We have perused this vaunted oration, and feel that we should be guilty of to remedy the evil. The books of the tax-gatherer and rate-collector are closed on the 20th of July—a fad of which we here beg leave to remind our readers— and for those whose names are not found written therein, there is no admission to the register. A moment's reflection is all that is necessary to convince any man who will be convinced, that the payment of rates and taxes is a matter entirely between the payer and the collector. If arrears accumulate it is obviously the fault of the latter, whom the law has armed with full power to recover the amount from the defaulter. The sole qualification intended by the Reform Bill was the occupation of a house not under 101. of annual rent, and whoever is in possession of this title, has a bona fide right to vote for a representative in Parlia ment. That is the spirit of the Act, which, in the case before us, is completely sacrificed to the letter. It cannot be maintained by any rational man that the rates and taxes are part of the qualification, though that was the only argument brought forward by Lord RE DESDA LE for throwing out the Bill, because, were it so, the qualification, as far as the taxes on which it depends are concerned, would be done away with by their repeal—which we trust is not a distant event— while as regards the Poor -rates, it:would oscillate as they increase or diminish, instead of being fixed and sta tionary, as the Tories are always exclaiming it ought to be. The law, as we said before, has provided a re medy for default in those payments. Let this re medy be applied, and if the elector is not in the station, as to property, which the Reform Bill intended him to be, he will be obliged to quit the house, whose attendant expenses he cannot sustain, and to occupy one more suitable to his means. Thus all evasion of the 101. qualification will be completely prevented, and the Reform Act rescued from the op probrium of being the screw of the tax-gatherer. But it is to the moral to be drawn from the con duct of the hereditary House of Legislature that we would chiefly direct the attention of the coun try. We see, from the spirit of the proceedings in that House last night, that it is as determined as ever to resist every thing that wears the form of justice to the people. The measure which the Lords rejected last night did not, be it observed, repeal the rate-pay ing clause. It was of a far humbler character. It merely threw back the payment from the sth of April to the sth of October preceding ; thins relaxing a little the rigour of the enactment by a few months of grace. But it would have, in some degree, extended the franchise in practice, and here lay ho ... .. „, o ratter. It i in tw e a to a rCTs ai N n v s a k s directed. liberal It w its tendency a t hat toe Ibecause a popular rie.t., %bat lt-re-ctived its s death-blow at their hands. Let the Reformers of Great Britain bear this in mind, when they go to the non at the approaching election. Let no man flatter himself with the delusion that the Lords are a bit more disposed to yield their opposition to liberal mea sures, during the present reign, than they were during the last. They hate everything that smacks of liberty with a most perfect hatred ; and unless the Reformers exert themselves with all their might--unless they return to the next Parliament such a majority as shall make the Lords look to their coronets, it will avail no thing that our youthful QUEEN has been educated in the school of Reform, and is embued with a sincere desire to extend its blessings to the nation over which she reigns. Hcr MAJESTY will be unable to carry her gracious inten tions into execution ; and we shall continue in the same state of hereditary obstruction as to national improve ment in which we have been for some time past. A large majority in the next House of Commons, we repeat, is the only thing that will keep the Lords in awe. We believe we may congratulate Sir ANDREW AGNEW—which we do with a sincerity that cannot fail to gratify his benevolent feelings—on the flattering prospect that exists of his retiring, at the end of the present Session, into the calm bosom of domestic feli city. Mr. MURRAY of Broughton has announced his intention of opposing him for Wigtonshire ; and as this gentleman is a firm, zealous Liberal, well known to the elector:J, and much respected by them, we enter tain little or no doubt that he will succeed in relieving th lion. Baronet of those worldly senatorial duties which must long have weighed, like a heavy burden, on his apostolic spirit. If Sir ANDREW has any sense of gratitude—if a familiar acquaintance with the Savings of a sinful Parliament, and the Doings of a sinful generation, have not made him callous as the nether millstone to friendly and affectionate impressions—he will not fail to appreciate properly the kind intentions of Mr. MURRAY ; for conceive what a satisfaction it must be to one of his way of thinking, to be enabled henceforth to pursue his pious meditations uninter rupted ! We always liked Sir ANDREW. There was an airy sportiveness in his manner—a jocund vivacity in his " Divinity Lectures" in Parliament, which were invariably characterised by an utter abhorrence of cant and fanaticism—and; above all, a winning grace of style, and unpretending sim plicity of spirit in his Sabbath Bills, that made us love him, despite his Toryism. While, there fore, on his own account, we congratulate the Hon. Baronet on his inevitable retirement into private life, we bewail it most bitterly, so far as we ourselves are con cerned ; for who shall compensate us for the loss of those dazzling flights of evangelical eloquence which electri fied the Senate, and brought conviction to the minds of all who read them ? Will a Twiss or BORTH.. WICK, or even a SIBTIIORP, recompense us for the retirement of an AGNEW ? Alas ! not so. But granting that it were possible, still thes e great Parlia mentary luminaries would have no opportunity of af fording us this desirable compensation, for--Heaven knows with what anguish we record the fact !—they are themselves on the eve of extinction. Yes, they are destined, in a few weeks, to follow the Wigton shire Baronet into the privacy of domestic life ; for they, like him, have their considerate MURRAYS of Broughton, who are willing—nay anxious—to relieve them of the labour - Jaf Parliamentary attendance, and are morally sure of success.

