At four o'clock this day Mr. C. Berkeley will
move the rejection of the (so called and miscalled) Chel-
tenham Improvement Bill. The question of principle in-
volved in this Bill is whether town Commissioners, who
levy rates and make by-laws for the government of the
borough, should be responsible to the people who pay such
rates, and are bound to obey such by-laws. Mr. Craven
Berkeley's motion on Tuesday night for the rejection of
the Bill was only lost by two, the numbers having been
95 against and 97 for it, and upwards of twenty members
who came down to vote against the Bill having been a few
minutes too late and shut out. It is to be hoped that the
friends of representative principles will be more punctual
to-day, and will muster in such strength as to defeat the
oligarchical job.—Morning Chronicle.
THE LATE FROSTS.—The fine beech woods
crowning the hills from Arundell into Hampshire have
been so perfectly blasted by the severe frost of the 14th,
that, although on the previous day they were glowing in
all the beauty of spring, on the subsequent day they pre-
sented an appearance precisely similar to trees adjoining a
house that bad been burnt down, and thus the two elements
produce similar effects. Hundreds of acres of woodlands
are in this state, and only the very forward beech, whose
leaves have gained a little more strength have escaped.—
Taunton Courier.
• WASPS.-It is not generally known that the
large wasps which are seen flying about in the months of
April and May are queen Wasps, and that, therefore, the de-
struction of them is the prevention of the Birth of myriads
of wasps, These powerful enemies of the honey bee are
eagerly sought alter at this season by persons by whom
they are mercilessly destroyed. Earl Fitzwilliam gives a
shilling for each wasp brought to him, "dead or alive," in
the months of April and May. His Lordship pays more
than five or six pounds a year in this way, which he con
ciders a very profitable expenditure as regards the protec-
tion of his fruit and honey bees.—Maidstone .Tournal.
_ _

The Sacred Harmonic Society have announced
for their concert this evening Handel's Dettingen Te
Deum, a short selection, and Haydn's First Service, for
the first time. Miss Cawthorne, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Phil-
lips, Mr. Harper, and Signor Dragonetti, will render
their valuable assistance at this performance, which pro-
mises to be one of the most successful of the Society's
efforts.

FANCY FAIR.— On Tuesday, the 4th of
June, a Fancy Fair was held upon the grounds of Mrs.
Tanswell and Mr. Gates, of the Royal Artillery, at Night-
ingale Vale, Woolwich, for the purpose of completing the
sum of 500/., which is to form a fund whence the wives and
children of the privates of the Artillery, who are left behind
upon the embarcation of their husbands for foreign service,
may derive the means ,of subsistence, until such time as
the regulations of the service will permit them to draw
upon the pay of their husbands. This very praiseworthy
scheme having been so far matured by the indefatigabie
exertions of the above-named lady, has now, by her, been
resigned into the hands of Lord Bloomfield, who has given
the scheme the full weight of bis amiable patronage and
efficient influence, and it is gratifying to think that the
poor soldier is now no longer harassed at the moment of
his departure with the reflection that he leaves his wife and
family to the chance of utter destitution. The Fair was
most numerously and elegantly attended, and the contribu-
tions very greatly exceeded the sum required to complete
the proposed amount. The band of the Artillery Regi-
ment played, during the whole afternoon, some of the most
popular and difficult music, with the greatest taste and
effect.

APOTHECARIES' HALL.—At the Court of
Examiners last night at Apothecaries' Hall, the following
gentlemen were granted their certificates of qualification :
Mr. Edward Robert Lock, Debenham.
Mr. George Betts, Watford.
Mr. John Roycroft.
Mr. Robert M'Lownam.
Mr. William Shuttleworth, Manchester.
Mr. John James Wright, Stamford•bridge, near York.
Mr. James Tomlinson, York.
BRUSSELS, JUNE s.—The average prices of
wheat and rye in the last week were 24 francs 28 cents,
and 15 francs 70 cents ; the regulations for importation and
exportation remain unchanged. The number of travellers
on the railroad, in the month of May, was 105,520, and
the receipt, 240,045 francs. Juno 4.—A Cabinet mes-
senger was despatched to-day from the Foreign Office to
London, with a considerable mass of papers supposed to
be the duplicates of the treaties of the 19th of April.
Several of these papers were signed by the King this
morning.

A letter from Odessa says, that a great number
of merchantmen of different nations have been freighted in
all the ports of the Bak Sea, by order of the Russian Go-
vetnment, on very high terms. A letter from Bougie of
May 9th, in the Seraphore de Marseilles says, " I have this
moment learned from a vessel that has arrived from Djizelli,
that Capt. Brun, who with his whole crew had fallen into
the hands of the Bedouins, had been set at liberty with his
people, and is now at Constantine. The military authorities
who exerted themselves to rescue them from the hands of
the natives, have received them with the utmost kindness.
