Should toetny's country a'efund in forage, the expense of q: ) Por tation will be greatly reduced; but the uncertainty p e h, rtA . the count r y to b e i nva d e d , and the still greater un aS to its resources, do not warrant deductions to tt', 4 ,te on the estimated items for supplie,, and the tra d n:- , h oti s i To of them to the places where they may . be nee d. a n 'the nao igation of the Rio Grande be found pm -440;•e for steam-boats •of • light -draught to •Camargo, or set "°°‘ °loch will be saved probably by the use of that river, At,iderable sums must be expended in the purchas e o f t , 7 'te• 1 4 tip f arther to be observed that no inconsiderable a moun t yetlte,expenses AVIIICh will fall on the quaitermaster's depart o 's ill the nature of an outfit, and would not be required `carepeated should the war be protracted beyond the next 4 tt ill Yelr The estimates in the quartermaster's department I st bed without much regard to the chances favourable to I ,lt r i,, l ed expenses.

Emilie Poncy, aunt of Miss Raney, of the Lower Town, is missing; the remains of a body, said to be a female, are supposed to be hers. The second is a Mr. M*Keogh, of Malbaie, a schoolmaster, who was in the theatre in company with Miss Poncy. We may here remark that Mr. Symes has in possession the several effects taken from the bodies, and found near them. We cannot refrain from expressing a passing meed of praise upon the unwearied labours of the Mayor, the military, the police magistrate, and the police force, and the several fire companies. Nor can we omit deserved tribute to the indefatigable Mr. R. Symes, who since daylight this morning, has been present at ie scene of the disaster, superintending the recovering and removal of the dead bodies, &c. The theatre, and stables adjoining, we should add, were burnt to the ground. INCIDENTS, &c., OF THE RECENT CALAMITY. It appears that Lieut. Hamilton, of the 14th Regiment, who perished in the flames, had attended the exhibition in company with Miss Ray, his betrothed bride, and her sister; when the flames broke out, he succeeded in getting the sister in safety from the building, and returned to seek his intended, when both of them thus miserably perished. Lieut. Armstrong, of the same regiment, saved himself by a desperate exertion of personal strength, having sprung up to a window, the situation of which he knew, and forced out a pane of glass, by which he obtained fresh air, and ulti mately succeeded in forcing his way through the window, escaping with only a few bruises. (From the Quebec Gazette.) The cause of the disaster is supposed to have been the falling of a camphine lamp, which set fire to the curtain in front of the stage. The only mode of egress was by a single narrow passage. Several families have been reduced to utter helplessness, by the loss of their stay and support. A subscription has been in consequence opened for the relief of those who have been rendered orphans and widows. The funerals of all the sullerers, except three or foar, took place yesterday. From an early hour in tke morning till seven in the evening, funeral processions were passing to the different places of interment. So melancholy a sight has not been witnessed in Qu,bec since the time of the cholera. At one time there were fifteen coffins in the French cathe dral, waiting for the last rites of the Church to be said over the mutilated remains contained in them. At the English burial-ground we observed four clergymen present, three EpiscopalLn and one Presbyterian, discharging the last sad duties of their office to members of their respective flocks. The Wesleyan Methodist ibinist er was likewise engaged during the afternoon in the performance of a similar duty. At a meeting of the Quebec bar resolutions were adopted, on the motion of the Hon. R. E. Caron and the Hon. T. C. expressinglheir profound sorrow for the death of their esteemed brother Alexander Stewart Scott, and their sympathy with his afflicted family. The remains of Lieut. Hamilton were interred with military honours. ELECTION Mo VEMENTS. TAUNTON. TAUNTON, FRIDAY, TWELVE, NOON.—This morning was appointed by the returning-officer as the period of nominatimi. The Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, accompanied by his friends, arrived at the husting s shortly after eight o'clock, and the usual pre liminaries having been gone through, the Right Honourable Gentleman was proposed by James Bunter, Lq., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Taunton in Parliament. He took occasion to advert to the connexion of Mr. Labouchere with the town, remarking that it had existed for sixteen years, and that he had had the pleasure of proposing him as a candidate ten times. T. WARREN, Esq., seconded the nomination. No other candidate being proposed, the Bon. Gentle- man was declared duly elected amidst loud acclamations. The Bight Hon. Henry LABOUCHERE then addressed the electors as follows—Gentlemen, I have waited to address you until I %as able to do so under that title and in that situation which I assure you I value beyond any other distinction in public life which it is pos- sible for me to attain—l mean in the character of rour representative.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, a seat La Parliament, when conferred by an inde- dependent and intelligent constituency, is to any Englishmen a matter of just pride—(Hear)—but s when conferred under circumstances like those which charac terise the present occasion, I conceive that distinction, valuable as it is in itself, greatly enhanced.—(Cheers.) I do not meet you on this occasion a stranger, nor ad dress you now for the first time. My excellent friend who proposed me to you, and by whose side I have had the satisfaction of standing ever since I came to Taunton, has reminded you that the connexion between us has now lasted for sixteen years, and that this is no less than the tenth time on which I have had to thank you kr returning me as ) our representative to the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, those sixteen years have not been unproductive of im portant political changes, and they have been marked by as great and important events as any sixteen years in the history of this country.—(Hear, :-.ear) You have had an cpportunity of observing my conduct under almost every variety of circumstance. I have stood before you when I belonged to a small and dispirited minority, and I Lave stood bet re you in the capacity in which 1 now stand again—us a servant of the Crown ; and you have had an opportunity of judging whether my principles, my conduct, and my language, have ever varied uttder ei:iier of those circu►uatuuces.—(Hear, hear.) My Hon. Friend has truly told you that the circiunstances of :he present election were peculiarly . gratifying to we. In canvassing on this occasion found that I have not lost a singlo Old friend, whilst, on the other hand, I acknowledge the gratification I have received from the universally kind reception I have met with, and that, too, in many instances from some who, from con,cientit,us motives, have hitherto felt it to be their duty to oppose me.—(Cheers.) Under these cir cumstances I may truly say that I shall return to the House of Commons with increased feelings o gratitude and fresh sentiments of pride with regard to my connexion with your town.—(Loud cheers.) I shall imitate the example of my friends who proposed and seconded me, in not addressing you at any great length; at the same time, however, I feel, that in accepting this renewal of the solemn trust placed in my hands, it is due both to you and to myself that I should make some observations.—(Hear, hear.) It is now five years since I last adddressed you as a candidate on these hustings. I was at that time a Minister of the Crown, but I did not long remain so. I believe almost the first vote which the House of Commons came to was fatal to the existence of that Government, in the ranks of which I served. Without any personal regret, certainly, I took my leave of office, and retired to do that which to my personal feeling is a far more agreeable, situation, that of an independent Member of Parliatnent.—(Hear.) But I am happy to say that the ♦ote of the House of Commons which struck down the Ministry of Lord Mel bourne did not destroy the principles which that Minis try advocated.