Tiede lordship have already OTIS directions that no par ties efts semit email remuamg in store in the different depft skald be said Perri for e sake of disposing of it. It has been Sally by the experienoe of the late operatkas, *at Ike ports ea the northers, eastern, and southern Poists from Londonderry to Cork, and those parts of theinterior which are ordinarily supplied from them, may Islay be left to the foresight a nd enterprise of private menisants ; and it will only be neces sary for the government, so far as this part of Ireland is, concerned, to take effectual precautions that the supplies introdueed by private traders from shred are properly pro tected, both while they are in transit and when they are stored for future consumption ; and for this purpose their lordships rely upon the Lord Lieutenant making every asesseary arrangement in communication with the Com monage of the Forces in Ireland, and the Inspector-Geaeral of the Constabulary Force. Acting on this principle, their lordships have directed that the supplies of food now in store should be concentrated without delay at the following dePte : In the Interior—Longford, Banagher. On the coast—Limerick, Galway, Westport, Sligo. And Commissary-General Ilewetson has been instructed to take immediate steps for the transfer of the quantity remain ing in store in the depot at Cork to Limerick, in the charge of which depot he will 'relieve Commissary-General Coffin, who will remain on fall pay with a view to his being employed hereafter, as the occasion may require. Subordinate depts will be established, under the charge of the constabulary, at other places on the western coast, as the necessity for taking such a step may become apparent. Their lordships desire that it may be fully understood, that even at those places at which government depots will bo established for the sale of fond, the depots will not be = while food can be obtained by the people from private at reasonable prices • and that, even when the depts are opened, the steal will, if possible, be sold at such prices as will allow of the private trader selling at the same price with a reasonable profit. The Ittlief Commission ceased on the 15th instant, since which period Commimar7-General Sir Randolph Routh has continued to transact such business as required immediate attention ; and, considering the experience which has been acquired by that officer, and his well-proved ability for the task, their Lordships are of opinion that the duties confided to the Relief Commission during the late operations ma with great public advantage be entrusted to Sir Randolph Routh, acting under the authority of the Lord Lieutenant, and in constant communication with this board. Their Lordships have taken steps to procure the early arrival in this country, from the stations where they are employed abroad, of a sufficient number of well-qualified commissariat officers, not only to take charge of the depots which it has been determined to retain, but also, under the eiders of Sir Randolph Routh, to communicate with the Local Relief Committees, and to afford, through him, to her Majesty's government, correct information as to the state of the districts in which they will be stationed. Measures have also been taken for strengthening the Board of Works, to enable it to meet the coming emergency, on which subject a separate communication will this day be made to the Board of Works and his excellency the Lord Lieutenant. Transmit a copy of this minute to Mr. Redington, and request that he will move the Lord Lieutenant, if he shall concur th :rein, to give the necessary directions in regard to such of the arrangements as more immediately depend upon his excellency for carrying them into effect. Also transmit a copy to the Commi sioners of Public Works, end to Commiesary-General Sir Randolph Routh, for their information sad guidance. THE furious onset made by the Tory Protectionists upon the constituency of the City of London; the simultaneous movement against the new Free-trade freeholders in the metropolitan counties ; and other inanceuvres of the same description in different parts of the country ; will not, we hope, escape the notice of the Committee of Observation which was appointed by the council of the Anti-Corn-law League when on the eve of dissolution. It behoves that committee seriously to inquire whether this treacherous attempt of expiring monopoly, may not threaten peril to the permanence of the triumph recently achieved. We call on them to consider whether it does not merely warrant but demand measures of defence and of just retaliation. If their information, and we presume they have been left in possession of exten sive means of information, authorise the apprehensions which appearances excite, it will be their duty, and what the public expects of them, not to let any deli cacy as to Mr. COBDEN'S absence from England, or any squeamishness about what foes and false friends may say, or any misplaced reliance on the mere fact of a Liberal administration being at present in office, interfere with the prompt and decisive step which the emergency may demand. There is yet time for call ing in the wand instalment of the Quarter Million Fund ; for remindaioning the legal employes and vegielaution spats of the League ; for again aamem- A. dkoerationx, the Executive Council, with tbesv tellectofol4oA9tWu.soNat itehesdi • leet seliving end organisation which was promis sae witasheifew make