Our Correspondent, who has furnished us with information con nected with the promulgation of Christian Knowledge, in Prince Edward's Island. is requested to call at our Office. The unavoidable occupation of our columns, on the high political topics of the day, has compelled us to defer the insertion of other communications — particularly those on Algiers, and on the Country Banks. We ex pect however, to be able to commence our notices of these com munications, and of the periodical literature of the month, to morrow. This day despatches were received at the Foreign Office in Downing-street, from their Excellencies the Right Hon. Lord ST vA ar DE ROTIISA Y, our Ambassa dor at Paris ; and from the Hon. Sir Cli ARLES BAGOT, our Ambassador at Hague. We have received, by express, the Gazette de France of yesterday's date, and other papers and letters from Paris of Tuesday night. We are thus enabled to com municate to our readers, that the elections of the Col leges of the arrondissements had ended : and the anti ministerial party had, in all, obtained one hundred and thirty three deputies, against fifty seven ministerial ones.! , ',come evidently necessary. But, as was likewise hinted ,by Mr. B noun it A It, are they not, in so doing, incurring la similar hazard of disappointment, to that which a para graph above shows, to have resulted to the Royalist French Administration, under almost similar circum stances? and will the Elections actually terminate so ad vantageously to their views as they suppose ? We consider that Viscount GODEILICII spoke more nearly what the interests of the country required last night, than any other individual who addressed the House ; for he stated that " the commerce, finance, and agriculture of the country, all seemed to him in such con fusion, as to render it impossible for Parliament to ad journ ;" and this we consider as the argument which should have been held up as paramount to all others. Important as the question of the Regency undoubtedly is, and no one with common sense can doubt of its great importance, still, any interruption to the public business at the present moment, we consider as much more vitally involving the dearest interests of the country. To postpone relief in some way to the commercial in terests of the country, is really like postponing relief to a pauper exhausted and expiring from hunger. The discussions which have occurred, on the subject of granting to the West India interest, some diminution in the duties on West India produce, strange as the opinion may appear, are, we think, really of more in terest td the nation, than what has occurred on a more high-sounding topic. We are of opinion that the West India interest has no peculiar claims for exclusive pro tection; but we consider that the favour offered to it is really of so metaphysical a description, as not possible to render any other interest jealous.— We have used the term metaphysical ; but perhaps we should class the proposed relief, as belonging more pro perly to the higher branches of mathematical research ; and it really would require much previous instruction in such pursuits, to understand its advantages. A diminu tion in the duties on Sugar, without distinguishing in what part of the world it was grown, is what the interests of British Commerce required ; and what the interests of British consumers of Sugar required ; and this single measure would have effected more for the relief of the British people generally, than any measure which has yet engaged the attention of Parlia ment. We relieve most efficiently—even in the indivi dual charities of common life—when we can give the means of gainful industry to the applicant ; and we maintain, that the only efficient relief which can be af forded to our ruined commercial population, is to give them the means of exerting their energies, by rendering' articles of foreign commerce gainful to those who have their property so employed, and inviting i to those who now keep it in bags ; which it may startle some to hear the declaration—but it is nevertheless true—no article of foreign commerce now is. The relief, to be efficacious to the nation, should be administered to the commer cial community—to the splendid misery of the once proud and boastful British merchant. For through him it will most efficiently pervade the manufacturing, the shipping, and all the other classes of the community. With these views, therefore, we regret the present dissolution of Parliament, which we are sure will not im prove the public situation. We are not desirous of any change of the Administration—nor of any change in the strength of the Administration as now existing; with less strength, they could not remain, and with more it is probable, their good qualities in our oyes, would diminish. As we are, however, to have a new Parlia ment, we hope that electors will not govern their choice merely by what will be called party questions; or what relate exclusively to the comparative influence of parti cular sets of men ; but by those questions which involve more directly the general interests of the nation. CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The debates of last night, both in the House of Lords and Commons, which are of deep interest, occupy the attention of our City politicians this morning. Consols, which left off yesterday at 92{ to 93 for the account, opened at 93, at which price they remain steady at present, with little doing. I In the Foreign Market no transactions have as yet taken place, and the prices are nominal as per yesterday. The Estafette received this morning from Paris, brings the Three per Cents. 80 cents. lower-77 35. This is owing to the elections. Great fears were enter tained there, that some important crisis is near at hand. The last accounts from Zante and Colin state, that preparations were making► for the embarkation of English troops to be sent to Greece, in order to assist the Presi dent in putting down the insurrections which are break ing out in the different provinces of that country. Information from Trieste, 12th June, says, that the disturbances in Albania have alarmed the Austrian Go vernment, who are going to establish an army of obser vation along the limits of the two states, in order to repel the insurgents. Private letters from Lisbon state, that Don Miguel has condemned a great many officers of the line belonging to the regiments stationed in the Alemtejo, to a long banish ment in Africa. These officers were arrested just as they were going to embark for England, and are now condemned as deserters. CITY, HALP.PAST ONE. The Funds have improved since the early part of the morning. Consols which were done at 924 for the account, may at present be quoted 931 4 ; we have no reports or political information to communicate. In the Foreign Market nothing doing, except in Greek Bonds, which have receded about 1 per cent. owing to their coming 2 per cent. lower from Holland. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. '.

