with the tdag of Rear- Admiral Sir Charles
K.C.8., anchored at SpAhead at nine o'clock en
Saturday morning, having left Plymouth on Thursday-
evening. The gallant Admiral landed soon after she
had anchored, and raid his respects to Admiral Sir B.
Lapel. We understand telegraphic orders arrived for
her to go into harbour the same day, but the tide did
not suit; so her coming into harbour was postponed
until Monday; but she took out her powder and live
shells on Saturday, and the Myrtle steamer went out to
bring some of the Rear-Admiral's traps on shore. It
was said hiA flag would he struck on Saturday at sunset,
but it was flying yesterday afternoon. The St. Vincent is
to be in readiness for paying off on Saturday next; and,
to expedite her return of stores, she scrubbed hammocks
yesterday morning, and they are up drying through the
day. The St. Vincent, like the Plumper and Reynard,
experienced some hard northerly breezes, but she lost
no spar excepting the jib-boom : she has strained a
good deal, and her wear and tear of cordage and canvas
have been considerable. She unfortunately lost a man
overboard—John Goodman—who fell from the foretop-
sail-yard, and striking his head against a spar in his
fall, was never seen again, though every exertion was
made to save him.

THEATRICALS.

During the last week and for some time past
the managers of our leading theatres have been again

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 2d have arrrived.
The Gazette contains a royal decree, dated the
30th ult., giving a new organization to the normal
schools of primary instruction, and appointing an
" inspector" over these schools in each province, with
salaries of 8,000 to 10,000 reals per annum.
The news of the defeat and abdication of CHARLES
ALBERT had caused great excitement in Madrid.
CABRERA was at Itubi on the 24th, and General
CONCHA at Gerona.

MADRID BOLSA, Arm 2.—The effect of the news
from Italy was favourable upon the funds. The Three
per Cents. rose as high as 23, declining to 22i sellers,
and are reported after the close at 13 16, 4 buyers; Five
per Cents. 101 buyers, sellers; Coupons, 64 sellers;
Passive Debt, 3i sellers, and after the close buyers at
that price. Bank Shares have risen considerably
within the last day or two. Some transactions took
place on Saturday at 70, and to•day they are quoted 73
buyers, 76 sellers; Treasury Bills, 67; Exchange on
London, 49 95.
London, England, 1849-04-09

have arrived by sea, from Ireland, 92 Oxen and 158
-ito and Lareb9, in very middling condition. In the
.abler issued by the Board ut Trade in the past week wo
perceive the officials have made some considerable ad-
ditions to-the figures ',eying reference to the imports of
foreign stock into the United Kingdom. It is evident
that they have "strained a point" to give the returns an
air of probability. Still, however, they are . far, very
far, from accurate, as we could show by reference to the
Cuitems' lists. N?Nre shall, possibly, have occasion to
analyse the whole of these returns at no distant
Any, as it is of the utmost importance to all
classes that they should be correct. Our mar-
ket to-day was very scantily supplied with fo-
reign stock, the general quality of which was inferior;
yet the demand for it was heavy, at very low prices.
The arrivals of Beasts fresh up from our grazing dis-
tricts were considerably less than those reported on Mon-
day last, but there was no deficiency in quality. Al-
though this is what is termed a holiday market, the
a!tendance of buyers was somewhat on the increase, and
!he Beef trade ruled firm, at, in some few instances, a
trifle more money for the best Scots, the highest general
quotation for which, however, was only 3s 6d per 8 lbs.
Prier to the conclusion of business, .a good clearance
was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire we received about 1,000 Scots and Short-
horns, with a few Hornebreds; from the western at d

midland districts, 600 Herefords, Runts, Devons, and
Irish Beasts; from other parts of England, 700 of various
breeds; and, from Scotland, 190 horned and polled Scots.
The remainder of the bullock supply was derived
from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Sheep exhibited a
falling off, it was seasonably large, and of full average
quality. All breeds were a very dull sale, and a further
decline in the quotationkof quite 2J per 81bs. The best
old Downs, in the wool, were selling at only 4s to 4s 2d;
out of the wool, 3s 6,1 to 3s 8d per 81bs, and a clear-
ance was not effected. Lambs were in good supply, and
steady request, at full prices, viz., from is 8d to 61 8d
per 81b. From the Isle of Wight, 75 Sheep and Lambs
came to band per railway. Prime Small Calves sold
freely, at full prices. Otherwise the Veal trade was in
a very dull state. The Pork trade ruled heavy, at about
last week's quotations.

