The inter t", nee if one power in the internal Wars of another ,4.l eeti..nable in principle, and so dil.cult to recon cile *Ail modern notions of the laws of nations that M. de Neiselrode, claiming fur Russia the full li ed free exereiee of those peculiar and traditional rights or privileges which he has habi tually enjoyed in regard to the Greek subjects of the Porte, iscuretrained to insist repes'edly on the main tenance of the oldie qn He claims tor the (peeks the immunities and privi!eges they have enjoyed ab a•div.. It would seem as if the rights of itussia in Turkey ware not susceptible of any other defini tion than " such rights as have been of aforetime en joyed by her.' Now Russia professes to be satis fied u ith the last &man proceeding in theory front the mere motion of the Sultan fur regula ting the religious privileges of his subjects, but s h e requires, - tti addition, a solemn act as a guarantee that this finnan shall not be altered. M. de Nessel ride says a " treaty," properly so culled, was never demanded. Nlenchikolr at first asked for a conven tiin, then insisted upon a seised, and finally, ns the climax of moderation, said ho would be contented if the Sultan would " immediately" sign a " hole" of his dictation. Each of these demands Turkey successively refused to comply with fur rea sons touching her sovereignty and independence which have been repeatedly 'rated. But she might fairly have echoed Nessielrode's argument, and have insisted on the stale pia. The rights, such as they are, were customarily enjoyed under a tirman. To alter the tenure of a meiely customary right, is es sentially to alter the states pas. Russia has no more right to ask for a treaty, contention, sened, or note to secure the rights of the Greeks, than a copyhold tenant at will, "according to the custom of the memo" would have to call upon his lord to ensure him his estate by a deed indented, instead of a simple copy of the court roll. M. de Nesselrode indeed says that in principle (he admits in principle only) a contention, or even a treats - , such as he asks fur, is no new thing. and wooi . el no more infringe uuam the sovereignty of the Sultan than the "rysitirbitions already possessed in Turkey by France and Austria." He also says tnat Russia has a treaty in fact nlrrady, for the treaty of Kaynareji passed in 1771 " suffi ciently implies a right of surveillance and remon strance" by Russia in regard to the Christian reli gion and the Greek Church. 'l'o all this Turkey may still plead the data quo. If the treaty of lin, nardji he sufficient there is no need of ants. thee. If another be wanted it is a novelty, and on that ground inadmissible. In defending himself against the imputntioe of a desire to overthrow the Ottoman ein2ire, M. do Neese lrode uses rather as unfortunate argument for his case. He sass, that if Russia had ever haremired such a design, she would have executed it in P:311, when the European powers were distracted by revolutions, and would have been enable to mist. Now it is well known that in 1830 Resin was preparing to invade the Danubian principalities, and postponed the scheme precisely because the awakening of the revolutionary spirit in Europe cut out so much work for her at home, that she had not a soldier to spare from police duty. 'fhe insinuation in the note, that the present difficul ties hive been caused by France, althouch in a mea sure tree, is calculated t °exasperate the French govern ment. The Constitutionnei notices this fact today, and protdiss to comment upon it to-morrow. None of the other morning journals have any remarks upon this important diplomatic document. Several of then di not even publish it. It appears that doubts have been entertained whether it would be safe to do an, for the Issl.petatace Beige in which it was con tained yesterday was seized at the post-office. It will be remembered that by an extraordinary article in the *cameo.* CO»13141‘14111 of the 7th of No vember. I'l'2, the Emperor reserved to himself power ever the members of his Own family, which place them at his will, completely beyond the pale of law. In fact, so sweep ing is the wording of the clause, the Emperor has power of life and death over them. Nothing has since occurred to show that the occasion had arisen fur exercising these powers, but to-day the Mowitrur contains a decree, filling several columns, in pursuance of the sennerti eonsultum for the regn. lotion of the imperial family. The issue of this decree has given rise to a host of conjectures, and many reports are afloat too scandalous to be here repeated. At the Bourse to-day a general decline in prices took place, its farther progress apparently being only arrested by the termination of business : the Fourand-a-Hall per Cents. for cash declined 40e., and for the account 30e., whilst the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for money also fell 30c.; the Three per Cents. for cash were more steady, and had even tually advanced 15c.

