BRISTOL SUGA.R.MAIMET, JUNE 23.—Scarcely any
business has been transacted in our sugar-market this
week, and until the duty question is settled, wo do not
look for any
improvement in the demand.—Bristol
Mercury.
In consequence of the writ for the borough of
Horsham, and the withdrawal of Sercy Shelley from the
field, Lord Edward Fitaalan Howard has offered himself
as a candidate for the suffrages of the electors, and is
engaged in carrying on a spirited canvass with every
prospect of success.

The editor of the Borsenhalle writes that the
Prussian Minister, CAMPHAUSEN, has resigned, and
that intelligence has been received of the Russian
army having been ordered to invade the Prussian
territories.

The following also appears in a Berlin paper :
" Certain information has been received, that the
march of the Russian army into Prussia will take
place within the next few days, by the way of
Czenstocho w.

" Pontoons have been forwarded to the banks of the
River Prosna, to enable the troops to effect a crossing,
and the avenues to the same through Poland are
occupied by immense masses of troops.
"Numerous battalions of Landwehr are ordered to
assemble in Upper Silesia; and the fortresses adjoin-
ing the Russian-Polish frontiers are to be put in the
most perfect state of defence."

There is no further intelligence of importance from
Schleswig, but a battle is daily expected to take place.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of Saturday.)
A rumour has been for some time current that an ex-
change of commands is about to take place between his
Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge and Lord
Frederick Fitzclarence. We are in a position to give
the most positive contradiction to the rumour. It is en-
tirely destitute of foundation.
We understand that it is decided that the distinguish-
ing marks on the shell jackets hereafter to be worn by
officers in substitution of the frock coats, are to be—for
Subalterns, one ring of gold lace round the cuffs; for
Captains, two rings, and for Field Officers three rings.
The Admiralty, in consequence of the reports from
the respective Captains and Commanders on the defects
of their ships proceeding to foreign stations, have im-
pressed on the Superintendents of the various Dock-
yards the necessity of directing their particular attention
to all vessels fitting being in every respect perfectly
completed for sea before leaving port.
The Admiralty have directed steps to be taken at
Plymouth to procure a sufficient space of ground to be
converted to the purposes of a ball court for the exercise
sod amusement of the Plymouth division of Royal Ma-
rines.

Our anticipations last week, with respect to the " haul-
ing down" nomination of Vice-Admiral Sir Francis
Austen, K.C.8., have turned out to be correct. Instead
.f his son having been promoted, on his nomination to
he rank of Captain, his Flag Lieutenant and nephew
has been promoted to the rank of Commander.
COAST GUARD BATTERIES.—The Admiralty have
ordered materials to be supplied for Sheerness, Port,-
mouth, and Devonport Dockyards, for the erection, in
he respective neighbourhoods, of drilling batteries for
the Coast Guard Force.

Captain H. Chads, who recently paid off the Styx
,team-sloop at Woolwich, adopted a very efficient plan
of distilling sea water for useful purposes. Mr. Grant
has been ordered by the Admiralty to inspect and report
upon the process.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
OPENING OF THE METROPOLITAN EXTENSION.
The extension of this line to Waterloo-bridge will
be opened to the public on Saturday next. It is
understood that the first experimental trip will take
place on Wednesday, and the Government inspector
will survey the line on Friday. The following is a
brief account of the works :—The undertaking was
commenced in July, 1846, the contract having been
taken by the Messrs. Lee, who engaged to complete
the works by the Ist of July this year. Mr.
Thompson has acted as sole superintendent on
the part of the contractors, and Mr. Curliew, on
behalf of dr. Locke, the engineer. The length of
the new line is nearly two miles and aiquarter. The
first quarter of a mile is carried over an embank-
ment, then succeeds a viaduct, consisting of six
massive iron girder bridges and three hundred arches
(exclusive of those forming the present station in
the Waterloo-road). These arches, which are
expected to form a very considerable item in the
receips of the company, have been so carefully con •
strutted as to be easily applicable to various purposes,
and their perpetual dryness has been insured by the
application of the Seyssel asphalte, which has rendered
them impervious to wet.
There are four distinct lines of rail, and the quan-
tity of iron alone consumed in laying down what is
technically called the " metals," is at least 1,200
tons, independently of about 800 tons weight con-
sumed in the erection of the bridges. In the con-
struction of the viaduct and station in the Waterloo-
road upwards of 80 millions of bricks have been
consumed ; and the present terminus, which is all on
arches, covers a space of three quarters of an acre of
ground, its width being 260 feet. The major part
of the present terminus has been coated with the
asphalte, so that the arches on which it rests may
with safety be made use of as storehouses, &c.
The whole of the permanent way is laid down and
ready for the trains to traverse ; but the stations,
both at the Waterloo-road and Vauxhall are not yet
completed, although, being for the most part wooden
erections, their completion may be considered as
certain at the lapse of three or four days.
To the present terminus in the Waterloo-road there
are no less than four approaches for carriages and
foot passengers, the pedestrians having in each ap-
proach footpaths eight feet in width. At Vauxhall
station there will be only two entrances.
The stations at both Waterloo-road and Vauxhall
will be only temporary.
The fares on the main line are to be increased as
follows :—First class, 6d.•' second class, 4d. ; third
class, 2d. The trains will run at the present fixed
times.

