• affairs and it is affirmed that the Porte has Nns•nted this time to admit the Charlemagne t j o augh the Dartlauelles. It is probable, however, that she will have to dismount her guns; after which. ef .ourse, there c3uld be no objection on the side of the Porte. On the other hand, it France is so gasious to give the l'apitan Pasha en opportunity of win ing a screw steamer, and so disinterested in the costion of science, that she does does not scruple to rend out fiom France expressly for this purpose alto hart seicw-steamer ever built, one cannot see why the comparatively small inconvenience of taking c ab er tio guns, in submission to treaties, before gaming the Dardanelles, should be objected to. It appears that the news received from Africa is eery grace. and by 110 means favourable to the • imnient. Ihe .%Igiers newspapers of the 23th, whul o i.h are due, have not arrived. The journals of . Ton ainl Marseilles and other places of the south bate b ee n examined before their publication. Every I mo no, it should seem, is taken to prevent the can tons of the latest African mail from transpiring. I bear that the editor of the Pays has abstained from publishing a letter which ho has from Algiers, in t oesopii nee of the expiessed wish of the government to t his effect. I am unable to obtain any particu lars of w hat has happened, and can only give you the surmises that proceed apparently from efforts to comeal the IIeWS. M. de Li Gueiraniii. , re, editor of the Pays, declares t.)-Jiy publicly his inteat• of proceeding by way of prosecution against the libellous attack of the Duke de IGrtigo upon him in the Cormier. The J...irnal eV la roar, conducted by M. Meyer, es.rttlacteur of the Palrie, has lived rose-like for a single morning. It made its first, loot, and only appearance yesterday, and to-day has sunk into the grave. whither it uas preceded by the Public of Laniartinii , re. M. Fortoul, the Minister of Public Instruction, bas strained the duties of his office to the extraor dinary eats nt of reprimanding a professor for writing bad verses in a newspaper. M. Valentin Parizot, a profoosir of literature in the faculty of letters at Co-iambic, wrote some lines in a provincial journal t allied the Nation/it, and signed them " `'al. P." The authorship being discovered, M. Fortoul, in a long . formal decree. lays down the rule that although a private individual may be permitted to brave ridi cule by publishing bad verses Sou rhan( rise.), yet a member of the "corps lilleraire,' the depository and guardian of sound literary traditions, mutt not, by publishing verses contrary to good sense and good taste. derogate from the character of the body to • he has the honour to belong. Professor Val. Parizot is, therefore, to be publicly reprimanded by the aeatlemic council of the Isi:re, and cautioned to be more careful in future. The Eehu tle l'i , sone publishes the following com municated article: At the instigation of the journal 1: Enseiptentent, some teachers have *Jilts seed to the Prince President of the Re public colleetive petitions relative to the bill on public in struction. We remind these functionaries that collective petitions are formally prohibited to them, and that they tanuJt infringe on that prohibition without subjecting la.:nue:yes to disciplinary punishments. - - The municipal affairs of Toulouse are now under mil.tary management. Since the dissolution of the municipal council, M. Chapuys-Montlacille, the pre fect of the Haute Garonne, has appointed a muni cipal commission, consisting of Colonel Cailhamou, tharged to perform the functions of mayor, and Col. Paborrv, a commander of the Legion of Honour, and Col. Polycarp, an officer of the Legion of Honour, assisted by two other persons, to bo mayors fuljoints.