— (Loud cheers.) And, gentlemen, I for one will acknowledge that I never had the slightest fear that it would produce that effect.—(Cheers.) I was thoroughly convinced from the best con sideration I could give to the interests of this great country, that those principles were founded in truth, and must ultimately and speedily be triumphant.—(Loud cheers.) I did not fear that those who succeeded us would follow any essentially different course from that which we ourselves had pursued ; and, accord ingly, although I have been nominally a mem. her of the Opposition, and sat on the oppo site bench( s to the Government of the day, yet there has been scarcely any important measure which that Government during those five years have brought forward which I have not by my humble vote contributed to support.— (Cheers.) Those measures were, some of them, measures of eelarged religious freedom—some ~ of conciliation and justice tolreland—some of them measures of free trade calculated to enlarge and extend the com merce of this country ; and the crowning measure of all has been that great measure which the assent of the Crown has just stamped with the authority of the law of the land—l mean the complete and final repeal of the corn - laws.--(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I can assure you—and those among you who know my private tastes and habits will bolitivo lu tlid bipooiitiof that amition--that no aye years Of my Parliamentary • life . : were ever • spent. with satisfaction equal to those during which, without the • • • toils, and. anxieties, and responsibilities of official life, I had the' satisfaction of seeing those principles for which I have always contended carried into execution; and also the gratification, by my huinble vote, of lending my best support.to their success.—(Cheers.) ; Gentlemen, the office to which the gracious favour of my Sovereign. has called Me is,' as you have been reminded by one of my friends, not the least responsible or' the least onerous of those which are uncertaken by the .servants of the Crown. I can assure you that, in taking my share of the Govern ment Of Ireland, labeept the office in no spirit of pre sumption with regard to my qualifiaction for the duty. This, at least, I trust I'niay 'say; that no effort on my part shall be wanting to fulfil those duties ; and if I shall be able to contribute, even in the sm..illest degree, to the happiness,. co •t. , iitinent, arid prosperity of that part of her M.tjese) 's ns, I shall look back to the day on which I took office as the happi: st and proudest of my lite.--(Cheers.) I trust that the little acquaintance which I possess with the local affairs of th it country will be compensated ir)y. finding myself sur rounded in the Administrati,n by Irishmen, long and intimat , , , ly connected with the affairs of that c untry, and deservAly respected by the inhabitants; and still more do I rejoice that I shall haVe to serve under a Lord-Lieutenant who has been fbr the grestest part of his life a resident landowner—(Cheers)—and who from his disposition and ability is, I am sure, eminently quali fied to carry into effect Viose gracious wishes and in tentions which it is well known her Majesty fuels in an especial degree towards that portion of her dominions. I trust that in the government of Ireland we shall be able to follow up those principles on which the govern ment of all free countries ought to be conducted—l mean, to support the law that it may be respected, and to improve the law that it' may be beloved.—(Loud cheers.) I can assure you I highly value the honour of repre senting so steady, so consistent, and intelligent a body of constituents. With regard to other political subjects, I do not know that I need trouble you 'by going fiato detail. I have always stood upon these hustings as a liberal candidate and a reformer.—(Hear, and cheers.) At the same time I have always told you that there is not a Conservative in this town or county who is more deeply attached than I am to the great institutions of this country, or who is more thoroughly satisfied that the true interests of the community - consist in our preserving and maintaining them unimpaired.—(Cheers.) But I believe, at the same time, that in order to maintain institutions unimpaired, it is absolutely necessary to take care that they du not stand in the way of all such im provements as may be required either . by the al tered circumstances of society, or by the in creasing intelligence of the age. I believe that Englishman is the truest Conservative, and best supports the institutions of the country,. 'who takes care that, there is nothing in-them which cannot be reconciled with great and necessary improvements. — (Cheers.) I love and reverence the mixed con stitution of this country, and if I saw the just prerogatives of the. Crown or . the just prerogatives of 'the peerage assailed, I would de fend them just as firmly as I would the rights and liberties of the Commons of England, to which I , belong.—(Hear, hear.) I feel it necessary to say this,' because I stand here on popular principles, and am surrounded by the friends of piipular principles in this town, and because I have lent my assistance to the furtherance of many measures which I trust and hope will have the effect of enlarging the liberties of the people, and extending wide the principles of reli gious liberty to those classes of my fellow-countrymen who may dissent from the Church of England—whether as Protestant Dissenters, or as Roman Catholic-- (Hear, hear, and 'cheers) —and have always felt it my duty in public life to do nothing which w ould shake those great fundamental institutions of the country — (Hear, bear)—on the contrary, those institutions have not a more sincere friend than myself,—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member again thanked them for the high honour conferred upon him, and retired amidst loud and pro longed plaudits. The Hon. Member was afterwards " chaired," a very' superb car, drawn by four horses, being used for the oc casion. DEVOINTOItf. RETURN OF SIR G EORGE GREY, BART. The nomination took place at eleven o'clock yesterday in front of the ToWn Hall. The only candidate was Sir a Grey, who is in high favour here, both for his popular manners, and his political sentiments. There was a capital attendance from Stonehouse, and the as semblage of burgesses was very numerous. The Mayor, Walter P. Blackmore, Esq., presided, and the usual formalities having been gone through, C. TRIPE, Esq., rose, and said he had great pleasure and gratification in rising to propose the re-election of Sir George Grey, both on account of his great talents and high moral worth—from his close affinity in blood to a name which would ever be held dear by Englishmen —and also because he had always interested himself in promoting the moral and physical welfare of the people ; end, above all, because he had been selected to fill the great and important office of Secretary of State. C. CITAPPLE, Esq., of Stonehouse, seconded the mo tion, and there being no other candidate the Right Hon. Baronet was declared to be duly elected. Sir G. GREY then returned thanks for the honour they had conferred upon him for the sixth time. Ho was the more gratified because that confidence was reposed in him after a long trial. It was their duty indirectly to influence the Legislature of the country by sending representatives to act in their behalf. After having adverted in pleasing terms to his connexion with Devon port ever since its enfranchisement, the Right Ron. Baronet proceeded to describe the course of events ever since 1841, with reference to the question of free trade, and to the gratification which he had derived in giving support to Sir Robert Peel in his free trade measures. Re rejoiced to see that the greatest unanimity prevailed amongst them, and he hoped that unanimity arose not from the accident of the absence of a candidate, but because there was far more unanimity of opinion as to the effects of free trade upon thinking men than pre vailed in 1841. Those principles were then disapproved of, and he was opposed by an honourable candidate, brother-in-law of the Prime Minister ; and he well remembered, that his friends approached those hustings with a large loaf and a small one—the large loaf representing, as it was said, the effects of protection, and the small loaf was a specimen of what they were to have under the operations of free-trade.