THE WATERMEN'S PIER, GREENWICH.—The war in reqiect to the Waterrnen's Pier, at Gieenwich, appears likely to be carried on with great spirit, as, although on Tuesday evening, and on Thursday morning, the embarkation was effected at a gangway a few yards above Garden-stairs, yet at high water on Thursday, directions having been previously sent from head-quarters, the men in the employ of the Watermen's Company brought back from the middle of the stream the dumb lighters which formed the old floating pier at Garden-stairs, and, placing them in their original position, at five o'clock the gangways were in combination with the stairs, and passengers were embarking and re-embarking as usual. Several of the inhabitants of Greenwich have, taken up the cause, and a requisition on the subject having been esented to the High Constable, he convened a borough meeting to consider the matter, Ivhich was held iu the Lee- Sure - ball yesterday eyenipg, COPYRIGHT .EDITIONS. .

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 184 6 tees. Sir ROBERT PEEL also expressed a doubt whether the fine arts were encouraged by the esta blishment of art-unions—in fact, he said, that they rather encouraged a taste for cheap and inferior pro ductions in place of others which deserved the deno mination cf line art. Now, with all respect for the Right Honourable Baronet, we must express our entire dissent from the proposition. The child, the father of the future man, must be content to creep before he can walk, to totter along feebly before he can stride proudly in the consciousness of strength and power. Few, indeed, have the means at their command which the Right Hon. Baronet possesses to enable them to indulge a similar taste for the fine arts, and still fewer so liberally expend a portion of their means in the judicious and generous patronage of the productions of their own countrymen. The picture collectors too frequently will expend sums in the purchase of a few works of deceased masters, which, applied in the fostering and encouragement of British art, would carry comfort and happiness to the studio of many a talented and labo rious man who has pined in poverty and destitution before his real genius has been known, before he has become a fashionable artist, and had a due ap preciation given to his works, which, after his death, may produce an amount ten times exceed ing that which, if procured in his life-time, would have enabled him to support and educate his family, and perhaps have prolonged a valuable life which had been prematurely cut short from the sufferings of distress and the effects of hope de ferred. Witness the painful, the harrowing termina tion of the career of the gifted HAYDON. Had due and proper patronage been afforded, he would still be cherished in the bosom of his family, making fresh exertions for the furtherance and improvement of the British school of painting. His sufferings have been those of thousands of his brother artists, who have perished more slowly, but not less surely, from the withering influences of bitter disappointment and blighting poverty. Others have been obliged to give up the cherished aspira tions of their early youth, the brilliant visions that cheered and encouraged them during their ac quirement of the art, and to devote exertions worthy of better things to the acquisition, not of fame, but of bread ! Whether is it better that such things should he, or that, perchance, a few pictures of little merit should be purchased and hung up in the apartments of the middle classes ? The taste, too, of the purchasers will improve, and those, who, in the first instance were contented with a mere daub, will soon require a better class of pictures. The prizes are so divided and apportioned, that pictures of every price may be purchased. Those of 3001. or 400 Z., to which something may pro bably be added by the persons to whom they are allotted, will procure works of first-rate merit. The smaller ones will also enable the pos sessors to obtain works which certainly will not propagate an inferior or vitiated taste. They may be applied as an encouragement to young artists, who, although deficient in the perfection of the art, yet show symptoms of genius that would afford a fair prospect of future excellence, if fostered and encouraged. In some of the unions the prizes are all selected by the committee, who will pur chase nothing which does not evince a fair promise on the part of its author, certainly nothing of a bad or inferior school. This may possibly be the better plan, as the entire amount of the purchases are so regulated as to give its fair proportion to every different system. Others (and amongst them the managers of the leviathan, the London Art-Union) think the plan of allotting a sum of money, which in every instance must be ex pended in the purchase of a single work, a better one, inasmuch as the prizeholder wiP and the public offices, being the anniversary of one of the glorious da:s of July.

He confessed his crime, and recognised, as belonging to him, the pistols he had used to commit the attempt. It appears moreover, that he had long entertained the project, for he declared that he contemplated its execution on the Ist of July—the day on which he performed duty as a National Guard at the Tuileries. , .