A letter from ltome says:—" When the Triumvi- Tate imposed a forced contribution on the city of Ferrara, the majority of the citizens resisted pay ment until the progress of events brought back the Pope. The Pupal government refused to acknow ledge the impost, and the people of Ferrara were very well content. Within these few days, how ever. they have been informed that the Holy Father, taking his stand on the principle of equahty before the law, requires that all who have not paid the tax shall do so forthwith." PIEDMONT. Count Camillo Cavour left Turin on the 26th, fur London, with a nephew. The bill on the Na'ional Bank was voted in the sitting of the 25th of the Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies by 94 votes to 22. By this bill the capital is increased from to 32 millions of francs, to be raised by shares of I,ltistfr. each; 250 fr. to be paid down immediately, 250 fr. in six months, 2301 r. more in 1%53, and the rest when called for by the council of the bank, with the consent of the government. The bank ;a bound to advance to the government, when required, sums to the amount of 15 millions of francs at 3 per cent. upon public securities ; and it must always to ready to meet such demands on the part of the government. It is authorised in return to establish two discount offices at Turin and Genoa. TUSCANY. Last night, is will beseen by our parliamentary report, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, confirming the statement made on Monday in these columns, informed the House of Commons that Tuscany had done all that England could wish as far as the Mather misunderstanding between the two countries is con cerned, having made a most ample acknow ledgm ent of regret as to everything that has occur with respect to Mr. Mather, and also an unequivocal acknowledgment of her responsibility as an inde pendent state to protect all British subjects, whether travelling or resident in the country Under these circumstances, " the very best sentiments subsist be tween the government of her Majesty and that of the Grand Duke." ---- - A letter on this subject published in the Dicifpen dalv,, and dated Leghorn, June 21, says: The Mather Mail was definitively settled on Saturday last, the Ittth lest. The Tama government has trier mined to Sir H. Bulwer a note in which it is asimowledged at the outset that affairs 'titbit kind wiegbt he be settled by the civil tribunals, and that, it Mitre, they Mud; he so de Wed.

GERMANY. THE ZOLLVEREIN. BERLIN, Jess 26. The Berlin Naehriehten states that the reply of the governments belonging to the Darmstadt coati tion has been drawn up by NI. von der Pfordten, the Bavarian premier, and is now lying before the various cabinets for their sanction. In this memo rial, it is stated, great complaint is made that Prussia should have entered into a treaty with Hanover without so much as reserving to her colleagues of the 'Zollverein the right of ratifying the arrange ment ; and, as all the states of the union have equal rights, the act complained of is characterised as un just. From this point the writer passel to the con sideration of the material questions at issue, and seeks to show that, by the alterations in the relative position of the states which the Hanoverian treaty would bring about, the governments of theDarmstadt coali tion are so menaced, that approximation to Austria is a step dictated by the impll of self-preservation. On behalf of Saxony it is urged that the entrepot system which is provided for in the Hanoverian tasty, so threatens the prosperity of the state, and especially the Leipzig fairs, that at any rate Saxony could not lose more by attaching herself to Austria than by remaining in the Zollverein in its proposed new form. The tone of the reply, according to the authority already quoted, is conciliatory, a feet which in Berlin is held to favour the inference that since l'russia is resolved to hold her ground, and Austria cannot in her present situation offer those favourable terms for the foundation of a new Verein which were once talked of, the Darmstadt government will not after all leave the union, which has hitherto brought them nothing but good. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1852 Otho concluded a convention with the Patriarch acknowledging a modified authorit7 on his part, and in a corresponding degree diminishing the indepen deuce of the national church. It is against this arrangement that the Monk Christophoros has taken the field, from which the government finds it so diffi cult to drive him. Zbe Court.

When they got to the cross-roads they seemed not to know which way to go, nor did they seem to know which was the site where the Crystal Palace is going to be placed. I was ' just going to turn back and speak to them (they seemed to wish some one might come up to show them the way to go, and to show them the spot), when a labouring man came by, and ho want and spoke to them, and showed them the spot and the way for them to go.

