A e Irni ig LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1846. The Pam, Ministry go out ostensibly on the Irish Coercion 13111: the question, however, which has really broken up the Cabinet is that of the Sugar Duties. There is every reason to believe that the liberal intentions of the chief have been thwarted by the interested opposition of certain of his colleagues, and the question of the Sugar Duties it will be th• duty of the new Cabinet to meet at once. There must be no attempt at renewing the present duties for one year to avoid grappling with it. Any such attempt would involve the ultimate destruction of the new Ministry. To be defeated on the question during the present session would not weaken the new Cabinet, but the attempt to avoid the discussion would be a most damaging confession of inherent weakness : besides, the question is one which will not admit of delay. The sugar crop in the West Indies has failed ; the attempt to procure a sufficient supply of this necessary article from countries in which free labour only is employed has failed also. Instead of a supply of 20,000 tons, as estimated from this source, the supply has only amounted to 3,864 tons, while the price to the con sumer has been materially increased. Now the pro ducers of corn are great consumers of sugar, and having established free trade in corn it would be most unjust to the producers of that article to make them pay a protection price for that which INIr.CAs Ino once designated as " the corn of the Tropics sugar. The same measure which has been meted out to the British must in justice be meted out to the colonial agriculturist. The West India planters have already received more, much more, than their due. Be it never forgotten that at the time when the Slavery Abolition Bill was introduced into the House of Commons it was proposed to lend the planters 15,000,000/. They were well pleased with the proposition, and were doing their best to provide something like a tangible security to offer for the repayment of the loan, when the then Colonial Mi nister, Lord STANLEY, with that unreasoning reck lessness, that utter disregard of consequences which has ever been his peculiar characteristic, proposed to change the proposed loan of 15,000,0001. into an un conditional gift of 20,000,0001. The people had not then recovered from the intoxication of joy conse quent upon the passing of the Reform Bill, and no thing but the circumstances of their being so over joyed as to render them incapable of cool reflection can account for the fact of Lord STANLEY being per mitted to carry out his project. Let us beware lest we too be induced, by the joy and gratitude which:we feel for free trade in corn, to accept less than free trade in sugar. Should Lord JonN RUSSELL be the new Minister, he is pledged to give us free trade in sugar without reference to the ques tion of free labour or of slave labour. Indeed it is so impossible practically to draw the distinction, and so transparently hypo critical to make the attempt while we admit slave labour cotton and slave labour ceffee, that we do not imagine any statesman will be found willing to risk his reputation by broaching the argument. There are various other important economical and financial questions (such, for instance, as a revision of the whole of the Excise duties) which must, ere long, occupy the attention of the new Cabinet; but, like Mr. COBDEN, we have a preju dice in favour of doing one thing at a time. The question of questions at the present moment is sugar —that question must be settled, and settled at once, in the broadest sense of free trade. The new Cabinet must, in the settlement of the sugar question, follow the example Sir R. PEEL has set them in the settle ment of the corn question, and do away with all pro tection, or their doom is sealed. From the consideration of the fate and destinies of single measures, the public mind is now specu lating as to the fate and destinies of the aggregate Ministry. Whether the Government is to be sub mitted to the guidance of the protectionist party, or of the Whigs, under the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or is to be continued, under the renovated auspices of Sir ROBERT PEEL, whether the present Parliament be dissolved, or the forces of Sir ROBERT coalesce' with those of Lord JOHN, according to the insinuated recommendation of the Hon. Member for Stockport, form at the pre sent moment the matter of serious consideration to the general community. However much these im portant problems may be involved in a mysterious uncertainty, and however conflicting and confident may be the rumours afloat respecting the destina tion of the red boxes of official dignity, it would not be difficult to prognosticate the catastrophe of all this legislative confusion. What, indeed, has already transpired would be alone suffi ciently indicative of the future. The Prime Minister, at the very moment of achieving the great reform of Eighteen Hundred and Forty-six, is de feated upon another question by a majority of no less than seventy-three; and this majority is ob tained, moreover, through the acknowledgedly personal antagonism of the agricultural party. The leaders of these bucolic non-contents having advocated, both by avowed opinion and by the significance of their votes, the first reading of the very measure, and having now rejected that measure, through the rigorous acrimony of their pique towards the Premier, clearly indicate the resolute and unappeasable cha racter of their enmity ; and, likewise, the futility of that Minister continuing in office under a double and overwhelming discharge of consistent op position and splenetic hostility. The PEEL Adminis tration has therefore but one alternative if it purpose the continuance :of authority; the Ministers will be compelled either to demand a dissolution of Parlia ment, by that movement releasing themselves from the troublesome presence of the protectionists, or they must contrive a coalition with the representatives at present seated upon the Opposition benches. Other wise their withdrawal from office is unavoidable : they might as lief fold their arms and slumber over the desks in Downing-street during the remaining moiety of the session for all the public business which they can execute. SIXBAD the Sailor might as rationally attempt the enjoyment of life when saddled with the " old man