The Montreal Herald of this morning contaius the foi lowing particulars ul the ri it and melancholy loss of life at Father Govern's anti-catholic lecture at Ziou Church last evening. As advertised, Signor Gavarzi meta numerous audience in Zion Church at half-past G o'clock p m. yesterday. Many of our must reaps etable citizens, with their faindies, were pre sent. About half-past 7 o'clock we went to the door tif the church, where we found Capt. Ermatineer, with a strong posse of police, some 20 or 30 men, At this time, end for about half an hour after, groups of wild, ragged-looking men were assembled around the door of the church and at different points between the church and WC:ill-street. We mixed freely among th,eic people, a n d conversed with more than one of th• w who were considered the leaders of the Irith cathulie party. We were assured by them that they had only come to the ground to use their influence to prevent a disturbance, and that we might rest satisfied the lecture would pass off quietly. We were not, however, satisfied with the aspect of affairs, and remained on the ground. At about is quarter to eight o'clock a band of ruffian., we learn—for, although is eight, we were at too gr. at a dis tance to see more than that a general niche had taken place —attacked and overpowered the police (Captain Erma tinger receiving a severe wound OR the head), and pro eeeaed to force their way into the :church, from which a body of titeen or twenty repulsed them, several shuts front guns ant pistols being fired trout b rth sides. The assault ing party were effectually routed; two or three of their number were left dead or severely wounded on the ground, but were shortly afterwards removed in cars by their frien,te. Soon after this occurrence a company of the' 6th Cairo ronians marched from Craig street, and were drawn up between the engine-house and that street. All steered per fotly quiet, and rein Ont.] so until about • (pander past eight o'cl.ek, at about which time the lecture was concluded, and the audience inside the church had begun to !eaves for lone. At this time the troops were marched across Ging-street, and took the r position in two lines across Eadeyonde-street, one line nearly opposite Zion's Church, arid the other some hundred paces nearer Craig-street. A good deal of heating and noise prevailed at this time, and on the WWI 'area side of Craig-street some disturbance with the lowest line of troops occurred, and two or three shots were tired; in other riepects all seemed peaceable. Wo were at this time at the corner of St. James-street and street, and had a clear and distinct view of the troops and of the people in their immediate vicinity. There we saw no violence on the part of the mob—nothing, Mac.d, but the people hurrying from the church—when, to our utter astonishment, we heard and saw the troopw tire two ilistiuct running volleys among the apparently, to us, peace able citizens. Thinking it high time to attend to our own safety, we beat a rapid retreat from this apparent scene of wanton and unaled for slaughter. This, we leel, is not the tune to express the indignation with which we saw British troops deliberately shoot down our peaceful and on offending fellow citizens. We were too far off to ' , peek personally of the conduct of the mayor and of the officers by whose orders they were oireeteil to fire, but if we are correctly informed by those who were on the spot, there was nothing whatever to justify so rash and cowardly a encecdiog. We must not, however, prejudge their con duct on the occasion; but the blood of those who fill calls luudiy for a prompt investigation into every circumstance connected with the melancholy affair, and, apparently at least. wanton massacre. The following, so far as we have been able to ascertain, is 'complete list of the fulled and wounded:—Peter Gil lespie, clerk in Mr. Johnson's store, shot armlet ths head with a musket ball, and mortally wouoded, although alive when we lett (since reported dead) ; E. Crosby, clerk, a relative of Mr. Tyre, of Tyre, Calquehon, and Co., shot through the heart, and died instantly; James Hutchinson, cousin of Mr. Ilumhinson, the builder, killed; Mr. Attains, son of the City Councillor, shot through the lungs, and mortally wounded; Mr. J. O'Neil, shot through the body, and expected to recover ; Master Wallace, a lad of 14 years of age, severely wounded; Mr. Clark, book-keeper at W. Lyman and Co.'s, shot through the foot with a musket ball ; Mr. Hibbert, of Long Point, also shot through the foot with a musket ball; a lad, nephew of Mr. Jos. ph McKay, of St. Paul-street, shot through the leg ; Mr. Patrick Guy, shot through the heel with a musket ball ; Mr. Chip man, of the National Loan Fund, wounded in the side ; Mr. McGrath, son of Thomas McGrath, shot through the body, and