ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS took Consent Causes
to-day, but nothing of interest to the public was involved in
any of them.

THE SPANISH EXPEDITION.--The first division of the Se-
cond Regiment will sail from Portsmouth early next week,
under the command of Major Ellis. The Third Regiment is
commanded by Major Sloane : their appointments have been
changed from the line to the Fusileers. The Sixth Regi-
ment, raising in Scotland, will be commanded by Major
Beatson, under Lieutenant-Colonel Tupper : they will have a
mixture of the Highland dress with their uniform. The
standards of the legion, of which twenty-four are ordered,
are of silk, a yellow horizontal stripe between two red ones,
upon which are emblazoned the royal Spanish arms, supported
palm branches, and surmounted by the crown, the number
of the Regiment being beneath. Motto—" Legion Britannica."
It is edged round with a deep gold fringe. These standards
are considerably smaller than those used in our service. A
spear is affixed to the head of the pole. There are now six
regiments simultaneously preparing for departure.
A mushroom was taken from a field at Fulford, on
Sunday last, measuring two feet eight inches in circumfer-
ence, and eight inches in breadth. It was brought to York,
and served four persons for their relish at the breakfast table.—
York Chronicle.

NEW LAW FOR MEASURING SHIPS FOR TON-
NAGE.-We have great pleasure in announcing that a Bill for
altering the present mode of measuring ships for tonnage, will
s'ieedily be brought into Parliament under the sanction of Go-
vernment. An interview with Mr. Poulett Thomson, as Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade, was obtained by the Glasgow de-
putation appointed to manage this business, on Saturday last,
and the result was highly satisfactory.—Scots Times.
LAUNCH OF THE STEAM-SHIP BRITANNIA.—
We yesterday accompanied down the river the Directors of
the General Steam Navigation Company, whose packet, the
Royal Sovereign, was elegantly fitted up for the occasion, to
witness the launch of the new steam-ship Britannia, from the
yard of its builders, Messrs. Fletcher and Fearnall, Union
Dock, Limehouse. She is a vessel of MO tons, and built ex-
pressly for the Rotterdam station. The new vessel has many
alvantages over her predecessors. She has been constructed
with a view to avert and surmount the dangers and difficulties
which frequently occur from the shoals and sandbanks of the
Rotterdam river. This advantage is to be obtained by an ex-
ceeding light draught of water, and great swiftness—two
excellencies, indeed, rarely combined. After the launch the
Company's packet proceeded on a short excursion down the
river. A cold collation was given on board. The loyalty of
the true British hearts assembled on this occasion was also
proved by the hearty shout which greeted the appearance of
the Duke of Cambridge, who, with his Duchess, and the
Prince, attended in a Trinity barge to witness the launch.
Among the guests of the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany on board, we noticed the Right Hon. G. R. Dawson,
G. R. Robinson, Esq., M. P., G. F. Young, Esq., M. P.,
E. G. Stanley, Esq., M.P., G. Cayley, Esq., M.P., 0.
Gore, Esq., M. P., Colonel Fairman, E. H. Locker, Esq.,
the First Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital, &c.
Lamartine observes, in his new " Pilgrimage to the
Holy Land," that, " for a painter, these sketches may contain
interest." We would extend the interest to all those who,
though not painters, relish the beauties of this bewitching art
—who can realize the endless series of charming landscapes
so vividly set before them in these pages. The " Pilgrimage"
hag, however, other higher objects, religious and philanthropic ;
but we must c01.w.,t ourselves with merely recommending tl.e
Work as one filled with exquisite descriptions of scenes and
manners that can never fail to interest the reflective, the ima-
ginative, and the pious. The translation is extremely well
executed.

DEATH BY LIGHTNING.—On Thursday morn-
ing, as a boy was sitting on a bench at the door of a cottage
in Lealholm, near Whitby, he was instantly struck dead by a
flash of lightning.
On Friday evening, as Mr. Bendall, Jun., of West-
gate.street, Bath, was returning from Sodbury market, he was
stopped on the road near Tolldown, about nine o'clock by four
ruffians.
During the past week the walls of this town were
plentifully placarded with large bills, announcing the intended
commencement of a new Tory coach, to be called " Sir R.
Peel." The Tories were in extacies at the homage thus in-
tended to their idol, by the coach proprietors. Unlucky
souls 1 They seem to have been born under a most fickle
planet, so liable are they to disappointment. It appears it
suited not the taste of all the proprietors to give the name of
" Sir R. Peel" to the new coach, seeing there was no chance
of its being supported, and accordingly it was very intelligibly
hinted that they should withdraw from all connection with it,
if the Right Hon. Baronet's name was attached thereto.

