Lily in that department, Hatfield-hall, wherein the! expense of education is adapted to moderate means. "hiring the period for which 1)r. VAN MILDERT was bishop. the income of his see averaged, according to , parliamentary returns, 24,3761.25. 3d. a year ; and in addition to that enormous revenue, he possessed as residences Aucklandeastle, one of the noblest mansions ar demesnes in England, as well as the ancient and fiery habitable castle of Durham; the latter, 110 W. OTer, he very much gave up to the university he had founded. It is enough for our present purpose to add, that 1)r. VAN MILDERT, after an incumbency of prolonged ill health and bodily infirmity, died on the 31st of February, 1438. For some time previously to his demise, the sub - feet of episcopal revenues, the greatness of some of the bishops' incomes, and the smallness of those of Others. had attracted serious attention; and a royal commission, in which were five prelates, had been awned to advise the crown on the subject. The com mission, as our readers know, made several reports In the years 1835 and 1836. And on them parlia ment proceeded to legislate in the session of Iti34;. The statute by which it did legislate, received the royal assent on the 13th of Aug ust , 11 , 436. After reciting the texts of th e Reports , to which it Was intended to give effect. the act by its first section Incorporated the commission by which the reports ]sad been made, and by the ninth section directed the commissioners to prepare schemes for carrying out the recommendations therein contained to be laid before the sovereign in council; by whose sanction In the form of an Order of Comma they were to take the full forte of law. Now one of thew recuunnen &lions was: That in order to provide for the augmentation of the in tense of the smaller bishopries such tired animal sums be paid to the commissioners out of the revenues of the larger sees ri speetively as shall upon due inquiry and consideration lye d, to. mined on, so as to lease an average annual income le • • • • the ltishop of Durham of 14,000 t. During all the time that this statute was under the consideration of the legislature, the see of Dur ham, void by Dr. VAN MILDE,RT'S death, on the 21st of February, 1a36, was kept vacant by the clown ; in order that the successor of that prelate aright be brought under the operation of the new Jaw, and be placed on the reduced allowance of 2,000/. a year so recommended to the crown, and so adopted by the legislature. And this delay in filling op the see was the more necessary, becalm other ensc—that is, without making the contemplated re duction of its income and the transfer of the surplus be yond s,INNU.a year to theEeelesiastical Commissioners, that newly constituted body would have been without funds schist-eon to have proceeded in the other duties parliament had assigned to it—a circumstance which was prominently stated by the Bishop of I.INCoLa, one of the commissioners, when examined sonic three years ago before a select committee of the Douse of Commons on the then composition of the Ecclesias tical Conunission. No sooner, however, had the 6 & 7 William IV. c. 77, rescued the sanction of par 'lenient, than the rwi f pl delire issued to the Dean and Chapter of Durham. 1/r. NIALTIIT, then Bishop of Chichester, a see at that time worth 3,7001. a year, was translated to the bishopric of Durham, and was installed a bishop on the 20th of July, 1x36; not ho-' fore the royal assent was given to the statute, but after, the principle had been adopted by the legislature. Immediately after the translation, and before the date of the royal assent, negotiations commenced between 1/r. MstsrisY and the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners as to the scheme the latter would, under the forthcoming statute, submit to the eleess in coun cil; the bishop contending that there was reason to apprehend that the arrange of 21,376/. for the seven previous years, whilst Dr. V,ts MILDERT was bishop, was a higher amount than the next seven would produce, ening to the extraordinary and exceptional receipts of 1831, when n new coal field was opened up: and that an estimate could not he fairly made until arrangements had been definitively concluded ith Mr. Brat:nos r as to the composition in lieu of t had ore that gentleman would consent to pity the ace. These were not unreasonable objections, and the commissioners, yielding to them, proposed (13th August, 11436) " a provisional order for a money payment of 10,045)1. per annum until the amount and mode of contribution could be decided." Doubt, however, arose as to there being authority in the net for a provisional order ; and on the law officers of the crown being consulted, they reported that the commissioners could not safely adopt that course ; adding, however, this remarkable reason : Thr