EIPMIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The first. Parliament of the reign of Queen Victoria opened yesterday, and the Right Hon—Tamest Aber cromby was re-appointed Speaker of the House of Commons, not only without opposition, but with the uitarsimous approbation of the whole assembly. The fuse was very full, and the Tories mustered in great rnumbets, but, as Sir Robert Peel admitted, even had he wished to resist the nomination by the Queen's Ministers, he could not have hoped to succeed—there must have been a maority against him. So much for the paltry and peevish attempt of the Times, a day or two ago, to set up some rival for the honours of the chair. "If indeed,'' said or worthy and respected contemnerary, " the Conservatives should be disposed to giae battle at the earliest moment, they cannot avant a pretext for it upon the c hoice of a Speaker." They were not " disposed to grive battle" yesterday ; they knew better. Sit Robert Peel was a more cau tions, and experienced tactician than thus to run his head against a wall, notwithstanding the Times would fain have persuaded him that there was a soft place in it. The " pretext" pointed out by the nines was the wonderful discovery—mark it well, for it should never be forgotten—that on one occasion, and that not spe cified, the Right Hon. James Ahercromby had read " and" for "or" This fact was to disqualify him for again serving an office so dignified and so responsible. With such a substantial ground for objection—such an cahibition of total unfitness—we are astonished that the Tories refrained from proposing an amendment to the motion ; and we can feel for the chagrin and dis appointment of the Times that its advice was rejected, and rejected, too, without the slightest notice or ac knowledgment. This shows that our very consistent and much-admired contemporary is vastly in the se crets and confidence of the Tories : it threatens opposition ; it affords a " pretext ;" it writes a long article to prove that the Right Hon. James Aber cromby ought not to be re-elected to the Presidency of the House of Commons, because he once read " and" for " or," and vet not one of the whole Tory party will give the Times the countenance of uttering a word of objection to him. On the contrary, Sir Robert Peel joins in the general expression of the • House, that no fitter Member could be pointed out. This must indeed have been highly flattering and sa tisfactory to the Times. It has abandoned the straight course of virtue and honour ; it has prostituted itself to the party, and, according to the usual course of things, when it most wants their aid, they turn their backs upon it, and deny all previous acquaintance. They puff the prostitute away." Not even Peter Borthwick, nor Benjamin D'lsraeli (both bound in gratitude) came to its assistance. We may now—as in the opening of the Session of 1835—judge of the future progress from the happy commencement. Sir Robert Peel was in power, and could carry the Speakership. He soon yielded to the majority against him, and re tired front office. He is now out of power—as the Whip were, when they first triumphantly placed Mr. Whigs in the Chair, and yet, if he would, Sir Robert Peel dares not offer any resistance to the re-appointment of the Right lion. Gentleman. This certainly looks like amazing strength on the part of the Tories. The state of things at this moment differs so far from that in 1835, that the Tories then had possession of the Treasury, hut could not name their Speaker ; while the Whigs now have possession of the Treasury, and nemine dissentiente they reinstate their Speaker. The conclusion is, of course, inevi table : the Whigs must instantly make way for the Tories, because, forsooth, the Tories are so prodigi ously strong, that, on a question which three years ago in effect turned them out of office, they do not now make even a show of resistance. What an excess of forbearance ! There was nothing farther worthy of remark in the proceeding of yesterday, excepting the testimony which not only the mover and seconder of Mr. Abererom`.)y's nomination, Mr. Shaw Lefevre and Mr. Strut t, but Sir R. Peel, and the whole House by its cheers, bore to the ability, impel tiality, and diligence with which the Right Hon. Gentleman had hitherto discharged the onorous and delicate duties of his situation. It was agreed on all hands that some immediate and im portant change must take place in the manner of dis posing of private business, which had of late fears so much accumulated ; and Sir Robert Peel bore willing testimony to the high and peculiar qualifications of Mr. Ahercromby for giving assistance in making any new arrangement on the subject. The Right Hon. Gen tleman both on the floor, and after he had been for mally replaced in the chair, very feelingly and grace fully expressed his acknowledgments for the honour thus a second time conferred upon him, and while he intreated the indulgence, he solicited the support of the House in the discharge of his arduous and difficult task, without which support his own individual efforts could, he said, be of little avail in the preservation of order, and in securing the regularity of debate. All that was said and done must have been highly grati fying to the Right Hon. Gentleman who. was the sole subject of discussion.