killed; a Mr. Hudson, stone cutter, was killed; a beautiful little boy, five, years ' old, was shot through the leg, and broke the bone ; Mr. Stevenson, formerly of the Poet-office, wcs severely wounded in the shoulder ; an unknown man was killed— died in the house of Dr. M'Donuell. Mr. Sydney Junes was slightly wounded by a musket ball in the hand. A lad, whose name we could not learn, was at wounded as to neees•itate the amputation of one of his legs in the Montreal General Hospital, and is not expected to recover. Many others, whom cases we could not learn, were more or less injured. At the time we write, all is quiet in the city. There is a strong guard of the Twenty-sixth regiment at St. Ltwrence Hall, and at the Mayor's residence, and the streets are patrolled by mounted artillerymtn. June 10—Noon. All is now quiet, but another disturbance is expected to-night. Seven persons were killed hut evening, and six mart Illy wounded ; ten were otherwise injured. There is much excitement here. The Mayor is universally con• demned for ordering the troops to fire without sufficient cause. . - . . . From California, by the arrival of the steam-ships El Dorado and Prometheus, we have received papers to the 16th May. The news of the mines is of the most flattering character. The most extraordinary feature of the news by this arrival is the proceedings in the House of Assembly on the 2nd ultimo, when a preamble, declaring that " Mexico has not hesitated to violate the solemn treaty entered into with the United States," and "hence we anticipate a speedy war," was backed up by a resolution that a bill be reported, " authorising certain persons to organise 10 companies of mounted men, without expense to the state, and granting them the right to rtpair to a spot within and near the line of this state where it touches the river Oils, there to remain so long as they choose at their own cost, or until a requisition shall have bees made upon this state for troops, in the event of a war with Mexico." The Oregon papers contain nothing of general interest. Poi' tics ran high, and much party bitterness prevailed. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. LIVERPOOL, WZDNieDAT MORNING. A telegraphic summary of the following appeared in yesterday's Erpreas : "the United States Mail steamship Atlantic, Capt. West, arrived in the Mersey last night from New York, with advices from thence to the 11th inst. She has also, besides the usual mails, brought 207 pamengera and 306,833 dollars in specie on freight. On the 11th inst. the Atlantic passed the United Mail steamer Pacific, 90 miles from New York. On the 17th Inst. passed the Royal Mail steamer Nia gara, in tat. :'10.30 N., lon. 37 W. Amongst the passengers by the Atlantic are Mr. J. I'.

The Hon. James Buchanan, new minister to the court of St. James's, had taken berths in the Atlantic, but not being ready, has transferred to the Arctic, the next Collin's steamer. The British frigate Leander, with the Earl of Ellesmere, commissioner from the English govern ment to the New York Exhibition, arrived at New York on the 10th instant. Serious riots riots have taken place at Quebec and Mon treal, consequent on the delivery of some lectures by Father Oavazzi at these places. In the latter city a number of lives were lost. The following are some details of the occurrences at Quebec and Mon treal. In the latter city the riot, it will be seen, ended fatally. Quebec, June 7, 1853. The lecture pmeeed'd quietly enough all about half through, when tissarai charged the Boman catholic priest hood of Ireland as bring the promoters and the heads of the Ilibaad Society in (reboil, when a voice immediately under the pulpit sung out, " It's a lie ; the Roman catholic clergy hare always put down and preached sw,ing ribaod i•m.' Shouts rose from ell parts of the building of Put him out," and almost immediately a shout we, heard from the outside, and soon after a rush was made into the church by a dosen or two individual, who directed their course immediately towards the pulpit. On the steps of the puluit, the approach to which was by a narrow passage on each side, the padre's secre tary sad some others were posted, and togethst with THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1853.

TUE WEST INDIA MAIL STEAMER CLYDE, which has been cut down and undergone extensive repairs, made a trial trip at Southampton yesterday, previous to her de parture next Saturday for St. Thomas, in the Writ Indies. She is to run on the Mexican Gulph station, which requires a steamer of considerable power:and cud in consequence of the sever. weather experienced there. Front the speed of the Clyde on her trial trip, she is likely to prove a valuable requisition to the West India fleet. She is to be com 'sanded by Captain Wilson, late of the West India mail packet Dee.