"The Council of Ministers was held in the evening at the Palace, at which it was decided that he should be tried by the Court of Peers. "The King returned, after the Council, to the Chateau of Neuilly, and is to leave to-morrow fur the Chateau of jFrom the Chronicle.) Eu.'" PARIS, JULY 29, ELEVEN O'CLOCK, P.M.—The King of the Fre.nch has been again fired at. This evening, at nine o'clock, a little after his Majesty, accompanied bj the Queen, Madame Adelaide, and the other memiers of the royal family, appeared on the balcony of the Tour del. Horologe, at the Palace of the Tuileries, to receive the salutations of the people assembled in the gardens of the Tuileries on the occasion cf the ides of July, a man stepped from behind the platform upon which the musicians were placed, and fired a pistol at the King. His Majesty pointei out the direction where the man stood, and the assassin was im:nediately arrested by a surveillant of the garden and a police agent. He was immedately taken into the palace, where he was kept in custody. The King then signified his wish that the concert, fireworks, and other amuse ments should go on as if nothing had happened. After the fireworks, a short examination of the pri soner took place. He declared himself to have been urged on by a reverse of circumstances, and he denied having any accomplices. The prisoner is about forty years of age. He is stout and rather corpulent. He was very well dressed, but it has not yet transpired in what rank of life he is. • The pistol was a small one, and could not carry one- half the distance to the balcony where the King was standing. The King left the Tuileries at ten o'clock for the Chateau d'Eu. He was, as usual, perfectly cool and collected throughout the whole affair. (From the Times.) We received by extraordinary express last evening, but too late for publication, a letter from our corre spondent in Paris, dated 10 o'clock, r.m., Wednesday, July 29. It is as follows : "A person just arrived from the concert, given at the Tuileries," says the Constitutionnel— " Has informed us that, at the moment when the King appeared on the balcony a slight' explosion was heard, and that an individual, the bearer of a pocket pistol, was ar rested." [ From La Presse— " A new attempt has just been made on the life of the King. This evening (Wednesday), at the moment the con cert began under the windows of the Tuileries, and the King appeared on the balcony of the Salle des Marechoux, in com pany with the Queen and the Royal Family, two shots were fired from among the crowd, who greeted his Majesty with cheers. The King was not touched. The murderer was in stantly arrested, and was with difficulty rescued from the indignation of the crowd. He stated his name to be Joseph Henri. He did not attempt to deny his crime, and recog nised the arms he had used. He is reported to be a .manu facturer of fancy articles, and resides in Paris. 140 f. in gold were found in his possession." From the Courrier Francais— " About half past seven o'clock in the evening as the band was performing "La Marseillaise," a pistol-shot was fired from behind the pedestal of the Venus a la Tortue, at the King, who was on the balcony. The shot fortunately did not take effect; the murderer was immediately secured. The report spread rapidly amongst the population, but the fete was not for one moment interrupted. The King crosses; the Boulevards at half-past 10 o'clock on his way to \euilly." From the Moniteur "This evening at half-past seven, at the moment when the King, accompanied by the Queen and the Royal Family, ap peared on the balcou of the Tuileries, in order to hear the concert, two pistol-shots were fired at his Majesty. The King was not struck. The assassin confesses his crime." From the Epoque : " A freeh atrocious attempt has again afflicted to-day the population of I'aris, and will cause every honest heart to grieve. This evening, at h a lf- pas t seven o'clock, a wretched assassin—a mad man—who bad stationed himself not far from the Pavilion de Fllorlorge, in the garden of the Tuileries, took advantage of the moment when the King, surrounded by the Royal Family, had placed himself at the balcony, and was preparing to attend to the concert, and fired two pistol-shots at his Majesty. At the noise of this double explosion, the guardians of the chateau immediately ran to the spot, but the assassin, pointed out by the King himself, had already been arrested by the indignant crowd. "At 7 o'clock this evening, when the King and the Royal Family had entered the balcony of the Pala:.:e of the Tuileries overlooking the garden, to hear the concert given in the open air below, a pistol_shot was fired at his Majesty by a man in the crowd below, who is said to have been in the uniform of the National Guard. 