of the sea," as the present Ministry might endeavour to discharge the duties incumbent on them, as the guardians of our Constitution, when encumbered by the flagitious and unconscientious hatred of their former associates. Nevertheless, amidst all this confusion and entangle ment of parties, and amidst all these jarring interests of statesmen, one consolatory reflection remains to the people of Great Britain—a reflection which en tirely deprives the pending Parliamentary conflict of anything at all approaching to a painful anxiety ; and that reflection is simply that whatever may be the consequences of the struggle, and howevermuch the Cabinet may be altered or pre served, the destinies of England will inevitably be confided either to Sir ROBERT PEEL or Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or by mere possibility to both ! Believing those two celebrated statesmen to be actuated by the noblest principles of patriotism; believing that their ambition is principally the realisation of happiness to their fellow-countrymen ; seeing the reality of this fact avouched in the long, consistent liberality of one, and demonstrated beyond all misconcep tion in the magnanimous and ever-memorable self-sacrifice of the other—we can bide the issue of circumstances without any feelings at all approximating to those of trepidation, certain of the ultimate advantage which must result iu either case to the multitude. Sir R. PEEL'S visit to Zorne House is of itself an intimation that de what the si c t o h n e seq v u e e n n p o le es steps are b being taken ; but no matter will re of main steps, the the his . country, immutable. Supp n „,„,: tl„,, I,eRO.BERT withdraws, he aons vouchsafed eattamment of will withdraw amidst having been mainly instr b u o m o r tein, one of the most glorious to its I population, and in the attainment of h le boon he h as nobly sacrificed the i dearest friendship ; and dis sipated one of th e most i n vincible posse of adherents statesman ever retaine d. Su pp osing Lord JOHN la nominated First Lord of the Treasury, he will enter office in the full glow nerous of that admiration whi and ch has been aroused for his charact er by the ge • unselfish co-operation which he afforded to the Ministerial promoter of free trade. Now that freedom of commerce has been sanctioned by the SOVEREIGN, and thus rendered the law of the land ; now, moreover, that we may count with cer tainty either upon a PEEL Administration or a RUSSELL Administration, or an amalgamation of both, we can remain satisfied under all circumstances. The States of the Duchy of Saxe Coburg were opened on the IBth instant, the Minister, Baron DB STEAN officiating in the absence of the Duke. For the first time the public were permitted to be present at the ceremony. A new ordonnance on the subject of the cen sorship of the press has been issued in Bavaria, by which the editors of journals are permitted to insert whatever concerns the internal policy of the Government without submitting the articles to pre vious examination. Articles relating to foreign politics are subject to the censorship as heretofore. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1846. The second Chamber of the States of Baden have resolved to enter into the consideration of a project of law for suppressing all gambling-houses and lotte lies within the D uchy. Madrid papers of the 20th have arrived. A Prussian officer in the Foreign Legion has been arrested at Malaga, as the murderer of Colonel TRO BAD°. In consequence of disclosures which he has made since his arrest, M. ESSENTERO, the agent of the smugglers of Malaga has been arrested. Several other persons are compromised by these confessions. It was reported in Madrid that a very extensive joint-stock company has been formed for renting from the State, for twenty-five years, the Philippine Islands, Annobon and Fernando Po ; paying for the first, a rent equal to double their present returns to the Government, and engaging to form manufac turing and commercial establishments in the others. The Prince DE JOINVILLE was expected to arrive at Barcelona on the 24th. MADRID BOLSA, JUNE 20.—The Three per Cents. were done at 33- for cash ; the Five per Cents. ai 20i for paper ; the Debt without Interest at 61 for cash; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando at 280; and those of Isabel at 98. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull. Sales, 4,000 bales. Shares have been quiet also. The features in the Bank of England return for last week are these : Notes issued now £29,005,160 Last Increase 401,765 Bullion now Last Incsease Public deposits, increase ......... Other deposits, decrease Seven day and other bills, decrease Other securities, decrease 137,495 The immense amount of bullion held, and the power which .that gives to augment the note is,ues, is a very decided proof of the sway which the Bank of England possesses, under the last new Act, over the currency of the United Kingdom. There are advices from Sydney to-day to the 12th March, but we do not believe that any letters have yet been deli vered, nor have any papers come to hand. the dates are later than those previously received, and much anxiety was shown in commercial circles to learn if any news of import ance had been received from New Zealand later in point of date than that previously obtained from this colony At present we have not had our letters delivered to us. Great is the exultation at the Corn and Tariff Bills having become the law of the land. Differences of opinion may exist as to the foreign policy of the new Ministry, but as to home matters, not a shadow of fear exists. Consols for the Account have been done at 95, and at 94 , % this morning. Exchequer bills at 13s. 14s. premium ; Bank Stock at 204 1 / and 205%; and the Reduced Three per Cents at 94 3 / 4 to 95 ; and India Bonds at 25s premium. In the Foreign Market there has been a good amount of business done to-day, principally in Brazilian at 83, in Chilian at 95%, in Mexican at 27 1 %, in Portuguese at a fall from 49 to 47%, in Spanish at 24 1 / x , in the Spanish Three per Cents. at 363,i, and in the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents at 60%. Upon the whole, the Railway Shares and Scrip Market has been heavy to-day, as may be observed by a reference to the official list of prices, inserted in another part of The Sun. BRITISH FUNDS.

