it is to them he con fides the task of defending the frontiers of his dear country of the Tyrol against the enemy. A de spatch from Vienna, dated Monday evening, says that General Gyulai has been dismissed and Field-Marshal Hess appointed Commander-in-Chief. The defeat of the Austrians at Magenta is said to have produced an. immense sensation in Germany. The King of Sardinia had addressed a letter to the Colonel of the 3rd Zouaves, complimenting him upon the man ner in which they captured the batteries at Palestro. The Moniteur publishes the following details of the bulletin of the passage of the Ticino : —" The concentration of our troops on the Po, deceived the enemy into the belief that we intended to cross that river. On the morning of the 4th, 125,000 of the enemy's troops. were in position opposite the Em peror, and the grenadier division of the Imperial Guard was obliged to fight this disproportionate force. All our generals displayed great energy. The French General Winpfen was wounded in the head. The commanders of the grenadiers of the Guards, Desme and Maudhuit were killed. The Zouaves lost 200, and the Grenadiers the same number. The bulletin then proceeds to describe the operations of Marshal M'Mahon, who had to sustain a fierce conflict, in which he lost 1,500 men, but put 10,000 Austrians hors de combat, and made 5,000 of them prisoners. The Austrians had on their side four corps d'armee." The bulletin concludes with the following- summary:—" Five days after our departure from Alessandria our army has been engaged in three combats, gained one battle, and freed Piedmont from the Austrians, who, since the conflict of Monte bello, have lost 25,000 killed and wounded, 10,000 prisoners, and seventeen pieces of cannon; besides which we have picked up on the battle field 30,000 Austrian knapsacks." The French papers and. people all speak of the great abilities of Napoleon as a tactician, but the following remark on his great doings at Magenta, made by aLondon paper, in the cause of the Italians, contained something very truthful, if not complimentary, to the " Second of December," as the Austrians call Napoleon. the Third : —" This Italian war, we must repeat, has begun badly for the Austrians, but not well for the French, who can afford to win few such victories as that of Magenta. In generalship, and in military attributes, they have proved their superiority ; but they lose man for man in actual fighting, and have, twice or thrice since the campaign began, exposed an entire column to the chance of irretrievable overthrow. This, of course, suggests a comparison between the battles of the First and Second Empires. Napoleon the Great, as we know, could boast of - only an accidental triumph at Austerlitz, where his troops exhibited far less splendour of courage than their foes. At Marengo, notwith standing a clap-trap saying attributed to Napoleon, its glory belonged virtually to the Austrians, al though, unlike Marengo, that field was won by the Imperial Commander himself rather than by a subordinate such as Dessaix, whose genius and gallantry turned. the fortune of a most critical hour. At three o'clock on the afternoon of the battle the French regarded their cause as lost. Dessaix had not come up, and the question was, would he arrive in time? On this circum stance,' writes M. Thiers, depended the issue of the battle.' Napoleon's aide-de-camp had. been galloping all day in search of the absent General. Dessaix, however, warned by the sound of cannon, was in full march for Marengo. He reached it ; he rode up to the First Consul ; he declared, Yes, one battle is lost, but there is time enough to gain another.' It was he, and he alone, who won that incomparable day. General M'Mahon is our contemporary Dessaix. He saved the French army at Magenta. Had he not arrived in time Louis Napoleon must have been a fugitive, and might have been a prisoner, if, indeed—which is doubtful—he exposed himself to any dangers at all. Massena and Kellerman, with Dessaix's aid, won Marengo ; M'Mahon triumphed at Magenta, though the fight seemed to incline for hours towards a total defeat of the allied armies." The Bank Returns as published in last night's Gazette show an increase of 51,8901 in Active Circula tion, 193,2911 in Bullion, 5,308 in Rest and 129,1:55 in the Reserve of Notes. Apply to ENGLAND AND THE WAR THE debate in Parliament on the Address, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, has at least brought out some most satisfactory and seasonable expositions of England's duty and England's interest with respect to the war. Nothing, indeed, could be better than the way in which the subject was handled by our own county member, in his excellent maiden speech in the House of Commons, as the mover of the Address. " Our duty," said Mr. EGERTON, " is very plain. We have no interest in this struggle. We have nothing to do but to look on ; and I trust, whatever colse may occur, nothing will take place to cause us to be mixed up with the struggle in any way whatever. If it is true that in this war between France and Austria, as Austria is backed by the whole public opinion of Central Germany, we cannot tell what may be the result. It is im possible for any person to foresee the conclusion of the present struggle. And, therefore, in my opinion, the Ministers have taken the right course in strengthening, by every means in their power, the defences of the country ; and they will be backed up in the course they have taken by public support." Here, then, we