'The charmed life 'of the King was again proof against the bullet of the assassin. His Majesty was not touched. The miscreant was im mediately arrested. "The King and Royal Family, who, by a providential chance, had not been struck, remained on the balcony, and had at least this good fortune to hear shouted, with redoubled energy, the cries of Ville le lioi ! which had welcomed their arrival. " This touching mark of love and devotedness affected his Majesty most profoundly. He forgot, at that moment, the hatred of a few wretches, and thought only of the manifes tations of gratitude and veneration which an entire people laid at his feet to console him for so many and such odious acts of ingratitude. "The King, Queen, and Royal Family only entered the Hall of the Marshals when the concert was over, to pass through the apartments of the Pavilion de Flore, where his Majesty gave as usual, and as if nothing had occurred, the signal for the fireworks to begin. " The assassin, who escaped with difficulty the general indignation, was conducted into the Salle des Aides-de- Camp by the citizens and soldiers who had arrested him. There he was immediately searched, and the two pistols found with which he had committed the crime, the consum mation of which Providence, for the seventh time, did not permit. " M. Guizot had left Paris at 5 o'clock, on his re turn to Lisieux. At that moment all was quiet, and the people in the full enjoyment of the file. As it was too late to work the telegraph (and I believe the truth is that all the employes were enjoying the enter tainments) an express has been sent to recal him to Paris, but as he travels fast, he will hardly be over taken before his arrival at Rouen. " A Cabinet Council is in the meanwhile sum moned. " Not only was there no demonstration in support of the assassin, but not one person out of 10,000 of those in the gardens when the attempt was made was aware that such an incident had occurred. " Paris is as tranquil as amidst the entertainments, fireworks, and illuminations on an immense scale it could possibly be expected to be. "No disposition but to enjoy the entertainments so liberally provided is in the slightest degree per ceptible. frequently be tempted to expend a further sum of his own, and thus to procure a work agreeable to his own taste or fancy. We shall not discuss the relative merits of these systems ; but we are thoroughly con vinced that by either a great benefit is conferred, not merely on the artists, but on the public generally ; and that a taste for cheap and inferior productions, in the place of others which deserve the denomination of fine art, is not the necessary or the probable re sult of either course. " The assassin, who declared his name to be Joseph Henri, did not attempt to deny his crime, and acknowledged the fire-arms to belong to him. He is about 50 years old, of low stature, and Ilia countenance bears the trace of profound grief. He is by trade a manufacturer of fancy articles, and lived at No. 8, Rue Limoges, in Paris. 100 francs in gold were found in his possession. HALF•PAST 10 O'CLOCK , " The assassin is a young lad of from 16 to 20, and was apparently tipsy. It was with a percussion pis tol that he made the attempt. He was arrested by one of the musicians. " In his first interrogatory, Joseph Henri pretended that no political nor private vengeance had instigated him. The desire of terminating a miserable existence, and to be talked or oet..ftor, bad alone inspired him to commit the crime, although, as we ouv,, already mentioned, rattier ~,luiptnt ant stun was found on him. "The King has left for Neuilly." A telegraphic dispatch received at Calais states that two shots were tHred, and that the assassin upon being arrested confes4d his crime. Fresh proposals of a commercial treaty with the Zpll verein have been made by France. These proposals, says the Carlshrue Gazette, have been, it is said, favour ably received by the Cabinet of Berlin, but it is iot known whether the French propositions have as yet been submitted to the Conference of the Zollverein. A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 15th July, says— ." He declared, besides, that for a month past he had enter. tained the design he executed to-day; and that on the 30th of June last, being on guard at the Post du Drapeau, he had only been prevented by the dishonour which might have resulted to the company of the National Guard he be longed to (!) from perpetrating the crime. We will abstain ut present from all comments. We content ourselves in publishing the facts, without accompanying them with any appreciation. In the political situation which France now finds herself in we should lament to have our words misin terpreted. In consequence we abstain from all commentaries. It is for the country, for the electors and friends of our in stitutions, to determine en the bestcourse to pursue." From Galignanis Messenger— " The great topic of conversation here is an incident which proves how far passive obedience may go in Russia. Some days ago, the Emperor was proceeding to Cronstadt in a steamer, and at the same time an English brig was manoeuvring to get out of the channel. The captain of the steamer wanted to deviate from the direct line, in order to avoid r collision with the English vessel, but the Em peror ordered him to continue his first direction. The captain unhesitatingly obeyed, and the consequence was what might have been expected—a violent shock between the two ves sels, by which the chimney of the steamer was thrown down, and the vessel itself injured. Admiral Maiden, who was standing near the Emperor, was wounded, and se veral other officers bruised. The officers in command of the Baltic fleet wanted to place the captain of the steamer under arrest, but the Emperor would not permit it, and expressed to the Captain his