—Morning Chronicle. Mr. Daniel O'Connell once more insults the people of England, and pollutes her soil, by his presence here. He has been making a speech after a one-and sixocnnv dinner at Stockport to a congregation of mi serable gudgeons, whom he crammed with more than the usual dose of whining hypocrisy and flagitious falsehood. The 700 years of bloody misgovernment by English savages over civilized and enlightened Mi lesians was put, of course, in front of the oattle ; then the terrible calamity was insisted on of ever again hav ing Tory Ministers in office, which would send the patronage of Ireland into different hands from those who for these two or three years past have been gorging the enemy of the British Crown with power, place, and nationa; plunder. Next, this liar has the impudence to assure the people of Stockport, that they (English as they are) and the Popish agitators in Ireland " have a common cause"—not that we should think of a re peal of the Union. He proceeds to exclaim " against the fell spirit of religious bigotry !" He, the priests' journeyman and jackal!, O'Connell, harangues upon " religious bigotry," and on the necessity of making " the pulpit the vehicle of peace, benevolence, and mutual affection !" " Know ye not," asks this transcendent impostor, " that the pulpit has become the instrument of a political party, thus staining the service of God by the profaneness of man—staining with the worst passions the place where the brightest virtues ought to be found ?" Amazing juggler Yes, we all know by whom the pulpit has been desecrated and the altar defiled for the promotion of lawless tu mult—of villainous persecution—of brutal tyranny— of un-Christian intolerance, violence, and bloodshed. We know it all. The records of every mass-house in Ireland—of every election—of every Tithe Court—of every gaol—demonstrate sufficiently who are the au thors of such unholy abominations—who the actors in them—who their victims ; and, with the blessing of God, we shall, before many months expire, have the ' means of satisfying the world that justice is not wholly banished out of it ; but that, degenerate as are the days we live in, vengeance yet follows crime. The Ambassador of Irish treason 1; ( *s on if ',ell about - the wonderful hardship of refusing t Ireland the same Muniri-pal Institutions as exist . 11 Great Britain. The plain answer, if an ar.-_,wer he wanting is, that the " same munieipal institutions" could not, by the wit of man, be created in Ireland and here. The mere em ployment of ;:ne same names will not assimilate things which are essentially 11 En a atishman with A clause constituting an - I q ' ti c a . lification a burgess, and a si. - Irishman a bu a rgess . also will not make the same description of burgess in the two countries ; for the English burgess will be a self-dependent civilized, and loyal subject to the Crown of England, while the Irish burgess ivdl 'ue a credulou s , blind, and abject vassal of a 4wless power paying allegiance to a foreign domina tion, disaffected to the British Government, and enaaaed in a perennial plot to subvert the established laws of the realm, and the settlement and security of Church bud State, Let Mr. Daniel O'Connell therefore bellow as best pleases him about justice to Ireland re quiring the same municipal provisions, the broad, pal pable fact, must strike all intelligent beings—namely, that to constitute similarity, and still more, identity of legislatior, , it is necessary that there should be ana logous materials wherewith to build, and parallel results from their operation. If then in England the municipal material consist of men actuated by common sym pathies, and steady affections towards the State, while TILE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA.Y, NOVEMBER 16, 1537. TIM UNITED SI'ATES. LOSS OF THE STEAM-PACKET " HOME" AND FROM EIGHTY TO NINETY LIVES. From the New York Journal of ammerce, received