'Cite decd interest felt by the large body of subscribers

played by their voluntarily pledging themselves to be-

as

and generously gave the invitation. T. h

The arrangements for the entertainments were on th%
most liberal and elegant scale—the long range of tables
on the lawn, covered with viands of the best quality, and
tastefully displayed, and the many distinguished suppor-
ters of the schools, accompanied by their ladies and
friends

g lively and ratifying appearance.
Ev..-ry ood thing ws,s in abundar.ce,

Esq., treasurer, and the vice chair was occupied by J. R.

ARRIVALS OF GRAlN.—Upwards of 8,000 quarters
of grain arrived at t hi, port last week, at two successive
tides. One beautiful brig, the Warrior, of Montrose, has
2,000 quarters. Those cargoes are all from foreign ports,
; and we hear that much more is on the way. From the
pee-, ceupied state of our numerous granaries, no stowage
Could be obtained, and in the meantime the vessels in
wh,:•l3 fre-ghts caw. hrAd to be detained for want of

without actual criminality on their part. These
claims have gradually been recognised, and a greatly
improved spirit is observable in the manner in which
the wants, the interests, and the wishes of the les,
wealthy classes, of the hard-working artisans, by
whom the national wealth is created, are now dealt
with in the Legislature. The statements made by
their advocates are no longer sneered at and disre-
garded ; they at least command the respect-
ful attention of the House, and although the
remedies may for awhile be withheld, they are
certain ultimately to be adopted. The Government
have evinced an anxiety to do justice to the people ;
true it is, that an occasional stimulant must be ad-
ministered, their attention must be directed to the
grievance, and the manner in which it may success-
fully be encountered ; and, this can only be done by
the energy and zeal of private Members who, actuated
by the noblest ambition, desire to ameliorate the con-
dition of their fellow-men, and devote their labours
and anxious care to the subjects demanding reform-
The urgent and pressing demands upon the Ministerial
time prevent the leading members of the Cabinet
from originating investigations, and searching out
abuses which are not prominent and notorious. A
prima facie case must be made out in the first instance.
The public gratitude will be due to the Ministers
who may bring to a successful termination the re-
quired measures of reform, but it will be due in a
still higher degree to the individual member by whose
perseverance and assiduity they have been forced
upon, and led to the consideration of the sub-
ject. In this respect the Hon. Member for
Finsbury has indeed deserved well of the
country. He has been indefatigable in the
exposure of abuses, and his statements, although per-
hap controvertfi when first brought f--ward, have
'L.:cluellstiy had their accuracy and jus e admitted
ayd acted upon. The Home Secretary. in the pre-
sent instance, has undertaken that the serious consi-
deration of the Government shall be given to the sub-
ject during the recess. He has expressed a hope that
they will receive much valuable assistance from the
labours of Mr. DUNCOMBE—assistance which that
gentleman will, doubtless, be most happy to afford—
and he has expressed their readiness, if practicable,
to propose a satisfactory measure on the subject
during the course of next session. Under these cir-
cumstances Mr. DUNCOMBE could not do otherwise
than consent to the present withdrawal of the measure,
in order to secure its ultimate and certain success.