teethe seal election; and the hr protatlai on leakesh. able bent to this emexpeeted asnolt. would quail before this mannerism, al thitaegoo. It would affix a final seal to the settling* al the Corn-law question. • Voters and claimants cannot, however, afford to wait, nor is it ash teeny on an auxiliary which may sot epees to the rescue. Ths adeertimencnts which frequentlieppear in our columns fine Mr. SIDNEY SMITH, for the City of London regieration, at $4, CornhW, will guide thine who require immediate information and assistant. Ulterior arrangements, on a larger male, may be made hereafter. If the old Leapt does not revive for their accomplishment, there nest be a sew League; that is all; a registra tion League for the protection of the franchise. The attempt now making has none of the charac tektite of honest party warfare ; even after full allowance for the differences between party honesty sad common honesty. Its aim is to throw the metro polka* ccmstitessey radar• obeftesion. At the last skean, which wee, * • trar4 =4 vigorous contest, only ; 12 1 889 rim= MOO to the polL And now $,BOO are served with objections. On that - oceaaion the Liberals polled 6,633 votes; and now 4,000 are served with objestioes - Noginpperesocie to ilehnd-a vote is quits sufficient for its fasithare ; and then objections will come ass lee death* at • time whoa almost every man, not 411ffined booboos fetters, is out of town. They asewarehe cravat the slightest regard to legitimate or VOW* eons. We wok of them,froan our own knowledge ,as dimend splashiest which ht.ve been on every ngitiliallen AIM An passing of the Reform Bill ; whhh ban Los 1~ pettedly objected to before, and se repeatedly esta blished; where there has been no change of occupa time, residenee, rating, or of any element whatever of the qualification. In feet, we believe that few City voters have camped, if any, who put themselves into oonnexion with the Anti-Corn-law League. It seems, to be seemed that membership of that body is in itself to be tinted as a disqualification. How the City will endure this insult remains to be seen. There is but one effectual remedy : an active and General Registration Society. Local societies are subject to local influences. They cannot detect the frauds in bestowing fictitious qualifia-ttions upon non-residents, with the facility of a general aseociation. This trick has been played, in counties, to a large extent by the monopolist land owners. The multiplication of local societies is a multiplication of expense, with no corresponding increase, but with a great loss, of efficiency. And a general view of the state of the suffrage, such as only a central society can obtain, would show the relative strength and weakness of different localities, so that the one co-operative power might be variously directed according to circumstances. Without some such organisation, elections, county or borough, are in a fair way-fir becoming a farce, or something worse. A reintlifillen at boeselfkle electors might be accom plished; vote the government disposed to create an independent commission for that purpose, with very little trouble, and at the expense of a few thousand pounds per annum. The admirably conducted re gistration of births, deaths, and marriages might serve as a model. It would be necessary to sweep away some of the innumerable technical objections which are now the source of disqualification; a " con summation devoutly to be wished" by all except the meanest traders in political party. A comprehensive yet simple plan for this purpose may be seen in Mr. G. WILSON'S evidence before the late Commission on registration. He estimates the whole cost of • central office at not more than 1,0001. per annum. At ten:times that expense, it would be a huge saving to the public. There has been too much neglect by the wealthier members of the Liberal party as to this matter of registration. They have left the people to bear the burden. Bat thoy should remember) that the people never wanted, nor prayed for, this TOXIfr , time and complicated system. They have had to beer the trouble, the cost, and the frequency of capri cious disfranchisement. They have been taxed tar son heavily than is wise or right. The conse quences have been apparent in one Tory restoration. Is another to be waited for, before the moral is learned? Until the law be amended, the Liberal Is should contribute handsomely towards the =tlevied by their own legislation. It is due ern, until their supporters are enabled to sup port them without being subjected thereby to peculiar and unreasonable taxation. THE business of the House of Commons is conducted in a manner so scrambling as to be perfectly disgrace fill. The Daily News of Saturday, published the conclusion of what purports to be the " Second Re port from the Select Committee on Railway Acts Enactments." The paper was delivered along with the votes and other sessional papers. It is regularly numbered. It bears on back and front the imprimatur of the House of Commons. In the votes of the 25th of August we find this entry : " 55. Railway Acts Enactments Committee—Second Report brought up, and read ; to lie on the table, and to be printed." And lie on the table it accordingly did; for it is not what it pretends to be. It is not a report of the committee. The following letter from Mr. MORRISON, published iu a contemporary of yesterday, explains what the pretended report really is: curve to the Tiaes el to-day.