The legislative body has memorialised the Senate requesting that the settlement of the constitution may be proceeded with irrespectively of all unautho rised intenneddling. It will be remembered that the Federal Diet lately sent a message against the article giving IVAN equal privileges with Chris tian citizens. The Chamber of Commerce has also petitioned the Semite, praying it to take care that the free city may nut lose the benefits of the Zollverein, which, however, it would gladl)• see united in a com mercial treaty with .tustria. The chnintitr also ad hems to the n-solution of the merchants of Hesse Cassel nut to have anything to du with the notes of the Friedrich Wilhelm Northern Railway. The i'est Gazette of Frankfurt states, on the au thority of a letter from Vienna, that the reserved shares of the Hank id Vienna will not be issued until , after the halt of the new lean shall be paid up. After that period each Iwltier of a bank share will be I entitled to a ne uI the reserved sharer. BREMEN. Two young ladies, Minks. Meyer and Winder mann, halo jug been imprisoned for political writing. According to the .luipbury Allgenbeine Zeitung, it is intended to increase the federal army, by making the matricular proportion of effective soldiers one and a quarter instead of one per cent. for all the states. SWITZERLAND. The question of the revision of the constitution of the canton of the Valois has been put to the vote; and 8,939 votes to 454 decided that a committee of revision should be nominated. A letter from Neufchatel of the 22nd, says: The royalists have met with another check, the bur• genes lime selected for the conked of administration seven teen republicans and eleven royalists, so that the financial administration of the place has now passed into the hands of the republican party. TURKEY. It has already been stated that the English mai dents had given n grand dinner to Viscount Strat ford.• At this dinner a very complimentary address, numerously signed, was presented to the noble lord, and his health was drunk nith great enthusiasm. He replied in a spetch in which he said: Such a striking acknowledgment of the services which you have been kind enough to ascribe to me, indicates that in estimating them you have weighed the spirit io which they were conducted, and the difficulties by which they were surrounded. It .s true, gentlemen, that the obstacles I have bad to combat were sufficiently furmidaale. Their nature is such that a man of my princip'es must expect to see them arise in Turkey as certainly as in the other coon ' tries of the East ; they are—corruption, which undermines society to its foundations, and cupidity and in trigue, which obstruct the march of progress, and poison the atmosphere wherever they exist. A good deal was to be expected from the generous and benevolent disposition of the reigning loser. ign, and from the salutary chinos which have taken place in the admi. nistmtion of the country since the adoption of the new sys tem. A good deal was also to be expected from the counsels and policy of • minister who had wisely contributed to the introduction of a system, on the continuation and extension of which depend so entirely the renovation and subsequent security of this noble empire. A great deal of the expt cted good has, no doubt, been accomplished under these auspices; but more s much more, remains to be accomplished, end I must add with the most profound sorrow that indications of errors and weakness arc seen in more than one place, that the energy of the government is embarrassed by finan cial complications, and that even the great charter of Ottoman progress:is to a certain point discredited by negli gence in the execution, or rather the non-execution, of its provniscs. Ido not say this to place in doubt the intentions of the government, or to insinuate that ! despair of the final restoration of the empire to a more prosperous position. A state of transition is always more or has a state of weakness; and 1 entertain the hope that efficacious measures will be adopted before it be too late :o dissipate darkness, and cause to shine unclouded the rays of European civilisation. Viscount Stratford concluded by calling attention to the importance of establishing railway► and in troducing othtr improvements into Turkey; and by proposing a Waist to the prosperity of British com merce. _ . Fears were entertained in some provinces that ex tensive injury would be done to the crops by the large quantity of locusts. lu the province of the Dardanelles, Mr. W. Calvert, acting as English con sul, had rendered great services by the measures he had takes for the destruction of those insects; and Hassan Haider, the Pacha, had, in the name of the inhabitants, expressed their thanks. A letter from Beyrouth announces the formation of a company for establishing in that city a steam mill and steam-apianing manufactory. Accounts from Damascus state that military re inforcements had been sent to the Pacha to put down the revolt of the inhabitants of Adjilun, Ileu m, and Gebel ileum which was caused by their determination not to submit to the law of recruit ment ; but he had been obliged to retire, and to pro mise that the recruitment should be postponed for three months, until the crops should be got in. CONSTANTINOPLE:JuNn 15. The Ports has not yet ratified the quarantine con vention, but the conditions reserved arc not of much importance, and it is expected that the convention will be concluded without delay. Dr. Fauvel, sani tary physician of the French government at Con stantinople, who has taken an active part in these negotiations, has arrived in France by the boat which left Constantinople on the 13th. Puad Effendi was undergoing quarantine at Smyrna, and expected at Constantinople on the 19th. Loed Stratford de itedclifie, whose denunciation of Turkish corruption at the dinner given to him by the merchants, had produced great sensation, had obtained a private interview with the Sultan at the Sweet Waters, and remained long in conference with him. An English company is in negotiation with the Porte for the construction of a railway from Bel grade to Constantinople, and it would seem with a probability of success. English engineers have examined the ground, and found in the Balkan a passage which would only necessitate some works of art of little importance. The company will undertake to finish the line in five years, and as the railway from Vienna to Belgrade is already far advanced, Constantinople