have an epitome of the policy which Ministers have adopted, and which has met the approval of the great body of their countrymen. Neutrality—having no interest in the struggle, having nothing to do with it —except, indeed, every one in his own conscience, to condemn it. At the same time, it is impossible to say what may yet arise out of it, with which we may have to do. If Germany, for instance, should be induced to inter fere, who can tell what may occur to affect England's security, and E ng l an d' s i n t eres t ? G erman y' s inter position would probably bring out Russia, or, at any rate, Russian influences. The whole of Europe may thus be set in a blaze. Well and truly, therefore, was it declared, that Ministers had taken the right THE NORTHERN TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1859 course, in strengthening, by every means in their power, the defences of the country." This policy of neutrality was prepared for, by the strenuous efforts of Ministers to prevent the war. "We have endeavoured," said the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, "in eVery possible manner to preserve peace, and I shall be happy and ready, when the papers are in the hands of hon. Members, thoroughly to vindicate the conduct of the Govern ment in that respect. Indeed, I challenge inquiry, and all that I ask is that the House should not decide on a question so momentous in the absence of the documents, for it would be absolutely impossible for the House to arrive), at a satisfactory decision." These are the papers that were referred to in Her MAJESTY'S Speech, and which will enable, we believe, both Parliament and the country to understand, that it has not been from any want of mediation, or admo nition, or remonstrance, on the part of the English Government, that the war has taken place. And yet has it been imputed as a great fault, that Ministers did not, after all, prevent it. But, as the House was reminded, " it is only four years ago that a war took place, not between two of our Allies, but between this country and the great military power of Russia. Were there no negocia tions entered into in' order' to prevent that war? Was not the stake infinitely greater, and the respon- blility proportionately increased, when our own nation was engaged, and it was upon our own conduct that the important question of peace or war was based ?" Yes —there was all that to enhance the interest and the importance of the war with Russia. We were direct parties to its unfortunate occurrence, and we were actively engaged in its sanguinary struggles. It cost this country an im mense sacrifice of blood and treasure, and one which will continue to be painfully felt for a long time yet to come. And that war, let it not be forgotten, was brought about by the conduct of the very men who can now taunt the Derby Ministry with having failed to prevent, not England, but France and Austria, going to war ! They were then in power, and had it all very much in their own hands. And they were an able, as they were a powerful Ministry, —numbering as they did, such experienced states men as Lords ABERDEEN, PALMERSTON, CLAREN DON, and RUSSELL. Well was it asked of them, in the debate, " What did you do ? What . did the noble Lord the Member for Tiverton, my Lord ABERDEEN, my Lord CLARENDON do, with respect to the negociations, to prevent war between England and Russia ? Why, the shame of those negociations is not yet forgotten ; the state papers of the Vienna conference are not yet blotted out of the conscious ness of the people of England. You had great advantages, and signally failed ; you had a majority in Parliament, you had a wise and experienced statesman, you had a still greater stake to prick you to exertion and to increase your responsibility ; yet you were utterly discomfited in your negociations !" A more triumphant answer, to such a taunt, from such a quarter, it would be impossible to furnish. Lord DERBY himself, in the Upper House, was , equally forcible and decisive in his expositions of the' duty and the interest of England in this war. " I have always contended," he observed, " that if it were a question of the Italian or any other nation seeking to emancipate itself from a galling yoke, and to establish a Government more resembling the insti tutions with which we are blessed in this country, the private feeling of every man here would be in favour of the establishment of free Governments. But is that at all the case in the present struggle P Is the present struggle that of a nation seeking to free itself from foreign control, and designing to replace it by a free Government ? Besides, whatever our feelings and sympathies may be, we must bear in mind that we are bound by international obligations which would not allow us to give active effect to our sympathies ; because I must say, that while I cannot speak with approval of the course taken by Austria, while I cannot avow sympathy with Austrian rule, and have no sympathy with the Austrian form of government, I say that this is a war undertaken under false pretences—not for the freedom of Italy, but a war into which, unfortunately, Sardinia has taken the lead in forcing Italy, thus assuredly demon strating that the form of constitutional government, which we desire to see thrive and prosper in that country, gives no security against the adoption of an aggressive policy, which is often supposed to be a peculiar attribute of despotic powers. Ido not say whether most blame rested on one side or the