of Mr. Damon.

FESTIVITIES AT THE MANsI ,N HOUSE —We are in-
formed that his Royal highness Prince Albert has accepted
the Lord Mayor's invitation to the forthcoming banquet to
the Presidents of the Royal Society,and other distinguished
literary and scientific institutions in England. The enter-
tainment is appointed to take place in the Egyptian-hall, at
the Mansion- house, on Friday next, and will doubtless prove
one of the most magnificent character. On the preceding
day (Thursday) the Lord Mayor entertains the members of
the Court of Common Council, and on Saturday his Lord-
ship gives a grand entertainment to his Highness Ibrahim
paella and a large circle of the nobility.
THE COBDEN TRIECTE Fr :cp.—The subscriptions up
to yesterday eyening amounted to 22,0001.

Lord Joins RUSSELL has) by his subsequent nomina-
tions to office, placed the liberality of his Government
and the generosity of his intentions beyond all possible
suspicion. He has disdained the promptings of con-
ventional prejudice, insular prepossessions, and reli-
gious partialities; he has acted upon those funda-
mental principles upon which arose the gloriousßeform
and Catholic Emancipation Bills ; he has
kept pace with that civil and religious
tolerance for which the present generation
will in future ages be regarded as so memorable ; and,
in doing so, Lord JOHN RUSSELL has ensured to him-
self the earnest and lasting attachment of all classes of
people in the British dominions. Amongst
the members of his Government it will be
especially observed that no invidious dis-
tinctions are drawn between men of dif-
ferent religious opinions; and, in accordance
with that rational and dignified policy with which the
name of the new Prime Minister has been so long
and so intimately associated, several eminent
men of the Roman Catholic persuasion
have not, on that account, been deemed un-
worthy of becoming his associates and of serving
their common country. By acting in this manner
Lord JOHN has demonstrated that his Cabinet is con-
ducted on the grand and humanizing principle of civil
and religious liberty; and by so doing he has, more-
over, rendered the inaugurative act of his Administra-
tion the medium of performingjustice towards Ireland.
For these. reasons, and from the noble competition
which must now ensue between a man who spoke
with reference to that island as Sir R. PEEL did in his
retiring oration, and a man who acts as Lord JOHN
RUSSELL has acted at the very first instant of his
coming into power, we can already recognise the
dawn of social reorganization, domestic improvement,
agricultural prosperity, manufacturing activity, and
agrarian justice to Ireland. " Her star is but rising
while others have set!" Nor are the Minis-
terial arrangements the only testimony of the return
of peace and happiness to that hitherto distracted and
neglected country. As it is now tolerably certain
that our beloved SOVEREIGN will, during the course of
a brief period, pay her long deferred visit to Ireland,
and that throughout the royal progress that
august Lady will be attended by a dignitary of
the empire holding a community of faith with its
Roman Catholic population, the liberality, and saga-
city, and wisdom of the present Administration re-
ceive a material assurance. May the policy of that
Government, with reference to the other multiple
grievances which still rankle in the social system, '
equal the benignity and justice which we are so san-
guine it will display towards Ireland.

him as Solicitor- General, and afterwards as At-
torney-General, as he now does as Lord Chief
Baron. Mr. Pm:yr entered the House of
Commons as Member for Clonmel. He favour-
ably distinguished himself in Parliament, his elo-
quence being very great and his manner most per-
suasive. After vacating the office of Attorney-
General, he adopted the rather unusual course of re-
turning to his circuit. Such a proceeding might
have been opposed, but Mr. PiGoT was universally,
popular with his circuit brethren; his kind and conci-
liating manner, and the friendly regard he manifested
on all occasions for the junior members, having gained
him the cordial esteem and respect of all the bar,
many of whom, although opposed to him in politics,
would have gladly hailed his elevation to the bench,
which he was so well qualified to adorn. His promo-
tion will be extremely popular both at the bar and
through the country.
Mr. MOORE, the new Attorney-General, is a man
of large private fortune ; he had been originally of Tory
principles, but having yielded to the signs of the times,
and arrived at sounder political views, he was appointed
Solicitor-General shortly before the advent of the
PEEL Ministry to office in 1841. He has long been
looked on as one of the principal Chancery barristers,
but unlike his great rival (Sergeant WARREN), who
alone equalled him in extent of business, did not
confine himself to equity practice. He has repeatedly
received the highest compliments from the late Lord
Chancellor SUGDEN, who, it must, be admitted, was
by no means inclined to pay them, if not fully
deserved.