On Tuesday morning a man named Francis Pick ing, • blacksmith and hammermao, who has been for some time in the employ of Mr. C. J. Mare, the iron ship builder at Blackwell, murdered his wife, and afterwards inflicted A wound in his throat, from the effects of which he died yes terday morning. Picking and his wife were a very dissi pated couple, frequently inebriated, and were constantly quarrelling. They occupied a small room at No. 39, Evans street, Poplar, and their son, a lad about 16 years of age, *Kin the same room as his parents. On Monday night a rails took place for • violin at the Windmill, in Poplar. This mie was got up by Picking and his wife, and to paper announcing it described the violin to be "a fiddle is full tune." On the way to the house where the raffle took place Picking and his wife began wrangling, and the man broke the fiddle. The consequence was that on reaching the Windmill only six persons consented to become mem. bees in the raffle, a circumstance which appeared to give very great annoyance to Picking, who gave vent to his feelings by oaths and curses. The wretched and nuke. Innate couple reached home about 12 o'clock at night, and went to bed very quietly. On the fallowing morning, at half past five, a roes named William Hislop, the landlord of the house, wile slept in a room under the one occupied by the Pickings knocked with a stick against the ceiling, as he was in the custom of doing every morning to arouse his lodgers. Picks ing returned the sigma in the usual manner by knocking on the floor, but did not get up. At six o'clock l'ickinve boy, who is in the employ of Mr. Hodges, an engineer is Poplar, rose and called to his father, and after telling him hour, asked him if he was not going to work. His Stan replied " No, I have something to do first "—no d making an anticipatory allusion to the dreadful deed be was about to perpetrate, and which it is believed he had premeditated on the previous night. The boy directly afterwards left the room. His mother was then fast asleep, and his father in bed by her aide. At half-past ten o'clock • girl had occasion to call epee the Pickings with some clean linen her mother had washed for them. On opening the room door, which was sot locked, the girl stepped into a pool of blood on the Seer, and before her, en the bed, were Picking and his wife, weltering in their blood. The girl screamed aloud. Ma set up a cry of horror, which soon ►rought assistance, and the house was almost immediately filled with people, who flocked from all quarters of the district. Mr. Giles, a surgeon, in Canton-place, East India-road, was immediately sent for, and upon his arrival he pro nounced the woman to be quite dead. The unfortunate creature had been murdered in her sleep. There was not the least appearance of a struggle. lier throat had been mat from ear to ear ; all the great arteries were divided, end her death must have been instantaneous. Picking had also cut his own throat, but not with the same determina tion and violence with which he had inflicted the wound en his wife. He was a powerful man, with a strong muscular SIM lad large hand, and it is the opinion of Mr. Giles, the trargeon, that he never intended to deprive himself of life, bet only to inflict a slight wound on his throat, and that while doing so the razor slipped, and divided the trachea. Mr. Giles and his assistant lost no time in sewing up the wound in the throat, and while doing so Picking, who was extremely feeble from 100 of blood, Galled out, •• Don't choke me," and made an attempt to drag the bandages from his neck. Mr. Giles gave direc tions that his hands should he made fast, to prevent him repeating the attempt, and left his assistant and a police. man named Puddeford, of the K Division, with the mur derer, with directions not to leave him for an instant. His directions were strictly complied with in this respect, and Mr. Giles visited him repeatedly in the course of the same day, and again at midnight, and had some hopes of saving him ; but at day-light yesterday morning unfavour able symptoms presented themselves, and at 5 o'clock the patient expired. The razor with which he inflicted the wounds was found on the bed. It was stained with blood. Picking admitted to Mr. Giles, the surgeon, 'previous to his death, that he murdered his wife, but did not state his motives, or assign any cause for doing so. When the surgeon was first called in the body of Mrs. Picking was quite cold, and Mr. Giles has no doubt she had been dead at least four hours. Picking was in the receipt of good wages. There was an abundant• of provisions and some money found in his room, and he had 255. in hand at Mr. Mare's factory. The bodies of the murderer and his wife now await a coroner's inquest, which Mr. Baker has appointed to be held this day. CUSTOMS DUTlES.—Yesterday a return showed that there are 22 articles on which it is proposed to retain the additional duty of 5 per cent. The aggregate receipt 1 328,2621. it SAFETY OF RAILWAY LUGGAGE. has always been felt by the public at the want of arrangements at railway stations for taking care of luggage. A :passenger while travelling by rail oftentimes wants to remain in some particular town on the line for an hour or a day, and he 'must either take his luggage with him, paying for porterage, or run the risk of losing it if he leaves it at the station. A gentleman named Wilkins has invented a plan by which this inconvenieses Ma be remedied. This plan pesos for porterage, and, a the same time yields • hand- MOM revenue to railway companies. It isnow in operation OA the Southampton railway, and answers exceedinglywell. When a train, say a down train, arrives at any particular station, a porter Attends with a book about the size of the London Directory. It contains tickets Lot' stiff card-board bound in the book. Each ticket is about three inches long and one inch wide. It is partly cut, so that two separate parts of it can be easily torn off. The tickets are numbered differently, but each of the three parts of • ticket has the same number. The outer part of the ticket has a leap of tape gummed to it. Suppose a person arrives at a station and is not going on by train for an hour or two, or a day, and is desirous of leaving a carpet bag or a trunk at the station, he pays one penny, and in a moment the taped por tion of a platform ticket is fastened to the handle of the carpet-bag. This portion bears, as has been already stated, a printed number also ; the words " depoeited at Winches ter," or whatever the station may be, and likewise the words " for down train." Another portion of the ticket, with the same number maths bet, is ties off and given to the owner of the carpet bag, to be presented at the station, when she article is wanted. The words ' for down train" is omitted on this portion. The part of the ticket that is left in the book corresponds with that given to the pas senger, and is a check on the money-taker. The railway company then becomes reponsiVe for the safety of the property. Luggage is divided into three classes,—that for down-train, fur up-train, and to be left till called for, and should be sorted into three 'Efferent compartments at the station. For each division there is a separate book of tickets. If a person wart to find or steal a ticket, and apply for property, he wr.uld be instantly detected, because he would have first to say whether the luggage was for up or down train, or to left till called for, which be could not do unless he nsw.ied it. There is no necessity for any address to be on Iwsgage. One penny per package per diem is charged fora 'elattorm ticket. DCRILV A CITY ELECTION.—The nomination for the City of Durham take, place on Friday, the polling on Satur:tay. Notwithstanding the unwating of Lord A.