In the House of Lords, yesterday afternoon, some Bills were advanced a stage, and several, as will be seen by our Parliamentary report, were read a third time and passed. The Bill for levy►ng duty on Sugar made from Beet-root, after a few words deprecatory of its principle from the Egli of RiroN, was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Lor►l DUNCANNON having moved the second reading of the Parliamentary Electors Bill ; an interesting deb-Ito en sued, followed by a division, occasioning the loss of one of the best Bills sent up by the Commons. 'File discussion and its result are both deserving of notice, but the dis• tinctness with which Lord BROUGHAM avowed his senti ments upon the subject of progressive reform, in opposition. to the finality-measure-men, cannot be too highly v;;:itied or too much praised. He begged to tell their Lordships " That neither he, nor those with whom he had acted, in bringing forward the Reform Bill, had cons id ere d t h e Reform Bill as a final measure. T;►ere was no such thing as a final measure in legislatir.g, upon Bills, or anything else : there was nothing ;:-.) human nature that could be considered perfect awl. final." There was a good deal of desultory discussion on the Poor Laws. The Bishop of EXETER, who took a promi nent part in the conversation, drew doo n upon himself a courteous but a rather cutting rebuke from Earl RADNOR and the Duke of RICHMOND. The Right Rev. Prelate, on a former evening, had made a statement founded upon a letter, a part of which only he read, omitting that portion which - militated against his argument. The Central Criminal Courts' Bill was read a third time and passed, as was also the Burglary Laws Amend ment Bill, after the clause had been struck out which enacted that offences hitherto capital, but on which the capital punishment had beer. remitted, should be sent, not to the Quarter Sessions, but before the Judges, for trial. In the House of Commons, there was considerable dis cussion on the question of the Standing Orders. An im portant res&rution, moved by Mr. P. THOMPSON, was car ried without a division, and the remaining new Standing Orders were also agreed to, Lord JOHN RITSS:i. L L then intimated that, disapproving of a clause intro•lneed b y A n - • the other House into the Eccle siasticalocontment Suspension Bill, he should tomor row tnov:-: that the House do disagree with it. The President of the 'Board of Trade, in answer to a question by Mr. HEATHCOTE, stated that be had not ceased to press on the French Government the advantage that they would derive from the reductioa of the duty on English wool, as well as other duties ; but his exertions bad not hi therto been attended with the success that he could wish. He would only add, that he would continue to exert him self to instruct the French Government on this point, s o AS to induce them to adopt a wiser system of commercial policy, A message from the Lords desired a Conference with the Commons on the subject of the amendments made by the Lords on the amendments of the Commons on the amend ments of the Lords to the Municipal Corporations Eng land Act Amendment Bill. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the reasons were ordered to be taken into con sideration to-morrow. _ The Lords, who have on so many occasions proved themselves adepts in the use of the bowstring when a popular measure was to be dispatched, last night en joyed a . deliciOus treat in the strangulation of the Ptyliarti*Oy Electors Bill.