No ! Nature in every case asserts her rights; i death is no respecter of persons ; as we came into the world, so must we leave it, reduced to the same com !mon level. Alas I how unenviable is the lot of even the greatest monarch in the world, when his preroga tives cannot purchase even momentary repose ; when the fiat which affects the fortunes of millions can neither quicken nor still the pulse's play. - His Majesty's character is now matter of history, and will be sketched by almost innumerable bands. His reign, though marked by considerable vicissitude, and pregnant ' with events that " shook the nations with fear and won- - der," was, upon the whole, eminently prosperous and hap- • • py. It lasted about ten years and a half, but including the Regency, of which he was the head, be swayed the _ sceptre nearly twenty years. When Wellington gained the battle of Waterloo, George IV. wrote to thank him with his own band ; and when Napoleon came " like .• Themistocles," an exile to our shores, his Majesty was willing to dispense even to him the rites of hospitali ty. Reasons of state, of course, prevailed ; and sin cere and anxious as his Majesty must have been to guarantee the weary destinies of Europe, it was not his fault that a fallen foe was consigned to the keep ing of Sir Hudson Lowe, and chained like Prometheus Vinctus, on the confines "of chaos and old night." In his person and manners, his Majesty was every inch a king--the very beau ideal of a monarch ; and enjoyed the reputation of being the most accomplished gentle man in turope. On all public occasions, nothing could exceed the ease and dignity with which he discharged his important duties, whether in the drawing-room or at the council table, on the throne or at the levee ; affable himself, he spread, as it were, an atmosphere of affability around him, and shone the very pink of England's chi valry. His temper, though sufficiently sensitive, was on the whole placable, and in more than one instance be forgave real or supposed injuries, with a grace that astonished the offending parties. One admirable trait in the character of George IV. well deserves to be prominently noticed—his nice appreciation of his true place in the state, and the respect and deference he uniformly evinced for the laws and the constitution. Properly speaking, a constitutional monarch approaches pretty nearly to a political non-entity. His ministers free him from all responsibility by standing between the throne and the people, and cannot be expected to advocate mea sures they had no share in originating. It is true a King can change his ministers, and elevate any statesman to the Premie;ship he pleases ; but when his choice falls on unpopular men, Parliament immediately asserts its privileges by thwarting their measures, and withholding the supplies. This his late Majesty understood well ; " he knew his bounds, and reigned content within them ; and it is a pity his example has been hitherto thrown away on Charles X. In reposing confidence in Polignac and his coadjutors, his most Christian Majesty ran coun ter to the opinions of nearly the whole French nation; of this ho was reminded by a majority of the Deputies, and yet in despite of such a memorable warning, he, in a saucy speech, suspended the functions of the legislative bodies, and still seems determined, rather than yield, to invoke the horrors of another revolution. What a lease is to a tenant, a constitution is to a people ; it was the praise of King George IV. that he invariably acted on this noble maxim ; it is to the discredit of King Charles, that he wishes to become a law unto him self; and the contrast, though flattering to our national pride, at the same time heightens our regret for the truly excellent monarch we have lost. Such a man as Bonaparte would find little scope for his genius in Britain, unless he previously subverted the constitution—an achievement the schoolmaster has rendered impossible. In one instance, and that a recent one, King George alarmed the tears of a majority of his subjects ; but the crisis was momentous, the danger imminent; the Peers and Commons sanctioned all he did; and the future his torian, in narrating the battles which his fleets and ar mies fought and won, will give him ample credit for the share he had in an Act which, notwithstanding the heart-burnings it created, may be teaued the Magna Charm of religious toleration. TOE MAJORS AND TiIE 1111NORS AGAIN!