Sia,—Should the plan as suggested by "Alfred " in the Morning Advertiser of the 22nd instant, of gathering a subscription of one penny each, to erect a statue to Sir Robert Peel, be proceeded with, I will most gladly act as the medium of the many hundred journals of which I am the agent, in promoting this noble and national undertaking. All the editors and publishers of journals, friendly to the undertaking, in any part of the United Kingdom, may, through me, communicate to the Lord Mayor, or any other distinguished gentleman, who tablieshmuer, the amount of pence paid nts, towards the statue in u r s e e s n p t e e t to v a e c t e s as Tas at m a t y h their the Royal Exchange ; and, as the same amounts to a sovereign or upwards, such Journal shall be advertised in the various London newspapers, friendly to the same object.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—Two Government mes sengers arrived at the dockyard soon after five o'clock this morning,by special train from Vauxhall, having dispatches for her Majesty, containing intelligence of the Corn and Customs' Bills havingpassed the House of Lords, and also the result of the division in the House Of Commons on the Irish Protection of Life Bill. Immediate directions were sent to the commander of the Fairy steam-yacht to prepare to proceed with the messengers to Osborne House, and at eight o'clock the Fairy left the harbour and got off Mead's Ceeak by half-past, when the messengers were landed with their despatches. Her Majesty could not have lost any time in affixing her royal signature to the commission, for the royal assent to these important Bills, and also to numerous others which were included in the commission, for the Fairy returned with messengers from Cowes by half-past eleven, i n timetwelve o'clock.f or hei rTheleaving F a r yGosport returned by y to t O h y e sibnoo e t x rrhne p eae r rd e dli s nin s reees t sess r t a el ny i t n oategh a roe t s messengers fuhleabao q mu u er itt at quitted time short o e ar r ts . nth ' o r et l i i c t, e C a: o irn m y, e c t atso s e t b e a a ne mer got her steam 0 ; :p t a at or dispatches should arrive. . arm PROVISIONS.—The arrivals at the ports of ~ondon, Liverpool, and Bristol, in a lesser degree, of provi sions from the neighbouring portion of the United Kingdom, have continued to be of an extensive and important charac ter, and have comprised large quantities of butter, bacon, pork, lard, general provisions, hams, meal, porter, the various descriptions of grain known under the general head of corn, and other articles of food and general merchandise, usually brought from that fruitful island. If our space permitted it, we could give the list of articles which have arrived daily from the quarter alluded to, which would amply prove the correctness of our remarks, but we must content ourselves with saying that they have been of an extensive character, and that among the more noticeable articles of supply, the importation of which possess some novelty, those of fresh salmon, to a considerable extent, and in one instaice, of live horned cattle, in additi on t o th e usu al su ppli es of the swine species, may be particularly mentioned. One ship, which arrived in the river Thames, on Wednesday, brought no less than 261 packages of this esteemed and luscious description of Ash. AMERICAN NEWS. BY EXTRAORD[NARY EXPRESS. MOST IMPORTANT FROM THE UNITED STATES. SETTLEMENT OF THE OREGON DISPUTE. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SUNDAT. The Royal Mail Steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, after a splendid passage of twelve and a-half days, reached the Mersey this day, shortly after twelve o'clock, bringing 102 passengers, and the semi-monthly mails from the United States and Canada. By her arrival we have received New York, Washington, Philadelphia, and Canada papers to the latest date. The news containc-1 therein is of a most important character, as it announces the gratifying intelligence that the dispute respecting the Oregon question has been settled; and that, after all, there shall be no war for this barren and unprofitable territory. This has been brought about by the acceptance of the ultimatum sent out in the steamer of the 19th of May last, and submitted to the United States Government by the British Minister at Washington. On receiving the proposition, Mr. Polk, who was irrevocably pledged to 54 40, felt he could not adopt the terms contained therein, and in order to rid himself of the responsibility of rejecting it he sent a message to the Senate, in which he enclosed the proposition, and left the adoption or rejection in their hands. Accordingly, on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, the Senate took up the matter in executive session, with closed doors, and after three day's deliberation adopted the p:oposal, by a vote of 38 to 12, authorising the President to conclude a treaty on the terms proposed. Since then a magnetic telegraph has reached New York, stating that the treaty had been signed by Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Pakenham, and would be brought before the Senate for approval on the 15th inst. The terms of the treaty are to the following effect : 1. The 49th parellel—'till it strikes the Sound separating Vancouver's Island from the main—thence along the centre of that Sound southerly through the Straits of Fuca to the sea, leaving the navigation of those Straits free to both, and the whole of Vaucouver's Island to Great Britain. __ _ 2. The free navigation of the Columbia River to the Hud son's Bay Company until the expiration of their pre sent charter—and acknow leding their right of property in the buildings, improvements, &c., which they own south of 49. There are probably other stipulations about a reciprocal use of the ports in Vancouver's Island, and within the Straits of Fuca. The New York Courier and Inquirer has the fol [owing : These are merely conjectural statements of the points of the arrangement, but they may be near the truth, and this may be said with certainty, that to any proposition which the President would submit to the Senate for their advice, thereby clearly binding himself, if the advice be in favour of the proposition, to accept them ; and in the actual circum stances of tha country, that body, as now constituted, would give their sanction. We may, therefore, we think, congratulate both countries in the final and peaceful adjustment of this angry and threatening controversy. In respect to the Mexican war, there is no new fact to com municate concerning the military operations since our last report. The official dispatches of General Taylor, announc ing the capture of Matamoras, show that the Mexican force was retreating hastily towards the interior, having evacuated that town on the eve of General Taylor's approach, convey- ing with them such portion of the munition and ordinance as they could. General Taylor, however, had captured large stores and many arms, cannon and small arms, secreted by the•enemy previous to his departure, but easily found after wards. The strictest orders, which are strictly enforced, were issued by General Taylor to his army, to treat private persons and property with entire respect, and that nothing should be taken for the army but upon payment. Vera Cruz has been blockaded by the United States ship Rieraton and one or two others. * Notwithstanding a New York barque contrived to get into port, although chased by the United States' boats. The following are the official documents on the subject of the blockade. The notice is as follows : • " I have the honour to inform you that the port of Vera Cruz remains blotkadedfrom this day by the naval forces of the United States on this station. Neutral vessels which are now in port are at liberty to depart, with or without car goes, within the next fifteen days from this date. All packets carrying correspondence, which are not engaged in commerce, and under a neutral flag, are at liberty to enter and depart from the port. "I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect, " ANDREW FITZHUGH, Comd'r." The general Proclamation of Blockade is as follows : In virtue of authority vested in me by the Government of the United States of America, I hereby declare the ports of Vera Cruz, Alvardo, Tampico, and Matamoras, in the Re public of Mexico, to be in a state of rigorous blockade by the ships and vessels under my command. The blockade will be extended to the remaining ports and rivers of that Republic on the Gulf of Mexico,sis soon as circumstances will permit—Of which due notice will be given. This proclamation is made for the information of all con cerned ; and a copy of the instructions given to the blockad ing squadron is annexed. Given under my hand this fourteenth day of May, A.D. 1846, on board the United States ship Cumberland, off Brazos Santiago, (Signed) D. CONNER, Commanding United States Home Squadron. Instructions to be observed by the officers commanding vessels of the Home Squadron, in forcing the blockade of ports of the east coast of Mexico. Ist. No neutral vessel proceeding towards the entrance of the blockaded port shall be captured or detained, if she shall not previously have received from one of the blockading squadrons a special notification of the existence of this blockade. This notification shall moreover be inserted in writing on the muster roll of .the neutral vessel by the cruiser which meets her, and it shall contain the announce ment, together with statements of the day and the latitude in which it was made. 2. Neutral vessels which may be already in the port be fore the blockade of it, shall have full liberty to depart, with or without cargo, during fifteen days after that upon which the blockade is established. 