There is no difficulty in finding fit persons. Seri of them as are clergymen will represent the ecclesiastical body in education much better than parochial deacon schoolmasters. MR. TORRENS has tat published a pamphlet " On th e Operation of the auk Charter Act," intended to give s t re nuous support to that measure. We cannot, wever, but regard it as one of tho strongest argu ments in favour of the Birmingham school of paper currency that we have read. From the tenets of that school we need not repeat our dissent, our object being merely to show bow the development of the ideas of the currency writers does bring them insen sibly and involuntarily round to meet their opposite extreme. It has hitherto been generally supposed, that the amount of currency in any country, of coin, and of notes representing coin, was proportioned to the wants of the population, and varying with the activity, 'value, and extent of their Internal dealings. The necessities of foreign trade, of now and then paying in specie, and receiving spi cie in return for exports, were of coarse taken into account. But no writer, until Mr. TORRENS took up the pen, ever set down the internal K ants and use of a currency at nil, and referred its every moNement, expansion, contraction, value, and use, to the operations of international or foreign trade. In the same manner, a sufficient amount of currency having been procured for national circulation, it was generally supposed that the scale of prices depended neon those known and various elements which con stitute price. But Mr. TORRENS now comes and tells us that price is altogether a thing dependent upon the currency, upon its contraction or expansion. That foreign trade and interchange altogether regulates this contraction and expansion, and that In a eitintry in which the currency consitm of coin and of bank-notes con.ertible on demand, the whole aggregate sum of the several media of exchange -coin, note', deposits, Cheques, and bills of exchange—which it is possible perma nently to maintain, eau neither rise above nor fall below the amount which may be neeewary to establish that scale of prices at which commerce is brought to a state of barter, and linternaional debts to reciprocal liquidation. Hence it would follow, that the amount of a metallic or quasi-metallic currency can never be governed by the internal use or demand for a medium of exchange ; but the quantity, the value, the facility of having and enjoy ing this great and necessary element of social life depends altogether on the peculiar state of our foreign trade. Whenever, therefore, by any chance, or turn of fortune or of tee elements, or of the blunders of our merchants, imports exceed exports, the whole union and its industry must be put in fet ters and locked up, in order to prevent this uneven I balance from running away with our gold. This fettering and locking up is produced by an artificial rise in the value of money, and a total stoppage of credit. If all this be the case, be prudent and be true, valet a powerful argument does it afford to those theorists who would create an 2xclusively do mestic currency, leaving foreign trade and inter change to be carried on by the means of bullion? If, indeed, the pecuniary distresses of the country, and the necessity of taking from its currency to pay for imports was occasioned by over-trading, over-spe culation, as was the case when the series of currency laws were enacted, then, indeed, the utility of a bank, at once the fountain of state issue and commercial credit, would be evident, and the advantage of the powers conferred upon it of checking trade and stopping speculation, by a doable contraction of the circulation, might be admitted. But then the balance of import over export has been occasioned by no mercantile blunder or extravagance, but simply by a dearth of home crops, and by the importation necessary to supply the void. At such a moment to paralyse the manufacturing and trading industry, which needs its accustomed, and more than its accustomed, facilities of care and credit, to provide a commercial exchange, is preposterous. It is more than idle to talk of the great benefits of the contraction of the circulation, in depressing trade and lowering the prices of goods, by which a greater demand would be created for them in foreign coun tries. There could not but have been a demand for them in that country, grown so momentarily wealthy by the transmission and sale of suck quantities of agricultural produce. The system of credit forbids the English manufacturer to meet or supply this demand, and he is comforted, forsooth, by the assu rance that when hie ruin and distress shall have lowered pr , .cce, that then, and hereafter, there will be a very brisk demand, and that he will be able to manufacture and to sell. Truly the manufacturer ought to be very much obliged to Mr. TORRENS, highly sensible of the bene fits which the Bank and the act of 1844 confer upon him in PO roundabout a way. Whilst all those who live on and by the home market may discover, if they can, why they are sacrificed to the security of a bank and the caprices of foreign trade. ON the 22nd of last mouth we directed attention to an injudicious regulation,. enforced by the customs department in Boulogne, m virtue of which, all yes . ads, carry ing passengers only, are subjected to the same har bour dues as vessels carrying merchandise, if there should chance to be any person aboard car ping despatches, letters , or newspapers Our morn ; Ink contemporaries took up the question at a later plead, and endeavoured to compensate for their pro . amstination by the greater pungency of their articles. • 'The consequence has been exactly what might have -• anticipated—that the mumapaliothmediee aad ' Chamber of Commerce at Borders, while vocating the enlightened view of the glaethea. • • have been compelled to protest piss* the aeon personalities levelled at their owentrymen in -or out of office.

