Already has the new Administration commenced its Parliamentary labours ; the first chapter of the Ministerial catechism in the Commons was perused overnight, and the answers of the Prime Minister and his associates was (considering the uproar of curiosity which prevailed among their inquirers), to all intents and purposes, satisfactory. It would be the very acme of absurdity to anticipate any decisive movements on the mere inauguration of a new Cabinet, and hence no rational observer will have experienced anything like disappointment at the proceedings of yesterday evening. An immediate introduction of reformatory measures, before the excitement conse quent upon their nomination to office, or an explicit revelation of their intentions, would augur but little for the wisdom or the precision of the Ministry, when it is remembered that their Parliamentary numbers are, up to the present moment, incomplete. The public is, therefore, abandoned to the same uncertainty with reference to the course which Lord J. RUSSELL and his'adlierents will determine, or have determined, upon following about the various important questions to be submitted to the decision of Parliament. Neverthe less, for the reasons which we have already intimated, we consider this apparent hesitation of the Ministry to be a conspicuous evidence of their sagacity and forethought. Although their official entrance into the Lower House was almost entirely remark able -for the torrent of inquiries with which they were instantly greeted, and for the adroit evasion of those inquiries by themselves, that even ing's performance of our legislators was not wholly destitute of interest. Although the lips of the Cabinet Councillors are virtually sealed for the nonce, and the nature of their forthcoming announcements as dubious as heretofore, we can, notwithstan ling, obtain a glimpse of the futurity which awaits the present Government from the circumstances atten dant upon their first occupation of the Ministerial benches. Those circumstances are significant enough of the popularity of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Adminis tration and of the activity which has characterised th' preliminary movements of its members—no less than eleven of the newly-elected Ministers simultaneously returned to Parliament as the representatives of their several constituencies. And this fact necessarily in spires us with sentitt.ents ofgratification and hopeful ness, since, from the recent issuing of the writs for those different elections, from the scattered position of the boroughs and counties, and their distance from the seat of government, eleven new Members, all without exception of the most liberal principles, are in finitely more than could have been anticipated eight months ago. Nor is the mere coincidence of their unanimous return by their electors the only propi tious fact among those circumstances; on the con trary, there is one of a still more encouraging cha racter, namely, the enthusiasm which has been testi fied in those different borough and county elections in favour, not so much of the candidates, as of the noble and enlarging principles of which they were the ex ponents and the advocates. The Premier, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, was proclaimed the representative of the citizens of London by acclamation. Sir GEORGE GREY, the Home Secretary, was returned by the enfran chised people of Devonport with similar unanimity and similar expressions of satisfaction. Colonel Pox, the Surveyor of the Ordnance,was declared by the returning officer to be duly elected as the representative of the Tower Hamlets, notwithstanding a feeble and blunder ing effort to advance an opposing candidate. Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE, President of the Board of Control, was acknowledged to be the recipient of the suffrages of Nottingham, in the teeth of an earnest and pertinacious opposition. Lord PALMERSTON, the Foreign Secretary, was returned for Tiverton with out a dissentient voice. Mr. JERVIS, the Attorney. General, in like manner, has, so to speak, received his credentials from the electors of Chester. Mr. LABOUCIIEBE, Secretary for Ireland, with the universal applause of his constitu ency, was pronounced to be the representative of Taunton. Admiral DUNDAS, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, was speedily reinstated in his dignity as Member for Greenwich, without even a hint at oppo sition. Mr. C. Wool), Chancellor of the Exchequer, after the mere phantom of an antagonist had been put in nomination at Halifax was declared to be the successful candidate for that borough. Lord MARCUS HILL, Comptroller of the Household, obtained, it because the tenant could not be assured that he should enjoy an adequate return for the capital expended, either in the length and certainty of his tenure, or in the obtaining a fair compensation for his outlay and labour on quitting his farm. We ex pressed our regret that it was not retrospective in its nature, and that it allowed compensation