Madrid papers of the 24th ult. have arrived.
The Infante Don FRANCISCO DI PAULO, the father of
the King Consort and the uncle of the QUEEN, was
summoned before the Cabinet on the 23d; and accused
of being a member of several treasonable societies,
among others of the " Carbonari," of the " Com-
munists," and of " the Avengers of Alibaud." The
objects of these societies are to destroy the monarchy
and to introduce a republic. Don FRAricisco de-
clared that he was ignorant of the designs of the
members of these societies, and promised to cease to
have any intercourse with them for the future. All
was quiet in the Basque provinces, The QUEEN had
gained much popularity by pardoning three Carlists
who had been sentenced to death at Lerida.
The Bolsa was closed on the 24th in honour of the
feast of St. John.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
Every day brings to light some fresh instance of
corruption on the part of the French Conservative
Ministry, and these charges are made and proved, not
by their political opponents, but the members of their
own party—by men who are to the full aPeorrupt as
those whom they charge with corruption. Who be-
lieves in the immaculate incorruptibility of such men
as M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN ? The letter read from
the tribune by M. GUIZOT, in the debate of the 18th
of June, as effectually settled the question of M.
EMILE DE GIRARDIN'S honesty as it did that of M.
GUIZOT'S honour. Nevertheless M. EMILE DE
GIRARDIN continues his edifying revelations, and
those revelations continue to gain credence
because, from the known character of all
parties concerned, it is considered much more
probable that they should be true than otherwise
It will be remembered that M. DUCHATEL accused
M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN of railway jobbing, and the
proprietor of La Presse admitted the soft impeach-
ment. He held certain shares, but he had paid for
them, and he retorted by a to quoque, whereupon M.
DUCHATEL waxed wrath, and denounced as a ca-
lumny the accusation that any Cabinet Minister had
jobbed in railway shares—" Such a Minister would
be infamous." In the Presse of Monday, M. EMILE
DE GIRARDIN shows that the firm of CUNIN GRIDAINE
and Sons had received 500 shares in a cer-
tain railroad company, M. CUNIN GRIDAINE
being at that time Minister of Commerce,
of the Soult-Guizot Government. In the Moniteur
Parisien of Monday night appears a letter from M.
CUNIN GRIDAINE, stating that he had withdrawn
from the general business of his mercantile house at
Sedan as early as 1834, reserving to himself only a
share in the manufacture of cloth, and that he was a
stranger to the other transactions of the house. This
explanation is regarded as anything but satisfactory.
The Presse says very justly—

r such a one demanded 500, and hardly obtained 50.
With the modest premium of 400 f, these 500 shares
represented a clear profit of 200.000 f. We know not to
vhs.t number these 500 shares was reduced when the
usion took place between all the companies; but, vi hat-
ver it was, there was always a profit of 400 f. per share.
Ellis bait violently excited speculators; and can it be
believed that t!ie name of Cunin Gridaine, pere, was
without influence in obtaining what it demanded for the
house of Sedan? Can it be believed that in this respect
the quality of Minister appeared indifferent? In what-
ever point of view we place ourselves, the official note
fully leaves the accusation in existence; and the words
of M. Guizot and M. Duchatel fall like a heavy weight
on their colleague who calls himself Cunin Gridaine,
pere, at Paris, and Cunin Gridaine, pere et fils, at Sedan."
MM. CUBIERES, TESTE, PARMENTIER, and PAL-
LEPRA were interrogated on Monday by M. le Presi-
dent LEG EGNEUR, one of the Commissioners appointed
by the Court of Peers to assist the Chancellor in
conducting the trial. It is reported that General
CUBIERES has made a statement to the CHANCELLOR
and M. PA SS Y which seriously implicates one of his
co-accused, and will completely establish the charge
of corruption against him.

Tranquillity has been completely restored at Mul-
house.

Considerable gloom prevailed on the Paris Bourse, on
Tuesday, for which no political reason was assigned.
The Three per Cents., which closed on Monday at 77f.
50c., fell at one time to 77f. 30c., at which price they lett
off. Shares were also out of favour. A trifling fall
(21f.) took place, on Orleans, in Northern, and in Lyons
shares. Havre, Vierzon, and Avignon shares fell
respectively sf.

day at 77f. 30c.; the Five per Cents., 117 f the Or-

QUEEN'S ,BENCH.-(THIS DAY.

THE QUEEN V. THE REV. MB.. RAMSAY.