Juries have, ere now, awarded damages against the publishers of parliamentary papers ; a fact which shows at least that libellous matter may creep into such documents. A corpora tion in which the forms of business are so loose, that a draught report never' regularly laid before • com mittee, only shown in confidence to " the few mem bers who remain in town," can be sent forth as the report of that committee, may some day allow crimi natory charges against individuals by one member to be published as the judgment of a committee. The present case is not quite eo bad as what we have supposed; and yet it is bad enough. The private Incubrations of Mr. MORRISON have been read by thou sands as the deliberate opinion formed upon careful examination of " persons, papers, and records" of Mr. LABOUCHERE, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, Sir JOHN EASTROPE, Mr. HUDSON, Mr. WILSON PATTER, and Mr. WARBURTON, with others, u well as of Mr. MORRISON himself. A delusive impor tance has thus been attributed to the document, which is published in advance of the evidence upon which it professes to rest. And the paper thus palmed upon the public with an authority which does not belong to it is a skilfully-composed piece of ' special pleading, intended to show that the charges of English railway companies are exorbitant; that the companies are extorting from the public and dividing among themselves, unreasonably large gums of money by their monopoly powers; that the English public is worse accommodated in respect of railway conveyance than the continental public ; and that the railway proprietors and direetors in England ought to have their manner of managing their railways subjected to the incessant surveillance and interference of government officers. These opinions may be correct, or they may be erro neous ; but they are simply the opinions of Mr. Moaarsox, and net of the committee to which they have by some aceidenst been attributed. The great railway interests have good caws to complain of the carelemenms which has exposed them PARIS, Avo. 29. Yon are aware of the reception which Mr. Cobden has met with here; all parties have striven which should show him the greatest attention, and every one has been desirous offal:erg in person the hero of the democracy on the other aide of the ChanneL Mr. Cobden was received by the King, who expressed to him his attachment of ancient date to the principles of free trade. He dined at Homiest with M. Odllea Barret, who had assembled to meet him the prin cipal deputies of fM " Gauche; " and with M. Thiele and a large party el the malt eminent of the " Centre Gauche." He had an interview with M.

Nampa, deputy for Bordeaux ; K. Len hoseber, de puty for Rheims • M. L. Raybaud , deputy kw Marseilles ; M.

Penpen, Prud homme, watchmaker i M. • t, bronze manufacturer, mud judge of the 1 ribunal o Commerce ; and M. D. Potonie, merchant in Paris, together with several other deputies, a great number of political economists, public writers, and the principal representatives of the commercial industry of Paris. A few paella= of the Pro terdosiste Were also present, viz.: M. Cabrol, deputy, and dhoolor of the iron-works at Deeezeville • M. P. Ville neassolaperty, and ironmaster ; M. Drouillaid, deputy, sad mentger or the foundries of Alai' , and M. Leone, deputy. In opining the proceedings, which began at eight in the evening . the President briefly explained the objects of the association. He made known the permission granted by the ministry, u well as the statutes approved of by the compe tent authorities; for not only does the government allow of the existence of the society, and admit of its holding public meetings and raising subscriptions, but is desirous also that it should live and prosper. "Be strong," said M. Duchatel to one of the members of the association, " and we will protect you." When the association becomes strong, it will not stand in need of the protection of government; on the con trary, it will furnish an argument and a pretext for the abandonment of the protective system. M. Leon Faucher than spoke, and in an address, which was frequently in terrupted by the applause of the auditory, demonstrated that if the League which was being formed in France, had to contend against more deeply rooted prejudices, and more numerous privileges, than the English League, it might still aux.