possible alarm ; but wishing them on some particular
occasion to take a road different to that which they have
selected for themselves, he tugs at the string somewhat
too strenuously—and off go his party, and he is left alone,
cursing his infatuation in ever having consented to lead
them ! This dilemma has certainly not yet befallen our
Tory. pig-driver, but let him carry out his free-trade
theories a little more boldly, and there needs no great
sagacity to predict that his pig will leave him in the
lurch long before he reaches his journey's end. The
awkward truths blurted out by the Tories the other
evening, in the House, when he was absent at Windsor
Castle, is a proof of what he has to expect, if he tugs
too strongly at the string which binds him to his party !

The Paris journals contain long leading articles on
the dissolution of the Chambers. The Journal des De-
bats, after praising in high terms the principles on which
the Cabinet have acted, and particularly during the last
session, thus appeals to the electors :
The electors will do well to elect, without paying atten-
tion to a mere shade of politics, a majority I which never al-
lowed shades of opinion to operate wnen it was necessary to
rescue the country from the disastrous consequences of the
errors of M. Thiers. Mere shades of opinion never dissolve
a majority its disunion must have its origin in rivalries,
personal passions, and envenomed pretensions; and of these
there has been none in the majerity of October 29. But this
majority—we do not tear to declare it in the face of the
whole country, and thereby render justice to the Ministry—
this majority, we say, owed much to the firmness of the Ca-
binet, the union of its members, and the simple, frank, and
straightforward conduct of the Government. During the
two last years have we had those internal debates, which have
upset more minorities than votes of the Chambers ? The op-
position of ten raises an outcry against the exclusive spirit of
the Cabinet, and accuses, particularly M. Guizot of acknow-
ledging no other shade of opinion than his own, and of prescrib-
ing it mercilessly to others. Facts reply victoriously to this
calumny, for what Cabinet ever showed itself more favourable
.to the spirit of conciliation than the Cabinet of October '25 ?
What Ministry has laboured more happily to unite together
real conservators and good citizens of every shade, without
demanding from any person the sacrifice of his opinion?
Does not the very composition of the Ministry offer an
example of enlarged conciliation? In questions, where
some dissent manifested itself amongst the majority—in that
of electoral reform for instance--the Ministry proclaimed
loudly their police; but in doing so, did they exclude the
majority, did they treat as adversaries those who, on this, spe-
cial question, professed a different opinion ? With whom,
then, was it that Ministers ought to have formed an opinion ?
Was it with their sworn enemies? With M. Thiess? with M.
Odilon-Barrot? There was onle one line of reconciliation
open—that of the Conservative party—and the Ministry
adopted it both in their own body and in the Chamber. By
their own example they inculcated union, the sacrifice of
particular, interests for the general good, and the giving up
of small matters to achieve great ones. In a word, for two
years France has been governed, and let the electors not forget
that she is so, because there has been not a confusion of par-
ties—that would he a political chaos—but the drawing together
of the elements of the same party, a united Ministry and a solid
majority. At present the country has her destinies in her
own bands, to be strengthened or destroyed as she pleases.
This majority, which has saved France, may be consolidated,
or may be dissipated into dust. Let her make her choice;
but, in doing so, let her not forget that majorities once de-
stroyed are not reconstructed, except under the pressure of
some grand danger, or some political calamity. Nothing is
more easy than to maintain the present majority. Nothing
would be more difficult than to reconstruct after having once
dissolved it. For our own parts, we have confidence in the pa-
triotism of the electors, and we reckon on the sound reason of
the country.