This case, which was not concluded at the rising of
the court late last night, was resumed at the sitting of the
court this morning. It was a criminal proceeding against
the defendant, at .the instance of a married woman
named Emmerson, one of the choristers of St. Michael's
Church, Burleigh-street, Strand, of which+ the defendant
is the incumbent, for taking indecent liberi:es with her
in the vestry of the church, and also at her own residence.
The case is fully reported in another part of The Sun.
The court, as yesterday, was crowded to excess with
eager listeners, an I although all females had been de-
sired to leave it doling the proceedings, there were seve-
ral female auditors in tae out-of-the-way corners of the
court. The Bishop of London, Archdeacon Sinclair, and
the Rev. Sir 11. R. Dukinfield, the vicar of St. Martin's
parish, in which St. Michael's is situate, were on the
bench. Of course the generality of the evidence, as in
similar cases, is unfit for publication.
A great number of witnesses were called for the de-
fence, including several members of the choir and two
pew openers, and they concurred in stating that they
had never heard anything disadvantageous to the cha-
racter of the defendant, except the statements circulated
by Mrs. Emmerson. One witness, named James Clarke,
said, that when he was speaking in a favourable manner
of the character of Mr. Ramsay, Mrs. Emmerson re-
marked, " Oh, you do not know him as well as I do;"
and she added, that he had taken improper liberties with
her in the vestry, and she had told her husband of the
circumstance, bat her husband did not think anything
the worse of Mr. Ramsay in consequence of it.
The trial is not expected to conclude to-day.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE ANDERSON.—TURF SPECULATIONS.
This insolvent, who was described as of Lodge•road,
Regent's-park, gentleman, came up for his final order.
Mr. Lewis, a solicitor, appeared on account of a debt
of 241., incurred for costs. Mr. Cooke appeared on
behalf of the insolvent.

His HONOUR, after hearing the case, said ho did not
consider it one in which he ought to refuse the final
order. The creditors had trusted the insolvent with
their eyes open, and knew the very precarious nature of
his avocation, as he was known to indulge largely in turf
speculations. A great portion of the debts arose from
legal expenses. There did not appear to him to have
been any fraud.

" M. Cunin Gridaine may have abandoned since 1831
the direction of his old commercial house ; but that does
not do away with this fact, that the signature to which
allusion has been made was presented to the Minister of
Public 'Works in these arms—Cunin Gridaine, pere
et fils."

The National 'ht., comments on this very aus-
picious proceeding :
" It will be remembered that the other day M. Du-
chatel exclaimed in indignant accents, that a Minister
who should have taken shares in a railway, the Northern
or any other, would have committed a shameful action !'
' An infamous action !' forcibly added M. Guizot, where-
upon the whole Chamber applauded, and M. Durrion
gave very visible signs of cordial approbation. The
esse reproduced yesterday the text of the Al oniteur, in
which this scene is described, and it added What
would the Minister of the Interior say, if one were to
show him the name of one of his colleagues inscribed for
500 definitive shares (20 coupons of 25 shares, Nos.
6,301 to 6,320) on the register of one of the companies
admitted to the concession of the Northern railway,
as settled the 22d August, 1845. This does not concern
one of the dismissed Alinisters."The accusation this time
is precise; the number of shares subscribed, their re•
spective numbers, the period of the subscription, all is
set forth very clearly. W ho is the Minister not dismissed
who has committed the shameful action—the infamous
action ? The Moniteur Parisien of last evening informs
us officially. The note it publishes is as follows;—` The
journal tke Presse insinuates this morning (insinuates is
charming) that a :Minister is inscribed for 500 definitive
shares on the register of subscriptions of a company
admitted to the concession of a railway. If this journal
intended to allude to the subscription of the house of
Cunin Gridaine, pire effits, of Sedan, we are authorised
to declare that M. Cunin Gridaine, Minister of Agricul-
ture and Commerce, is a complete stranger to this
subscription. Since 1834 he has abandoned the
direction of his old house of business, which has
since belonged to his two sons. He has only
preserved an interest of small importance in
the affairs relative to the manufacture of cloth,
and ho has no interest whatever in any of the operations
not connected with the manufacture of cloth. The de-
claration made with honest energy by the Minister of
the Interior, in the sitting of the 25th, remains therefore
in all its force.' Undoubtedly this declaration is not
annulled; but though we d and re-read the authorised
note, we do sit see in Ala.
,respect it destroys the
accusation of h 7 e Presse ; it seems to us, on the contrary,
that this note confirms it from point to point. To whom
do the 500 definitive shares belong? Evidently the pro-
perty is determined by the name they bear. What is
that name? Cunin Gridaine, pere et fils, of Sedan. Is
M. Cunin.Gridaine pere the same as the Minister of
Agm:ulture? There is no doubt in that respect. It is
therefore to Messrs. Cunin Gridaine, pere et file, that
the shares subscribed for belong. By whom is
the operation made ? By the house in which
the Minister retains an interest : it is to the firm
Cunin Gridaine, pere et fils, that the shares are
accorded. If, by chance, they were not paid for,
Cunin Gridaine pere would be as much responsible as
Cunin Gridaine fits. And if the Minister were, as he
says, an entire stranger to this operation, the shares
ought to have been subscribed for by M. Cunin Gridaine