—(Laughter.) This delusion has vanished, and when they sent him on that occasion to oppose the Government which was to be formed, and which was formed, he little anticipated that, before he should have to appear before them again, he should have become one of the most zealous and strenuous supporters of Sir Robert Peel, in his commer cial policy.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Baronet then; at some length, referred to the manner in which Sir Robert Peel had effected those great changes, paying hi m more than a passing tribute of praise for the course he had taken, and cordially joining him in his wishes that now these measures had passed there would be no more irritating discussions, and that the cause of jealousy and contention between those employed in the different branohes of industry having been removed, these dissensions will no longer prevail. The Right Hon. Gentleman did not a,lvert to any other question, and his speech in reference to the commercial legislation if the late Ministry was substantially the same as that which be m ide the previous evening. At the close, three the , rs were given for the Right lion. Baronet ; after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Mayor, and the meeting separated. very utmost of their power.—(Cheers.) There was another topic, which would at once suggest itself to the mindi of all present—a topic of most gave importance. The question of Ireland, he trusted he might say, was a temporary question; the object there was only to remove existing, and he hoped passing grievances, and to give just contentment to the people. The other questien he`would allude to was one of still higher and more permanent importance; it was, the condition of the people of this country.-,(Hear, hear.) It was on education and instruction only that the peace and prosperity, the wel fare and happiness of nations could be soundly based. It was lamentable to think, that not there alone, in the agri cultural districts, but in the more densely populated manu facturing districts, there were growing up every year vast multitudes of human beings with education, if any, most irn pei feet, in fearful ignorance of that knowledge upon which depends their welfare here and hereafter.—(Hear, hear.) This was a subject which would require the most anxious consideration of the present Ministry. He would not advert to other topics, but of this they might be assured, that the spirit by which the Government would ever be actuated was the spirit of progressive improvement—(Loud cheers) — of that progress which had hitherto been so impeded amongst us, but the development of which was essential to the happi ness and welfare, to the very existence of every civilised community. The progress made in the country since 1815 showed how much could be accomplished by a steady and persevering determination to improve, and would convince the electors that though the vessel of improvement may sometimes be turned from its course by the shock of adverse billows—though it may now and then swerve from its onward direction under the influence of battling gales, yet, nevertheless, it is guided by one more powerful than any among men.—(Loud cheers.) Steered by a sagacity far superior to any human resistance —(Cheers . )—and tbat in spite of the storms which it may encounter in defiance of adverse currents, and battling winds, it shall still, under the blessing of Providence, pursue its cer tain course to that final state of human improvement which lies far beyond the horizon to which our weak eyes can attain, and which will place human society in a condition of higher moral, social, religious perfection than the most san guine amongst us can imagine.—(Cheers.) It would be for the people to aid the Government in their efforts towards this glorious consummation ; the• Government itself, he would promise, would not be wanting in their share of the great work, though its progress against the infinite obstacles impeding it might not be quite so rapid as the people and the Government itself could wish, let not the people be sus picious of deferred intentions—intentions deferred only for the better accomplishment of the work in hand. The Noble Lord, in concluding, was honoured with a hearty nine times nine. A similar honour was acceded to Lord John Russell and the present Members. The large meeting broke up at one o'clock. partment, the items of which are in the p(!ssezision•of the Committee, is 56,024,800 65 The increase proposed in view of the exist ence of a state of war between this Go vernment and Mexico, is as follows: For the pay of the navy... ........ .....989,943 For provisions 217,394 1,207,387 00 The amount of the appropriations for the support of the marine corps, having refer ence to an increase of the number by 500, including a suitable increase of petty offi cers, is The amount set aside, by your direction, for the use of the navy department, from the special approbation of 110,000,000, was... 2,750,000 00 Aggregate amount of the appropriations for the naval service for the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1847 510,320,E93 65 This sum, it is believed, will enable the department to meet all probable requisitions upon it. Yet, if a contin gency- should arise requiring the employment of all the largest ships of war afloat, without a corresponding diminu tion of force in the use of the small vessels, there would be need of increasing the appropriations by eight hundred thousand dollars. But such a necessity does not at present exist, and the consideration of it may safely be deferred till the next set-sion of Congress. Transmitted herewith is a copy of a communication from the chiefs of the bureau upon the subject. I have the honour to be, Sir, Very respectfully, your obedient servant, To the President. GEORGE BANCROFT. 338,686 00 REPORT OF THE CHIEFS OF BUREAU. Navy- Department, June 5, 1846. Sir,—ln compliance with your directions, we have care fully considered the first paragraph of a resolution of the Senate of the United States, dated the 3d instant, so far as relates to the amount of money which may ba required for the navy before the close of the next fiscal year, and respect fully report as our opinion , : That if the amounts which have been estimated by the department for the current service of the next fiscal year shall be appropriated by Congress, those amounts, in addi tion to the sums which are now standing to the credit of the Navy Department on the books of the Treasury, will be suffi cient to launch and equip the sloops of war Albany and Ger mantown, to repair and equip all the vessels which are now launched, excepting the Franklin, and to employ so many of these vessels as can be manned with 10,000 men. With much respect,your obedient servants, C. MORRIS. L. WARRINGTON. JAMES SMITH. • GIDEON WELLES. Hon. Geo. Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy. LATEST COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, JUNE few days have elapsed since the sailing of the last regular packet steamer, that there have not been any great changes in the monied or business con cerns of the city. The fall of flour and produce to its present low point has caused some failures in that branch of trade, but in no other. _ _ _ Stocks have fluctuated very much, and although they have declined within a few days, they are decidedly improved since the Oregon treaty has been signed. All the Government and solid State stocks are very firm, and have rather im proved. The prevailing opinion is now, that if the Govern ment should issue proposals for a moderate loan, it would be reatiil3 taken up, at a very fair rate. For several weeks past there has been an active demand for vessels, and freights have improved. The numerous vessels arriving here with emigrants have found return car goes at good rates. Cotton, wheat, corn, and flour have been the leading arti cles shipped to England, and rye to the continent. Every description of vessels have been taken up. The demand has rather Slacked off within a few clays. Foreign exchanges continue to rule very much in our favour. On London, the rate may be quoted at from 107 2-2 to 108; an on Paris at 5.35 a 5.37 1-2, which is 1 per cent. in our favour. Should there be no rise on these rates, it will be for the interest of those engaged in remittances to import specie. Bills on London have