di-Cod object of the legislature appears to us to have been, that the rum payable by the Bishop of Dur ham should he fixed, in the first instance, at an amount calculated in the j e u; f l/rment of the commissioners to leave A.,,, o ryes r, 'wow o 6,00411. a year, and that this income should remain fir during his incumbency. When this opinion was received on the 26th Sep tember, 1836, the recess was commencing ; so all that the commissioners then did was solemnly and delibe rately to resolve that at the very first meeting after the recess the whole question of the revenues of Durham be entered upon, and the annual sum to be contributed by the bishop be fixed, " be as to leave to the see the average annual income of 14,000/." The commissioners re-assembled ou the 16th No vember. On that day a committee fixed the gross average at 23,626/. 12s. 6d., the net average at 22,1631. 4s. sale ; and recommended that the contri bution should be fixed at 14,0001. a year. On the 21th November that sum was reduced by a general board to 13,2001. a year ; whereof 11,2110 e were to be paid by the Bishop of Deansn, and 2,000/. a year were to be represented by the York shire estates of the see transferred to the Bishop of Biros. Dr. Nlseviiv and his advisers made a feeble opposition to the scheme ; but it was finally adopted in December, 1430; and afterwards sanctioned by order of council. Now the object of the legislature, as stated by the law officers of the crown in September, 1436, was to gist- Dr. M.elsrtiv, as Bishop of lhirham, a net in come of 8,0001. a year std for that purpose and with that intention his contribution was fixed at 11,0001. a year. Let us see how the objets of the legit'. 'sture andlhe intentions of the commissioners have been fulfilled. This contribution of 11.1100'. a year was. we have seen, formed on the estimate that the average income of the next seven yearn would be 23,626!. a year its desire of the Yorkshire estates, worth 2,00 01 . a year Mlielvaa it turned out by the next septennial return that the actual receipts, exclusive of these estates, reached 23,1166/. • leaving the bishop a gross average income of 13,000 i., instead of a net one of 8,000/. a year. Whereupon . the Ecclesiastical Commissioners raised the charge, in case the see became vacant in the ensuing septennial Iseriod, to 13,200/., " a roe pective charge, Dr. MALTI3T remarked, "to which " I do not think that I ought to object." The contingency of a vacancy not having occurred, Dr. NIALTRU, of course, continued for the seven years ending 31st December. 1/450, to make, as his account shows, payment to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of the fixed suns of 11,2001. u yeas During that period, however, the gross receipts of the see reached, according to his own tigurta, a still higher average than they did during the previous seven years. For in the seven years-1844-50—the gross receipts of the see of Durham were no less than 207,6211., which sum produces an average of 20,6601. • so that in those years Dr. MALTBY's gross income has been 18,460/., instead of the net sum of 8,0001. a year, which the law officers of the crown stated in Sep tember. 1836, it was "Me distinct object qf the hats lettere," in passing the 6 and 7 William IV., c. 77, he should have. Now, what we claim to show from this state of facts is simply that the " distinct object" of the legislature has beau evaded by the Bishop of DURHAM and the Ecclesiastical Conuniseioners ; evaded in substance by his receiving a much larger income than was distinctly intended; evaded in spirit, by his not refunding to the Ecclesiastical Commission the annual difference be tween the intended 8,000!. a year and the sums he has actually received. And in this evasion of a "distinct intention of the legislature" by the commissioners, 'a bad example is, we submit, set all the QUEEN . a subjects, by the rulers of the church, of that heartfelt obedience to the law which is the duty of all citizens as Christians. We know the manner in which this is met. Ilse Bishop of DURHAM, Lord Jona RUSSELL is never tired of telling the House of Commons, is a generoas nun ; he bestows large sums in charity, he gives liberally to the church. Be it so; we have no wish to doubt it. But he ought, we answer, to be just before he is generous; and juat in the highest Dense of • the word he cannot be whilst he takes from the see THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1851. of Durham thousands a year, which it was the " die- tinet intention of the legislature" he should not take. There is a higher morality in the world than that of generosity; a sterner duty than that of liberality. And both are, we must think, disregarded when a bishop rides through a statute of the realm, as if he were a railway speculator or an Old Bailey ad vocate. arrived in Paris : M.

FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The intelligence contained in my postscript of yes terday, that the list of the clubs for the Committee of Permanence had passed without exception, is confirmed by the newspapers of this morning. The following is a corrected list in the order of tho number of votes obtained. The number of voters was 607 :—MM. I)idier, republican, 333 ; Changer nicr, fusionist, 438 ; I)ufougerais, legitimist, 437; Sauvaire-Barthelemy, legitimist, 103; do 31ontigny, legitimist, 403; Ikrreer, legitimist, 402 ; Vitet, fusionist, 395; Poujouiat;legitimist, 386; de Melun (du Nord), legitimist, 339 ; l'assy, tiers-plea, 333 ; Druet-Desvaux, tiers-para, 352 ; d'olli vier, legitimist, 316 ; Gouin, ministerial, 841; Bernardi. legitimist, 338; De Montebello, fusionist, 338; Boucher, tiers-pira, 336; De La Tourette, fusionist, 333; Admiral (keine, Elyscan, 329; Rut hiere, Orleanist, 327 ; El}-seen, :126; itoinvitliers, Elyscan, 324; De Kermarec, legitimist, 320; De Bar, Elyscan, 319; Grouchy, 319; 1)e Mortemart, fusionist, 313. The members who obtained the greatest number of votes after the proceeding wereGeneralCavaignac, 267; I)ufuure, 270; Grevy, 269; Vesin, 234; Jules do lAsteyrie, 212 ; do Remusat, 238 ; Bixio, 237 ; Charras, 231; Labrousse, 234; de Mornay, 229; De lessert, 203 ; le Gili:•ral de Saint-Priest, 80; le Gilie ral do Lamoricii•re, 73 ; Bonne, 55. The list of the members of the committee of per manence given by the Journal elrB De &its, is ineor- I met. General Cavaignac is not among the candidates elected, as stated by that journal. On the other hand M. de Montemart, who is placed among the first of the non-elect upon the DeSati list, is one of the last elected. The only deviation from the list of the two clubs is the election of M. do 11Ielun instead of de Touchy. To-day the Assembly adopted, by .7)S•lvotes against 7, a credit in favour of the establishment of tele- graphic lines. Al. Mayne, Minister of Public Works, presented a bill opening an extraordinary credit of 11 millions for the Avignon Railway, of which 9 millions is as signed to the section lietween Chalons and Lyons, and 2to that between Avignon and Valence. He proposes that the two railways should be comprised in the same debate. M. Dufaure, in the name of the committee, insisted energetically in favour of urgency being pronounced to-day, and the debate being fixed for Monday. Tho minister maintained that urgency could not be voted before the committee of the budget had made known its opinion on the system of the committee, which involved a loan of dl) millions, and established a de . . mode of proceeding under eolov- of it 4 being provisional. M. Dufaure insisted, with great vehemence, that the system of the committee was the only one pos sible, in order to go on vigorously during the proro gation and during the winter with the works. I e maintained that the 11 millions demanded by the minister would be insufficient, and that the absence of companies, which could offer teethe:lent guarantees led necessarily to the adoption of the committee's system. The Assembly decided that the committee of the budget should give its opinion, and adjourned the question of urgency until Monday. The house then proceeded to vote a credit for the repair of ca thedrals. It was recently stated that the French squadron had left the port of Cadiz for Ajaccio. The latest' intelligence, is, that a steamer has been despatched from Toulon to meet the squadron, with orders that the latter should forthwith proceed to the Isles of HyYres. The Totdonnate attributes this movement to the presence of Admiral Parker's fleet off Tunis, where its unexpected arrival is said to produce a great sensation. 1 he Marquis and Marchioness of Nurmanby have, on the occasion of the visit of the royal commis sioners of the Great Exhibition, and othes distin guished persons from London, issued cards of invita tion to a reception at the hotel of the British em bassy on Tuesday next. The committee on the sale of tobacco has reversed its previous decision of adjudicating the licenses of bale, and recommends the maintenance of the present system. M. Waissc has won the day in the department of the Nord, basin" polled 41;192 votes, while his adversary, M. IMarogYre, the legitimist candidate, has only obtained 11,436. The number of votes necessary to validate the election is 36,250. There remains to be examined the ballots of 17 sections. The conservative candidate for the Lot is M. Belted. It seems doubtful if he will obtain the suf ficient number of votes for his election. Four of the prisoner accused of complicity in the Lyons plot have been acquitted, and were met at Villeneuve by -1,000 people, who sang the Mar seillaise in triumph. 31. 1 iutrou-Bon der, the sub-prefect of Boredom. has laid before the public a statement of the eau which led to his dismissal. It will be reruemberet that the disclosures made by M. Dutrou-hornier to the committee charged to examine the revision peti tions, formed the principal evidence upon which the recent vote of censure against ministers was founded. After the sub-prefect's refusal to act upon the letter of M. Desaubiers, the prefect of the Basses-Alpes, ordering him to use his influence in procuring signa tures to the revision petitions. further differences arose between them. 