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.
WEAVER V. SCOTT.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a
surgeon at Bayswater, to recover the sum of 8/. 10s. 6d.
for money lent.
Mr. Wordsworth appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Thomas for the defendant, who pleaded CZ:at he was nut
indebted.
It appeared from the evidence adduced on behalf of
the plaintiff that the defendant was the widow of a gen-
tleman who had, up to the time of his death, been a
partner with the plaintiff, and died in July, 1846, at
Brighton. At that time there was a debt of 3Z 14s. due
for lodging. The defendant and her servant came up to
London, and borrowed 11., and plaintiff afterwards went
down to Brighton and paid the bill for lodging. These
were the only items attempted to be proved, the others
were for hotel expenses, cab hire, money lent, &c. The
principal witness was a person named Murphy, who said
that the money was got for some drink at the funeral.
Mrs. Scott came to London with him to get the money,
and when they got back they buried the deceased—in
four days. Plaintiff was down, and attended the funeral;
his solicitor, Mr. Bradley, was with him. The plaintiff's
son said plaintiff was a tenant to deceased. He did not
know that his father had entered a caveat at Doctors'-
commons against the wife taking out letters of adminis
' tration• did not know that he had acted as administrator,
or had been sued as executor.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said this was not a question
raised on the record, but if there had been any illegality
it was subject matter for inquiry at another Court.
(The penalty for administering to property without
taking out letters of administration is 1001.)
Mr. THOMAS said he was precluded from showing
that the plaintiff had acted as administrator, but he must
submit that the debt fur lodging having been contracted
during the life-time of the husband, the defendant was
not liable. The tavern-keeper could not legally detain
the property.
The UNDER-SHERIFF W2B of opinion that if she could
not get away her clothes till the account was paid, and
the money was advanced on that ground, it was a pay-
ment on her account.
Mr. THomes—Not if the plaintiff was acting as ex-
ecutor. The plaintiff took to the property, and if the
defendant had been sued as administratrix or executrix
the question would have been before the Court as to
whether she was or not. I must now leave it to ithe
jury to infer that the plaintiff had advanced as a partner.
—whether he acted as administrator to his own wrong
is not the question.
The UNDER-SHERIFF—That question must be settled
elsewhere.
Mr. THOMAS then called on Mr. Bradley to give evi-
dence, but he objected, as he had not been subpoenaed ;
but the Under-Sheriff held that he was bound to give
evidence. The Learned Counsel then finally put it to
the Learned Under-Sheriff whether he was not entitled
to examine Mr. Bradley to show that plaintiff had acted
as executor.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that was no answer in the
present case, and he considered the claim had been made
out for the 11. money lent and the 31. 14s. paid for rent.
The jury gave a verdict for 41. 14s.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG THIEF.— Henry Ward, a
boy about twelve years of age, was charged with steal-
ing a pair of boots, the property of Mr. Wm. Ogle, boot
and shoe maker, of Chapel-street, comers-town.
It appeared that the prisoner was seen to take the
articles from the shop door, and when taken into custody
by a policeman, it was ascertained that he had only
come out of the House of Correction at eight o'clock that
evening, when the governor of the prison gave him six-
pence and a loaf of bread. When the policeman searched
him he found part of the bread upon him as well as the
sixpence.
Mr. Comm:, after commenting upon the little effect
his punishments seemed to have had upon him, com-
mitted him for trial at the Old Bailey.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

ALLEGED MURDER OF A MAN BY BIS WlFE.—Mary
Ann Maids, a poor, wretched-looking woman, with a
child in her arms, was placed before Mr. Bingham,
charged on suspicion of causing the death of Edward
James Maids, her husband, by stabbing him in the side
with a knife on Monday, the 28th ult., at No. 4, Tower
street, Seven-dials.