When Pius resolved on going, he summoned the major domo, and bade him present his estimate of the expenses of such a trip. That official re-appeared with a detailed programme involving a tottk of 2,000 dollars. " Send me the postmaster!" said Pins. Prince Massimo (our old friend) was summoned, and a bargain struck to do the business for 400, and no mistake. Thus does our monarch respect the feelings of the taxpayers. The grand annual procession of Corpus Christi has just taken place with a splendour and devotional =thuds= never witnessed in by-gone years. The weft novel feature, however, was the brilliant appear- I once of the Noble Guard in their new steel helmets. This new head-gear is after the fancy of Pius himself, who is a connoisseur in military points, and has pre- &iced something superior to your " Albert hat." It is of the old Homan model, and garnished behind with an abundant cataract of horsehair. The pre-' vions cocked hat and feathers gave these young nobles a mere effeminate and holiday semblance. Their present accoutrement is to them an admonition to prepare, if necessary, for hard knocks on the head, if they really . mean to prove an efficient body-guard to the champion of human progress in the teeth of the old despots of Europe. Lord Ward had an interview with our sovereign a few days ago. Pius, willing to be affable, but at a loss how to compliment his eccentric visitor, feli citated his lordship on " his easy circumstances"! In the Colemporoneo of this week there is honour able mention of the death and obsequies of Father Borghi, a Capuchin, translator of PINDAR ! Several thousand liternti assembled-to bury the votary of the cowl and of the muse. There occurs in that paper no allusion to the funeral ceremony performed at St. Agatha, but there is a pastoral letter from some Italian bishop, in Lombardy, imploring alms for the country that has produced un Usterio (Archbishop Usher), on Moore (Tom), et on O'Connell (Dan.) a droll trio ,junta in tow. Gibson has just left us to escort in person his statue of the Queen to Genoa, and thence to Eng land. It is very probable that the same steamer will convey to Southampton her Majesty's marble -ffigy and the remains of her devoted subject now lying in that city. Should a royal salute be fired at Spithead on the arrival of both? I pause for a reply. respect fbr every individual member of the custom house staff of their harbour, and only wish to argee civilly for the abolition of a regulation which, if per severed in, will be far more injurious to them than it ma be to any , Englishman. The question is a very simple one. If a Folkston. steamer enters the harbour of Boulogne, carrying Roods, the regular tonnage dues must be paid upon it. ft d he s' steamer carry passengers only, it is quit for the payment of a small sum per head for its pas sengers. But if one of these parnen/ers be a courier, carrying despatches, or a private individual, carrying a letter or a newspaper, the despatches, letter, or newspaper, u the ease may be, are c a lled goods, and the steamer is declared liable to pay full tonnage dues, according to its measurement. The oppressive effect of such a regu lation on any oompany whose steamers may ply between Boulogne and any port in England with pas eengers is obvious ; and its prejudicial effect upon Boulogne itself is equally apparent This exaction may diminish the passenger traffic of the port, but it cannot increase the goods traffic it may cause Bou logne to lose the hesd-money . for passengers, bat cannot make tonnage dues flow in in lieu of it. Nay, in the present state of railway and steam navigation, I it is likely to prevent the goods traffic of the port from reaching the amount it might otherwise attain.' The bulk of the letters and despatches passing by Bon- 1 logne are expresses of merchants and journalists; their free passage will be the precut sor and oceasion of increased commercial activity—of a greater carrier traffic by steam-boat and railway, of which Boulogne must be the principal entrep6t ; their obstruction will retard and check the development of business. It is no exaggeration to say that for every ton upon which duty may be exacted under the plea that a mercantile letter is merchandise, thousands of tons of mer chandise, which might, in consequence of that letter, have passed through Boulogne, will be kept back. This, we are happy to observe, is the view taken of the matter by the liberal and enlightened mercan tile body of Boulogne. To an application made to the Chamber of Commerce by Mr. BARNARD, agent' of the Folkatone Steam Packet Company, that body replied, on the 9th hest, that they had taken into their "most serious consideration" his reclamation against " the payment of full tonnage dues by the com pany's packet boats, on account of the transmission of dispatches ;" and that he may " give his company fell assurance that nothing will be omitted on the part of the chamber