other ; but I do say that neither on one side nor the other was there sufficient ground for incurring the disasters of war, nor were there any political difficulties which might not have been solved by friendly negotiations. This country, therefore, cannot rejoice in the success or defeat of one party or the other, except as it may lead to greater complications ; but in present circum stances, I hold it to be the imperative duty of this country to maintain that policy which, from the first, we have announced—strict and impartial neutrality between the two contending parties." This reitera tion from the head of the Government, of their persistence in a policy of neutrality, must have been hailed with renewed satisfaction, by the country at large. It was another assurance of the Government being one of non-intervention and of peace ; and it is under such a policy, we may depend upon it, that the solid interests of this country are, the most certain to be advanced. There was a remark made by Mr. EGERTON, towards the close of his maiden speech, bearing closely on this'point, and which strongly confirms what we have just said. " I have the satisfaction to know," he said, "that the state of the trade and finances of the country is very prosperous, and as far as my own experience goes in Lancashire trade has not suffered, or not suffered in any material degree, from the state of continental affairs." This is no doubt to be attributed to the policy that has been pursued ; and it is only, we may rest assured, by the continuance of such It policy that our prosperity can be maintained. • ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND. AVE had barely directed public attenti on t o th i s vitally important subject, when her Majesty's Speech from the throne appeared in our columns, in which the especial attention of Parliament was directed - to further improvements in the law. It i s impos sible to predict what view the legislature w ill take, of the Crown's anxiety for the welfare of the subject. It will be well for both Lords and Commons to bear in mind that a love of justice is one of the strongest affections of the British nation. As you trava downward through the several grades of society, from the highest to the lowest, this affection will be found growing stronger and stronger. The i solicitude of the parent for the child's after welfare, is often surpassed by that of the child for its parents. The will of the deceased is the last bond that binds the dead to the living, and if this bond is not main tained in its integrity, and once it ceases to be paramount as an authority, the dissolution of society must follow. The laws which govern the dissent of property, of every and any kind, cannot be tampered with with impunity, without hastening a social crisis of the most alarming and dangerous character. We are not frequently called upon to give publicity to cases in which the subject is deprived of the rights secured by will, still, the instances which are brought to light are far too numerous tobe passed over in silence. It is not so much the fault of the law of wills as the " practice" of the courts into which those wills are taken for adjudication. Where there are equitable matters for adjustment the will and the substance are taken into Chancery, a sort of temporal hell," from whence there is no redemption." The subject knows and feels this, and it would be impossible to describe the universal contempt and execration in which this branch of our legal institutions are held by the public. And how the Court of Chancery is to be rendered as cheap and as expeditious in its final decisions as our courts of law, is a question which parliament will be called on to decide very speedily, if that court is to remain in existence. The attempts that have been made to reform Chancery have wholly failed in giving public satis faction in administration suits, which immediately affect the provision made by parents for their children. There is the old system of receivers and accounting —endless applications to the court and masters for directions, references, decrees, reports, supplemental decrees, and then a final decree coming after the rights of the parties have been so mystified and obliterated in volumes of pleadings, that every one engaged in the suit, except the parties actually entitled, get the property bequeathed. Such stories as these don't require to be often repeated, in order to render the whole system odious in the sight of the community at large. Its work ings must have led to endless misery in Ireland, where Courts and Judges enjoy, by common consent, a glorious and impenetrable isolation. The TALBOT divorce case, in the Irish Consistorial Court ; Mr. MAILLARD'S case in Chancery and the Common Pleas; and the "M'CoßmAcres, in an Assize Court ; all call loudly "for the better administration of justice in Ireland. There never were three such iustances of the perversion of justice, and contempt for law itself. In Mrs. TALBOT and the M'CORMACK'S cases, it wduld be hard to tell in which innocence suffered most ; and if there be one syllable of truth in what Mr. MAILLARD openly asserts, and which has never been contradicted, how is it that the persons who have imposed on the courts, and of whom he complains, are still at large ? Have we no Attorney-General in Ireland. to attend to such matters P Are we to be for ever hearing that there is no summary and sufficient redress for persons complaining of being defrauded of their property in a court of justice