Police Sergeant, 15 F, on be ing sworn, deposed that
about a quarter to six o'clock this morning he was on
duty in Seven-dials, and received information that a man
had been murdered, at No. 4, Tower, street. Witness
proceeded to the house, and made inquiries, but could
not obtain any information of the circumstance. The
front door being open he entered the house, and pro-
ceeded up to the third floor front room. On knocking
at the door a man came out, and in answer to witness's
inquiries said, that no person had been murdered in that
house, but that a man had been carried to Charing-cross
Hospital, suffering from a serious injury caused by an
accident. Witness went to the hospital, and was
informed that a man named Edward James
Maids was admitted on Monday evening last, athalf.
past five, and that he was suffering from a wound in his
right side, supposed to have been inflicted with a knife,
and that he had died from the effects of that wound yes-
terday morning. Witness upon hearing that returned to
No. 4, lower-street, and went up stairs and entered the
third floor front room, where he saw the prisoner in the
act of dressing herself. Witness retired outside till the
prisoner had completed her attire, and on entering the
room again, she was in the act of drinking something

from a glass. Directly she had drank she swooned away.
When she came to her senses, witness told her the nature
of the bu-iness that he had come about. The prisoner
replii.d. that "If sh- do that. God would punish her
for it, wit she did not know whether she had dune it or
not." Witness then told her to he cautious what she
said to him. She did not afterwards allude to the sub-
ject. On searching the room, witness found the two
knives now produced. He also produced the surgeon's
certificate, of which the subjoined is a copy:—
" This is to certify that Edward Maids was admitted
into this hospital on Monday evening, at half-past five,
having received a wound in the side, from the effects of
which he died on Wednesday, at half-past two o'clock
in the afternoon.

(Signed) " GEORGE MARTIN YOUNG.
" House- Surgc on,
" Charing Cross-hospital, July Ist, 1847."
Robert Knightsbridge said, he lodged in the same
house as the prisoner. He recollected hearing the noise
of prisoner and the deceased quarrelling, on Monday
afternoon. He wec.t upstairs, and saw the deceased
strike the prisoner and kick the child. Witness retired
to his own room on the second floor, where he had not
been many minutes before he heard the deceased cry out
" Oh, Bob, come here." Witness subsequently saw the
prisoner come down stairs with a bloody knife in her
hand. Witness became alarmed, and rushed
up stairs, in' o the prisoner's room, where he
saw the decease lying upon the child's bed, on the floor,
with a stream of blood flowing from a wound in his right
side. Witness immediately sent for a doctor, and hav-
ing procured some water, washed the wound. The
prisoner then entered the room, when the deceased said
" I am innocent of what you charge me with, and I freely
forgive you." Witness subsequently persuaded deceased
to be removed to the hospital, and previous to going,
the prisoner said she w,,uld tell the surgeon that deceased
had fallen over something and cut his side. The de-
ceased and the prisoner did not live happily together.
Witness once saw him throw her over the banisters,
and from what he had heard, he conjectured that jealousy
was *l,e cause of the prisoner's rash act.
,ner, seemed absorbed in the deepest
sorpo , •y anything in answer to the charge.
.•, remanded her till Monday next.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE GRAND DUKE OSCAR
OF SWEDEN.—A letter from Elsineur (Denmark) of the
21st gives the following account of a narrow escape of
Prince Oscar of Sweden:—" The Swedish frigate
Eugenie, on board of which the Duke Oscar Fredi.tick,
third son of the King of Sweden and Norway, serves as
sub lieutenant, has narrowly escaped being 'sunk. In
the afternoon of the 19th this vessel, which 'tame from
England, and which, favoured by a strong north wind,
entered the sound with great rapidity, ran against a
three-masted Norwegian ship, the Glommen, which was
anchored in the little bay of Hornbeck. The shock was
so violent, that all the prow of the Eug4nie was destroyed
and two of its masts were broken, and fell on the deck.
Fortunately no one was either injured or killed on board
the frigate, everybody having hastily descended to the
interior of the vessel on seeing that a collision was ine-
vitable. The Danish steamer Djerte, and the war
steamer the Smeloi, forming part of the Russian fleet,
hurried to the assistance of the Eugenie, and towed her
up to off Elsineur, where she will be repaired. Prince
Oscar Frederick disembarked at Elsineur, and after hav-
ing stopped some hours, took his departure for Helsing-
burg, in Sweden. The Glommen has also sustained very
great damage. At the moment of the accident there
were only five or six men on board, two of whom re-
ceived contusions."

LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.—OD Monday last the
anniversary of this highly-respectable social body was
celebrated at the Highbury Barn Tavern, Islington,
when about 3:0 members sat down to a dinner, which,
whether for quality or quantity reflected much credit to
the host, Mr. Hinton; Mr. James Burns, an influential
past president of the No. 7, Lodge, presided as chair-
man, as did Mr. P. S. Y. Wells, as deputy, and were
supported by a numerous body of past and present offs
cers, among whom we noticed P. S. P. Heath, P. S. P.
Waterlow, P. S. P. Shearing, P. S. P. Dearing, P. S. P.
Smart, P. S. P. Cobb, and P. S. P. Palmer, P. P. Bull,
P. P. Addison, P. P. Edmunds, P.- P. Hill, P. P. Mur-
den, P. P. Smart, P. P. Clowes, P. P. Watson, P. P.
Green, and P. P. Williams; Treasurers Cook, Benwell,
Pugh, Brown, and Hudson; Presidents Burgess, Coils,
Lee, Dongray, Nutchey, Burnett, and Watson. After
ample justice had been done to the good things provided
by the liberality of the stewards, the cloth was with-
drawn, when the chairman, Mr. Burns, gave in an ap-
propiate speech, " the Queen," which was received with
great applause; as was the "health of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family." The nex t
toast from the chair was " Prosperity to the Order of
Loyal United Friends," in doing which, Mr. Burns stated
that the order consisted of above 12,000 members,
among whom were many persons of great respectability.
P. P. fhacher then gave " Success to the Gift Funds of
the Order," this toast was acknowledged by P. S. P.
Heath, in a very neat speech, ,Qr. Heath informed the
company that although many thousand pounds was dis-
pensed annually in sickness and death, yet the Gift
Funds possessed more than 5,0001. in hand, and were
conducted very much to the satisfaction of the members.
The healths of the chairman and deputy were then given
amid great cheers, and, after several other friends had
addressed the company, and some very amusing songs
sung, the company adjourned to the pleasure grounds of
this rustic place, but re-assembled at eight o'clock, when
a ball commenced, which was kept up with good spirit
until nearly midnight when the party, which included
more than 600 lovely ladies, broke up, evidently delighted
with the day's proceedings.