—Bow. STREET (Tins DAY.)—The second prosecution in the ease of Covent.garden and Drury-lane Theatres, against the proprietor and managers of the Tottenham-street Theatre, came on for hearing to day, hefote the Magistrates at this Office, according to an adjourn. ment on Saturday last, at the instance of the prosecutors. The in terest, if possible, increases as the prosecution proceeds ; and today the Office was again crowded with individuals interested iu the welfare of the theatrical prof:mien. About one o'clock, Mr. Perry, the propriver of the Tottenham. street Theatre, was called ; and having answered to his name, a short discussion arose between Mr. Adolphu., who appeared for the patentees, and Mr. Alley, who was Counsel for Mr. Perry, rela. tive to the postpones', nt of the case, as Mr. Adolphus said his wit. nesses had oot arrived. lloweva these gentlemen made 'ltch ap. penance during the discussion, and the caw proceeded. Mr. Alley—l wish to know, your ‘Vorships, whether all the charges are to be proceeded upon at once ? There are three die. I taint charges for performances, and I maintain that, in fairness, one only ought to be proceeded with at a true. I have only had my brief this morning. and the Counsel for the prosecution has had months to prepare his cha-ges and witnesses. Mr. Adolphus replied, and said, that he would pro. teed with all the charges at once, as he had a right to do, and as was laid down in the King against Swallow.—lt Is, said Mr. Adolphus, every-day practice, and I will so proceed. I have been I taunted about being merciful in certain publications.—l say our 1 proceeding as we do is a merciful proceeding.—.l could have pro ceeded, had I chosen, for thirty violations of the statute. If Mr. Alley had not his brief it is not my fault. Mr. ALLEY-1 shall not put any objections unnecessarily ; but Imyit is cruel to proceed upon all the counts at once. lam sur prised to hear this proceeding called a merciful one. What the newspapers may have said on the subject I know not.—l do not write in them, but I am sure that the honourable gentlemen con nected with the press, and honourable and well-tmaning I think they ought to be called, would not state any thing inten tionally improper. I have myself been spoken of, perhaps some times, more' severely than my vanity led me to think was fair, but I have gcnerall experienced great kindness and courtesy. Sir Richard Rim* with whom Mr. Halls coincided, said that they could not prevent Mr. Adolphus proceeding as he said he in tended doing. They would of course use their discretion as it pro. ceeded. Mr. Adolphus—l shall now go on with my ease. With refer ence to what has passed, I beg tosay that I d id not allude to pub. lications in newspapers. I alluded to the posting-bills of the Tottenbam-street theatre. But I mutt say that the newspaper have never treated me with kindness—l cannot say that they have. But I have never stooped fur their opinion. Public men mast as pect to be spoken of. 1 have been in public life for twenty-two years. I have not, during that period, humbled myself to obtain their good opinion, nor have cared much for their evil word. I have not, however, seen anything in the newspapers reflect. ing upon me in this case. It was to posting-bills that I referred when I spoke before. I say again, too, that our course of pre. ceeding is a merciful one, notwithstanding the taunts and irritating reflections which have gone abroad. lam old enough to remember when two respectable performers, Messre.Ohapmsnieriattie,were pro secuted--(3lr.Alley olsjected,Mr.Adolphuspeoceeded.) I say this re. vival that lam about to state—l say,that I rememberwhen Mr.Bas ulster and Mr. Palmer were mot to prison as rogues