The Opposition journals generally take a very differ-
ent view of 'the late Chamber, and, far from recommend-
ing that :the electors should reform it on the old model,
urge them to infuse as much Radical blood as possible
into the new body. The Courrier Francais, in its
language on this occasion very much resembles its con-
temporaries of the different shades of Opposition, who,
however disunited in other things, are cordially agreed
in their efforts to overthrow the present Ministry.
The Constitutionnel disapproves of the period of the
year which has been chosen for the dissolution. It thinks
it ought to have been delayed until August, so that the
convocation of the new Chamber might have been for
November, for the dispatch of business, thus complying
with the constitutional law, .which requires that a new
Chamber shall assertible within three months after the
dissolution of the former Chamber. •

The following are the only other extracts worth notice

A violent thunder-storm broke over Brest on the 10th, with
hail of enormous size, which broke the windows and the slates
of the roofs. The lower streets of the city were under water,
the quays were transformed into furious torrents. A young
woman, carried away by the waters, was taken from a sewer in.
a deplorable condition, and expired in a few minutes. The port
of Brest also suffered. The roofs over the vessels that are laid
up are damaged by the hailstones, some of which were twenty-
seven millimetres in diameter. The roof of the Jean Bart is
perforated like a sieve. A great number of windows and slates
are broken, principally at the Pavilion of the Maritime Engi-
neers, the Naval Museum, and the Mast Magazine. Nineteen
hundred panes of glass were broken in the Military Hospital.—
Le Constitulionnel, June 16.

M. Schultz, a German mineralogist, has discovered a rich
mine of trieksilver in Bosnia. Specimens have been sent to
Constantinople and examined by M. Paulin, Chief of the Ad-
ministration of the Mines, in the presence of a scientific Com-
mittee, and they ate acknowledged to be of the best quality.
Pau and its environs were, on Thursday last, visited by a
terrific thunder-storm, attended with an immense fall of rain,
and with hail-stones of such a size that the crops in many
places were entirely destroyed. In the town itself the damage
was chiefly to the windows, hundreds of which were broken.
A child, who was returning from the school, was however so
much injured by the hail that his life was for ashort time almost
despaired of. _ _

The south and west of France are almost entirely,
rendered
desolate by the long and extreme drought. The 'Bishop of
Rennes, and other prelates, have ordered prayers to be put up
for rain.— Galignani's Messenger.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The same uneasy feeling which had pervaded the market the
whole day continued unabated at the close of business. The
best prices of Consols were 912 911 ; Reduced, 91% 914 ;
Bank Stock 167 16S; Exchequer Bells bearing the interest of
"id. per day, 46 48 ; and those at 2d., 40 42 premium.
Scarcely any thing was done in Foreigit Securities ; Belgian
remained at. 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
52% 52i ; the Five per Cents., 101 1011; Danish 801 811;
and-Brazilian 66 67.
Shares were very flat, and generally lower, although the
prices appear unvaried. The total absence of all speculation
for a time will fully account for this apparent contradiction.
The declaration of forfeiture for a large number of Shares in
the Northern and Eastern line has caused a further decline in
their price ; but it must be remembered that upon the greater
part of them not more than 30s. per share has been paid out of
the 451., and in no case does the payment exceed 51. The last
quotations for London and Birmingham were, 175 177 ; Bir-
mingham and Gloucester, 50 52 ; South Western, 871 88
the Half Shares, 611 621 ; North Midland, 65 67 ; the New
Shares, 32 33 ; the Scrip, 5i 6 ; Eastern Counties, 991 •,
Northern and Eastern, 40 41 ; Blackwell, 101 11 ; and
letrighton, 35i 351 per share.
The quotations of the Bends were, Celombian, 25 26 ;
Peruvian, 171 l 81,; Portuguese Five per Cents., 37 37/ ; the