* itself by the example and the Impulse given by Messrs. Cobden, Bright, and Wilson. ' He explained that Ike ameeislian did not propose to itself the annihilation of esidases dads, 1 en the contrary, it was desirous of resebe that mere productive, by removing prohibitions and eraftg protective tariffs. According to M. Faucher, the customs, which produce in France only 140 millions of francs per annum, might easily be raised to 250 or 300 millions. After examining the results of the pro tective system, he proved that the system had isolated France from her natural allies, Switzerland, Belgium, and Spain; that it had discouraged the natural industrial re sources of the soil, to give an impulse to artificial industries which could not stand against the breath of commercial liberty ; that in raising the price of the articles of consump tion most necessary to man, it had aided in rendering the condition of the labouring classes more miserable ; and finally, that ft had established in the country a real industrial feudality, the fief of iron, the fief of wood, the fief of cotton manufacture and that of cloth, round which the working clam: were grouped in the same relation as the serfs were attached to the manorial rights of the middle ages. To beat down this aristocracy, which was founded on no legitimate power, but had its origin in usurpation alone, M. Faucher appealed to the intelligence and the courage of Parisian industry, the real democracy of labour. In this struggle between monopoly and free-trade, the voice of Paris has not yet made keel( heard. This arises from the division or par tition of this industry. The number of workmen had not hitherto admitted of their inter-communication; but the 11111fra• now offers them a common rallying point. " With support of Paris," said M . Faucher , shall we do lets tea the e Boillsh League with the sup port of Manchester ? bri s liestio been the great arena of thought ; Pa ris have ilLung en thfeer.amputlisi: to Eur venter ope re i s slseMlset a commercial revolution herein birth there also 1 Irep deubtleet, want a Cobden to lead, and be the soul of this mremede ; but the way lies open before us, and we will set paw till we have conquered, in the order of material inte nib, the liberty which should belong to the masses and an imitility of rights." M. Riglet a ft erwards addre ssed the meeting in the name of the working industry of Paris ; and M. Blanqui followed, entering into the most striking details relative to the abuses of the protective system and the evils of our tariffs, in exposing which he was loudly applauded. The meeting finally broke up at eleven o'clock, amidst a general eagerness on the part of those present to subscribe towards its objects. Fne.trade may therefore now be said to be regularly inaugurated in France; and the association which has thus established itself independent of the public authorities, will inevitably compel them to quit the slough in which they have imbedded themselves for the last thirty years. 0. P.S. You will have seen that the Conseitutionnel has been purchased by M. Mosselmon, the rich capitalist, and brother of the Countess Lehon. The Conelinstioruiel will continue under the same editorship, but I doubt very much whether it will remain the organ of the " Centre Gauche." No attempt will be made to modify its politics at present, for fear of losing its subscribers, but it will gradually glide into the ministerial waters. It will be a great loss to the opposi tion, which, sooner or later, will be obliged to esta blis h another nee- r. CONSTANTINOPLE, Ago. 12. Mr. Wellesley has commenced his career as charge d'affaires, by presenting a note to the Porte relative to the Erseroum disturbance. In this document he points out the necessity of instituting a strict inquiry into the business, with a view to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. It is, he proceeds, greatly to be lamented, that Each a scan dalous explosion should have occurred at a moment when everybody had hopes that the differences with Persia were upon the point of reaching a satisfactory settlement. He expresses a hope that speedy reparation will be made to the parties Injured by the riot, in order that the nagotiatkme, which mast necessarily be ineffectual till this new mum of alma be entirely removed, may MOM their cease, and be brought to a hen/ Mendaatioa.

