CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.

In reply to Mr. GOULBURN,
Sir G. GREY said he hoped the House would assent
to the third reading of the Charitable Trusts Bill this
evening.

Mr.-MILNER GIBSON said that he proposed to ask
the House to read the Manchester Bonding Bill a third
time on Wednesday, but he could assure the Hun. Gen-
tleman that the Bill was not the same Bill as when it
was originally introdoced.___

JAMAICA.

Our dales from this colony extend to the 22d of June.
Business, though not very lively, has evidently im-
proved; and there is no doubt but the periodical visits
of the American steamers from Chagres, with their nu-
merous passengers, contribute a life and spirit to the
city which it would not otherwise posseta.
The weather had of late been very favourable,
al-
though warm. Fine rains had fallen all over the coun-
try, and still continued in moderate showers when the
packet left.
The Jamaica Legislative Assembly was to open on the
27th June, and was looked forward to with some degree
of interest.

The intelligence of the vigorous proceedings of the
Protectionists of the mother country received by the
last packet, had raised the hopes of the colonists, and the
manifesto by Lord Stanley had afforded them great sa-
tisfaction.

Parties were still leaving Jamaica for Chagres and
Panama, en route to California; and many had also left
for Angostura, in Venezuela, where ' gold had been
discovered to be very abundant, especially iu the Juruary
River.

The Avon steamer, which arrived June 20th, from
St. Jago de Cuba, brings little additional intelligence
frem that island. The authorities were under undis-
guised apprehension of the invasion being renewed at
other points than that attacked by Lopez, and were
making adequate preparations for resistance.
The French islanus of Guadaloupe and Martinique
continue:l under martial law, in consequence of the
repeated acts of incendiarism committed by the la-
bourers.

The dates from llavannah are to the 26th of June.
The cholera, although it hsd not entirely disappeared,
was considerably on the decrease, and the fatal cases
were not so numerous as at first.

From Mexico there is nothing in addition to the news
already received via New Yotk. Our private advice!,
however, slate that the cholera was raging in that city,
and had extended very considerably into the inmost re-
cesses of the country, and as the proper mode of treat-
ment was not generally known, the fatal cases were ex-
tremely numerous. In the city several additional hos-
pitals has been established for receiving patients, under
guidance of the Sisters of Charity, who had rendered
themselves extremely usAul iu alleviating the sufferings
of their fellow-creatures.

Rain was sadly wanted. A severe drougbt prevailed,
and cattle had died by thousands for want of rain.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—JAMAICA.
(From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)

No improvement has taken place in the condition- of the
market since the date of our last issue; in fact. business
has been more than usually dull, while stocks generally
arc accumulating. The trade purchase very cautiously,
in expectation of it decline in prices. The flour market
is largely stocked, but holders appear to think that pre-
sent rates will be maintained, if not increased, in conse-
quence of high prices in the United States. The supply
of piel:led fish i 6 still enormous, particularly of herrings.
The stock of cod-fish is very nearly cleared, and prices
are looking up.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived.
The health of the Queen continued to improve.
The following is the official letter of the Queen'A
first physician to the President of the Council of
Ministers :

Signor President of the Council of Ministers,—Her
Majesty the Queen found herself, at the commencement
of the afternoon of yesterday, attacked with the symp-
toms of her approaching delivery. These symptoms
continued during the ensuing night and this morning
but slowly. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon I was enabled
to judge of the ex;ct position of the child, and I cattle
to the painful conviction that that position was most
unfavourable, and that au operation was indispensable.
Having consulted with my colleagues, whom I found of
a similar opinion, I proceeded to the operation, after
which bar Majesty, not without difficulty, gave birth to
'a child of the male sex, apparently strong and robust,
but, according to all appearances, deprived of life.
Without losing a moment the new-born iefant was
baptized, sub conditioue, and then all the resources of
science were applied iu order to produce symptoms of
vitality, but without success. Divine Provhicoce did
not deign to crown our efforts. Her Majesty the Queen
supported courageously the pains and the danger of the
critical moment, and she is now in a satisfactory
position, which I hasten to announce to you, penetrated
with profound, grief caused by this unfortunate event.