P We publish to-day a second letter from Ma. MULLARD in which he states that suitors run considerable risk in making any complaints of the officers of the Irish courts, from which we may infer that they take great interest in the proceedings with which they have to do, and that Justice, instead of being a blind Goddess, is one of the " wide awake " school. What the officer of a court can have to do 'with the entering of a judgment when marked, we cannot understand. If such a step be taken improperly, the suitor, and not the officer, is responsible ; and, unless some very substantial grounds be shown publicly, why the officers of the Irish Court of Common Pleas refuse to enter judg ment in Mr. IVIAILLARD'S ejectment case, the public will look upon Mr. MAILLARD as a wronged and oppressed man. He has bona fide rights or he has not. The Irish Judges are surely able to decide, yea or nay, in such a simple matter. The whole question of Law Reform, however, is one of such magnitude, that we scarcely dare grapple with it, and we can only bring prominently before the country those cases which show there is something radically wrong in our whole system of law, and that her Majesty's anxiety on the subject is not without grounds for apprehension. MAIL NEws.— The Ceylon steamer arrived yesterday afternoon at Southampton, with the Bombay and Austra lian mails, and 185 passengers; she left Alexandria on the 28th ult., Malta 31st, and Gibraltar June Ist. THE ARMY.—The General Orders, in which the long ay d brilliant services in India of the 84th Regiment and the 9th Lancers were acknowledged by the Governor-General of India, on their embarkation for England, were published 'n last night's Gazette. The Gazette contains a notice, issued by the Prussian Government, prohibiting the exportation of horned cattle, and all animals used for food, from certain provinces of Prussia.—The notification relative to the blockade of the port of Venice, as well as of its outlets, by a French squadron, is also published in last night's Gazette. -~---- LIVERPOOL VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS.—The Volunteer Rifle Corps movement in Liverpool procresses rather slowly, though the committee have issued pamphlets and advertise ments containing all the information requisite for those who wish to enrol themselves. The general committee sitting at the Town Hall have as yet received only about sixty names, but the original company, formed (principally of young gentlemen on 'Change) and organised by Mr. N. Bousfield during the last few years, numbers nearly 100 members. Mr. Bousfield, while in London last week, had very Satis factory interviews with‘Mr. Wilson Patten, M.P., the Vice Lieutenant of the County, and the military authorities. The uniform of the corps (blue and scarlet), with the arms and accoutrements, were approved of, with the addition of a tunic and shako for field dress ; this uniform to be that of the other companies of the Liverpool Corps. In compliance with the prayer of a memorial, signed by the members of the company, Mr. Bousfield has been appointed captain, and we understand that all the members will be formally sworn in at the Town Hall next week, so that the first company of the Liverpool Volunteers will be the first enrolled under the present system. We understands that a company, which numbers about 70, has been raised at Fairfield and Kensington, and that Mr. Huguenin, the well known professor of gymnastics, is forming a corps amongst the young gentlemen who frequent his establishment. The uniform of the Liverpool Corps may be seen at the estab lishment of Messrs. Brett and James, South Castle-street. I THE COURT. Her Majesty the Queen invested Captain the Hon.

Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by the Princess Alice, and attended by the Hon. Beatrice Byng and Lord Colville, paid a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at Clarence House, St. James's. The Princesses Helena and Louisa also visited her Royal Highness. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort presided at a meeting of the Finance Committee of Her Majesty's Com missioners for the Exhibition of 1851, held at Buckingham Palace. The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Alice and Prince Leopold, and attended by the Hon. Beatrice Byng, took a drive in an open carriage and four in the afternoon. Lord Colville and Lord Charles Fitzroy attended on horseback. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort rode on horse back, attended by Captain the Hon. D. de Ros. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent left town for her residence at Frogmore. Her Royal Highness was attended by Lady Susan Leslie Melville, Lady Fanny Howard, and Sir George Couper. The Duke de Nemours called at Clarence House, St. James's, in the morning, to inquire after the health of the Royal Duchess. ----.e10,,—._. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.--LaSt night, between one and two o"-clock, some burglarious scoundrels broke open the shutter at the back window of Mr. Hastie's house, in Foster's-court, Highfield-street. Mrs. Hastie happened to be up stairs, moving through the bedroom, but was not aware that the robbers were inside below. This was most providential, as they instantly decamped without taking any booty with them, although there was some valuable pro perty within their reach. May we ask, what were the police about at this hour, or where were they ? SOUTHERN Hosprrkv.—Weekly 4eport, June 10; 1859.