The accounts of the disturb ances in Van seem to have been e On Sunday, the 9th, the Fren zi g ge e r r a ar ted -weamer, Cassini, made her appearance in the Bosphorus, having on board Ad miral Teeple, the commander of the French fleet in the Mediterranean. The admiral had left the Triton, his flag ship, at Tenedos. The usual salutes of 21 guns were inter changed between the French steamer and the Turkish schooner that does the Porte's saluting duty at the mouth of the Golden Horn, and the Cassini proceeded to Therapia. The Turkish fleet, which has been lying this long while as " idle as a painted chi p upon a painted ocean," has been animated with a sudden fit of activity. About eight ships d the line are going to dart to-morrox t under the coa -1 *and of the Capitan Paeha, for a cruise in the Medi lerraneen. No sooner was Admiral Turpin informed of this Om he thought of Tunis. " I must go and look after Mem Turkish cruisers," quoth he; " they may mean some =Algeria -ward." For it seems any demonstration of naval power, even off a dependency of the Porte, gives umbrage to France. And the great protecting powers countenance France in this singular pretension that Turkish men-of-war are not to cruise off Tunis, lest the Algeriaas should tank: it into their heads that Turkey intends to sup port them against their French conquerors, and become troublesome. And this is the way in which the lesser powers get bullied by the greater. But it is far from probable that the Turkish fleet will do anything more extraordinary this year than it doTs on other years. It generally makes a round annually to pick up tribute from the various islands and provinces under its sway: parading a very imposing force along the subject shore, which, no doubt, conciliates respect ftemteibutanes and makes the business of tax-gathering mom e si:;Mehemet Ali, upon taking his departure, will sail for Ha his native place in Macedonia. He has nema a mosque an a school there. His stay at Constantine* lose not made him popular with the Turks. They me a mew marinas people, and great lovers of urbanity in their prima intercourse : and the Viceroy has a bearishness of manner whisk grates them. They say he is very well till he notes his mouth ; but then than tone and topics of his convervation and his manner of delivery, do away with the charm of his venerable appearance. It is easy to account for this. Mehe met Ali is a rough practical man, who has not spent his life in lolling on cushions and reading Hafw, but in dealing with rude and boisterous realities. He has been a hard workman, and kis nature is cased in the workman's callous skin. His mind itself is a sort of great workshop, from which rushee the fruit of untiring labour, hay -t ever been going fix*, All elegant rubbish it utterly disdains, and claps on a early, pride in the presence of pompous nullities. What is these here is move the respect of Mehemet Ali What little work there is is chiefly botchwork. The French amber maims, with a bevy of other fair ladies, paid him a visit at Reshid Pasha's. He sat smoking gruffly upon I his rug, and hardly seemed sensible of the honour. At length when it became necessary for the aged lion to speak, to 'turned to the interpreter and said, " Tell these ladies that Alexandria is a tine town ; we have excellent shops there, and broad streets, and carriages." The ladies went away highly diverted with his eccentricity in paying to himself instead of them. Characteristic era to told of his youthful stapes. Upon one occasion betook a strong fancy to a female at Stamboul ; and fully determined upon carrying her off in the ship which had brought bins (then a soldier in the service of the Porte) to the capital, he drove her down the street before him to the quay, with a pistol in each hand, and his ystaghan between his teeth, defying all lets to his savage will. The people ran out of their shops and pursued him with polo. They would have stoned him, but they thought it a pity to kill so promising a young man. At length ho was eseured rid imprisoned. The Austrians have succeeded in getting an Austrian annul allowed to reside at Rustchuk. Their ostensible ye for maintaining a consul there is to protect the Transylvanian shepherds who past the Danube annually for pasturage, to which they have, it seems, an ancient right on payment of a 'mall tribute to the Porte. The concentration of Turkish forces at the eastern angle id the Black Sea at this moment deserves attention. On Friday, the 7th, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Achilles and a Turkish steamer left the Bosphorus, for Trebisond, with 1,500 men, under the command of Omer Paeha, an officer who his distinguished himself in Syria and Albania. Two regiments of the army of Anatolia have been ordered to the same destination. Two steamers and a brig will 00-operate with this land force. One can hardly ima gine that the trifling outbreak occasioned by the escape of Kent-Hussein Bey, and his machinations in Lazestan, can be anything more than the ostensible cause for so considerable an expedition. Perhaps the real one is to assume an impos. ing attitude near the Persian frontier. The common people here attribute all these movements to the presence of Mehe met Ali. The Cireissians, particularly, cannot be persuaded that Mehemet Ali has not induced the Porte to go to war with Russia. On Monday, the 10th, the Grand Vizier gave a dinner to the Viceroy aad all the ministers. On Tuesday next he will be entertained at a grand banquet by the Sultana Valide, at the palace of Tcheraghan, and on Wednesday by Lame Sultana, the Sultan's aunt. FRANCE. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH DEN MARL.—According to the National a commercial treaty is about to be concluded between France and Denmark, and a French Consulship isto be established at Kiel, on the Baltic. FORGERY OF GOVERNMENT STAMPS.