Nine Elms station is to be closed entirely to,pas
senger traffic.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—After an abundant fall of rain,
we have had several days of favourable weather, in
which great progress has been made in cutting, making,
and securing the hay crop. A considerable quantity of
hay has been housed •on the early lands about
Liverpool; and the hay grass is cut very generally
throughout this country. In Lancashire the yield
of clover and rye grass will be heavy, and that both of
upland and meadow hay will be very good; but the
accounts of the yield are not so favourable for the
South and Midland Counties. The grain crops con-
tinue to improve, and give promise of a good and un-
usually early harvest. Potatoes and turnips now look
very well ; and though we have heard of two or three
instances of the appearance of the potato disease, yet
there is no reason to believe that it is general, or even
extensive. There is a great abundance of strawberries,
raspberries, and gooseberries ; but only a moderate crop
of apples, damsons, and the larger descriptions of fruit.
—Liverpool Times.
WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.--.Nearly five inches of
rain has fallen up to this period in June (the 21st), so
that the crops are recovering amazingly from the effects
of the drought and heat of May. The corn crops are
now safe, as far as regards moisture, and should July be
warm and dry, the harvest will be very early, and one of
the most abundant ever known. Potatoes never looked
better; a great breadth has been planted this year. Small
fruits, such as strawberries, currants, gooseberries, and
raspberries, are an abundant crop; but the apples, pears,
and plums have again tailed in many localities, from the
attacks of insects.—Slieffield Iris.
NOTTINGHAMSHIRE .—The wheat plant is looking
very promising in most districts in this vicinity, and
many broad acres are in full head; the straw is rather
short upon clay lands. Barley begins to feel the
effect of the genial showers, and the farmer may ex-
pect an average crop. Beans look very healthful,
but are, in general, short upon the straw. The crops
of seeds and grass are -heavy, and considerable quan-
tities of both kinds have been cut during the present
week. The farmer is busily engaged in getting in his
turnip seed, and the weather is all he could wish for
such an operation. The potato plant is looking strong
and healthful, and hopes are entertained that an abun-
dant crop will be gathered, as the diseaes seems to have
worn itself out, and a much greater quantity of this
useful vegetable has been planted this year.—Nettings
ham Journal.
LEICESTER.—We have had some fine rains during the
week, with rather a high temperature; these circum-
stances will accelerate the growth both of corn and grass
crops. Haymaking has commenced, and some fine
weather would be very acceptable. Rain fallen in the
week ending on Wednesday evening, the 21st, 0,99
inches. Barometer, lowest, 29.73; highest, 30.10.
Thermometer, lowest, 50; highest, 76, in the shade, be-
tween 8 A.H. and 8 P.M.—Leicester Journal.
THE WEATHER AND CROPS IN SCOTLAND.—Too much
of one thing is said to be good for nothing, and farmers
say that we have certainly had too much rain of late
to be good for anything. Still the crops look
well, and with favourable weather would undoubtedly,
in our district, be above an average in respect of bulk.
The winter wheat will not be so bulky as it at
one time promised; but oats and barley, where
the braid came well away, have seldom looked
better. Beans are decidedly better. Potatoes
have come up well, and have a vigorous appear-
ance, but of course that is no securiiy against the
old disease at a future stage of their progress. It is
somewhat singular that, prior to the introduction of the
rot, great difficulty was experienced in getting the po-
tato to vegetate freely, and farmers were put to consi-
derable trouble and expense in procuring seed from all
sorts of outlandish districts, as it was found that those
grown in late and high localities, and if among peat so
much the better, throve best, and were less subject to
curl. Now, however, provided the seed be sound and
good, little attention is paid to whence it comes, as all
seem to grow equally well. Turnips have not brairded
very readily, and in some localities have been much in-
jured by the fly.—Scotsman.
PROSPECT or THE CROPS.—After about a fort-
night of heavy and continued rain, with slight thunder,
there is, at the time we write, a prospect of fine settled
weather. The barometer indicates " fair," and the at-
mosphere is dry and warm. This will enable parties to
proceed with the hay-making, which has been retarded,
whilst the crops already cut, have been discoloured
and injured. The autumn sown wheats have burst into
ear, but are certainly not generally looking so well as
last year; at the same time, a great breadth having been
sown, we do not apprehend any deficiency; on the
contrary, humanly speaking, the favourable prospect in
the United States and Canada renders it probable that
the price of this important article of sustenance will in
the autumn bq even lower than it is at present. The
Lent grain has recently improved beneath the genial in-
fluence of the recent showers, and beans and pease pro-
mise well, which, after the total failure of last year, is
cheering. Apples will not be so abundant as was at one
time expected, but pears will probably offer a plentiful
crop. Potatoes offer a plentiful crop. Potatoes look as
well as we ever remember, although there is a slight talk
of the disease here, and our Presteign correspondent,
who gives us a very minute detail of prospects in that
neighbourhood, says that there has been a great cry out
about it in that quarter. lie trusts, however, that it
will turn out to be nothing more than talk. The hop-
yards of this county look well, and we observe, as well
from the state of the markets as the reports, that the
same is the case in the other extensive hop growing dis-
tricts.—Hereford Journal.

