GL ORY TO THE MEN OF GLASGOW ! THE BANNER OF REFORM STILL FLOATS UNTARNISHED ON THE CITADEL OF THE WEST ! The Glasgow Reformers are deserving of all pos sible praise from the Reformers. By their generous exertions—by their undoubted unanimity—by their ability to discriminate between the true and the false, the substance and the shadow—the sound Reformer and the sophistical Tory—a triumph has been gained for the good cause, the moral effect of which will be irresistible. Mr. MONTEITH, the defeated candi date—the defeated by an overwhelming ma;ority—the defeated, despite the exertions of that adroit election eering intriguer, BILLY HoLAIES and his subordi nates—Mr. MONTEITH, we say, himself bore testi mony to the paramount importance of the struggle, when he observed, in the full anticipation of victory— alas, that a man should be so silly as to shout before he is out of the wood I—" This is, I think, a far more important election than that of Westminster." Mr. MONTEITH is right. The Glasgow election is more important—or, to quote his own words—" far more important." It is an earnest of a future and speedy triumph for the good cause. It is proof, " strong as Holy Writ," that Reform is not retrograding, but, on the contrary, is on the advance. And against what prejudices —against what powerful opposition—have the Glasgow Reformers triumphed ? Their candi date, Mr. DENNISTOUN, was not merely accused, as well urivately as publicly, of being an Anarchist : but he seas accused also of being an Atheist, of having burned £.be Bible," with every mark of supreme con tempt. All local—all national prejudices were brought to bear against Lim. lie was denounced as a man with whom no Christian could associate ; as a revo!u tionist in politics, an Infidel religion ;—yet, despite these wholesale slanders—despite the manoeuvres of the Tories, all combining to a man on this grand occasion, all resolved to stick at nothing that might enable them to carry their point—despite the herculean efforts of a faction flushed with their late successes at Westminster and Bridgewater—Mr. DENNISTOUN has triumphed, and the PEEL Club, as a party, is henceforth' a non entity in Glasgow. Honor, therefore, we repeat, to the bold—the considerate—the patriotic, men of Glasgow ! There is not an individual Reformer among them who has not shown himself a public benefactor ! It was common sense that carried the day at Glas gow, as it was cant and maudlin sentiment at West minster. Sir FRANCIs BURDETT appealed to the old recollections—the ;ventler sympathies—the tenderer weaknesses of his constituents—and ensured his return by the teas of dotage—mistaken for those of high minded sensibility—that trembled in his eves ; Mr. DENNIsToUN appealed only to the justice, the dis cernment, the upright, conscientious feeling of his con stituents, and carried his point by this appeal, and this only. Which is the soundest triumph of the two ? Which the most momentous election—that of cant at Westminster, or common sense at Glasgow ? ‘Vill any Reformer who can count ten on hi s fingers now presume to say that he does not regret the vote he gave to BURDETT ? Will he now venture to say that he was not misled—taken in (for the plainest phrase is the best) by the Hon. Baronet's maudlin, pathetic allusions, put forth the night before the nomi nation, to his deplorable state of health—that he doubted whether he should " leave the hustings alive ;" th6u7,11 a few days afterwards he was strong enough to conic 'down to the House, and deliver one of the most furious speeches ever delivered within the walls of Parliament—will any Westminster Reformer, we repeat, now say that the Hon. Baronet has not swin dled him out of his better feelings, by a mock show of extreme ill-health and suffering ? Not one ! The farce is now seen through, and appreciated accordingly. Westminster now sees that Sir FRANCIS, though too ill to support Reform, is quite well enough to uphold Toryism. That he makes a robust and healthy Con servative, thougi: a most delicate and valetudinarian Reformer, to such an extent, indeed, that he cannot articulate even a syllabic iu favour of the principles of his old associates. How different is the case with Mr. DENNISTOUN at Glasgow I He does not appeal to the mere sym pathies of his constituents, but to their sense of jus tice. He does not invoke their commiseration, or parade the " chalk-stone" in his leg, as a men dicant does his sores ; but comes before them boldly like a man, appeals to them as such, and is successful as such. He does not say pity the sorrows of