The House of Commons on Wednesday came to a de cision adverse to that at which it arrived on the 30th April last by a majority of 18, and again fr us t ra t e d the just expectations of the unfortunate Danish claimants, whose demands, I ve times sanctioned and affirmed by the house, have again been postponed. We confess as Englishmen that we feel deep humilia tion in recording the vacillating conduct of one of the branches of ou r L eg i slature, this truckling to the ipse dixit of any man. Hope deferred, it is said, maketh the heart sick. What can be said of those persons who, for no less than thirty-nine years, have been calling on the Legislature to accord to them that equity and justice to which they are so fully entitled? Why is it that persons in a public capacity will be guilty of acts of meanness and injustice, at which they would blush if perpetrated by themselves as individuals? Why should persons rush in, at the beck of a Minister to swell his majority, to vote on a difficult and compli cated question of international law, of the real merits of which a vast proportion of them must be wholly and entirely d entirely ignorant; and that against t he recorded opi nions of some of the most able la w y ers, and in the significant absence of the legal advisers of the Crown, whose especial duty it was to have been present, and to have en lightened the House with their honest op inions on this important legal question? Was not that very absence evidence as strong as any that could be adduced that their opinions were hostile to those entertained by her MAJESTY'S Go vernment on the point in dispute, that they felt, as lawyers, that they could not support the view put forward, when they leave the defence of the Ministry to a gentleman, who, whatever may be his talents, cannot claim much weight as an authority on question of pure law or equity ? Is it not certain that if they could have conscientiously voted with the Government, they would have given them their support, which would be vastly more impor tant than that of any other individuals in the House ? ' Is it not a singular thing that gentlemen, who before they accepted office pledged their high characters to the justice of a claim, by giving it their disinterested sanction and support, should afterwards, when in office, shrink from avowing their opinions on so grave a subject ? We find that the Attorney and Solicitor-General have already on former occasions given their votes in favour of compensation being granted, and this, coupled with their remarkable absence both on the 30th of April and onWednesday, testifies that the Ministry have taken a legal view different from that of their law advisers, and have argued a legal point in opposition to the opinions of those by whom they should be governed on the subject. The case of the Danish claims is a remarkable one, and a short recapitulation of the grounds on which they have been brought forward cannot be uninte resting on the present occasion. - - In the year 1807 it was considered indispensable to the safety of England that measures should be taken to prevent the Danish fleet co-operating with BUONAPARTE against this country; for that purpose an expedition was dispatched to the Sound, and an envoy to the Danish Court, to demand that the fleet should be delivered over to the English admiral as a security against its falling into the hands of France. That demand was refused, and the consequence was that what had been refused to be peacefully yielded up was taken by force, and in October, 1807, the Danish fleet, munitions of war, naval equipments, &c. &c., to the value of 1,300,0001. sterling, were brought toEngland. The Danes, on their part, were not idle, and much injury was done to the property of British subjects, who, without having been warned by any public act on the part of the Government of the day, had yet. been exposed to most serious losses in consequence of the policy adopted by that Govern ment for the general welfare. The English Ministry have generally adopted a high and honourable course of conduct towards those who have been sufferers under such circumstances ; and we find that Mr. PERCEVAL allowed that the property so taken possession of, amounting, as we have said, to over 1,300,000/. sterling, should be reserved for the claims of those who had lost their property by con fiscation or seizure. These claims were threefold, viz.-Ist, of those who had book debts due to them ; 2dly, of those whose property had been seized on shore ; and, 3dly, of those who had ships and car goes afloat, which were seized by the Danish Go vernment. In 1834, a Treasury minute was at length ob tained, referring it to Parliament to decide whether all or any of those claims should be admitted for compensation ; and accordingly, in 1835 and 1836, the two first classes were dis charged (after only twenty-nine years' suspense and delay), but to an amount far less than the ,300,0001. which had been obtained ; so that a sum remained in hand far exceeding the amount of the claims of the third class, which alone remained, and which the Legislature on Wednesday again post poned. The third-class claims were brought forward in 1838 and 1839, by an eminent lawyer, now one of the brightest ornaments of the judicial bench, and, although opposed by the Government of the day, were sanctioned and approved of by the House of Commons, in consequence of which Commissioners were ap pointed to inquire into the legality of these claims, and to report judicially respecting them. The parties were accordingly put to all the trouble and expense of proving their claims before those Com missioners. They did so, and on the 12th of May, 1840, a report was made, reducing the amount to nearly one-half ; in other words, from 425,0001. to 225,0001., and, large as the latter sum un doubtedly is, we do not think there are many Englishmen who would permit a stain to rest on the honour and integrity of their country for such an amount. In 1841 an address to the Crown was again carried for the settlement of these claims, but in vain ; the parties entitled, who considered themselves safe in the vote of a British House of Commons, were still left to pine in vain and fruitless expectation ; their proved de mands, sanctioned and confirmed by the tribunal constituted by the Government for the time being, by whom they were appointed, were still with held ; four times did the House of Commons sanc tion by their vote tke justice and the equity of the claim. In 1844, it was for the fifth time brought for ward, and all the strength of the Government, at that time one of the strongest which had ever ruled the country, having been exerted against it, it was defeated by a majority of, four. Oa the 30th of April a clear majority of eighteen again affirmed the principle which was yesterday rejected ; such contradictory decisions are not creditable to the House. It has been said that no person would refuse to advance money on a vete of that House ; but, if such exhibitions are re peated, will not a well-founded distrust of the House take place ? Who will depend on a vote which without hesitation may be rescinded and altered ? Are subjects of policy to be laboriously worked, like the web of Penelope, for the sole purpose of having the original labours undone on a subsequent occasion? We have not alluded in this article to the strong legal points of the case, but merely to the proceedings which have already taken place thereon. We cannot, how ever, conclude without commending to an attentive !eal a lett er on th e su bj ec t which will be fou n d 'n our columns, We shall on l y say your exertions— and which speaks of the conduct pur sued in aj us t- tone of i n dignation.