1 ROYAL NAVAL FEMALE SCHOOL, RICHMOND.--
The annual examination of this excellent institutio❑
took place on Tuesday, the 20th instant, in the presence
of the Right Hon. Earl Manvers, President; Vice-Ad-
miral Lord W. Fitzroy, Sir Henry Baker, Bart., Ad•
miral Hope, the Hon. Captain Maude, Commander
Beechy, Captain R. Williams, the Countess Manvers,
Lady Fitzroy, Ladies Baker, Phipps, Scott, Maude, and
the gentry of the district. The pupils, 82 in number,
were examined in history, geography, geometry, French,
and drawing, principally-, by the Rev. J. Hales, minister
of the parish, and acquitted themselves with great eredit
to their teachers. But one of the most striking features
of the examination consisted in the performance of the
musical classes under the direction of Mr. W. C. Selle,
illustrating the results of a system of simultaneous musi-
cal tuition invented by that gentleman, which has been
attended with the most pleasing results. About forty
young ladies, after having passed through a rigorous
examination on the theory of musical composition, pre-
needed to its practice, and performed in class with re-
markable precision and neatness of execution, from tin.
works of Osborne, Handel, Mendelssohn, Nlozarr, and
Czerny, and we cannot but regard the effectiveness el
their performances as indicating the complete success or
Mr. belle's system, which seems to promise the most
splendid results whenever it can be adopted in accord
ante with circumstances auspicious to its full develop
ment. After short addresses from the' Rev. J. Hales
and the Hon. Captain Maude, the proceedings termina-
ted with prayer.
ILLNESS OF THE PAIN C E DE JOINVILLE.—M.
Pasquier, late surgeon in ordinary to the Orleans family,
has just been summoned to Claremont to give an opinion
as to the health of the Prince de Joinville, who is said
to be labouring under a disease of the liver, the origin of
which is referred to his stay in Africa. A great aggra-
vation of his malady has lately occurred, produced, it is
said, by suddenly hearing of the decree of banishment
lately issued against his family.

DIABOLICAL ATTACK BY A
GANG OF BURGLARS ON TWO MISERS.
DEATH OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
YORK, SATURDAY MORNING.—In the village of
Warthill, about five miles north-east of this city,
most atrocious attempt at double murder has been
perpetrated. The unfortunate victims of the brutal
outrage were a quiet, hoffensive, and respectable
widow lady, named Newlove, upwards of seventy
years of age, and her son, Thomas Newlove, an un-
married man, between forty and fifty years of age.
Jointly and separately they were possessed of con-
sidereble property, and adopted the foolish plan of
being their own bankers, as much as 1,5001. being
kept in their miserable abode. They lived in the
most penurious manner, so much so as to follow the
practice of seldom, if ever, retiring to rest until their
neighbours, in the natural course of things, would be
getting up; the strange object of their strange life
being to watch their hoarded wealth. About eight
o'clock on Monday morning, a labourer, who was in
the habit of milking the cow and doing other little
jobs for Mrs. IN; ewlove and her son, called at the
house as usual. The back door was opened, and
on entering a passage leadirg to the front kitchen
he was horrified on perceiving her lying on the
ground, apparently dead, and a quantity of blood
about her. The man immediately raised an alarm,
when, upon the neighbours assembling, a search
was made for the son, who was shortly afterwards
found outside. His head was sadly beaten in, and
blood was copiously flowing from the wounds. Me'
dical aid being procured, the extent of their injuries
was in some degree ascertained. An iron candle-
stick was found in the passage, which had evidently
been used in the murderous affray. It was covered
with blood and hair, and had apparently been bent
by the force of the blows inflicted with it upon the
heads of the poor creatures. On a further examina-
nation, it was quite,,clear that they had made a vigor-
ous effort to escape from their murderous assailants,
which the state of the passage confirmed, pools of
blood being visible in several parts. Mrs. Newlove
in some degree subsequently recovered her senses, and
from what could be gleaned from her, the ruffians
were three in number. They had contrived to 01”
tain an entrance into the house by a back window,
and the robbers, believing that the son had fled to the
village to give an alarm, decamped without obtaining
any of the hoards they coveted. The police, bow'
ever, discovered 1,3001., chiefly in notes, in different
parts of the house, and 173/. secreted in a shaving' •
box. In one of the rooms were several rolls of notes
tied round with thread. This morning the police
received intelligence of the death of Mrs. Newlove,
who had sunk under the dreadful injuries she re-
ceived. No trace of the ruffians has yet been
obtained, although the police have been scouring the
country for miles round.