Iid.M.DEN DELT ELECTED. Yesterday, the committee, atter hearing Mr. Ma caulay and Ilr. Jame', rewired, after dt.lo,erating an hour and a bait: _ _ _ " That Sir Jahn Bounden, Bart., is duly elected • burgess to serve in this prtsent parliament fur the borough of Taunton. " That Thomas Coombe. was bribed with 8/. to give his vote for Sir John Itrnviden. " That:Charles Webber was bribed with 7!. to abstain from giving his vote nt the last election. " That it was not proved that the aforesaid acts of bribery were committed with the knowledge and consent of the said Sir J. I:, mod ..n or his agents. "That it appears to the committee that no means were employed by Sir J. ltamsden to procure his return for the borough of Taunton at the last election that were not strictly legal and coLatitutional." PLYMOUTH. When this committee met yesterday morning, Mr. Alexander a iid he could go on almost to any extent in bringing forward evidence such as had already been given, as to obtainin g situations in consideration of votes, bat be thought it unnece,sary to trouble the committee tor thee on that head, and lie would now beg their attention to some evidence as to the general expenditure of the candi dates at the election. He then called Mr. J. Radford, who said he was bookkeeper in the bank of Messrs. Harris and Cu., Plymouth. Mr. W. A. Hunt, Bo licitor, kept an account at the hank. The witness produced certain huge fuiio volumes, railed the bank books, and, at the request of counsel, referred to them to prove the entry of certain sums of money advanced at various times during the election to different persons. These stuns were marked in the bank ledgers, " Mr. Mare's election." They termed part of Mr. Hunt's bank account. The first item was the entry of • cheque for 1521. 19s. 2d. in favour of Mr. Braith waite. Then there was a cheque to Mr Mennil for 6001., again 50/. to • Mr. Marshall (August II), and (August 16) an entry of " paid self—meaning Mr. Ilunt-6601.' There were also entries of different sums paid to a person named Eastlake, a clerk in the bank, and the amount altogether of those entries was, in round numbers, 1,980/. The witness said Mr. Hunt hed banked at the house for at least 20 years. The London correspondents of the bank were Lub bock and Co. Those cheques were charged to Mr. Hunt's general account, but marked as already stated, " Mr. Mare's election." The witness then produced a written statement of the amount of Mr. Hunt's credit for the same period-10th April, 1832, to 10th April, 1833—paid into the hank by cheques from Mr. Mare. Those sums ap pcere to be, on May 3, 1832, 141. 2s. Bd. ; July 14, 6001. ; IJuly 21, 5851. ; this last sum being a cheque drawn by Mr. W. West. Mr. A. 11. Clark, a clerk in the bank of Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and Co., London, was next called, and produced some equally ponderous volumes from that establishment. Ile said Mr. Mare had banked at their house for some time. There were entries in the books in favour of Mr. Hunt (in Mr. Mare's account), amounting in the aggregate to 1,8611. Os. Od. There were also entries in Mr. Mare's ac count of money paid to Mr. Churchward. The first item was 21st July, 1842,141. ss. ; November 16, 500/. ; Febru ary 14, 1853, 2001.; March 8, 2.501.; April 23, 3001.; and June 21 (lest Tuesday), 3001.; making an aggregate of 1,6611. os. Mr. J. Shinn, a clerk to the Commercial Banking Com pany, London, said Mr. Churchward had an account at that beak. He found, on referring to the hooks, an entry of cash paid to Mr. Church ward's amount 141. os. (the only sum paid before the election), and various other sums—the result of the whole being (said Mr. Alexander) that there was paid 1,564/. Os. to Mr. Churchward'a credit by Mr. Mare, and 1,8611.05. 9J. to Mr. Hunt's credit, also paid by Mr. Mare. Mr. J. G. Churchward was then called, and stated that he went down to the election at Plymouth last year to asstst Mr. Mare. The place where the election business was carried on was the Royal Hotel. Mr. Mennie, Lieutenant Sumpter, Mr. Edwards (examined on Tuesday), Mr. Jen kM Thomas, Mr. Braithwaite, and others, took an active part on behalf of Mr. Mare. Mr. Triscott was alas fre quently a' the committee room. Witness first went down to Plymouth (to assist in Mr. Mare's eh ction) about the 6th of Apel, 1852. lie used to remain three or fur days at a time, and then come up to London. Ile is connected with the Morning Herald, and also with the Plymouth Mail, which latter he mauages, and it his property. He had been previously acquainted with Plymouth, and had re sided there. The witness was then examined, at considerable length, with respect to certain persons whom the