only for im provements hereafter to be effected, hut that no allow ance was to be made for the improvements of a similar nature, which had already taken place ; we do not conceive that there would be any extraordinary diffi culty in estimating the value of such improvements, the time when they were made, and the allowance to which the tenant should be entitled therefore—the same machinery which is adopted for the other purposes mentioned in the Bill would be amply sufficient for that also. Had such a law been in operation, we should hay e been spared the contemplation of the painful scene which recently took place at Bird Hill, in the county of Tipperary, where a tenant, who had expended his entire capital in erecting a dwelling-house and other buildings, to the amount of over 1,500/.,was turned, with his family, on the wide world, for an arrear of rent amounting to not more than one-sixth of the sum ex pended by him within a few short years, and which arrear may be recovered from him by an action for mesne rates, if he should have enough left to gratify the cupidity of his landlord ; but if the mea sure should not be extended during the present ses sion, at least let it be carried into effect as it now stands, and let the earliest and most serious considera tion of the Government be devoted to the subject, in which, of all others, the happiness and prosperity cf our sister kingdom is so dependent. The cultivation of the waste lands—the providing of abundant em ployment for the surplus population by means thereof —the creation of a sturdy and independent yeomanry on the lands so reclaimed—the extension of the Ulster tenant right, which has been found to act so well in such parts of the country as it is in operation, throughout the entire kingdom —are all of the most serious importance, and afford a wide field for the labours of the philanthropist and the statesman. We continues to be the chief topic of comment in them. The Moniteur makes the following official announce ment : " We are happy to be able to announce that the aide-de camp of General Oudinot, whom we had counted among the number of victims of the deplorable accident of which the Northern Railway has been the theatre, has not sunk under his wounds. There are, on the contrary, great hopes of his recovery. Thus, the number of persons killed, including the two conducteurs, amount to 14. The latest accounts, brought on Satur lay evening by M. Frissard, divisionary inspector, who visited the scene by order of the Minister of Public Works, enable us to affirm that we shall not have to announce and deplore any further deaths." Notwithstanding this announcement, however, the general belief in Paris was, that upwards of fifty per sons had perished. The conducteur bourgeois states that there were thirty-five persons in the waggon which was overturned into the morass. The accident is said to have been occasioned by the engineer suddenly shutting off the steam and stopping the engine, when the impetus of the carriages behind forced the middle carriages off the rails. The official report of M. FRISSARD Com pletely confirms the report addressed to the Company by the Sub-Inspector. The KING of the FRENCH, on hearing of the accident, immediately dispatched his aide-de-camp, General RUMIGNY, to the spot. The Tapers and the Tadpoles of the French Oppo sition are sadly in want of a " good cry " on which to go to the people at the next election. The " Pritchard indemnity " cry is felt to be somewhat stale, yet it is the best they have; so that there can be little doubt but that the Ministry will have as large a majority in the next Chamber as they had in the late one : The trial of Dr. CONNEAU and CHARLES THELIN, for aiding and abetting in the escape of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON ; and of M. DEMARLE, commandant of the fortress of Ham, and two keepers, for neglect of duty; has just taken place before the Correctional Tribunal of Peronne. The proceedings lasted three days. The only evidence that presents the slightest interest is the following:— "Dr. Conneau, one of the prisoners, deposed that he had been connected with the family of Prince Louis Napoleon since 1820, having been for about nine months secretary to his father. He afterwards went to Florence and Rome, and finished his medical studies there. He practised at Rome for three years, and was at last obliged to quit that city, for having, in 1830, given an asylum to two of nis friends, when sought for by the police ; and for having, in 1831, dressed the wound of another friend, who had been hurt in a disturbance at Rome. Witness after that joined the Prince at Aremberi , , and remained there until the death of Queen Hortense, who in dying laid an injunction on him to remain always with her son. When the Prince was ordered to be co,tined at Ham, witness obtained permission to remain with him, and was allowed to go out and in as he pleased. Witness considered himself to have been kindly treated by the Government in being thus permitted to remain