This is, tshee,Broen:id fore, a seasonab le moment for offering a few observo._ t L i t o N n u s T u u p x o , n w t h h i e c h r c e c l o e s n e t d s t p l e i e e c d h i s c o u f s s t i ll u e n u D p u o k n e t h o e f l‘ c c ur na c i o s m . m I e t n reading. This speech ha s been muh has upon, as well by our own as for ei g n been observed that the speech was an exceedingly meagre one, only remarkable for the dictatorial tone usually assumed by his Grace whenever he addresses his hereditary colleagues, and also, that it aimed at securing a majority by working upon their fears. We differ from the whole tenor of these observa tions. The speech in question was short, effective, and full of sound counsel. We admit that, habitually, the Duke couches his observations in terms of decision, savouring almost of command. On this occasion, however, the advice which he tendered, whilst it left no doubt as to the conviction on his own mind, was offered in a modest and becoming manner. We have heard it stated, that the late Marquis of WELLESLET, whose mind was so gifted, and whose ac quaintance with and experience of mankind was so ex tensive,remarked that, throughouthis long political life, he had never met with any man possessed of strong common sense—the true foundation for all the other valuable qualities of the mind—to the same degree as his brother AUTBUE. Prince TALLEYEAND was once asked, when Ambassador in England under LOUIS PHILIPPE, what he thought of the Duke of WEL LINGTON. Ile gave no direct answer, but related an anecdote. At the celebrated Congress at Vienna, where such large national interests had to be arranged, and when everything seemed, after much discussion, to be in a state of inextricable entanglement, th• Duke gave his advice in a few terse sentences, and immediately every difficulty appeared to vanish. The same masculine strength of mind, as is easily discernible, pervaded his speech on the important measure for bringing the corn-laws to a final settlement. He took a solid and practical view. It was not to be expected that a man of his ripe years, rising at between three and four o'clock in the morning, to speak upon a sub ject, which had been statistically exhausted, and which did not fall within his own peculiar department, would minutely enter into the - merits of the Bill. They had been sufficiently substantiated by antece dent speakers. He therefore assumed them at once to be, as far as reason and experience were concerned, placed beyond the reach of further controversy. An attentive listener to the entire debate, he had, with his usual acuteness, observed, that the sum andsubstance of the arguments of the Opposition, duly analyzed, rested upon the propriety and necessity of forcing an appeal to the country. From first to last this was the chief gun his adversaries kept continually firing. The Duke determined to silence it. He made a constitutional speech, and completely dismantled it. Lord STANLEY had said the constitutional value of the Upper House consisted in interposing a salutary obstacle to rash and inconsiderate legislation, but it had never resisted a continued and deliberately formed public opinion, and that their Lurdships always had, and always would have, to bow t) the ex pression of such an opinion. His Lordship also added, that, though the constitution had not provided for such a contingency, it was the duty of the Peers to protect the people against the treachery of those whom they had chosen to be their leaders. The Duke and his colleagues had resigned office. The two other parties —the Literals and the Protectionists—had sub sequently had the opportunity of forming an Admi nistration, which was respectively declined. These facts at once destroyed the charge of treachery. Besides, in the commencement of his speech, Lord STANLEY passed the highest encomiums on the cha racters of the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL. If these two are not, par excellence, the chosen leaders of the people, as appertaining to the Government, we should like to know who are. Again, if treachery had really prevailed, one would naturally have expected the House of Lords to have been inundated with petitions preferring the charge from all parts of the country. But such, we know, has not been the case. Sir ROBERT returned to office, and announced to the Duke his determinations to submit to Parliament the identical measure upon which he had recently failed to secure the approval of his Cabinet. Sir ROBERT, no doubt, pointed out to his Grace, that, as he had, after re signation, in his private capacity of a Member of Parliament, given Lord JOHN RUSSELL to understand he would support him in any similar measure, he could not question but that Lord JOHN RUSSELL would, in turn, aid his own endeavours to carry a gradual abolition of the corn-lams; that the measure, statistically recommended by the experience of the last three years, would therefore pass the Commons ; but that, without the co-operation of the Duke, it might fail to pass the Lords, in the first instance, though it would do so eventually, the current of public opinion having so strongly set in in its favour. 