For point and argument, it substitutes the tawdriest and most puerile metaphors ; such as a schoolboy might be ashamed Of, Lora Lot nrrON was never at any tittle remarkable for his oratorical powers : but we know not that he has ever made so ridiculous a diBplav as iti this pitte of " nnel'i ;eitSonea eloquence," which tells 1 us nothing but that Sir ROBERT PEEL is a consum -1 mate Statesman, and that Lord MELBOURNE'S Ca binet is about as bad as it is possible for a British Ca binet to be. ut-. ATTwoo:has given notice that he will this eveninff, demand of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, in his place in Parliament, whether or not it is their deter mination to allow Russia to conquer, or possibly ex terminate the Cirewittils ; and thus to get possession of a country which would give her unlimited influence, and ultimate dominion over Turkey and Persia, and all the countries of the East ? What answer Mi nisters will return to this question, or whether they will answer it at all, is more than we shall pretend to de termine but of its importance the following letter from Constantinople, dated the 21st of June, extracted from the columns of a Ministerial Morning Contem porary, must convey to the people of England the strongest assurance. We cannot believe that Lord PALMERSTON is ignorant of the Russian warlike preparations, of which it purports to give the sub stance ; and to suppose that a British Minister could be indifferent to them would be to suppose him a fool, a madman, or a traitor to his country : CONNTANTINOPLE, JUNE 21.—Accounts were received here at the end of last week from Odessa and Taganrok, according to which it appears that the Russians, outwearied at length by the tedious and harassing nature of the warfare they have been carrying on for the , last twenty-five years against the Circassians, are now determined to make a last and mighty effort to overwhelm and crush this brave but un fortunate people by moving upon them with such a force as will render further resistance useless. For this purpose they have assembled a body of troops, amounting to 62,000 men, in three divisions, which are simultaneously to enter the country as follows :—The first division, consisting of 28,000 men, which is to be commanded by the Emperor in person (the object of whose intended visit to his Caucasian provinces is not, if seems, of quite so pacific a character as was assigned to it by the Augsburg papers), will move from the side of the Kouban. The second division, 14,000 strong, will move from Sokoumkale on the coast ; and the third division, 20,000 strong, under command of General Rosen, will move from the side of Georgia. The provisions and munition de guerre for these troops are to be supplied by sea, and a great number of transports have in consecjuence been taken up, both at Odessa and Taganrok, for a period of four months, at 5,000 roubles a month. With such a powerful force as this in movement against them, it must naturally seem that further resistance on the part of the Circassians can but lead to a useless shedding of blood, since their final destruction must be inevitable, unless they arc assisted by other powers. The Russians, will, however, find Circassia by no. means an easy conquest. They will now have to carry a war into the very heart of a country inhabited by a race of hardy warriors, whose desperate valour bas already so often spread terror and devastation among their ranks, and who, in their last struggles for their liberty and religion, will dispute tlio ground with them inch by inch, in a country by nature so mountainous and rocky, and where the means and facilities of transport are conse quently so few, as will render the keeping of a large a body of troops regularly supplied with provisions both a difficult and dangerous operation, and where the instinctive hatred of the peasantry to the, very name of Russians is such, that the poorest among them would rather destroy every thing he possesses, than leave it to the chance of falling into their hands. The Russian troops are, moreover, not yet accustomed to intricate dangers, or the fatigues and hard ships of a mountain warfare ; their operations against the Circassians have hitherto been confined to the plains of the Kouban, or the neighbourhood of their fortresses on the coast where abundant space existed for the deployment and evolu tions of regular troops, and where they could always be powerfully supported by their artillery ; and even then, with the advantage both of numbers and discipline, they were most frequently obliged to retire before the fierce assaults of the Circassians. if they so fared in the plains, what will it not be among the narrow passes and over the craggy tops of the mountains, where they cannot carry their artillery with t t lptk a Tipsig rusT i E jtv vi cct z iclics , w)11 no longer avail them tunity to irregular troops, who are all well actin:amen-Ims_ 5.....a5k them to advantage, and to harass and annoy their march without being tbuutaelves exposed. But notwithstanding all these and many other difficulties, which the Russians must have to encounter in this campaign, it is to be feared that in the end they will be but too success ful. The greatest efforts of the Circassians unassisted will not enable them to hold out much longer; their num bers have gradually thinned from the long continuance of the war, many of their bravest chiefs have fallen, and many have been made prisoners; they are much in want both of arms and ammunition ; and from having so long looked for ward with anxiety for assistance, which was never to come, they are now growing sick at heart at seeing their hopes dis appointed, and their spirits are fast sinking. Under these circumstances, it is impossible that they should long be able to make head against a power so far exceeding their own, both in numbers and physical strength. Superior force must at length prevail ; and, though never subdued, they will be obliged to submit to the will of the conquerors, and the once independent Circassia will become a province of the vast Northern Empire. Circassia, added to the Rus sian dominions, she will now possess the whole country between the Black and Caspian Seas, and nothing now re mains to impede her further advancement either into Turkey or Persia. Mingrelia, Immeritea, and Georgia are already hers, and Armenia must soon become so, and her gigantic arms outstretched will then include within their grasp nearly the whole of the now diminished Ottoman Empire. With the conquest of Armenia our trade with Persia, by that route, must instantly cease ; Trebizond, instead of becoming the entrepot of our commerce with that country, will be con• vested into a harbour for Russian men-of- war, and all the ports of the Black Sea will then be shut against us. The conquest of Persia will next follow ; our Indian territorities will be threatened; and the Euphrates, the navigation of which we have been taking so much pains to accomplish, will be a ready means at hand for transporting troops to be used against us. This, however, has been sufficiently often pointed out by much abler writers to render it unnecessary for me to en ter further upon it. The eyes of England must now be opened to the truth ; she must see the risks she is incurring. Let her now look to it when next she talks of the balance of power. One half of the assistance she had rendered to Spain would have enabled the Circassians to hold the Russians in check, and hare averted those fatal results ; but it is now too late, England has acknowledged Russia's right to the country, the act is her own, and she must submit to the consequences. The Exchange this afternoon has again risen to 115, and is expected to go still higher. The state of trade here shows no signs of amendment ; but freights having risen enormously in the last few days, owing to the number of ships taken up by the Russian Government in the Black Sea, and a great number of ships that had been lying here for some time wait ing for freight have now gone to Odessa as transports. The Empress and all the Imperial family will, it is said, come with the Emperor as far as Odessa, to share in his Circassian triumphs. LAST PRICES. Five per Cents., 1101. arc.