with the Prince on such favourable'conditions, and looked on himself as under obliga tions to it, but not to such an extent as to be obliged to betray to it the intentions of the Prince. In October last, M. Poggicli, a laws :r, came from Florence. with letters from M.M. Montalivet. Decazes, and Mold, praying them to exert themselves to obtain the Prince's pardon, but their endea vours were without result. In November the Prince wrote to the Minister of the Interior to obtain a temporary liberty to see his father, but his proposition was not accepted. He also wrote to the King, which. letter was published in the journals. In the month of May the Prince, finding all his efforts of no avail, determined to attempt an escape. The Prince's health was at this time indifferent, and witness had applied for the favour of having him removed to some mineral bathing place. This course had been pre scribed by Drs. }larjulin, Larrey, and Lacroix. Thisap plication was also replied to in the negative. He learned, also, at the same time, from Loid Londonderry, who had exerted himself to procure his liberation, that he g w ly a p te r h o e v d ide h d ia t opportunity.l clothes in saw no hope of succeeding. The Prince determined to avail himself of the occasion of workmen being in the fortress to attemptwhh he his afterwards evasion.He escaped, e anddin On May 25th the Prince disguised him self about half-past r six, cut off his moustaches, dyed his whisk ers black, an d put on a black wig. Thelin gave a glass of brandy to one of t h e workmen, and witness watched who passed in t h e corridor. The Prince then left the room, and witness did not see h int afterwards. Witness desired, if possible, to conceal the escape for 24 hours, and for that purpose informed the keeper when he called that the Prince was ill. When the commandant called, about nine o'clock, witness, who was on the watch, came forward to meet him, and observed that, if tie matter was not pressing, it was better not to disturb the Prince, as he was ill. The commandant withdrew, and called again at half-past twelve. Witness told him that the Prince slept, and the other went away, though reluctantly. In the evening he called again, and insisted on seeing the Prince, and witness took him into the inner room. the Prince's bed chamber. Witness hail placed a figure in the bed, and going up to it, spoke as if to the Prince; receiving, of course, no answer. He came back to the commandant, aid made a possible, a more undoubted welcome at Evesham, and the Hon. Captain BERKELEY, another of the Lords of the Admiralty, as the phrase goes, " walked over the course" for the representation of Gloucester. Other instances of this enthusiastic welcome of the Ministerial candidates might be adduced and particu larised in the person of the Hon. Mr. CowrEß, Sir DENIS LE MARCHANT, and others; but we shall conclude the catalogue of electioneering memora bilia by a reference to the j abilant returi, of the Right Honourable RICHARD LALok SIIEIL for the borough of Dungarvan. We have cast this retrospective glance at the transactions which have recently transpired in the provinces, because in them we recognise the satisfaction of the British people with the character and principles of the R us sELL Administration. From these electioneering remi niscenses we may deduce the prevailing sentiments of the nation, and in their unanimity behold an emphatic tribute to those who have realised the brightest hopes of free trade, and an emphatic sanction of the new Cabinet and its leader. After such fortunate pre liminaries we may anticipate largely. cannot hope for an immediate settlement of these questions, but we trust that before the next session the Government intentions with respect thereto will be fully matured and laid before the public for their approval. Accounts from Basle of the 10th state, that Austria was concentrating troops on the frontiers of Switzer. land, in order to watch the progress of events. On the 7th the Diet decided that a federal camp should be assembled this year as usual. The proposition was opposed by the partisans of the Jesuits, but their opposition was unavailing. The Catholic body had again protested against the secu larisation of the convents of Argovia. The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence from Syria, Constantinople, and Greece, to the 27th June, and from Malta to the 4th July. At that date the Lebanon was completely pacified. It was re ported at Constantinople that the Russians had sus tained some reverses in Deghestan. Greece still con tinued infested with brigands. The KING and QUEEN had been on a tour in the Peloponnessus. It was ex pected that the Prince DE JOINVILLE would visit Malta. The mail also brings accounts from Alex andria to the 29th. MEuEmET Ara was anxiously expecting the arrival of HAMID BET, who is to escort him to Constantinople. The PAcRA intended to sail two days after HASSID'S arrival. HAMID left Constantinople on the 27th. The Russian Consul, M. Fos, had in formed MEIIEMET Ara that both the English and French AmbEssadors had raised objections at Constan tinople to his visit. Madrid papers to the 7Lh have arrived. They con tain intelligence from Portugal to the 2d. At that time the Miguelite movement had been completely suppressed. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 7.—The Three per Cents. were done at 32% for cash, and 33 for paper; the Five per Cents at 20% for cash; the Debt without Interest, at 6 3 / 4 for cash; the shares of the Bat.k of San Fernando, at 281; and those of Isabel, at 197. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The accident on the Great Northern RAilway si The principal members of the new Administration last night took their places in the House for the first time after their re-election. It would, of course, have been impossible for them to have maturely con sidered the course to be adopted by them on the various questions of consequence which were alluded to in the course of the evening, or to be enabled to state the line of conduct to be pursued with respect to each. All that could be hoped for was that an early day would be appointed that the Ministerial intentions might be fully set forth as to the various measures of the late Government which would be proceeded with, dropped or altered in some particulars during the present session. The Premier has fixed Thursday next for his important explanation, and it must be admitted that nu unreasonable delay has been demanded for that purpose. The public attention in Ireland has been particularly directed to the three Bills brought forward by Lord LINCOLN immediately before his retiring from office, for the improvement of the relationship between landlord and tenant, by granting compensation to the tenants for permanent and valuable improvements effected by them on their holdings during their occupation, it subsequently deprived of the enjoyment thereof, and also for the improvement of the law relating to ejectment, and the diminution of stamp duties on leases—for, although these Bills by no means go far enough, or effect all that is required on thes r u te subject, yet yet they were received by all classes and pa valuable improvements and moves in the right direc tion, the principle of which would, without doubt, be much extended in the next ses sion. We were, therefore, much gratified by the statement made with respect thereto by the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland, who said that he had, with others, been engaged in a careful examination of those measures, with a view of seeing whether any benefit in them to Ireland could not be se cured notwithstanding the change of Government, and promised that the Premier or himself would, on Thursday, state the course the Government would take with respect to them. We have already pointed out the vast importance of the first of these measures: improvements of the greatest consequence both to landlord and tenant, calculated permanently to in create the value of the farms, have not been effected, sign to him that the patient was aNleep. The commandant said, He cannot remain all day asleep. I wait until he wakes' He then sat dqwn, looking at the bed, and a little after exclaimed, • Ali! hr is about to awake; he stirs!' The commandant then listened, and not hearing any breath ing. he went over to the bed, and discovered the deceit. He lit'once turned toward witness, and said,' The Prince is go:le!

'Witness then called the man just alluded to, and on interrogating him, finding that he had not seen the Prince since the morn ing, he determined to go again to the Prince's room. He then discovered the evasion. itness, in the course of his interrogatory, declared that he believed the keepers to be perfectly free from all knowledge or participation in what had taken place.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. EXPLOSIONS IN COAL MINES. The following are the more important portions of the report of the gases and explosions in collieries, by Sir Henry T. De la Beebe and Dr. Lyon Play fair (just presented to Parliament by command of her Majesty). SIR HENRY T. DE LA RECUR AND DR. LYON PLAYFAIR TO VISCOUNT CANNING. Museum of Economic Geology, June 1, 1846. My Lord—Having in conformity with the instruc tions contained in the Earl of Lincoln's letter of the 27th August, 1845, directed our attention to the composition of the gases evolved from coal beds, to the mode of ven tilating collieries, arid to the subject of explosions in them generally, we have the honour to submit the fol lowing statement for consideration. The general result of our examination is, that the only inflammable constituent present in the explo• sive gas of collieries is carburetted hydrogen or the damp ; there is not if trace of ()latent gas, and only in one out of' the eight gases analysed is there hydrogen. It follows from the previous analyses that the issue of fira damp into the atmosphere of a mine must deteriorate the air by addirg en undue pro portion of nitrogen gas; in one case this gas amounts to twenty-one per cent. During