to the `..:7s ult.) A very deep sensation was produced in the city yester day, Oct. 18, by the receipt of intelligence that the new steam-packet Hone, which left this port on Saturday the 7d irst. for Charleston, was lost on Monday evening fol lowing, near Ocracoke, N.C., with most of the persons on board. The particulars were soon obtained from Messrs. Rowland and Holmes, survivors from the u reek, who had just reached the city, and from the Philadelphia papers and liimore Express slips, which arrived by the same con vcyance. All the afternoon and evening the bulletins were uov:ded readers, many of whom were seeking to as certain the fate oF relatives and friends. The annexed letter from the captain of the Home to her owner, which has been furnished us for publication, gives a brief statement of Ce disaster and its melancholy consequences. Out of about 150 persons on board, including 45 belonging to the boat, it appears that not above 40 have escaped : " Ocracoke, N.C. " Mr. James P. Allaire, New York. " Dear Sir—l have now the painful duty of informing you of the total loss of the steam-packet Home, and the lives of most of the passengers and crew. " The following passengers are saved :—Mr. H. Van derzee, New York ; Capt. John Salter, and Capt. Alfred Hill, Portsmouth, N. H. ; J. S. Cohen, Columbia, S. C. ; Andrew A. Lovegreen, Charles Drayton, B. B. Hussey, Thomas S. Smith, Mrs. Lacoste, and Mrs. Schroeder, Charleston ; C. C. Cady, Montgomery, Ala ; J. D. Ro land, New York ; James Johnson, jun., Boston ; John Bishop, New York ; Darius Clock, Athens, Georgia ; William S. Read, New Haven, Connecticut ; Jabez Holmes, John Mather, and Hiram Anderson, New York ; Co e .1 Quin, Jersey City. " Twenty passengers saved is all we can find. The fol lowing persons of the crew were saved : " Firemen—Levi Miller, Stamford, Connecticut ; Wil liam Bloom, Thomas Smith, and Timothy Stone, New York. Deck Hands—Michael Burns ; James Duffee ; John Trust ; James Jackson ; Samuel —; Calvin Marvin, boy, New York ; David Milne, steward, and six waiters (names not given), making 18 belonging' to the boat. Twenty passengers, nineteen hands, one captain— Forty souls saved. " There can be very little saved from the wreck. We had a heavy gale of wind after leaving New York, from N.E. The boat sprung a leak a little to the northward of Hatteras ; at first we were able to pump the water out as fist as it came in, but the leak soon increased, so that it gained very fast on us. We scuttled fife cabin-floor, and all hands, passengers, gentlemen, and ladies commenced baling with buckets, kettles, &c., but the water soon came up to the furnaces, and put the fires out, and we were obliged to run under sails only. By the time we came to the shore the water was over the cabin-floors ; we ran her head on, but, owing to her having so much water in, she stopped in the outward breakers: The first sea that came after she struck stove the weather quarter-boat, and all the houses on the deck were stove in ; and twenty-five minutes after she struck she was all to pieces, and 1 suppose about eighty souls were drowned. Both mates, all three of the engineers, and James B. Allaire are lost. Most of the passengers saved have lost nearly all their baggage. I have lost everything ; have nothing but one pair of pantaloons, and a shirt that I had on when I was washed ashore.—ln haste, yours respectfully, (Signed) " CARLETON WHITE." The names of the passengers in the Home, as published about the time of her departure, are as follow : Messrs. C. C. Cady, J. Root, Tileston, J. Johnson, Jr. T. Smith, J. M. Roll, T. Anderson, James Cokes, Vanderzee, J. D. Rolands, W. S. Read, Captain Hill, Kennedy, C. Drayton, Walker, Fuller, Cohen, Benedict, M. Cohen, A: Lovegreen, J. Holmes, J. Boyd, G. H. Palmer, H. C. Bangs, W. Whiting, Rev. J. Cowles, B. B. Hussey and lady, C. Willeman, H. B. Croom and lady, Miss Croom, H. Ander son, Wiley, Weld, 0. H. Prince, Clock, J. Paine, A. F. Bostwick, Miss Levy, Miss M. Levy, Mrs. Camock, Mrs. Whiting, Mrs. Hill, Miss Stow, Miss Robert, Mrs. Prince, Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Faugh, Mrs. Flynn and two daughters, Mrs. Miller, Miss M. Croom, Mrs. Levy, Mrs. Schroeder, Mrs. Bondo, Mrs.. Riviere, Mrs. Lacoste, Mr. Desabye, lady and servant, Mr. A. Desabye, F. Desabye, Captain Saltus, Professor Nott and Lady, Master Groom, C. Quin, Mr. Smith, Larocque, Brocquet, lady, child and servant, P. Domingues, Labadie, Walton, Hazard, Caruthers, and Finn. Total 81, including 26 females, besides servants ; only two of whom, Mrs. Lacoste and Mrs. Schroeder, arc saved. It is understood that