Prince METTERNICH not having paid the Govern-

from 1815 to 1848 on his chateau of Johannisberg,
in the Duchy of Nassau, the judicial authorities pro-
ceeded on the SOth ult. to effect a seizure of the pre
cious wines in the cellars. If within a certain brief
period the Prince does not pay the taxes, 70,6.51
florins (about 177,000 francs), the wines will be sold.
Some of the wines are two hundred years old ; the
latter are valued at 100 francs the bottle.

NEVITGATE AND i.,EADENNA.I.L.
During last week about 800 carcasses of Beef, 2,000
ditto Mutton, 600 ditto of Lamb, 300 ditto of Veal,. and
1,500 ditto of Pork, arrived for these markets from
various parts of the country. The supplies on offer
killed in the metropolis having been extensive, and the
weather seasonably mild, the demand for all kinds of
meat—except Lamb, which has sold at an advance of
quite 2d per Sibs—has continued heavy, at barely the
late decline in the quotations. About 400 carcasses of
foreign meat slaughtered in the metropolis have ap-
peared on sale; and three baskets of Beet have come to
hand from llamburgh.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Only about 2,900 tons of home-grown Potatoes have
arrived, coastwise, since Monday last, but by railway
nearly 1,000 tons have reached us in fair average con.
dition. The imports from abroad have been again ex-
tensive—they have consisted of 630 bags from Ghent;
297 begs'93-tons- from Antwerp; 42 tons from Dunkirk;
4,682 bags from Rotterdam; 60 tons from Nantes; 90
tons fromilamburgh; 295 tons from Dieppe; 72 sacks
from Calais; and 313 tons from Rouen. The best
qualities command a steady sale at full rates of currency,
but all other kinds are a dull inquiry, at our quotations.

tion, and, indeed, of every measure which tended to the
progress of enlightment. He •was one of The Commis-
sioners of Charitable Bequests, and in accepting that
office, in conjunction with Drs. Murray and Denvir, in-
curred a large share of odium, from which, however, he
never shrank, notwithstanding that the opposition against
him was led by the late Mr. O'Connell in person.
soon as the announcement of his death was made public
the shops inDrogheda were nearly all closed, and the ship-
ping in the river had their flags raised half-mast high.
Ho was about seventy years of age, but from active
habits and strong constitution looked to be much leas
advanced in age.
OPENING OF THE COMMISSION.
The commission was opened this day before Mr. Jus-
tice Jackson and Mr. Justice Moore. The former
learned Judge, in the course of his charge to the grand
Jury, very briefly referred to the case of Mr. Duffy,
merely stating that as the bills bad been already found
they had nothing whatever to do in the matter. No day
has been fixed fur the trial, but it is generally believed
that it will not commence before Tuesday morning. Mr.
Duffy's health has been materially benefited by his
transference from the gaol of Kilmainham to the
Richmond Bridewell. Mr. Corry Connellan, private se-
cretary of Lord Clarendon, bas been served with a sub-
poena to attend the court on Tuesday next.
Lord Clarendon is not expected to arrive in Dublin
until the week after next. The amended report (as pub-
lished in The Sun of Friday) of his Excellepcy'a inter-
view with the deputation on the part of Mr.
Duffy has cleared away a cloud of misapprehension,
which, naturally enough, arose out of the
account furnished to the Dublin papers. It certainly
would be well if, upon such occasions as the one in quest--
tion, gentlemen would take care to avail themselves, of

THE WRITS OF ERROR,—THE QUEEN v. SMITH
London, England, 1849-04-09

O'BRIEN AND OTHERS.

About the 10th of May William Smith O'Brien, J. B.
M'Manus, and Patrick O'Donohue, convicted of high
treason at Clonmel, will be removed to London, for
the purpose of having the writs of error, taken on their
behalf, argued before the House of Lords. No doubt an
earlier day n ould,have been selected, but there hasbeen an
unwillingness to fix any time for the purpose during the
ensuing Easter term, because such an arrangement would
necessarily withdraw the English Judges from the busi-
ness of their respective courts. An early day in the
short vacation, between Easter and Trinity term, will be
named for hearing the cases.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE
NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