'the sub-prefect then wrote to M. L. Faucher, to say that the difference between himself and his superior was of such a serious nuturn that they could no longer act together with ad vantage to the public service. He claimed I to have his conduct either publicly blamed,' or publicly approved by the minister, and that either himself or the prefect should be dismissed. In an swer to this letter, the sub-prefect was ordered to come to Paris, where he had two interviews with the minister. M. Leon Faucher, said that he blamed the prefect, who had gone " too far," but that, as it was impossible for M. Dutrou-Bornier to remain any longer under him, he (M. Faucher) would appoint him to a sub-prefecture in another department. The sub-prefect declined this, expressing his readiness to menace his place, Subsequently M. Fortoul, a representative of the Basses-.pipes, and a warm par tisan of the Elyste. sought an interview with M. Dutrou-Bernier. M. Fortoul said that the law of the 31st of May did not emanate from the President of the Berilffic. That he had allowed it to pass, but that he had never supposed it to be applicable to his election. That if the President were to resign and appeal to the people it would be to absolute universal suffrage that he mould appeal, and that after his re-election nobody would dare to talk about the constitution. M. Bornier affirms that he expressly mentioned to M. L. Faucher at the second interview with him, that nil the correspondence between hi= and the prefect had been laid before the committee on petitions, and that, nevertheless, M. L. Faucher ordered him to return to his duties. Great, there fore, was his surprise at his receiving afterwards from M. Faucher a letter, demanding a categorical answer to the question, whether he had given up to a third person letters received by him in his charm ter as a public functionary. M. Dutrou-Bornier, in reply, reminds the minister that he well knew he bad done so, and that ho had refused another sub prefecture on purpose to reserve to himself the most perfect freedom of action with respect to the docu-I ments in his hands. The dismissal of M. Dutrou- ! Bonder is, however, the only practical result of the vote of censure, which owed its origin to his com plaints of the over-zealous conduct of the prefect of the Basses-Alpes. The only judgment pronounced by the court to day in the cause of Lemulier v. earlier, Foreade, and Virmaitre is a dilatory one. The court is of opinion that M. Curlier is not amenable to the action with out the permission of the council of state, and that the case of the other defendants is so connected with his that no separate judgment can be pronounced upon it. The Ceres, 1,600 tons, the largest vessel hitherto built in France, has just been launched at Bordeaux. Three distinguished Hungarian exiles have lately SPAIN. MADRID, irLY 30.

ITALY. ROMAN STATES. Letters of the 22nd from Rome announce a proxi mate change in the mini try. M. Galli is to be appointed definitively Minister of Finance. The Minister of Justice, Giansanti, is become director of the administration of the public debt, in the place of M. Neri, who passes to the financial department. M. Ruffino, director of police, is to be Minister of Justice. ROME, JVLY 24. The necessity of providing the sinews of war, a necessity as imperiously felt by governments as by private individuals, has driven his Holiness to the ever unpopular resource of imposing extraordinary taxes upon his subjects, and, although the rumour of such a measure has been current for some time, its realisation will be not the less productive of pub lic discontent. The official edict on the subject, pub lished last night, sets forth the motives and determi nation of the government. (This edict appeared in yesterday's E.rpress.) These financial emergencies of the government unfortunately happen just at a period when the tax payers are the least able to cash up, owing to the distress which the political persecu tions of the authorities have occasioned amongst the middle classes. The population of the capi tal is diminished, and poverty increased in the provinces, by the great number of persons, not actually born in Rome, who have been driven out of the city without regard to age, position in society, or long residence. Nor cats these arbitrary expulsions be considered as legal even under an arbitrary government, since any one is entitled to the citizen ship of Rome after a residence of five years in the capital if a native of the Roman states, and ten years if a foreigner; whereas, many of the unfortunate victims of these new police regulations have been domiciled in Rome since their infancy. The affair of the domiciliary visit and disarming of the British vice-consul, at Porto &Anzio, has been satisfactorily settled at last, as far as concerns the part which the French soldiers took in the expedi tion, since the guns seized in the vice-consul's resi- , dente have just been restored to him. It would therefore appear that the English and French authorities in Rome are upon terms of harmony with each other, as both M. do Rayneval and General Gemeau paid immediate attention to Mr. Freeborn's representation of• the case; whereas no kind of re paration has been hitherto offered by the Papal authorities for the misconduct of their vice-governor at Porto d'Anzio. GERM ANY. BERLIN, JOLT 30. The strides of the Frankfort Diet, with its seven .eague boots on, backwards, are, as you have already WM, of porn talons length and rapidity. To-slay I base to men tion another stride in that direction in contemplat:on by the same assembly, which surpasses all it has yet taken.. The Zeitiing for North Germany gives a brief abstract of , • proposition made jointly by Austria and Prussia to the Diet for systematically remodelling the constitwisms of all the German states, so as to bring them into harmony, it is said, with the confederation. The