The farmers in the moorlands are still complaining
of the frosts with which our mornings have been slightly
whitened, and it is said that potatoes in exposed fields are show-
ing the effects of its nipping influence.—Scots Times.
EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL IN PARIS.--The trial
of La Ronciere, an officer of the French army, for an out-
rageous assault committed upon a young lady, Mademoiselle
Morell, the daughter a General and Governor of a military
school, of which the accused was a pupil, after lasting some
days, terminated on Saturday night in the conviction of the
accused, and his condemnation to ten years' imprisonment and
the costs of the prosecution, which must be very considerable.
The charge was that the prisoner, to be revenged upon the
father of the young lady, for having been turned out of her
father's house, although his conduct towards her mother fully
merited such a degradation, broke into her chamber at night,
beat and frightened her so seriously that she lost her reason.
The young lady had, however, lucid intervals, in one of which
she was examined, and proved the case against the prisoner.
His accomplices were acquitted.
Yesterday, a fine male child, about seven months
old, dressed in a pink frock, a black silk cloak, and a hat,
was brought to Lambeth workhouse by two policemen, who
stated that it had been left at the station-house in the Water-
loo-road by two boys, who said that they were at play in Brad-
street, Cornwall-road, when a woman asked them to hold the
child for a few minutes, while she called at a house in the
neighbourhood. She gave them each a penny and left. The
boys took care of the child for two or three hours, when, on
seeing no more of the woman, they were advised to leave the
child at the station-house. By order of the superintendent
they were directed to carry it to the parish workhouse.
The novel of the season appears to be the Hon.
Mrs. Norton's brilliant production, " The Wife." Few
writers exhibit so strikingly the combination of power with
refinement; and were we compelled to cite a specimen of the
elegance to w4iph the present age has attained in instructive
fiction, we should certainly name these volumes. Mrs. Norton
has hitherto been distinguished `bY'her poetical cpmpositions ;
the position she is likely to take among prose writers will not
lae less exalted.

Lord and Lady King (late the Hon. Ada Byron)
are gone to spend the honeymoon at Ockham park, his Lord-
ship's seat, near Ripley. Report states that Lady Noel Byron
gave her daughter a dowry of 30,000/. in cash. Lady King
will also inherit the considerable estates of the Wentworths in
Warwickshire, which are possessed by Lady Noel Byron,. as
the heiress of the late Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel, by the Hon.
J,:dith Noel, eldest daughter of Edward, first Viscount
Wentworth.

We have to retold the demise of the Right Hon.
Lady Ashburton, which took place at her Ladyship's residence
i❑ Great Stanhope street, on Wednesday the Bth instant. By
her death the Right Hon. Lord Cranstoun comes into a
splendid fortune, as his Lordship not only succeeds to all her
Ladyship's estates, but likewise those of the late Lord Ash-
burton.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.—Their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by
their son and daughter, Prince George and Princess Augusta
of Cambridge, visited the Thames Tunnel, with their suite,
yesterday. The Royal party went by water, and were re-
ceived on landing by the Chairman, B. Hawes, Esq., and the
Directors of the Thames Tunnel Company. At the Tunnel,
Mr. Brunel, the principal engineer, the resident and assistant
engineers, conducted the Royal visiters to the extremity of the
works, where they minutely inspected the shield (Prince
George actually entered into one of the boxes). Mr. Brunel
explained the mode of operating with it, and the nature of the
work, &c. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards partook of a
collation prepared for them in the visiters' archway, and pre-
viously to retiring expressed their gratification at the sight of
the works, and also expressed their hopes for the completion
of the Tunnel. The workmen, and a large concourse of per-
sons assembled, greeted with three cheers the distinguished
visiters on their leaving the Tunnel. The illustrious visiters
afterwards proceeded to Blackwall.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The favourite gala of
the season occurred last night, and, although the weather was
not peculiarly favourable, thousands were delighted with a
scene at once brilliant and unique. It was the Juvenile Fete.
The arrival of the little visiters commenced at an early hour,
and it was highly amusing to observe the impression produced
on them on their entrance. The walks were crowded by thou-
sands of children, many beautiful by nature, and all "bedecked
with all a mother's pride ;" while in every principal station,
and, in fact, in every nook and corner, some attractive and ap-
p: o--,1 late device is -variegated lamps or transparency height
ened the effect. The entertainments were wisely adapted to
the patrons of the night. The illuminations were extremely
beautiful. " Welcome, Young Friends," was the most pro-
minent ; but it almost met with rivals in the illuminated pic-
tures of "Jack and the Bean Stalk," 6' Little Red Riding
Hood," " Puss in Boots," Punch and Judy," and "Jack the
Giant Killer." In addition to the usual entertainments five
infant tumblers exhibited, and a pyramid of five balloons
ascended, to the astonishment and admiration of the critics of
the night. The juvenile band of the Military Asylum also at-
tended, and this miniature of martial music appeared to afford
very high delight. At ten o'clock the alarm rung, and the
fireworks and the splendours of Versailles completed the won-
ders of the night.