a few persons went on board just as the boat was getting off, whose names are not included in the list ; so that the whole number of passengers, including servants, must have been from 8.5 to 90. The number of persons belonging to the boat, we understand, was 45. Probably some whole families perished. We observe five parsons by the name of Groom, three by the name of Levy, four by the name of Desabye, three by the name of Brocquet, three by•the name of Flynn, &c. Professor Nott, who is among the victims of this catas trophe, was a son of President Nott, of Union-college ; and at the time of his death held the office of Professor in the College at Columbia, S. C. We learn that the Home was insured for 40,000 dollars ; which is doubtless much less than her cost. She had no cargo on board, except one box-of specie. Her length, we understand, was 220 or 230 feet. Boats of so great length must be very strong, to endure such tremendous seas as are often met with in the vicinity of Cape Hatteras. The Home, we are told on good authority, was observed to be " sprung" while lying at the wharf in this city. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. (From the Baltimore American.) We have conversed with Messrs. Rowland and Holmes, the two passengers on board the Home, who reached this city on their return to New York to replace their lost pprF, &c. They state that the Home made rapid pro gress er stse left New York, and had proceeded as far as to the southward of Cape Hatteras, when the wind, el i ;ch bad blown very freshly all Monday morning, Vie 9th instset, ircrea.ed to a gale about two o'clock, Ism., and caused the boat to labour very much. It was soon very generally manifest that her frame was not strong enough to withstand the violence of the sea, and we learn that she raised in the bow and stern at least three feet from her proper line. It is supposed that she leaked freely, for she soon settled so deep in the water as to ren der her wheels entirely useless, and her sails were then raised to run her on shore. About seven or eight o'clock, tem , the water had quenched the fire under the boilers, and she continued nearing the land by means of her sails until half-past ten o'clock at night, when she struck the shore near Ocracoke, and immediately went to pieces. The passengers were now in the greatest confusion and alarm ; some leaped overboard and were drowned in at tempting to swim to land, while others possessed themselves of pieces of timber and floated ashore, nearly exhausted wi:h cold and fatigue. One of the gentlemen above men tioned informs us that he remained quietly on the forecastle, and flo l'ed ashore on it after the boat went to pieces. Mrs. Schroeder, one of the two ladies who were saved, lashed he.sslf to one of the timbers, and reached the shore in safety. Mrs. Lacoste, although a very feeble old lady, aged about seventy years, was safely dragged out of the surf ; she is supposed to have been buoyed up by a settee. One of the passengers had on a life preserver, and got safely to land by its aid. The boat was entirely broken into fragments, and the few trunks which were washed on the beach next day were more or less injured, Messrs. Rowland and Holmes remained at Ocracoke tleo days be fore they could get a conveyance to Norfolk. They state that about twenty bodies had been washed ashore, and were buried before they left the beach ; among them the bodies of two or three of the ladies. The list furnished above, we ara sorry to add, is believed to contain the names of all who were preserved from this most distressing disaster. We learn from Mr. Holmes, the gentleman alluded to by the Baltimore American, that the bodies, about 20 in number, which washed ashore before he left, received every proper attention from some of the inhabitants of Ocracoke, particularly Messrs. Howard and Littlejohn, by whom they were provided with grave-clothes, and decently interred. The individual who was saved by means of a life-pre server was no swimmer, and would in all probability have perished but for this simple and cheap precaution. RIO DE JANEIRO, AUG. 23.