The Solicitor-General, Mr. MONAHAN, obtained
the science gold medal in Trinity College, Dublin,
where he had obtained the highest honours all
through his undergraduate course. He also got into
immediate practice at the bar, where he has since
highly distinguished himself. He succeeded Mr.
PIGOT as law adviser at the Castle, which has
generally proved the stepping stone to the bench.
His appointment, like the others, will be hailed with
much approbation, and no one can say that he is not
eminently qualified for the discharge of the duties of
the important office for which he has been selected.

Accounts from Rome, of the 28th, state that Cardinal
Gizzi has been appointed Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, and Cardinal AMATI Minister of the Interior.
Both these Ministers are moderate Liberals, and these
appointments are considered by the Constitutionalists as
the forerunner of a temperate reform.

Intelligence from Lisbon of the 30th ult. has arrived.
The Miguelites who had made their appearance at
Chaves had dispersed on the appearance of the troops
which had been sent against them. The 7th Regiment
of Infantry had been sent to Oporto, and the Govern-
ment was quite prepared to put down any further at-
tempts that might be made by the Miguelites. The
Miguelite rising is attributed to the intrigues of the
Cabrals, acting in collusion with the Court of Spain,
and with its representative at Lisbon, GONZALES BRAVO.
The object of the intriguers is to give Spain an excuse for
send ing an armed force into Portugal, for the purpose event-
ually of uniting Portugal to Spain. The Spanish Heraldo
contains a long article advocating an armed intervention.

Madrid papers to the 29th ult. have been received.
A grand Te Deum was sung in all the churches on the
28th, in celebration of the election of the new Pope.
The 29th being a fete, the Bolsa was closed.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The
change of Ministry in England and the approaching
general election in France are the only topics com-
mented on.

The Epoque publishes the following letter from
Oran:—

" °LAX, JUNE 25.
" A boat arrived on the 22d ult. from Djemma-Ghazaouat
with important dispatches from General Cavaignac, which
brings news of great interest. Some Arabs, for the most part
belonging to the tribes which have actively participated in
the butchery of Sidi-Brahim, had taken advantage of the mo-
mentary absence of the General, who had gone in the direc-
tion of Morocco to attack the detachments occupied in the
works of the road from Ghazaouat to the frontier. Our
troops immediately discontinued their works, and, concen-
trating themselves, sent off couriers to General Cavaignac.
The latter, with the column under his command, succeeded in
making a counter-march in such a manner that the enemy
found it impossible to avoid a combat, which they had them-
selves been the first to provoke. More than 500 Arabs were
driven towards the sea, and there were called upon to sur-
render. They refused to lay down their arms, however, and,
in consequence, the whole of them perished; some killed by
our soldiers, all the others were drowned."

The Toulonnais of the 2d publishes letters from
Algeria of the 26th ult., which represent Ann-EL-
-LEADER auil But, DIAZA as fugitive 3 deserted and de-
spised by their countrymen—the Arabs and Kabyles as
annihilated—and the French rule in that province as
securely established.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

THE SUN PAPER.—We feel much indebted to the
spirited proprietor of The Sun paper for forwarding to this
town, through that enterprising news-agent, Mr. Westley,
express editions of that paper on Monday night last. We
received a copy of Monday's Sun shortly after nine o'clock
on Tuesday morning, containing Sir R. Peel's speech, a full
report of the entire debate on the Ministerial resignation,
and other important news, being nearly ten hours before the
arrival of the intelligence by any other channel. Papers
were also sent to the various public reading-rooms; and the
early information thus given was viewed with much satisfac-
tion by the great body of the subscribers.—Plymonth •nd
Devonport Herald.
SUDDEN DEATH OF THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF
THE COMMON PLEAS.—We regret to record the sudden and
melancholy demise of that most excellent and universally
esteemed judge, Sir Nicolas Conyngham Tindal, Knight,
Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. The
melancholy event took place at his seat near Folkestone last
night. For the last three or four days the Learned Judge
had been suffering under a severe attack of constipation of
the bowels, with which he was first seized in the House of
Lords on the occasion of his attendance being required on the
hearing of some important appeals, upon which the judament
and consideration of the judges was required. The attack
was not, however, so serious as to create any alarm, and no
apprehension of his recovery was entertained until yesterday
afternoon, when the Learned Judge was again attacked with
the complaint in so serious a manner that Dr. Penington, who
was in attendance on him, was compelled to announce that
he could not,entertain any hope. The attack continued,
baffling all medical skill, until death put an end to his
sufferings., in the presence of his family and medical atten-
dants. The Learned Judge held the office of Solicitor-General
in 1829, in which year he was created Chief Justice of the
Common Pleas, on the retirement of Lord Wynford, then Sir
William Draper Best, Knight. Since his appointment his
attention to his judical duties have been unremitting.
FEARFUL ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN CUMMING'S GROOM.
—This morning between the hours of ten and eleven, an
accident of a most fearful character, and which it is ex-
pected will terminate fatally, occurred to a youth named
William Parsons, about sixteen years old, groom to Captain
Cumming, of the Coldstream Guards. It appears that the
unfortunate lad was mounted on a very spirited animal be-
longing to his master, and just as he got opposite the United
Service Club, in Pall Mall, was thrown on the stones with
great force, the horse going down at the same time and
breaking one of his hind legs. The injured youth was at
once conveyed to the Charing Cross hospital, where it was
ascertained by Mr• George Cheeseman, the house surgeon,
that he had sustained very serious injuries about the head,
besides a fracture of the left arm; and it was considered that
amputation must be resorted to. He remains is a most pre-
carious condition.