DREADFUL StIIPWRECE.—By the recent arrivals
rom Quebec a most distressing shipwreck is announced
to have occurred in the River St. Lawrence to an English
ship, with the loss of 170 of its ill-fated passengers.
The vessel is called the Carrick, a brig between 200 and
300 tons burden, Captain Tnonipson master, belonging
to Sunderland. She was chartered, we understand, for
Irish emieration, early April last, by Lord Palmer-
ston, and left Sligo for Quebec in the latter part of that
month with a living freight of nearly 200 emigrants.
Previously she was properly surveyed by the Govern-
ment emigration agent, in accordance with the Pas-
sengers Act, and proved to be perfectly seaworthy tor
the expedition. The voyage, up to the time of the ship's
arrival in the river St. Lawrence, appeared to have been
as desirable as could be wished at that period of the
season excepting the sad condition of the emigrants,
most of them suffering greatly from fever. On the
night of the 19th of Islay she encountered a heavy
gale of wind, which, at about two o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning, drove her ashore on a dangerous
shoal, situate about sixty miles eastward of Cape Ro-
saries, where, in the course of two hours, she went to
pieces. The scene is described to have been one truly
appalling. Out of the 200 poor creatures, emigrants, on
board, not more than 22 weresaved. All thecrew,except-
ing one boy, succeeded in saving themselves by clinging
to the spars and boats. They were on the road to Quebec
when the information was sent to England. The vessel
is stated to be fully insured. Two other emigrant ships,
chartered by Government, were lost about .the 'same time
as the Carrick. One is the Imogine, George Foreman,
master, from Liverpool, and the other the Zenobia. The
Imogene, which was 348 tons burden, was wrecked five
miles south-west of the island of Scattarie, on the 20th
of May, by running ashore during a thick fog. She had
175 emigrants on board, who, fortunately, with the crew,
effected a safe landing. The Zenobia was lost off Nana-
dian . She had 300 emigrants on board, who were also
saved. The emigrant ship Miracle, recently wrecked off
the Magdalen Island, with 60 of her passengers drowned,
is stated to have been chartered by Government. The
same communication announces the following;—The
emigrant ship Loosthanke, from Dublin to Quebec, put
into Miramichi on the 11th of June, having lost 117
passengers by fever, and in want of medical assistance
and fresh provisions. The remainder of the emigrants,
350, were more or less attacked, and the crew were dis-
abled. The fever appears to have broken out on board
before the vessel's departure from Dublin, and spread
fearfully after she sailed. Immediately on her arrival
at Miramichi she was brought up at the quarantine
station, near the Middle Island, and the rest of the pas-
sengers landed, where temporary shelter was afforded
them in sheds and tents. There had been 40 more
deaths since the ship's arrival. Many others were ex-
pected.
TEE LATE GoVERNOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA.—
Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke, late Governor of Western
red the army as an Ensign in the Bth
iment in 1806, at the early age of 13.

both the Indies. In 1843 and 1844 he administered the
Government of St. Lucia ; on retiring from which
colony he was honoured by having her Majesty's ap-

, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 7'O THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very
animated. There was an advance of id. per lb. in the
quotations cf American, Surat, Brazil, and Egyptian,
the sales amounting to 18,000 bales, and including
12,000 bales of American at 6/cl. to 7 d., 1,000 of Per-
nambuco at 7/d. to Bid., 2,500 Surat at 4id. to 5/d.
Speculators took 6,000 bales American and 1,600 of
other sorts. In Railway Shares, as usual, when cotton
speculation thrives, business was not so brisk.
Accounts from Borneo state that the pirates in that
quarter had again been very troublesome, and that they
had made a descent upon the Island of Leper in 22
proas, and with 300 men, but were fortunately beaten
back with some loss.
The advices from various parts of the Continent con-
tinue very favourable in respect to the growing crops,
and in the more southerly countries harvest operations
are going on vigorously.
The state of business is still gradually improving, al-
though not yet brisk. Money for commercial purposes
has been rather more in demand, but the payment of
the dividends may shortly be expected to afford ample
funds.
The English Stock market appears to be in a very
uncertain position, as far as Bulls and Bears are con-
cerned. Neither seem disposed just yet to operate,
though the inclination certainly appears to be to invest
rather than to sell. The operators for a rise look for
support and encouragement to the prospects of a good
harvest, the easy manner in which the payments have
hitherto been made for foreign corn imported, and the
bare possibility of bullion for the purchase of stock being
received from Russia. The opposite party reason, of
course, per contra, that our harvest is not yet secured,
nor are the supplies we shall need yet paid for, and that
the Russian operation has long since been concluded
by the taking of a portion of the new loan con.
tracted for by Messrs. Baring, and the drawing
of bills of exchange. Indeed, the Bears even
insinuate that there is enough of the new loan
yet in the hands of parties who will be glad, at,,
existing rates, to deliver it on the account day. It is otaaa-1