would then be only five or six days' journey from Vienna. The financial situa tion appears in a favourable position. A combina tion has been devised which would permit several banking houses of Europe to advance the bank of Constantinople, on good security, from 30 to 40 mil lions of francs. The news from Bagdad continues to represent the banks of the Tigre and Euphrates as a prey to the civil war between various Arab tribes. Two brothers of the tribe of Muntefick, Shiekh Mansour, and Sheikh Faris have been set at odds by Namik Pasha, the 'creakier of Asia, who has invested one of them with the chief tainship of the tribe. Vady Bey is gone with 4,000 horse to take command of the rebels, in defiance of the prohibition of the Porte. GREECE. The monk Christophoros is causing unheard-of trouble to the government by his incendiary ad dresses. He appears, disappears, and re-appears with astonishing rapidity in various parts of the kingdom; and, having raised the population of the Magna by his discourses, is now ranging . the Pelo. ponessus. Several military columns arc in pursuit of him, and the latent dispatches of their com manders express the expectation of his speedy capture. He is attended by thousands of fanatics, and when hard pressed takes refuge in some church, where he embraces the images, and calls vehemently for Divine succour. 'the people, excited by his prayers, have more than once fallen with sticks and stones upon the feeble force sent to apprehend him, and made officers and men fly for their lives. In explanation of this strange excitement, it should be stated that when Greece was made an indepen dent state the inhabitants considered that while they were one in doctrine with the rest of the Eastern church, it was impossible that they could continue under the spiritual authority of the Patriarch of Constantinople, a subject of their old master tho Sultan. A national synod was then established in Greece to superintend religious affairs, and this administrative independence has existed un til the present year, when the government of King THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD DIGGINGS. By the Admiral, from Port Philip, accounts hare been received to the 31st March, being nearly three weeks later than those last published. The number el diggers had greatly incremed at the mines, and some um aptness was telt as to the ability of the storekeepers to provide a sufficient supply of previsions during the rainy felll,oll, when the number would be muck greater. A meeting ..f store keepers was shout to be held for the pur l ins nt Using the prices of gouda tOr the winter, and the quantity of previ teens that should be bold at once to any one customer. Many of the neceuniries of lite had already [weenie seam, 1 and prices were gradually advancing. Flour was wile.... at Melbourne at 221. per too. One correspondent remark. that it was utterly impossible for the sterile, pa-rs to supply produce in quantities relrquate to the &mewl, and that they hof already commenced curtailing their sales in order to economise their stocks. . . The minas of Mount Alexander remained comparatively unworkable from the lung drought, but rain was now &lily expected, and a belief was general that the yield would thi n be enormous. Meanwhile the arrival. in blvlbourix w, re apparently at the rate of nearly 12,1100 ounces a week, and as the number of persons employed is stated at about, 10,000, it is evident there must bare Men au ample average ft _ niuueratiou for steady labour. After thu ex. itenunt from the tpl:llltilits obtained wheu water was ace. ssible, it is ;no bable that au ounce or an ounce and • half a week for each man wea regarded with indifference. It is said, however, that apart from the totals which reached town by the periodical escort, large amounts were retained by the miners in consequence of the price having Gillen to 585., at which they were unwilling to sell. There were frequent deaths from dysentery, and the invances of rubbery and outrage appear to have been very frequent. 'I he strongest reproaches were levelled at the government for their want of energy in heeitating to establieh an efficient podee force at any cost, the large inc. jenny of the people being wo.l disposed and ready to aid all rational effort+ for maintaining order. A meeting had been held at the mines fur the purpose of raising subscriptions for the erection of a church, at which the Bishop of 11,1- Worm. presided, and the amount collected promised to be wore then sulticieut. Prices of provisions both at Mel ' bourne nod Geelong were rapidly rising. A vessel from London, the Isabella Watson, of 514 ton., had been •vrecked on enteriug the harbour on the evening of the 21st March. Nine maroon who attempted to escape in the life boat were drowned from the mast of the: ship having fallen upon them, but the remainder of the passengers and crew, 60 in number, were lauded in safety, chiefly through the courage el some pilots on the shore. The neglect of the authorities in permitting an insufficiency of lights on that part of the coast had been strongly censured. A Victoria Gold Mining Association had been orablished fur assaying gold and casting it into bars. The govern ment escort of the 24th March had arrived with 13,408 ounces of gold from Mount Alexander, and 74 ounces teem Ballarat; 202 ounces train the latter place had been left at 0-elong. The price had declined to 585., bat had reco vered on the 31st March to 60s. per ounce, at which it was then quoted firm. The Shamrock had sailed for Sydney on the 24th March with 4,751 ounces ' and the Champion for Adelaide on the following day with 2 0 100 ounces; the Ben jamin licape for London on the 26th; the Nelson and Blundell were to sail in