3. The Ports of Vera Cruz and Tampico will remain entirely free for the entrance and departure of neutral non commercial mail packets. Mexico boats engaged exclusively in fishing on any part of the coast, will be allowed to pursue their labours un molested. In its present political condition, the flag of Yucatan is to be respected. Signed, D. CONNER. Commanding Home Squadron. U.S. Ship Cumberland, off Brazos Santiago, May 14, 1846. In a Vera Cruz paper, El Republican, a notice is pub lished that the British mail steamer Tay was to leave Vera Cruz for Havanah on the morning of the 2nd instant, and "would take on board, as heretofore, all specie and cochineal that should be offered for shipment." The charges of Mr. Ingersoll against Mr. Webster had been investigated by a Committee appointed for that purpose, and reported to the House the opinion that Mr. Webster was not guilty, thereby disproving the rash and rather malignant assertion of his accuser. A long correspondence had passed between General Scott and the War Department, on the subject of the command of the army against Mexico. His letters seem to have sunk him in popular esteem, as he is considered as having been actuated by wrong feelings in declining the President's nomination of him as General of the Army of Occupation. The papers come to hand this afternoon contain a long re port from the Committee on Naval affairs, regarding the project of a line of mail steamers between New York and Great Britain. The voluminous document concludes by recommending the project as one of great importance, and submits the outline of a Bill to carry the same into execu tion. Doubts seem to exi3t whether the Government and Congress would adopt the provisions of the Bill. From Canada we have papers to a late date, but they con tain no news of importance. The Canada Parliament had been adjourned from the 9th of May till the 19th of July. COMMERCIAL.—We have very little news of importance to the commercial world. The money market at New York was quiet ; a good business was done on the 13th, but the demand for Foreign Exchange was limited ; quotations on London were 108 3 / 4 and 1084 ; Paris, 535 and 5364. The cotton market was steady, and a fair amount of business. The flour market was firmer, and provisions steady, with mode rate sales. WASHINGTON, JUNE 14, 1846. . , . Everything is quiet here to-day—dreary weather and no life, except a general congratulation among certain political parties, at the happy termination of all difficulties with England—prospectively. I suppose you have received the ayes and noes, forwarded on Friday night. I have not much more to add. The debate on the message of the President was calm and moderate, and conducted altogether, it may be said, on one side : the ultra men (so called the 54 40's), said nothing, except to vote. Nor did the Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Affairs open his lips. He had not been consulted upon the question. The message from the President, when made public, I think will show him to have been consistent throughout, as a gentleman, on his own notion of the question of right. Circumstances have arisen, he says in his message, to make it proper he should submit this proposition to the Senate, from the British Government ; and as his precedent, he refers to the conduct of General Washington in similar cases ; and he says he awaits the action of the Senate whether or not he shall make a treaty on the terms offered. The terms you already know—the 49th line to be the boundary, as far as the Straits of Fuca—then down to the Pacific Ocean, withineutral rights to the Straits—Vancouver's Island to the British—and the navigation, until 1858, of the Columbia river. The Hudson Bay Company to be indemni fied for property turned over to the United States. Accompanying this message i a letter from Mr. M'Lane. He says the question will be settled upon the terms he has just had from a late interview with Lord Aberdeen, but doubts whether the British Government will agree (on . ons particular of the terms) to anything short of the fupvnit,tacins tion of the Columbia, as perpetual. Here Mr wrong, as the terms proposed only ask it until 1858. The President then asks the advice of the Senate, whether he shall accept the terms. The above may be considered th n e sunitirtaatteudmh by f them, theß b ri u ti t sh a 't d States, in answer to Government. It would have bee_ u ate n : t i e n d d . eed the instructions respect due to the Senate of s th en e - *mmiatteedt.mreetheevmenainnnse,r in it h a s their late resolution of the from the Foreign-office, to be submitted.

Mr. Benton made a glowing speech. All amendments and motions to postpone, were voted down, and the resolu tion to agree passed without a single alteration of the terms proposed. This result is looked upon as a great triumph of the friends of peace, and Mr. Benton, they say, has captured the adminisitafon, and holds the 5,440 men:as hostages. This vote has also created an armistice. Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Benton, who have not spoken during the session, have become warm friends again ; and other mutual civilities long suspended, have been renewed. The treaty will be prepared with all possible dispatch, and will be sent in this week, probably by Wednesday, as I un derstand from a Member of the Cabinet. The Ultra's (with all deference to their views of the ques tion) are much mortified, and will take occasion to speak their sentiments when the treaty comes in. /t may all be finally concluded within the space of ten days. The above information you may be assured is true to the letter. PELHAM. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. A correspondent of one of . these journals gives the following account of the conduct of the new POPE, while a Nuncio at Naples, during the pre valence of the cholera. __ " In 1836 I was at Naples, where I had the honour of being personally acquainted with the present Pope, who was re siding there as Nuncio. He left in that city souvenirs which can never be effaced, particularly from the hearts of the poor. At the time of the cholera, he sold his carriages, his furni ture, and his plate, and distributed the proceeds amongst the unfortunate persons attacked by that disease. During the whole of the time that it lasted he never ceased to give to the sick the consolations of religion, and also aid from his purse. He was always on foot in the visits which he paid to them and when observations were made to him on this point, 1:e replied—' When the poor of Jesus Christ are dying in the streets, his ministers ought not to go through them in iaso.'" Accounts to the 20th have been received from Algiers. In consequence of the massacre of the wounded French in the province of Constantine, by the Arabs, several French colonists have become so alarmed that they have deemed it prudent to retire to Bona. A band of Kabyles on the 12th suddenly attacked a detachment of the garrison of Bugia which had sallied forth to cut hay in the neighbour ing plains. The mowers were compelled to fall back on the troops. The Journal du Havre devotes a large space to a letter from the master of a French trading vessel, the Ville de Caudebec, giving an account of his having been run against by the Highlander, of Liverpool, in March last, and materially injured without any offer of assistance being made afterwards by the master of the English vessel, of whom he speaks in the most contemptuous manner. It having become known in Paris on Thursday that the PEEL Administration was really near to its close, the Bourse was much agitated. Stocks and shares, the latter especially, declined.

