The Sun. — London, England, 1848-07-24 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, and white, the demands for all kinds of English Wheat was brisk, at an advance in the quotations of Monday last of from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at which II good clearance was effected prior to the close of busi ness. This improvement in value was the result of the prevailing changeable weather, and the numerous un favourable accounts which have come to hand this morn - bag respecting the potato disease. With Foreign Wheat, We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. Really fine qualities were in good request, and 3s per quarter dearer than last week. In the middling and inferior kinds, rather an extensive business was trans• acted, chiefly for inland consumption, at a rise of 2s per quarter. Bonded Wheats were held at a similar rise. There was a large supply of Foreign Barley on the market ; nevertheless the Barley trade was steady, and last week's prices were fairly supported. No English Barley on offer. The market was very scantily supplied with Malt. Fine Chevalier parcels produced full curren cies ; but all other kinds of Malt were neglected, ttith out being considered cheaper. The supply of Oats ex ceeding the wants of the dealers, the trade was in a sluggish state. Fine dry corn produced full prices, but the out-of•condition sorts were somewhat easier to purchase. In Beans, very few sales took place. Prices, however, ruled about stationary. There was a better sale for Peas, both English and Fo reign, at a rise in value of from 2s to 3s per quarter. Indian Corn, both on the spot and for arrival, was held at 3s per quarter more money; Indian Meal, 6d per barrel dearer. The Flour trade was firm, at extreme quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL EASURE.

At the northern outports, about 1,200 head of each kind of stock have been landed from Hol land and Germany, in fair average condition. The supply of foreign stock on sale to-day, Sheep and Calves in particular, was somewhat extensive, but its general quality was inferior. The primest Sheep and Calves moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise the • demand was in a sluggish state. There was a decided increase in the numbers of English-fed . Beasts on offer, at least a moiety of which was, however, beneath the middle quality. As the attendance of both town and country buyers was somewhat numerous, the very primest Scots were in fair, though not to say brisk in quiry, at, in most instances, Friday's advance in the • quotations of 2d per 81b. All other breeds moved Off slowly, and that day's currencies were with difficulty supported. At the close of the market a total clearance of the Beasts was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,000 Scots, Short-horns, &e. ; from the Northern counties, 400 Short-horns ; from the Western and Midland districts, 1,000 Herefords, Hunts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 300 horned and Polled Scots, 74 coming to hand per railway, the re . mainder by steamers. Even the. time of year considered, the'supply of Sheep was good, both as to number and quality. For all breeds, but more particularly for the best, old D owns , the sale was steady, at prices fully equal, to those paid on this day se'nnight. The highest figure for Mutton was ss. per 81bs. The sale for Lambs Was in a sluggish state, and the top price did not reach 5 1 6d per 81bs. We were very heavily supplied with Calves, yet a full average business was transacted in that description of stock, at our quotations. Pigs, the Supply of which was moderately good, moved off slowly, but we have no alteration to notice in value. Per Sibs. to sink the offal. 5. d. to v. d.' s. d. to s. d.

DOROUGU AND SPITAXXXELDS. Although the supplies of Potatoes are very large, the demand is somewhat active, at prices varying from 31158 to 515 s per ton. The imports in the past wee', consisted of about 400 tons, mostly from Holland. BOILOUGII 110 P MARKET. Next to nothing is doing in this market, and to effect sales lower rates must be submitted to.