been very abundant, particularly southern bills, which have sold even below our quotations. The remittance by this steamer will be moderate. The importations for the last two months have b?en very light, and it is probable will continue so until Congress shall dis pose definitely of the tariff question. The small receipt of goods is no doubt the great cause why bills on Paris and, London have ruled so low as they have done during the last few months. The crops of wheat and corn in almost all parts of the country look remarkably well; and, from present appear ances, the crop of 1846 will exceed that of any previous year. Tha harvesting in the south has become general, and no com plaints are made. In the middle States some complaints are made of an exce's of rain, which, nu doubt, in some of the v.h , at-growirg d stricts, has done a great deal of damage. Corn in the south is represented, so far, as very promising; but of the west and north nothing can be said, except that the crops look well. Oats, rye, and barley, all are in a for ward state, and promise the usual abundance. The United States will doubt have a surplus of grain sufficient to sup- . ply any increase of demand that may be made by an exten sion of the English market. Of the cotton crop there is little to say. LATEST FROM MEXICO AND THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION. Advices from Vera Cruz, to June Ist, have been received at Charleston, by the way of Havannab. The Consuls of the neutral nations, resident at Vera Cruz, had protested against the blockade of that port. The Mexican Congress met on the 27th ult., ex-President Bustamente being appinted President of the same. It is generally believed he will be elected President. It is said that Paredes will march over to Matamorax, at the head of a strong army, the largcst portion composed of the body of troops called the reserve. The time for his de parture with this army is already fixed, but has not been made public. General Bravo will occupy the presidential chair ad interim. . ..... The suspension of payments continued, and things gene rally remain in the worst condition. The Mexican Government had called a meeting for the purpose of procuring resources, which was believed could hardly be obtained, as the clergy are not able to pay the amount of 90,000 dolls. monthly, already demanded by the Government; and, on the other hand, the actual condition of the several States is not such as to expect from them any resources. New Orleans papers to the 10th instant have been received in this city, in which we find the following:— It is reported that Arista has sent a message to General Taylor, ordering him to retire to the east bank of the RiO Grande, or he would be compelled to drive him over. Our readers can believe as much of this as they please; we give the report as we find it in the Galveston Civilian of th. 6th instant. General Taylor's son has left New Orleans for Ma•am eras, with his father's brevet commission of Major-General. The lady of Capt. Page, who was so severely wounded at the battle of Palo Alto, arrived at New Orleans on the 9th, on her way to Point Isabel, to meet her husband. A letter published in the Delta from Pensacola, says, that it is reported that the condition of our squadron, in relation to that of the English fleet, which has been increased, is very precarious. It is also rumored that as soon as the English hear of the declaration of war again t Mexico, it will be the signal fur them to take possession of the whole Mexican coast; and that it is their intention to do so. If they do attempt it,look out for hard knocks. Alt hough Corn. Sloat's squadron is somewhat diminished by the return of old Ironsides to the United States, still he will, no doubt, when joined by Captain Stockton, give a good account of himself. Mr. Walker has issued orders to grant clearances to Mata moros, thus throwing open Northern Mexico to American manufactures. _ _ _ The New Orleans Tropic of the 15th inst. furnishes the following news trom the army : A letter was received yesterday by steamer Sea, which states that General Arista had s.-nt proposals to General Taylor fur a❑ armistice, and that he had established his head quarters at Monterey, with 15,000 men. General Taylor is said to have sent back in answer that he would meet General A. at Monterey. The Tropic says it has no doubt of the rumour. News is anxiously expected from Colonel Wil,on's expe dition to Reonosa ; as it is said that Canales and all his forces, amounting to from 1,200 to 1,400 cavalry, are concentrating there, and will no doubt show tight. Colonel Wilson's corn malt' amounts to about BJO men. By the arrival of the steamer New York at New Orleans, advicvs from Brasos S,ditiago to the 9th inst., at ha!f-past 10 A.M., have been received. We have Galveston papers to the 11th inst. The news of General Taylor's promotion to the grade of Brevet-Major General had diffused joy through all ranks in the army, and in the state of Texas. The de legation from the Louisiana Legislature was to leave Point Isabel on the 7th inst., on their way to Matamoras, to present the thanks of that uody to old Riugh-and-Ready. Th,re was a little sickness amongst our volunteers. diarrheas, ari-ir.g from the change of loud and contlitiLn of life; they will s. or., however, get inured. Texas has sent 2,400 men to Mexico. A pentleman largely concerned in business at Matamoras, direct from the latter-named place, represents that the news of the defeat of the Mexicans has spread a wonderful alarm in the interior wherever it is an nounced. It is also said that the Mexicans resolutely re fused to take strong arms against the Americans. CANADA. The Canadian papers express extreme alarm at the pros pects of the counA . y from the then threatened repeal of the corn-laws. The Governor- General's ministry appears to be all sixes and sevens, and a whole batch have resigned. It is said that Mr. Robinson is to be Chief Commissioner of Public Works. It is stated also that Sir Allen M'Nao is to be Adjutant-General ; Mr. Papineau has resigned. 'Air. Sherwood, late solicitor, has also resigned, and is to be suc ceeded by Mr. Boulton or Mr. Cameron. Mr. Moren is talked of as Sir Allan W.Nab's successor in the Speakership. There .is scareely anything as yet but rumour, as to those who are to occupy the place of those who are now resigning. The news of the settlement of the Oregon question was received with great joy in Canada. TERRIBLE FIRE IN QUEBEC. (From the Quebec Mercury, June 13.) Last night, at ten o'clock, a tire broke out in the Theatre Royal, St. Lewis-street, at the close of Mr. Harrison's exhi bition of his Chemical Dioramas. From the information we have been able to glean, a camphine lamp was overset from some cause or other, and the stage at once became enveloped in flames. In au incredibly short space of time the whole of the in terior of the building was enveloped in one sheet of flame. The writer of this article was one of the earliest on the spot, and present at the closing moments of the hapless be ings who perished from their over-exertions to escape. The staircase communicating with the boxes was a steep one, and we are of opinion it had fallen from the weight of those who crowded upon it. One toot was interposed between the hapless crowd and eternity ! and' on that space we, with five or six Others, stood, the fierce flames playing around us, and the dense smoke repelling all efforts to extricate us. As far back as we could see there was 4. sea of heads, of writhing bodies, ainl outstretcked arms. Noise there was none—but tew moans escaped the doomed. At the extreme end in view there were faces calm and resigned; persons who, from the funeral veil of smoke which gradually enshrouded them, appeared calmly to drop in o eternal sleep. By our side was one brother striving to extricate another, but abandonment was unavoid able. One poor creature at our feet offered his entire worldly wealVi for his rescue; the agonising ex p ress i on o f the faces before us can never be effaced from our memory. The flames at the time were above and around us—but human aid was of no avail—in five minutes from the time of which we make mention the mass of human beings who had but a short interval previous been in the enjoyment of a full and active life were exposed to our view a mass of calcined bones. Up to this hour 46 bodies have