The statement that Sir Robert Peel left town for Osborne House immedi ately after the Cabinet Council on Friday, was erro neous. The Right Hon. Baronet remained during the whole afternoon at his residence in Whitehall gardens. On Saturday, at twelve o'clock, Sir Robert Peel left his residence in Whitehall-gardens, for Osborne House, Isle of Wight, to have an audience of her Majesty. Sir Robert was accompanied from town by one of his sons. Sir Robert proceeded to the terminus of the South-Western Railway, and left by the half-past twelve o'clock train. We understand that Mr. Dean has resigned the Chair manship of the Board of Customs, and that he is to be suc ceeded by Sir Thomas Fremantle, the present Deputy Chair man.—Observer. We learn further that the Right Hon. George R. Dawson, who has for some time been a member of the Board of Customs, is to be appointed Deputy Chairman in the place of Sir Thomas Fremantle.— Observer. We have to record a further proof of the kind conside ration felt by Sir Robert Peel for the afflicted family of the late Mr. Haydon. Not content with the prompt pecuniary assistance extended to that lamented artist in the last hours of his life, nor with the liberal sum transmitted to his be reaved widow and orphans, tke Premier has made permanent provision for a son of the deceased by appointing him to the situation of landing-waiter in the Customs.—Observer. Mr. Augustus Paget, precis-writer to the Earl of Aberdeen. has been appointed second paid attache to the British Embassy at Paris.—Observer. Mr. John Duncan, the African traveller, has just arrived in London from Dahomey. He is the bearer of a proposal from the King of Dahomey, an intelligent chief, for the suppression of the slave trade. Such a treaty would have the most beneficial effects, as the seaboard of Dahomey is now the chief slaving ports on the west coast of Africa. Mr. Duncan's description of his reception at the Court of the King, is truly interesting, as showing the rapid progress towards civilisation which has in a short time taken place in that kingdom under the rule of a sagacious chief, and his example bids fair to extend itself all over Soudan, HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION,—Yesterday morning the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Worcester, delivered a sermon at St. Mark's District Chapel, North Audley-street, on behalf of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the chest.

Messrs.

The result of the scrutiny appeared to be as follows : the number of votes were eighteen, out of which Chief Rabbi Ennery had 17.—L' Univers Israelite. DESTITUTION IN HARRIS.—If the Shetlanders are badly off, the poor Hebrideans of this island are in a much worse condition. Contrary to expectation, the potato crop which was stored in pits, turned out all but a complete failure, hundreds of barrels having been found, on examination pre paratory to planting, in an unsound state, and not even fit for cattle. Many of the tenants who were wont to have 60 and 100 barrels, could not muster a sufficient quantity for seed; and it was with great difficulty that many procured the same even at an exorbitant price. The potato crop being thus nearly exhausted, nothing remains for their support but a part of the small supplies of barley and black oats, which grow on the bleak and sterile hill sides, or in the mossy swamps on the low ground—and with many this is even exhausted. If such, then, is the present condition of the tenants, what must that of the paupers be, who are almost wholly dependent on them for support—albeit the tenants pay 3Ad. per pound of assessment for the poor on the amount of rent payable by them? One case of death from alleged starvation has already oc curred near Tarbert. Such is the destitute state of the poor, that they go to the sea-shore and gather limpets, cockels, and other shell-fish ; and by digging in the sands of Scarista, they get a species of small fish called sand eels. On these, and these only, do many of them subsist. Even the bed-ridden, who, from dire necessity, are forced to leave their sick beds and crawl along to the sea-shore, live on shell-fish. I learn from one of those unfortunate people, that half-a-barrel of cockles is required for the support of his family (three in number) every two days, allowing only two meals per diem, sad that he has to dig several square yards of sand before getting sufficient to fill his creel. The poor man says that sta in ti a o n ne;; if he had as much meal as would enable him to take a little gruel with the cockles, he would feel contented.—Caledonian Mercury. dressed like a mechanic, called at a bookseller and A COUNTRYMAN AT FAULT.—On Wednesday morning, I m vh in ic st h er wasf Place.

MONTE VIDEO, APRIL 21.—Her Majesty's ship Phi lemel sailed from this yesterday direct for England, having on board Mr. Turner, and M. Chevalier, attache to the Baron Deffaudis, sent home for fresh instruc tions. The latter, it is said, has stated to his Govern ment, that they have only two courses to choose from for the settlement of this question—viz., the sending out a powerful expedition. or the abandonment of the ques tion altogether ; in either case his services might be dis pens( d with, as, in the first, the commander-in-chief would be sufficient ; and, in the second, a new minister would be requisite ; he therefore requests his recall. This can be depended upon, and the result of the deli berations of the two Cabinets, on this vessel's arrival home, will consequently be most important. Ex change, 47d.