On the motion of Lord BEAUMON r, the report on
this Bill was received, and the third reading was fixed
for Monday.
The Vestries and Vestry Clerks Bill passed
through Committee.
FACTORIES BILL.
Earl GRANVILLE moved the third reading of this
Bill, and did not feel ca'led upon to enter again into the
arguments which had ben so often repeated in the
former stages of the Bill.
The Puke of RICHMOND moved that it be read a
third time that day six months. He was at a loss to
isumpraieni the conduct of those Noble Lords who op-
poiel him, and who, although they admitted that the
operation of the existing Act, while it had been in force,
had been productive of the greatest possible benefit,
still were for altering it so as to lengtnen the hours of
labour. Under the Bill as it then stood tho dinner
hour of the operatives should be deferred, and the
Consequence of that would be, he feared, that they
would‘ be driven to the beer-shops for a stimulus.
Their Lordships must know by experience that it
was not very agreeable to have people's dinner hour
put off, and he always perceived that a greater number
of peers left the House at halt-pat seven o'clock than
at any other time.—(A laugh). Oa a former occasion
he had thought it his duty to oppose the proposal of his
Noble Friend on the cross beaches (the Earl

rowby)
fur extending the operation of the measure to
children, because the adoption of that proposal would be
equivalent to the introduction of an entirely new prin-

WItEcE. OF A STEAMER ON LOCK LOAIOND.--GLAS-
GOIV,.FRIDAY EVENING —We regret to announce an unfor-
tunate accident on. Loch Lomond. About three o'clock to-
day the Pilot, one of the steamers carrying excursion pas-
sengers up the loch, while making a trip, suddenly struck on
a sunken rock, within a short distance of the shore near Ross
Point, south of Rowardenman. The shock was so violent
that many of the passengers were upset on deck, and the
greatest alarm and excitement prevailed. The sensation felt
by those on board was as if the vessel was being sawn
asunder. The first shock was so sudden that the machinery
was not stopped, and no sooner had it been felt than another
succeeded. The alarm now felt was greatly increased. The
Pilot immediately afterwards reached deep water, and the
captain, with great presence of mind, steered the vessel direct
for the shore, which he succeeded in reaching without dan-
ger, bringing the steamer aground in the bay between Ross
Point and Rowardenman. We are happy to hear that no lives
are lost. The Pilot is the property of Messrs. Burns, the
owners of the ill-fated 01 ion, which was lately wrecked on
the rocks oil Portpatrick.

ANECDOTE OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.--:•The
charities of the metropolis, the Art-Union (,1 Lomb n, and
many other bodies associated for useful purposes, have sus-
tained a great loss by the death a H.R.11. the Duke of Cam-
bridge. The council of the Art-Union, on Tuesday, when
the announcement of his death was made to them, anjourned
the meeting, in token of respect and sorrow. The following
anecdote of the Duke, illustrative simply of his Royal High-
ness's manner, will probably not be considered out of place
at this moment. Very early in the morning of the first day
after the private view of the British Institution Exhibition
in 1549, Mr. Godwin era: alone in the Gallery, when the
Doke of Cambridge emend with one of his suite. The
Duke kindly recognized him, and spoke as to two or three of
the pictures. Ultimately the Duke came to a very dark'
painting by Danby, which some of our readers will recollect,
called "A Highland Chieftain':i Funeral." " That's a bad
picture," said the Duke. "Well, sir," replied his auditor,
I am sorry to differ from you, but I don't think it a bad
picture." " You don't think it a bad picture? Now, I in-
,
sist on your telling me why it isn't a bad picture." " Why,
sir, if
you'll permit me, it is so and so, and so and so; and,
Inoreover it is ver oetical." " l'Getical, is it ?" rejoined
the Duke, with a sly lapugh ; " ah ! yes, poetical; that means
YOU Min have it in you yourself, and I haven't."--Builder.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1850.

No circumstance could more remarkably have il-
lustrated the" justice of our observations on Thursday
upon the want of the proper recognition of the ser-
vices performed by great public benefactors, than the
announcement simultaneously made of the paltry
pensicn of 1001. per annum bestowed upon Major
llnnr,EuT EDWARDES by the East India Company.
Considering the serious injury inflicted in battle
upon the right hand of that illustrious soldier, he
would, even under the most ordinary Circumstances,
have been fully entitled to that miserable pittance.
Had the Directors in Leadenhall-street retained the
slightest sense of propriety they would simply have
granted that pension ol a hundred a-year in conse-
quence of its recipient having been thus severely
wounded. But, as if to point out their
egregious incapability of betraying anything
like munificence, the proceeding was intimated
as having been adventured upon " in consideration
of,the eminent services" of Major EDWARDES. Never
was recompense more pitiably disproportioned to the

achievements of a great public benefactor. If it be
borne in recollection that the young officer to whom
3-this wretched little annuity is dedicated has been
Amaiuly instrumental in aggrandizing the territorial
", possebsions of the Company by a vast and fruitful
rent of land like the country of the five rivers—An
accession of dominion extending over a larger space
Wien that occupied by Great Britain itself—the in-

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he had stated early in the session that be proposed
to apply 250,0001. to psy off the annuity cf what was
called the Equivalent Society in Scotland.