—The President of Atagoas having applied for a man-of-war to be stationed in the port of Jaguara to prevent the contraband trade in Brazil wood, and the defrauding of the national duties, the Regent has ordered a schooner to be fitted out for that purpose. A despatch from the Minister of the Interior to the President of the province of Bahia, informs him that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, by a note of the 27th of last month, stated that not only the British Minister at this Court assured him that he would give orders for the punctual fulfilment of the existing stipulations between the Imperial Government and that of Great Britain, in conse quence of the proceedings at the Consulate at Bahia, re lative to the mail brought to that place by the English packet the Star, but also that he had addressed a fresh note to the same British Minister, insisting on indemnity for the injury which had been done to the public treasury. On Monday morning last, as the steam-vessel Freedom, of Stockton, was towing two vessels out of the river Tees, the boiler burst, and the vessel was blown up and sunk immediately. There were three men on b oar d ; two of them were much injured, but are likely to recover ; but the master, John White, was blown up with the vessel, and his body has not yet been found.—Sunderland Herald. RUSSIA. We quote from the Cormier Franom some details re• lative to the recent excursion of the Emperor Nicholas into the Gillea3l.lS, and the real state of the war in that country, which reduces to their just value the statements published in Germany and France on this subject. The Emperor, on quitting E‘iiiiplittropnlis, in the Crimea ! visited Kertch and and the Peninsula of Taman, then Anapa, the most inipor taut place in these cantons,, and Saudjouk Kale, a mari time position in some sort annexed to Anapa. He proceeded thence to Ekaterinoslav, the chief town of the Cossacks of the Black Sea, where their pulks had been assembled by Genc..al Zajinski. The Czar after wards advanced towards the North-East, on the. right bank of the Cuban, as far as the two brigades put in movement on that side could afford him their protec- t:on. He, however, (lid not push his excursions be yond the plains which flan a sort of neutral ground te tween the two belligerent parties, and on the points inces santly invaded by the Tcherkeses, whom the Cassacks sel dom attack. It is also improbable that he should have re ceived deputations and submissions from those people, as the emissaries sent into the Kahardas were unable to penetrate amongst them, though furnished with a pass as flags of truce, and were sent back to Anapa without any answer. It was at first believed that the Emperor would proceed into Georgia, and some officers had been sent to Gouricl and Batoun to examine into the expediency of taking the road of Imiret in preference to that of the ex-Pashalik of Akhalzik, but it appears that the idea has been abandoned, and that after proceeding from the Steppes of Bulehei to Asof, the Czar will inspect on the spot the works of the Junction of the Don to the Volga, and will return by Voranci and Toulee to Moscow, where the Empress ex pects to meet him before the end of November. All the Rus sians count upon Gcn. Yermoloff to re-crstablish the affairs of the army of the Caucasus and to resume the offensive ; hut the ,difficulties are immense in a military point of view, and the expenses by no means trifling in the pre- i sent state of the finances of the empire. In a moral point of view the difficulties are not less, considering the complete antipathy that on every possible point of contact exists be tween the Circassian mountaineers and the Russians, who will not succeed in rendering the former tributary, like the Kalmucks and the Baschirs of the plains. One of the ablest Generals of the Emperor Nicholas has declared to him that it would require at least 100,000 men to take possession of the Caucasus, and this assertion is said to be one of the causes of that officer's disgrace. The operations of the blockade on the side of Abasia have produced but slight results ; in the first place, because the inhabitants of that district rely only upon their own resources, and derive their force neither from their trade nor their manufactures; in the next place, because the unfavourable state of the weather will not allow the Russians to be always at their post. Thus last October several vessels from the Turkish coast entered the ports of Soubachir and Kodoch. in Ireland it embiaces a numerical majority of men go verned by impulses inveterately hostile to the State, it is sheer buffoonery to class such dissimilar bodies under a single name, or to demand, as a tribute to political" justice," that both should receive at the hands of the Legislature a strictly identical treatment. There is hut one feasible method by which, in prac tice, we can arrive at a sound measure of municipal establishment in Ireland—viz., to pitch the qualifica tion so high that the burgesses will be under a compa ratively slight control from the intimidating or fraudu lent practices of the priesthood, and the united mo