MEMORANDUM OF OCCURRENCES AT MONTE VIDEO, FROM MARCH 14 TO MARCH 31, IN CLUSIVE. 14th. Arrived her Majesty's steamer Alecto, bringing dates from Corrientes to sth March, and having on board two ministers from Paraguay, said to he accredited to this government and the mediating ministers. The commercial accounts received are most deplorable, as may be gleaned from the following extracts from a letter from a most intelligent person at Corrientes " With respect to the state of the province in relation to business, I am sorry to have to draw a very unfa vourable picture ; the war, which, as you know, has continued since the year 1839, had impoverished the people generally, insomuch that the goods which arrived here in the year 1844, although a great part of them were sent OA to Paraguay, remain unsold, at least one half of them. If such was the state of the province during the last two years, how much worse must it be at present, when two armies are ravaging it from one extremity to the other. It is thought by the most in telligent people that the invasion of Urquiza will cost at least 100,000 head of cattle, all of which will be entirely lost ; for neither army can think of hides, &c. Add to all this, the people of the country, upon whom their families depend for subsistence, are out with the - army ; the latter have not wherewithal to buy the common necessaries of life, much less to purchase clothing. Under such circumstances the car goes of three or four small vessels would have stocked this place for a year, so that if only one-half of the sixty vessels that are coming up bring cargoes, they will not dispose of them in ten years (for it will take Corrientes ten years of peace to recover the same degree of pros perity which it enjoyed before the year 1839); the wisest course that most of them could take, would be to return with their cargoes to Monte Video, though they had to wait five years the opening of Buenos Ayres. Salt is offering on board at 1 dol. per fanga—what will it be when large quantities arrive ? The Government, on the news of the convoy having entered the river, doubled the duties upon imports and exports ; in short, the state of this province cannot be worse for busi ness than it is at present ; there is much poverty, much misery, and not a little discontent. "With respect to the republic of Paraguay, I cannot give you much information. In the month of November last a treaty offensive and defensive was concluded with the Government of Corrientes against Roses, by which the Paraguay Government hound themselves to place under the orders of Paz 10,000 men, with as many more hereafter should they be required ; 14,000 were accord ingly sent down, which arrived in the Rincon de Soto, near Goya, a few days before the invasion of Urquiza, well armed, but in a miserable state of discipline. It was to gain time to drill these new allies that Paz retreated be fore the former ; 5,000 men more are ready at present between Nembuco and Villa Franca, and vessels are gone to bring them. Of the state of business in Paraguay, I can only inform you that (facturas) invoices that have gone from this in the latter end of the year 1844 are still unsold. Amongst them, the greater part of the goods of Parlane M'Ales tar and Co. It is a miserable business; the government will not give licence to yerba or tobacco to Nembuco whilst any remains unsold there; so that you must either take rotten yerba and tobacco, or remain with your goods unsold. Special licences are ' sometimes given (very few) to go to Ascencion, hut even there Kerr has been four or five months without doing any thing, as they all wait the arrival of the convoy. By a late decree the government has taken the yerba into its own hands, so that no private person can deal in yerba, timber, or hides. In short Paraguay will be worth nothing for business until the government is more li beral and the people more enlightened." Captain Hotham writes that in his opinion nothing will be done by the contending armies until next Sep tember 'or October, and it is very evident all parties engaged in the expedition, both naval and commercial, are becoming most heartily sick of it. 18th.—Arrived General Rivera from Rio de Janeiro, in the Spanish brig Fomento. He was immediately con veyed on board her Majesty's ship Vernon, in a boat belonging to that ship. On the 19th he was released, and again placed on board the Foment°, where he re ceived visits from the town, but was not allowed to land. He subsequently repaired on board the Spanish frigate Perla. This Government are determined not to let him land, and appears to have the support of the Ministers in this measure, which is much exasperating his partisans. 24th. Arrived her Majesty's ship Resistance, from England, for the purpose, it is understood, of convey ing the 45th Regiment _to their original destination, which tends to damp the spirits of those parties who confidently expected an overpowering expedition in support of their views. 26th. To-day the January packet from England has arrived, but nothing has transpired respecting the ad vices she may bring relative to this question, if we ex cept that it is generally stated that Mr. Ouseley has been nominated special minister to this republic. The object of this is not known here. 28th. This morning several arrests have taken place, amongst. them several persons of note, understood to have been tampering with the troops in order to raise a revolution in town in Rivera's favour; to-day (the 29th) the city has, by public proclamation, been placed under martial law, and by a decree of the same date Rivera is ordered to retire to some foreign country, where he is to receive a pension of 5,000 dollars per annum. Had it not been for the presence of the two British regiments in the garrison some serious outbreak would have taken place, which would have rendered the situation ' of foreigners very precarious. It is now generally stated that the 45th Regiment will not at any rate leave this for the Cape until after the arrival of the February packet from England, now daily looked for. 31st.—Nothing further new. General Rivera still re mains on board the Spanish frigate, and affairs in town appear tolerably quiet. No later dates from the Parana or Uruguay. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. (From Friday night's Gamette) Admiralty-office, June 24, 1846. Dispatches were this day received at this office from Cap tain Charles Graham, of her Majesty's ship Castor, ad dressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, of which the fol lowing are copies:— Her Majesty's ship Castor, Kawakawa, River, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, Jan. 13, 1846. Sir,—l have the honour to forward to you, for the infor mation of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, copies of my letters, No. 6 (of the 9th of January, 1846) and No. 7 (of this date), to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief on this station, agreeably with the Admiralty instructions, page 89, article 56.