a few day. for London ; the Stebeubeath for London on the let April ' • and the Medway, I also for Loudou, on the 20th April. Servants of all kinds were very much wanted, and numerous advertisements ap. pear in the Melbourne papers for cooks, general servants, housemaids, nursemaids, groome, joiners, gardeners, wheel wrights, waiters, carpenters, sawyers, storekeepers, eosin auts, butchen, and shepherds. The Melbourne Aron, con tains no loss than fifty-seven advertisements of this kind, with offers of "liberal wages." By this opportunity we have also elates from Sydney to the 23rd of March. The governorgeneral bad started on a trip to the Areluen dig gings. The eccousets front the Turon, Ophir, Brentwood, end Menu were favourable. On the 4th of March 2,11305. of gold had been received by the government escort, and 1,212 us. by the mail, making a total of 3,355 ox. The crop of wheat had been good, and well got in, bat from the ie. creasing demand for dour, prices had advanced to 151. per ton, with every prospect of a further rise. Business was moderately acive. Complaints are made of the system pursued at present by the banks, who are charged with causing a great monetary pressure by their enormous advances on gold. The Sydney correspondent of the Mel bourne Argus observes:—" We do not believe 100,0001. of real property has been employed in the purchase of the 600,000/. or 700,0001. worth of gold shipped from this city. It has been bought on credit—a credit given by the banks no doubt at good interest, and with a good security; but we believe the operation has been a disastrous one to the colony, and may, perhaps, be a losing one to the banks themselves. The pressure on the money market is now en great that none but the most unquestionable paper is looked ' at by the banks." As regards the effect of the gold dis covery upon the value of real property, it is stated that land at Prahrsn had been sold at 311. per acre, whilst ei miler dots a few months before had fetched only 121. 10s. per acre. A shop and house in Bourke-street, 22 feet frontage by 75 depth, had been disposed of for 6201., sub ject to a mortgage of 5001. A station on the La Trobe River, Gipps Land, with 800 head of cattle, bad been sold at 2,0001. From Sydr.ey the dates are to the middle of March. At that place the price of gold was 61s. flel., and was expected to continue falling as the supplies from the mines were daily increasing. The waters were steadily subsiding, and at Ophir the yield was better than at any former period. A vein opened on a spot which had been carefully drained at the expense of two individuals was found to give an average of more than an ounce per foot. In seven days, from the day it was opened, 153 ounces had been taken out, the metal being found in pore lumps weighing from 17 ounces downwards. From the Turon the accounts were equally encouraging, but both here and at Ophir considerable quantities were kept back, owing to the low price offered by purchasers. It was thought that several shipments of gold would be made to eastern markets, with ' the view of getting a quick and satisfactory return, more especially as a sum forwarded to Manilla had realised 31. 19s. fiel. per ounce. The rate of exchange was 8 discount. Heavy shipments to Melbourne had drained the Sydney markets of articles of consumption, and prices were very ' high; but produce of other kinds was greatly affected by the pressure in the money market, and washed wools were selling at yd. per lb. lower than in January, notwithstand ing the better accounts that had been received from England. The dates from New Zealand were to the 2nd March. At most of the settlements there were strong complaints of the scale of government expenditure. The colonists were also getting up public meetings to petition parliament against the debt of the New Zealand Company being charged upon the land fund or the general revenue. The Van Diemen's Land advice:a reach to the 17th March. The gold deposits discovered in that island were still unremunerative, but the pieces obtained were increasing slightly in site, and there was still a hope that good localities would soon be fallen in with. A report prevailed of a fresh district having been found at the Bay of Fires. EMIGRATION OF .. P4D! 7 ER CHILDREN TO BERMUDA. Yesterday, at the meeting of the Board of Di rectors of the parish of Bt. Pancras ' Mr. Churchwarden Buzsrr in the chair, the clerk to the board reported that James Combley, aged Id, one of the batch of children who were sent by the parish to Bermuda in October, IMO, bad been sent to England by his master is see his friends. He had been rewarded with a sovereign for his good conduct. The boy looked remarkably well, and expressed himself perfectly satisfied with his position, and with the kind treatment he received from his master, Mr. Henry J. Tucker. The boy stated that he was taught by the dasghten of his master reading, writing, arithmetic, end singing. In answer to questions from various members of the board, the boy gave a favourable account of many of the children who had been sent out with him. Mr. STOCKTON felt that it war snort gratifying to hear the statement of the boy. It was a direct denial to the calumnies which had been so freely heaped upon the dirge ton. It would bosom that the directors were actuated by a wish to advance the interests of the children, and not, as was stated, that the parish only acted upon a wish to get rid of the children at may rate. (Hear.) Dr. ONIOOILT considered this as another proof of the advisability of adopting tome measure which would, in ac cordance with the principle of Lord Shaftesbury's bill, pro vide that the poor children should not be shut out from the advantages offered by emigration.