been recovered from the ruins! Most of them have been recognised. The following is the latest list of the sufferers:— Horatio Carwell, dry goods merchant—Horatio, aged 6, and Ann, aged 4, his children. Joseph Tardif. and Olivia Fleet, his wife. 54 - 411 Dazab,wifd of,Tolui CAgYiDi canoes * , GREENWICH. Notwithstanding the more immediate approach of the election, the want of excitement that has hitherto pre vailed still continues. There remains now no doubt that. Admiral Dundas will walk quietly over the course. It is rather remarkable that, though the Government influence is, and has been, very great in Woolwich and Deptford, the electoral inhabitants cf Greenwich alone have been always so exceedingly active in promoting the Liberal cause, as al most to insure the return of a Liberal candidate. Indeed, they have hitherto invariably succeeded in that respect, ex• cept on one occasion, when, under peculiar circumstances, Mr. Wolverley Attwood, a Conservative, was chosen the re presentative of the borough. He gained his seat through the influence of the Steam Navigation Company, to which he acted as chairman for many years, and the duties of which position he discharged so efficiently and zealously, as to gain for himself much popularity and confidence; thereby inducing the shareholders to exert all their energies in his llebalf. The return of Admiral Dundas, even though an opposition candidate should enter the field, will be ren dered doubly certain by the tact of having the influence of the,present Government in his favour. The nomination will, weunderstand, take place at ten o'clock on Monday morning, in order to enable the high-constable, who is the returning officer of the borough, to give in his return early enough on that day to admit of the Gallant Admiral's resuming his seat in Parliament on the same evening. Last night a meet ing of the electors was held at the George IV. Tavern, Wool wich, at which resolutions favourable to Admiral Dundas were agreed to. EVESHAM. FRIDAY.—The writ for the election of a Member in the place of Lord Marcus Hill, who, it has already been stated, has accepted the office of Comptroller of her Majesty's Household, has arrived here, and the election has been fixed for to-morrow. There is no show of opposition for this elec tion, but parties in this borough are much divided, and the representation has generally been compromised by each re turning its Member. The Tories, however, are now divided amongst themselves, some of them being friends of Mr. Burthwick, and another section favouring Captain Rushout. LICHFIELD. - ---- - FRIDAY.— The day has not yet been fixed for the election of a Member to supply the vacancy caused by Lord Alfred Paget's acceptance of the office of Clerk Marshal. The writ was received this mooning, and it is generally believed that Tuesday next will be the day of nomination, The Conser vative party are strong here, but it is scarcely probable that they will (supposing they are disposed) find a candidate to come forward on the present occasion, seeing that. there must be a general election before a very long period. Captain Dyott, the Conservative candidate in 1841, it is said declines to stand. It is expected, therefore, that Lord Alfred Paget will be re-elected without opposition. At the last general election the representation of the city was sharply contested, as will be seen by the following numbers at the close of the poll :—Anson ' Sir G. (L.), 381 ; Paget, Lord A. (L.) , 289 ; Dyott, Capt. ((3.), 281. In January last, Mr. Edward Lloyd Mostyn, a trustee of Lady Lichfield, succeeded Sir George Anson in the representation. LEITH. RETURN OF THE LORD ADVOCATE. LEITH, THURSDAY. —The election of a Member to represent the Leith district of burghs, vacant by the ap pointment of Mr. Rutherford to the office of Lord Advo cate for Scotland, took place here . to-day, at twelve o'clock. As there was no opposition, and as the Hon. Gentleman had, on the previous day, given a full expla nation of his political opinions, there was but a scanty attendance around the hustings. Mr. Rutherford was, however, most cordially received. After the usual pre liminaries, Provost HUTCHISON. nominated Mr. Rutherford. He eulogised the services of the Hon. Member in connexion with the local interests of the constituency, and then referred to his long and tried advocacy of the principles of free trade. If they were to search the whole kingdom for a Member, they could not find one that would attend better to their interests, or represent more fully their views on all matters of political economy. The Provost concluded by urging the unanimous re-election of Mr. RUtherford, in order to set an example to theconstituency of Edinburgh, who were.squabbling about religious mat ters, and threatening to oppose a most fit and admirable representative.—(Cheers.) Councillor SMART tecended the nomination. Mr. RUTHERFORD said it was unnecessary fur him, on such an inclement day, to detain them with a long ad dress, more especially after the explanation he had given in the different burghs; in all of which he had been most cordially received. Having congratulated them on the passing of the Corn Bill, he said it was important, in the present juncture, that those constituencies whose repre sentatives had been obliged to resign office in conse quence of their connexion with the new Administration, should not only re-elect them, but re-elect them unani mously, in order to show the faveurable opinion in which the Liberal party were regarded by the people of this country.—(Cheers.) The. SHERIFF then took a show of hands, when Mr. Rutherford was declared to be unanimously elected. After Mr. RUTHERFORD had returned thanks, a vote of thanks was given to the Sheriff, and the assemblage dispersed. EDINBURGH. THURSDAY NIGHT.--A meeting of the electors of Edin burgh was held to-day, at two o'clock, in the Music Hall, for the purpose of hearing addresses from Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Gibson Craig, prior to their appeal . to their constituency to be re. elected, in consequence of their connexion with the new Administration. The hall, which is calculated to accomo date about '2,000 people, was filled to overflowing. The Lord Provost was called to the chair. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen' and Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, the infant. Princess, and Prince of Leiningen, attended by Lady Caroline Cocks, Hon. Miss Devereux, Colonel Bowles, Colonel Arbuthnot, Lieut.-Colonel Symons, and Dr. Prcetorius, arrived at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, at half-past twelve o'clock on Thursday from town.. In the afternoon her Majesty and her Royal Consort, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, walked in the grounds, and the royal children rode out on ponies, There was no addition to the royal dinner party in the evening..

FRIDAY.—The nomination for the borough of Ply mouth took place to day, when the two candidates— Lord Ebrington and Mr. Vincent—were proposed. Lord Ebrington entered into a lengthened exposition of his principles, in the course of which he adverted to the part he had taken 'eith respect to free trade, and the policy which he considered ought to be adopted with respect to Ireland. Mr. Vincent also addressed the meeting, advo cating the entire abrogation of Church establishments— an exten , don of suffrage—the vote by bAlut—and the extension of the civil and religious liberties of the peo ple. The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr. Vincent. The greatest excitement prevails. TIVERTON. RETURN OF LORD PALMERSTON. FRIDAY.—The election for the borough of Tiverton took place to-day, when Lord Palmerston was returned without opposition. At half-past eleven -o'clock, the precept having been previously read at the Town hall, Lord Palmerston ap peared on the hustings, accompanied by a large body of his friends. The first thing done was a hearty three , times-three for the Queen, and the Mayor, Tucker, Esq., opened the proceedings of the day. W. HoLL, Esq., then proposed Lord Palmerston as a fit and proper person again to represent the borough in Parlia ment.—(Cheers.) Mr. ANSTEY seconded the nomination. No other candidate having been proposed, the Mayor de clared Lord Viscount Pa lmerston dul y elected. had W subsided, hen Lo r d PALMERSTON procee ded to address the electors.