ber, the price being nominally 85 to 90, took the unusual, but,
under the circumstances, perfectly warrantable method of fixing
a public notice of his order, and requesting tenders. This has
had the effect of rendering parties more cautious, and the
prices at the er4ViiYlßtion of the market were brought into the
closer approairnation of 88 90.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
the whole of the markets are exceedingly heavy, and prices
lower. Various rumours are afloat, which cannot be traced to
any authentic source, but that unpleasant feeling, noticed to
have existed some fortnight since, appears to have revived with
increased force. It is stated that accounts are in town of the
alarming state of the King of the French ; and it cannot be
concealed that should his demise occur at the present time
some serious consequences might arise between us and that
nation. The feeling of the French towards us is evi-
dently
unfavourable, and an observation which fell
from Sir Robert Peel a short time since shows
that it is semerhat reciprocal on the part of our own
Cabinet, R ith regard to matters of commercial policy. A sud-
den demand for money, and some extensive sales in Reduced,
have added to the depression, and Consols are 911 for the open-
ing ex div.; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91i; Reduced Three-
end-a-Half per Cents., 1001; India Bonds, 21 ; Exchequer

neyond a bargain in Dutch Five per Cents., at 101, there is
nothing to notice in the Foreign Securities.
Business in Shares has been limited to Birmingham and
Derby, Thirds, at 14; Cheltenham and Great Western at 28;
and Brighton at 35.
Spanish Five per Cents. are quoted 21i, and the Three per
Cents., 23i.
The alteration in the timber duties appears to have caused
much dissatisfaction in Canada, and it is stated, will probably
ruin the trade and country altogether. This is far too gloomy
a view of the subject, the timber of that colony having still a
high rate of protection, and, even were it not so, agriculture,
which was originally abandoned for the timber trade, will form
a profitable substitute. For many years after the settlement
of the place, the cultivation of wheat formed almost the sole oc.
cupation of the inhabitants, and it was discontinued in conse-
quence of the bounty offered on the exportation of timber. It
has always been admitted that the quality of this latter article
is far inferior to that procured from the Baltic and other places,
and hence it may be concluded, that the trade in it has been
injudiciously forced, to a certain extent at least. But it may
very reasonably be doubted if this be the only country to
which the Canadians may look for customers for their timber.
The West India Islands:and the Eastern coast of South Ame-
rica, are all dependent upon others for their supplies, and it is
quite possible to open and carry on an extensive and
profitable trade with them as well "1 with us. If such

be so, this reduction may almost be viewed as beneficial,
inasmuch as an impetus will be given to the
commerce of Canada, as well by opening new vents for its pro-
duce, as by the increased consumption of its corn and flour,
which may now reasonably be expected in this country.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
HAMPTON RACES.—TituRsDAr.

For two or three hours preceding the commencement of the
first race the villages in the vicinity of the Hurst exhibited a
miniature resemblance of Epsom on the Derby day. The lino
of carriages was immense ; some proceeded direct to the race-.
ground, and, as a matter of course, were mulcted heavily for
admission within the privileged enclosures; others, more eco-
nomical, discharged their cargoes at the waterside, and exposed
them to the dangers of the ferry, in addition to those already
encountered on the road. His Royal Highness Prince George
of Cambridge, and a long list of the noble and the beautiful, to
the credit of the races, were present. The first start took place
for