-1 have the honour to be, &c., C. GRAHAM, Captain and senior officer at New Zealand. To the Secretary of the Admiralty, London. Her Majesty's ship Castor, Kawakawa River, Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Jan. 9, 1846. Sir.—l have the honour to report to your Excellency, the proceedings of the squadron under my command since my last communication, dated the 15th of December, 1845. His Excellency Governor Grey arrived here on the 18th ultimo, and it being his wish and intention to advance into the country to punish the rebel chief named Kawitti, sta tioned in a Pah, as mentioned in my last letter, No. 4, I im mediately landed the seamen and marines of this ship, with proper officers, amounting to one hundred and eighty-eight (188) persons, with arms, ammunition, rockets, &c., and ordered Lieut. Otway, who commanded them, to place him self under the immediate command of Commander Hay, of the Racehorse, whom I instructed (or rather confirmed the orders of Sir Everard Home) to act with all the naval force, under the direction of Colonel Despard. Her Majesty's ship Calliope arrived at the Bay of Islands on the 31st December, and I have, according to your orders, detained that ship. I have ordered the Osprey round to the Hok i ang a a r l i a v r e m r, to protect British subjects, who are under considerab le from the unsettled state of the country. I shall feel it necessary to detain the Callie, and Racehorse for the present ; and, cominginthal do so after due sion, I have to inform your Excellency that from whom proceedings in this ' to o t r h t i h s d S e t c a i r l consultation with his Excellency the o bi fthis Wand are in such a I learn that affairs in the south state as may possibly require an extraordinary force and district are successful, and pa exertions to quell insurrection, c e e v r e take the earliest opportunity, after Secretary of the warlike affairs in Her Majesty's steamer Driver has not yet arrived ; but I shall e n s u i f l t o s u . r letterw hich to may a t yh the rrive. this part of the island are over, to establish coal depots for Admi ralty, agreeably with the Admiralty instructions,an i y sse t n ea d m a - o v o e p s y sel of ofw hi a s r page 89, article 56.—1 have the honour to be, &c.l C. GRAHAM, Captain. To his Excellency Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane C. 8., Co mman d er-in -Chief, &c. , Camp, in front of Kawitti's Pah, New Z, January 12th 1846. Sir,—l hav e th e honour ealand to acquaint you, for , the informa tion of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that, in obedience to orders from Captain Sir Everard Home, of her Majesty's ship North Star, whose orders you confirmed on your arrival, I landed with 130 seamen under my command on the 13th ultimo, and placed myself in communication with Colonel Despard, commanding the land forces at the head of the Kawakawa river, destined to march to attack the Pah of the rebel chief Kawitti, situate in a thick forest on a mountain, fourteen miles from the head of the river. Two 32-pounders and one 18-pounder gun were landed from her Majesty's ship North Star, and a 12-pounder howitzer from the Hon. East India Company's ship Elphinstone. Our whole force advanced on the 22d ultimo to a position about half way to the Fah, On the 23d I received A rein forcement of 150 :seamen from the Castor, under your com mand, with another 12-pounder howitzer. On the 27th' the forces advanced, and the guns were brought forward, with astonishing exertion on the part of the officers and seamen, through a most difficult country, to a position about 900 yards from the enemy's Pah ; shells and rockets were thrown in occasionally until the Bth instant, when another 32-pounder was brought up, and roads having been cut through the forest by the pioneers, two stockades were erected by them, assisted by the seamen and troops. Breach ing batteries in the stockade were erected the one dis• tent 300 yards, the other 140 yards, from the Pah. On the 10th, at 11 A.M., fire was opened frcm the batteries, served by seamen, under the direction of Lieutenant Maxwell Falcon, of the Castor, Alleyne Bland, of the Racehorse, and Leeds, of the Hon. East India Company's ship Elphinstone, with the howitzer, and Mr. John Nops, master of the Race horse, with the 18-pounder ; Lieutenant Egerton, of the North Star, directing the rockets. The fire was continued with little intermission till 9 A fu., on the 11th, when our friendly natives having ascertained that the two breaches were praticable waved us on to advance ; an assault was in stantly made by the seamen under my command, in conjunc ion with the land forces and natives; we were scarcely in the Pah, when the enemy made a desperate attempt to regain it, and a severe action ensued, which lasted nearly four hours; they were finally repulsed in the most gallant manner, and retreated to the wood. I enclose a list of the seamen and marines killed and wounded, and regret much the loss of se many brave men. I beg to bring before the notice of his Excellency- the Commatile , -in- Chief the following officers who accompanied me to the assault, with their respective divisions of small- arm men, and made themselves otherwise extremely useful:—Lieutenant Robert J. Otway, first of the Castor; Alfred J. Curtis, of the North Star; Arthur K. Henry, of the Racehorse ; Eden and Ralph, of the Hon. last India Company's ship Elphinstone; and Mr. Lock, mate of the Castor; Mr. Charles S. Forbes, midshipman of the North. Star, attached to the rocket party ; and Mr. Grove, my aide de camp; also Assistant-Surgeon Broughton, of the Elphin stone ; and the following medical officers, who attended to the wounded in the camp : viz., Mr. John Kidd, surgeon of' the Castor; Mr. William 11PK. Saunders, assistant-surgeon of the North Star; and Mr. Pritchard, assistant-surgeon of the Castor. I cannot conclude this dispatch without expressing my ad miration of the conduct of every officer and seaman engaged, which is fully confirmed by the general order of the Colonel commanding, of this day's date, a copy of which I enclose. Mr. George Don Murray, midshipman of her Majesty's ship North Star (the only officer struck), was severely wounded early in the action, when leading his subdivisicn of seamen. The arrangements for the victualling of the naval portion. of the force engaged was conducted by Mr. Kenneth. L. Sutherland, paymaster and purser of her Majesty's ship North Star, to my perfect satisfaction I beg to add, that I have received the greatest assistance from Lieutenant Otway, of the Castor, and second in command of the naval brigade. I have the honour to be, &c., GEORGE JAMES HAY, Commander of her Majesty's ship Racehorse. The officer commanding the force acting against the rebel chiefs Heke and Kawitti has the greatest satisfaction in con gratulating the whole of the force at the brilliant success that has attended their operations of