He appeared before them in conse quence of having accepted an office which the grace and esau'elillelatar, hear)—and if the confidence of his Sovereign had been pleased to confer upon him. After commenting at some length upon recent occur rences, his Lordship concluded _by observing there was one peculiar circumstance connected with the existing state of things, that, for the present, there did not seem to be any other Government that could be substituted in their stead ; but this was not a ground on which any rational or honour ableGovernment would g :h — ifting quicksand, ',Cheers)—that Navtwashteiwhich attempt eNtt would a(t , ou gl would bdraossuoeii idnt rely se onil nei t cdn h hec e re i r the oh proceedings-Cheers)—that o —p crl was Government, however it might appear for the moment to be without a competitor, were so far to forget itself as not to bear.in mind that it was on the approbation and consent of the people of this country that it must rely for the con tinuance of its power, it would soon be hurled from its seat,_ (Cheers. ) He was sure that the electors would not expect him, that, on the contrary, they would think it highly im proper in him to enter into any explanation of the mea sures which the Government to which he belonged intended to propose to the Legislature.—(Hear, h ear. ) There were, existence x k ‘i i vns u ht however, one or two subjects W hich occupied too promi nent a place in public attention to allow him to pass them by without a remark. They were , questions in which the present Government took a oeeP interest. Ireland would suggest itself at once to the minds of all men as a subject which required the best energies of those who were entrusted with the administration o f this empire,e which required not only enlarged. views of public . P -1 icy, but a deep.arid un swerving desire to do justice, and on the part of those who supported the Government , zealous and determined co-ope ration—(Hear, hear.) He would abstain from going into the details of that complicated question, but the electors might be sure that there existed, not only in the mind of his Noble Friend at the head of the Government—a great and dis tinguished statesman, noble by nature as well as by rank— (Cheers)—but also, in the minds of all thoie who were asso ciated with him in office, a deep sense of their duties Worm-4 Ireland; and aim earnest PurPclo to Paw= those dutieg to the GAME LAW HUMANITY. On Tuesday, the, 16th ultimo, Frederick King, lace maker, of New Lenton, being out of work, went with his wife and family to find employment in haymaking; when he was near to the Trent side, a person, named Henry Cox, also of New Lenton,' gave him a shilling to swim across the Trent and assist him (COx) in finding a bag in an osier holt, not far from Boot's bank. King and Cox stripped and swam to the place, found the bag, and King returned with it ; immediately on his reaching the Nottingham side of the river, Mitchell, one of Sir Juckes Clifton's game-keepers, and his companion said, "we must have that bag." King replied, "it is not yours, and you shall not have it," at the same time giv ing his name and where he lived. He was immediately attacked in the most furious manner by Mitchell, who beat King so brutally with a thick stick on the head, arms, and other parts of the body, that persons who saw the attack ran to his assistance, being fearful that he would be killed. One of the persons who witnessed this savage attack upon a man—in a state of nudity, be it remembered—states, " the blood gushed out in tor rents ;" and King says, "I thought I was going to be killed, and called out murder.' " Mr. John Brown, lace-maker, New Lenton, states that he saw Cox and King in the Trent, and the keepers asked him what they were doing, and he told them bathing; he saw the latter come nut of the river, and Mitchell immediately commenced beating him with a stick, " as hard as he could." Murder being shouted, Brown ran to King's assistance, and asked the keepers what they were killing the man for, when Mitchell again struck King. In attempting to ward - off the blow he received it on his (Brown's) hand, which was severely hurt. George Brewill, butcher, of New Lenton, who also saw the attack upon King, says, " I never saw a man lose so much blood in my life ; I think if we had not inter fered King would have been murdered. After the keepers were gone I laid King on the bank ; he was very dozy, and complained of his head, which was badly cut; his arm was much swollen, and his knee severely injured. King's wife and three children were present, and terribly frightened." Being prevented from further beating the poor fellow by tho interference of the spectators, the cowardly keepers ran away, but, luckily, Mitchell was known, and we are informed that a true bill was found against him at the county sessions, on Monday week. We must not omit stating, that Mr. Edward Cox, of New Lenton, who was fly-fishing against Boot's bank, and saw the whole of this murderous attack, heard Mitchell say to the other keeper, when King and H. Cox were returning across the Trent, " Stick to me, and whether they have been netting or not, we will have the nets." Mr. E.

THE LABOUR MARKET in SOUEH AUSTRALIA. (From the Adelaide Observer, Feb. 7). Since our last report, under the date December 6, there has been no sensible diminution in the ratio of de mand for labour, although the continued arrivals from the neighbouring colonies, and those from Britain and Germany, have added some hundreds to the aggregate of our labourers and operatives of all classes. We have sought (with the intention of giving full publicity to them, if found) for evidences of repletion in any of the ranks of labour or employment, or of reduction in the, scale of remuneration ; but instead of such instances, we are told of some advances proportionate to the augmen tation in price noticed under the head " shoemakers ;" and although we seek and cordially invite information,. and are frequently obtaining from those sources which are least liable to perversions unfavourable to the work ing man, namely, from candid working men themselves, the only conclusion we can arrive at is, that there is yet room and to spare. BAKERS.-Many of the masters work for themselves, but such as employ journeymen, and usually engage the best hands, give as much as 245. per week and board. BRICKLAYERS are generally in full employment at ss. to 6s. per day, or in task work at the rate of lod. to ls. per yard for nine-inch brick work, labour only ; scaf folding not included. CABINET-MAKERS. - There are few journeymen re quired at present, the lesser masters working for them selves, being the principal operatives. The few per sons employed on task work jobs earn from ss. to 6s. per day. CARPENTERS ' wages ss. Os. to 7s. per day, according to ability, the highest quotation being for skilled as well as industrious hands. One report with which we have been favoured states, " a few unemployed ;" but as we have sought for such in vain, we conclude our informant should have written "a few keeping holiday." FARM LABOURERS are readily engaged at los. to 12s. per week, and weekly rations, consisting of 101bs. to 121bs. flour, 101bs. to 121bs. flesh meat, Vb. tea, and 21b. sugar.-From the urgency of the demands reported to us, as well as other facts, we believe agricultural em ployers will be found generally ready to afford every en couragement in their power to deserving persons. TOWN LABOURERS are still reported " rather scarce," at wages varying from . 18s. to 21s. per week. FEMALE DOMESTIC SERVANTS.-The demand for per sons of this useful class . may be inferred from the fact, that about sixty German female servants, who arrived last week per ship George Washington, met with almost immediate employment, at wages averaging ss. per week (with board and lodging of course) ' • and, although the difference of language is mutually felt to be a disadvantage, the new comers are in general much pleased with their engagements. English female ser vants who can be well recommended obtain Gs. to 75. per week, and in some instances even more. MASONS are well engaged at ss. to 6s. per day. MINERS are no longer satisfied to work "on owners' account" for less than 30s. per week, especially at any distance from town ; but the prevalent wish of this class is to be paced upon " tribute" or " tutwork," which is natural enough, when they know that some of their brethren are earning such splendid remuneration at the Burra-Burra mines. We purposely refrain from particular mention of unconfirmed reports of earnings in excess; but we believe we may say there are instances of some of the knowing ones among the miners getting a pound a day or more, in consequence of the great pro ductiveness of the workings. The number of practical miners being wholly insufficient, it has become necessary to render available ordinary labour to a very considerable extent. PLASTERERS experience no lack of employment ; but are generally engaged in task work, for which they often receive as much as Bd. to ls. per yard tsuper.) for three-coat work, including ceiling. This price, which is for labour only, and does not include anything but jour neymen's task prices, should (we are told) enable a steady workman of this class to earn 10s. a day besides paying his labourer. PAINTERS' wages 4s. to ss. per day. Present hands not so much in request as to offer inducement for any influx, either of prime workmen or daubers. PLUMBERS.