narchy, and the legitimate relations of its parts, have some fair chance of protection and support from the mu nicipal functionaries created under it. But of such a safeguard to the constitutional monarchy of Great Britain Mr. Daniel O'Connell delights not to dream. His re forms contemplate no " union" between the component parts of the Monarchy. His reforms contemplate no willing obedience to the laws—nor healthy, natural, tranquillity among the people—nor solid redress of real grievances--nor improvement of domestic morals— nor supply of physical wants to the destitute—no, nor any description of change which, by ministering to the comforts and to the good humour or contentment of the people, would render them less accessible than he has hitherto found them to the sinister workings of those machinations by which he has contrived to lift himself upon the shoulders of his ignorant and ragged countrymen, leaving them more depressed and wretched than before. We shall from day to day, as opportunity offers, during the Session now begun, exhibit this mischievous and envenomed impostor in his true co lours to the English nation, who shall be no longer, if we can help it, the dupes or sacrifices to one man's baseness.—Times. It will be seen that the Conservative champions of abuses in Church and State, in the Municipal Coun cil of Liverpool, have been making a violent effort to choke up the newly opened currents of popular educa tion. The party have profited by the ignorance of the people ; and they naturally fear that the diffusion of knowledge will liberate mankind from the thraldom of their mischievous predominance. " They hate the light because their deeds are dark." All the birds of darkness were in a state of commotion on perceiving that the light of popular instruction was breaking in upon them; and they have bestirred themselves to block up the channels of its cheering introduction. However, the friends of light and popular education were too strong for the lovers of darkness. The contest arose out of an amendment which the Tory faction proposed for selling the new Liverpool National Schools, formed on the Irish model ; but they were beaten on a division by the Liberals, and by a considerable majority. The ground which they took up in proposing the above amendment, discovered at once their hypocrisy, their chicanery, and their fears. They raised the old cry of " Church in danger,"and affirmed that none but garbled extracts from the Scriptures were permitted to be taught in the Liverpool National Schools. The charge was utteidy false. The party must have known it to be so. It could be nothing but a mere stalking-horse, for the purpose of gratifying their selfish aversion to the diffusion of popular information and popular improve ment. Th© system adopted at the Liverpool schools was precisely the system which has been adopted with the hest effect in Ireland; and for the original sugges tion and development of which we are chiefly in debted to the sagacious philanthropy of Mr. Wyse. No garbled copy of the Bible is imparted to the Pro testant scholars of the Establishment. They read the Bible in its integral state, as in all other Pro testant Establishments. The conscientious scruples of the Dissenter and the Catholic are equally con sulted in allowing the Holy Scriptures to be imparted to them according to the forms of their religious creeds. The accusation was founded upon falsehood, and, like all such objections, has been overcome by the superior prevalence of truth. Why should any difference be made between the system adopted in Ireland and that adopted in England ? Exclusive ness is the key to the whole of this defeated juggle ? It was to support its exclusive privileges of religious monopoly that the motion was patronized by the High Church party. The object is as cruel as it is insidious. The old system of persecution by torture may be de tected beneath the smooth surface of its hypocritical pretences. The Irish Catholic parent is to be driven to this alternative—either to betray his conscience by sending his child to a school where a hostile system of religion is taught, or else to deny him the blessings of education altogether. Why is the Irish Catholic to be kept in darkness ? Is not true religion benefited by knowledge ? But by the Conservatives generally the motion was favoured for obvious reasons. Its ten dency was to " put out the light," and defeat the purposes of that general system of education which will sink deepest the foundations of true reform, by rendering the people worthy and capable of sustaining a wider and purer extension of popular freedom. A general system of well-digested popular education would, as the Tories well know, render impossible any chance of our recurrence to the past ages of Tory abuse, venality, extravagance, and misgovernment.