EXCISE SUGAR AND LICENCES BILL.
Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
object of this Bill was two-Lad—first, at the time the
duty on colonial sugar was reduced, no reduction was
made on excise sugar made from beet-root, and the in-
tention was to reduce the duty oa home-grown produce
to the same amount as that made from colonial produce.
He proposed to put such a duty on sugar used in bro iv-
cries as would render it equivalent to the malt.
The Bill went through Committec. Rnport to be re-
ceived on Mond=iy

REVIEW OF MARKETS.

(Unless specially stated to the contrary, long or duty-
paid prices are always given, and aro to be considered as
wholesale prices.)
Flour—We have heard of a sale of 370 barrels Phila-
delphia flour at 325. Smaller lots of Baltimore are
being moved at the same rate.
Meal-170 barrels Philadelphia have changed hands,
at 17r.
Rice—The stock of Carolina is enormous, and the
market quite stagnant. Holders, however, are firm at
18s., but the trade refused to operate thereat. East
India has been sold at 145., but that rate cannot now be
obtained.
Butter—Sales of Philadelphia to the extent of 170
kegs have been made at 71d. The market still continues
heavily stocked with Irish, for which only 10d. is offered.
Bread—Wattson's pilot is moved at 18s., and crackers
at 225., in small lots as wanted.
Mackerel—The stock is very heavy, and more than
28s. cannot be got, at which rate the article is dull.
Herrings—lt:main as last reported.
Alewives are scarce, at 225.
Oil—The market is overstocked. Cod remains at 21,
2d., and whale and lard haie been sold at the same rate.
Lard is very inactive notwithstanding that the stock
has diminished to a considerable extent. The large
quantity of lard oil at market checks the consumption of
this article as soon as prices are attempted to be raised.
Not more than sd. per lb. can be got fur it.
Codfish—Last sales were 13s. per cask, and 16s. per
box.
Salmon is wanted.
Polk—Mess is taken at 68s. to 70f.; prime is almost
unsaleable at 545.
name—American change hands at 3d. to 6d. per lb.,
and Lancashire at Bd. The market is largely supplied,

DENMARK.

By accounts dated Altons, July 16, we learn
that—A proclamation has been publhed in Copan-•
hag,en, announcing that the Holstein forces crossed
the Schleswig frontiers ; their head• quarters were at
the town of Schleswig. The Danes have advanced
as far as Hadersle'oen.

Count Eulenberg, one of the Commission of Admi-
nistration in Schleswig under the armistice, left
Flensburg yesterday to return to Denmark across the
Islands.

The Russian squEdron was seen yesterday cruising
off the town of thittebiiii, a little to the north of the
mouth of the Schlei.

The Swedish neutral troops were to have marched
out of Angelen last night and to-day ; they will be
embarked at Flensburg : in the latter town and in
Apenrade quarters had already been engaged fur
them.

Tha intelligence from the Northern Duchy will
principally consist of accounts of the movements of
troops. The armies are approaching each other. The
town of Flensburgh is now nearly the middle point
between the respective head-quarters.

ENGLISH AND IRISH UNIVERSITIES.

The adjourned debate on English and Irish Universi-
ties was then resumed by
Mr. R. PALMER, who called the attention of the
House to what had transpired on the last occa-
sion. The Noble Lord (Lord Juhn Rus-
sell) had stated, to the surprise of the
llouse that it was his intention, without reference to any
vote which might be come to by the House, to
advise her Majesty to issue a Commission, to in-
quire, not into all the universities mentioned in the
present motion, but into the universities of Ox-
terd and Cambridge. They had to deal with two
distinct classes of corporations—the universities which
were corporations of a. public nature, and colleges which
were regarded as corporations of an entirely charitable
nature. •

