BIOR WIN AT LONDON BRIDGE Tags Div 7A.........4an5m. &h. 17.. 7.. LONDON, rumour. JULY 6. Tax political wadi be. bass labouring under a great mistake foe the last six Of seven years. It has been taken is granted on all sides that the repeal of the Corn-laws by Sir Hone= Peet broke op the Conservative party. Conservatives themselves: have been of this opinion ; politicians of all parties have made it the basis of their arguments. At last a patriotic body of historical inquirers in the City of London have come forward to disabuse their friends and countrymen of this pestilent heresy in matter of fact. The disruption of the Conservative party, ac cording to these civic NIEBUIIIia, had quite a diffe rent origin ; what that origin was is a matter of too much importance to stick at the end of • paragraph; we therefore reserve it for the beginning of a new one. "The bill foe the endowment of Maynooth was passed in the year ISt & • • • As its first re sult, tit broke to pieces the great Conservative party, and a-single year saw the dissolution of a ministry which a short time previous seemed to enjoy the prospect of a long duration." There cannot be a doubt of it. The fact is attested under the bands of Messrs. JOTIN LABOCCIIEBZ, ALESAIiDER GILLES PIE. and "many other electors". It is true that Sir Ronan Pm., leader of the Conservative Free Traders, and Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, leader of the Conservative Protectionists, went down to their graves, poor men, with the notion that they had split about the Corn-laws, but MCSIZI. LABOUCITERE and GILLEMIE know better: it was Maynooth did it all. The first reflection suggested by this new read ing in modern English history propounded by the Ltuoteneet.Gittesels school, is—" What great events from little causes spring." The tough ein:Aitution of the Conservative party survived for many long years the political debauchery of voting thousands upon thousands of pounds to Roman Catholic priests and prelates in the colonies. "In our hot youth. when George the Third was King," we cau remember the great Tory leaders of the day, with all their followers, subscribing from their pn- Tate funds, and promoting grants from the Exchequer to console the Burnish priests who sought refuge in this country from the revolutionary storms of the continent; to find these reverend refugees (as Pk ILI" PLTMLEY wrote to brother ABRAHAM at the time) not only in food, coals, and can dles, but in pixy, , beads, and breviaries. Part of that blessed national debt, which the pre sent generation of Conservatives has the privilege of paying, was incurred by their Tory fathers to re place the Pore on his throne along with other legi timacies. All this wasteful outlay for the promotion of Popery, persevered in from 1760, when Canada was conquered, down to the present day, could not " break' to pieces the great Conservative party;" but the little grant of 20,0001. or 30,0001. a year to Maynooth did the deed. Far be it from us to ques tion the veracity or information of the LUX/MAMIE GILLESPIE historians ; but we must say that the effect of the Maynooth grant, coupled with the non-effect of so wary other immeasurably greater pro- popish grants, does very much remind us of a story of a sturdy Scotch toper. The hero of the tale, u sea soned a cask asever walked the hoards of the Edinburgh Parliament house, on his way to London, to watch the progress of an appeal in the House of Lords from some judgment of the Court of Session, slept a night at York ; for as yet railways were not. He there, in company with a professional brother, die cussed some three or four bottles of claret, on a sub stratum of port and sherry, finishing off with sundry tumblers of strong whiskey toddy. Next morning, when he appeared at breakfast, he in funned his friend that be had not been able to sleep —" that cold mutton we had for supper threw him into a perfect fever." The Maynooth grant has been the cold mutton of the great Conservative PST" Another remarkable consequence of this Mayseedi grant ts the different ways in which participation I. its transfer from the miscellanous estimates to the Consolidated Fund, has abated the claims of differeat individuals to the sosidesee d Oonowvatives. Were Sir RODEMT Perm now alive no minseisMions anti- Maynooth Conservative could vote hr him; bet nay art to a man unanimous in their mapped of Lord Muer, though it fell to the lot of tint **blooms, then Baron Bleeitserstex., to any the massuro safe through the lipase of Dries. The Lueoncizaz- Omuarti sages spine that seta the Mayseeth grant is rescinded there mast exist in limiter& a government posesesing any reel power; call upon their repoontatives in parliament they to concur "in all ...scorn " tending "to pro mote the repeal of the grant." And they place their reliance for its withdrawal he y: Lord DERBY and Mr. Dfsasett, who both to saddle it on the Consolidated Fund, and refute to pledge themselves to its repeal "at present." Is much of truth is there in the old proverb, that en man may with impunity steal a hone, when it wield be dangerous for another to look at the animal nor a hna. lu&e adhesion of Commovative anti-llaysoothites to the licaar-Lmsaant mini p ani t there is either much folly or mach knavery; them ma y be a mixture of both.