Nothing can now interfere with the realisation of he Ministerial project as to the abolition of the dif- ferential sugar duties. The pavan of commercial pro tection has been sung ; efforts the most strenuous have been made to preserve the ghostly residue of that very ricketty system ; but garbled statistics, exag gerated oratory, pathetic appeals, and vituperative-hoi tility have proved equally inefficacious. The mandate has been issued, and Monopoly beholds the moment of its immolation. Like " great Junius "at the base of POMPEY'S pillar in the Roman capital, Protection sees the futility of keeping its enemies any further at bay, and, " muffling up its garment round its face," prepares to die, if possible, with dignity, not to say decency. The honourable and melodramitic Member for the University of Oxford is the spokesman upon the oc casion—Mr. SPOONER is the false friend plunging his weapon into the bosom of the doomed system, in the name of patriotism— and with despairing accents and agonised features Sir ROBERT 11. INGLIS ejaculates a kind of Et to Brute! reproach; and resigns him self and his party to the decrees of an unpropitious destiny. " When I see a majority so large," says he, referring to the division which has just given one hundred and thirty in favour of Lord J. RUSSELL'S proposed scheme, " when I see a majority so large, I cannot but be conscious that further opposition is hopeless, and can only lead to irritation and to an useless interference with the discharge of public busi ness." At last, therefore, these redoubtable gentle men are becoming conscious of their real position— they are proving themselves to be literally political JOHN WILLETTS. It takes such an amazing time for any single idea to soak regularly into their peri craniums, and at length slowly and deliberately to break in upon their comprehension. Nay, so striking is the analogy between their character and that of the famous Mr. WILLETT, that we should hardly have been surprised if, supposing Mr. SPOONER to have made some correction, like that of SOLOMON DAISY, " your senses, Johnny, not your sense !"—we should scarcely have been astonished had Sir ROBERT INGLIS turned upon the Hon. Mem ber for Birmingham, and after surveying him in the dull and immobile fashion of JOHN WILLETT, at last silenced him in the words of his prototype—" You're a cornin' it pretty strong, sir, you are !" But seri ously, we are rejoiced to perceive these protectionist representatives showing some consciousness of the fact that their position in the House of Commons is no longer tenable—that they can no longer continue a kind of heavy drag upon the wheels of the Legisla ture. The light of this idea is at last breaking in through the crusts of their prejudice, and illuminating the darkness of their comprehension. - Happily the Ministerial project in relation to sugar is winning its way slowly, but surely and peacefully, through the lower ordeal of Parliament. The House has formed itself into a Committee for a consideration of the various resolutions; and, despite a variety of specious or blundering amendments, those resolutions have been successively agreed to, and the report ordered to be received on Monday next. These are, in short, indications of the ultimate acceptation of free trade by all parties without distinction—landlord as well tenant—the men with enormous relit-rolls and the men with a capital of sixpence-halfpenny, agriculturists as well as manufacturers. This' we more than anticipate. The old hull of Monopoly is reduced to a wreck, and is floating off upon the surges of oblivion, the drowning protectionists are rescued from danger by a con siderate reform ; they must gradually become incor porated (not among the compulsory passengers, but) among the working crew of free-traders. That is the posture of present affairs; the protectionists are now in a state of transition. That they will ultimately emerge from this transition, and assume a healthy and tenable attitude, we are confident. That they may do so quickly is our cordial aspiration. The enlarged accounts received of the extraordi- I nary scene that occurred in Conciliation Hall, on Monday, ',strengthen the view we took on Thursday that an irremediable division has taken place among the repealers, . and that every right thinking man will temperately rejoice at the separation effected between the advocates of " physical force," on the i l one side, and " moral resistance," on the other. If we thought that this exhibition of discord, and of inter nal weakness in the body ofthe Association would be, in any wise, meanly taken advantage of by the Executive, and lead to any relaxation of their expressed inten tions to introduce "comprehensive measures" for the political regeneration of Ireland, we should not be of those who will feel gratified at the secession of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN and his intemperate disciples from Conciliation Hail. But our satisfaction is based upon the conviction that a high-minded and generously disposed Government will recognise the present posture of affairs among the repealers as the most favourable for their pursuing with increased energy any schemes which they may have in contempla tion for promoting the future welfare of Ireland. The healthy functions of a Government are disordered, and its moral influence, which, to be effective, it ought al ways to maintain with the great body of the empire, becomes impaired whenever any ?reat changes a