---
ELECTION OF SHERIFFS.
On Saturday a Common Hall was held for the
election of sheriffs. The assemblage of liverymen
was unusually small, the office of the shrievalty
having stirred up no man's ambition in the present
excited and unpromising times. On the contrary, !II
applications to gentlemen to serve have, it is
failed; and the two who were elected will, according
to the general opinion, rather submit to the several
penalties annexed to refusal, than enter upon the
duties of the office.

At one o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by
several of the aldermen, the sheriffs, and the princi-
pal city officers, proceeded from the Court of Alder•
men to the hustings, and the business of the day was
immediately commenced.

The COMMON-SERGEANT came forward to officiate
in the room of the Recorder, in consequence of a
heavy family affliction. The Learned Gentleman
having addressed the livery upon the nature and lin'
portance of the privilege they were about to exercise,.
Deputy SELSON stood forward for the purpose 01
requesting that the meeting should not call upon
Alderman Finnis to serve until next year, on account
of the recent election of that gentleman to the office
of Alderman.

The livery ♦ery readily excused Alderman Finn?
and Alderman Lawrence, upon the ground of their
late appointment to the magistracy of the city of
London.

Their were several names of high commercial emi'
nence then put up, but, as if by previous arrange'
ment, scarcely a hand was held up until the names of
Mr. C. P. Bousfield, citizen and weaver, and Mr. J.
R. Mills, citizen and fishmonger, were raised upon
the board, and then every one raised his hand and his
voice too, and the two unconscious citizens were
elected amidst loud applause and laughter.
The Chamberlain was then re-elected, as were some
of the inferior officers.

A statement of the Corporation accounts was then
read, which, however, want of space precludes us from
publishing.

The Sheriffs having made their return to the Court
of Aldermen, the hall was dissolved.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.
A Court was held. After the return by the Sheriffs
of the proceedings of the Common Hall, the Court
proceeded to consider the petition of Mr. Thomas
Wood (late Alderma,n of Cordwainers' Ward), and
Mr. George Martin, chief clerk in the City Solicitor's
office for the situation of chief clerk in the Guildhall
Police Court. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, had also peti-
tioned the Court for the office ; but he withdrew upon
being informed that he would not be permitted to
practise in bis profession if elected. Mr. Wood was
elected by a majority of three over Mr. Martin.—Ad'
journed.

The Chairman and Court of Directors of the Batt
India Company paid an official visit to the Chinese JUL'
on Friday last. The directors arrived in their respec-
tive carriages, attended by several of the officers of the
company, about five o'clock; they remained on board
about an hour, and appeared highly gratified with the
novelty and interest of the exhibition.
THE KELLYS AND THE O'KELLTS.—A genuine
Irish novel has long been a rarity, and we are glad to
see that Mr. Trollope, whose knowledge of Irish life has
been amply manifested by his previous productions, bas
announced one under the title of" The Kellys and the
O'Kelly's, or Landlords and Tenants," from which the
public may be led to expect a picture of society and
manners as they exist in the Sister Kingdom which cat.
not fail to amuse, and is very likely to astonish, the
reader. The peer and the peasant, the heiress and the
beggar, the rich agent and the poor proprietor, the
sporting parson and the gentleman blackleg, are said to
figure in the story with such vividness of portraiture 118
to excite the impression that they are taken from ex.
isting originals.
The fire annihilator is a small machine of the size