for the satisfactory adjustment of the affair." In the same spirit the Mayor of Boulogne (who is also, we believe, president of the chamber) wrote to Mr. BARNARD on the Bth. "The impost appears to ns unjust, illegal, and contrary to the en lightened spirit which dictated the decision of ills 13th March, 1832. by which the duty on tonnage was converted into a duty proportioned to the number of pas engers." These gentlemen have not confined ' themselves to mere words and fair promises. We are given to understand that the chamber has memo rialised (or is immediately to memorialise) the Director General of the Customs on the subject, and that they have solicited the intervention of their deputy, M. F. DET.F.I3BERT. We cannot see on what grounds the government of France can refuse to regulate intercourse by letters on the NUM liberal principle on which in 1832 they regu lated personal intercourse between England and France. The same reason speaks for making personal and epistolary communications equally free and nitre. stricted. The question must be regarded by the central government of France not as a mere local' grievance effecting Boulogne or Calais alone. If despatches and letters are merchandise in the eye of the law at these two ports, they must have the same character at Dieppe, Havre, and St. Malo. The question at issue, in reality, is whether the government of France will promote or obstruct that unrestricted communication between the two most powerful and enlightened nations of the world, which can alone establish that almost identity of interests, that intimate acquaintance and cordial friendship which, owing to their close proximity, is indispensable to the establishment of permanent peace between them. FRANCE.—PARIS, JUNE 16.—PRINCE DE JOlN viLte 1N ALDERIA.—On the 7th the Prince de Joinvide left Algiers on a rapid tour in the south, accompanied by his aide.de-camp, M. Touchard, and by M. de Ciuy, chef d'escadron of the staff. Relays were ordered to be in readi ness all along the road. His royal highness 'togged at Bouffanek, and was struck with admiration at toe richness of ILA vegetation. Colonel Claparide and most efahe officer. at Blidah caste to meet the prince at /dered, where he mounted on horseback, in order to have a better vi.,w of the country, which, being covered with the harvest and studded with pretty villages, presented a striking contrast with the negative results which the evil passion of misrepresentation has attributed to all our attempts at colonisation. The Prince de Joinville received visits from, and invited to dine with him, all the chief civil and military authorities of Blidah, but declined all the public honours due to his rank. This species of cognito, however, is to cease on his entering the territory of the Arabs; becau'e it would not be considered by them as consistent with their ideas of royal majesty. It may there fore be expected that they will come in crowds to receive the son of their sultan, and entertain him with brilliant fan tidies. On the Bth, the prince was to start at six in the morning for the Col de Mousaia, where General Many would be ready to meet him with a numerous goose of Iladjoutes. Before the prince left Algiers, the governor general ad interim, General de Bar, and the admiral com manding the naval station, had the honour of dining with him on board his flag-ship. SWITZERLAND.—BEENE, JUNE 12.—FALL or a BRIDGE AND Loss or 1400.—A dreadful accident, which took place here yesterday afternoon, has spread consterna tion throughout our town. A bridge was being built over the Aar, at Sieffenau, at about a league from Berne. A scaf folding had been erected to support the beams, over which were to pass the ei.ormous blocks of stone necessary to form the last arch, when a gust of wind made the leaffoldiag fall with the workmen then standing on it. About 30 havebeen seriously hurt, 7 killed on the spot, and several others drowned in the Aar. The hurt are so mounded, that it is despaired of saving their lives. They are ler the most part poor men, with large families. The damage is estimated at 60,0001 r. Mr. Cotombara, the principal architect, is re sponsible for the lola. GERMANY. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JUNE 14. The reeolutiia of the second chamber to petition the King that the estimates and accounts may ba communicated to committees of the two chambers, with a view to their being regularly submitted to discussion in each, was communicat ed to the first chamber, for its concurrence, on the 9th inst. It eppeere, from the report published in the state journal of this day, that the debate on the proposal was adjourned. BARON liumnoLrrr.—A letter from Berlin states that H. Alexander de Humboldt is so ill that his physicians despair of his recovery. HELIGOLAND.