'We can coneeive, moreover, that Sir ROBERT adverted to the period of the Reform Bill, when both himself and the Duke had, in the language of Lord STANLEY, learnt the lesson, that the House of Lords could not resist a continued and deliberately-formed public opinion, but must bow to its expresai®n ; that then he enlarged upon the impolicy of embarking the Upper House in a hopeless struggle, which would neutralise the happy effects of the moderate course it had pursued for the last fifteen years, under the especial auspices of the Duke himself. The Duke was convinced, and was gained. Persuaded that the measure would pass, his sense of duty to his SOVE REIGN dictated the desirableness that it should be in troduced by a strong Government, so as to insure to it the best chance of its being harmoniously supported by the separate branches of the Legislature. Much of this, and more, is embodied by the Duke in a few pithy sentences. To those who read the speech, to which we are referring, without bearing in mind political antecedents, we can readily fancy it would ap pear meagre enough; whereas, to such as are mindful of preceding facts, the effect will be quite different. "My Lords," said the Duke, "I have already, in this House, adverted to the circumstances which gave rise to this measure. In December I considered my self bound, in duty to my SOVEREIGN, not to with hold my assistance from the Government, knowing that the First Lord of the Treasury could not do otherwise than propose to Parliament this very mea sure, stated at the Cabinet previous to the period at which it resigned early that month. It is not neces sary I should say more on that subject. The course I felt myself bound to take I would take again to morrow." Adverting to Lord STANLEY'S statement (in which he concurred), that it was the duty of the Lords to protect the public from rash and inconsithrate measures, his Grace disposed of it in a way that clearly indicated his belief of the measure itself, and of the manner in which it had come up from the Commons, to be such, that, regard being had to the consequences of rejecting it, rashness and in considerateneas were terms which would be fairly applied to those who looked to produce such a result. "My Lords, it is the duty of each to place himself in the situation of the House before he determines to give his vote, and to consider what would be, under all the circumstances, the consequence if the House were to follow the course he may be about to do en this occasion." This was a pretty significant hint to their Lordships to he guarded against being biassed by a feeling of personal interest, and to confine them selves alone to what a sense of constitutional duty should dictate. "Look," continued the Duke, " a little to the measure, to the manner in which it has come before you, and to the consequences likely to follow from a rejection. 1 myself once prevailed upon the House to vote for a measure against which it had pronounced positive opinions by former votes." This was in so many words telling his hearers to recollect the history of the Catholic Relief Bill, and especially that of the Reform Bill, when no doubt a desire to preserve a borough mongering influence had swayed the vote of many a Peer, in opposition to a measure, crowned by a commanding majority of the Commons; to remember how degraded was their position when Earl GREY, backed by his Sovereign and public opinion, threatened to swamp them ; and how, to avoid a revolution, they had been ignominiously com pelled to beat a retreat. When the Duke begged them to consider the manner in which the Corn Bill had come before them, he meant them to bear in mind how long this great question had been agitated bwnye.trhehe was. public,an another how bint large t o an wasenl enlightened, the t e majority ned, th ou g b y h e l j i t n e h e g t a e l d i d s:t listener.

He, therefore , onl y took a hasty glance, ami s . tied that his audience would perceive he drew his counsel from the fountain of all wisdom —enlarged experience. The Duke mildly rebuked Lord STANLEY when he told him that, constitutionally, their House could not take into consideration the inconsistency of the votes of Members in the other House. Nothing could be more dangerous than for either House to enter into such an inquisitorial proceeding. Lord STANLEY, however, preferred to take the decision of the House of THE SUN, LONbON, FRIDAY 111 , ORNING, JUNE - 12, 1846 Commons of 1842 to that of 1846. For ourselves, ; was said that the Prince would embark in a few days we respect the latter decision, as being infinitely more for France, It had been previously reported, how valuable, having been arrived at after a four years' ever, that he intended to go to Oran. Marshal further proof of the noxious operation of the corn- BUGEAUD was to leave for Oran on the evening of laws, and with all the advantage of the enlightened , the 3(1. consideration which has been interveningly bestowed upon them. We must bring these remarks to a close. As a modest, temperate, and well-reasoned answer to Lord STANLEY, and those who urged an appeal to the country, we hold the speech of the Duke of WELLINGTON to be most valuable. It was judicious and practical. In a constitutional point cf view, admirable. " I beg to remind you, my Lords, that you ought not to t ke a position on which you cannot stand." His Grace was anxious that the Peers should not place themselves in a false position. " The object I had in view in resuming my seat in her MAJESTY'S Council= will not be attained if your Lord,hips reject the Bill." We rejoice that the Duke has thus far succeeded, and certain we are his political compeers ought to feel deeply indebted to him for the course he has adopted and the advice he has given them.