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. To-day I have to rend you a notable instance of tho present mode of dealing with the press under the dictatorial decree of the 17th February. The 32nd article of that decree allows the government to pro ' ceed to the suspension or suppression of a journal which has been convicted of a press-offence during the two months that succeed that conviction. Now on the 18th of last May the Corsairs was convicted before the tribunal of the Seine for exciting to con tempt of the government. M. de Maupss has thought proper to take advantage of this misfortune of the legitimist paper to pronounce, after a lapse of six weeks, the suspension of the Corsairs for two months. A decree to this effect appears in the ifuniteur. The Moats is requested to state that the Corsairs will resume its publication at the expiration of the two months. The particular offence of the Corsaire which has drawn down this chastisement is not spe cified. The sentence of the court-martial of Monpellier, by which seventeen insurgents of December are con demned to the guillotined, has produced a sensation of profound horror. Judgment having gone by de fault against six of the accused, the number of heads doomed to fall in the public place of Bedarieux, the Irene of their crimes,is eleven. The offence for which these men have been condemned to death is the mur der of three gendarmes. Thus military justice makes a shambles of a French town to punish a crime which was the immediate consequence of the coup cletat of December, and the lives of eleven men arc to be taken in cold blood for acts of violence, which, however atrocious, were committed in the strife of civil war. As no page in the history of the bloody events of last December, gives a more striking picture of the character of the insurrection in thesouthern departments, I shall nar rate hero briefly the events of Bedarieux, upon which the sentence of court-martial, given in my letter of yesterday, is founded. On the night of December :I the emissaryof a secret society at Berle», in the Ilerault, brought to Bederieux the signal for insurrection. In the canton of Bedarieux alone there were as many . as three thousand affiliated members, which comprises the whole population of artisans and labourers. They were organised, armed, and in communication with the secret societies of Paris and Lyons, as well as those of their own de partments. On the 4th the ateliers had emptied their swarms into the streets and cafes of the town. Men mounted on tables, with inflamed features and violent gesture stirred up the people to march on the town-hall and the quarters of gen darmes. The mayor having appealed in vein to the better class of citizens in support of order, finding towards c'ose of day his residence besieged by the insurrection, dismissed the brigade, consisting of only five gendarmes, charging them with despatches for succour to neighbouring towns, and then retired himself. Favoured by the dark, and charging the crowd with fixed bayonet, the gendarmes succeeded in making their way good to their barrack; but before they could get out their horses to start with the despatches, they were blockaded by an infuriated mob. fhe quarter-muter Leotard, and the gen darme Brugiii4ree, made a desperate attempt to sally out, and discharging their carbines, killed an insurgent. This was the signal for a regular siege. The insurgents took possession of the neighbouring houses, and poured from the windows en incessant fire into the barracks. Their first victim w..s the wife of the gendarme Flacon, who fell shot through the head, as she was standing at the window. The besieged continued to hold out with desperate bravery, until fire was set to the `ate of the court-yard. Faggots were brought from the bakers, piled against the door, and fixed amid s t the yells of men and women. Driven from their quartersby the flames and awoke, three of the gen darmes scaled, by means of a rope ladder, a par tition wall, and took refuge in the house of one Mical, a small tradesman. The remainin g two, the same who had sallied forth in the beginning and killed an insurgent, being badly wounded, con aided themselves as they could. Meanwhile, the &Mil" door having been rent away, the insurgents burst in. The unfortunate Brugnieres was found under a mattress on a heap of litter in the yard, and shot by 'several, who discharged their • gnu erase to him. The horses were thee shot.