—The Rhenane Obserrer asserts that the English are pripar to undertake the fortification of Heligoland by great e ngi neering works, and to make another Gibraltar of this li ttle island, which commands the enttatice of the Elbe. Among the chief of these works is to be the construction of a port capable of receiving one hundred vessels. The expense of these works will, it to said, amount to 6,800,000 mares hence. Seeing that nothing of these enterprises has been heard of here, this news appears to be of a doubtful character. Our Paris letters, and the journals of 'Wednesday, have been received. The subjects under discussion in the chambers, such as medical reform, the reduction of the duty on salt, the budget, &c., offer little in terest to the foreign reader. The law authorising the Bank of France to issue notes as low as 200 francs (81.) is formally published, and this change in the circulating medium will imme ' diately be effected. The report of M. Bignon, on the budget of ex penses of 1848, was on Tuesday distributed to the Chamber of Deputies in the name of the committee. The ordinary budget amounts to 1,544,072,627 t., and the committee proposes a reduction of 7,000,000 f. The reductions on tne extraordinary credits are mach greater; they amount altogether to 92,768,000 E, and are in the credits for extraordinary works in the de partments of public works, war, and marine. The government had demanded 472,288,939 f. M. d'Haussonville's report on the bill relating to the law courts in the co►onies was distributed on Tues day. The committee declares itself in favour of the adoption of the bill, which it considers as a useful supplement to that of 1845. The committee proposes only one modification—to authorise not only the coun cillor-auditors, but the royal judges, to sit if necessary , in the criminal courts. The contents of the correspondence and journals of 1 Madrid of the 11th possess little interest The quicksilver mines have been adjudicated to the company of the Bank of the Fomento. Roths child's house bid for the contract, but failed. The advices from the provinces generally were favourable respecting the prospects of the harvest. In many parts of the kingdomthe harvest is already over and the crops gathered in. The government has granted permission to General Pezuela to reside at Madrid. Zbt ere uti.

The heat has been quite intolerable until this week, when a few teeming clouds floated hither and took pity on the perched-up patrimony of St. Peter. These refreshing showers happened to coincide with the Pope's return to town from the Apennine wilder ness of Subiwo, and long may he reign over us. Nothing can exceed the dismay which his conduct in abolishing the fat sinecure of that " abbot " has spread among the whole tribe of clerical aspirants after loaves and fishes : of such our city has been cram. full from time immemorial. There is now an end to all their bright visions a In Friar Tack : Atter dinner of beeves I dream, Bat that to fit pullets sad clouted crews! Every church living that falls vacant is sure to be stripped of any superfluous wealth, and reduced to its most frugal limits before it be conferred on any successor, and that successor must show some claim besides the petty accomplishments and often unworthy influences which hitherto misdirected church promotion. Jobbers and Pharisees bewail in accents of sadly attuned Gregorian cant, thie, to them, p rem onitory symptom of their utter do wnfall- I have more than once in the course of this corre spondence, taken occasion to describe the policy of. Pius IX. as far from being dependent on the mob, or inclined to pander to mere popular whims ; and last week affords an instance corroboratory of that user tion. On the day of his expected return, an immense concourse left Rome to welcome their sovereign, and took up various positions along the road. Not far from the mons serer, ever memorable for old Agrippa's s peech about the " belly and the members," a lot of the great unwashed had by a predeftrmined scheme mustered in force, determined to have their wisher waived to the Pope in the most imperative fashion. For this purpose they had engaged a noted character from the greeterere quarter of the town, kneirn tbr aoer h o t e rft of the gab by the surname at io (which must be pronounced, &wording to Walker, Chichero-whackio) to be their spoken man on the occasion. On the approach of the Papal escort, these plebeians blocked up the. , and their champion, from the top of a Ei ge his oration, modestly begging that he b v i r ir ol ob ' them by turning off the present governor of Rome (Grasseltni). Ma perchet said Pius, Porele note lo vogliatsto ! replied the a Cioeronian " spokes man. The Pontiff, disgusted with the impudence of the whole proceeding, motioned to the motley crowd to kneel down, as be would give them his blessing. When he saw them all fairly on their marrow-bones, he signalled his escort to move on at double quick trot, briefly . bestowiag his benison on the d eluded a , and was soon lost in a cloud of dust eard), out of the reach of impertinence.