previous witnesses had spoken to as having got appointments in the royal dockyard at Plymouth, and in Mr. Mare's dockyard at Blackwell, through hut influence. He said he wrote to the Admiralty to procure an appointment for a young man named Clement Hearne, whose father was a voter. Ile wrote on that occa sion to Mr. Grant, private secretary to Mr. Stafford, late Secretary to the Admiralty. He bad known Mr. Grant for many years, when he was private secretary to Admiral Dun das. That letter was on the subject of voters and the friends of voters, and on election matters generally throughout England. When he returned to town, he had interviews every day with Mr. Grant, and had been in the habit of seeing him every day for the last four or five years. That was chit fly with regard to his (witness's) duties as to the naval department of the Morning Henald. He considered he was bound to use his interest to get situations for men of good character who had promised to vote for Mr. Mare. He was a little ambitious to procure a share of the appointments for Plymouth dockyard, es hitherto they had been confined to Devonport, end he wished to break through that exclusion. His endeavours ins this direction were not all confined to political partisans; for in one or two casts he thinks he endeavoured to procure ap pointments for pencils totally irrespective of their votes. ' He never tr - uhled Mr. Mare at all with those circum ' stances. Mr. Mare constantly referred applicants, voters, and friends of vote's, to him, telling them that " Church ward knew more of Admiralty marten than he did." Ile thinks it was pretty generally known there that Its' had some little influence at Plymouth ; as connected with the Morning Herald, at least. Ile interested himself for various parties, and sent their names up to the Admiralty and their lordships, did him the honour to considw his applications frequently. During his election. Mr. Mare repudiated any connexion with the go vernment, though at that very time he (witness) was in communication with the Admiralty. What Its means is, that Mr. Mare repudiated being called a go vernment man. He (witness) was very moderate in his demands upon the government; it was a fight between him and Devonport. He entered the names of every person who applied to him for situations, but he has destroyed that do cument. It was after the petition against the return for I'lymouth was presented that he destroyed it, and several other papers. He should suppose he had 600 or 700 names dewn on that list, and should think they were all in Mr. Mare's in . He remembers a person named Thomas Ledstone coming to him fora situation. Ledstone had been recommended to him by Mr. J. Thomas. He gave Led stone a recommendation to Blackwell, and he got employ ment. Thinks he made 38 or 40 applications for situations at the dockyard at Plymouth during the election. Does not think he got more than 23 of those applications com plied with, but Commodore Seymour would know better the exact number. Thinks he never wrote to Mr. Grant except to make an application for some one. He fre quently wrote to Mr. Grant far four or five in a batch, and he " tried to keep him up to it." Thinks he got about six people into Mr. Mars's employment during the elec tion. Thinks he got about 20 altogether, before and since the election, into Mr. Mare's employment. He does not know of any corrupt practices on either side having taken place during the Plymouth election. He had made payments of money on Mr. Mare's part during the election, but that had nothing whatever to do with the election. Before the election he received from Mr. Mare 141.,which be disbursed in chaxity. There was • large bill run up at the Royal Hotel, which Mr. Mare paid. Mr. Mare may have given him a cheque at one time to pay part of this bill. He (witness) checked the hotel bill. It was Mr. Hunt, Mr. Mare's legal agent, that managed all Mr. Mare's money matters during the election. Mr. Mare has not stated to him the amount of his expenses at Plymouth. He does not know the amount of those expenses within 1,0001. or 2,0001. He has seen Mr. Hunt's bill against Mr. Mare, which he thinks was about 1,800/. By the Marquis of Chaados.