satisfaction at the manner in which he acted. The English vessel continued her voyage. It is not known if she be injured or not, but there is no doubt that the Emperor will pay for whatever damage has been done. The Emperor has accorded several favours on the marriage of his daughter. Count Strogonoff, who was sent to England as Extraordiny Ambassador for the coronation of Queen Vic toria, has been appointed Grand Chamberlain. A noble Pole, Count Michael Wilhorski, has been named Grand Cup bearer. Prince de Hohenlohe, Ambassador of Wurtemberg at St. Petersburgh, has received the Grand Cordon of Alexander." " We feel infinite regret in having to announce that another mad attempt was made to assassinate the King of the French. A little after his Majesty had made his appearance on the Balcony de l'Horloge, to salute the people, a man, standing not far from the platform on which the band was placed, drew forth a pistol and, directing it at the royal party, fired. The King hearing the detonation pointed with his hand to the direction where the man was standing, and a surveillant of the garden and a police-officer succeeded in arresting him. He was immediately taken into the palace amidst the unanimous execrations of the surrounding multitude, and the King then signified his wish that all the proceedings of the evening should go on as usual. After the fireworks had concluded, a brief examination took place of the prisoner. He is a man of about forty years of age, short and stout in appearance, and respectably dressed. He declared his name to be Joseph Henri, and said that he had no accomplice, a reverse of circumstances having prompted him to his senseless act. The pistol found on him was a small pocket one, which could not possibly carry half the dis tance between the spot where he stood and the royal balcony. It said that an investigation having been made at his lodging (where it was situated we could not ascertain), it would ap pear that the account which he had given of himself was found to be inconsistent and incorrect. The greatest indig nation was exhibited throughout the capital when the news of this attempt became known. The King showed on the occasion all his accustomed sang froid, and the Queen, Madame Adelaide, and the Princess de Joinville, were not at first, we have heard, aware of what had happened. His Ma jesty set off about 10 o'clock for Eu." Intelligence has been received from Rome of the 20th. Public rejoicings were going on for the amnesty, and everything was being conducted with the greatest order. The ForE had been drawn on the preceding Sunday from the Church of the Missions to the Quirinal by several young men of the first families in Rome. These young men had taken out the horses and attached themselves to the carriage of his HOLINESS. All the amnestied prisoners had been released from the Castle of St. Angelo ; among them was Signor RENZI, the chief of the late insurrection at Rimini. Madrid papers of the 24th, have arrived. An officer attached to the department of the Minister of War, was dispatched on the 22d to Lisbon, as the bearer of the ultimatum of the Spanish Government on the subject of the extradition of the Spanish refugee officers. GONZALES BRAVO had demanded their extra dition, alleging that they were conspiring against Spain. This demand the Cabinet of Lisbon had refused, and it certainly is un peu fort on the part of GONZALES BRA►O, who has been openly interfering in the affairs of Portugal, by enabling the brothers CA , BRAL to escape from justice, and on the part of the Spanish Government, which has afforded countenance and protection to these very CAnRALS, aiding, assisting, and abetting them in their plots against the established Government of Portugal, to demand the extradition of the Spanish refugees. Spain, however, seems inclined to back up her demand by force. The Captain-Gene ral of Andalusia has left Seville, and is to establish his bead-quarters at Cerro, where he is to be joined by a battalion from the garrison of Cadiz. General VILLA LoNGA has been ordered to cover the line from Guarda to Verin, and an army of 30,000 men is to be stationed along the Portuguese frontier. The Clamor Public° states that the Portuguese Go vernment has, in conformity with the demands of Spain, ordered General IRIARTE to leave the Portuguese ter ritory. Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS has written to the QUEEN' MOTHER, excusing himself from attending the approach in g fetes. MADRID BoLse, JULY 24.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 21k; and the Debt without Interest, at 6 11-16. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. A detailed account will be found elsewhere of the diabolical, but fortunately abortive attempt made on the evening of that day to assassinate his Majesty King " Louis PHILIPPE. We find in the Moniteur a report of the Minister of Marine, recommending 126 slaves, the property of the French Government in the West India colonies, for emancipation. The total number of slaves belonging to the State is 496. _ _ _ _____ The French squadron on the western coast of Africa have captured, in addition to the Sardinian slaver sent to Brest for adjudication, two Brazilian slavers, the schooner Adelaide, on the coast of Congo, and the schooner Sans Pareille, in the Gulf of Benin.