Another Zollverein congress was held at Beilin, on the Ist inst. The Berlin cabinet, represented by M. Prate/tell, called upon the delegates to declare, with as little delay as possible, whether they would accept the llanover treaty or not, but did not tlx any latest date for its acceptance or rejection. The Prussian newspapers agree in ascribing great disunion to the coalesced of Darmstadt, and represent them as seeking a bridge by which to pass over to M. Manteuffel. On the other hand, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden are treating with Austria for a common representa tion of their commercial interests abroad ; facts which presuppose a severance of the three first states from the Zollverein. The Vienna Gazette of the Ist inst. contains the formal announcement of M. 13ismark-Selninhausen's reception by the Emperor of Austria, on the pre. sentation of his credentials, at Buda, on the 24th ult. M. Bismark is styled an ambassador and minister plenipotentiary on extraordinary mission, and as provisionally filling the place of Count Arnim, ambassador extraordinary to the imperial court.

The nomination for candidates to represent the ancient City of Leaden took place this day in Guildhall. ♦t 10 o'clock precisely, the doors of the great hall were erased, and from the attention of Mr. Secondary Potter, every ageoessnedation was provided for the representatives of the press. Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL, in commencing the proceed ings, said it was his duty to tell them that every speaker who should present himself, was entitled to a fair hearing. Mr. THOMPSON RANKNT, the governor of the Bank of England, came forward and proposed Lord Juhn Russell es a fit and proper candidate for the city of London. (Greet cheering.)` It was not necessary for him to expatiate on the statesmanlike qua:ities of that noble lord, for he was suffi ciently well known to the public by his politics and past conduct, and he hoped the citizens would, by their choice of representatives, show their attachment to free trade principles. Mr. DILLore briefly seconded the nomination. Mr. HEsky Jaws. Pasecorr proposed Baron Lionel de Rothschild. Mr. Alderman Winn, in seconding the nomination, mid that, having elected the Baron in 1847, and reelected him in 1849, he was sure they would be true to their principles by electing him again in 18.52. (Cheers.) Mr. Resent. Ewen proposed Mr. Mssterman—(cheers) —and Mr. JOHN B. Baron seconded the nomination. Mr. MAKTINSAIV proposed, and Mr. Alderman Lew 111MCIlseconded, Sir James Duke, amidst great confusion. Mr. Deputy J. HALL proposed Mr. Crawford, and was seconded by Mr. Ranier BATEMAN, who obtained a hear ing with great difficulty. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then came forward, and was re ceived with the most enthusiistic cheering. His lordship said that he appeared before them again to solicit a conti nuance of their confidence u a friend of religious liberty. He had proposed and was succesdnl in the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, and was an sdvocate for free trade. In 1831 he hail proposed an I carried the largest measure of reform which had been proposed or carried in modern times. He had done his best to remove all diatibili ties on account of religion, and if he had nut succeeded; it was the fault of the people of England. Ile acknowledged that the Reform Act was in many respects deficient, and that it was therefore necessary that they should proceed to give it additional force, and that was the object of the bill which he bad brought in during the last session. In the came of his political life he had nu doubt viminitted many errors, but they should recollect that good u well as bad bad been committed. A GENTLEMAN inquired whether his lordship was in favour of the ballot ? Lord JOHN Resume said he was against secret voting. If be were sent to parliament he would exercise his own judgment rather than act like an automaton, who would move according to the wires by which ho would be moved behind the scenes. (Cheers.) Baron Itoensextue said a victory in the City would be viewed with a jealous eye by the present government. Much bad been said about him with respect to .kustrie, but in that country there were two important functionaries who were Jewe. (Cheers.) He appealed to them as English. men to return him to parliament, and thus support the principle of civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.) Mr. MASPARMAN, who was received with immense ap plause, 'messed his determination to maintain the rights and privileges of the electors• of London, and hoped they would suggest him at the poll to-morrow. &r Jan* DUKE said that, during the three years he W been *lir representative, he had advocated and sup ported Moral principles. He left the ease in their hands, sad was sure they would not disappoint Mr. Catwpoan next came forward. He said he was not • candidate, but he was bound to say that he fully appre• Mated the feeling which had been exhibited towards him in the city. He would not take up their time by any ad vocacy of his own claims, for they were not put forward by