—lt has always been the practice of government to distribute places in the yard at election times. In the majority of cases he believes the appointments to the dockyards are made from political motives. Mr. Draine was nest called, and said he was one of the candidatet at the last election, and he never obtained situ ations for guy one before or since the election, nor pro mised to do se ; nor did any of his agents promise to d's so Is quite certain he made no promise of the sort to a per son named Henkey, nor promised to obtain any place for him. A great number of voters applied to him during his canvass for situations for themselves or their friends, but he invariably told three persons he would not entertain any such application. The committee then adjourned to this morning. THE FIRE IN FINSBURY'. We stated yesterday that a fire, attended with considerable destruction of property, broke out in the premises of Mr. F. bPNeill and Co., Patent Felt Works, situate in Lamb's Passage, Buakill-row, Finsbury. By great and continued exertion the firemen were enabled to obtain a complete mastery over the flames, but net before six o'clock in the evening, when half the factory was de stroyed. It is understood that the firm is insured. -- ____. _ , . _ TILE NEW PENNY RECEIPT STAMP.—The follow - NAVAL. ing communication has been received from the Chancellor ADMIRALTY, JUNE 22.— APPOINTMENTS. —Lients.: t c les tel..

Dublin yes terday, on his way to Trulee, with the intent ion of canvassing the electors of that borough as a candi date for the vacancy caused in its representation by the lamented death of his brother, the lute Mr. Mau rice O'Connell. Mr. John Macnamara Cantwell, of Dublin, and Alderman John R e y no ld s h ave a l ready published their addresses to the electors, but as they bath profess their determinatton not to oppose a son of the late Daniel O'Connell. should any of that family start, their claims may be considered as dis posed of. The same ct..cunistance anticipates the opposition which was threatened by two other gen tlemen, Mr. Leahy and Colonel Stokes, both con nected with the locality, and who have been men tioned as probable candidates. The friends of Mr. John Sadleir have contradicted in the most positive manner the rumour of that ' gentleman's intention to stand for Tralee. Such a rumour was most probably spread for the purpose of injuring Mr. Sadleir's interest in Sligo ; and, at all events, if there had been even tiny foundation for it, it is not at all likely that Mr. Sailleir would appear as the opponent of one of the late Mr. O'Connell's sons in the county town of Kerry. During the approaching Clare election there will be a military encampment at that village of ill owned notoriety, Six-mile-bridge; and strong mili tary detachments will also be located at the other polling places. Lieut.-Colonel Ainsley, with two troops of the 7th Dragoons, and two companies of the 17th Depot, under .Major Furren, will form the camp at Six-mile-bridge. A severe struggle is anti cipated. MUSIC. MR. BENEDICT'S CONCERT.—Mr. Benedict's an nual concert, at the Hanover-square Roams yesterday morning, was a most ample banquet of music. The pro gramme contained a great number of vocal and instru mental pieces, in almost every variety of style, and in the performance of which a host of eminent artists were em ployed. Among them were Madame Clara Novelle), Miss Goddard, Madame Marchesi, M. Ferdinand Hiller, Made moiselle Bury, Madame F. Lablache, Madame Viardut, Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves, Signor Gardoni, M. Sainron M. Vieuxtemps, Signor Piatti, Signor Bottesini, &c. We cannot enumerate the pieces performed ; it is sufficient to say that they were selected with taste and judgment, many of them being Mr. Benedict's own compositions, and ad mirable specimens of his genius. The room was literally crowded to overflowing, many persons being unable to get within the doors. MUSIC -HALT., STORE-STREET. Miss Itainforth gave the third of her series of illustrations of the lyrical and romantic poetry of Scotland last night, when she read portions of Scott's Lady of the Lake, and sang the inciden tal songs with her accustomed taste and czpre•sion. Mas. WILLMOItIes CONCERT.—Last evening Mrs Arthur Willmore gave a concert at the Music-hall, Stores street, Bedford-square, on which occasion she ri ceivedtht assistance of Miss Pyne, Mrs. T. H. Severn, Mr. R-senthal, Mr. Donald King, Mr. and Mrs. Janus K. roWels Pyne, Mrs. Galion, Herr JIMA, Signor Piutti, Signor Buttesini, &c. The music was well selected, and amongst ON compositions were some of the must popular airs, which have been handed down to us, not only by con tinental musicians, but by those of our owu country. Although the programme did not boast so many great names as are sometimes met with at elltrrainments of this kind, the audience had every reason t.