proposition runs thus: The n peatedly so-called fundamental rights of the Ger- , man people proclaimed in the project of a constitution for the Germanic empire under the dates of the 27th December, 1818, and of the 28th March, 1819, can neither be regarded' as valid as a law of the empire, nor be considered as bind ing on the separate states as a part of the imperial law. fhesc rights, therefore, are hereby &eland to be abolisheal in all the confederate states. Those German states where, in particular, laws have been passed on the basis of these so-called fundkunental rights, are commanded to set aside these laws whenever they are in contradiction with the laws of the Confedera tion, or with the objects aimed at by the federal legislation. The paper from which the *those is taken also gives im portant information with respect to the view the govern ment of Hanover adopts touching this remodelling of the Gorman constitution. M. &bele declared on this subject at Dresden When three is question of changes in a constitution, or in laws recognised as necessary by the fundamental laws of the Duna, the right of the Bund to interfere cannot be con ditional on the appeal of the government in question. I move therefore : "'That in the event of such changes meet ing with obstacles which cannot be removed in a constitu tional way, the confederate Diet should take coarisance of the fact, and should, in its competency, devise means by which such changes should be brought about." This motion made by M. Schele,l was seconded, accord ing to the ?kitting for North Germany, by Count Alvens. When, in the second committee at Dresden and is now to be brought immediately before the Frankfort Diet. The Prussian police have within the last few days sup pressed altogether the 'Freres Zeitung, in a manner which shows that, without resorting to a special proclamation or edict, like Austria or Mecklenburgh-Schwenn, establishing, es cathedra, a new law of the press, the Prussian govern ment arc determined to act a. vigorously and arbitrarily against the press as can be desired at Frankfort. As the article for which the Treves paper has been suppressed, though printed, was seized before publication, no one can know what the offence committed was ; hut the onus of the charge against the government in this matter is that whereas by the press law of the 12th May of the present year, no paper can be permanently suppressed till sentence has been passed upon any offence it may have committed by a law tribunal, the government have nevertheless sup. pressed the . journal in question summarily, without bringing against it any specific accusation, and with out any process of law whatever. If anything can be called, then, illegal and violent, this act must be so culled. The reasoning by which the govern ment, too, justifies this arbitrary proceeding, only aggra vates its wilful despotism and injustice. It is not denied that, by the law of the 12th of May, a journal cannot be suppressed till judgment to that effect has been pronounced' by a law tribunal ' • but the argument used is, that this law of the 12th May has not abolished another law called the Geirethe urdnung" (industry ordinance), by which it is left within the competency of the government to revoke, at pleasure, any license it may have granted. And what makes this hollow and dishonest pretext for tyranny still more patently hollow and dishonest than it otherwise would appear, is that it is confessed that the 48th Article of this "Gewerbe naming," which makes the granting of licenses dependent merely on the will of the government, is abolished whilst it is maintained that the 71st Article of the same law, which makes the revocation of licenses at the pleasure of the go vernment lawful, is not abolished. Thus, to sum up this iniquity, the pros:sion of an old law is made to invalidate the provision of a new law; and that the old law has been abolished is virtually acknowledged, by the acknowledgment that one of its article., the counter part of another, appealed to as valid, is abrogated to all in tents and purposes. If the government of Prussia can thus withdraw sum marily, at the bare will of a ministry, the licenses from papers, it is indeed quite unnecce.sary to publish edicts against the press like those lately published by Austria and Mecklenburg. GREECE. Our Path c ndent writes: I have received from a private source an important piece of intelligence from Greece. The Grand Chamberlain, General Grivas, who was supposed to occupy at the court of Athens a similar position to that which was held by General Serrano at the court of Madrid, has been dismissed from office. It is well known that King Otho is a mere cypher, and that affairs of importance were settled by the counsels of the Queen, who is of an ambitious and domineering temper. General Grivas, being' I all-powerful with the Queen, to whom his office gave him access at pleasure, thus became virtually dicta tor ; and no ministers who refused to be his creatures could hope to remain long in office. To struggle with this extra-constitutional influence of Grivas was one of the hardest tasks of Lord Palmerston and Mr. Wyse in the recent dispute with Greece; and many were the attempts made, in vain, to oust the powerful grand chamberlain. By what means tb;s result has been now obtained is, as yet, a mystery, as the news has been received by telegraph, and is dated on the 22nd, from Athens. It is added that General Grivas has been appointed to command the troops on the Turkish frontier. (Prom beet Nlottea Gazette.) COMMISSION SIGNED ItV TILE LOUD LTF.UTENANT OF SeFFOLIL—Sir It. J.