mo re wrought, by reason of their - principles, repudiated, in the first instance, by the Executive, having been thereby subsequently embodied in a powerful associ ation, acting independently of, and in declared oppo sition to, the regular authorities of the land. Con cessions thus accomplished are deprived of all grace —they are ever attributed to fear —even, though late, moral conviction should ultimately lead the Go vernment to sanction them. Therefore, had the Repeal Association preserved its unity of strength, and, in the meanwhile, the Cabinet had se cured the approval of Parliament to the most salutary measures of different kinds of reform, there would not have been wanting many of the self-styled patriots of Ireland, who would have attributed their enactineet exclusively to the agitation they had up held, and not, in any degree, to the intrinsically pure motives of a British Legislature. And such has really been the pernicious view enforced upon the minds of the Irish during the last seventeen years. It was so stated, acknowledged, and commented upon by the Duke of WELLINGTON, in the earlier part of the present session. But now the Government have an opportunity for reversing this untoward feeling, such as has not presented itself to any one of the numerous Administrations that have of late years ruled over our national concerns. Theirs will be the pleasing and opportune task, whilst dissension has 1 broken th e ranks of the repealers, to evince that stro righteous perception of what is essential to the tran "ulllsation and political happiness of the neighbour ing isle, and not a craven sense of civilc o mmotio n, alone alone animates their every act, legi slatorial administrative, having reference as well as to Ireland. By acting with promptitude and ze a l i n this ' sptrit, they will turn the present conjuncture to the greatest possible account. They will cause the war m and ardent feelings of the Irish to flow in legitimate channels, and they will do much to take the sting out of the reproach which has been thrown over the past, that, not from good-will, but from unworthy appre hensions, has any boon been received by Ireland. Anger, jealousy, and discontent would be no longer suffered to gangrene a nation's mind, whilst gratitude and affection would gain a rapid ascendancy. Consi derations such as these will riot, we are convinced, be lost sight of by Lord J. RIMIsELL and his coadjutors, and hence our rejoicing at the rupture to which we have 1 ‘ yesterday and to-day called the attention of our readers. repeal itself we have always treated as the diseased production of suoveplo a • ;he at4d imsination • , _ .. _ CMS* .. :. tence of large political bodies, every well judging man ' must, in the abstract, be opposed to. Under special circumstances, however—as when, for instance, the official rulers of the State obstinately fail to antici pate the just wants of the subject—the establishment of such bodies oftentimes, and particularly in periods of advanced civilisation, indirectly become wholesome instruments of reformation. We have never felt alarmed at the word " repeal" having been prefixed as the title of the associates of Conciliation Hall. We bear in mind the circumstances and events antecedent to their enrolment. We know that the same men belonged to different associations, rapidly formed and rapidly dissolved, with very harmless titles, and that that of repeal was only finally adopted when they despaired of obtaining justice from the Imperial Parliament. Let but justice be done now, and repeal will ere long be considered as nothing better than an enthusiastic delusion. Diplomatists, when negotiat ing treaties, always set out by asking for a great deal more than they expect to have conceded to them; and Mr. O'CONNELL, by force of circumstances, has, in the exercise of his political mission, as the appointed expositor of his country's wrongs, been driven to the same tactics. He has lauded repeal to the skies, but we all know well enough that political equality for Ireland with England and Scotland is all that he expects and all that he hopes for. From Sir ROBERT PEEL on resigning office, and from Lord JOHN RUSSELL on his acceptance of it, the two great poli tical leaders of the day, it has been enunciated that Ireland shall be no longer subjected to invidious dis tinctions. Since then, Mr. O'CONNELL has told them, in Conciliation Hall, that, provided they be accom pliahed, he thinks they ought to pause. With this good sense and moderation on Mr. O'CoNNELL's part, and with his merited influence over millions of his countrymen, Mr. O'BRIEN and his " chosen few" may be safely left to sink back into their original insignificance. The voice of public opinion has at length lbeen heard in high places ; the feelings which have been so much excited by the shocking death of the unfortu nate young man, WHITE, at Hounslow, have had their effect in directing the attention of the highest military authority to the question of corporal punishments in the army. Lord J. RUSSELL last night announced that he had seen the Duke of WELLINGTON and also the Secretary-at-War upon the subject, and that the Duke, as Commander-in-Chief of the army, had measures in contemplation, not, we regret to say, with a view to the total abolition of corporal punishment, but with a view to regulate its exercise. Under these circumstances, and feel ing that it would be inconvenient to have a discussion in the House on the subject before the Duke