an explosion the oxygen nece-sary to the respiration of the workers is removed by uniting with the carbon of the fire damp, and thus producing carbonic acid, a gas most fatal to animal life. This carbonic acid, mixed with the residual nitrogen of the atmosphel re and that present in the explosive gas itself, forms what is termed after-damp, which produces effects more fatal even than those arising from the explo sien. It often happens that after an explosion a sufficient gnantity of oxygen remains to support the repiratiun of those who sury lye its effects, were it not for the pre sence of carbonic acid. This gas when present, in no greater proportion than one or two per cent., is capable of producing the most injurious effects. It has therefore been sueges:ed :hat cheap mixture* made of substances capable of absorbing carbonic acid, such as glauber salts and lime, would prove useful to those who try to aid tee sufferers after the explosion. Such a mixture-, placed in a coarse bag and applied to the mouth, would effectually absorb the carbonic acid and prevent it exercising ait in jurious effect on the respiration. Certainly the want of some such precaution in the case of the Jarrow explosion caused the death of a very meritorious man, Jacob Ditty, the overman of the pit. An explosion is, however, generally attended with much more complex-results than those described as at tending the combustion of earburetted hydrogen. The amount of fire &Map which may be at first ignited may be trivial, and yet produce the most disastrous effgts. From its lightness it accumulates at the upper part of the passages, and diffuses with considerable difficulty, often acting as a train,'and communicating the explosion to the pint-up reservoirs of gas in . the gears. It is thus that in almost all accounts of explosions two are. gene rally described as taking place ; the first local and at the seat of the explosion ; the second more general, and aided by an accumulation of foul gas in other parts of the pit. In 1835 a Select Committee of the House of Commons was appointed to inquire " into the nature, cause, and extent of those lamentable catastrophes from explosions which have occurred in the mines of Great Britain, with the view of ascertaining and suggesting the means of preventing the recurrence of similar fatal accidents." The Committee were enabled to ascertain that during the twenty-five years preceding these inquiries, 2,070 persons had perished from colliery explosions ; and they considered this number much underrated. During e•Ye I the last ten years the rate of loss of life from this cause has certainly not diminished. The experience of the •. •• past year has shown that considerably more than 100 •• •• persons have been known to have thus perished. •• e paya It has so unfortunately happened that during the • • 4 few months we have been engaged upon this inquiry ent •• ' two explosions, one at J a rr ow , i n D ur h am, and t h e other es at Risca, in Monmouthshire, have together deprived seventy-six persons of their lives, forty-one having 'AID. perished at the former, and thirty-five at the latter. As much doubt has been thrown upon the real . 10 15 0 safety of the Davy l a mp, it i s b ut j ust i ce to the in 2 memory of Sir Humphry Davy to state that he was ..425. perfectly aware that, if a proper mixture of .. to 21 fire damp and common air were th ro w n aga i nst .. 2 the lamp with sufficient force to project the flame 2 upon the getize cylinder, it might communicate with the n's) 2 flame, and caa,e explosion. 'Mr. Buddle, in his evidence (Report of Committee of 1835, No. 2,226 and 2,227), 141. I clearly shows this to have been the case. lie mention, toe an experiment at Morton West pit, where a very power ,. 1. 61. ful blower from the shaft was tried with the lamp, when p. 2. • 6/, the flame passed end th e bl ower was fired. Sir Humphry •• • Davy then. addressing Lord Durham and many - other . • persons who were present, said, " Now, gentlemen, you see the nature of the daeg e r t o w hi c h you are exposed in using the lamp, and I caution you to guard against it in the manner I have shown you. This is to shoW the only case in which the lamp will explode ; and I caution and warn you not to use it in any such case when ou can avoid it without using the shield." The shield re commended was one of tin, inside the cylinder, to pre sent a current of" fire damp" from acting on the flame. Mr. Buddle stated before the committee that in the lamps used in the collieries under his management the shield passed from oneehalf to two-thirds round the inside of the cylinder, and, being bright, reflected the light to such an extent as to be more advantageous than a •• •• •• •• t glass cylieder inside that of wire gauze, a contrivance - awn recommended to obviate the risk of currents ot fire damp. Without desiring, in the slightest degree, to cast un necessary doubt on the safety of the Davy lump, sine, we consider its cautious use an immense boon to coal mining, and believe that much additional security is ob tained by the proper use of the oft inal Davy, or of it, improvements, it can scarcely be denied that far more care in the use of safety lamps is needed than is era.