—In a case of forgery, which for several days has occupied the Paris Arises, a verdict was given on Saturday. In France it is requisite for the way-b il ls of carriers to be stamped, and it was lately discovered that the exchequer had been defrauded to a very considerable amount by forged stamps on way bills. The fraud was on so extensive a scale, as in some quarters to cause an apparent deficiency in the revenue. It was at length discovered that there was a regular traffic going on between the author of the forged stamps and the clerks of the commisaionaires de roulage, or some of the principals. A number of remiss engaged in that trade were arrested, and a strict investigation set ou feot by justice, but the author of the forgeries, and one of the most active agents in abetting the fraud, were alone sentenced, the first to ten, the second to five years' imprisonment. The commis sionaires de roulage got off with a condemnation of damages to the Unwary, on the supposition that they had employed the stamps without the knowledge that they were forged. SPAIN. Extract of a Letter from Barcelona, Aug.,2l.—A considerable body of troops, chiefly artillery, have just left the town to scour the country. An outbreak is much feared. A great store of arms and ammunition was discovered yesterday two or three doors from the Contain-General's own palace. The authorities are evi deitly alarmed. How far the general excitement which pre vails may be connected with, and encouraged by, the Pro gresista party I cannot tell ; but the issimasiiate muse of the rise, deny there be, will be the sessidess spleen of taxa tion introduced by Mon, which the peogis are utterly unable to bear. About an hour ago there nem same diebrelemeses in the Rambla and some of the primed's' elms* in maw queuee of a body of armed policemen eampelling all those shopkeepers, who could or would net pay fie tax claimed, to shut up their establishments. A poor unman, dealing in salt fish, the whole of whose stock was earteinly not worth 61., WWI taxed 161., 300 per cent. upon the total value of her goods. Of course she allowed her scanty desk to be seized, and placing herself in the midst either:monied market began to complain aloud in the most bitter teems of the *justice and rapacity of government. She soon gathered around her a large audience whose sympathy began to assume a rather threatening aspect towards the authorities, and it had to be by force; but I do not believe that all is yet ended. 62 117 1 V.—THE LATE EARTHQTJAJCFM.—LEOHORN, Avo. 22.—Sines yesterday the shocks of earthquake have completelmi s e& The fears of the inhabitants are gra dually . accounts from all quarters give the number of at seventy, and the number of wounded at one hundred sad eighty.

The Grand has just FALMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING. Arrived here her Majesty's packet Express, Lieut. Herrick, from Rio de Janeiro, July Ist ; Bahia, 13th ; and from Pernambuco, 20th. She brought on freight 20,0001. is gold and diamonds, and had the following passengers : His Excellency Paulo Barham da Silva (Brazilian Minister to the Russian Court), Messrs. Milligan, Alston, Oreenup, Gordon, Fry, De Young and family, Tailor, Steel, Ribero de Silva, Pinto Perot°, and Rugertios ; also four miners. The Express spoke, on August 24, in 'at. 48 14 N., lee. 16 22 W., her Majesty's ship Orestes, from the Mediterranean, bound to England. The whole of the naval squadron was at the river Plate, with the exception of the Crescent, Grecian, Petrel, and Retains, which remained at Rio. The law r brought up a river Plate mail, and awaited the Seagttlis arrival out. Her Imperial Majesty s accouchitment, although hourly looked fcr, had not taken place when this packet eared. Of political or other news none appears to have transpired from the tailing of the America frigate, which vessel sailed from Brazil a week before this packet. Butner continued limited u heretofore as regards imports, which was in part attributable to the holidays, but the primary cause of the prevalent dulness is the fact of the mark' t being super abundantly supplied with also every description of goods. [For the Commercial and Money News, see the 4th page, under the usual headings.] (From aCorrespondent.) The Express, Commander Herrick, arrived at Falmouth on the 31st ult., with dates from Rio de Janeiro to the lit of July; from Bahia to the 13th of July; and from Per aambuco to the 20th of July. For those of her Majesty's subjects owning property in Brazil, she brings alarming servants. On the Bth sf June, a meeting of the British residents was convened at the British consulate in Rio de Janeiro, by the following advertisement:— "tier Britannic Majesty's Consul at this capital hereby gtves nodes that a meeting of the British residents is convened for Monday the nth host, at eleven, A.M., at this Consulate, for the purpose of oom municating to them occurrences which have arisen from • correspon dence between her Majesty's Minister and the Imperial Government, relating to the interference of the Juts dos Orfeos with the property of deceased British subjects. (Signed) " Roams litanrre, IT,B.M.'s ConsuL " British Consulate. Rio de Janeiro, June 6. 1846." The meeting was fully attended, and its object explained by the Consul in a few words, :—To inform the British residents that, by a recent decision of the Imperial Govern , ment, contained in a correspondence with her Majesty's minister there, the British Consul was inhibited from pro tecting, or in any way interfering with property which might be left in Brea by deceased British subjects ; and that all such property, whether the deceased should have left • will, or should have died intestate, would be entirely sub ject to Brazilian law sad authorities ; the property only of French subjects being protected from the law, or from any interference of the Brazilian authorities, by aperpetual treaty made years ago. The greatest anxiety existed amongst the British merchants. Hopes were entertained that a memorial sent to her Ma jesty's government on the subject from thence, at the com mencement of the year, might have met with immediate attention, and thus render the closing of many British com mercial establishments unnecessary. _ . The hostile proceeding on the piit of the imperial govern ment was supposed by many to have been caused entirely by the bill which was passed in the British parliament last year, relating to the slave treaty with Brasil: and the cry was, that the slaves had met with more protection from her Ma jesty's government than her Majesty's loyal subjects residing (or owning property) in that country. ~~ - Pisee I!itunlay u mkt 339 members present.