The Chamber of Accusation of Paris has decided that the author, editor, and printer of a work recently publishel, entitled, " De la Vielle Europe, Des Rois et des Peuples de Notre Epoque," shall be jointly and severally prosecuted for libel at the next Assizes. The author, General DONNADII3I.I, employed M. ALLARDIN, one of those men of letters that are to be found in dozens in every corner of Paris, to lick into shape the half-formed offspring of his re flections upon the past and present state of King-be stridden Europe. The publisher of the Quotidienne will be tried at the same time, for having insetted some extracts from M. DONNADIECS work in that Journal. When these extracts appeared in the Quotidienne some two or three weeks ago, the whole impression of the Paper was seized at the Post-office by order of the Prefect of Police. On Tuesday the Chamber of Peers, after a long discussion, formally passed the Sugar Bill. A division being called for there appeared 80 votes for the mea sure, and 38 against if. By the provisions of this Bill a duty of fifteen francs per hundred killogrammes is imposed on all beet-root sugar manufactured in France after the Ist of January, 1838. Some of the Peers contended that it would be better to equalize the duties between the home and the Colonial sugar growers by lowering the rate of duty on Colonial sugar, instead of imposing a tax on the beet-root extract; but to this Ministers answered that the beat-root growers would prefer the payment of a low rate of duty to the making of any concessions in favour of tie colonists. The Minister of Finance went still further. He con tended that high taxes tended to develope the industry of a country—that their reduction diminished rather than increased consumption—and that in fact a love of taxation and a love of country were synonymou s i n th e opinion of every distinguished Minister.

The following correspondence of the Constitutionnel from the frontier of Spain contains the latest news from the theatre of war in that country PAMPELt'NA, JULY 5, A.M.—General Espartero has re sumed his march, ilia tAnguard) commanded by Brigadier- General Alcala, entered the valley of Mena, !ti Castile, yes terday. The Marquis of La Ribicra, with his squadron, joined the army of the North at tiara. The General-in- Chief is now, therefore, at the head of 11,000 men, including 2,000 excellent cavalry. At Torlosa he will join the 9,000 men of Baron de Meer. The reports from Oraa received to-day arc satisfactory. That General occupies Teruel, Mitsui ' and Li,„srulsa. Borso, with the Belgian legion, after baring driven bach the bands of Cabrera, joined the General on the 2d. The Pretender is at Cantavieja,and his advanced posts at Mosqueruela. Ile dares not advance. His troops are demoralised, and in want of every thing. He will soon be surrounded by an army of 40,000 men if be does not resolve either to advance or retreat. The march of Baron de Meer to Taregara, was pre vented by the General-in-Chief, as I told you In my last let ter but one ; it was a precaution that the Pretender might not be able to return the way he came, and it was good, for he will now be obliged to engage in a battle in a more open position, where the Queen's cavalry will be able to act. If this plan has been previously arranged with Espartero, we must excuse his slowness and his hesitation. Buerens left Saragossa on the 3d, and is marching to join Oraa. In all probability there will be a general action before the 10th. Iriarte is at Puente la Reyna ; he has placed three battalions and 100 cavalry to intercept the communication between the garrison of Estella and the Carlists, who occupy Lecumberry.—Constitutionnel , July 12. Colonel Chesney has arrived at Marseilles in the Dante steam-boat, and is :to perform twenty days' quarantine. He comes from India, and crossed the Great Desert from the Per , sian Gulf to Damascus on dromedaries in seventeen days. He is in good health. Tranquillity has been re-established in Hernani. Most of the ringleaders in the late insurrection have fled. General Count MIRASOL has reached Bayonne, and declares that he will not again enter Spain. Ge. neral HENDON died of his wounds on the 6th at Her nani. The Pretender continues inactive at Cantavieja. Colonel CHESNEY, Commander of the Steam to India expedition by way of the Euphrates, has arrived at Marseilles. He crossed the great Arabian desert in seventeen days. The Gallant Colonel is in good health, and is at present detained performing quarantine. The Emperor of RUSSIA has issued an imperial ukase, commanding all Poles professing the Catholic religion to quit Odessa under penalty of banishment to Siberia. His