EXPRES FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) We have received, by Extraordinary Express, a letter from our Paris correspondent, dated yesterday (Wednesday) three o'clock P.M., which states that "at half-past two o'clock that day the Paris and Lions Railroad, wii h a branch to Grenoble, was adjudged to the company represented by M. Talabot. The Emperor of RUSSIA has just published a ukase ordering all the Jews in Russia to place themselves before January 1, 1850, in one of the four following classes :-1. Amongst the burgesses of a town by the purchase of a piece of land or a house. 2. In one of the three corporations of traders. 3. In a corporation of artisans, after having given the proofs of ability required by law ; and 4. In the grand body of tillers of the earth, whether on their own property or under another owner. Such Jews as have not placed them selves by the appointed time in one of the four &asses, are to be subjected to such restrictive measures as the Government may think fit to employ. According to the Cologne Gazette, the extradition of the ex-Dictator of Cracow, M. TYSSOWSKI, at pre sent a prisoner in Saxony, has been demanded by Austria, Russia, and Prussia, but positively refused by the Court of Drisden. " The first tender opened by the Minister of Public Works was that of Gamieron, banker, which prop )sed for the line at a reduction of nine moths from the fifiy years—the maximum declared by the law of July, 1845—that is, offering to take the line on a lease of forty-nine years and three months. " The Minister next opened a sealed parcel, which proved to be the tender of M. Talabot, Chief Engineer of the Roads and Bridges, which offered to take the line at a reduction of 5 years and 67 (lays from the aforesaid msximum; that on a lease for 44 years 298 days. " A third tender, that of M. Chastelleux, was to have been made, but the preliminary formality had not been com plied with. " The Minister, therefore, declared that, as the tender of M. Talabot offered the more considerable reduction from the fixed maximum, it was to be regarded as the most ad vantageous for the public, and was accordingly accepted." The effect expected from this adjudication was a consider able improvement in the prices of shares, but the contrary was the fact, as will be seen by the subjoined lists. We must observe, however, that the general heaviness of the market is ascribed by our correspondent to the leading article in the Times of Monday last. Madrid papers of the 4th inst. have been received. On that day there were contradictory rumours circu lated in Madrid on the subject of the affairs of Por tugal. According to one account, the juntas had sent in their adhesion to the Palmella Cabinet, and tranquillity was restored ; according to another ac count, however, the juntas were at variance with each other, the Ministers had resigned, the QUEEN was without advisers, and anarchy was at its height. We think this last account must be greatly exag gerated. The Palmella Government had not re signed at the time the last official accounts from Lisbon had been received, for it had caused a formal note to be delivered to the Spanish Government, de manding an explanation of the intentions of Spain in assembling a corps d'arm'ie on the frontiers, and at the' same time desiring the recal of M. GON ZALES BRAVO. This worthy Ambassador it appears openly interfered in support of the Cabral party, and escorted the CABRALS through the streets of Lisbon to the ship, on board which they embarked for Cadiz. After having thus exhibited himself in the character of an ac tive partisan, M. GONZALES BRAVO became apprehensive of the consequences, and, hoisting the Spanish flag over his resiktence, armed a number of Gallegos to act as his body-guard, arid informed the Portuguese Cabinet that the slightest insult offered to him would be followed by the advancing the Spanish troops into Portugal. The Spanish Cabinet, in answer to the note of the Duke of' PALMELLA, had assured the Portuguese Government of its paciflo intentions, and M. GONZALES BRAVO had at the same time re ceived orders from his Government to observe the strictest neutrality with regard to the internal affairs of Portugal. MADRID BoLSA, JUNE 4.—The Three per Cents. were not quoted. The shares of the Bank of San Fernando sold at 385, and those of Label at 196. The Paris papers of Wednesday received by this express contain no news of importance. We have also received by extraordinary courier the intel ligence of the adjudication of the Lyons aril Avignon Rail road.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather dull. Sales, 5,000 to 6.000 bales. Shares continued flat. By the brig Nelson, arrived at Liverpool, advices of Feb. 7 have been r , ceived from Wellington, New Zealand. The following are the most interesting items, referring to events in another part of the colony, with which it appeared the post-office communication was extremely irregular, so much so, in fact, as to place the settlers at Welliugton in a very poor position for getting news of events at Auckland :- " A proclamation has been i-sued by which the debentures are recalled, and certain terms are proposed for their re demption. The amount of debentures in circulation is stated to be 36,0001., and at least 10,000/., or nearly a third of this amount, was in circulation in this settlement. " Again we learn, in the same indirect and casual way, that fresh reinforcements have been received. aed that the war is renewed with increased vigour. An attack waste be made on the rebels on a certain day. All sorts of rumours ..re rife, and the settlers are placed in a most painful state of anxiety and suspense, from which there seems no present prospect of their being relieved. We hear that Pomare. the faithless, treacherous, Pomare, has deserted from the British camp and sided with the rebels. ,This chief is connected by affinity or rel.tinnship with all the principal chiefs in the southern district, and his example may have considerable weight in determining their future conduct, for aught the local Government way know to the contrary, but no measures of precaution are adopted to guard against any mischief that may art-c." The sixth anniversary of the settlement had been celebrated at Wellington. There are accounts also, by a direct arrival, to Jan. 28, from Port Philip. The colony was improving, and had an immense quantity of sheep and cattle available for wool and tallow purposes, but chiefly the former. The Funds have been very dull again,. and there is no improvement in their value. Consols for account have realised 94 to 95. The premium on Exchequer-bills bas been 12s. to 17m. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 96 3 / 4 to 97. East India Stock for account is at 266 1 ,4. The Foreign Bonds are totally neglected. Not a bargain is reported in Mexican. Spanish Three per Cents. have been flat at 36% to 37. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been at 45%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 5976. bares are neglected. BRITISH FUNDS.