Thanks, however, to the interposition of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, that ve nerable life, which had already been preserved in six perils of a similar character, has survived this most odious and audacious endeavour. France has been spared the infamy of a crime which, considering the circumstances attendant upon this occasion, would have rendered the murder of their SOVEREIGN an act of atrocity altogether without any precedent. We con fess ourselves to be moved to sentiments more in tense and overwhelming than those of indig nation by this seventh attempt at the de struction of the extraordinary man now seated on the throne of France. We are oppressed with feelings of despondency at the intensity of that most execrable ambition which lures murderer after mur derer from seclusion, and places in jeopardy the existence, with the continuance of which the destinies of nations are so intimately and inextricably associated. We are aroused with sentiments of abhorrence at those wretched criminals who endeavour to gain a bloody entrance into history, and inscribe their names upon its pages in characters of immortal gloom. The in famous celebrity which has been conceded to RAVAIL LAC, FULTON, CADOUDAL, TYRREL, and that fraternity of villains, appears to act as a species of incitement upon every individual misanthropised by misfortunes, or reckless of punishment. To people of morbid imaginations, saturnine temperaments, audacity, to men so agonised in mind, that oblivion would be welcomed as an exquisite solace ; to men rendered fanatical either by frenzy or impiety, and to others goaded on to the commission of such monster crimes, the execration of contemporaries, and the loathing of an interminable posterity, appear to be objects of mysterious attraction. L egislative wisdom is baffled in its struggle to prevent the recurrence of these terrible deeds. No punishment seems adequate either as an expiation of the blood-guiltiness incurred, or as a preventative of similar catastrophes. Of this lamentable truth centuries of experience are an incontestable evidence ; and supposing any indi vidual instance were requisite for its illustration, none could be adduced more terribly to the point than the one which has only just transpired. 'We have already designated this attempted assassination as more dastardly than the one perpetrated in the forest of Fontainebleau ; we will go further, and call it the most dastardly of the seven attempts at the destruction of Louis Puturre—as the most das tardly attempt at regicide that has ever been recorded in the annals of crime ! That our estimate is no exaggeration the facts themselves testify. These facts are, according to the most accurate of the many versions which here been elicited by public curiosity as follows :—ln accordance with a beautiful custom preserved in the French metropolis, the Citizen King, on the anniversary of the 29th of July, from a window of the Tuileries, receives the homage of his people. Somewhere about half-past seven on 'Wednesday evening, the sixteenth anni niversary of that glorious revolution which had called him to the throne of the greatest continental empire on the globe, LOUIS PIIILLIPPE, surrounded by his august family, presented himself on the Balcony de l'llorloge. At that moment—a moment almost sublime,from the recollections which it evoked—the or chestra performing the "Illarseillaise Hymn," the vast concourse of Parisians assembled in the gardens of the Tuileries, welcoming their SOVEREIGN with acclama tions, two explosions are heard in rapid succession. The KING points in the direction from which they have proceeded. His life has been attempted for the seventh time—for the seventh time it has been spared. The murderer is found skulking behind the statue of Venus a la Tortue ; he is with difficulty preserved from the infuriated multitude and placed in confinement. These are the simple circum , stances connected with this calamity, for a mos grievous calamity it unquestionably is. Ilernem, Bering the solemnity of the occasion during which it transpired, remembering that the crime was at tempted in the midst of a concourse abandoned to sentiments of joy, frivolity, and exultation, and that the very moment of its commission was one of national gratitude to that great national benefactor whose existence was thus suddenly threatened, we cannot surely be accused of exaggeration in regarding this attempt as more dia- bolical than the one in the Boulevards or the one a Fontainebleau, and in regarding JOSEPH HENRI, if possible, with greater indignation than ALIBAUD, FIESCHI, or LECOMTE. If ever LOUIS PHILIPPE required the sympathies of his fellow-men, it is at this moment, for the diabolical act of HENRI is an assurance to the French Monarch that his life is in jeopardy on any and every occasion, in any or every situation. . _ - - He had previously been