Her husband is a foreman to a tobacco 'manufactory situated on the river Paterson, the owner of which is • person named Boyle. The daughter has just written home to her father a letter dated in Vebruary last. She states that as goon as the gold discoveries ware mad., Mr. Boyle was obliged to raise the wages of all the men working on his establishment, and that he allows • kw at a time to go to the gold diggings to try their fortune, when they return, after a limited period, to give others • C111:12011. By these means he has been enabled to keep sulkiest men to carry oa hie business. The diggings are about thirty miles from where she evades. She speaks of a youth of her acquaintance about 17 years of age, who for some time by hard work got an ovum of gold a week ; that he alterwarik made use of • cradle, and washed out about three ounces of gold a week. A partv she kn. w had met with very bad luck, and they were about to leave the diggings. They were persuaded to give another trial, whoa they fell in with • spot that was exceedingly rich in gold, and they are now doing remark ably well. The writer of the letter in question has been in Australia about eight years. She states that the climate is much like England, and she Is desirous that her father and all her relations should come out and join her. Iler greatest grief is that, out of the numerous letters she knows must have been recently sent from England to her, she has received one. QUEEN ADELAIDE NAVAL FUND. Yesterday a grand fancy bazaar in aid of this fund (established for the relief t f the orphan daughters of officers of the royal navy and marines) was held at the Royal Hos pital, Greenwich, under the especial netronsge of her Ma jesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Cambridge, and many of the most distinguished members of the nubility. The event was evidently regarded in the town as one of unusual import sues, and the approaches to the hospital were gaily deco rated with Bags and other ornaments appropriate to an exhibition of this nature ; whilst the spacious quadrangle of the building was occupied by a very large concourse of people, we angst whom were many ladies of rank and dis tinction. The scene was one of considerable interest, and it seemed • matter of doubt whether the great attrac tion of the day was to he found in the promenade on the green sward or in the interior of the building, where the important objects of the day's pleasure were more espe cially promoted. One entire wing of the hospital wu de voted to the purposes of the bazaar, and although the space appeared somewhat limited, owing to the large influx of company, the effect was at once brilliant and picturesque. The stalls were presided over by the Merchioness of Has tings , the Viscountess Valenti., the La .y Caroline Legge, Lady Mary Legge, Lady Anne Legge, the Hon. Lady Capel, Lady Adam, Lady Beaufort, Lady Hart, and other ladies of title distinguished for their devotion to charitable objects.

It was calculated that there were between four and five Colt sand peisons present. Upon the show of hands, Mr. W. IL Beaumont and Mr. Ridley, the free traders, were nominated by an immense majority.

SCOVEWS FRIENDS. —...— A very numerous meeting of electors of the borough of Southwark was held yesterday evening at the Literary Institution, Southwark, to hear from Mr. Seovell a declaration of his liolitical opinions, and to pass resolu tions rel.tive to his candidature Tne chair was lateen by Mr. ELILIN4iTos, who wade the Waal claim fur a fair hear ir g, aft. r which Mr. G. 81:0VELL stated that as to his general to Wield principles, he was an advocate fur extension of the suffrage, but not fur universal suffrage, which would nut, in his opinion, give a fair representation of the people. 11 e con tended that they were not half represented in the House of Commons, and would cordially support Mr. Ilunie's mo tion. The present franchise required it 101. rating to the poor, and that he thought wan too limited. Mr. Hume pro posed that every householder and every lodger of 12 months' standing should have a vote; and that, in his opinion, was only a fair widening of the constitutimal bases. (Cheers.) But how lunch mire was reform wanted in the counties. There he was prepared roust heartily to sup port Mr. Locke King's motion. (flier, hear.) But, :titer the extension of the franchise, it could wily be 61.1Celh•fully protected from undue influence by the ballot. (Loud cheers.) It was precti-ed iu every club in London, and, therefore, why Nhould not the people have a right to try it ? (Continued cheering.) Having extended the suffrage, and secured it by the ballot, the next question was the dura tion of parliament; and, in his opinion, three yeery was long enough to entrust any twin with a seat in parliament. Ile objected to annual parliaments as keep ing the people in perpetual hut water, but three years would he thought meet every necessity. So much for the requirements of civil liberty, and the mew: of mutating re. trenehmentin government expend:ture and a suppression of all owlets offices, which with triennial parliaments would soon vanish