A public soirtx was held last night at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street, to celebrate the anniver sary of West Indian negro emancipation and welcome Mr. George Thompson en his return from America. The large hall was well filled by a most enthusiastic assemblage of the friends of the anti-slavery cause—ladies us well as gentle men. The chair was occupied by Mr. WILLIAM Wrtts Bnowx, a fugitive slave, and on the platform were: Mr George Thompson, M.P.; Sir F. Knowles, Bart.; the Rev. J. Bunts, ; J. Stewart, MA., and E. 11Iat thews ; Messrs. E. Foster, J. Livt.ov f Preston), and Andrew l'aton (of Glasgow), Mrs. Maria Weston Chap man (of Boston ' United States), Miss Weston, &c. After tea had been discussed, The ell AIRMAN delivered a short and interesting address , to the meeting. Ile glanced at the difficulties which existed iii the spread of the anti-slavery cause in America, stated that the American churches were virtually the chief sup- , porters of the odious system of slavery, and on the , friends of freedom in this country to exert themselves in promotion of the cause of abolition in the United States. Ile expressed his gratitude to Mr. G. Thompson for his noble endeavours on behalf of enslaved humanity. He hail had ample opportunities of judging of his real in the good work, and knew that he had not only protected the fugi tive slaves from falling back into the hands of their task masters, but had afforded them with a ready hand the most substantial assistance. In conclusion, he introduced to the meeting the Rev. E. Matthews, who had suffixed not little in tho cause of emancipation. The Rev. E. mArrii EWS gave a most distressing pic ture of the degraded condition of the slaves in the United Stases, and related a few of his experiences in his endea vours, as a missionary, to spread hiformatioa upon abolition principles. Ile had fallen at one time into the hands of a mob of white people in the state of Kentucky. They had ordered hint to leave the place within Id minate , , and while he was endeavouring to escape had 'Rol at him without effect five or six times. A portion of the same mob had subsequently overtaken hint, and threatened either to shoot, drown, whip, tar and feather, or hang hint, and had actually thrown him into a pond 10 times. On each occa sion he had to swim out to save his life, and nu sooner had he reached the bank than ho was thrown back into the water. (Shame.) Lefore he d got rid of the parties he hail been obliged to promise that he would leave the state of Kentucky immediately, and net er return to it. Ile Con • eluded by urging the importance of the English churches bringing their influence to bear on the churches of America, in order to hasten the overthrow of the inhuman traffic. (Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON, who was received with I deafening shouts of app lause , said he felt proud of the pod . tion in which he st ood that night. There would be a ' good moral lesson taught by that meeting. Such a meeting as that had yet to be held over the wide continent of America. It would startle the whole of America, from the banks of St. Louis to the banks of the Sacramento, and from the Atlantic to the i Pacitie. But here, in the metropolis of England, midway oetwemt the Mansion-house and the Dank of England—in • the Hall of Commerce—(cheers)—in the City of London— ' was held a free meeting, and presiding over that free meet ing was a black man—(loud applause)—the insulted, the !scorned, the hated, the hunted, of perfidious and guilty America. (Cheering.) There (pointing to one of the fugitive slaves) sat a proof, and on the other side of him additional proofs (alluding to other fugitive slaves and to two daughters of the chairman, who sat on the platfonn)—that the republic of America, as far as the whites were concerned, was but one great criminal conspiracy for the enslavement of an entire cation—a nation insulted within a nation, and by men who dared to take the name of Franklin and Adams, not anticipating the day when they worfel come in view of them in the world beyond the grave—when the • shades of these men would frown upon them, and we them , hurled to that depth below the deepeg, where the perfidi ous republican sinners would find their reward. (Loud I and continued cheering.) America was sin impious nation —an atheistical nation. The hun. gentleman then made a few further remarks upon the general question of slavery, and urged the organisation of the frivoils of the negro in London, in order to forward the extinction of slavery in the United States. While they demanded political (ree -1 duns for their brethren at home, the would have personal freedom fur their brethren abroad. (Loud cheering.) i The meeting was afterwards ad reseed by Mr. JAMPaI Gouuu, Mr. SI'ENITIL T. HALL Mr. 1:011EKT SMITH, and others, and an appeal on behalf of the fugitive slaves was unanimously adopted. Mr. G. 