TIIE LATE MR. J. SCHOLEFIELD.-It has been else-
where our painful duty to record the decease of
Joshua Scholefield, Esq., one of the
.Members for
Birmingham. The character of this gentleman will
be best recorded in the hearts of those in private life,
who well knew his worth, and the warmth of heart
.and zeal he manifested in ivorks of a benevolent cha-
racter. It is to be feared that the life of Mr. Schole-
field was brought to an earlier close than might have
been expected,- inconsequence of the intense mental
anxiety he felt as to, the results likely to ensue from
the passing of a Bill which was read a third time on
Thursday night last in the. House of COmmens, within
about six hours of. the lamented gentleman's decease.
' It is well known.to those who have watched the Par-
liamentary career of the late Mr. Scholefield, that from
its commencement to its close, the exertions of the
Hon. Gentleman
,were 'identified with opposition to
the fatal errors of the builioniots, on the very im-
portant, and, indeed, as it will be yet proved, all im-
portant question of the currency. This matter pos-
sessed to his active and intelligent mind, an all-ab-
sori,ing interest ;- and by those who were associated
with him in similar views of our monetary system,
neither the zeal -nor the good will, tlid'spirit nor the
energy of his incessant exertions in opposingthe Bank
Charter Bill can 'ever be forgotten, or adequately
acknowledged. As a practical and long-experienced
' merchant, he knew the misery inflicted by the mea-
sure he opposed in 'its hearing upon the producing
classes; and he could feel, it is evident, for those Who
were'the subjects of that misery ; he had witnessed
it in the ruined fortunes, and, as he often expressed
himself, "in the broken :hearts" it had produced.
If to the Catalogue of disastrous incidents asso-
ciated with the -Mental solicitude occasioned by the
Government measure .now introduced into the
House of Lords, we- are to add his own accelerated
demise, we must inscribe then name of one more good
man upon the roll of those whose days, like the late
Lord Liverpool's, have been shortened by the entan-
glements of, that maze of difficulties, the monetary
measure of the year eighteen hundred and nineteen.

I ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL MAIL
STEAMER THAMES.
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.
The Thames steamer, Lieutenant Philip Hest, arrived from
the West Indies this morning, at half-past four o'clock.
The dates of departure of the Thames are from Tampice,
24th May; Vera Cruz, June 1; Demerara, 4th ; Jamaica,
Bth; Havannah, 9th; Grenada, 10th; Nassau, 13th,; St.
Thomas, 14th ; Barbaddes, 18th; Berinu'da, 20th.
Among the passengers is Major Hill, of the Ist West India
Regiment, who is the bearer of important dispatches from. the
Governor in. Chief of the Leeward Islands.
:The Medway left Havannah 9th of June, -for Vera Cruz ;
the Severn was to sail from Bermuda for Nassau and Ha-
Vaiinah, 21st ult.
FREIGHT.-1,430,000 dollars 161,650 of which on -account
of the Mexican dividend. 91 serons of indigo; 203 ditto
of cochineal; •9 boxes of vanilla; 20,000. dollars' worth of.
pearls; 883 ounces of gidd dust.
The Thames left at Vera, Cruz her Majesty's sloop Rose.
Her Majesty's ship Pique sailed from Vera Cruz on the 25th
of May, for. Tampico, llavannali, and Bermuda, with specie.
Vice-Admiral ;2ir Charles Adam was at Halithx.- . The Illus-
trious, line-of-battle -ship, had been sent by the Admiral to
Havarmah, it was said to demand an explanation respecting •
the imprisonment of several British subjects on account •of
the late disturbances in the island, as well as all free Oo-
loured British subjects having been peremptorily ordered off
the island of Cuba, to the rum of many of them.
Colonel Thompson, the American Commissioner, who had
arrived in Mexico-with, it was said, important dispatches
concerning the annexation of rexas to the United States, was
to have left Mexico on the 28th of May, and his place was •
taken in the diligence for Vera Cruz, but on the morning he
was to leave, an order was sent from the Mexican Govern-
ment that his fare should be returned to him, as no answer •
could be given to the dispatches, of which he was the bearer,
until- the arrival of -Santa Anna in Mexico, who would cer-
tainly arrive on the 3d of June. •
A report was current that the United States Government
had offered five millions oLdollars to Mexico, as-the price of
its acquiescence in the proposed plan of annexation..
Much excitement ',prevailed among the English, in con-
sequence of an English gentleman by the name of Lloyd
having been shot through the arm by one of the sentinels on
duty at the Palace, for no other cause than hiS Walking on
the pavement before the Palace—a walk not prohibited to
the Mexicans. -Our Minister, Mr;Bankhead, had with. great
promptitude interfered, and the soldier, as well as the officer
on guard, had been placed in arrest.'
Serious, disturbances took place in Dominica, originating
in oppositioo' on the part•of the -black population, to the
census which was ordered to be taken on the 3d of June, and
which-they imagined be be a preliminary step to re-esta-
blishing slavery. The negroes collected in considerable num-
berS,-asSaultiag the enumerators and commissioners, and se-
verely beating the magistrates who hastened to give their
assistance in explaining the meaning of the census. In the
neighbourhood of the town of Roseau, martial law having
been proclaimed in the island,- the tumults soon ceased, the
people being awed -by the presence of an armed force; but
in the distant party of the:island, where this could not be so
soon done, the mob made use of their power to sack several,
houSes; ultimately, being oppo.sed by the militia, they dis-
persed. About 100 persons were in. gaol, on the departure of
the packet; waiting their trial: The Governor of the Lee-
ward Islands, Sit 'Charles Fitiroy, had • arrived in her Ma-
jesty's ship Inconstant, Capt. Fremantle, and it was supposed
martial law would cease immediately. About eight of the
insurgents were killed and wounded. Two hundred men of
the Royals were dispatched from Barbadoes, tinder the com-
mand of Lieut.- Col: Archer; on the•intelligence reaching that
island. -
HAYTI —The ex-president . Herard, finding himself de-
serted by his troops, embarked at Port au Prince for Jamaica

His ROYAL' HIG lINESS PRINCE ALBERT..—ThiS
day, at half-past twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, attended by a single equerry, drove
to Messrs. Christy and Marson's auction-rooms,
King-street, St. James's-square,• to view some very
celebrated pictures on sale this afternoon. The ar-
rival of his Royal Highness was quite unexpected.
The- Prince entered the rooms almost unobserved, and
seemed to examine several of the paintings with much
attention—the view of Florence, by Canaletti;
" Susannah and the Elders," by Guido ; " The
Woman taken in Adultery," by Titian ; and two pic-
tures by Teniers, seemed most particularly to attract
his Royal Highness's attention. There were several
persons in the room, who remained covered during
the Royal visit, and very properly kept quite away
from the Prince. After remaining about half an hour
his Royal Highness was attended to his carriage by
Mr. Manson.