Imperial Majesty, as Head of the Greek Church, intends in future to limit his favours to such of his subjects as belong to that communion. The Catholics will be everywhere treated with rigour, but especially in Poland, which is about to be colonized with Greek Missionaries and their families. This re solution on the part of the CZAR will not be very agreeable to the Protestant continental Powers, who all prefer the doctrines of Rome to those of the Greek Church. Madrid Journals to the sth instant inclusive have reached us this morning. They bring reports of the discovery of a plot for the assassination of the QUEEN REGENT on the 2d, in consequence of which several arrests took place on the 3d and 4th instant. A ball of lead was said to have been thrown at the QUEEN, which broke the window of her carriage, but fortu nately without touching her. A motion of Senors NUNEZ, LEAL, and CA RA SCO, impeaching the con duct of the Cabinet, %%as discussed in the Cortes on the 4th, but the Chamber had not come to a decision when the courier left the capital. Don CARLOS'S entrance into Cantavieja was gene rally known in Madrid on the 3d. There was no alarm, the populace appearing to trouble their heads ve r y little about the matter. The Government had dispatched orders to Gene•als ESPA RTERO, DE MEER, ORA A, and BuErtiois to send detachm'ents from their respective forces to cover the capital. There was, however, none of that energy manifested which the dangers that threatened Spain might be expected to call forth. Extracts from the Brussels and German Papers re ceived to-day will be found in another part of The Sun. They advise us of the pregnancy of the Queen of GREECE, among a variety of other matters not more important to Europe. Letters from Odessa of the 15th ult., announce that preparations on a scale of unequalled magnitude are making for the Russian Grand Review at Vosnesensk. Seventeen batteries of Horse Artillery were then in readiness. The most pressing invi tations have been addressed to the SULTAN by the EM PEROR to be present. There is to be a sham battle, in which the divisions engaged will all be commanded by foreign Princes, with the exception of one to be led on by the EMPEROR in person. The manoeuvres will commence in August. The general impression ap pears to be, that after the review the troops will be all poured into Circassia ; the review itself being only a pretext for congregating them without suspicion, at a point so convenient for warlike operations in good earnest. MUNIFICENT DONATION.—A benevolent lady, a few days ago, on receiving the last Periodical Report of the Animals' Friend Society, immediately testified her approbation by a gift of one hundred pounds. BARBAROUS TREATMENT OF A HORSE.—The Hon. Secretary of the Animals' Friend Society, last week, charged Henry Town, before Mr. Wedgwood, with having continually worked a horse in drawing heavy loads of bricks from Nine Elms, Vauxhall, to Norwood, the poor animal's skin being completely worn off in various places from the pressure of the harness or whip, and was bleeding when the offender was detected. He was fined Bs. costs, and ordered to pay 11. if he should be found to use the horse before it was we ll. At Bristol also, among several cases brought by the Society, was one against John Hill for great cruelty to a monster calf with part of two heads. He absconded. The animal had four nostrils, two tongues, two windpipes, and two sets of teeth. -- An Englishman, residing at Frankfort, lately made a bet of 150 ducats with a rich Jew that he would sit on horse back for eight successive days and nights without once alight ing. He gained his wager, as well as several others, which he made while on horseback, with the bystanders. The Jew, who himself was present to watch his adversary, was more fatigued than the other.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A mail has arrived from Jamaica by the Lord Melville, sailed on the 28th of May ; from Barbadocs, May 26 ; and St. Thomas, June 4, The Barbadocs papers state that a diabolical attempt was made on the 3d of May, during the night, to burn down the southern part of the residue of Charlestown, which bad been spared from the conflagration of the 18th of April. No clue had been found to discover the offenders, tlictlgh two indivi duals are apprehended on suspicion. The Jamaica papers contain a circular to the Special Ma gistrates, dated King's House, 16th May, in which his Ex cellency repeats the injunction which had been so strongly urged, that the use of corporal punishment should be re stricted as much as possible, and confined to offences of a dia graceful or highly aggravated nature. The smallpox still rages in some of the islands to an alarming extent. The Manager cif the Colonial Bank has, through his solici tor, served a notice on the Directors of the Jamaica Local Bank, that he will enforce the payment of their bank-notes in gold and dollars of acknowledged weight and fineness. THE FUNDS. In the course of yesterday a great number of small pur chases were made in the British Funds; money being plenti ful at 4 per cent. on good security. Consols closed at 92Z for the Account, and opened this morning at 9211; Money, 904 ; Exchequer Bills, 41 43 ; India Bonds, 41 43 ; Bank Stock, 208 209. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active closed at 21 ex Coupons ; opened at 20 4 4, ex Coupons ; Portuguese, no alteration from yesterday's leaving off price, 43 to 431- Three per Cents., 274- ; Spanish Passive, s 4 ; Deferred , 74 4 ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. 524; Colombian, 254 24 ; Brazilian, 84 to 4. HALF-PAST ONE. The speculators in Spanish securities are rather disap pointed, not having received any further telegraphic dispatches, with the movements of the contending armies in the Penin sula; in consequence of which there is little speculation this morning in the Spanish Funds. Accounts from St. Petersburgh state that the great com mercial crisis which has taken place in the United States, has not had that effect at that capital which it had on England, France and Holland. Not a single commercial house has been compromised, yet trade is heavy with mistrust, and great diffi culty prevails in negotiating bills. Very little business is doing in Consols, which were in the early part of the morning. at 921 s ; the Account, at present may be quoted 92Z- 4 ; Money, 91 ; Exchequer Bills, Stock, 208.

ABORTIVE TORY MEETING IN THE CITY. — A meeting of the City of London Conservative Association was held on Wednesday in the great room at the City of London Tavern ; and when the business of the meeting commenced, thirty-one members of the Association, for none others were allowed to be present, had assembled to take part in the impor tant proceedings of the day. A few came in subsequently, and some went out, but so tame a thing as the whole matter was, even the City Conservatives have hitherto failed to exhibit. Mr. Spottiswoode was called to the chair. The excuse for the small meeting was that the members of the Society were better and more usefully engaged elsewhere. Resolutions re. joicing in the prospect of an improvement in the representation of the City of London, and of confidence in Mr. Palmer, were subsequently proposed and seconded by Mr. Dodd, Mr. Shears, Mr. A. Moore, and Mr. Alderman Lucas. The Tories may feign to rejoice and give utterance to expressions of confidence, but they cannot feel that they have cause for either. Their game is up. No Go.—Our office was broken open on Saturday night, the desk rummaged, but nothing was found of any con sequence, as a reward for their risk and labour. Robbing a printing-office on a Saturday night is a forlorn hope in these tunes. —New York Evening !tar. At Geneva the elockmakers and jewellers begin to suffer severely from the commercial crisis. There has not been witnessed there for 23 years past, so complete a stagna tion in this trade, which gives support to a great part of the population. An auctioneer, who had been lately employed to submit to public competition a house situated in the precincts of Chelsea, thus concluded a most eloquent eulogium of the superior advantages which the mansion possessed—" But, gentlemen, besides the various multifarious and superabundant qualifications which recommend this situation to your notice beyond every other site which Europe possesses, I am happy to have it within my power to state that the back attic com mands an unequalled and enchanting view of the fireworks during the Vauxhall season." Yesterday being the day appointed by the Queen Dowager to receive the Addresses of Condolence of the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council upon the death of his late Majesty, William the Fourth, the Lord Mayor, attended by the Recorder and Remembrances and his Lordship's Chap lain, and accompanied by Aldermen Brown and Scholey, the mover and seconder of the Address, and Alderman Wood, Sir Peter Laurie, Lucas, and Cowan, who will be the next Chief Magistrate, and by Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Tickner, the mover and seconder of the Address in the latter, proceeded from the Mansion-house at ten o'clock to Bushey Park. The Sword bearer and Mace-bearer and the two City Marshals preceded the members of the deputation. The scene was extremely affecting. Her