'Chomps= introduced to the meeting two interesting necro girls ' daughters of the chairman, who had come across with him from America. They were received with loud applauw, and seemed evidently affected by the warm greeting they received. Votes of thanks having been passed to Mr. W. L. Garri son and his compeers in America, to Mr. G. Thompson and to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE AT ALEXANDIILL—In a memoir in the Builder of to-day, on Ecyptian obelisks, with proposals in detail for bringing to Enrland that called Cleopatra's Needle, Mr. Nathaniel Gould, the writer, says —.l feel persuaded that the removal and transport of this large mass to London is both practicable and comparatively easy, and to be accomplished within one-fourth of the time expended on the same operation by the French, which was three years and a half from the sailing of the vessel to the erection of the column in Faris, and about tour years and a half from the commencement of building the La‘quor ; and I am prepared with a plan fur its execution, and to enter into contract, either on my own account or conjointly, for performing the same within nearly one-fourth of the time, and at nearly one-fourth of the actual cost of the removal of that of Luxor by the French, which could not hare been less than from 3i,b00/. to 40,000/." In a note the editor remarks, that " the writer urges, with justice, that the feeling manifested with respect to the Great Exhibition shows that the public would now appreciate the erection in London of the ancient obelisk belunzin_; to them, and that the pecuniary SUCre , ll of the Exhibition otters the means of indulging the public taste, without calling un the Chancellor of the Exchequer." HURRICANE IN FRANCE. lite Journal de la Nierre says : " We were far from having been aware of the full extent of the disasters caused by the late hurricane when we spoke of it two days back. the Prefect, who at once visited the communes which were devastated, is de scribed as having been much shocked at what he saw, and he immediately issued a proclamation calling on the public to get up a subscription in aid of thou, who have been left destitute. He himself, the bishop, the receiver-general, and the engineer-in -chief, subscribed 200 f. each. Among the scenes described to us are those which took place at Asuan. A number of the inhabitants were there in the fields getting in the harvest, when in an instant a Mal of black clouds vil lected over them, and, almost before they could run for shel ter, they found themselves enveloped in a sort of whirlwind of large hail, which prevented their seeing, and bruised their bodies most severely. The wind then rose to a perfect hurricane, and several persons were flung by it to the ground with violence. Every one endeavoured to find shelter under a range of lofty Chesnut trees which grew near, but the impetuosity of the wind became such that nothing could resist it, and the largest tree, were torn up by the roots. Au elderly man, who had seated himself in the hollow of a gigantic tree, was suddenly dashed to the ground under the immense trunk, and killed by its weight, his wife and children standing near under another tree and unable to assist him. Nut far off another tree was turn up by the roots, and thrown down on a woman who was stand ing under it with her child in her arms. By good foreune she fell in a hollow of the ground, and so was saved. It however took upwards of an hour's work to extricate her. The child did seat receive even a scratch. We have been informed that the church of Montenoison has been com pletely destroyed, and that two children were killed in that commune by the whirlwind, Just as we arc going to press wellearn that the Minister of Commerce has sent, as a first assistance, a sum of 6,000 fr., and the Minister of the Interior 1,000 fr."

Some descriptions of railway stocks hare again been largely sold to-day, imparting a general feeling of attnem to the market, so that prices are now in most instances rather below the final quotations of yester day. In Lancashire and Yorkshires and llialands, especially the latter, there has been a great amount of movement, and considerable fluctuation has oc eurreiL The announcement that the London and South Western directors have decided upon reeom mending a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum, has not improved the value of these shares, some holders professing to look for a higher rate. It is probable that this market may experience a good deal of fluctuation, as prior to tho meetings various rumours relative to the dividends, &c., arc put into circulation. last Anglians and Caledonians are better to-day. The following are this day's sales: • oaniNAltT SHAKES. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTILALIA. The second and final report of the select committee of the House Commons has just been presented, from which we give the following extracts: " Your committee having investigated the urgent claims of the colonies of Australia to a participation iu the advan trrws of steam communication, which have been so benefi cially extended to most other British settlements, and having laid before the house a spe ial report upon the sub ject, have since carefully considered the improvements of which the steam communie aim with India is suseeptilde. "The them• heads under which this subject may be most clearly considered, seemed to be the following: "1. The arrangement tinder which the service is at pre sent conducted. . ..... _ .....