had matured those measures, the Noble Premier requested Dr. BOWRING to postpone the motion of which he had given notice, and pro mised that he would shortly be able to inform the House of the nature of the intended mea sures ; he also promised, in answer to a question from Dr. BOWRING, whose exertions are so creditable to him as a man of humanity and a philanthropist, that if he (Dr. BOWRING) was not satisfied with the orders of the Commander-in-Chief when promulgated, an opportunity should be afforded to him of again bringing the subject forward before the end of the session. If no other result followed the agitation on the subject, much that is valuable would already have been attained ; there is little doubt that any new regulations on the subject must have the ef fect of greatly restrictir.g both the quantity of the punishment, the number of lashes sanctioned in each individual case, and also the number of per sons on whom they may be inflicted ; but we sincerely trust that the friends of the soldier and sailor will not be satisfied with anything less than the total and immediate abolition of the hor rible cat. We conceive, that of all others, military men are the last to whom a question of such magni tude should be submitted. Old prejudices influence their minds ; the long-continued existence of the atrocious system has, in too many instances, worn away the horror with which they must, in the earlier stages of their career, have regarded each individual case of flogging. Habit has been said to acquire the force of second nature, and thus they come to look at that which at first harrowed up their better feelings as a usual and necessary evil. The question must be considered by able and clear-headed men, whose minds are free from any bias, and who are capable of giving a sound, common-sense opinion on the subject. Naval and military men may be very good witnesses, but they are unques tionably the worst judges to whom the decision of the subject could be referred. The only possible ground on which the practice could for a moment be supported is, that its existence is indispensably ne cessary for the maintenance and preservation of the discipline in both branches of the service ; it is not sufficient that it may be a strong auxiliary in the hands of a commanding officer, but can the efficiency of the army or navy, by any possibility, or by any means, be secured without a recourse thereto ? That it is possible to do without it, the condition of the French army and navy, in which it was totally and entirely done away with by NAPOLEON BONA PARTE, during the existence of a war of the greatest magnitude, when, if ever, such an adjunct would be re quired, and in which it has not since been restored, will sufficiently attest. What is there in the nature of Englishmen that they cannot be acted upon by the same motives and influenced by the same considera tions that are found to be of sufficient weight with Frenchmen ? The assertion is a grievous wrong to our countrymen. It is not tolerated or sanctioned, at least to the same extent, in the services of any civilised nation in the world. Can it be believed that within five years, from 1839 to 1843 inclusive, no less than 14,759 British sol diers and sailors have suffered the barbarous and cruel infliction ? On an average during that period 245 of our brethren, our defenders, have been so tortured and degraded in every month, and yet the Parliamen tary.ltet:urn session 1845), in which five regiments. on foreign service, from which no returns were re ceived, are excluded, attests the fearful, the astound ing fact. How many of those 14,759 yielded up their lives, and suffered a death of unparalleled seve rity, for some trivial offence—how many bro ken hearted men, with enfeebled and de cayed constitutios.s, lingered on a wretched and spiritless existence, or gave themselves up to dissipation and intoxication, ending in total depravity, it is impossible for us to conjecture. We fear that the victims were snore numerous, their histories more heartrending, than the public can form any con ception of. The clear and lucid explanations given by Mr. WILSON in his evidence, to which we have already referred, and the admirable letter on the physiology of flogging, from " CENsoa," which we published in The Sun of Tuesday, all show how fatal an injury to the skin, whether the result of a burn or a lash, may prove to the sufferer, that it may induce lingering disease and death. Our columns last night recorded the death c f a brave young man, JAMES CATTERMOLE, who burnt his hands severely on the 12th July last, in extin guishing a fire which had seized on the clothes of his young mistress. Although he received the kindest at tention, the most able professional assistance, and al though the burns to his hands were healed in the course of a few days, he gradually sunk, and on Monday last died from the shock to the system occasioned by the excitement and the injuries received from the burning. This melancholy case affords a strong corroboration to the opinions of Mr. WILsoN and of " CENSOR." Why, then, should these things be ? Why should the lives of our fellow-creatures be so unnecessarily, so cruelly sacrificed ? The most zea lous advocates of the system, the most ardent and en thusiastic supporters of the necessity of flogging in the army and navy, admit that the less flogging there is the better ; that the ship or the regiment in which there is the moat flogging is invariably the worst managed.