THE NEWSVENDERs' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. —The eighth annual meeting took place last evening at Andarton's Hotel, Fleet-street. Mr. Harmer, the chair man, was prevented by illness from attending, and in his letter of apology i nelosed 101. as his subecription. The re port stated that 501. had been added during the past year to the amount of stock. It would have been gratifying could the members at that meeting have Made the election Of a candidate for the benefits offered by the institution ; but the oely one who bad applied was sines dead.

The committee congratulated the members on the fact of so few among them having been necessitated to claim relief; and would impress on the trade in general the re cemity of becoming life or annual members of the society.

RESTITUTION OF TITHES TO THE CHURCH.—Yee terday a public mewing of noblemen and gentlemen con nected with the Tithe Redemption Trust, established for the purpose of regaining for the church the tithes now in the bands of lay impryiriatere, was held at their chambers in Abingdon-street.-I,rd J. Mennen, M.P., presided, and was supported In Lord Robert Groavetsor, X P., the Bishop of Exeter, the Rev. Dr. Sprenger, the Rev Wm. Waken, the Rev. W. &islet, the Rev R. Eden, R. Few, Esq., R. Dingwall, Esq., 0. H. Drew, Esq., G. Langton, Esq., and several other clergymen and gentlemen.—The Rev. W. W. Millet read a lengthened report of the operations of the so- I ciety, from which it ,ppeared that several lay impropriutors had communicated with the society, expressing a d , sire to restore the tithes held by them for the purposes of the church, even at a considerable sacrifice. A cor respond, nee had been entered into with Lord Lyttelton, who has intimemd his intention of supporting the society. Mr. Gladstone had been appealed to with equal success. The report was adopted.—The Bishop of Emcee said he looked upon the society as one of the Maned importance, and he had little doubt thatere long it would accomplish the great olject for which it was established, however slight and un promising the commencement of its labours might appear. He was aware that for the present his grace the Archbishop of Canterbury had declined joining the society, although he had tendered his thanks for the good fee ing towards the church on the part of those who had formed it. The arch bishop could not in justice to his high position connect him self with new schemes, the success of which was not perfectly certain, but it was different with him (the Bishop of Exeter); and he had no Incitation in saying that he would give the scheme his hearty supp,rt. He bud little doubt from what he knew of the holders of impropriate tithed that they would let them go to the church on very favourable terms. The society wool I be valuable as the recognised depository for the donations or quesi.donations of those who were favourable to the plan. It was in that way that he regarded them institution. all of great use.—Lord J. Manners having reads reportexplanatory of tbe objects of the society, some discussion ensued on it, and a sub-committee, consist ing of the following gentlemen, was appointed to wry out the necessary preliminaries, for the more effectual establish ment of the society : Lord J. Manners, M.P. ' Lord Robe Grosvenor, 114. P., the Rev. Dr. Sprenger, G. H. Drew, Earl., and It. Few, Esq. On the motion of the Bishop of Exeter, seconded by the Rev. Dr. Sprenger, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, which the noble lord briefly acknow ledged. The meeting then dispersed. COLOMBIAN MINING ASSOCiATION.