The report then gives an outline of the prcsent arrange ment,, and the cost at which it is carried on, from which it appears "that the sum paid from the revenues of England for the mail service performed by the East India Cumpany between Suez and Bombay, amounts to 40,0001. annually. There is also the co•t of communication between Alexandria and the Post-office in London, the amount of which your committee have out the means of estimatinz. It is right to add that the expense of the transit of all the mails from Suez to Alexandria is borne exclusively by this Lad India Company. .• The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company receive for the mail service between England and Alexandria, 23,000/. ; for that between Suez and Calcutta, 115,0001. ; and fur that between Ceylon and Hong-Kong, 45,0001. ; and of the amount paid for the two latter services, the East ludia Company contribute seven. sixteenths, viz., 70,000/. " the improvements required in future arrangements, and the best mode of securing the advantage to the public. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. WEEKLY SUMMARY OF TILE PRODUCE MARKETS. MINCING-LANE, SVITILDAY MORNINO. " Your committee is of opinion that in all future tenders a considerably greater speed should be . insisted upon than that required by the present contract. " In regard to the extension of the main lino to any other points than those with which communication at pr ent exists, it does not appear to your cinitinittee that, with the exception of a line front Hong Kong to Shanghai, any further extension is required to which u government would be justified in contributing, in the shape of a separate con ' tract for postal service intermedite lines, such as those lately opened Itetweim Bombay and Point de Halle, Mid Calcutta and Hong Kong, by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, unless facilitating any general arrange ments, should be left to private enterprtse fur thew development. " The evidence before your committee shows strongly that a full communication every fortnight is required be tween England and the different presidencies in India, and that such communication, wi th a moderate assistance for postal service, would be remunerative. Similar evidence has been given with regard le China, but nut to the same extent." . After commenting upon the evidence given, the report states that—" Upon a lull consideration of the question, your committee recommend Mat a communication twice iu the month between Enghuid and the different prt...sideucies in India should be established, and that such communica tion should be Ilk paruted into two distinct service., and put out to separate tender." The committee, iu closing tFcir report, state their convic tion, " that any arrangement which might tend to promote an exclusive traffic on the Indian lines in the heeds of one company, is open to serious objection; and in the recom mendations which they have suggested for the considera tion of the government, they wish to lay down the prin ciple, that the only security to the public for the fu'l ad vantage of these communications must consist in open and fair competition. " On the government must rest the responsibility of car rying out the principle with honesty and fairness to the public, and it can only be effected by ample notice and full particulars of the terms and col.ditions required btiug given, so as to enable all parties to enter the field who may be desirous of tendering fur the service." LATEST FOREIGN EXCHANGES. There is very little alteration to not iee in the prices of colonial produce, some desrriptions however have been in better demand. The sales of Sugar have gone ott heavily, and prices have been rather in favour of the buyers. For Coffee then• has been guest inquiry ; Costa Rica has sold • with much spirit at full rates for shipping sorts, while fur I the tine qualities mixed fur Lome trade purposes, extreme prices have been paid ; native Ceylon has been sold at 375. lid. to l'is. per cwt. Saltpetre has also experienced some inquiry, and rather le•tter rates have been obtained. The quarterly Cinnamon sales heist en Monday, went utf very irregularly ; upon some ►out a decline of Id. to hi. per lb. was submitted to, while generally the reduction is compared with the rates ruling in April, was front 3sl. to Ca per lb. The Tea market is without material alteration. WOOL MARKET.-TIIIB DAY. The colonial Wool sales continue well attended, and the prices are very firm. There is rather an improvement in some sorts since the commeneement of the sales, and it is expected that prices generally will improve before they chin•. The English Wool trade is very quiet and prices aro barely sustained. The imports, of the week have been small, comprising only 638 bales from Odessa, •51 from Callao, I(9 from Mogadure, 29 front Dunkirk, 85 from Hamburg, and 18 bags from Oporto.