and Twister* for opening a theatre, and that the committal of them was just and 4•1 ; but the as is now. altered. After some further remarks, Mr. Adolphus proceeded to say, that Mr. Perry was the proprietor of the house which was licenced, upon his application at the ilessioas, for stage playing—that be paid tales, rates, due. and was therefore liable to be proceeded against. He next adverted to the point of law upon which he wasdefeated last day, and said that apotelman was in waiting to be examined from the Lord ChambalaW'ittidee, woont he proposed to call as Ant witness. The PM WU proceeding when our It.purter left. FALL OF ALGIERS. At twelve o'clock on Monday night it was stated in Paris with great confidence that a telegraphic commu nication had been received, announcing the fall of Al giers before the French army, under command of General Bolt a MONT. Despatches to this effect were immedi ately forwarded to the Ktxo at St. Cloud.—ln the meantime, we learn that the army of reserve is under orders to sail, and all the auxiliaries will be shipped for the coast of Africa on the 9th of the present month. In the progress of the invading forces towards Al giers, they were much harrassed by the Arabs. The first brigade, it is stated, having followed the enemy rather too far, suffered very great loss—more particularly from a species of long guns, mounted on camels, which these singular warriors brought into play. The loss among the French cificers has been particularly severe. The Algerines had erected new batteries all along the roads occupied by the French, and every step was won by keen and constant fighting. The Gazette de France, received at noon this day by eslafette, publishes a private letter from the Camp, dated the 19th ultimo, which speaks of the booty taken in the Turco-Algerine camp as immense —adding, however, that the obstinacy with which the enemy fought was remarkable. After being driven from one position, they immediately took up another; and in every hour there were fresh and fierce conflicts, and un ceasing slaughter. The day on which the French had aiTearetl before Algiers is not yet given; but it is sup posed that the city had fallen on the 22d of last month. Very animated discussions occurred in both Houses of Parliom►ent last night, on the farther consideration of his N J EST Y'S Message—and the speeches of the Duke of NV ELLIN GTON , Earl GREY, Viscount GODERIEn, the Earl of EL DON , and the Marquis of LANSDOWN in the rouse of Peers, and of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord AL .rnotte, Mr. 13WouGitam, and Mr. Huseisson in the House of Commons, cannot fail, at the present juncture, to be perused with peculiar interest. What took place may be considered as developing a little the actual state of parties, or rather the component portions of what have been designated by that term, in the present Parliament : and, we think, it fully confirms the opinion on the subject, which we have been inclined to maintain, that no actual combination had taken place between the heterogeneous portions of our Senate, which are found accidentally actingtogether in opposition to Go vernment. What has been developed in last night's debate will even safely enable us to extend our conclusions, we think, a step further ; and to observe that there appears no incipient coalition—no new amorous flirtation—between the present Government and any of the parties in Par liament. or even any of the influential Members supposed to belong to those parties. The state of the House is is fact as nearly as possible in statu quo. The present Administration, we imagine, as was said by Mr. BROUGHAM, flatters itself, in dissolving the Parliament, that they shall possibly be able to obtain by an election, an increase of their Parliament ary strength; which, as far as it is desirable for them never to be dr . airy ...... 0 ---, , nottgus rianter. ‘orrry, grow zanugua i mum uvula isvys ---,—. -- . 111 never to be thwarted in any of their measures, had be-Incr. from Naples. las conspicuous in the palace as they are in the c a ot .-...u.