- ...a, [nobly employed. Although shields or glass cylinder:* ••'• •• •• • • 8 % are used in some localities, they are never emploj vd in •• •••• • • • 2 4 others ; an] the bare single cylinder of eke gauze, n •..•• •• 256 I always properly manufactured, is the only form in w'h'ich ' ' the Day) lamp is known. And it should he obsess, d, that with a few local exceptions, the Day) lamp is that commonly employed. Numerous tuedi6cations. and in some eases itnprovemeht , ,ot the safly limp have been made ; but, either from the expense, or want of 1 234 plicity in management, have never come generally 15% into use. 3 It has been at various times proposed, during the last 14 eight years, to employ electricity as a means of • e lighting collieries. The electricity, streaming be tween two charcoal points from a Glove's or Bunsen's battery, affords a light of much beauty. and perfectly safe, if completely surrounded by glass, but capable of igniting an explosive mixture if ex posed. Professor Grove has constructed a lamp on this principle, which ho kindly prepared for us, and which we have examined in acti on . I t cons i sted of a box, con taming four galvanic cells, and the light, was obtained . •• •• •• - - by the passage of electricity between two coils of plati - 2 .... i . •,* num wire. These were surrounded with glass vessels: nee ' the inner one for the purpose of isolation, the exterior one being filled with water, so as to destroy the light should the inner glass vessel be broken. The light given out was rather more than that of a minor's candle. This, certainly, is a safe lamp, but in its present state, still unfitted for the purpose of the collier as at pre; ent ar rerged. The acids, sulphuric and nitric, render the lamp so inconveniently heavy, that both hands must be used in carrying it; besides, from not being covered, the spilling of these corrosive liquids on the persons of the miners could scarcely avoided. The water in the ex terior vessel soon becomes heated, at d ultimately boils, and the light only lasts in proper strength tor two or three hours. There must, therefore, be considerable modification in this lamp before it can be rendered avail able for ordinary mining purpo , es, which we may readily expect, from the acknoaludged talent of its inventor. Great improvement* were introduced in the ventila tion of collieries in many districts, when the course of air was quickened by means of a furnace established near the bottom of the upcast shaft, or through that which the foul air passes outwards, and more particu larly when, in the north of England, instead of per mitting the air introduced by the downcast shaft to pass slowly and imperfectly along a course if twenty or thirty uli:es of passages, it was split or divided into separate courses, from two to six miles in length. Those, how ever, who may possess an extended acquaintance with our collieries in different p. rrs of the country cannot but be aware, that as a whole th(-ir generai ventilation is very imperfect, good as it may be in some collieries, partieu lariy in certain districts.

The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. ' Sales, 6,000 bales, 500 being fur export and 1,500 on specu tion. The finer descriptions were scarcest. Shares were rather drooping. Perhaps no visit made by Ibrahim Pacha will tend more to advance the mercantile intercourse between this country and Egypt than that of Saturday, when not only the Royal Exchange, but Lloyd's Coffee and' Underwriting-house were honoured by the presence of the intelligent individual just named. Mr. G. R. Robinson, the Chairman of Lloyd's, had, through the inter preter of the Pacha, very many questions put to him respecting the mode in which the business of this vast establishment was conducted. and we are told that the Egyptian Prince was astonished at the ready manner in which lines of from 1,0001. to 5.000/. or more were taken upon a sea risk. From what fell from the Paths, there is no doubt but that vast improvements are in tended in conducting the Custom-house arrangements of the p,rts of Egyp!, and also that as tar as pos-ible every en courat_ement will be given to promote the commerce t:tween the two countries. There has ten pretty general satisfaction expressed at the course which Lord John Russell has announced it as being his intention to pursue upon the subject of the sugar ditties, as by providing for a short continuance of the present duty, and ,yet announcing his plan for the future, the injurious consequence of a sudden cl ange will be averted, and at the same time, uncertainty will be remove'. It appears from an official return, that the number of ships employed in the timber trade with the North Ameri can colonies, was, in 1841, 1,643, of 681,147 tons, and em ploying 22,894 men. In 1845, the numbers were 2,086 ships, 771,370 tons, and 29,191 men.