The body of deceased was buried last night before twelve o'clock, at Walton. In the case of Ellen Wignall, the child killed at the end of Hunter-street by a 'cart, the jury found a verdict of " Accidentally killed," and cautioned the driver as to his future conduct. CHEAP TRIPS ON WATER DURING THE HOLYDAY'S.— The most important point for excursionists into Liverpool during the holydays is, to see our docks, harbour, and ship ping, by water. An opportunity will be afforded to all classes from the country, &c., on Monday, and following days. to enjoy the scenery of the Mersey on all sides, as the splendid steamer United Kingdom, will leave the great Landing-stage, so as to accommodate all parties on the arrival of trains. The steamer will go round the Light ship, thus affording visitors a splendid view of both sides of the river, docks, &c. The charge will be only, one shilling, and as a fine band will be on board, it will be worth more than is paid for the entire trip. Who will not go on such a delightful "out ?" THE AMPHITHEATRE.—The feature of this week at the Amphitheatre, has been the production of Mr. Sterling Coyne's drama, "All Hallow Eve." There is something very novel in the first representation of a new drama taking place in a provincial theatre ; and it must be allowed that the efforts Mr. Copeland made to produce this drama in a style worthy of a first representation, were such as no London theatre could have exceeded in success. The drama itself has among many other merits, that of a very peculiar scope for the broad humour of Mr. Barney Willams, and the eccentric characteristics of Mrs. Williams' acting. So far it was a complete success, and was received every night, by crowded audiences, with enthusiastic applause. Arrangements have been made by which the whole of the remainder of Mr. and Mrs. Williams' stay in Europe will be given to the public of Liverpool. GENEROUS SYMPATHY WITH THE FAMILY OF A DECEASED EMPLOYEE.—As soon as the Messrs Moak,. the'extensive sugar refiners, had learned that Sheils, the unfortunate man who took suddenly ill nt work, on Wednesday, and died on the same evening, had not availed himself of the club carried on by the hundreds of men engaged by them, and by which he would have been entitled to £6 in case of death, they 'at once ordered that a coffin, and other funeral requisites should be sent to his house, in Leather-lane. Such acts of feeling philanthropy on the part of the Messrs. Macfie are worthy of being recorded, as it not only shows their kind consideration towards those in their employ, but it is purely characteristic of that charity, which is the " Very hand of perfectness. Let others go and do likewise." We have learned that a subscription will be raised amongst the workmen for the widow of Sheils and her four children. SCENE IN THE EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, YESTERDAY.— During the tlial of a case at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Channell, the court was suddenly startled by hearing the sudden cry of a gentleman, who fell back into th e arms o f police-constable 182, blo o d flowing profusely from the mouth and nostrils. The business of the court was suspended until medical assistance could be obtained. A medical gentleman was soon on the spot, who recommended his removal to the King's Arms Tavern, in Palace-yard, by the aid of a stretcher. Dr. M'Cann, of Parliament -street, who was sent for, stated that the unfortunate gentleman had been seized with a shock of apoplexy, and had burst a blood vessel. He was, by his orders, laid on a bed, and his head incased in ice. It was ascertained that the gentleman was Mr. Cheshire, solicitor, of Liverpool, who was in town on legal business, but not engaged in the case then proceeding be fore the court. PRESENTATION TO THE MERCHANTS' SOLICITOR AT CORK. —The Cork Constitution gives a long report of a most gratifying presentation to Mr. John Barnett, the solicitor to the committee of merchants of Cork. The testimonial, which consisted of two massive silver claret jugs and an inkstand, bearing a suitable and highly complimentary inscription, were presented at the Commercialßuildings, on the Ist inst., in the , presence of the local members of parliament, the foreign consuls, the principal merchants of the town and district, including the venerable Sir Thomas 'robin of Ballincollig. The presentation was made by Mr. E. Burke, the chairman of the committee of merchants, who highly eulogised the zeal, talent and tact with which Mr. Bennett had managed the legal affairs of the mercantile community of Cork. Mr. Bennett was afterwards presented with a piece of plate by the corn market trustees, who also spoke highly of his professional talents and services. Yesterdav, at 4 p.m., the White Star clipper-ship, Tornado, C - aptain Aiken, took her departure for Auckland, in New Zealand. This is the pioneer of a line of packets formed by Messrs. H T. Wilson and Chambers, to sail on the 10th of every month, from Liverpool to the leading ports of New Zealand. The day of sailing originally fixed on has been rigidly adhered to, and the Tornado is full of passengers and cargo. She has thirty-five saloon passengers, including the Rev. Mr Foster and family, of Bolton ; H. A. Knight, Esq. and party, from Stroud; Mr. Croker and family. from Saltcoats ; Mr. Carr and family, of Cheshire, &c., and 279 of all classes. Rarely has so respectable a body of emigrants ever sail e d i n one s hi p. We hail this departure as a great fact, and are pleased to learn that Messrs. H. T. Wilson and Chambers are following up the Tornado, with their celebrated clipper Mermaid, for the 10th of July, sailing to Auckland, Wellington, and Canterbury, and by the Shooting Star on the 10th of August.