aTt QUARTER DO THREE.
'the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was &did.
Sales 7,000 bales, including 500 bales of American for ex-
portation, and 500 on speculation. Shares continued quiet
for the most part, but the favourite scrips and shares were
maintained in value.

There are no arrivals to-day with late intelligence of any
particular interest, and electioneering matters cause the chief
bustle at present observable.
The state of affairs in the Peninsular is such as
to excite still score doubt of the future position of
that country, especially as regards its " financial
difficulties," for, undoubtedly, such it has now to
encounter. In this position it is curious to hear
of an intended application by the Bank of Lisbon to the Bank
of England, for the loan of a large sum, said to be as much
as a million sterling, although as to the chance of the appli-
cation being successful we are not at present advised. Even
now, if the Lisbon Government applies itself vigorously to the
task, there is some hope of the national treasury being re-
plenished, though the preservation of public tranquillity is
indispensable to the collection of a direct revenue.
The market for English Investments has been very steady;
the advance of yesterday being fully maintained. Consols
for the Account, as well as for special transfer, have been
95% to 95%. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been
14s. to 175., and firm. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have realised 971/s to 97%. Bank Steck has been
supported at 208, and East Indian Stock, ex. dividend, has
been quoted 26114.
There is very little passing in the Foreign Market, and the
quotations, though firmer, are almost nominal. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have been 4714 to 48, ex dividend. Brazil
Stock is 851/2 ; Mexican Bonds have improved to 27 and
27k.
Shares are not very active, but they continue firm. We
understand that the Richmond Railway Company has been
taken up by the South-Western, and that its stock will rank
as South-Western Stock, without any distinction.

BENTLEY'S MODERN LITERATURE.—THE LETTERS
OF Hoe. Act WALPOLE. The First Part, price 3s. 6d., of this
cheap and elegant series of copyright works, just issued by
Mr. Bentley, comprises the far-famed "Letters of Horace
Walpole" ( to be completed in six volumes), embellished with
fine portraits of Sir Robert Walpole, and Catherine Shorter,
his first wife, and Dorothey, Viscountess Townshend. "We
have seen no more acceptable series of cheap literature than
that which Mr. Bentley has commenced, for it gives us cheap..
ness without any sacrifice of convenience or comfort. The
works appear with such elegance of paper and print as to fit
them for the most luxurious library, and at a price which
places them within the range of persons of moderate fortune.
The e3e is not wearied by small print and crowded pages
Instead of imperfect wood-cuts, we have steel plates ex-
ecuted in the best style of art. We are glad that the pub-
lisher has commenced the series with the inimitable letters
of Horace Walpole, a correspondence which, for lively wit,
shrewd appreciation of character and thorough knowledge of
English parties at an important period of history, has no
rival is the whole range of the world's literature."—The

VAGRANTS, ENGLAND AND WALES.--From a return
just laidupon the table of the House of Commons, relative
to the number of vagrants received into union workhouses
of England and Wales, during the years 1841,
1842, 1843,
1844, and 1845, it appears that the total number of unions
in the counties of England and Wales, amounts to 480.
In 1841, there were received into them 93,985 men, 24,095
women, 43,577 of the males being between 18 and 40. In
1842, males 162,163
(78,995 between 18 and 40), and 33,889
females. In 1843, males 241,665 (112,533 between 18 and
40), and 40,831 females. In 1844, males 252,558 (118,280
of whom were between 18 and 40), and 39,837 females. In
1845, males 247,377 (116,725 between 18 and 40), and
39,539 females.