A numerous meeting of the inhabitant householders
of Blandford took place on Thursday last, for the purpose of
petitioning the House of Commons, to include this town in one
of the schedules of that excellent Bill now before the House,
for the Reform of the Municipal Corporations of England and
Wales, when resolutions and a petition to the House were una-
nimously agreed to.—Sherborne Journal.

The Corporation Wines, alluded to in our last as
having been distributed among the individual members of that
body, have caused no little remark and inquiry, the result of
which has been the raising a question as to whether, as indi-
viduals, they had personal interests in that which is on all
hands admitted to be Corporate property. Among other
things, it is contended by the savans that they might, by a
parity of reasoTtig, sell any Freehold, Leasehold, or other
property, and divide the proceeds among themselves in like
manner.— Sherborne Journal.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY B.—The
bags sold yesterday only reach the trifling number of 1,500.
Judging from the present depression there is every reason to
anticipate a further decline, especially in inferior qualities.
The better sorts maintain themselves, notwithstanding the pre-
vailing dulness. 1,240 American went off to-day at 1 od. to
13d., 100 Bahias at 14d. to 14id., 60 Maranhams at 15d.,
and 100 Surats at lid. to 81d.

My NEIGHBOURHOOD, BY THE AUTHOR OF
THE COLLEGIANS."—The powers of this writer have been
alrerkaoy ar nt
lY established and tried; few can have forgotten
his
written tale " The Collegians." His present
work consists various tales in every mood, from the broadest
humour to the deepest pathos—all fresh, fitful, and characte-
ristic.b beautifully-written
In the descriptive passages he has the eye of a painter,
and we had almost added the pen of a poet. In the portraiture
u odcou
of the lower orders, of the half- educated Irish Gentleman—of
the reckless and wilful, the humorous and tragical—all which
spring up like grass from a teeming soil in his pages, as they
do in Ireland. The work is worthy of all praise. We feel
justified in saying that itsperusal will afford unqualified pleasure.
ST. PANCRAS.—The population of this parish
having very considerably increased during the last five years,
and the existing churches not being sufficient for their accom-
modation, it has been resolved, with the approbation of the
Bishop of London, to erect a new church ; the whole ex-
penses and maintenance of which are to be defrayed by volun-
tary subscription, and at no cost whatever to the parish. A
memorial having been addressed to the Lords of the Trea-
sury for a grant of Crown land, their Lordships have signified
his Majesty's gracious consent to the appropriation of a va-
cant spot in Clarence-strevt (Pr that purpose. The sum re-
quired will l;?e from §,p091!
10,Q00/. of which 3,0001. and
iipWard; have already been subscribed.
On Sunday morning week, at Scarb9rough, as a
person of the name pf Taylor was preparing to go to the
Baptist chapel, he was seized with a violent cough, which
caused a blood-vessel to break,
in consequence of which he in.,
stantly expired.

It is understood that Lord Durham is to leave
England in the course of next week for his mission at St. Pe-
tersburgh. As the Emperor will not have returned to his ca-
pital from the camp at Kalisch, and from the conferences by
which the reviews are likely to be followed, until towards the
end of September, his Lordship will probably avail himself of
the interval to extend his sea-voyage, by proceeding first to
Constantinople, and afterwards to Odessa or Sebastopol,
whence he will travel to his destination. The Noble Lord
finds maritime excursions peculiarly beneficial to his
health, and he will avail himself on this occasion of
every opportunity of inhaling the fine breezes of the Eux-
ine. It is but justice to the Russian Minister at our
Court, the Count Pozzo di Borgo, to state, that the moment
he was informed of Lord Durham's wishes in this respect, or
rather indeed of the recommendations presented to his Lord-
ship by his physician—the Noble Lord being, in fact, only
lately convalescent—his Excellency took immediate steps for
apprising the authorities on the Russian coasts of the Black
Sea of Lord Durham's intentions, with a view to the adoption
of such measures as may. be deemed necessary for receiving
his Lordship everywhere in the most distinguished manner.
Lord Durham, in passing up the Bosphorus, may probably be
induced to spend a few days at Therapia. his Noble Friend
and relative, Lord Ponsonby. It ;s expected in the diplomatic
circles that Lord Durlt'..Ta!s mission to St. Petersburgh will
solve some Yery important difficulties, which have for some
time served to complicate the relations between Great Bri-
tain and Russia.—Morning Chronicle.
bust' CORPORATION BILL.—We are in a posi-
tion to be able to state almost upon authority that it is the
intention of his Majesty's Government to introduce,
.and to
pass, the Bill for the Reform of the Irish Corporations, if
possible, this session. Except with regard to Dublin this
will not be so difficult a measure as people a few years ago
were apt to think. It is possible, indeed, that the case of
Dublin, as well as that of London, will be postponed to next
year, and that these cities will be made the subject of separate
Bills.—Dublin Evening Post.