a poor old man ;" but " appreciate and reward the energies of one who Avill fight your battles, as such battles should he fought : who will stand by you through good report and evil report ; and only asks you to stand by him so long as he stands by you." Such is the language held by Mr. DENNISTOUN, which we need not say is, in every respect, the reverse of that held by Sir FR ANCIS BUR DETT. One word more, The Member for Glasgow is not qualifying for a Tory peerage. He has no am bition to hide his dishonoured head in a coronet. He has no past that he would wish forgotten ; no present that brings time blush into his cheek ; no future that bids him tremble for the verdict of the historian. He is "sound wind and limb," a man of the title Reform breed, whose public and private conduct will alike bear the stricte s t scrutiny. That such a man should have been returned for Glasgow—and returned, notwithstanding the herculean opposition brought against him ; the intrigues of the Tory whipper-in, who was sent down (express) for time occasion ; the influence of the PEEL Club ; and the example lately set by Westminster and Bridgewater — that Mr. DENNISTOUN should have braved all these obstacles ; home down all these obstacles ; and been returned in the face of all these obstacles, is a triumph which, as the Tory canididate justly ob serves, cannot be tco highly appreciated. It must be rmiembered also that the Hon. Gentleman's ma jority is not a great, but an overwhelming, one. It does not injure, but it destroys, the Tory fac tion in that city. It comes home to them indi vidually as well as in the aggregate ; for there is not a single Conservative in Glasgow who did not make Mr. MoNTEITH's case his own ; Who did not canvass for him ; struggle for him ; speechify for him ; at clubs, at committees, at hotels, at public-houses ; who did not confidently anticipate his success ; and who will not now mourn—and mourn bitterly—for his defeat. The consequences of the Glasgow Election will be felt throughout the kingdom ; and no where more strongly than in the House of Commons. There it will fix the waverers, alarm the apostates, and infuse new courage into the Reformers. The Westminster Election is already forgotten ; but what Liberal con stituency will forget, or fail to follow, the glorious example set by the patriotic men of Glasgow, whose conduct we regard with the same feelings of gratitude with which we regard that pursued by the men of Birmingham, when upwards of two hundred thcusand of them met on Newhall-hill, and proclaimed, as with one voice, " Let the Tories say what they will, the Reform Bill shall pass I" At the next public meeting of Reformers that takes place, be it in town or country, let this be foremost among the toasts :—" The health of the independent men of Glasgow, who have wiped off the stain cast upon the cause of Reform by the maudlin sentimenta lists of Westminster ;" and let this toast be drank with three times three, and " one cheer more :" We have always urged upon the Dissenters, and those who, though in communion with the Esta blished Church, are at one with the Dissenters on the question of Church-rates, that their own exertions must be their main stay if they wish to shake off the degrading burden which a rapacious and usurping • hierarchy has bound upon their backs. Every day's experience must convince them that it is utterly hopeless to aim at success by any other means. What does the justice of a claim, the righteousness of a cause avail where the interests, real or supposed, of the judges are arrayed on the opposite side. When Bi shops, Chapters, and lessees have combined to defraud the Church, and grasp the public resources, it requires something more effectual than reason and argument to convince the confederates that a return to the path of rectitude is the best course to pursue. What, then, ought the Dissenters to do ? Ministers have done all that was in their power in furtherance of the cause of religious liberty, and the rights of conscience. They have, in fact, thrown to the winds every other con sideration than that of carrying into effect the great principle of relieving those who feel the payment of Church-rates a grievous oppression of the burden, without injury to the rest of the community. They have even brought forward a plan which combined re lief to the Dissenters with positive advantage to the Church ; and all that they have got from the so-called friends of the Church is to have their views misrepre sented, their plans denounced, and the hue and cry of " destruction" raised