his own sanction. (Cheers.) A show of hands was then taken, which the sheriffs declared to be in favour of Lord John Russell, Baron Rothschild, Mr. M.sterman, and Mr. Crawford, and they were accordingly declared duly elected. A poll was de manded by Sir James Duke. fir TbOraaX Fremantle, the chairmen of the Board of Customs, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, yesterday, at his official residence in Downing street. Sir John Plenehel, Muter of the Mint, had also an interview with the right hon. gentleman. Mr. Warren had en interview yesterday with Mr. Seere tary WalPole- Despatches were received at the Csisalsk•sdice, yeast , day, from the Uovernors of New Hnaisaidi sad Nova tiestis, LAMBETH. The various committees of the respective candi dates made their appearance on the hustings on Kenning ton Common precisely at 10. Mr. H. ONSLOW, the returning officer, read the writ, when the three candidates were duly introduced. Mr. W. Cony proposed Mr. D'Eyacourt, and Mr. KNorr seconded the proposition, Mr. Duel:rote proposed, and Mr. LYON seconded Mr. Williams. Mr. BOYINGTON proposed, and Mr. Bzwr.u. seconded, Mr. Wilkinson. The proposers and seconders were, as usual at:electioneer ing contests, greeted with cheers and hisses. "No coali tion," and " Let D'Eyncourt and Wilkinson stand alone," were uttered by the friends of Mr. Wilkinson, whilst the parties were advocating the claims of the other too candi• dates. Mr. Es-noway, on maleng his appearance in front of the hustings, was received with cries of " Retire," " Go hack," &e. The confusion at length became so great that Mr D'Eyncourt was obliged to give way, when— Mr. SEWELL resumed his address in favour of Mr. Wil kinson. Mr. D'ETNCOUII2 again made his appearance in front of the hustings, but wu received in a similar manner as be fore. The hon. gentleman, however, continued to address the meeting, but scarcely a word could be heard. So far as could be understood, he denied the charges brought against him. (Cars of " How much did you give to the cholera sufferer 1" rent the air.) Mr. Witninson interposed, and claimed the indulgence of the meeting for Mr. D'Evocourt. Mr. D'Ermeottur continued for nearly an hour to address the electors, hut very tew words could be heard, unless " How about Mn. Okay's ball and the poor widow,?" At length, Mr. WILLIAMS made his appearance, and was hailed with "No coalition." As soon as silence was somewhat restored, the hon. gentleman proceeded to say, that two years ago ho made his appearance on that platform, as a candidate to represent them in parliament. Ile had now served them two years, and, with the exception of Mr. Hume, no one had done more than be had to protect their pockets. Ho neat laid before tho electors the line of conduct he had pursued in the house, and added that, if they did not think his past conduct deserved their support, he would at once retire. (Cries of " Why don't D'Eyncourt to do so ?" and shoe,.) Mr. Wil liams concluded by saying he would leave his cause in their hands, when loud cries ot " Williams and Wilkinson" were raised. Mr. Witinuore, on appearing, was lordly cheered. He addressed the electors in similar terms as he advanced the previous evening, and promised, if returned, to do all he could to benefit the borough, and he hoped he should never do anything that would Cause them to regret their choice. ONSLOW then called for a show of hantle and de clared the majority to be in favour of Messrs. Williams and Wilkinson. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. D'Eyncourt, which is to take place t 0.10017011. Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. Wttatteson next thanked the electors, but craved their support at the poll, Mr. D'ETNCOURT afterwards made an attempt to ad dress them, bat was received with shouts of disapprobation. He *included by saying he was sure be should be at the heed of the poll to-morrow. A vete of thanks was then panted to the returning officer and the proceedings terminated. GREENWICH. The greatest possible excitement prevailed throughout this borough, which includes the naval in habitants of Rotherhithe, Deptford, and Greenwich, with the undying penchant for " the powers that be." Mr. CHANIIESS, the returuing officer, having made the usual proclamation, Mr. Rorr, the engineer, of Woolwich, came forward and proposed Alderman Samisens. Mr. Dowsoc seconded the nomination. Admiral Stewart, Mr. Montagu Chambers, and Mr. Reit were then severally nominated, but before their names were announced, a considerable disturbance and confusion was created by Mr. Morgan, a chartist, at Deptford, coming forward and proposing . • Mr. Knight, another chartist, which was met with violent hootiogs and laughter, and ended in the discomfited chartist retiring altogether. The several candidates having taddreued the meeting, a show of halide was called for. The Returning Officer then declared the election to have fallen on Mr. Rult and Mr. Chambers. A poll was then demanded on the part of Admiral Stewart and Alderman Salomon., which takes place to morrow, at eight o'clock. HESSE DARMSTADT. The Darmstadt legislature was suddenly pro rogued, sine die, ou the Ist instant. The obvious o b.l jest of the ministry was to get rid of the Zollverein resolution of M. Muller-Melchior, in condemnation of the separatist policy of the cabinet. Tho resolution had come back to the chamber, recommended by the select cummittee, and there was every probability of its adoption that day. ITALY. ROMAN STATES. Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 30th of June, states that a new emission of copper had been ordered, and measures were being concerted for meet. ing the deficit of last year. New treasury certificates were talked of. Silver, 61 per cent. The Pope's anger against the finance minister, Galli, was soothed down, and that functionary had been received by his holiness, whilst hisaccuser was threat ened with jail. The Roman medical men refused to pay the tax on profeartons. Murray was still ill in prison, and the Pope had come to no determination as to his fate. Brigands had robbed travellers in the forest of An gum, twenty miles from Rome. SWITZERLAND. Accounts from the canton of Neufchatel state that the royalist party, who desire the return of the can ton to Prussia, intend to make &grand demonstration of their auherents at an annual meeting of the bur gesses, which is to be held on the 6th July at Valen gin, with the view of influencing the Federal Assem bly which is about to commence its session at I Berne. The republicans, on their part, have re 'solved to make a counter-demonstration at the same place on the same day. At the elections for the Grand Council in March last, the royalist party only ob tained 14 returns, whilst the repub.icans had 74 ; but in the elections for the Council of State, which took place a few days ago, they obtained 11 nomina tions out of 28 ; and besides they are greatly encou raged by the recent signing of the protocol at Lon don by the great powers. The' Swiss journals state that not only the most enlightened and wealthy portions of the population of the canton, but the great mass of the conservative party in Switzerland are on the side el the republicans on this special question.

ALGIERS. We have received Algiers papers to the 30th tilt. They confirm the acoounts previously given of the nearly total suppression of the insurrection in the province of Constantine, and give the following do , tails of the late affair on the frontier of Morocco: 1 The column from Tlemcen was encamped at the Ouedkia, on the frontier, having he front of it the Moorish Kabylee, who were on the crest of the hills. On the 15th the French troops advanced, is order to empty the silos of the village of El Maki, which belonged to those Kabyles, and a great qaantity of wheat and barley was brought away, though not without resistant* ea the part of the enemy, who had more than 200 men killed is the affair. The loaa of the French was Ida killed sad 60 wounded. After this combat the Kabyles no Wager showed thelauelves near the French camp. By these journals we also learn that the French fleet, which lift Algiers on the 24th ult., was on the following day at Palermo. On its pangs it fell in with the English squadron under Admiral Dundas,l consisting of seven sail of the line and six frigates.l I A smart shock of earthquake was felt at Algiers on the evening of the 29th. The mediation was from out to west. No damage was occasioned by the shock. MURDER AND ROBBERY NEAR LIVERPOOL.—On Nunday morning the budy'of a sailor was found at Birken head with the head frightfully battered in end hie pockets rifled. Ile had been drinking on the previous night, and suspicion fell upon two men who bad been seen in his com p.day during the evening. These men were apprehended in the Roman catholic chapel, Camden-street, and, after an examination before the magistrates, were remanded until to•morrow. THE OU'TRAGEB AT STOCKPORT. The investigation before the magistrates of the circumstances attending this late riots hers was resumed = rday morning, at 10 o'clock, in the Stockport Court following was the principal additional evidence addaeed Taos: Picken, manservant to Alderman Graham, a sur geon—A quarter or 20 minutes past 7 on Tuesday night I last heard and I opened the yard fates and looked down Park-row. Stones were then dying in all directions. I closed the gate. Neu 8 o'clock Mrs. Graham said " Thomas, I wish you would fetch your master." I said, "Itis a very danger ous affair." She said she could not do without hint, for the people had broken ffill the front windows. They were Irish that I bad seen throwing. I went for my master, and he tame with me along High-street, but stopped to speak to a gentleman. As I turned round into St. Peter's square I saw about 20 women and men running towards High-street, throwing stones, and women with aprons full of atones and half bricks. Trey were Irishmen throwing, and running after a party who I think were English, and who went in the direction of High-street. I was struck with a boulder, and caught hold of the man who threw it, and he and I went down together. Many other people helped the man, and I got many blows and kicks, and became mesas. able. A constable and master rescued me, and I was