The unfortunate man, HIGGINS, was (by direction of the surgeon) taken down after 150 lashes, as he could not safely receive any more. Perhaps by a refine ment of cruelty, he will, on his recovery, be again tied up to receive the full remainder of his sentence, which must tell with much greater effect when applied on the cicatrized wounds, the newly organized skin. We are not informed of the offence for which LEE, the other sufferer was punished with 100 lashes, but from the lesser sentence we must suppose it to be of a very mitigated character. Englishmen, we call on you; to spare no exertions to effect the suppression, the total abolition of the horrible system, to remove the stain that must rest on our nation while the prac tice is sanctioned or tolerated. Madrid papers of the 25th have been received, but they are absolutely destitute of news. The Bolsa was closed as it was the fete of St. Jago. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Journal des Debats, in its account of the attempt on the KING'S life, says that two pistols were fired at the KING by the assassin, who made no resistance on being arrested. The assassin is fifty-five years of age, of small stature, and was elegantly dressed. A council of Ministers, at which the KING presided, was held at the Tuileries immediately after the arrest of the assassin, at which it was dete, mined to refer the pro secution to the Court of Peers. The KING left for Neuilly as soon as the council rose. An express was sent after M. GutzoT, who had left in the afternoon, for Val Richer. He was overtaken at St. Germans, and immediately proceeded to Neuilly, where he was received by the KING and Royal Family, and arrived at half-after twelve, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Had not the KING perceived the assassin, and pointed him out to the crowd, the probability is that he would have escaped. The assassin is said to be evidently a half idiot. It is feared, however, that the Ministry will be forced to execute him, as the Opposition declare the whole affair to have been an election manoeuvre. It is to be hoped that the KING will prevail on his Ministers to treat these absurd insinua tions as they deserve, and that the life of - the unfortunate idiot, who probably was not aware of the magnitude of the crime which he contemplated, will not be sacrificed because others are as wicked as he is weak. The KING and QUEEN left Neuilly for Eu on Monday morning, and at the same time the Duke and Duchess D'AUMALE left by the Northern Rail road for Chantilly. In an article on the elections, the Presse taunts M. THIERS with not daring to address a public as sembly of the electors of France, because he is well aware that if he were to venture to give an exposition of his principles, so many of his now supporters would protest against his programme, that his alleged party would show itself to be a confused assemblage of dis cordant opinions—an anarchy out of which it would be impossible to form a homogeneous administration.

REPRESENTATION OF CLONMEL CONFIDENCE IN MR. O'CONNELL. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) CLONMEL, JULY 30.—A large and influential meeting of the repeal constituency of this borough was held yesterday, for the purpose of considering the steps to be adopted in con sequence of the election of Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., as the representative of Dundalk. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Alderman Hackett, and a resolution was proposed by Mr. O'Neill, and seconded by Mr. Brennan, calling, in the name of the repeal constituency of Clonmel, upon Daniel O'Connell, the liberator and political father of his country, "in whom we place unlimited confidence" (such are the words of the resolution), to select one as their re presentative in Parliament whom he may recommend as a true repealer. The resolution goes on to express the regret of the electors at being deprived of the honour of being re presented in Parliament by the son of the Liberator, now the Member for Dundalk. This resolution was carried unanimously, and the announcement that it was so carried was received with rounds of enthusiastic cheering. RAILWAY RETURNS.

A meeting of booksellers, stationers, and others, was held to-day, at the London Tavern, to consider the propriety of petitioning the Legislature against certain clauses in the Bills of the Bristol, Birmingham And Midland, and other railway companies, authorising them to open parcels, and charge a separate carriage for every inclosure. The follow ing is the clause sought to be introduced into the Bill now before Parliament : it is ell - titled "An Act to consolidate the Bristol and Gloucester, and L'frrninr,„bam and Glou cester Railway Companies, with the Midland Railway :" " And provided also that it shall not be lawful to include in one packet several parcels of various sorts and intended for various inCividuals, but that it shall be lawful for the Mid land Railway Company to charge a separate sum for each such parcel, although many are included in one packet." A number of influential gentlemen were present. The LORD MAYOR took the chair at twelve o'clock. After reading the advertisement, he said the course which the Railway Company proposed to pursue, wa-, in his opinion, so unconstitutional, and at the same time so unjust, that he should be happy to hear what those present had to say on the subject. The first business proceeded with was the reading of a petition to the House of Parliament, which set forth that stationers, booksellers, patent medicine sellers, and others in London, and in the provinces, are in the habit of transmitting various articles to oblige their friends or customers in their parcels ; that the practice had existed for time immemorial, and that if the clause were allowed to pass great inconvenience and expense would be entailed upon them ; that it would, besides, endow railway companies with the power of opening every 'ergo package, to examine its contents, and to charge for every parcel it might contain, and praying that it might be expunged from the Bill. Mr. R. TAYLOR proposed the following resolution : " That the meeting has heard with the deepest regret that great and unceasing efforts continue to be made by different railway companies to introduce into their Bills powers to enable them to open and examine the contents of all parcels and packages which may be entrusted to them for convey ance, on the ground that they may