the last few days. The capture, by assault, of a fortress of such extraordinary strength, and defended by so brave and determined an enemy, is of itself sufficient to prove the intrepidity and gal lantry displayed by all concerned, whether seamen, marines. troops of the line, artillery of the Hon. East India Corn . pany's service, and the volunteer pioneers; and it will be most pleasing part of his duty to bring such conduct to the notice of his Excellency the Governor of New Zealand, and through him to that of her Majesty and his Grace the Com mander-in-Chief. The Colonel cannot conclude this order, without express ing his admiration at the brave and intrepid conduct dis played by our native allies on every occasion since these operations commenced, and more particularly during the assault of the pah, on which occasion their bravery was fully equal to what might be expected from the bravest of her Majesty's troops. The Colonel commanding feels the greatest regret at the loss of so many brave men as have been killed and wounded. on this occasion; but it will be considered as an alleviation by their friends, that they have fallen w hile nobly perform ing their duty to their Queen and country. (By order) 'C. P. O'CONNELL, A.8.M.. List of Killed and Wounded at the a ttack made on Kawitti'" Pah, at Ruapikapika, on the 10th and 11th of January, 1846. Her Majesty's ship Castor—Seven men killed ; ten seamen, two marines, severely wounded. Her Majesty's ship North.Star—One marine killed; two seamen severely wounded ; Mr. Murray, midshipmen, in cluded. Her Majesty's ship Calliope—One marine killed ; one marine severely wounded. Her Majesty's sloop Racehorse—One seaman severely wounded. Hon. East India Company's sloop Elphinstone—One sea man severely wounded. Her Majesty's ship Casto'j Kawakawa River, Bay of Island , , Jan. 12, 1846. Sir,—l have the honour to forward to your Excellencyr a copy of Commander Hay's letter to me, descriptive of the services of the naval and marine force under his com mand at the operations against the insurgent natives in this neighbourhood ; and, in doing so, it is my pleasant duty further to report to your Excellency that, although I was not present myself in the Pah at the successful capture of it, but in one of the batteries, still, from having been in the camp during the last thr ee weeks Tivancingi and having consequently witnessed the great exertions of the officers, seamen, and marines of the ships under my com mand, and those of the Hon. East India Company's ship Elphinstone, in assisting in getting up the guns through a very hilly country, and other heavy work in erectinx batteries and conducting the fire from them, in breaching, shelling. and rocketing the Pah, &c., and the weather hav ing been very wet, causing the roads (which had to be cut through woods and over hills in a hitherto untraversed country) to be very difficult, also all hands having had to live under what shelter they could temporarily contrive out of the bush, I consider their conduct worthy of the warmest admiration. The unwearied zeal, exertions, and attention to their re spective departments exhibited by Captain Sir Everard Home Bart., C.B. (to whom I appointed the duty of defend , ing a Pah, at our landing-place, six miles up the river, and twelve from the Pah destroyed); also to keep up the com munication with the ships, which the rebels were expected to attempt to cut off, by Commander Hay, of her Majesty. ship Racehorse, and Captain Young, of the Ho n. East Indus Company's sloop Elphinstone, demand my thanks to them.; and it is my pleasant duty to report the same to your Ex.- cellency. I have equal satisfaction in corroborating the statemertts made by Commander Hay, respecting the officers and Men under his orders, as I placed him in command of the whole naval party, acting under the directions of Colonel Despard, the military commander of the operations. It is melancholy that so many fine young men have fallen in this successful affair; and it is only due to Mr. Kidd, the surgeon of this ship, to report his great attention and aid, not only to our wounded people, but also to those of the friendly natives. I have, in conclusion, to acquaint your Excellency, that reports from the officers appointed to eommand the vrtrious different parties connected with these brisk operations in variably gratify me, by reporting most favourably on the conduct of the respective officers and men under them ; but it would be unjust for me to forward particular cases, when all hands have done their duty so gallantly and willingly through this very rough service. The force landed from her Majesty's ships, previous to my arrival on the 13th December last, was 171, including officers and marines; the Castor lauded 188, the Elphinstone 54; when the Calliope arrived, the Osprey's men were sent to their vessel (her services being required for the protec tion of the British residents on the Hokianga river), and were replaced by 40 seamen and all the marines of that ship, making a total of those engaged in the affair from the ships about 340, 93 of whom were marines, who were brigaded under Captain Langford, R.M., of the North Star, with the military, and consequently it is not under my exact- province to report upon their proceedings ; but having wit nessed the exertions of the officers and men belonging to that distinguished corps on this occasion, I trust your Ex cellency will hold me excused for bringing the same t your notice.—l have the honour to be, &c., C. GRAHAM, Captain and Senior Officer at New Zealand. To his Excellency Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief, &c. &c. Admiralty, June 26. With reference to the above dispatches, the following naval promotions hare taken place, dated 11th Januaryv 1846: To be Captain—Commander George James Hay. To be Commanders—Lieutenant Robert Jocelyn OtßraY, Lieutenant Maxwell •Falcon, Lieutenant Charles Randle Egerton. Mr. William David Lock, acting mate, and Mr. Geore Don Murray, midshipman, will be promoted to the rr.nk of lieutenants, on their passing the required examina'dons to qualify them for that rank.

DEATH FROM BEING OVER- FED.—Yesterday an tal;- quest was held before Afr. W. Baker, jun., at the Globe, Goldsmith's-row, Shoreditch, on the body of Eliza Ann Elizabeth Storey, aged eighteen months. It appeared fror the evidence that on Tuesday morning the mother of tb 0 deceased while at breakfast gave her the yolk of two e!, , ,g 5, also a piece of bread and cheese, which she shortly ? L iter vomited. The deceased continued to get worse, ant/. ou Wednesday morning it was found necessary to send for Wallace, a surgeon in Hackney, but before he arrive d thcs child expired. • A post mortem examination was after ww,cds made, and Mr. Wallace stated that from the appearai 4e of the brain he should say the deceased died from convu' dons, arising from its, being over-fed. The jury returned a merdict to that effect. •t Aft %.."41' -4 Bail Bar Ber Cra Dic Dtu