—The twenty seventh annual meeting of proprietors was held yesterday at the offices in Auetinfriers. Mr. J. D. Fowles presided. The directors commenced their report by referring to the progress which was making in Marmato last veer, in pre , goring machinery, by tutees of which Mr. Hopkins expected fse effect the entire extraction of the precious metals from the elneral, and so to do away with the great loss which the mewspany had allege sustained in that process. After a long and persevering tr.al with the newly invented "separators," the use of them had been abandoned. They were not found to inactive the quantity of geld extracted front the ore. After several experiments the matter was put to the test by the reduction of distinct parcels of mineral under the old and , under the new process, the one being conducted by Mr. Hopkins, and the other by the company s head dresser, Mr. ,! Canyon . The result showed no incresse of produce in I favour of Mr. Hopkins's machinery. The result of the working for the pare year showed a balance against the mines of 1,3011. 17s. 2d. That lose occurred in the first three months of the year. The quantity of fine gold produced at IMumato during the put year was 3801b5., being 911bs. for the first quarter, 7611 e. for the second, .9811 m. for the third, I god 1201 be. for the fourth. The report of Mr. Degenhardt, die speperintendent, dandling the progress and condition of the aerssppsesetine mines, followed, after which the committee pttseseded to observe that the principal feature in the pro ceedings of the year had been the opening of the Pentane I nine, which heel before been only examined. It was found to be a continuation of the Cite Pesos lode ; and Mr. Degen bandt expressed a very strong opinion that it would prove a 1 valuable mine to the company. The directors canehaded by alluding to the law which had bees mold in New Gessada during the year, authorising the expect of gold an payemaa of a duty of 6 per cent., to include the quint* (gommaset duty), smelting dues, and poetege; seder which a pert of the produce of the mines bad bees gest to England, end bed s m = l l:e s t U a th d:lne em ra n d f;i2,1,,t1. lA. cad the the de for geld. intsvdeced cola the Aube tar by 34 per cent.

CLONXEL.—Mr. Bagwell, who has addressed Clonmel, will 'se, it is said, a supporter of Lord John Russell's policy. D e OLIN Cue NTT AND CITY.—The probability of a contest has again been raised by the publication of the parliamentary returns. It must be coefessed these are not very encouraging. The rr peal,rs admit that they are out of the field—they have not the remotest chance of returning two repealer' ; and there will be no repeal candidates for Dublin city. The aext quests n, then, which arises, is, nil the city return two supporters of the administration ; If whim and repealer, work to. ether, " Yes ;" if not, "No." Let us hope that good sense may resume her sway, and that the metropolis may be Termed from the grasp of the tarifa. For the county there is little present hope ; but it is thought a Ishig gentleman would find very cordial support. The influences in operation here are not so unfavourable as in the city ; for there are here an immaculate freemen. In the city they number 6,000. DUNDALK, it is said, will be contested by the Hon. Mr. Jocelyn, brother of Lord Roden. He will not be likely to induce the constituency to reject Mr. Daniel O'Connell ; if tbii feat could be accomplished by any member of the family, Lord Jacelyn is the man. DENEFoRDSIIIRE.—The liberal candidate, Mr. G. C. Lewis, has issued an address to the electors. in which he avows himself a supporter of the present ministry. KNARESBOROUOIL — Sir Charles Slingsby bee declined the honour of being nominated at the neat election by the con servatives of this borough. The two free traders, the lion. W. S. Lascelles and Mr. J. P. Westhead, have, at present, noopponentirin the field. I.....NlTH.—riellew and Fortescue are quite safe for this place. Lemma—Mr. John Robert Godley has addressed the electors. lie has not declared any political form of faith, but his views of public matters may be gathered from the part ho has taken in the landlord movement since October last, particularly in the proceedings of the " Irish party." He is the coneoctor of the colonisation scheme proposed to the administration by that party. It is not easy to decide upon his chances, but if Col. White used his info. nee, Leitrim should return a whig. kieurterions.