— Morning Advertiser. The two Houses of Parliament met yesterday to commence the preliminary business of the Session, pre paratory to its formal opening by the Queen's Speech on Monday. In the House of Lords the Lords' Commissioners having summoned the Commons to attend, directed them to proceed to the election of a Speaker, in order that the object of their choice might be presented for her Majesty's Royal approbation this day. The remainder of the sitting was occupied with administering the oaths to such Peers as attended. In the Commons Mt. Shaw Lefevre moved that Mr. Abercromby should take the Chair as Speaker of that House. The Honourable Gentleman prefaced his motion by a speech, in which he described the pe culiar claims of their late Speaker to be re-elected on that occasion. After noticing the general qualities re quired in a Chairman, and possessed by Mr. A.bercromby, he alluded to the necessity of im provement in the mode of transacting what was technically called private business. Mr. Aber cromby's exertions in the last Session had proved how well he was qualified to further that important object in the present. The Hon. Gentleman concluded with the motion already described. Mr. Strutt seconded the nomination. Sir IL Peel declared that he should not oppose the motion for many considerations ; amongst others, because it was likely to be carried, perhaps, by a very small majority. He concurred in the importance attached to the object of improving the present mode of conducting private business,; and if, as he believed, the Right "lon. Gentleman had paid great attention to that subject, such a circumstance alone would make him (Sir R. Peel) unwilling to part with his services. Mr. Abercromby, in a few words, acknowledged the complimentary manner in which his name had been mentioned, expressed his concurrence in what had been said with respect to the private busi ness, and concluded with a hope that, if elected, he should receive the full and cordial support of the Tioilsc. Mr. Abercromby was then conducted to the Chair amidst the cheers of the House. Lord John II usseil, having congratulated the Right Hon. Gen tleman on the honour conferred upon him, moved the adjournment of the House until this day, and the House was adjourned aceordingly.—Morning Herald. The first session of the new Parliament—a session which promises to be a most animated, laborious, and important one—commenced yesterday. The proceed ings of the day do not offer much scope for remark. Mr. Abercrombie was unanimously re-elected to the chair of the House of Commons, the Conservatives in that assembly not being desirous to emulate the fac tious conduct to which that Right Hon. Gentleman was indebted for his first election. The rest of this week will be occupied by the Members To of pro ceedings two the Houses taking the oaths and their seats. of Monday next, when the Speec h from the Thron is to be delivered, the earnest attention of the country will now be directed. On that occasion, should the language put into the mouth of the Sove reign be other than Conservative, an amendment to the address will certainly be moved and probably car ried in both Houses of Parliament. It is not gene rally expected, however, that Ministers will hazard the encounter.—Morning Post.

The following is a translation of the declaration, as published in the Mercurio de Matanzoras of Sept. 1, 1837 ON BOARD BRIG ITURBIDE, AUG, 31, 1837.—1, the undersigned, Commanding General of the Maritime Forces of Mexico, in the Gulf, being provided with sufficient means, and acting agreeably to the orders of the Supreme Government to that effect, do hereby declare the ports of Galveston and the Brazos to be actually blockaded, con formably with the principles of maritime and national right, towards those nations with which the Mexican Repub lic has no treaties, and with the basis established by those treaties themselves, in the other cases ; allowing six months' warning from .this day to all vessels belonging to the United States of the North, the American Republics of the South, and the nations of Europe, and three months' warning to those from the West Indies, and the British possessions in North America, and in the peninsula of Yucatan, within which periods they will not be made prizes by the vessels under my command ; unless, after they shall have been spoken and warned of the blockade, they are found sailing towards either of the two