taken into the surgery. Whsn my job happened (when he was knocked down) it was near eight o'clock, I think. The crowd werearmed, when I first opened the yard door, with stones, beam-handles , pokers, led such like. Should not know the man who hit me on the head with the brick. When asked whether the man who first hit him was English or Irish, he replied, with considerable empha sis, " Irish." By Mr. Gibson. It was about three minutes from iny leaving my master to the time I received the blow. I was stunned by the first blow. I ?revival two other blows immediately afterwards. When I received the first blow I was looking hack to see if my master was follow ing. I cannot say whether the mau who struck me first struck me again. I could not have been insensible many minutes. 1 did not give anyone into custody. I said I thought the man whom Walker gave into custody was the one who struck me. By the Court—Mr. Graham had a basket full of paving "tones, which he had ga'hered, and which had been thrown through the windows. I have seen the basket. 1 did not see where the stones came from. I was not present when they were picked up. There were five or ea stones and a piece of wood in the basket. At the request of Mr. Gibson, Mr. Dooley, the last wit- MIS who was examined on Saturday, was re-called. B Mr. Gibson—l was in Rock-row several timee on W y. I Ent went about 7 o'clock in the morning. I observed on the doors and abutters of the houses in Rock row sod the neighbourhood " English" and " England for ever," written in chalk. I do not remember seeing " Irish" upon them. I saw no appearance of violence to the houses marked %. English." There are about 23 houses on the left hand side of Rock-row. I saw this writing on two or three of these houses. There are only two or three English residents. The words were written in large legible characters. Oneof those houses on which the word English was written, was inhabited by Irish ; the rest were English, I believe. I bad not seen this writing on the houses on Tuesday. I saw this writing on two or three houses of Mr. Sykes s, on the side of Carr-green. I did not notice that any of these houses had been broken into. For anything I could distin guish in the character of the writing, all might have been written by one person. Oa Tuesday evening I went to the Union workhouse, up Lord-street, Wellington-road, past the railway station and Shaw-heath. 1 don't remember seeing any person thrashed. I don't remember my wife beseech ing some one to give over thrashing a man; but I wits not with her all the time. I have not heard of It. I stopped to talk to some persons near the toll-bar, which is from eighty to • hundred yards from the workhouse lodge . I could not see the dis turbance from the workhouse. When I was at the toll bar I saw the ems d go up to the Edgeley Chapel. It might be about 10 minutes from the time I left Bt. Peter's-square. I believe it was not 10u'clock when I heard anise of windows breaking. By Mr. Sanders—Most likely some Irish Roman catholic' can write. The writing might have been put on the bowel after 6 o'clock in the morning. The crowd might have been 60 yards from me at Edgi ley. It was light enough for me to see them. They continued shouting all the time I was there. I could hear the smashing of glass distinctly. I vas at the toll bar three times, and the second and third time I saw flames at Edgeley Chapel. I heard the smashing of plass about a quarter of an hour before I saw the flames. I think it is rather longer to go from St. Peter'sequare to the catholic chapel by Greek-street than by the railway road. By Mr. Reddish—Then might be five or six houses on which English " wss written I believe there is more than one English family on the left-hand side of Rock-row. I slept with my wife and family at the workhouse. I came to my own house between ten and eleven to see if all was ode. I saw the fire as I was coming. I did not give any information to the police of the disturbance I had seen, nor ofi'er myself as a medal constable. By Mr. Gibson—l left my wife and family in great alarm. She has been ill ever since. She is sister to the governor of the workhouse. liarrin; Dimity, wife of the but witness, said-Bt.

" Yon are, perhaps, aware that he was M.P. for the Stir ling Burgin, but in consequence of such votes he has re ceived notice to quit, end consequently has resolved to try his fortune here.

Do not take my word fur it, but make a little inquiry, and you will fin d it to be so. Are we to be ridden roughshod over by a pack of blood thirst Papists, and vote for the man that encourages them! No ! After the sample of the British Lion' dis played the other night, I am persuaded your hearts are still in the right place. Let Father Frith recommend him to some place in Connaught, where they will jump at him. Do not let us disgrace ourselves by sending him. These are not the times to minas matters. Who knows what there is brewing at the present time ? Let us send tried men. Let us rally round Mr. Heald and Mr. Ker shaw, who have both voted in direct opposition to the motley Socinian, Papist, Anythhsgarian, and send him to the right about.