HENLEY ItEGATTA,
SECOND DAV—WEDNESDA.‘'.
The sport was first-rate, the Weather ekceedingly fine, and
the attendance 'exceeded, hot only in number, but in condition,
the rates of any previous season. The disappointment upon
the withdrawal of the Oxford boats, and the eonrusioe attend-
ant Upon the general disarrangeineet hl the list, had been got
over, and the bridge, the towing-path, the stands, and the
beautiful hills, whith tise in seccession on the Berks shore,
were covered with spectators: It Was the Derby of aqklaties.
The trial races had beet gohe through, Ind the expectant mill,
titude were anxionsly anticipating in the struggle foe the rcs
spective Vale:able prizes and honorary distinctions a scientific
ted gfttifying exhibition.
At three o'clock, the
„iedget hgviti liken their places in
the grand stand, and Ds Bithdp, Esq., the umpire; having.
taken his seat in the cutter, manned by picked Londoti Water-
man, preparations Were made for the first rt ell, Nr the
islaberle:;,Stewards Chilletige CiAp, ;glue 75 guineas.
The Dreadnought ittd tee Midge were the opposing parties,
and the boats Ittne manned thus:--
"leLoN.—The Midge (University Qualification. )—Messrs.
stroke ; howisj Potock, Stuart. Steerer, Churchill.
Cresitsv.—The Dreadnought Cutter Club—Messrs. Page,
stroke Ontirtvaite, torest, Ives. Steerer Tagg.
It was a very indifferent ,race. The Midge took the lead,
kept It, and won very easily.
The heat price Was the District Challenge Cup, for four. '
oared boats, now extended to amateur clubs belonging to any
of the towns on the banks of the Thames from Windsor to
Oxford (both inclusive), established at least one year pre-
vious to th 3 time of entering, and whose members shall not be
resident members of the Univesities, or members of any Uni-
versity Club.
The competitors for this were the following :
Wreeson.—The Windsor and Eton Boat Club—Messrs. W:
Long (stroke), Muekhouse, G. Long, Dodd. Steerer—F.. Long.
Oxrortn. The Dolphin Boat Club —Messrs. Buckett
(stroke), Leach, Bossom, Cowley. Steerer—Jackman.
OXFORD.—The Isis Boat Club—Messrs. Williams (stroke),
Venables, Wadlowe, Sherratt. Steerer—Chamberlain.
A very excellent race took place, in which it was clear that
the whole of the crews were first-rate as amateurs. The
three boats went off beautifully together, and for a few yards
were level, the Isis then showed her head about a yard in ad-
vance of the others, which advantage was but temporary, the
whole three being again oar and oar. X spirited struggle fol.
lowed, in which the combatants strained every muscle for pre-
cedence. The Windsor and Eton, by dint of superior power,
got the lead and kept it, winning by half a length, or a trifle
more. Thu Isis was about the 5104 distance in advance of the
other boat.

The grand rate, a thik ifYit.y.; of the clay, was yet to come,
and the sporting Interest was very considerable. The recent
struggle in London between the Cambridge and Oxford boats
httd Induced much diversity of opinion on the merits of the
Cambridge-room's and the University boat, and tato sittip
laid out at evens. It will be remembered that Reom't beat
in London came in possession of the chief prite SA this; regatta
last season, in a contest between them and the Leander. The
race on that occasion was not rowed out, a foul hiving talteh
place about five minutes after the start) and the umpire decid-
ing that, according to the conditions of this regatta, a foul,
however accidental it might be, lost the party making it the race.
just before five o'clock preparations were made for this great
event, the holders being as we have described, and the antago-
nist party, the winners of the race, amongst the challengers.
The Grand Challenge Cup, value 200 guineas, open to any
crew composed of members of any of the Universities of Oxford,
Cambridge, or London, or schools of Eton or Westminster, or
the Officers of her Majesty's Army or Navy, or to any Club es-
tablished at least one year previous to the time of entering.
The crews were :
LoNttox—The Cambridge Subscription. room's Boat Club.
Messrs. Beresford (stroke), Selwyn, Jones, Ritchie, Lonsdale,
Uppleby, Shadwell, Yatman. Steerer—T. Egan.
CamaaraE.—The University Boat Club. Messrs. Ridley,
(stroke), Hon. G. Denman, Royds, Cobbold, Vials, Watson,
Hon. L. Denman, Tower. Steerer—J. P.illock.
It will be seen by the above list that Mr. Vials has taken
the place of Mr. Penrose in the University boat since Satur..
day, and that Mr. Egan, who steered that boat on Tuesday,
hi its contest against the challengers, was found in the London-
room's boat, his loss to'the University crew being supplied by
Mr. Pollock, a very able steerer, and the brother, as we un-
derstand, of the gentleman who took the yoke•linos in the
match of Saturday.
Both crews bent forward on the signal being given, and
started away together. The. University boat aTeared, after a
few pulls, to be heading, but a trifling spurt and they were as i
at the moment of going off. The Room's-boat then-made a