above-mentioned ports, which warning shall be given by means of a note in the vessel's patent, signed by the officer who speaks her. " And in order that this declaration be duly made known, the Supreme Mexican Government has ordered that it be printed in the newspapers of Matamoras, Tampico, and Vera Cruz. " God and Liberty. " JOSE DE ALDANA." MURDER IN FRANCE. A trial is about to take place in the department of Eure et Loire, attended by circumstances of no ordinary atrocity. A man of the name of Jousse had been employed for about four years as shepherd by a farmer at Voves. He lived with his master, but his family occupied a small house in the vicinity. The care of his flock occupied the greater part of his time, so that he was but seldom at his own house, but at that of his master he contracted an intimacy with a female servant of the name of Melanie Michel, who became pregnant, was dismissed from her service, but ob tained l•nother engagement in the neighbourhood. About the end of last May Jousse visited his family, and gave several cakes that he had brought with him to his mother and children. He had likewise two small pieces of pastry, of which he gave one to his wife, who had just risen from her confinement. She ate two mouthfuls, and gave him back the rest, of which he was observed to break off a part. While eating it she felt something crumbling be tween her teeth, and during the night she was attacked by a violent eholic, and other symptoms of poison. She sus pected her husband, and carefully collected the remnants of the cake. On the following day lie again came to the house, and was noticed to put something into a pot of treacle that was standing on the chest of drawers. He dropped a small packet, which his wife picked up, and in which she found a white powder. The mother of Jousse, and the mother of his wife, after his departure, examined the pot of treacle, and found it to contain some white particles on the surface. The powder in the paper appeared to them to be arsenic. On the 10th of June, the usual day for hiring servants, Jonsse received a visit from his wife by appointment. He gave her a loaf and a cream cheese, recommending her to eat some of it on her way home. Her suspicions prevented her from doing so, but she brought them both home, when her husband's mother, deriding her fears, ate heartily of both. The same evening the poor woman was taken ill, and died in a few days afterwards, having in the meanwhile refused all medical or spiritual assistance. The wife then gave some of the cheese to a neighbour's cat, and the ani mal died the very next day. She then communicated her suspicions to her sisters, and her fears as to the future. During the night between the 6th and 7th of July the wretched woman was murdered. Her daughter, a child of seven years old, slept with her, heard her get up, go into the yard, and utter a scream. The child was frightened and crept under the bed clothes. Soon afterwards she felt that something was thrown on the bed, which proved to be the body of her mother. She heard the barking of a dog, and thought she rccognishd her father's dog. She ran to her aunt and pave an alarm, Several neighbours came to the house and found the body nearly bent double, lying on the bed, with evident marks about the neck of having been strangled. A rope, which appeared to have been used as the instrument of murder, was found on the door. Jousse was immediately suspected and arrested. At first he resolutely denied all kno aledge of the manner of his wife's death, manifesting no trepidatio❑ on being placed in presence with the dead body, nor even when the body of the mother, which had been dug up, _was opened before his eves. As, however, circumstances accumulated against him, he avowed himself the author of the double murder, but declared at the same time be had only been a passive instrument in the hands of Melanie Michel, who was anxious that he should marry her and repair her shame. He fur ther acknowledged that, yielding to her constant solicita tions, he had determined to try some more direct means than poison. He accordingly went to his house at about e leven o'clock, 'knocked, and on his wife opening the door, threw her on the ground, and twisted' a handkerch►ef round her neck and strangled her. He then carried the body into the house and laid it on the bed. Melanie resolutely de nied the truth of Jousse's statements, but having, on being confronted with him, acknowledged several facts which she had at first repelled with indignation, there appears but too much reason to believe that she has been an accomplice in the crimes of her lover.