Majesty was attended by Earl Howe, Earl Denbigh, the Duke of Saxe Meining en, Prince George of Cambridge, Lady Clinton, &c., and received the deputation with great kindness. While the Recorder was reading the address almost every person in the room was in tears. Her Majesty, in a low tone of voice, which evidently cost her a very great effort, replied in a few words expressive of her sense of the kind feelings by which the two bodies who addressed her were influenced, and retired overpowered with affliction. Nothing can exceed the beauty which the neigh bourhood of Keswick now presents, and the hay crops, like those of every other part of the country, turn out so weighty that no man living ever again ought to despair of a backward season. The company at the lakes is less than it has been, probably in some degree owing to the portentous election con flict about to commence.—Carlisle Patriot. Millions of caterpillars were seen on the trees and hedges on Friday night, in the neighbourhood of Taunton, particularly the fir; they were in swarms like bees. The same appearance occurred in 1835, before the dreadful ravage b 7 inaucts of the turnip crop. NEWPORT Newport, for which serious fears have been for some time entertained, is safe. A difference existed betweeis Mr. Hawkins and some cf the electors, in conse quence of his votes en the Pension List ; and so many had withdrawn their support as to enianger election. A public meeting; was held last evening, whicia was most numerously and respectably attended. Mr. H.- addressed the electors, and explained his past conduct ; the whole of which, with the exception of his votes on the List, were universally approved of; and us it was his riisli to nl : 7! isent the wishes of those who sent him la Parliartont, he woulu quarrel with them on that point ; hut would vote not only for he appointment of a Corn to enquire into it, but also that every person shouldt be struck off whose pension was not justly merited. This was a death-blow to the Tories' hopes, as Mr. it!, was im mediately insured a majority of upwards of fifty ; indeed, it ii much doubted whether the Tories will now come to the poll: The Isle of Wight seems quiet—the simple gentlema►r not having troubled the electors lately, leaving the field to Captain Pelham and the Reformers. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS AT CowES.—Sir E. Paget, Bart., has taken Wood Vale. 'Fire Marchioness of Al.- glescy is expected at the Castle on Saturday. Lord Ash burton has taken one of the Cliff cottages, and Lord Bingham another ; Lord Ilchester, Harriet Lodge ; Sir• Thomas Cochrane, White Rose Cottage ; Lord Shelburne to the Marine lintel ; Lord Vcntry left this morning for Southampton. Norris Castle, the late summer residence of her Majesty, is not yet let ; nor is Norfolk House, late the residence of the Duke of Norfolk, and about thirty other houses, which is rather uncommon so late its the season. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JULY 12.—The average prices of wheat and rye, in the first week of July (3d to Bth, both inclusive), were—wheat, 1,694 f. ; rye, 1,167 f. per hectolitre. The import duties remain at 3,750 f. and 2,160 f. per 1,000 kilo grammes. VIENNA, JULY 3.—Prince Metternich receives this evening the visits of the Foreign Ministers for the last time before lie leaves Vienna, which he will do on the sth, going first to Ischl, where he will only stop till the 7th, and then go, by way of Salzburg, to Munich. Many officers of the Austrian army have asked and obtained the Emperor's leave to go, at their own expense, to the Russian camp. Manzone Capaceine, the Papal Legate, has arrived here. M. de Tatischeff, the Russian Ambassador, will go this week to Carlsbad. Sir F. Lambe likewise intends to visit some watering-place. The French Ambassador and the , Nuncio remain at Vienna. VETS, MAY 22.—We are•here in the greatest dread of a visit from the insurgents in the vicinity, whose audacity is really astonishing. In the (Greek) Easter week 300 of them came down from the lura Mountains, surprised Porturia, a considerable place two leagues from this, dur ing the weekly markets, killed or wounded some men who were inclined to resist, carried off all the goods that they could take away, took also ten hostages of the best fa milies, and after committing various wanton and cruel acts, retreated without obstacle to these mountains. Some days ago 3,000 Turkish troops arrived here to chastise the robbers, and to recover their plunder, but they have done nothing ; they positively refused to penetrate into the mountains for fear of an ambush, and remain idle spec tators, while the robbers make a jest of them.