DUNBAR, JULY 12.—The Catherine, 3Plutyre, of Dumbarton, from shields, was assisted into Skatsrow harbour this morning, ells masttil ARRIVAL THE CALEDONIA. EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING, Six o'CLocK. The British and North American Royal Mail steam ship, Captain Lott, arrived here last eight, about half. past eleven o'clock. She sailed from Boston on the 1,4 inst., and Halifax on the 3d, making the passage, in cluding her call and stay at Halifax, in about twelve days and a half. The Caledonia had 102 passengers and the semi-monthly mails from Canada and the Utited States. The Britannia arrived at Halifax on the 2,1 inst. By this arrival we have received New York papers of the 30th ult., being five days later than those brought over by the Great Western. We have also received New Orleans, Charleston, Philadelphia, Washington, and Thaton papers to the latest dates, as well as files from several parts of Canada, and other ports of the British American provinces. The news in the United States papers, although it cannot be styled important, is on the whole of an interesting character, having spe cial reference to the " American tariff," the Mexican war, affairs in Mexico, business prospects, &c. With regard to the tariff, we are informed by the papers just come to hand that the debate thereon was to be ended on the 2d inst. It seems that the fate of that measure is universally anticipated, as the public has made up its mind to reduce the tariff. In the event of the House ace •ding to the free trade " views of Mr. Secretary Walker, it is expected that Mr. Webster will propose a compromise in the Senate, and that his plan will finally pass both Houses of Congress w ith ou t a ny serious or determined opposition. There is not any news of a definite character from the seat of War. Advices have been received from Matarnoras up to the 12th ult. In our summary of the news by the Great Western, we mentioned that General Taylor was on his way to Reinoso, in New Leon. The advises come to hand by the Caledonia inform us that the inhabitants of that town had surrendered without resistance, and that the authorities of Camargo had sent a deputation to General Taylor, offering him full possession of that place. The facts have been blazoned forth in all the New York papers with an air of importance quite beyond their merits. To talk and write of such " brilliant achievements" as have been performed by the " army of occupation" is too bad. Paredes was collecting his forces at a mountain pass near Monterey, where, if anywhere, he will interrupt the march of the United States army. The western expedition into New Mexico was expected to take up its march from the Missouri between the 15th and 20th of June. Some of the leading New York journals appear tired of the war, and would gladly have it ended. The United States Go vernment are ready to receive any overtures that may be made by Mexico for arranging their dif ferences by other means, instead of murderous swords and bayonets, and the,destructive volleys of great and small guns; notwithstanding the Aaserican Govern ment are active and energetic in their prepiArations for prosecuting the war, should it be necesiary to do ,o. Arms and ammunition, with a number of artille rymen, had been dispatched to the Pacific, and would be stationed either at Monterey or the Bay of San Francisco. It was reported both ut Washington and New York, previous to the sailing of the Caledonia, that Mr. M'l)uffie, the newly -appointed Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, was preparing the basis of an arrangement for the adjustment of the difficulties with Mexico, and it was confidently expected that he would submit his plan to the President and the Senate before July 4. The news from Mexico extend to the commencement of June. It was thought Paredes would have 16,000 men in the field against the forces of General Taylor. He was to take the command in person. General Mejja has. superseded Arista. General Alvarez has possession of the city of Acapulco, on the Pacific, where he has raised the standard of "Federation," within 300 miles of the capital. Yucutan has formally declared its independ ence under President Barbachano. Tampico has de dlared in favour of the federative principle hut is divided on • the question of the Presidency, General Anastasio Parrodi being in favour of Santa Anna. The northern departinerlts of Tarnaulip.is, Chihuahua, and Zacetecas, and we believe New Leon, Coahuila, San Louis Potosi, New