The cause of this dt• t,hai is owing hos the great quantify of Stuck that was turned :o the Mat km by the Israelitl,h tribe, which amonntsd to nut •s than t! rts twllluns ! a was followed by many of the .p..c , llarers; and during the most of the day, the 'Change 6'5 ah stllen. The Hankers, aml monied men genitally, made a ,! . .sh yest,rd.y Enclequs r Bulk, and they rose front sto 17 irar4 '11:e CrANreLloa of the Emittfourn, if we rightly understood Hat List night, intimated that he had not wade up oil the question of the unrestrained exportation of c: tton yarn. That is, he thinks the question should be examined. The weavers may row promise themselves at least a fair heating. It is a question Of great imp:4l4ll*w ; we have examined its bearings with great attention, and we are decidedly of opinion that a prohibition of, or :t high duty on the exportatinh of cotton yarns, would not only in stantly revive our manpfactures; but ultimately bene fit the spinners. It is evident that while we supply t'e Continent with yarns, that is with what to them a raw =ski-12, the sale of our piece vood: must daily In answer, it is that matters would only be niade worse by the prohibition ; for the French, Ind iit;ier would-be rivals, will, in that case, spin their own Yarn from the raw Cotton. But the reply to will be furnivhNi by every person who has visited the Continent, And more particularly bf those who are engaged in manufactories; by travellers, in short, f.l all descriprions, we have been uniformly given to understand, that in the article of machinery, our neighbriurs . on the Continent are fifty years behind n•. N..w, the superiority we decidedly enjoy in this ripest, and more paticirlarly in the manufacture of varns for weav:ng, would enal4e us, wording to ::en accounts, to undersell them for, at least, fifty ;ears to come. They ate deac,ri'aed as having abun dance of lOcims for weaving, of a d.cent construc tion ; hut in the couiplicated and expensive means of producing yarn from the raw material, they are ahclly derci nt. They have not, in fact, the capital requisite for the numerous establishments which ivuuld be requited for the supply of their looms.- -Such area few of the arguments used in support of prohibitory Laws. It has been said by its oPPo" neut 4, that the French_ People would immediately give up using British muslin: and calicueS. We could suppose this of almost any other nation ; but the eagerness with which they buy a piece of British muslin in preference to one of their own manufacture, and tite acuteness with which a French female traces its pedigree from Glasgow or Manchester by the laud, alone, appreciating it accordingly,convinc' es us Lai a consummation which the Anti-English f..ciioli will never witness. 'ln this branch of trade ipprehend we are as strong as Giants; but our arc either ignorant of our.strength or afraid to use it. la one word, by supplying the Ccntinent with Cot ra Yarns, you are giving them the profits which otherwise would come to your own weavers. ,Proilts this year become Capital the next—that is, you are rov supplying your rivals with the means of creating a Capital, to enable them eventually to endeavour to t;v.il you in your S e inning•Machinery ! If they could row spin a sufficient quantity of Yarn, they would buy fore of yours soon as they shall be able to tnply themselves, they will prohibit your Yarn:, as they now do your Piece-Gooch. Withhold your Yarns, 2;.d you will destroy even their peseta Spinning I ..tablishments ; fur without your fine l'ea;iis for -.7trps, they will not be able to work up their own rus, which are only fit for acilis. The Report on the Poor Laws was also brought i3 P, but it will not be acted upon this Session. Indeed nought not, The subject is very intricate, and will require r.ruch deliberation. We fear that some of cur p3litical economists mistake even the first princi ples et science. Without establishing soch a puce labour as will maintain the laboerer, you can do r - itlinig. Yon had better even have no trade, than a tt4ile that gives thi value of half of the price of the to the foreign consumer I Open your eyes •ook at the plain' result of every such .sys ien4 Nor does this apply only to mechanics; irges equally to agricultural labour. Put an end in the payment bi any fiatt or a Workman's wAges by the ilwr Ratm Cease thus to defraud and rob your neighbours—cheating yourselves at the same time by your absurd and iniquitous system. As a'specimen of the delusions practised upon the poiiiie on the Continent, to excite antipathy against Britain and British Manufactures, we have inserted in our columns this day an article from a Get wAn Paper, announcing a Loom*, in which the prises are to be manufactared goods—which may be afterwards ,old at the Leipzig fair at such prices as most ruin a:: the G:rman weavers!! ! Some of the primes are as high as 1e200,000 1 The object of this lie appears on the face of the statement—" a total prohib►tion of the importation Of English goods."