Real del Monte, Unreg istered Monsieur Hal- w as was a Peckham on Wednesday, and superintended the working of the model for two hours. Several ladies and gentlemen were present, who expressed to the inventor the g reat gratification they had derived from the examination of the model, and the explanations given to them of the principles of his s y stem. The si mplicity of the logitudinal valve, and perfect contact throughout of the lips, were particularly admired ; and the ease and rapidity of the motion of the piston carriage were highly commended. A gentleman attended on behalf of the Mini: ter of Public Works in Russia, to examine the apparatus. He expressed himself perfectly satisfied with all th at he saw, anfi reports immediately to St. Petersburgh. Th e experiment at Peck ham will be resumed on Satu r d ay , at two o'clock, when Mr. Hallette will again be present. The members of the institu tion of Civil Engineers hare been invited. The experiments will be of a searching character, and an interesting dims sion may be expected. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. It appears that during the secret deliberation of the Peers as to the sentence to be passed on LE COMTE, the Chancellor, Duke PASQUIER, made a most unwise and ill-judged allusion to the case of Mar.hal NEY. The Constitutionnel of MondAy alluded to the circumstance. In the Constitutionnel of Tuesday we find the following detailed account of the circum stances:— " The grave incident to which v,e have alluded was 'yester day the general subject of conversation in the Chamber of Deputies, where it produced a deep sensation. The follow ing, according to the accounts in circulation, was the way as already stated, in which it occurred. At the moment when the sentence on Lecomte was about to be pronounced, one of the Peers, M. Teste, demanded that his degradation as a member of the Legion of Honour should be formally declared. Upon this, M. Pasquier, the President, is said to have re marked that all punishment of Ti afflictive and infamante character involved the degradation as a matter of course. He is said to have added, Besides, gentlemen, the Court of Peers has its precedents. .Thus in a celebrat e d t r i a l, th a t of Marshal Ney, the degradation took place without any men tion being made of it in the sentence.' We may imagine the effect produced by this inconceivable comparison between the glorious victim of an abominable reaction and the wretched assassin who has just been condemned. If we are well in formed, an almost universal murmur greeted the words of the Chancellor, and warned him that certain p ro p r i e ti es could not be forgotten wit h impunity. For our p ar t s , we d o not be:ieve that M. Pasquier had any i ntent i on to i nsu l t the memoryth seeih iien n o f ohw t i s h l e e a illustriousd ileading languageusaway. ay.Marshal; frightful few years b ac k th e Cham ber symptom of the reaction which but it is impossibl e no t of Peers thrilled when the name of Marshal Ney was pro nounced, and avoided with care all that could remind France of that terrible event. At present the President does not hesitate to invoke as a precedent the execrable process which produced the death of a hero by French bullets. Let the Pre sident to-morrow be called on to render an account of his words, and whilstprotesting against all insulting thoughts, he will, without doubt, establish that the new peerage i• re sponsible for the old one, and th . el the trial of M ars h a l Ney preserves its place in the archives, like that of Alibaud or Fieschi. w e hope, for our parts, that publi c opinion, i n de fault of the peerage itself, will treat as it deserves such a doctrine." The Siecle comments upon the conduct of the Duke PASQUIER in these terms — "At the moment these inconsiderate words were pro nounced, M. Pasquier had before him the Prince de la Mos kowa, the son of the illustrious victim. A painful sensation was immediately felt by all present. Every one endeavoured in vain to conceive how a man in such a high station, so long accustomed to measure his expressions so as to render only what he thought and felt, should have suffered him self to fall into such a grievous forgetfulness. The Chan cellor, we are fully convinced, had no deliberate intention of wounding the Prince de la Moskowa by such a cruel allusion ; but such is now the course of ideas. that in the n Inds et the men who govern us such references are not impossible, and psihaps are natural. It is said that the Prince de la Moskowa has suffe ed so severely from an emo tion to which no generous bean can be an alien, that he has determined to demand an explanation in the Chamber of Peers. Should the Chamber, which we are far from believing, render itself a participator in the sanguina7 acts of 1815, the Prince, it is said. will feel himself bound in honour to resign his seat in it. We cannot tell under what form, nor on tv hat occasion, such an explanation can be called for; but we can never blame even the exaggerated susceptibility of a son wishing to enforce respect to the memory of his father—above all, when that son bears a name which is among those that have invested France with glory." The National is equally indignant in its comments on Duke PASQUIER. In allusion to the execution of LECOMTE, both the Journal des Debats and the Gazette des Tributtaux state that he expressed great repentance for the crime which he had attempted. The Progres du Pas-de-Calais states that General Count DE MONTEOLON has been informed by the Go vernment that he will be set at liberty as soon as the judicial inquiries respecting the evasion of Prince Louis 11 APOLEON shall be at an end. A Toulon journal mentions a rumour that an ex pedition is about to take place, under the command of Marshal BUGEAUD, against the tribes cn the frontiers of Morocco. This rumour, however, does not accord with an announcement in the Echo de Vesone that a letter, dated the 27th ult., has been received from the Marshal by his family, in which he states that he will probably come to France next month, no more to re turn to Algeria, and that he had already received a conge to be acted upon when be pleased. The Mar shal, adds the Echo de Vesone, entr,ats his friends to declare that he is more than ever desirous of continu ing deputy for Excideuil, and that it is false that he ii tends to offer himself as a candidate for any other place. We have received the Akbar and the France Algerienne of Algiers of the 2d. There is nothing positive in them as to the movements of ABD-EL.• KADER, and nothing to confirm the hope which had been expressed, that other French prisoners, besides the man who had arrived at Lalla-Magrhnia, and from whom the account of the massacre at the Deira was obtained, had also succeeded in making their escape. The Akbar states from Deily.; that the Kabylea are quarrelling amongst themselves. The Flisat-el-Bahais have assas sinated the Amin of the Pit-Zeraras, and the tribes are making razzias upon each other. An Algiers letter of the 3d announces the arrival there on that day of his Royal Highness the Duke D'AUMALE. It COU RT CIRCULAR. ills Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Mr. G. E.