contain smaller parcels, which ought to be the subject of separate charge; that the meeting considers such powers, if granted, would be most unconstitutional, and would vexatiously interfere with the great commercial interests of this coun try, and that, with these convictions, the meeting cordially adopts the petition which has been read.' lie considered that the clause, if passed, would be a gross and unconstitutional violation of the rights of every subject of the realm, as it would subject every package transmitted by a railway to an examination by its officers—a right which he considered ought not to be delegated to a private company. Besides, it could not fail to interfere materially with com merce. Railways obtained great privileges from Parliament, but those privileges were obtained on the ground that great public convenience would result from them; but, if instead of that, they were found to extort money from the public in a way they had no right, he apprehended the Legislature would prevent them from doing so. They all knew that the ordi nary carriers, were subjected to stringent regulations and tines, if they detained goods beyond a certain period, and were railways to be exempted from such provisions, and not to attend to the convenience of the public? Then again, it would prevent the diffusion of knowledge. For many years he had been chiefly engaged in cheap periodi cals, but they could not exist if there was not the facility of sending them readily all over the kingdom ; if they were charged a sum disproportionate to their price of carriage, they must be relinquished. Philosophical societies could scarcely support the publication of their journals. Their members are scattered over the country, and the monthly journals are transmitted to them through booksellers in London, so also were presentation copies by authors ; but if the parcels were to be broken open, and each parcel charged separately, a great, if not a total, check would be put to the diffusion of information by this means. Manuscripts, drawings, music, and small portions of philosophic?' apparatus requiring re pair in London were frequently sent in bookseller's parcels; but if they were charged respectively the greatest inconve nience and expense would be the natural result. The Go vernment, in adopting cheap postage, took an exactly oppo site direction.—(Hear, hear.) When the Government had done this, and conferred a benefit upon the country, was it to be tolerated that companies desirous of obtaining a mo nopoly should have the power to break open packages, and, unlike the Post-office, where letters were charged according to their weight, and quite irrespective of the quantity of their contents, to charge for each parcel, supposing there were a number separately? He cordially concurred in the sentiments of the petition and the resolution, and would do his best to call the attention of Members of Parliament to the subject.—(Cheers.) Mr. bTONEMAN seconded the motion. He considered that the clause would not affect booksellers alone, but every one engaged in business, as it would confine transactions between parties. If it was annoying to have the seal of one's letter broken in its progress through the Post office, it was equally annoying, if not more so, to have one's parcels broken open, and perhaps the private commu nications it contained perused. This he apprehended would be the effect of it, and if one company obtained the power others would not be slow to imitate their example. They had, therefore, taken a step in the right direction, and should call upon their representatives to watch narrowly that such objectionable clauses are not introduced into other railway Bills. If a package contained fifty parcels it ought to be inviolable to all, save the consigner and consignee. Besides, the company could not be defrauded, because :hey charged by. weight. They liked small parcels on account of being enabled to charge more for agency.—(Hear.) Parcels would be examined by the servants of a railway, as if they were Custom-house officers. Manu facturers were in the habit of sending a number of patterns to their customers, which were made up in one large parcel, and were delivered frequently by an agent, and frequently halt-a-dozen persons in a town had books through the hands of the booksellers, who received them in s)ne parcel fr,,m London, with both of which the clause would interfere and prevent. He could characterise the power thus sought to be obtained as nothing less than a gross and tyrannous monopoly.—(Hear.) The motion was then carried unanimously. Mr. RIDDLE proposed the next resolution—" That the Right Hon. Lord John Russell be requested to present the petition of this meeting to the House of Commons, and to report the prayer thereof." The clause would, in his opinion, bring destruction to the bookselling and stationery trade. Mr. E. WILSON seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. RICHARDSON, in proposing a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, characterised the clause as a gross imposition on the public at large, and said that it ought to be strongly resisted. If the parcels were charged separately, the additional expense and porterage would be great. Messrs Morrison, Dillon, and Company, one of the largest 1 ouses in the City, had parcels sent to them by parties, to transmit in their packages to various parts of the country. He (Mr. Richardson) had also parcels sent to him for a similar purpose; in fact, the practice was an old one, and was extensively followed, and anything which would pre vent it ought to be strongly resisted. They were greatly indebted to the Lord Mayor for his services, and tbr the publicity which his presence would give to the proceedings. Mr. ORK seconded the motion, and considered that the clause would introduce a vile system of espionage, which the public would not tolerate. Some time ago the London and Birmingham Company proposed a similar clause, but when a meeting was announced on the subject it was with drawn. The motion was carried, and the Lord Mayor returned thanks. Before the separation of the meeting a number of signa tures were appended to the petitions to both Houses of Parliament. WORCESTER, HEREFORD, Ross, AND CLOUCEST2 Sun RAILWAY COMPANY.—In the accou n t o f a mee ting of a " Company which appeared in the Third Edition of The of Monday last, some questions relativ e t o the engineer ' s accounts were attributed erroneously to Mr. Hall, of Ross.