• be gratified with what they heard and saw. Amongst the instrumental per formers, Mrs. Mllltnore herself occupied a di,tinguishel place, and the various artists by whom she was assisted in this part of her concert contributed very largely towards the succeu of the performances, which, it may be stated in one word, gave general satisfaction to the audience. DRAMA. FRENCH PLAYS-ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Mademoiselle Rachel had her benefit last night, when M. Legouvsni play, Louis de Lignerolles, was per formed for the first time in this country. This piece was produced at the Ti.eistre Francais fif•een years ago, and, with the Sue performance of Iddlle. Mars in the part of the heroine (though that great actress was then near the end of her long and splendid career), had a great run. Its revival by Madile. Rachel again rendered it popular, and it has for some years belonged to her regular repertoire. The drama itself is by no means of distiuguisled merit, but it is a good acting play, and some of the situa tions afford scope for Rachel's powers of expressing intense passion. . . . The piece is constructed out of materials very common on the French stage ; conjugal infidelity being the busis of the plot and the source of the interest. Henri de Ligne rolles, and Louise his wife, are a young couple, living in the country, apparently happy in mutual attachment. But the husband has au intrigue wi.h Cecile de Givry, a ci devant actress, married to Colonel de Givry, a gentle man of the neighbourhood. The liaison is discovered by the very ordinary iucidcnt of a letter from Henri de Lignerolles to Cecile falling into the hands of the injured wife. Louise intorms her rival of the discovery, and insists en her promising to keep an assignation she had made with Henri. The pair meet accordingly in a retired spot in the park, and while Henri is astonished at the paleness and tre pidation of hie paramour, Louise, dressed in white, stands before them. An agitated scene ensues ; the better feelings of the guilty couple are awakened ; the repentant Cecile departs, taking an eternal adieu of her lover, Louise yields to her husband's entreaties for pardon ; and a joyful reconciliation closes the scene. But the repentance and good resolutions of Henri and Madame de Givry are shortlived. Their intercourse is resumed, and is at length discovered by the lady's husband. She flies from her home, and in despair takes refuge in the house of I.er lover. He conceals her ; but she has been followed by her hus band, who has seen her enter the house, and now makes his appearance, demanding that she shall be given up. Henri blusters, attempts to brazen it out, and talks of giviag geatlemanly satisfaction, which the husband refuses with cut ting contempt, telling him that he will have satisfaction in a less poetical way, by recourse to the law. An officer of justice enters with a search-warrant ; but the unfortunate Louise, now made acquainted with her husband's fresh infamy, enables the guilty woman to escape. Henri again endea vours to obtain his wife's forgiveness, but it is now too late—she renounces him for ever. In the last scene, M. de Givry has consented to take no measures against him, on condition of bis quitting France; but news arrives that Cecile has become a maniac. Her husband, on this, forgets his resolution not to fight. He rushes out with Henri ; • pistol shot is heard, and De Givry appears alone. Louise exclaims, "Il est mort !" and as she sinks senseless to the grow A, the curtain falls. All this is abundantly commonplace, and its triteness is not relieved by anything striking in the literary composi tion of the play. There are some vigorous passages is the dialogue ; especially in the scene (the beet in the piece) in which the injured husband refuses to tight the seducer of his wife. "Jene me bats pas," says De (Liu, " avec les gent queje pubs mettre en prison." " Henri—Comment! vous antics la bassesse— " De Givry—Oui, certes, j'aurais la basses'e de me vengte. II y a asses long-temps que les maris sont ridicules ; votre tour, Messieurs lea &masts! II taut enfin qu'un homme demur cons chatie et vous fletrisse. Un peaces I enteudez-vous, tan proves qui di , poetise von amours ne emit que d'attacher le rein ; eh Bien! je rattatherri, mot ; les mitres me suivront." I Hut there are not many passages like this; and in the most impassioned scenes the larmusge is exaggerated and ampouk. The play will not for a moment bear a com parison with the other madam pieces, A strienne Le Courreser and Lady Tartuffe, in which Mdlle. Rachel has appeared; but it enables nor, nevertheless, to show some of her finest qualities as an actress—her grace, her dignity, and the unrivalled truth and force with which the ex prewes every variety of emotion. 'the house was crowded to excess. The play went off well, but without any great warmth of applause. At the conclusion, however, when Rachel came forward, abe was greeted with the enthusitem due to so illustrious tu artiste.