assailed on a hunting excur. sion, in his passage to his Chambers of Legislature, in the midst of a gorgeous staff of aides-de-camp ; he has now been assailed on a gala day, in the midst of amusement, surrounded by the frivolities of plea. sure and recreation. That consideration is suffiCien' to embitter the whole existence of this eminent and good KING, alike illustrious for his misfortunes, his wisdom and his generosity of heart. Nevertheless, the criminal naust have the benefit of justice as much as a prisoner guilty only of petty larceny. The suspicious circumstance of the large sum of gold found in his possessicn must be unravelled ; everything in extenuation of his guilt must be lis• tened to, and especially the intense audacity of the act — an act which denied escape, rendered success almost an impossibility, and thus offers an emphatic argu ment in favour of the murderer's insanity. Still, in meting out justice to the criminal, and in presenting a salutary warning against all would-be regicides, let us tender our sympathies to that noble and venerable monarch whose life is thus incessantly jeopardised. And, above all, let the French people gaurd the life of Louis PHILIPPE with their loyalty; let them, in GoD's name, shield him with their love. The Art-Unions Bill passed the House of Commons on Thursday, having received its third reading. We yesterday showed that its principle did not come within the mischief occasioned by lotteries, and that practically every subscriber received the full value for his contribution in almost every instance, and that the surplus was divided in the manner likely to confer the greatest benefit on the artists themselves, by being applied to the purchase of their productions, thus supplying a motive and stimulus to exertion, and affording a market which would not smallexist a sum was annually but forsuchsecieatinens.lly p It is e xweel nde d in h l known how e purchase of works of art previous to the rise and progress of the different societies ; the com parative amount 'so laid out may appear, from the reports of the principal art-unions in different towns, and it will be found that the increase of private pur ellages has been more than proportioned to the sums expended by the unions themselves. The person who, a few short years ago, would not have dreamt of purchasing a painting, will, on obtaining a prize, naturally feel anxious to have a companion for it, which he will probably procure from his private resources. He will become accustomed to see his rooms ornamented with some of the productions of art, the elegancies and luxuries of civilised life ; an d i n a short period will regularly devote a portion of his surplus income to the acquisition thereof; th us an immeasurably greater degree of benefit to art and artists is produced than the mere amount distributed by or through the hands of the art-unions commit- i LATEST PARTICULARS. We have received by Extraordinary Express the Paris papers of yesterday, with letters from our cor respondent. We make from the latter the following extracts :-- " PARIS, THURSDAY, JULY 30. " Half an hour after I had sent off my dispatch last night, I heard from an official source the principal incidents of the attempt on the King's life, and the leading details of the assassin's examination. As that account only differed from mine in respect of the age of the miscreant (who, I had been informed, was only sixteen or twenty years of age), I did not deem it worth an express to correct it. The main facts were in your possession. "I now forward you this day's papers with the details. "When you shall recollect that at the moment of this diabolical attempt there were congregated in the gardens of the Tuileries and their vicinity half a mil lion of people ; that the fêtes were drawing towards their close, and everybody engaged in enjoying them, you will not be surprised at learning that so few per sons were aware of the fact that the King had been fired at. When I heard of it any attempt to obtain authentic particulars was for the time out of the question. Every official person —even the porters of the hotels—were abroad. Hence the imperfect nature of the first account. " I mentioned last night that M. Guizot left Paris at five o'clock for Lisieux. He stopped to dine at St. Germans, whence he was to proceed to his country seat (Val Rich, near Lisieux). He was, consequently, within five leagues of Paris when the express was sent for him, and came to town instantly. He was present at the examination of the prisoner, and returned to the Hotel of Foreign Affairs at midnight. On arriving there he appeared flushed, but otherwise as cool and tranquil as you have ever seen him. He was to leave Paris at one o'clock this morning. "The King, Queen, and Royal Family proceeded to Neuilly last night by the Rue Richelieu, Boule vard des Italiens, Rue St. Lazan, &c., for (as you will believe) all