From the subjoined outline of the engagements, stand-
ing and proposed, and the great number of horses
already on the spot, there is every reason to anticipate
that the ensuing meeting will be a good, if not a brilliant
one. The chief features of the list are the Newmarket
Handicap, for which there will be a large field, and the
stakes, in which Tadmor, Nunnykirk, Indus, Strongbow,
Escalade, and Sister to Arkwright, are engaged, all of
whom are looked upon as certain runners; the results
will have a material influence on future- speculations.
With so much to attract and the prospect of fine and
seasonable weather, a good attendance may be expected.
The course is stated to be in excellent order, and the
stables very healthy. The *is affixed 'to horses now at
Newmarket or on their way.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MAY 30.—A telegraphic dispatch from
Warsaw states that his Majesty the Emperor of
Russia has placed the Russian corps d'armee, com-
manded by Lieutenant-General Ganjiatin, under the
command of Field J.larshal Welden.

The Emperor of Austria, in a letter to the Minister
of War, F.M. Van Cordon, has commissioned that
general to take immediate steps for ascertaining the
names of the officers and soldiers who fell at Ofen, in
order that the widows and orphans of all those who
there met with their heroic death may be provided
for, with as little delay as possible.
The Weiner Zeitung in an article this day com-
pletely exonerates the Government fromtbecharge of
having suppressed the extra supplement which con-
tained the non•official accounts of the fall
of Ofen. The editor says, that so great
was the demand for this extra supplement
that the edition of 8,000 which was taken off
was soon exhausted, and the office was therefore
closed. The Wiener Zeitung says, that the above re-
port was the more greedily Circulated because it
seemed to hold out a hope that the fatal intelligence
might not be cfficially confirmed. The article con-
cludes with saying, the loss of the position of the
Imperialists at Ofen can have no decided
influence on the result of the operation of the army.
This, as the Cologne Gazette observes, is an absurd
way of imparting comfort, for the moral impression of
the loss of Ofen is of immense importance.
We learn from Weis-birchen that the Maygars
have beaten the battalions of Puchnies' corps d armee.
From Orsowa, we hear that the remnant of the ex-
hausted troops wers beaten and dispersed, and had
fled—come to Wallachia, and some to Servia.

The Cologne Gazette says that the confusion
which prevails in every department in the Go-
vernment in Austria is evident from the new
press law, which Jellachich has just issued,
on his own responsibility, for Croatia and
Sclavonia. Although the jMinistry at Olmutz pro-
mulgated such a law for the whole Monarchy,
Jellachich made nothing of setting it aside,
because he considered it too weak in some points
and too strong in others for his people." Ac-
cording to the new law of the Ban, every
political journal which appears more than three
times a-week must give security fur 2,000 guilders
three times a week 1,000, and once or twice a- week,
500. The Ban has also given a totally different
meaning to the "Lease Majesty" than its definition
by the Ministry. Ile has also adopted a new title,
for he signs his decree Jellachich Ban and Dictator.
London, England, 1849-06-04

CANADA.

Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice for a future evening,
that on going into Committee of Supply he should call
the attention of the House to the recent Act to provide
compensation for rebellion losse,, in Canada.
COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. _ _ _

The Marquis of G,TtANBY wished to ask the Lord
Advocate whether it was his intention to embrace, in his
Medical Bill, or by any other means, to make an altera-
tion in the existing charter of the Royal College of Sur-
geons of England, as well as of the Royal College of
Physicians of London, by which the grievances that the
great body of its members have complained of, and pe-
titioned against, shall be redressed?
The LORD ADVOCATE said it was not intended
to propose any alteration of the Royal College of Sur-
geons, but it would be neces/ary to make an alteration
in the charter of the Royal College of Physicians, which
would be embodied in the Bill.
ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.

Mr. 11011SMAN said, perhaps the Noble Lord at the
head of the Government could now explain the course
he intended to pursue with reference to the Ecclesias-
tical Commission Bill, and the Bishopswearmouth rec-
tory.

Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect to the Eccle•
siastical Commission Bill, he proposed on Friday to
ask the House to go into Committee pro furma, and
then to introduce an amended Bill to meet the
views of parties who had objected to portions of the
present measure. With regard to the second question,
the draft of a Bill on the subject was now before the
Law Officers of the Crown, and he expected to be able to
introduce it in a few days.

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1849.