His Highness the Prince of Egypt rose at his accustomed early hour on Wednesday morning, and breakfasted alone in his private apartment. His Highness was engaged in transacting business with his private , ecretary until nearly twelve o'clock, at which hour the carriages were ordered to be in attendatce. At half-past twelve o'clock his Highness, accompanied by the members of his suite, in two carriages, left Mivart's Hotel, for the purpose of making a tour of inspection. The illustrious party first drove through the City, and crossing Tower-hill made the . Thames Tunnel their first object of ex amination. The visit having been an unexpected one on the part of the authorities, only the secretary of the com pany was in attendance to receive his Highness. Accom panied by that gentleman, the Pacha and the members of his suite descended the entrance shaft, and traversed the tunnel to the southern shore. The modeofits constructionwas clearly explained to his Highness by the secretary, and the questions suggested by the Prince were also answered by the same functionary, to his Highness's evident gratification and astonishment. The Pacha purchased several small articles in the tunnel, and - , after devoting more than half an hour to a complete examination of this ingenious absurdity, took his departure. The Tower of London was next visited by the illustrious party. In carrying out the express desire of his Highness to inspect the institutions and exhibitions of the country as a private individual, on arriving at the fortress gates one of the Pacha's English attendants was sent forward to procure tickets of admission. This person had already done so, and the carriages were about to enter the precincts, when a group of warders, observing the glittering uniforms of the strangers, rem off to the Deputy-Governor's residence, and gave him information of the fact. Major Elrington was soon in attendance on his Highness, and, having been in troduced by Major Dickson. the gallant officer led the way first to the Jewel-house, where the crown jewels were shown and explained by Mr. Swifte. His Highness exa mined the crown with especial interest, and remarked on the beauty of the collection generally. From the Jewel house the party proceeded to the Armoury, of which they made a minute inspection. His Highness subsequently viewed the collection of ancient and modern guns preserved within the fortress, several of the former of which are of Egyptian manufacture. The Mint was Vie next point of attraction. Here the Pacha was received by the Right Hon. Sir George Clerk, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, who conducted hie Highness over every part of the establishment. The method by which the bars of gold were rolled out, and the subsequent operation of stamping the pieces, as well ss the die machinery. were successively itiepected by the Pacha. The coin in p'ocess of manufacture In ing his Highness's inspection was exclusively of (ipper. intended for circulation in Calcutta. To give lie Highness a more .pleasing oppor tunity of seeing the transition from a dull metal bar to the bright coin, a silver medal was struck in his presence, to commemorate his visit. One side here the profile of her Majesty, while on the obverse a war trophy was struck. Round the outer rim of the coin were impressed the words, " Ibrahim Pacha, June 10, 184 t;." His Highness accepted this mark of attention and reipect very graciously, and having thanked Sir George Clerk for his courtesy, took leave, with the intension of proceeding to The Bank of England. where the party arrived precisely at tour o'clock. Mr. Heath, the Governor, and Mr. Robin son, the Depute-Governor, with two sir three other members of the board, of direction, were in attendance to receive his Highness; and, the carriages having . driven into the inner court, the Pacha and the members of his suite alighted and accompanied the governors to the Bank parlour, where a dejeuner had been prepared. His Highness having partaken of some slight refreshment, was then conducted over the whole establishment in the greatest detail. The party first inspected the bullion cellars, where the gold bars are de- posited, and in,which a very large quantity of Sycee silver, paid as ransom money by the Chinese, is stored. His Highness was subsequently shown the method of printing Bank notes and dividend warrants, with the whole of which he appeared greatly amused. While in the cash-office Mr. Heath placed a small bundle of notes in his Highness's hand, which were explained to represent the money value of up-- wards of 1,000.0001. sterling. The dividend office and other departments were subsequently visited by the illustrious strangers, and it was nearly six o'clock. before they had com pleted their tour of the building. On taking his departure, the Pacha shook hands very heartily with the Governor and Deputy-Gtiverntir, and expressed himself much indebted for the attention which had been shown him. The party returned to Mivart's shortly after six o'clock, and dined together privately at half-past seven. It was ex pected his Highness wonld have honoured Drury-lane Tneatre with his presence on Wednesday night. Dr. Bowring, M.P., had an interview with his Highness on Wednesday evening, and we believe the result will be that the Pacha will visit the House of Commons this evening after returning from Ascot Races. The Queen's carriages have been ordered to be in attend ance at the Slough station yesterday morning to convey his Highness end suite to Ascot. His Highness was on Wednesday enrolled a member of the United Service Club. The following names were on Wednesday inscribed in his Highness's visiting book in the order annexed : Mr. W. F. Ainsworth, Secretary to the Syro-Egyptian Society, and late of the Euphrates expedition ; the Earl of Ellenborough, First Lord of the Admiralty; Tiscount Ir gestre, Captain R.N. ; Lord A.