—Last evening a meeting of electors of the borough of Marylebooe, convened by the United ILtarm Association, took place at the King and Queen Tavern, Paddington green, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee appointed to ascertain if the liberal candidates were prepared to submit their claims to a ballot of the moo. elation. Mr. T. Langbam, of Paddington, presided. Mr. Douglas read letters which had been received in reply from Mr, D. W. Harvey, Lord Dudley Stuart, and Mr. Serjeant expresive of their willingness to comply with the terms of the resolution, and from Mr. D. Salomon, regrettieg that he was no longer a candidate. The report proceeded to re commend th at on the depths ballot was takes. all the candio Ives should have the opportunity of addressing the association, and that the candidates obtaining the majority at the ballot should then be submitted to a great public meeting of liberal electors for approbation. Mr. Hetherington moved that before the as sociation proceed to a ballot, a day be appointed for a general meeting of the association to discuss the merits of the candi dates. Mr. Beacon seoonded the motion, which, after some discussion, was put and carried unanimously. Mr. John Williams begged to announce that Sir Charles Napier was not going to Lisbon, and had, therefore, again determined to present himself as a candidate for the borough. Mr. Boyle moved " That Sir Benjamin Hall be written to, and asked whether he intended to submit to undergo the ordeal of the ballot, And that such ordeal be required of him by the atso ciation." This resolution having been seconded, was, after considerable discuaion, ultimately adopted, and thanks being passed to the Chairman, the proceedings, at a late hour, terminated. NEWPORT, LIMB or WICINT.—This borough is likely to be warmly contested, no less than four candidates be ing already in the field—Mr. Blake, who was defeated at the last election, and Mr. Crompton, a Varrister, on the liberal side ; and Mr. Wykeham Martin, one of the present mom bers, in conjunction with Mr. Spenser de Horsey, on the part of the conservatives. The two parties in the borough hare always been very equally balanced. All the cendidatm, a. is usual on such occasion+, declare themselves certain of being returned. PEXIMOKIL—Capt. Child has issued an address. He meekest his honesty of principle, and says " I have no greedy relatives and impeetants around me to satisfy, to whose wants and rarest,. I must barter personal inde pendenee." STAYPOILD.—MI. E. W. Robertson has offered himself as • candidate if liberal politics. He addressed the electors on Tuesday from the window of the Star Hotel, but as the rain was felting very briskly he had but • small audience. A correspondent mys, " Another candidate is expected in the town strongly recommended, and in every way likely tat meet the wishes of the electors. Mr. Meteyard has been prosecuting his maven for the last few days, and is said to have met with much encouragement." Srmeroan..—Mr. Holt, Q.C., arrived in the town on Wed nesday, and In the evening addressed nearly 2,000 persona, by whom he was mithusiaaticalky received, and bailed as a likely perms to break down the undue influence usually exercised by the Marquis of Exeter. The nominees of this nobleman are the Marquis of Granby, and the Right Hon. J. C. Retries. They are expected to enter upon their can vass this day (Friday). IRELAND. DUBLIN, Joie 17. It has been remarked to-day of the meeting of the Irish coma (repotted below), that it was composed of twepartimia the erfeetry only.

As it is waHisr premature to speculate upon the degree of poorer or influence which this body may attain, it is tiltheetasery to do more at present than advert to this'' evert wit. of hostility. Most people doubt the pre demsk theofh they cannot but admire the candour, which prams. to unite all Irish parties, and cora mem by avowed hostility to one.