-No more wanted at present. SHEPHERDS, 12s. to 15s. per week, according to ability, distance, and circumstances, with a full allowance of rations, and every encouragement to steady deserving men. Such as have wives calculated for a bush life often obtain but-keepers' pay and rations for them. Ordinary hut-keepers' wages are 7s. or Bs. per week, with rations. encouragements, and chances of promotion to the rank of shepherd, commensurate with their (bush) accom plishments. Sairrns are generally well employed, at 255. to 30s. weekly. The German blacksmiths, by the George Washington, found a choice of employers. SAWYERS are fully engaged, at 10s. per hundred feet (super.), for gum or other hard wood ; and at 7s. per hundred feet, for cedar .or deal. SHOEMAKERS have had a rise in price from ss. to Os. per " pair of men's." It is said clever and industrious hands may earn 30s. to 40s. weekly. SADDLERS seem to be generally in full employ, the highest wages of journeymen being 30s. per week. TAILORS.-Good hands seldom appear to be at a loss for want of steady employment, the country settlers and bushmen having found out the wisdom and economy of a good fit, suitable material, well secured buttons, and everything to match. The standard of wages 6d. per hour. TANNERS AND CURRIERS.-The highest wages we have heard of in these branches of trade are 355. per week.-We cannot learn there is any pressing want of fresh bands, but we have not for along time heard of one out of employ. TINMEN are fully employed ; but the masters, gener ally, are thorough workmen, and there are few journey men employed. For such as are so engaged, about 30s. per week, for first hands, seems to be the ratio of wages. TURNERS are not at present fully employed in their proper calling, but we have some clever hands who may look forward to an improvement of their business, when the diversity of material naturally produced here becomes duly appreciated. WHEELWRIGHTS well employed at from ss. to ss. 6d. per day. In conclusion, we again invite distant readers to com pare the current wages with the extremely moderate prices of provisions as published in our present impres sion; and we can only say,. further, we believe South Australia should be pre•eminently the country of the industrious man's choice, as well as the resort of some of the small and striving capitalits, who find it difficult to make progress in the artificial (whirligig) state of society so prevalent in the older countries of Europe. Ornia." WINCHESTER ASSIZES.—There are but eighteen pri soners committed for trial at these assizes, which commences on Monday next, the 13th instant. One for shooting with intent to kill, one for Post-office robbery, six for highway robbery, one for ar son , t wo f or h ouse breaking, one for an un natural offence, two for burglary, one for stealing a watch, one for concealing the birth of a child, and two for night poaching, being the lightest calendar known here for some years past. Notice has been given that Captain Hawkey till surrender to take his trial at these assizes, for killing, in a duel, Lieutenant Seton, at Stoke Bay, Gosport, about 14 months ago. At the County Sessions, which commenced yesterday, there are 39 male and 7 female prisoners for trial, 19 of whom can neither read nor write. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Yesterday, information was forwarded to the Metropolitan and City Police offices of the following outrage upon a young woman on the highway : It appears that on the evening of Tuesday last, the 7th inst., about ten &clock, a young female, named Sarah Fox, seven teen years of age, was proceeding along the road in the vicinity of Fishmore, near Ludlow, Shropshire, when she was met by a fellow, who threw her down, and, having succeeded in gagging her, tying round her mouth a pocket handker chief, inflicted a deep wound in her throat, as it is supposed, with a large pocket knife, threatening to murder her. She .. struggled violenly with her murderous assailant; and, ap proaching footsteps fortunately being heard, the fellow made off, and succeeded in effecting his escapa. A reward is offered for his apprehension. Mr. Cobden is, we understand, rusticating for a few (bpi in the rotoahtie-,..cently of North Wake. We hopit-he lay rem with Mowed health and vigour. .:.

Intelligence respecting a fearffil 'or Brussels curred on the Great North of France Raih iv city of Brussels by the train from Paris, six o'clock on Thursday morning. ages lt l a e p ft pe p a comprising twelve or fifteen carriages at an early hour on the previous day, and p; ° Ceeded without the slightest obstruction or accident, at the on,. inure rate of speed, until it arrived at a portion of the line betw;en' the stations of Arras and Dopey, where the railway crosses • a river or pond. When the engine and train reached the ' centre of the bridge, from some cause yet undiscovered, al though every possible exertion has been made to ascertain it, the engine ran off the rails, broke doNvn the parapet wall of the bridge, and was precipitated into the' Water. The engine dragged with it the tender and two carri.: ges. Fo rtunatel y the connecting chain between those .v,-..hicles and the third carriage became dissevered by v i c ,:ence of the shock,' and thus the remainder of the carriages, , likh were crowded with passengers, escaped total demolition. B y this dreadful accident at least nineteen lives ;have been :OS oat. ,v eluding those of the stoker and driver of the engine; " far as could be ascertained amid the consternation which en sued, there is too much reason to believe that fifty or six. 47 individuals have been seriously injured. It is said that the' engine, at the time of the disaster, was not proceeding at a greater speed than fifteen miles an hour, and it is in a great measure owing to this fortunate circumstance that the sac& fice of human life was not of a more appalling nature. As might naturally be expected, the intelligence of this ca tastrophe created the most painful sensation in the city of Brussels, but more especially among the English resideics there. The North of France line was opened to the public about four weeks ago by the King of the Belgians, and up to the occurrence of the accident which has been attended with such deplorable and melancholy results, the trams ran regularly each day, at intervals of two or three hours;. without the slightest interruption, owing to the excellent< and judicious management of the company, and the strict surveillance exercised by the subordinates of the French. and Belgian Governments, representatives from whom im mediately proceeded to the scene of the calamity to obtain accurate information respecting the cause and extent of the accident. CALIFORNIA. (From the Augsburg Gazette.) War has now indeed broken out, and will in no small degree tend to hasten the dissolution of the Mexican union. Texas has broken her connexion with her own hand ; for a few years she formed an independent state, but now the "lone star" has been added to the star spangled banner of the Union, and stands beside jts. brethren in the American firmament. California, with.; its luxurious pastures and magnificent harbours, hangs but loosely on Mexico, from whose hands it is, as it were, gliding -away. Year after year stream shoals of adventurers into this neighbour land of Oregon ; and on the shores of the Pacific are now being repeated exactly the same scenes and events that took place two. and twenty years ago in the Gulf of Mexico amid the rolling Savannahs of Texas. The appearance of. Graham and the German adventurer Sutter has a striking resemblance to that of Stephen' Austin and David Crockett in Texas, and the consequences are declaring themselves in California