against them by the numerous herd of factious knaves and ignorant bigots. It only remains, then, for the Dissenters to fight out the good fight which they have so nobly commenced. They are not—or we mistake them sadly—made of materials which yield to the first breath of opposition. The cause in which they have embarked is one of paramount impor tance. It derives this importance—not merely from its involving a civil right, but, also, from the sacredness of the religious principle which forms its foundation and its impregnable strength. It is therefore the duty of this great body, distin guished as they have always been—immortalized as they have sometimes been—for their adherence to the dictates of conscience, in defiance'of all the persecution which the State-supported Church could bring to bear upon them, now to prove that their religious zeal is as strong, and their religious principles as uncompromising as were thOse of their ancestors. They have hitherto acted, in the question of Church rates, with exemplary patience and moderation. They have made a temperate appeal to the Legislature. This appeal has been all but disregarded. They must now prove to the country that they were in earnest in seeking the redress of the grievance of wl►ich they complained ; and this they can do only 1W one and all hencfforward rifirsing the payment of Church-rates. This, we say advisedly, is the bounden duty of the Dissenters ; and this, if their plea of conscience be not what their enemies and calum niators are constantly casting in their teeth—a mere pretence—they wi/i do. We are extremely happy to see that this is the view taken of the subject by the Dissenters of Bungay, who have ',.at a late meeting passed some excellent resolutions which will be found in another part of our paper. One of these resolutions is in the following words :—" That, as the most effectual means to this end (agitation) con sists in rendering the collection difficult or impractica ble, the individuals composing this meeting will refuse to pay whatever Church-rates may be asses,ed upon them." Let the Dissenters throughout the kingdom follow the example set at this meeting, and we will answer for it that Church-rates will not survive another Ses sion of Parliament. Another of those discreditable exhibitions, which occasionally disgrace Exeter-hall, took place on Sa turday. We call the exhibition discreditable, because, under the pretcite of supporting the Protestant reli gion, the parties who get up these meetings act in di rect opposition to some of its most sacred doctrines, and, in place of encouraging brotherly love, charity, and peace, do everything their power to excite the most deadly hostility between two sects of Christians and two parties in the State, who have sufficient causes of estrangement, without adding to them the gall and bitterness of religious controversy. And as to discussion or fair play, there is not even a semblance THE SUN, LONPOIC, IVIONDAY, MAY 29, 1837 of either, because, with the exception of one or two individuals, who, the parties know, will not alend, no person is allowed to enter unless he approves of the object of the ineetine., and what they call argument is only abuse of their fellow creatures, and the foulest and most uncharitable imputations against men most exinplary both in their moral and religious conduct. Is it not disgraceful for Englishmen and Englishwomen (for the meeting con sisted chiefly of women), to sanction such a falsehood as the following, directed against the clergy of three fourths of the people of this country ?—'' That this meeting is constrained to pronounce that no confidence can be placed in their promises, no reliance on their professions, and no credit given to their oaths." And the men, too, who make these atrocious charges, as if in utter scorn of all that is sacred, talk of imploring the Divine assistance on their labours I It is fortunate that the influence of these itinerant demagogues is not equal to their malignity, else a civil war must be the inevitable consequence. The Catholics, much to their credit, display true Christian patience, and to the great annoyance of their calumniators, treat these imputa tions with supreme contempt. Mr. M•GiieE and Company know well that the Catholic Bishops will not enter into a controversy, and that they disapprove of any of their flocks entering into controversy on such a subject, because they have learned, from all history and all experience, that neither party can convince the other, and that the only result of such disputations is the excitement