The improvement in the weather since our last leas had considerable influence on the tone of the wheat trade, and business has again become exceedingly . dull. The pr e . veiling impression appears to be that no injury has )et been done to the growing crop of wheat, and that with favour able weather during tl e remainder of the mummer the yield would be abundant. The reports respecting barley and oats are, with few exceptions, of a favountble character ; but there is reason to fear that potatoes will again 'Lidr from disease. Accounts have within the last few days reached us from different parts of the kingdom, stating that very suspicious symptoms have begun to show themselves about the leaves and haulm of this plant. The public have, how ever, become so accustomed of late years to re; orta of an un favourable nature respecting the potato crop, that compara tively little importance is now attuebed to the subject ; and hitherto the statements referred to have produced no effect. That the failure, or even a partial lose of this valuable reel, I would tell seriously, cannot be doubted. as the breadth planted on this side of the channel, as well as is Ireland, is greater than usual this season. The position of the Grain trade is at the moment such that it is quite impossible to foresee its future Courac, and all parties seem to deem it prudent to act on the reser‘e. No particular anxiety has been manifested by those holding stocks to realise, as they consider it by no means hnpr o . bible that a few wet days might afford them a chance of obtaining better prices than those now current. Buyer., or , the other hand, appear equally inilifferent,preferring to run the risk of having to pay somewhat higher rates hereafter rather than add to their stock, the hand-to-mouth sy , trez of purchasing having for a long time past proved the most advantageous. Haymaking has been commenced, and will be pretty general next week. During the time farmers are occupied in securing this crop, they will have little leisure for bring ing ,corn to market ; and we may therefore expect a t mpo rary falling off in the deliveries ; but this will not, we:think, influence prices, if nothing occurs during the cone time of a character to cause uneasiness respecting the outstanding grain crops. The latteat advice, from Scotland inform us that the weather had been showery in the early pat t of the week, but afterwards it had improved. The growing crops are well spoken of in that part of the kingdom, the rain in May and June having done no harm. Il u ,i ness was in active on Wednesday both at Edinburgh and Glasgow. At the former place, wheat, barley, and oats receded in value ; but at Gatsgow previous prices were tolerably well supported. I. rem Ireland the accounts respecting the weather are not favourable, more rain having fallen there than on this side of the channel. The wheat-plant is described as tolerably promising; but want are said to have grown too much to straw. Potatoes in many parts of the island had I begun trashsw unequivocal signs of ducats, and would, it was feared, turn out much worse titan last year. The dull advice, from this side had, however, tended to cheek any rise, and prices of grain had remained nearly as before. Business at Mark-lane has been very quiet throughout the week ; there has been no absolute giving way in prices, but the tendency has certainly been that way. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of London have been very small, only 2,277 gra. having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening; the quantity brou.tht for ward by land-carriage samples from the home counties has meanwhile been trivial, and there has consequently been no great pressure on the market ; notwithatanding winch, the turn has been against the sellers. On Wednesday a few small lots of Essex wheat changed hands, at about previous terms; but these were scarcely obtainable on Friday, The weather having in the interval assumed a more settled ap pearance. We have had very few offers of wheat from the cast coast, the Lincolnshire shippers having directed their consignments to the north. From abroad only 14,223 iirr. of wheat have been re ceived. Moderate as this supply unquestionably is, it has proved sufficient to satisfy the demand, and considerable difficulty has been experienced in effecting sales at former terms. The operations on Wednesday were confined to small lota of Danzig and fine red Baltic, fur which previous prices were paid. On Friday the article was almost wholly neglected, and we question whether the millers could have been induced to buy beyond what they needed f a r imme diate use, even if sellers had been willing to submit to lower terms._ In the free on board trade very little has been done. The arrivals off the coast from porta cast of Gibraltar have been few, but there has been more disposition to purchase distant cargoes. From the Baltic there have been some offers, without, however, leading to business. Moderately good qualities of red, weighing 60 to 61 lbs. per bushel, m ght have been bought at about 40s. per qr. cost, freight, and insurance, and liner kinds at corresponding