Mexico, Santa Fe, Sonora arid Cali fornia, or the whole of Mexico above the 24th parallel of north latitude, propose to organize a separate re public, under the protection of the American army preparatory to annexation to the United States Yucutan also desires to come into the confederacy of sovereign and independent States. The most ex traordinary enthusiasm seems to prevail among a large part of the Mexican people, the Yucatecos particularly, in favour of annexation. It is remarkable that people, who have had so little intercourse with the Northern Republic,—who have been, as it were, shut out from the -Americans, should thus voluntarily seek admission to the great confederacy. It is an act of homage to the federative principle of Government, which ought to make a lasting impression upon all civilised nations. Nor is it less remarkable than the views lately broached in the British Parliament by Lord Bentinek, who proposed to amend the British . . constitution, by incorporating the colonies as integral portions of the empire, or as states having their own dotn«.stic legislatures, establishing a fuderative monarchy to which neighbouring cornar:mwealths and nations would naturally annex themselves. Thus the sui:'eriur races on die Eastern Iletniipht,re ai!tl their , leicendants on the Western might become the conservators of peace and good government throughout the world. CANADA.

'The ecri.•tary of the company read the report, fro which it appears the profits of the year 1845 amoti rted to about 3 0001. The report having been received,.a dividend w as d eclared, severa l outgoing dlree! ors were re-elected, and the usqal compliment having bleu paid to the chair, the meeting bcolie up. far more secure from danger than he now does, if a aglisd that the state was not neglectful of his safety. Though several collieries in particular districts poi' seas good plans and sections of their workings, and 11 2 1 inspection of such plans and sections affords a 'lel': the system of ventilation and general mode of wail adopted, this is far trout being the case generally, 01 has been much regretted alike by the enlighted coal: owners and by the public. The importance of cove; plans and sections has been prominently pointed oaf both by the Committee of the House of Commons iTh 1835, and in the report of the South Shields Cominittr s of 1843; indeed, the n ecess ity o f th em is sufficiently obvious. Should the suggestion of a system of judicious ins Per tiun be deemed worthy of consideration, the ream access to proper plus and sectio n s o f c olli er ies, brough t up to given times, would necessarily form a part Of e' ll 4 general syt.tem of regulati o n s . If correc t (a n d power ascertain that they were so would be essential), the! would at once disclose the system of working and vent': la.tion adopted, and, with i n f o rm a ti on respecting police regulati o ns, an d au accoun t o f t h e ki n d of Hth v O" employed, would at once afford a general view of th e mode of conducting any particular colliery, arid of th e adjUstmeat of the workings to conditions. It being considered that safety lamps, properly usec l ' do effect much secur ity i n t h e wor ki n g o f coa l, an d that in so many cases explosions do take place when they ar e n.tt. employed, it has often been suggested that the Le; gislature should com . rel the general use of safety lateP in coal mines. But, on the other hand, there are moray collieries in which tire d am p 11.ver appears, and it woo,' justly be considered a hardship in such cases to compe l precauti la altogether unnecessary. We would suggest that it could not be considered e li ' just for the Legislature to compel the use of safety istK" in all fiery collieries; and, in the present state of tb e law of property, it Ent7it even be prudent to ast ,lll)3e that all collieries in districts where explosions have bee° fr. fluent are fiery, putting the onus probandi that the) are not upon the owners of such cAlierie., it proved t° the satisfaction of inspectors that no reit-.na.ble danger was to be apprehended in their collieries, lice.:•se 101 1 ; ti ,, be given or them to work with naked candles, this cense ceasing at short periods. but being renewat of ascertaining that the condition of the mine hat P altered. Careful investigations into the causes of explosiono ? i f . collieries, only p ar t o f which arrest public attention their magnitude, ap i .tear to have led to the very genet% conclusion that the condition of our collieries is o° 6 ' unequal.