of the worst passions of the human heart. It is mockery then to say that there is fair play, and it is infinitely worse than mockery to trum pet forth to the public that their sole object is the maintenance of the true religion, when, as the speech of Mr. O'SULLIVAN demonstrated, their great and chief aim is political ascendancy. The public, howe ver, begin to see • through the trick. The subject is every day becoming more stale. This season there has been no ingenious device to amuse the audience. The name of PETER DENS now only excites a smile, and we confidently hope that the time is approaching when he and the Rev. Mr. M‘GHEE will be treated as old Almanacs. We have received the copy of a Petition to the Im perial Parliament from ANDREW BENT, of Hobart Town, Van Diemen's . Land, successively Proprietor, Conductor, and Printer of the Hobart Town Ga zette, the Colonial Times, the Colonial Advocate, and at present of Bent's News—setting forth a long list of oppresssions to which Mr. BENT was subjected by Colonel ARTHUR, late Governor of that Colony, whose hatred the petitioner appears to have provoked by his zealous exertions to establish the unrestricted liberty of the Colonial Press. Along with the copy of Mr. BENT'S Petition we have received a Pamphlet embodying the whole of the correspondence between Mr. BENT and the Colonial Government in 1827-8, relative to the granting of a license for the publication of the Colonial Times and the con ducting of the Colonial Advocate—and having read it over carefully, with the opinions there upon of the Colonial Press from 1830 to die lat ter end of October 1836, we have come to the certain conclusion that the allegations contained in Mr. BENT'S Petition should forthwith be made the subjec: of a Parliamentary investigation. To say the least of it Colonel ARTHUR'S conduct was arbitrary in the extreme ; and it reflects no credit on the vigi lance of the Colonial Office, that a Governor— if he be so disposed--may exercise the most de spotic power over the great bulk of the inhabi tants of a distant Colony, without the least appre hension of being subsequently called to account for his misdeeds. Parliament, in such matters, leaves too much to the discretion of the Executive Government. Our Colonies, with all-their boasted independence, are regarded by four-fifths of theMemberS of the House of Commons as mere Crown dependencies—adjuncts of the Empire, cognizable only by the KING in Council and the Colonial Secretary. The fact of their exist ence is no more than an episode in our social history ; and the subject of their grievances is more frequently considered an impertinent interruption of the routine of Parliamentry business, than as embodying matter imperatively demanding the immediate consideration of a supreme legislative assembly. Were it not for the praiseworthy exertions of Mr. HUME and a few Liberal Members of the House of Commons, the individual grievances of hundreds of Colonists would never reach the ear of the Parliament or people of Eng land. Governors have generally the power of stifling complaints—for in most of our Colonies to pro voke their wrath would inevitably entail ruin on any private individual, and all belonging to, or sympathizing with him ; therefore, none unless driven to desperation would dare to complain ; and even were he to do so, without powerful support else where, the utmost extent of the benefit accruing to him would be, a laconic intimation that his petition or re monstrance reached the proper quarter, was investi gated, and of course referred back to be determined by the pei petrator of the injury complained of. This has occurred times out of number—it is in fact a ge neral rule from which there would be few cases of ex ception were there not HumEs, and WARBURTONS, ROEBUCKS, and O'CONNELLS to make the people of England acquainted with the culpable ne c ;ligunce of the Colonial Secretary, and the cruelty and oppres sion of the Colonial authorities. That the British public may be enabled to form a conception of the merits of Mr. BENT'S case we annex a copy. of his Petition to the Imperial Parliament, to which we in vite the attention of such of our readers as take any interest in !he executive proceedings of our Colonial Governments : To the Right Honourable and Honourable the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of Great Britain, in Parliament assembled. The humble petition of Andrew Bent, of Hobart Town, in the fsla::d of Van Diemen's Land, Printer, Respectfully sheweth—That in the year 1813, your F.,3_ titioner was