Tt,e Duke de Rivas has declared to the Nea-
polion Goverem,lit, that he was determined to remove
fri,m the gate of his hotel the arms of his sovereign, and
to demand hie passport!, if the marriage was concluded.
WV►ll this incident lead to the definitive abandonment of
the marrag, ? The general opinion is that it will not;
and if, es there is reason to bdieve, this marriage is de-
cled upon in the mind of the King, after a certain time
► given for the exchange of explanations, it will take
place. War cannot arise out of it, and the relations
existing between the two powers, exchanging appear-
ances of friendliness for those of coolness, will very in
form without varying in the groundwork."
The Conservatore of Florence, of the 10th, quotes
a letter from CivitaVecchia, stating that to judge from
the fortifications erected by the French in that port, it
would seem they were to occupy that position long
after the evacuation of Rome. Independently of the
cannon placed in the forts of Bicchiere and Michael
Angelo, they have erected works on the land side as
if they expected a siege. Between the Porta Ro-
mana and Porta Corneto, they have crowned the
bastions, with a double row of gabions, and also placed
gabions on the town-side. Captain BERANGER of the
navy, has taken the command of the port. A large
number of French non-commissioned officers, picked
from various regiments, have arrived at CivitaVecchia
to undertake the drilling of ti e Pontifical troops.
Cardinal VANNICELLI CASONI, Archbishop of Fer-

WAR WITH SPAIN.
(From the New York Weekly Herald.)
So it seems that Mr. Clayton and the present
cabinet are determined to have a war, that is if we
believe them, with some foreign power, and that
Spain is the one selected. Several of the organs
of the Cabinet in this metropolis, made
the announcement on Saturday, detailing
the positive information that the Secretary of State
regards a rupture with Spain almost unavoidable, in
consequence of the disputed questions growing out of
the recent invasion of Cuba, under the command of
Lopez and his pirates, or patriots, as the case may be.
In the Tribune we find the following dispatch :

" PROBABLE WAR BETWEEN SPAIN AND TEE UNITED

STATES.

" Washington, Friday, June 14.
" The Secretary of State has received dispatches from
General Camptell, our Consul at Havannah, informing
the Government that the Count of Alcoy (Governor-
General of Cuba) peremptorily refuses to surrender the
Contoy prisoners, although proof was clear that they
chipped for Chagres, without an intent of participating
in the expedition.
"Mr. Clayton has dispatched instructions to General
Campbell to make an unqualified demand for the pri-
soners, and in the event of another refusal, war will be
declared against Spain.
" Mr. Bulwer has given assurances that England will
not interfere, considering the course of the United States,
thus far, unexceptionable.
" Mr. Clayton now evidently regards a rupture with
Spain as unavoidable."
If this singular announcement appeared in the
Tribune alone, the editor of which is in Washing-
ton, we might, out of pure charity, consider it a re-
vival of the celebrated Slievegammon intelligence,
which was communicated through the same chan-
nel, during the attempted revolution in Ireland,
about a year ago. But this intelligence comes to
us from Washington, not on Slievegammon authority
alone. It is corroborated, to a very considerable
extent, by a more cautious, but equally warlike,
announcement in the Courier and Enquirer, of which
the following are the principal points, the one corro-
borating the other as to what the Cabinet would like
to do, had they the power :

and the Marquis of WESTMEATH, the additional clauses
were agreed to, and the Bill was read a third time, and
passed.

- The Earl of CARLISLE said the amendments were
too ♦oluminou. to admit of its being sent down on
Friday. Oa Monday there was no Mister in Chancery
in attendance, and on 'Tuesday the Commons bad ad-
journed in the morning.

spect and regret they feel at his sudden demise, he having
been the Minister who first established the system in this
country, notwithstanding the opposition shown to it by
party feeling. The Metropolitan Police are determined not

would be, I imagine, diminished in value more than
from 20 to 25 per cent. ; whilst I think the latter
would be from 50 to 75 per cent., which is an im-
portant consideration on a structure costing from
100,000/ to 200,000/. The circumstance of the new
street, now in progress from Buckingham Palace to
Westminster Abbey, running close by the square is, I
deem, greatly in favour of the proposed site, besides
tending greatly to improve all the property between
that and the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham
Palace, &c. The elevation towards the Vauxhall-
road I should propose to be similar to the design I
submitted for a gallery over the Waterloo bridge,
which I imagine would be equal for appearance to
any building in the metropolis, not excepting the
Houses of Parliament. THOMAS MOTLEY.
Stangate, Lambeth 7 mo. Bth. . .

P.S. If the following objects are deemed desirable,
viz., great economy, proximity to the Houses of Par-
liament, Buckingham Palace, and the City, with the
convenience of water conveyance, and good roads of
communication, and tendency to promote improve -
ments, then I think the site proposed is pre-eminently de-
serving the serious consideration of the Commissioners
and the public, especially as, with due arrangements,
ample space may be obtained ; and thus, instead of
injuring and incommoding the park, tend most mate-
rially to improve a portion of the metropolis which
has hitherto been much neglected ; I, therefore, think
the site superior to any obtainable spot either in or
round the metropolis.