NORFOLK, E. M. rLLIGENCB. The opening of the body of the late King, to ascer tain the cause of his death, was performed by command of his present Majesty. The Lord Chamberlain, in consequence of the order, issued summonses to the Ser jeant-Surgeons of the King, Sir Astley Cooper, and Sir Everard Home: the latter gentleman was prevented from attending owing to illness. Mr. Mash, the Comp troller, and Mr. Martin, the principal Clerk of the Lord Chamberlain's office, were present as representatives o the Lord Chamberlain. When the operation was finished, the body was embalmed by Mr. Nuesey, as the Apothecary to the King. Tho remains were then wrap ped twice in cerecloth. The following is the inscription issued from the College of Arms to be engraved on the silver plate, which is soldered on the leaden coffin, and also on the plate which is to be placed on the state coffin : Depositum Sereniulmi Potentissimi et Excellentissimi Monarchs Georgii Quart' Dei Gratis Britanniarum Regis Fidel Defensoris Regis Ilanoverre ac Brunsrici et Luneburg' Duels Obiit rum. Die Junii Anno Domini MDCCCXXX. &tads sus LXVIII. Regnique sat XI. Tho workmen at the King's Palace at Pimlico were taken off their work on Saturday, in consequence of the decease of his Majesty. They resumed work yesterday. The Duke of Leeds gave orders at the Palace yesterday to make preparations for the present King's inspecting the edifice. An opening and communication have been begun, and will soon be completed, from the residence of the King, when Duke of Clarence, in the Palace at St. James's, to the state apartments of the Palace. The passage will lead into the King's bath-room, which leads through the closet and other apartments into the state room. Prince Frederick of Prussia came to town yesterday *ow Kew. The Earl of Aberdeen paid a visit to his Royal Highness at the residence of the Duke of Cumber land, in the King's Palace, St. James's. The noble Earl remained a considerable time with the Prince. The Prussian Minister visited his Royal Highness yesterday. The Duke of Cumberland, it is mentioned, will proceed immediately after the funeral to the Continent to break up his establishment there, and, of course, preparatory to his taking up his permanent residence in England. Prince George has the two favourite ponies which his Majesty used to drive about Windsor Forest, &c. His Majesty William IV. it is said, will continue his residence at Bushy for some time, preferring that and Kew to the half-finished residence of Windsor Castle ; even the celebrated terrace, on which George 111. and the public used to walk, is, and long has been, partially stopped against the public. A Deputation, headed by Lord Bexley and Sir R Inglis, had a conference with the Duke of Wellington yesterday at the Treasury. The name of Adelaide is not new in the list of Qaeens of England. The second wife of Henry I. was Adelaide, a Princess of Louvain. The mother of King Stephen, daughter of William the Conqueror, was Adele, which is, in fact, the same name. Sir F. Burdett has been for some time suffering from a rather sharp attack of gout ; he was, however, yesterday and the day before, enabled to ride out in the parks, with his right arm in a sling. He was attended, which is un usual with the hon. baronet, by a groom. It is said, that Tuesday afternoon, the Marquis of Co nyngham (who, in his capacity of Lord Steward of his late Majesty's Household, is still lingering in the Castle) — heard an unusual noise in the chamber heretofore occu pied by his lady, the Marchioness, as her especial dor mitory ;—which chamber is in the same tower and on the same floor with the Royal chamber. Hearing this unusual noise, the Marquis proceeded thither, and found the access to it much impeded by the carpets which had previously covered its floor. However, the Noble Marquis made his way over these obstruc tions, and entered the chamber, where he found, some five or six strange men without their coats, busily at work with their hammers and ripping chissels, denuding the chamber of its draperies, &c. &c. Of these strange men the Noble Marquis instantly demanded —" Hey!—what's all this about?" To which demand the strange men replied, "We are taking down her Ladyship's bed, my Lord, and putting up the Queen's." And thereupon the Noble Marquis retraced his way over the piles of removed c .rpets and other lumber at the door, without stopping to enquire by " whose authority" they had presumed to do this. That authority, it is added, was no less a person than his Grace of Montrose, Lord Chamberlain to the late King, and also to his pre sent Majesty, King William.—Herold. In commenting on the death of the King, the Dum fries Courier says :—" Death has been busy in our high places, and the most exalted in the land has fallen.— George IV. breathed his last early on the morning of Saturday, the 26th, now sleeps with his fathers, and is with the kings who were. From many circumstances, and from none more than the nature of his disease, his case was considered hopeless nearly from the first, by those who had access to the royal presence; and though the most emi nent physicians were in attendance, relieved one another by turns, and nursed, where others merely prescribe, the whole resources of the healing art were lavished on the august sufferer in vain. In all probability, an ordinary patient similarly affected, would have sunk into the grave weeks ago ; but under all the circumstances of anxiety, solitude, restlessness, sleeplessness, languor, and pain, this reflection presents so little that is consoling, that it seems almost the part of humanity to regret that his Majesty's sufferings were so long protracted. Skilful as were the hands that unweariedly sought to assuage his pangs and smooth his pillow, even opiates yielded little relief ; the trappings of state could not conceal the pro gress of mortality ; from the commencement of the struggle, the sad accompaniments of a sick-bed were • conspicuous in the palace • they - in the cot- .1..- • A