appointed Government Printer, by his Honor Colonel Thomas Davey, Lieutenant Governor of this Co lony ; and continued so during the whole of his administra tion, as well as during the whole of the administration of his successor, Lieutenant Governor Sorell-,-a period of eleven years. That on the arrival of Colonel George Arthur, in the month of May, 1824, as successor to Colonel -Sorel!, your Petitioner was the sole Proprietor of the only Newspap er then published in the Colony, called the Hobart Town Gazelle, and Van Diemen's Land Advertiser. That fifteen months after the arrival of Colonel Arthur, your Petitioner was deprived of the office of Government Printer, which was conferred on Dr. James Ross, who also, with the sanction and assistance of Colonel Arthur, pirated the title of your Petitioner's Newspaper. In consequence of which piracy, your Petitioner was compelled to abandon the title of his Newspaper, which he had established at so early a period of the Colony, and 'to commence another Newspaper, called the Colonial Thnes. That after this , Journal had bean in circulation two years and three months, Colonel Arthur and his Council passed an Act, whi c h came in force on the 19th of October, 180, imposio,g Stamp.duly of twopence on every Newspaper, and also prohibiting any person, under exorbitant penalties, from printing or publishing a Newspaper, without having first obtained a license for that purpose from the Governor. Your Petitioner, after having repeatedly applied for and helm refused a license, to print and publish a Newspaper, awl having embarked the whole of his pro perty in buildings and nnti.triala for carrying on his Newspaper, was compelled, for the support of Ilk PUMP rous family, to publish a sheet of Advertisements, which contained no other matter, under the title of his former Journal. At length, finding that the Governor was deter mined not to grant him a license, your petitioner sold the copyriat Of leis journal to 'Mr. James Austin, who was also refused a license, k.riptvn 1414 by was to ern, ploy your Petitioner in the printing' 'department. was Pe titioner was, in consequence, compelled to release Mr. Austin from the purchase. And, on the 28th of Deceit; her, 1827, lw mowod bis applicokEl rsir hi ; lic Fns e t which w;ls recommended by fifty of the most respectable inhabi tants. This application met with a positive refusal, with an intimation whiCh convinced your Petitioner, that Colonel Arthur hod determined never to allow him a license, to print and publish a Newspaper. Your Petitioner next entered into an agreement with Mr. Joseph Tice Gellihrand, a leading practitioner in the Supreme Court, and formerly Attorney-General of the Colony, for the sale of the copyright of his Journal, with a condition that your Petitioner should be employed in the mechanical department. But, so determiaed was Colonel Arthur to prevent your Petitioner from making a living by his trade, that he informed your Petitioner, that a li cense would not he granted to Mr. Gellibraud, if he em ployed your Petitioner as a printer ! ! To provide for his numerous family, your Petitioner continued to publish a sheet of Advertisements, under the same title as his fornr.r Journal ; and he also published a monthly periodi cal, entitled the Colonial Advocate. After this pe riodical had been published for eight months, the Govern ment resolved to suppress it. The Editor was a young man under the sentence of the law, and a Govern ment Notice was issued that any convict, detected writing any article for a Newspaper, should be im mediately sent to a penal Settlement. The Colonial Advocate was not a Newspaper ; yet, on this Government Under, the Editor was removed to a distant Settlement, while it was notorious that one Newspaper, which sup ported Colonel Arthur's measures, was conducted by con victs. A Bill in Equity was then filed against your Peti titioner for publishing a sheet of Advertisements, under the title of the Colonial Tinzes, and because your Petitioner, in ignorance, failed to answer this bill satisfactorily, an attach ment was issued against your Petitioner, who was there upon imprisoned one month, until lie was compelled to give up the Colonial Advocate ! ! I Your Petitioner was then released from prison, the sole object of the proceedings against him, evidently being to destroy every semblance of a Free Press in the Colony. That after the destruction of your Petitioner's property by illegally subjecting the Newspaper Press to a license, and refusing your Petitioner such license—the arbitrary and oppressive