Detailed accounts were received at Gothenburg from his Majesty's physician, dated Krageholm, August 16, which Lnuounces that the King had the measles, and that the Queen, who would not quit his Majesty's bedroom, was also attacked by that disorder. The bulletin states that the disorder was very mild, and that there was no reason to be under any apprehension. NORWAY.—LIGHTIMUSES ON THE COAST.—The Norwegian marine department has represented the necessity of erecting two new lighthouses on the Swedish coast. Our marine department has represented that as these lighthouses will be chiefly advantageous to the navigator of Norway, that kingdom should bear half the expense (28 or 30,000 dollars) for erecting the lighthouses. But the king consider ing that it is usual for every country to bear the expense of creating and maintaining lighthouses on its own coasts, has decided that the whole expense shall be borne by Sweden. His Majesty has allotted the sum of 98,000 dollars for • marine expedition, for which the Eugenia frigate and the Nordenskold brig are ordered to be got ready for ten months. 1 . 10:11 4.4 . presres — to. gllPPerift d .484111111 hashish eseepirelikt theorise am dollen is b•sfplielio wor i e rn 7a: objoile of tsiptevestiesh On the vseiehret eifeiM many of ets hest eimeetter, it is flit that as arrillaull tai hawse a I committed.* yestedit sea hereefter b meet aeheiwith System of internal imi federal gmeemeat ta all parts of the Ui boa hid elk ht ray judgment, content govemetse the power to construct we Mkt& the States, or to appn L" ' l=y far list purpose.

BRAZILS. AMERICA. THE PRESIDENT'S VETOES. (From the New York Weekly Herald, Aug. 16.) On Monday', at 12 o'clock, the first term of the Twenty-Ninth Congress adjourned, after a session of eight months and eight days, during which a number of very important hills were passed, most of which have become laws of the land ; while others, having been acted upon by both houses, were vetoed by the President, and the object in view defeated. The River and Harbour Bill and the French oliation Bill were laid on the shelf by the prerogative of the executive. The first hill was vetoed upon constitutional grounds, and the latter upon the want of fen,ibility, and in consequence of its establishing a precedent, in the opinion of the President, dangerous to our institutions. The justice of these claims is considered by the President very doubtful, and he quotes Mr. Jefferson as an authority for this opinion. These are the flr4 ob jections; others, such se the inability of the Trea sury to meet the demands already made, or to be made upon it, on account of the war. The last objections are the most powerful, but we think the President will not be sustained in the position he has taken in relation to the justice of these claims. A very large portion of the amount claimed by American citizens for spoliation' committed by the French prior to the 31st of July, 1801, is now in the hands of those who have purchased them of the original holders. Many of thinking MAW It the hands of spec ula tors, who have pur chased the of the needy and poverty-stricken owners; and the bill pried by Congress would have put thousands upon thomma of dollars in the pockets of those parties, where it would ben pot hundreds in the hands of those originally the daimon, or who have inherited the original claims. This, however, des not affect the justice of the claim upon the There is no doubt but that an Improper and C i a=maied bie been selected to satisfy these claims ; bat we inet that at some future time, when the treasury is set Mam narased as it is at present, these claims will re eds that mookisresks they me sodded to.