Since the recess the House of Commons has been
occupied in the necessary but by no means agreeable
duty of voting Supplies for the current year. It
• would appear, from the thin attendance of Members,
and from the dispatch with which thousands and
tens of thousands were voted almost sub
silentio, that the popular representatives con-
sidered the proceedings as a mere matter
of fern), and as if nothing were required but
that a sufficient number should be present to form a
House, and to assent to the deneands of Ministers,
whatsoever they might be. The intense anxiety for
financial reform outside the walls of Parliament seems
to be altogether forgotten, or the approach of the
period when Honourable Gentlemen will have to
render accounts of their legislative stewardships to
their respective constituencies. If the amounts so
sanctioned were to be levied directly on the possessors
of accumulated and realised fortunes, a greater
degree of anxiety would be manifested
to reduce the expenditure within reasonable limits,
and to avoid the errors and mistakes that are committed
every year, and which so materially increase the na-
tional burdens. But, unfortunately, while so large a
portion of the public revenue is obtained from the
proceeds of indirect taxation, while the great body of
the people, six-sevenths of whom are wholly unre-
presented, are supplying the means for defraying
the outlay, a carelessness and apathy will be mani-
fested similar to that which was so painfully per-
ceptible on Thursday and Friday evenings.
It would be impossible within the limit of a single
article to direct the public attention to the numerous
items sanctioned, almost any one of which would
afford abundant grounds for comment and discussion.
We find the dockyard expenditure still kept up, to
afford ample room for those costly and useless experi•
ments, the waste of labour and materials that would
speedily reduce any private firm, however opulent,
to bankruptcy. The constant alterations and con-
versions tht are every day taking place, for which
no reason can be assigned, unless that it was essential
to find employment of some description or other for
the artificers engaged in the yards, are still to be con-
tinued, It is true that there has been a reduction on
the original estimate of last year, but it should not
be forgotten that the amount thus demanded
was very much beyond the usual average, and
that even the present estimate considerably
exceeds the claims of former years that
eoe ibete is an increase of 220,0001. or 230,0001. per an-
- Mlle for wages and stores beyond the sums required
ese purposes some eight or ten years since.
Th‘ charges, which should be closely scrutinised,
were panetioned without a division, it being evident
thateuch a proceeding would only have involved a

PALACE COURT.

Mr. BERNAL, seeing his Noble Friend the Member
for blmrylebone in his place, wished to know what
course he intended to purue with respect to the Palace
Court.

Lord DUDLEY STUART begged to say that he
had not given any notice of motion with respect
to the subject : hitherto he had contented him-
self with moving for returns. With regard to
these returns, they were not yet laid on the
table, but he understood they would ba in a
short time. Not long ago he had put a question
to the Attorney-General inquiring whether it was the in-
tention of the Government to do away with the Palace
Court. The answer he had received was certainly no;
very explicit, but it led him to suppose that the Govern-
ment had in contemplation a measure of that sort. If
the Governm,,nt did not bring in a Bill on the subject,
he could assure the Hon. Member that he would do his
best to bring in a measure on the subject, and he trusted
he should be supported by his Hon. and Gallant Friend.

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA.
(From the Chronicle.)

We have received by extraordinary express a
copy of the Telegraph and Courier of the Ist of May.
The Atalanta, with the mails, arrived at Suez on
the 21st.

Our private letters and dispatches have not ye
arrived.

(From the Bombay Telegraph and Courier.)
The news from the Punjaub—till recently so im-
portant and exciting—has begun to grow scanty and
of diminished interest. We have little, indeed, to
add to the accounts sent home by the last mail, save
that everything in•our new province wears an appear-
ance of tranquillity, and that the arrangements for
administering the affairs of the country, though not
yet officially announced, are believed to be in active
progress.

There is, it is understood, to be no addition to the
regiments of the line of the Bengal Army. A sort of
" half measure"—neither prudent in its origination,
nor likely to be very successful in its results—is in-
tended to be tried. The leading feature of this con-
sists in the raising of a Contingent" for service in
the Punjaub—a force to be composed of ten regi-
ments, fire of cavalry and five of infantry, and half of
the men to be recruited from the Seikhs who have
" never borne arms against us," and the remainder
from Mussulmans and Poorbeeas.

Of the civil arrangements of the new administra-
tion no formal announcement has as yet appeared.
The Board and commissionerships, however, are to
consist of the following:—

CHAGRES AND PANAMA.