enactment of Colonel Arthur was disallowed by his Majesty ; notification of which disallowance was pub lished here on the 24th December, 1828. That by these illegal and arbitrary acts of Colonel Arthur, your Pe titioner has suffered a pecuniary loss exceeding three thousand pounds, besides what he has suffered by op pressive illegal fines and imprisonments, on the most frivilous charges for libel. That, although your Peti tioner is advised that Colonel Arthur is liable to an ac tion at law, to your Petitioner, for the loss sustained by him in consequence of the illegal suppression of his News paper—that the great losses which he has sustained, with the large family for which he has to provide, puts it out of his power to follow Colonel Arthur to England, where alone he would obtain redress. Your Petitioner, therefore, most respectfully submits his claims for compensation, with the losses he has sustained, to the justice of the Representa tives of the British Nation. Trusting that your Honourable House will look with great jealousy upon the arbitrary act of a Governor of a distant Colony, who would deprive his Majesty's subjects of that birthright of Britons, that pal ladium of British liberty—a Free Press, your Petitioner, therefore, humbly prays that your Honourable House will take into your serious consideration the illegal and oppres sive conduct of Colonel Arthur towards your Petitioner. And that you will recommend to his Majesty to grant your Petitioner such compensation, pecuniary, or in Colonial lands, as will be equivalent to the injury and loss he has sustained through the illegal Ordinance passed by Colonel Arthur, by refusing him a license, as well as by his impri sonment, for printing a sheet of Advertisements. And your Petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray. ANDREW BENT. October 22, 1836. Advices from Lisbon, of the 21st inst., announce the failure of OLIVEIRA'S attempt to form a Mi nistry. The country is therefore virtually without a Gorernment, for PA SSOS and his colleagues only hold their Portefeuilles till the QUEEN nominates their successors. The Miguelites had organized bands in the south, and were otherwise active in disturbing the general tranquillity. Madrid Journals to the 22d instant have been re ceived. The news of the capture of Hernani, Fonta rabia, and the Carlist strongholds on the French fron tier, filled the Spanish capital with joy. The intelli gence produced an instant change in the angry tone of the debates in the Cortes. The Deputies assembled in groups, and with much apparent cordiality congra tulated the Ministers and their friends on the result. It was reported and believed in Madrid on the 19th, that during the secret sitting of the Cortes on the pre vious pay, M. CA L ATRA VA read a despatch from the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, declaring the King of the FRENCH and his Cabinet hostile to the Con stitutional Government of the Peninsula. This report, which produced a great sensation in the capital, was officially contradicted in the Gazette of the 21st. We have elsewhere noticed the effect of this rumour upon the temper of our Parisian Contemporaries. On the 21st instant General ESPARTERO was at Hernani, and General EVANS, with the British Le gion, at his old quarters in San Sebastian. On the 19th ESPARTERO addressed a proclamation to the Bis cayans, promising them the enjoyment of theirfueros in the name of the QUEEN and Cortes, provided they lay down their arms and return peaceably to their homes and families. The whole of the Paris journals of Friday and Sa turday have been received. The Moniteur of Satur day contains the following news from Spain, commu. nicated by telegraph : " BORDEAUX, MAY 25, SEVEN, P.M. " The Carlist expedition does not advance ; it was still at Egea and in the environs on the 22d. On the same day Irribarren occupied Tauste and Castajon. Bucrens was at Tudela. Espartero continues at H ernani " Nothing new at Madrid on the 20th, nor at Saragossa on the 221" . • The town of Tauste occupied by General IRRI BA RREN, is only eight leagues from Saragossa. It stands on the left bank of the Ebro, and its occupation by the Christinos restricts the movements of the Carlists in that direction. Should a junction of the troops under I3trEttENs and IrtrunAnnEN be deemed desirable it can be very easily effected. We cannot account for the inactivity of the Carlists at a juncture when the least delay must prove fatal to the Pre tender. With an impassable stream on one side, its right bank defended by flying columns of