reel. The sale for town-made II cur has beau exceedingly slow, but no change has taken place in the nominal top price, nor have fresh country marks been sold cheaper than last week. - The arrivals from America have been on rather a liberal male, viz., 10,746 brla. The receivers have not displayed sky particular anxiety to realm, and the best brands have been held firmly at late rates. Supplies of home-grown barley have almost ceased to come forward, and there can be no doubt that this grain so very scarce in all parts of the kingdom. The receipts from abroad have, however, thus far prevented the smafinecs of the supply of English b, ing felt, and prices have of late tended downwards rather than otherwise. This week more firmness has been shown, and though the inquiry . has not been by any means active, good grind ing qualities Dave brought full terms. The supply of foreign barley his amounted to only 2,713 qrs. this week, but some quantity is believed to be on passage from the Danish Islands, and we continue from titan to time to have free on board offers from the Baltic. The demand for malt has been of a retail character, but the article has not been sold cheaper than before. The arrivals of oats coastwise and from Ireland have been small, and the receipts from abroad not nearly so liberal as of late. The greater portion of Vie recent foreign supply has now been cleared off the market, and the trade is gradually recovering from the depression under which it has for some weeks laboured. The large &aloe arc, however, for the most part, well stocked, and we can not therefore expect a very extensive demand at present. We have, however, experis need a moderate consumptive inquiry since last Monday, and the rates then entrust have been well supported for good sweet corn. The sale for beans has been rather checked by the rise which has recently taken place in prices. The business done has, however, been at very full terms. Scarcely any peas have appeared at market since klon• day, and quotations have undergone no change. Indian corn has, in consequence of unfavourable reports from Ireland respecting the appearance of tht potato crop s been held with renewed firmness. FOREIGN. The advice' from the north of Europe report little change l in ead in he tneral position of the corn trade at any of the g ge ports. Danzig letters of the 29th of June state that vegetation was suffering for want of rain; the weather had then, however, assumed rather an unsettled aspect, promising a fall of moisture. The growing wheat crop in that neigh bourhood was promising, but spring corn was supposed to have suffered ,from drought. Hardly a bargain had take% place during the preceding week in wheat; high prices had continued to be asked for granaried parcels, and scarcely any fresh supplies had come forward. Fine hag wheat had commanded rates equal to 445. to 4tia. per qr. free on board. From Stettin we learn, under date of jibe 2Sth that after a few days of dry weather a return of rain had taken place, and that this state of things hail caused consi derable uneasiness to be felt respecting the outstanding grain mope In the absence. however, of anything like an active export demand, holders had been unable to establish an improvement on previous prime, and quotations wore then much the same as on that day selinight. Wheat was said to have been partially blighted, and the potato disease wen reported to prevail extensively. At Hosteek, on Monday last, holders of wheat were very Arm, the weather having for some time been wet. Potatoes wero reported to have suffe.red Crum the rains, and great fears were entertained that this plant would be again attacked by the murrain. Business an corn had not been brisk, and quotations had undergone little change since that day se'nnight. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, there were no sellers of Lower Baltic red wheat, weighing 61Ibs. per bushel. below 3Ss. to 395. per qr. free on board, at which rates, however, there were but few buyers. Tho moat recent accounts from Holland speak well of the crops of grain ; but a letter from Emden, dated Tues day last, states that the rapeseed crop in Hanover had' been attacked by a disease similar to the potato blight, • and it was feared that this crop would prove very de fective. Reports from Rotterdam inform us that a moderate ex tent of business was done in wheat on Monday at about former term. 803111 were in request, but oats met a slow sale. At Groningen, on Tuesday, this grain was also difficult of sale, and the turn was in favour of the buyer; fine 421 be. Yolanda were then quoted 18a. 3d. to 18s. dd.; good ditto, of 391hs. to 401b5., 171.6 d. to 17s. 9d. ; and feed from 18a.b up to 180. per qr. free on board. Freight to London by large ship. was 10s. to 11$. ; and by small craft, 12s. per last, with 10 per cent. From the more distant ports the advices are not of much intvre-t at present. A letter from Galatr, of the 14th ult , states that little had been done there since the close of the preview; month, either in wheat or Indian corn. Wh e at was quoted 235. to 265. 11d. per qr. tree on board. according to quolity.