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—This morning &s Imperial Highness, .accompanied by Vice-Admiral Lutke and Captain Lout kow , lty, o: the Ingermankmi, and attended by Baron Friedrichs and C,iptlin Mofet, was conducted over the dock yard by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., and the officers of the estab.ishinent, commencing with the testing- house, thence proceeding to the rigging store, present use store, and thence on board the Amphitrite reek corvette, where his Highness remained sometime making minute inquiries as to her qualification., intended armament, service, and other mitt era, which were explained by Mr, Traplin. the mac hin i st of the establishment (who attended the Royal party throu,glen.. out their inspection ). From the Amphitrite the i:ot:q t . e n ceeded to the dock in which the Rattlesnake, 28, l it u t i l yza g i for surveying service, thence to the Rifleman gu nboat, r, e where the the screw propeller principle 200-horse p Prince made very particular inquiries as ant°odwhienr fitn e ss for the duty for which she is constr . u b cted naval tactics and con showed himself well conversant !!, very inte lli g ibly i n English the st ruction, conversing t ß be ear G -A r d an m d iral Sir whole time. On leaving the Duke theienßte i d ficm t :n Charles Malcolm was I"*e se by Sir Charles Ogle, and the Russian Admiralthe next offices visited, where Mr. The metal Owen, theirisnuip'lesrinv.teer;dent explained the process of run ning the copper fluid into p igs: for sheets for the bottoms of ships; the royal party . then went , tough the metal m ill s an d nail shop to the b l acksmit h s shop, where Nasmyth's steam -hammer was exhibited, which attracted particular attention from all the officers present. After this the shank of an anchor was drawn out of the forge fire, and th com menced welding it, to show th e contrast in that mode of beating out iron and the much more expeditious and less laborious mode by the steam-hammer. From the black smith's shop the party proceeded to the saw-mills, and wit. nessed the process of sawing the timber by the steam-saws, and thence to the block machinery ; but the strap of the shape-machine having broken after a few turns of the cylin der, prevented the further exhibition of blockmak mg. The Imperial party then proceeded aloft, and witnessed the formation and finishing of the sheaves for the blocks, polishing the bolts, fixing the cogs, &c., with which they expressed great satisfaction. By the time the finishing de partment had been gone through the strap of the shaping machine had been readjusted, when the party descended to witness the manufacture of blocks. The plan of manufacture, as patented by Mr. Brewer, or Bermondsey, was shown as the plan upon which all future blocks will be made in this dock yard, and the old plan was also pointed out to the illustrious visitors. It being now nearly one o'clock the party returned to the Admiralty-house to luncheon. At half-past one the Grand Duke and party, accompanied by Sir Charles Ogle, Sir Charles Malcolm, and other officers, embarked in the Admiralty barge from the King's-stairs in the dockyard, and proceeded to the Excellent guillarYlhiP? Captain Chads, where the Prince Was witness to some " ex . cellent" practice. His Excellency Baron Brumnow, the Russian Ambassador, arrived at three o'clock, and met the Imperial party on their return from the Excellent, and at fifteen minutes past three the whole wait on board the royal yacht, which they left at half-past three, and again landed at the dockyard, and pro ceeded to the Admiralty-house, where (after visiting some friends at the George Hotel) the Grand Duke and suite will be ent:rtained this evening. His Highness wishes his visit to be considered strictly A private one, consequently no extra saluting or ceremony has been observed. A superintendent of the metropolitan police and as sistants are in attendance upon the Prince during his so journ here. The yacht built for the Emperor of Russia by Mr. Joseph White ' of East Cowes, a splendid s c h ooner , was to be launched this morning, named, by her Majesty's especial permission, " Queen Victoria." His Highness the Gran d Duke and a brilliant party were expected to have been pre sent, but they were not. ASCOT HEATH RACES THURSDAY. For the first time, we believe, since her accession, the cup day has been deprived of the presence of the Queen. In other times this would have been a severe blow to the meeting ; but it is fortunate that the national taste for racing, whether regarded as a pastime or as a source of gambling, has of late been so much encouraged by the increase of the quality and importance of the sport, that all " grand' occasions are certain to command a crowded attendance. And it happened that the princi pal race of the week, "the Emperor's Vase," a magificent substitution for the old Ascot Cup, and one of the few remaining prizes for which good horses are suffered to cotrione on fair terms, although it was not so prolific of legitimate spculation as might have been expected, proetuced its wont: d excitement amongst the public, and the- fineness of the weatht r ffrred every inducement to the enjoyment of out-door amusements. If, therefore, as loyal subjects, we must regret the absence of what has always been recognised as the crowning feature of the day. we must, as honest journalists, declare our belief that either from the intrinsic attractions of the list, from a belief that Ibrahim Pacha would avail himself of so favourable an opportunity of con tritsling British with French racing, or frail the two causes combined, the assemblage on the Heath yesterday aft,rnoon has seldom been exceeded innumber. In the grade of the company, we admit there was a falling off. Of the " horrors" of the rail and the