enemy—an army concentrating its strength, and.preparing to attack him on the other—himself, too, occupying a tract of country which cannot subsist his troops for many days—a, delay in the movements of Don CARLOS would seem to indicate a change in his councils, and that he has at last resolved to hazard a ge►ieral engage ment. But this is a supposition which we cannot for au instant seriously entertain. His safest course—and he knows it—is to avoid battles with as much pertina city as it is the interest of the QUEEN'S Generals to seek them. Whether, then, his present inactivity be voluntary or involuntary, it must prove detrimental to him, inasmuch as it will enable IR RIBA R R EN to surround him with flying columns, harass his rear, cut off his supplies, and force him to a battle, should the QUEEN'S army be in a condition to cope with the entire expeditionary force. The Princess HELENA, of Mecklenburg Schwerin, promises to become the idol of the French people. Already the press teems with anecdotes illustrative of the fascination of her manner, the sprightliness of her wit, and the extent of her accomplishments. The national gallantry of the French has been evinced in the towns through which she passed in the presenta tion of addresses by the local functionaries in all the dignity and gravity of official costume. At Metz her Royal Highness was serenaded on the Moselle, and the entire garrison was paraded under her balcony. The citizens bestrewed the streets with flowers, and no noise was heard save sounds of festive rejoicing, On the With ina,, at noon, the PRINCESS and suite left Metz for Verdun. There has been a sort of compromise of parties and opinions in the Chamber of Deputies on the Sugar question, A 10W rMe of duty will be imposed nri Beet-root Sugar, but in a form least okiectiona.ble to thv manufacturer.

The French Journals are indignant at the report of some proceedings slated to have taken place at a secret sitting of the Spanish Cortes on the 15th and 19th inst. According to a current, but unfounded, rumour, M. CALATRAVA read a note from the Spa nish Ambassador at Paris, dated the sth inst., in which the King of the FRENCH and his Cabinet were repre sented as laughing at the quadruple Alliance, and as 'preferring DON CARLOS to the heroes of La Granja, with such persons as CALA TR AVA and MENDIZA 13A L at their head, with much more to the same effect. The Cortes were indignant, and, according to the same report, menaced France with a declaration of war However, the Madrid Gazette of the 21st, de nies that any such note was read in the Cortes, or that any censure was attempted to be cast on the conduct of the French KING and Cabinet. TOULON, MAY 23.—The Sphinx steam-boat left this place on the 16th, for Civita Vecchia, with dispatches for the French Ambassador at Rome, which, it is said, related to some permission to he obtained frpm t h e P o p e f or t h e marriage of the Duke of Orleans. That vessel reached its destination on the 18th, and the Commander immediately proceeded post to Rome, to execute his commission. He returned on board the 20th, and set out on the same day kr Toulon, where he cast anchor on the 22d. Titus, thanks to the rapidity of the steam-boats, the Government received on the 22d, by telegraph, an answer to a dispatch sent from Paris for Rome on the 16th. It would have taken 12 days, and been more expense, to send an express. FRENCH FUNDS-Paws, MAY 6. Five per Cents.. 10Sf. Isc. 20c. 35c. 4:c.

New Differes, 9, By the Havre, which arrived at Liverpool on Friday, we have received a file of New York papers to the 4th inst. inclusive. The effect of the proposal of the Bank of England to the United States Bank was not known when the Havre sailed for England, as the Directors of the United States Bank had not had time to pronounce an opinion upon it. In the commercial world, the aspect of affairs was not more cheering on the 3d, than at any time since the commencement of the present monetary 'difficulties. Several extensive failures occurred on the Ist and 2d inst., and among them a house carrying on an extensive silk trade. Many other houses were obliged to suspend payments. The accounts received in New York from the south were nearly as bad as they could be. The cotton market in Mobile, Charleston, Savannah, and New Orleans " had gone to the dogs." Two large cotton houses in New Orleans had stopped payment, and others were in the utmost difficulties. Cotton had become a mere drug in the market. The public meet ing which was to have been held at Philadelphia, on the subject of the general commercial distress, was postponed till after the arrival of the decision of the Bank of England, in order to render its resolutions in some measure effective. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Last week the arrivals of most descriptions of Corn were moderate, and of Flour there was a fair quantity. The trade throughout the week was languid for every article, owing to the favourable change in the weather. This morning the fresh supply of Wheat has been good, and of other Grain moderate. The weather continuing fine has caused consider able dulness in the Wheat trade, and the prices are declined 2s. per quarter from the terms of this day se'nnight. There has not been much trade for Barley, and the prices are unal tered. Beans, being rather scarce, have obtained a little more money than last Monday, as also have Grey Pease. Boiling Pease are unvaried. There has been a moderate demand for Oats this morning, and last week's rates are fully supported. The Flour trade is very heavy, at no alteration in value. rRICES 014_110A_RD OF SIIIP.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, 7'II'ALVE O'CLOCK. We have this morning received the New Yo. k Daily Express, of the :3d of May, from which we copy the fol lowing :- 6' CITY NEWS, TUESDAY.—The packet ship Hibernia has arrived to-day. having sailed from Liverpool on the 2lst of April. Great anxiety was manifested to learn the state of things. The Cotton Market had improved a little. gp!, again receded ; so that, on the whole, prices have left ell much as they were by the last packet. None of the largd bankers had stopped, and the Bank of England was Wort," ing assistance to American houses. There was great dila! tress at Liverpool, and it was stated that a deputation hail been sent to London to obtain aid. All accounts agree that the English houses were waiting with great anxiety for large remittances from America. Private letters from Lon don advise us that the bills of three large drawers in Phi" ladelphia had been noted for non-acceptance, as one of 1 ;11 6 drawers bad since failed. Their bills, no doubt, will come back. " This has been another gloomy day in Wail-stree t, Stocks are lower th an on yesterday, and lower than th e y have been any day as y e t. Failures continue ; one of 6a most respectable and expensive brokers went down to-day'' and another extensive importing house in P e arl-street -- one of the partners of which has been a Director in the Bank of America from its foundation. If houses like these, that are, and have been, for the last twenty years in high credit, and which have still the means of Bank facilities 1 0 sustain them, fall, it is not extraordinary that smaller ones should stop. " The failure of Arthur Tappan has created mush sation in his large circle of friends, and among all others whose attention h as b een di recte d towards h i m, on acc ouPt of the peculiarity of his position in the country tl ° house has assets of more than half a million over and above all their liabilities ; it also had the best of securities to offer, but it was in vain. " The mail having failed from New Orleans, w.e nothing from the emporium of the South West. '('he con; m ercial news fr om B oston , P ort l and, and all New Englan is far from being cheering. From all parts of the cantle we hear the mo s t bitt er comp l a i nts of the impossibility °1 negotiating drafts on the South and South West, even wbru the money is wanting for the drawer. There appears to DP no way of getting funds except in specie, or investment of produce." We have received Montreal papers to the 29th ItP rii : and Quebec to th e 25th A pr il, f rom wh i ch we extrac t the following- : _ " The ice bridge on the St. Laurence at Point le vi and at Corouge holds firm, notwithstanding the spring tid e c i A large part of it has, however, given way at Sillery, 0,l an„ has moved oppo s it e th e town . Th e n i ghts cont i nue f r and the days fine. About a third of the fields arc ro il bare ; but the snow still lies two or three feet deep alod the fences.

Cape of Good Hope papers received to th e 30th e i r March state that the revenue d er i ve d f rom the Customs 7, the Cape was m uc h grea t er fif teen years ago than it has. flee s since 1833. A ccor di ng to t h e accounts furnished to the Commissioners of Inquiry, the gross revenue derived from the Customs in all the ports of the colony averaged dant"' the years 1821, 1822, and 1823, 23,1991. s t er li ng per sr num ; in 1834, the gross revenue was 14,3941. 7s. 11 and, in 1335, it was 17,5151. 3s. 11f d.