the sane as in Texas., In order to attract continually fresh streams of immi grants into the country, the Americans already settled in California are sending the most alluring d e xription to the States. And, inched, Upper California (the op posite peninsula is a desert, wordless, and water less place) is one of the most splendid tracts of land in ti:P world. Its situation on the Pacific Ocean will the morel hasten the future prosperity of this American conquest, inasmuch as the magnifieent harbour of San Francisco scarcely has its equal. The people that understand how to avail themselves of the advantage of the coast between there and the no less important Puget's Sound will be the masters of this great ocean, and give laws to the Chinese as the English now do. The climate is mild and everywhere healthy, the soil of as yet virgin fertility, and where unfit for arable, possesses such luxurious pastures, that already . the inhabitants, in order to prevent the immo derate increase of the herds of wild cattle, have been compelled to slaughter many thousand head of steers and cows en masse. California possessing far more con ditions of extensive development within itself than the relatively poorer Oregon, is therefore much more Im portant than this latter * * Continuous or determined resistance on the part of the Mexican Go vernment is not to be apprehended by these new con quistadores; in no case will they fear it. The native whites are few, they certainly do not exceed fifty or sixty thousand ; the Mexican President resides several hun dred miles from Monterey ; California owes gratitude neither to him nor any one else ; not a small portion cherishes the same wishes as the Americans ; foreign interference is not, however, to be accepted ; and thus in this state of affairs, we see nothing to oppose the formation of a free and independent " Republic of Call- THUNDER-STORM. Another thunder-storm burst over the metropolis yesterday afternoon. Its influence was felt, more or less, in all parts of the town and its neighbour hood, but the storm seems to have burst with the greatest violence in the region of Finsbury. The lightning struck down a man in Milton-street, near the late City Theatre, and also severely damaged a house in Wilson-street, occupied by Mr. Lyons, fur dealer, displacing an angular abutment and knocking over four chimney pots. The rain by which the lightning was accompanied will prove of great advantage to the agriculturist and gardener. - HIS HIGHNESS IBRAHIM PACH.L.—Yesterday morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, the Pacha, accompanied Ily . Col. Bonfort and M. Nubar, and attended by Major Dickson, left Mivart's Hotel for Stockwell-park, there to inspect the ex tensive racing stud belonging to Mr. Theobald. His High ness and suite, on their arrival, were received by the pro prietor. After inspecting the arrangements, he departed on his return to his hotel. The Pacha and party were caught in a heavy storm, and were obliged to dress again before lun cheon. In the afternoon, his - Highness proceeded to Apsley House, to visit the Duke of Wellington, but the Noble Duke being absent from home, the Pacha merely left his card; he then visited the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Minto, the Earl of Clarendon, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount Morpeth, and several of the Ministers of State. A deputation of the. Aborigines Protection So ciety had the honour of waiting on his Highness to present an address from that association, as it stated, for " promoting the safety, welfare, and improvement of the native inhabi tants of the dependencies of the British Empire." The Pacha received the deputation with marked courtesy. His Highness subsequently gave an interview to Mr. Henry Smith. THE COLLOSAL WELLINGTON.--A scaffolding of great strength has been erected on the east side of the arch way at Hyde Parkcorner, and the preparations seem nearly t r i i o p o e . for T r h a e is t in ra g n t s h p e or p t o annddereolusevamtiaossn of to it t it w s i i l l l l will need Much care and Skill A corresponcle bc n eh t °ds t iffie e n li c s udl u ets s ::i t an h na a ci t the carriage on which it is to be moved is twenty-four feet in length, the axle thirteen feet 'four inches, with a circumfer ence of thirty inches; the wheel s are ten feet high, or thirty one feet six inches in circumference, four in number, and weigh two tons six cwt. each, or nine tons. The castings are at present in the pit, and " a long pull, a strong pull, and.a pull altogether," will be needed even to lift them thence.. Go vernment, it seems, is lending a band to the work. An eminent contractor estimated the cost of carrying the cast ings from the artist's studio to the arch, and hoisting them (in three pieces—to do it whole he was not disposed), at 1,800/. What the operation is actually to cost we do not know.—The Builder. Prince Borghese, accompanied by the youthful princess, grand-daughter of the Earl and Countess of SieyewsintrYe arrived at Mivart'a Hotel on Thursday night, from Rome, and will shortly go on a visit to the Earl and CounteN of Shrewsbury, at Alton Towers, Staffordshire. HANDSOME DONATlON.—Yesterday the Hon. Edwin Lascelles forwarded the sum of 1001. in aid of the funds of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, the western wing of which has just been erected at Brewton, with a view to the speedy removal of the patients from the Hospital at Chelsea, SEAMAN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY. —On Friday the quarterly general court of the supporters of this charity was held at the office, King William-street, City. The treasurer, John Labouchere, Esq., presided. The report for the past quarter announced the receipt of nine hundred. dollars, or 'lB7l. 10s. English money, from Keying, the' commissioner of the Chinese empire, which sum was for waided to the funds of the hospital by his Excellency, itz return for the aid afforded to the sick and destitute Chinese sailors.

HIS GRACE THE DUKE of WELLINGTON AND THE DISTRESSED NEEDLEwoMEN.—Yesterday Mr. Roper, secre tary to the Society for the Protection of Distressed Needle women, waited upon Mr. Norton, at Lambeth Police-court, to obtain the address of the unfortunate female who bad been charged before him on Wednesday last with unlaw fully pawning some coats which had been entrusted to her to make by a slopseller in Aldgate, who allowed her only a shilling apiece for making them. Mr. Roper said his object in getting the address of the female Craig, whose case appeared in the newspapers, was for the pur pose of making the necessary inquiries into the whole of the circumstances connected with it, with the view of affording all the protection and assistance on the part of the Society that could be found justifiable. After some conversation with the magistrate, Mr. Roper stated that in the course of his inquiries he had found that soldiers' great coats were made up at as low a price as five pence a-piece. Feeling that this was too low, particularly for Government contracts, he wrote to his Grace the 'Duke of Wellington, as being at tile head of the army, on the subject. but his Grace declined to interfere. Mr. Norton—What was the purport of the Duke's answer ? Mr. Roper-e-It was in his Grace's usual laconic terms, anti ran thus :—" F. M. the Duks of Wellington begs to inform Mr. Roper that he has nothing to do with making great coats for the army." Mr: Roper added that he had made a communication to sir James Graham on the subject of making up slop and needlework in prison, and the Right Hou. Gentleman had assured him it should be discontinued. THE NEW POPE.—Letters in the German journals agree with those which reach us from Rome in bearing testimony to the popularity enjoyed by the new pontiff. All the persons who have had the honour of approaching the holy father sneak with admiration of his affability and pro found knowledge of men and things. lie continues to give every day audiences to all who present themselves. In one of these audiences he conferred the cross of the order of St. Gregory on Professor Betti, secretary of the Academy of St. Luc; known so honourably by his work " Italia 'lustre.' The Pope has taken for his private secretary the Abbe Graziost, his ancient preceptor. At Sinigaglia, his birth place, in , the rpidst of the, demonstrations of joy which his elevation has ealled,fnrth, a society has been formed to raise a statue to him, and to restore an ancient aqueduct - ft . ?r furnishing water to the town, and to call it " Acquapia,' , i! alliioon io. his name of 'Pius.