The Trent brings news from the above places; from
the former to the 25th of April, and the latter to the 22d.
Tho arrivals of emigrants en route to California were
on the increase, and consisted of adventurers of all
classes. ' The means of transit wero exceedingly scarce,
and consequently the charge for a passages to San Fran-
cisco exorbitantly high, as much as 250 dollars demanded,
snd, in short, insisted on for a cabin passawe. For
second berths the rate was almost as high. People are
readily found to give these sums, so eager are they to get
from such a scene of misery as now exists at Panama,
and also equally anxious to reach their destination.
Robbery, and even attempts at murder, were rife at
Panama. Many of the un'ortunatc emigrants had been
robbed to a serious amount, and some of them left pen-
niless, and without the means of proceeding on their
journey.
The British brig the Two Friends which arrived at
Panama early in April, consigned to a respectable mer-
chant, was immediately chartered for the high price of
35,000 dollars to proceed to San Francisco. Such was
the uncertainty and anxiety amongst the emigrants that
the contracting parties were enabled to fill her up at the
exorbitant rate of 250 dollars for a steerage and 350 for
a cabin passage! The whole of the passage tickets (100)
were taken after the books were opened.
The British steamer Peru, which arrived at Panama,
as the latter end of March, brought 700,000 dollars in
bullion, about one-half of which was in Californian gold.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the De Cordova's Jamaica Intelligencer.)
GENERAL REMARKS.
The trade of the past fortnight has been exceedingly
dull. Every branch of business appears to be irnmoe-
rately depressed; a sad condition of things, which is to
be attributed only to the state of poverty into which the
great mass of the people has been plunged by the con-
siderable number of estates thrown up and remaining
idle. This must continue and increase until England,
returning to a sense of humanity and justice to the slave,
shall cease to afford a market to slave-grown sugar to
the ruin of her own colonies.

REVIEW OF MARKETS.

[Unless specifically stated to the contrary, long or duty
paid prices are always given, and ara to be considered as
wholeslle prices.]
Bread—Sales have been made of 400 barrels, Wat-
son's at 18s. and 100 barrels of his crackers at 2Us. per

barrel.
Butter—Sales of Irish butter aro made in small lots
at 91. to 90., and some of the dealers who purchased
at 90. are now re-selling at 9d., evidently acting under
some panic. As the stock is large and consumption slow,
prices must be expected, to rule low for some time, and
therefore, best cousult their interest by
shippers would,

SCIILESW IG-HOLSTEIN.

KIEL, MAY 30.—The English war steamer Ilecate
arrived here this afternoon and dropped anchor in the
harbour. As she passed Friedrich ores she received
a brisk fire ; this was attributed by some to her
neglect to salute the German slag which
was hoisted there, and by others to the
fact that she had not obtained permission
to run into the harbour. The commander of
the vessel immediately made complaints through the
English Consul to the civic authorities respecting
this unwarrantable procedure.
The state of affairs here appears to take a turn
from the known fact that the Danes will now pro-
bably be assailed. by the Russians.

THE SONG OF JUNE.

Oh, come with me, whoever ye be,
Come from the palace, and come from the cot;
The strong and the hale—the poor and the pale—.
Ah, sad is the spirit that follows me not.
Old December lighted his pyre,
And beckoned ye in to the altar blaze;
He hung up his mistletoe over the fire,
And pressed soft lips upon Christmas-days.
Ye welcomed him with his eyes so dim,
But I know ye have more love for me,
When I wander about, and whistle ye out
With my blackbird pipers in every tree.
Oh, come from the town, and let us go down
To the rivulet's mossy and osiered brink;
'Ds pleasant to note the lily queen float,
The gadfly skim and the dappled kine drink.
Oh, let us away where the ring doves play,
By the skirts of the wood in the peaceful shade;
And there we can count the squirrels that mount,
And the flocks that browse on the distant glade.
And if we should stay till the farewell of day,
Its parting shall be with such lingering smile,
That the western light, as it greeteth the night,
Will be caught by the eastern ray peeping the while.
Little ones come with your chattering hum.
And the bee and the bird will be jealous full soon;
For no music is heard like the echoing word

Of a child, as it treads 'mid the flowers of June.
Ye who are born to be weary and worn
With labour or sorrow, with passion or pain,
Come out for an hour, there's balm in my bower,
To lighten and burnish your tear rusted chain.
Oh, come with me, wherever you be,
And beauty and love on your spirits shall fall;
The rich and the hale, the poor and the pale,
Fur Lady June scatters her joys for all.
ELIZA. CooK.