STATZ OF THE COUNTRY —The Mayo papers speak with great confidence of the harvest pruspects ; potatoes, whose calks had shown symptom. of what was deemed dis ease, are now quite healthy. There are accounts in those papers of three murders in a county proverbially peaceful and observant of human life—they are, hc.wever, in no way connected with the condition of the couetry, arisiug solely from the impulses of panioo. The accounts to-day respect. ing the potato crop are most elm e ring—it is most luxuriant and promising. The relief committees are in full operation, and the distress has, consequently, been sppeased, if it has not disappeared. The accounts of outrages upon property in Tipperary continue—those on persons are, thank pro vidence, at present nil. LARGE ARRIVAL or PROVISIONS AT Cove.—Cave har bour at this period presents a magnificent and truly gratifying appearance—vessels of all sizes, and from all countries, fleeting on the ft placid waten." Within the last few days an immense quantity of bread cubs has arrived, and by advises received, much more may he ex pected within a few days. The arrivals On Saturday comprised seven cargoes of masse, amounting to 1,868 tons. Among other vessels that entered tha part on Sunday were eleven cargoes of maize, four of wheat, and three of barley; comprising 1,890 tons of maize, 780 tons of wheat, and 716 tom of barley ; and on yesterday and thin morning, up to 9 o'clock, the arrivals were twelve cargoes of maize, three of wheat, and two of barley and peas,amounting 'a2,874 tons of maize,Bol tons of wheat, and 896 tons barley and peas. A memorandum to our advice, received this morning from Cove, says :—" There are a great number of vessels in, but it is impossible to give particulars by this post." We are not, therefore, to assume that the extraordinary quantity of food that bas arrived within the bet two or three 9,527 tons, is more than a portion of the seasonable supply brought to our shone by the late westerly winds. ARRIVAL OF ANOTURR RELIEF Stmt.—The William Duggan, schooner, arrived at Cork from Now York, on Sun day last, bringing a cargo of over 200 tons for the relief of the distremed Irish. The cargo, which has been consigned to the Society of Friends, for distribution, comprises Indian corn of the very finest quality, about 20 barrels of potatoes, several boxes of clothing, sundry casks of bread-stuff, &c. PROVINCIAL. TYPHUS Fevra prevail; in Ashton and Stalybridge to . a serious extent. From a report drawn up . by the auperin tendeet of police, it appears that there are in Stalybridge 29 cases, 22 of which are of the worst description. In one house there are II persona ill of fever. In /olden there are up wards of 40 eases. PROSPERITT.—The Liverpool Courier of Wedncsday states that one of the leading corn houses in Liverpool received 1,100,0001. in businrse transactions during the month of May. If this be taken as a criterion of the years business, it will show transaction. to the extent of 13,000,000 an nually ; and if we suppose the profit to be so moderate as half per cent. (10a. on every 100/.), an income of 60,0001. per annum would be realised by the house alluded to. A FETFR HOSPITAL FOR Two THOUSAND PATIENTS. — By the report of a meeting of the Liverpool relict vestry it oppertra that, notwithstat.ding all the accommodation hitherto provided on land and water to keep pane with the spread of lever among the Irish immigrants, the contagion continues to gain head by rapid and alarming strides. With the view of meeting the evil boldly, the vestry are about to act upon a plan approved by Mr. Austin, the assistant poor-law commissioner, that of converting the industrial school at Kirkdale into a vest fever hospital. The childrtn are to be gent-650 of them to the Swinton schools, belonging to the Manchester union, and 300 of them to the Lancaster and Fylde unions; and in this way additional accommodation is to be created at Kirkdale for upwards of 2,000 fever patients. The subject has been referred to the Irish relief committee, who are to report upon it on Friday. MURDER AT KNOWSLEY listr..—The household of Lord Derby, and the residents is the Immediate neighbourhood of Knowsley-hall, were thrown into • state of considerable excitement on Sunday evening last by the following shock ing occurrence. About 7 o'clock in the evening, a man, without hat or shoes, came to the door of the lodge in Knows ley-park, and in which resides an old retainer of the family, well known as Betty Highthek, and her servant maid, a girl of 15, named Ann Leyland. The old woman was alarmed at the man's appearance, and told him to go away, an she had nothing to give him. He imnediately rusittd at and threw her down. The girl Leyland mu terrified out of the house, down the avenue larking to the main carriage-road. The 8240i110, for such be anamed, pursued her.