road—arising from over-eageruess on one side, and want of foresight on the other, we are not in a position to speak. ,Having taken up our quarters for the nonce in the neighbour hood of the course, we are, happily for our own comfort, ignorant of the numberless annoyances and dangers to which those were exposed who, in their pursuit of plea sure, encountered the mob at Paddington and Slough, or the crowded thoroughfares from Windsor and Staines. We have heard they were quite on a par with any bygone Cup Day ; and, looking at the throng on the Heath yesterday, the crowded state of the stands, and the heated, " used-up" appearance of the thousands who, rather than submit to the impositions of the coach and " bus" proprietors, had been induced to walk ( e ight miles " against the collar") from the station, we can readily give credit to all we heard, and are equally dis posed to imagine that the return must have effaced any pleasurable feeling that the superior character of the racing or the visit of the illustrious Egyptian may have left. It is not a little surprising that the route from Woking, via the South Western Rail way was not more generally adepted. The dis tance is the same as from Slough, the road tolerable, and would have been better, had it not been for the quantity of broken stones laid down to be pul verized by the race-going vehicles There was abund ance of accommodation at Woking, in the shape of well horsed stage coaches, phaetons, &c., provided, in con junction with the South-Western Railway, by Mr. Goodram, of Guildford. It will be beneficial to the public to make this route better known to them, as it will create a diversion that will cure the confusion, and diminish the expense attendant in coming to Slough and Windsor. The distance to the course by Nine Elms and Woking was performed yesterday most comfortably in two hours, and at insignificant expense. Precisely at a quarter past one, three of the Royal cariages Isere seen at the entrance of the straight mile , coining slowly along, preceded by two scarlet-liveri ed out riders. A rush was immediately made to the rails, aria the balconies and roof of the Grand Stand b-Cam e instantly filled, for it was known that the Hereditary Prince of Egypt had arrived. No shout or cry of recog nition was raised until he came opposite the Grand Stand, when he was cordially, but not boisterouslYs gree'ed by those assembled about the spot. He rode t d the first carnage, accompanied by two of his suite an Major Dickson ; the two other carriages contained tbe Earl of Jersvy, Major-General Wemyss, and C olonel Bowles. At, this moment the weather was most genial ; a few . fleecy clouds threw a cooling veil over the sun, and : tialtny north-east wind blew refreshingly across the course. We never saw the Grand Stand show to g reater adv,ntage. The grassy declivity hef re it was almos t in conveniently thronged by the mate elite of the count r y , and a finer gathering of gen,lemen we do not remembe r having set .n. Behind them, on seats, and above them on the balconies, were a galaxy of beauty and fashion, that all Circassia and Georgia could not eclipse. The course itself presented a most animated appearance ; the booths were deserted, the carriages cro.vtled with spectators, and the rails bordering the straight mile now leant upon by thausand , of at least temporarily happy beings His Highness, the Pacha, took his place at the middle win dow of the R:yal Stand. He was plainly dressed in a tdue cloth wrapper, over a jacket of the same colour, very slightly embroidered. He wore the common Greek eel ) of red velvet, without ornament. From beneath his wrapper. on the left side, appeared the plain hilt of large yatagan. Major Dickson explained to him e na , ure of the course, and its different lengths for differ" ent races. He seemed to take a lively interest. in the explanation. His featur s were full of vivaca"Yirann. gestures quick, and somewhat exaggerated , a l caise. The different contests excited his nded tion and admiration, and we fear—(he was surroll Over by fair women)—that he forgot his gallantry, powered, no doubt, by the, to him, attractive novelty_ ve of a royal English race-course. He could never ha seen such steeds and fleetness of hoof before. Between this race and that for the Emperor's cup,. hundreds of fashionables arrived, and at the period of that event coming off the Grand Stand was a perfect hive intense atten of beauty, rank, and fashion. We heard one of the Oldest and most celebrated racing men alive say, that he did not recollect having seen so numerous and brilliant a meeting before. The race for the Emperor's cup was a well-contested one in the opinion of most persons, and Ibrahim Pacha never took his eyes off the horses from first to last. It was the first great quadrupedal contest he ever saw, and, if we may judge from his countenance, it' afforded him much satisfaction. Immediately after the' next race his Highness left the course in the same order he came upon it. He was pretty generally cheered as' he departed, but we regret to say that more than one' long and shrill whistle proceeded from some parties in• the carriages opposite the Grand Stand as he passed ht them. His Higness never failed during the day to knowledge any nas festation of respect paid to him`' The absence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert Wes : universally regretted. Prince George of Cambr i dg u e , happily was present, and was assiduous in his attentiw; to the illustrious stranger. The weather was through° magnificent, and no serious casualty occurred within our,, cognizance to mar the pleasureable effects of this g ran racing gala. The racing commenced a few minutes be fore tate, and finished at a quarter past six. Her Majesty's Plate of 100 gs; three yrs old, 7st 21b; f b ., t l 9st 21b; live, lOst ; six and aged, lOst 51b.