Sut—ln your report of the proceedings of the Lanibet meeting last night, I am made to avow myself a friend t° universal suffrage, and to the total repeal of the new Poor' law Act. Most emphatically I declared myself adverse to universa l suffrage, but friendly to household suffrage. As to the new Poor-law Act, I stated that I had o rigi" nally voted against it, and was not, therefore, answerable for its defects. I expressed my decided o b j ection to the clause giving plurality of votes , an d m y anxiet y that this and some other evils arising from the measure should be re' ;Bodied, but I did not state any desire for its total repeal. J r- - -a' L.& nithwr intirn.. l .. I hop° you will do me the kindness to insert this correction of 11° error which, of course, was purely accidental. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, June 13. C. TENNYSON D'EYNCOUItrr• h I kl The Queen Dowager is in better spirits than cou have been anticipated, considering her recent bereavement. Her Majesty is in tolerable health ; and in her retirement 55 Bushy is gradually recovering from her fatigues. Captain Steele, Paymaster of the Revenue Police , dropped suddenly dead, last week, in Loughrea.—Tug" Herald. Notwithstanding the exertions of the new police and other peace-officers employed at the late King's funeral, the robberies committed in the castle-yard and chapel were very numerous. It appears, from information received yesterday at Scotland-yard, that a gentleman named Wells, residing in Cheapside, was robbed of a valuable gold watch ; Mr. Lens' bert, of Coventry-street, was robbed of a purse containing nearly 201. in gold and silver ; a lady, of 39, Dorset-street , Portman-square, of between 3/. and 4/., and a portmanteau. in which was a large quantity of wearing apparel, was stolen from the back of a carriage. Many of the inhabitants of Windsor and Eton, who were likewise incautious enough to take their cash with them, returned home without it, so that there is no doubt whatever of the body of thieves present hal ing reaped upon the whole a very excellent harvest. PAISLEY.—We regret to state that the prospects we have held out of an improvement in trade for the last few weeks have not been realized. Some heavy failures in the shawl trade, and severe losses sustained by several manufactur ing houses, have again damped the brightening prospect, and have been the cause of a considerable number of workmen be ing thrown idle. The men employed by the relief committee this week stand at the extraordinary number of 1,989, and the wives and children dependent on them to 8,067. We have again had a remittance from our kind friends at Edinburgh, who;altogether, have sent to Paisley not less than from 1,500/. to I,6ool.—Renfrewshire Rl:former. Considerable misapprehension and alarm have been occasioned within the last few days in the neighbourhood of Warwick and Leamington, by a report that one of the Lea mington Banks had stopped payment ; and the notes of the Warwick and Leamington Banking Company, and the Lea mington Priors and Warwickshire Banking Company, have, in consequence, been looked upon with suspicion. It forms s part of our duty to the public to state, that the above Banks, being the only two Banks of issue in this town, are in a most prosperous condition, and that the fears which have been en tertained are without the slightest foundation. The truth, however, is, that the Directors and Proprietors of the other Bank, viz. the Leamington Bank—which has not been a Bank of issue for the last 15 or 18 months, but has circulated the Bank of England paper—have thought proper to take steps gradually to reduce and wind up the affairs of the Bask., Its doing this no local circulation has retired.—Leantington Chron. THE FORCE OF IMAGINATION.—After musing for some minutes, the old gentleman walked, with the same meditative face, into a back ante-room, opening from the yard ; and there, retiring into a corner, called up before his mind's eye a vast amphitheatre of faces , over which a c lusk y curtain had hung for many years. " No," said the old gentleman, shaking his head ; "it must be imagination." He wandered over them again. He had called them into view, and it was not easy to replace the shroud that had so long concealed them. There were the faces of friends and foes, and of many that had been almost strangers, peering intrusively from tie crowd ; there were the faces of young and blooming girls that were now old women ; there were others that the grave had 404anged to ghastly trophies of death, but which the minds superior to his power, still dressed in their own freshness and beauty, calling back the lustre of the eyes, the brightness Of the smile, the beaming of the soul through its mask of clay, s and whispering of beauty beyond the tomb, changed but to be heightened, and taken from earth only to be set up as a light , to shed a soft and gentle glow upon the path to heaven. But the old gentleman could recal no one countenance of which Oliver's features bore a trace ; so he heaved a sigh over the recollections he had awakened ; and being, happily for himself. an absent old gentleman, buried them again in the pages af the musty book.—" Oliver Twist," by Boz, in Bentley's Nis' cellany. Yesterday, at Guildhall, Henry William Dawson, of Cannon -street, servants' hiring-office keeper, who has Inv dergone several examinations, on charges of fraudulently ob taining money from individuals, under pretence of providing them with situations, without having the means of so doings • was committed to Newgate, by Alderman T. Wood,' to take , his trial at the next sessions. A gentleman in office under the Harper Trustees has this week run off to Gretna with an accomplished girl of about 18 years of age, the daughter of a widow lady, residing in Priory-terrace. This is the second elopement from Bed ford within two months, a pupil of Dr. Witt's having ously run off with a young heiress, the daughter of a retired solicitor, resident in Bedford. NEW METHOD OF CAULKING SHIPS.--Mr' Yetts, of Yarmouth, has taken out a patent for a new method of caulking sea - boats , which renders them water-tight, ne° prevents the oakum from being pressed out by the straining of the planks. Mr. Y. effects this by introducing a narra"` strip of caoutchouc (India rubber) on each side of the thread s of the oakum on the outer sheath of the vessel.—Norse o Mercury. The vineyards of Johannisberg, belonging to Prince Metternich, have suffered so severely from a hail storm, that, the damage has been estimated at 100,000 florins.