the streets bordering on the road to Neuilly (Champs Elysees), were choked up by the people. It was a detachment of attend ants, and not a portion of the Royal Family, that left for Eu last night. The King, Queen, and Royal Family proceeded thither this morning. " The intimation that the King had been fired at will have first reached the inhabitants of Paris (with perhaps 50 or 60 exceptions) this morning only, through the newspapers. The effect of it upon the public mind cannot yet be ascez tained, but the details will, I am convinced, be read with horror. The funds will, no doubt, decline ; but they will rally, and with good reason, for the account of this new attempt, so eminently calculated to show the necessity for a Conservative Government, will turn the scale at the elections, which will take place on Sunday next. FROM THE PAPERS. "The country," says the Journal des Debais— " Will not believe that such a crime could be again at tempted, and, nevertheless, such is the fact. " The King was fired upon this evening ! " The visible protection of Providence, which defies the pertinacity and fury of the assassins, has, for the seventh time, preserved an existence so dear and so precious to Fran ce. "Neither the King nor any of the persons who surrounded his Majesty were struck. " This intelligence will spread a deep consternation throughout the country; for our part, we can scarcely restrain our emotion and sorrow. " The following are the details we have been able to col lect respecting that inconceivable attempt : "This evening, at half-past seven o'clock, at the moment when the King, accompanied by the Queen and Royal Family, amidst the acclamations of the people, presented himself on the balcony of the Tuileries to . hear the concert two pistol-shots were fired upon his Majesty. " The King, with the admirable sang froid which never failed him under similar circumstances, reassured the Queen and the Princesses, presented himself to the people, to re move their apprehensions, and then gave orders to continue the concert. "The two pistol-shots had been fired by the same indi vidual. " The assassin was immediately apprehended by the per sons who stood near him. He offered no resistance. On being interrogated, he declared his name to be Joseph Henri.

By the steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt, we have just procured American papers to the 16th. They inform us of the arrival at Halifax of the Cambria, which sailed from Liverpool on the 4th of July. The news by this arrival is not of great importance. The Tariff Bill, in the adoption of which the British commercial and manufacturing community have a deep interest, has paascd the House, but is still under dis cussion in the Senate. It is thought by many well-in formed persons that this body will be equally divided upon the vote, and the ultimate decision will thus rest with Mr. Vice-President Dallas, in whose favour, al though from a strong Protective Tariff State and at tached to that policy by all his personal interests, its friends have little confidence. Mr. Webster had given notice of his intention to speak upon the subject; and it is said that he will intro duce certain important amendments, or au entire substi tute, fur the present Bill, which, it is thought, may re ceive the support of some of the democratic Senators. Of the character of these amendments nothing is yet pub licly known. We give. below in extenso the Tariff Bill now under debate. No movement of any importance has been made by the army of invasion, though active preparations are continued for an advance to Monterey, where it is thought the Mexican force will make a stand. Gen. Arista, as we learn from the important address of Paredes, has been ordered to the capital to be tried by court-martial for disobedience of orders in evacu ating Matamuras. Thu President state.; that he is about to take the field in person, and declares that the war will be prosecuted with the utmost possible vigour and efficiency. In addition to the regular army of invasion under General Taylor, which is to penetrate Mexico by way of Monterey, Brig. Gen. Kearney, has set forward, at the head of about 2500 men, for Santa Fe, where he intends to take possession of New Mexico, and a regiment of infantry has been raised in this city, to be mustered into the service of the United States early next week, for immediate transportation to Cali fornia, of which it is expected they will take and hold possession. Nothing has been done in Congress with regard to issuing Treasury notes, and the Independeut Treasury Bill is of necessity laid aside. A Warehousing Bill is under debate in the Senate, but its adoption, t,o say the least. is very doubtful. We give it below. The cotton crop is likely, so far as a judgment can be based upon the returns already received, to be deficient. Grain crops, though short in some sections, will yield at