before the voice of the people. On the gut scion of taxation he drew a marked distinction betweee. an income and a property tax. The latter had enabled the great Sir It. Peel so much to relieve our tariff, but us for the inqui sitorial income tax his best exertions should be devoted to procuring its careful revision. lie now came to the question of religious liberty, and, to begin, he hoped to see the Jews admitted into parliament. dicer, hear.) Of course he was against all future endowments for religious purposes. (A Voice: "Maynuoth.") He was coming to that, end even for the mike of representing them in parlia ment he could not conceal his opinions. lie certainly was not in favour of distutb:ng the present grant to Mnotiooth. (Loud cheers.) Ile was aware of the general and deep interest of the subject, and had therefore given it his moat careful comideratton. He would briefly recapitulate the history of the grant. Having gone through the history of the grant from its first establishment I y George 111 , he surd that, having been establahed by one of the most pro testant of our kings, it had since been annually brought be tore parliament whit annual irritation, until Sir It. Peel, for the purpose of putting an end to this animal discord, removed it from the annual eetimates. Ile would ask them' whether, having pledged the faith of the country to this grant, they were now to reclaim it, and thus give a fresh ground for complaint to our Roman catholic brethren. But this he would promise, that, should they return him to parliament, he would op pose any future endowment of any religious establishment, no matter what might be its doctrines. He was now ready to answer any questions the constituency might see fit to Iput to him. (Mr. Scovell resumed his seat amid the loudest cheers.).. . . . . . . Several quiations hn%ing been asked and satisfactorily "'lowered, . .

Last night a very numerous meeting of the elec tors of Finsbury was held at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bloomsbury, for the purpose of meetin2Mr.Duncombe, and promoting the return to parliament of that gentleman, at the approaching general election. Mr. Duacombe and Mr. Wakley were received with loud applaose. J. H. PARRY, Esq., having been elected to the chair, briefly addressed the meeting. Dr. Errs then moved a resolution to the effect "that the long and faithful services of Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, Esq., as representative of the borough, his uniform and con sistent support of the principles of civil and religious liberty, parliamentary reform, commercial freedom, economical ex penditure, and local self-government, eminently entitle him to the support of the elector.; and this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion in its power) to secure his re election, free of expense." Mr. IACLARIN seconded the resolution, which was car ried by acclamation. coxnxaskedwhywerethreeliberalcandidatesin the field, scrambling among themselves ? (Laughter.) They had in his opinion no chance, but yet the victory was not won until this election was over, and therefore he trusted that his friends would not Musk* him. (," No, ne," and cheers.) lie stated this because he considered that the manner in which the canvass had been con ducted was founded on false premises. (Hear, hear.) Requisitions were the order of the day. Alder. man Challis was groaning under the weight of • numerously signed requisition, and forced twin his home and family. (Hear.) Then there was the member for Bodmin. (Laughter.) He had also stated that a nu merously signed requisition had been presented to him ; but when applied to for • sight of it, Mr. Wyld had stated that it was upon so many sheets of paper that some of them had got lost. (" Hear," and laughter.) All that he (Mr. Duncombe) had to say to this was, that if Mr. Wyld could show so many signatures asking him to come on, he (Mr. Duneombe) would undertake to produce double the num her of signatures requesting him t , take himself off. (Ap plause.) These two candidates had made • point of soliet ing one vote, stating that Mr. Duncombe was safe ; but if the electors believed this, and gave one vote to eac of the men, be (Mr. Duncombe) would be left without a vote. (Hear.) He bad been informed, and he believed truly, that one or more tory candidates would come forward. He hoped his friends would are him safe before splitting their votes. Mr.Duncombe produced at copy of his address issued in 11131, and de fi ed anyone to say that he had not fulfilled what he therein premised. Mr. WALLET was then loudly called for, and stood for ward amidst great cheering. He thanked them for their warm greeting ; although his political connexion would cease, he hoped to serve them again. (Hear.) He came only at the invitation of the committee, to say what he Buncombe, of Mr. Duncobe, and to ask of his friends one political favour in his behalf. He could answer for all that had been said in favour of his colleague. He did not consider there was one man In the field worthy to be termed an opponent of Mr. Duncombe. On some future occasion he might have something