But in a meeting so ill-ordered and disorderly, the marvel would have been if our reporter had entirely avoided mistake ; and it might have been greater but for the obliging, con duct of the Compaßy's Secretary.

THE _ A MPTULICON LIFE-BOAT.—T Khere was a report in circulation some few days since that there would be a rendezvous of life-boats at ilarwich, upon Tuesday last, for the purpose of testing the relative qualities of the various prin ciples of construction of so important a branch of navel con struction; but, owing to some cause or other, no such meet ing as that took place. Lieutenant George Walter, F.R.G.S , however, sent his Kamptuli con lif e -b oat to that port, under ' the charge of an experienced Deal boatman, which created a good deal of interest at this port, and was visited and in spected by the Mayor, several influential inhabitants and gentlemen of the country, and the Lieutenant of the Coast Guard, who expressed themselves much pleased with her peculiar construction and capabilities. The boat is 36 feet long, 4 feet in c'epth, and 12 feet in breadth; has 26 air boxes, capable, together with the buoyancy of the material of which she is built (a composition of cork and india-rubber), of sustaining, in an emergency, even when the plugs are out, 100 persons, and when continually filled by heavy seas. She cannot be bilged, or sunk, nor can she be splintered by cannon-shot or rocks. She is built upon the celebrated model of Mr. Greathead's. The want of an efficient life boat like the onej above is much felt at Harwich. In the rv l i atg part of last winte r a H am t urg h vesse l wa s lost off Harwich, and all on board perished, from the want of an efficient life boat. NV.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The festivities at Liverpool, yesterday, again caused holi day-making in the Cotton and Share Markets. by the Britannia steamer we have received our usual files of papers and letters from Canada and the United States. We are glad to hind that as soon as the intelligence of the destructive fire at Newfoundland was received, a meeting of the inhabitants of Quebec was held to receive subscriptions, and 1,000/. were given to be transmitted im meidately. Prompt administration of aid in a case like this is of course of urgent necessity. There skins to be a feeling springing up in Canada, that the new ffiriff of Sir Robert Peel's Ministry will not, after all, turn out so very dangerous to colonial interests as was at first supposed. By the way, it ought to have been before mentioned that 1,000 barrels of flour were immediately or dered to be shipped to St. John's, Newfoundland. The Re lief Committee for the sufferers by the fires at Quebec were continuing their operations. The total amount paid up to the 29th June was 108,7201. Os. 11d. The balance was 5Q,5911. in the treasurer's hands, and 10,0001. 95. 9d. lent out at interest at 3 per cent. The Committee were authorised to take steps to affording immediate relief to the extent of 15,000/. The number of vessels that had arrived at Quebec to the 9th July, inclusive, was, in 1846, 675; tonnage, 247,967. In 1845 the number was 834, of the tonnage of 308,719 tons. The mercantile accounts from New York are rather of a mol e favourable character. The weekly returns of the operations of the Bank of England, as compared with that of the previous week, shows the following results:- An increase in the circulation of 1,730,411/., or to 29,312,9457. An increase in the Rest of 2,2401, or to 3,508,3781. An increase in the Public Deposits of 275,706/., or to 3,438,401/. A decrease' in the other Deposits of 599,632/., or to 14,305,3411. A decrease in other securities of 798,9901., or to 14,583,407/. An increase in the amount of the rates in the Banking Department, of 423,6751., or to 8,562,695/. An increase in the amount of Bullion, of 86,751/., or to 15,949,427/. The Consol Markets have been very steady at 96 1 4. For Money the price has receded a shade, and so have Ex chequer-bills, which are now only at Bs. premium.