least an average. A New York paper, of the 16th, says, " The political country remains without change since our last remarks, by the steamer, of the Ist. The campaign against Mexico has made no perceptible progress, although pre parations for its vigorous prosecutions are constantly going on. An expedition in considerable force is destined for the Pacific—looking undoubtedly to permanent con quest on its shores. Meantime steam-vessels, and other vessels of light draught of water, are dispatched to the Rio Grande, in order to accompany the march of the army of General Taylor along its banks to Reynosa and Ca margo—the latter of which will, it is presumed, like the former, capitulate upon his approach. The good con duct and honest dealing of the invaders, who pay for all they get, and respect private property and private rights, contrasts favourably with the preceding rule, or rather want of rule, of the Mexicans in the country around the Rio Grande, and the maral influence of such a course may be as effective in extending our sway in countries over-run, as the vigour of our arms. Our last dates from Mexico are to the first week in June, at which time no change had occurred in the Government. The plan supposed to be favoured by Banta Anna for restoring the Constitution of 1824, modelled upon that, of the United States, which he was foremost in putting down, and for arousing the nation to resist all attempts to subject Mexico to the authority of monarchical institutions, which Paredes is by impli. cation assumed to favour—was carried out at Jalisco, and if this movement be followed elsewhere, it cannot fail to lead to the overthrow of the existing Govern ment, and the restoration of Santa Ana. The address of Paredes to Congress on the Ist of June, is a manly and frank statemynt of the difficulties in which the country is placed, and dues not savour at all of submission to the United States, The only demonstration on the gulf coast of Mexico, was an attack by the United States ship St. Mary's and her boats, on the Bth ult., on some gun-boats sheltered by the fort off Tampico, but owing to the shoal water, which facilitated the withdrawal of the gun. boats be yond the reach of tha ship, nothing was ell'ected. We have accounts from the army to the 13th ult. from Point Isabel. No new movements had taken place— the rains had commenced, and the country between Matamoros and the Point is already partially sub merged. The condition of commerce and of money affairs is stagnant—the first by reason of the Bill still pending in Congress fur the overthrow of the tariff of 1842—and which it is feared may become a law—the latter because of the unascertained and unascertainable costs of the Government, and of the uncertainty of the course it pro poses to pursue with regard to the Ways and Means. A Bill has indeed been reported in the House of Repre sentatives to authorise an issue of ten millions of Treasury notes, but nothing has since been done. FROM TExAs.—The steam-ship New York arrived at New Orleans on the 29th ult., from Galveston. The papers received by this arrival furnish little that is new or interesting. There is no news of importance from the army. It appears to be generally understood that the line of march, probably in the direction of Mon trey, will be taken up on the 10th July. THE LATE FIRE AT NEWFOUNDLAND. The House of Assembly have held a special session to concert measures for the relief of the sufferers by the destructive fire at St. John's, as well as to borrow a sum of money, not exceeding half a million, for rebuilding the town, in which Sir John Harvey has lent his hearty co-operation and assistance. It is estimated that two thousand houses have been destroyed, and that twelve thousand persons are ren dered houseless. The demand for provisions and build ing materials is officially, and purposely made known to be great. In a general military order, his Excellency Sir John Harvey does great credit to the military, and ascribes to their efforts the saving of the east end of the town. Many merchants burnt out saved a good proportion of their stoek. The Scotch houses are said to be the heaviest losers, as they were all in a cluster, and in the immediate vicinity of the oil vat which was de stroyed. The loss, it is said, will vary from 600,0001. to 1,000,000/. 2,000,0001. is Enid to be insured in the Phcenix-office, London. On the 13th July there wa3 a terrific fire at Nan tucket, which destroyed 180 buildings. KEY WEST, JUNE 30, 1846.—The brig Matamoras, Bruce, master, from New Yak fur Mobhe, passed through yesterday, by which we were furnished with a Jamaica paper, dated Kingston, June 5, conveying the following : " By the arrival of the Brigantine Telegraph, (Brit• ish), we learn that this vessel was boarded off Cape St. Antonio, by a Mexican privateer, her papers ex amined, &c. and after finding her to be a British vessel, left her.