to say respecting their so-called opponents ; at present, it would be bad taste to say one word about it. What he had to ask was, that those votes which were intended for him should be given to Mr. Buncombe. (Cheers.) The meeting, sOich was Reseed by the presence of many ladies, separated, — having previously passed a vote of thanks to the chairman. SOUTH LANCASHIRE—Sir Thomas Hesketh and the Hon. Capt. Egerton have now publicly declared their determination not to contest South Lancashire. The former gentleman is anxious " to see the repre sentation of this great and important county rescued from the dictation of the Anti-Corn-law League," but thinks that the time p rior to the general election is too short to admit of com ple te arrangements to secure success. Captain Egerton, in reply, says the undertaking of op posing the present members " does not appear to me, and those with whom I have consulted, to afford to such a can didate as myself that auurance of success, which would alone relieve me from the charge of presumption in em bracing it, and justify in prudence the sacrifices its conduct would involve." His personal disqualifications, he holds, disentitle him to appear as the representative of the censer votive cause in the county, from the stoical certain risk of defeat. He does not despair that the time and circum stances may arrive, which would justify him, "or some other member" of his family, in seeking the prise which he now considers beyond hie reach.

SIR,—A canon of Rochester having stated in Doe- WV-commons, on Wednesday last, that the late Primate of England, as interpreter of the statutes of that cathedral, hail sanctioned four minor canonries twin,: merged into one individual, permit me, through your columns, to submit to the public :in extract from the Ely statutes on the question of the visitation of the cathedral, which statutes are identi cal on this point with those of Rochester, in order to show how utterly at variance with the intentions of the founder, was the courre pursued by the interpreter. In cap. 15, we read thus—" Moreover, inasmuch as we wish these our statutes tor ever to endure, we will, that if any doubt, dispute, or difference shall here after arise between the dean and CallObS, or between the canons thenuclrea, concerning the true and real meaning of our statutes (all which we will have understood according to the obvious and grammatical sense), we do decree that such statute, or any clause of a statute, concerning which a dispute is arisen, shall be referred to the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose interpretation and declaration (provided it be not repugnant to our statutes) we command these who have doubted or disputed, without delay and opposition, to stand to and abide by ; nevertheless, we inhibit the visitor and the interpreter ut• our statutes, and all others, of what soever dignity or authority they shall be, to make any new statutes, or dispense with any one ; and we forbid the dean and canons of our church to receive any such statutes, under the penalty of perjury and perpetual disinisaion irons our church—we reserve, nevertheless, to us and our suc cessors, full power and authority of changing or altering these, and (it it shall seem St) of making new statutes." I apprehend, sir, that the interpreter did dispense with a mouse of a statute in allowing six minor canons to be re duced to three, and thereby violated the injunction laid on hint by the founder. No penal consequences attach to the interpreter for such default : fax otherwise is it with the dean mid canons. Dr. Griffith states that they "received" this official sanction to violate the statutes and acted on it, and I thereon appeal to Mr. Cowling whether they have not thereby incurred the penalty of "perpetual dismission" from the cathedral church of Rochester ? Had the Dean and Chapter resorted to the crown to pro cure as alteration in the statutes to whom such power is reserved, regularity and decorum would have been pre served. The act of 1810 was in reality an exercise of such authority, the enactments being based on recommendations of her Majesty's commissioners, which recommencations, by the-bye, 1/r. Griffith at that time considered subversive of the principles of the church. Dr. Addams extenuated the long abeyance of the celiac of hedesmen, on the plea that the nomination of such officers rested with the crown, not with the Dean and Chapter. Some of the stalls in Canterbury Cathedral are also in the patronage of the crown ; does Dr. Addams think the Dean and Chapter ever omit to notify to the government the avoidance of such ~talb, or that the latter arc tardy in filling them ? If not, the mutual indifference only exists when the interests of poor men arc concerned. Dointis is not yet cited as recipient of revenues of abeyant canonries. Dr. Addams ventured to produce no accounts, therefore the public can draw their own inferences as to how the funds got out of donuts. In order, however, to show Dr. Addams the best means of convincing the public mind, I subjoin aa abstract of the Wimborne accounts fur the year ending Dee. 21, 1831.