The Spanish Minister of War, the :Marquis of enatrosatottano, has been superseded in his ollice by 'Lieutenant•General Emma. The latter, it miy be recollected, was in the charge of this department at the time of FERDIAND'iI return to Madrid, in I I 1., and acted a very conspicuous part in the arrest of the leading Members of the Cortes. Not long alter, he retired from the Ministry, and was named C iptain. General of Old Castile, in which capacity he had the singular fortune of having the celebrated BALLas reitos, one of his successors in the same Ministry, placed under his surveillance. It is thought that M. GARAY will lose at least one vote in the Council by this change. A Steam-boat, the first which has been constructed in Spain, was bunched at Seville on the 30th of May, and named the Royal Ferdinand.

The five state apartments were pro digiously splendid, in all their appointments, particu larly the boudoir, and the cabinet-room. The whole were illuminated in the most brilliant style. The !tr otter came at an early hour, and staid until halt past two o'clock. The Duke of WELLISCiToN saw alno.st all the company out. His Grace took lease, first ex pressing his intention to quit London this morning, on his retain to Paris. • A very numerous and respectable Me:ling of tl.e Proprietors of the Atlas Fire and Life Assurance Gimp my. being the Annual General Court, was held on Wednesday last, at the London Tavern.

The Special Juries nomina- ' ted on the informations against him are stated to have' been waived. serious accident happened in St. James's Park, near the Horse Guards on Thursday, between two and three o'clock. A groom, who was holding his master's horse as well as his own, was prevailed on by a young lad to let him strsunt the unoccupied saddle s he, however, had scarcely mounted before the horse took fright. The boy was unable to manage the creature, which galloped.off at full speed, and tn, a few seconds he fell over the horse's head. The hone in galloping away appeared to kick him. The poor youth lay.suotionless, and giving no other symp toms of life except by occasionally rolling his eyes, from exquisite pain. Mr. GOVLBURN, the Under Secretary of State in Lord Baratuttsr's department, saw the accident from one of the windows of the Horse Guards, and hastened f to the spot. With prompt humanity, he immediately gave orders for procuring a shutter. which was instantly brought, and Mr. Goutnuati, with great anxiety and feeling, ac companied the boy to Westminster Hospital, and waited till the burgeons prootmoted the case nut to bu mortal. -1 C.'

DESTRUCTION OF THE REGENT MARGATE STEAM PACKE (SARTHER raturicusaas.) The Regent steam packet sailed from London at .eight o'clock in the morning of Wednesday last, with a crew of ten men, and about forty passengers, men, women, and children, for Margate. The voyage Was extremely quick and 'avowable. till about lour in the afternoon, when, having cleared the point of the isle of Sheppy. and with a view of the destined port in the distance, a smoke was observed to issue from the wooden casing on the deck surrounding the lower part of the chimney of the steam-engine, to which the application of watts was thought neces sary; but there being only two buckets on board, the attempt to stifle the tire was fruitless, and the smoke and heat increasing in the engine-linuse, the Captain shortly after ordered all hands upon deck, and direc ted 411 the apertures communicating with the interior of the vessel to be closed, in order to prevent as much as possible the circulation of al:. The danger now became dreadfully art.:treat, and it was determined, as the most probable chance of preserving the lives of the passengers and crew. to hoist a signal of &s -tress, and to direct the course of the vessel towards Whitstable, from which place, at the time the acci. dent was first discovered. the vessel was about eight miles distant, and the steam-engine still acting from the external beat surrounding the boiler, was a cir cumstance which fortunately favoured the object.— At this moment, however, (says our informant, one of those on board) it was imposcble to describe die terror and agitation of the passengers, arning whom were fathers, mothers, children, and friends, one la milt' in particular, consisting of the patents, seven children, and two servants, yet for the space of up wards of au hour did they remain in this horrible state, the tire raging in the interior of the vessel beneatl:, and being only kept from penetrating through the deck by the constant application of water, till the vessel grounded on the sand at Whitstable, when three boats from that place which had overshot them arrived to their assistance, and sately took on board all the passengers and crew ; and here, as it the hand of PROViDeNet was hatcher manifested in their pre 'creation. in less than three minutes afterward", the deck over the engine and tore-cabin fell in.— Every accommodation was afforded by the inhabitants of Whitstable to the hapless passengers, many of whom have lost the whole tat their chokes, others a part, and few have escaped without wane loss, al though much luggage has been saved. The vessel continued to burn till late at night, and presented a sight awfully grand. every part being ultimately consumed except the keel and engine, which on the ebbing of the tide were found buried in the sand.—. The Regent was a line vessel of its kind, and-la said to hare cost lam) in its construction rand it is proper to add, that the accident arose not from any detect in the engine, but from the timber of the deck not being sufficiently protected hum the !met of the chimney. &dirk z: TUr.