The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, and the Bishop of Hereford. THE PRINCIPAL OF GLASGOW COLLEGE V. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The arguments in this appeal which was commenced on Thursday last were resumed to day. The case came before their Los dships upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The question raised by the appeal was, whether a charity founded by the will of John Snell, in the reign of King Charles the 11., ought now to be made more effectually conducive to the supply of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Scot land with clergymen born in Scotland, and educated partly at Glasgow College, and partly at Oxford, accord ing to the view of the founder's intention, taken by the information and the decree. John Snell, who was a native of Scotland, but who settled at Uffeton, in the county of Warwick, by his will, bearing data the 29th day of December, 1677, and republished on the 6th of August, 1679, gave the manor and lands of Uffeton, and all his freehold, and leasehold, and personal estates, subject to certain charges, to his executors, upon trust, which he prcceeded to declare in the following words :—" Upon trust that the profits and product thereof may be employed and disposed of for the maintenance and education, in some college or hall of the University of Oxford, to be ap pointed by the Vice-Chancellor, Provost, Master, and President, for the time being, or any three of them, in such proportions and with such allowances, and in such manner as they, or any three of them, shall think fit, such and so many scholars born and educated in Scotland, who shall each of them have spent three years in the College of Glasgow in that kingdom. And my further will and mind is, that every such scholar and scholars upon each of their admission to such college or ball as aforesaid, shall be bound and obliged by such se ourity as the said Vice Chancellor, Provost, Master, or President, for the time being, or any three of them, shall think fit, to some person or persons to be by them, or any three of thorn, hereunto appointed, that the said scholar or scholars shall respectively forfeit and pay to that college or hall, whereof or wherein he or they shall • be respectively admitted, the sum of 5001. a piece of lawful money of England, if he shall not enter into holy orders, and if he or they shall at any time after such his or their entering and admission take or accept of any spiritual promotion, benefice, or other preferment what soever within the kingdom of England or dominion of Wales, it being my will and desire that every such scho lar so to be admitted shall return into Scotland, and there be preferred and advanced as his or their capacity and parts shall deserve, but in no case to come back into England, nor to go into any other place, but only into the kingdom of Scotland for his or their preferment.' • The testator died in 1679, and on the 13th of Septem ber, 1679, his will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Nothing appears to be known about the Personal history of the testator, except that he was educated in Glasgow College, under the tuition of Sir James Dalrymple, afterwards Viscount Stair; and that, in 1661, he presented to the library of Glasgow College, a t• copy of " Walton's Polyglot Bible,' and accompanied 41 5 present with a complimentary letter to Dr. the then principal of the college. At the date of the will. and from that time till several years after the death of the testator, the Protestant Episcopal Church, with its ministry of bishops, priests, and deacons, canonically consecrated and ordained after the model of the Church of England, was established by law in Scotland, and the t,'o Established Churches of England and Scotland were then in full communion with each other, and were agreed aßoforrll important points of doctrine and discipline. After aatieu the Presbyterian Church was established by law in Scotland, under the successive forms of John Knox and Andrew Melville, from the year 1560 till 1610. The Presbyterians rejected, as belon4ing to Popery, all consecration of bishops, and all ordination by bishops of pr . ests or deacons. The name of " priest" they re jected altogether. The name of " deacon" they applied to lay officers having duties similar to those of church wardens in England. The name of ‘‘ bishop" was en tirely abolished by Knox , and having been restored under the Regent Mar, chiefly for temporal reasons (without any consecration or proper episcopal jurisdic tion, of the officers so named), it was successfully opposed by Melville, under whose discipline the Presby terian system in Scotland first assumed that decided attitude of resistance to every form of ecclesiastical prelacy which it has since maintained. The expression " holy orders" has never been known to the Scottish Presbyterian Church. The term " ordination" was not used by Knox, and was introduced by Melville and his followers only to signify the solemn institution of a pastor chosen by the people to a benefice or a parochial cure. In all these respects the Presbyterian Church, while established in Scotland, was fundamentally r.t variance with the Church of England ; and (besides many other important points of difference) the Presby terians also rejected the royal supremacy in matters and causes ecclesiastical. The Court below had held that the intention of the testator was to have young men educated according to the Episcopal system in England, and to secure their appointment to the Episcopalian ministries in Scotland, and that the trust fund must be administered on that principle. The appellants appealed against that decree. Mr. James Russell and Mr. Bolt were heard for the respondents on Thursday, and Mr. L. Wigram with whom was Mr. Roundell Palmer resumed his arguments whidh he commenced on Thurs day on the behalf of the respondent. The arguments had not concluded when our Afternoon Edition went to press. The cases of Farmer v. Farmer and Fulham v. M`Carthy, stood on their Lordships paper for judgment to-day, but up to the time of our going to press their Lordships had not given their judgment on either case. Should their Lordships pronounce their judgment to-day we shall give them in our Third Edition. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) David Nisbet and: John Burgess, two lads about 14 years of age, were placed before Mr. Bingham, the for mer charged with stealing several valuable diamond rings and pins, the property of his father, and the pri soner Burgess with having received a portion of the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. David George Nisbet, jeweller, 11, Castle-street, East, said the first-named prisoner was his son, and as sisted him in his business. About a week ago witness missed a valuable diamond ring and a gold pin set with amethysts. This circumstance led him to examine his stock, when he found that 24 rings and 13 pins had been abstracted from the jewel cases. His son having once be fore robbed him, caused him to suspect that he was the thief. He called him into the shop and then taxed him with the robbery. lie at once admitted being the thief, and said that be had given the property to a boy named Burgess, living close by. Witness then sent for a constable, who went with the prisoner to Burgess's house, and took the latter into custody. Police constable 151 E, said, on Saturday night he was called by the prosecutor to take his son into custody tor robbing him, On going into the shop the prisoner, without the least persuasion, made a full confession. He subsequently went with witness to Burgess's house, and called him out, when witness took him into custody. The boy Nisbet said he had taken the rings and pins, and gave them to Burgess. Burgess denied this assertion in Coto, and protested his innocence of the charge brought against him. Nisbet was remanded for a week, without bail, and Burgess for the same period, but admitted to bail. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) George Clark, a young man, was charged with having caused the death of a horse and seriously damaged a cab, the property of Mr. James Duke, cab-master, of the Curtain-road. William Doughty, cabman, said he was proceeding up the High-street, Iloxton, at about 10 o'clock on Saturday night, at a pace about six miles per hour, when he per ceived a horse and cart coming towards him at a dan gerous rate. Ho was on the proper side of the road, which is very wide, but in order to attempt to avoid a collision, he drove his horse into the gutter. The driver of the cart, however, had evidently lost all control over his horse, and the collision inevitably took place, the near side shaft of the cart entering the off side portion of the cab horse, which instantly fell dead. There were four persons in the cart at the time of the collision, three, however, made their escape. Mr. Inspector Pascoe said that the prisoner acknow ledged the accident to have been his own fault inasmuch as he had permitted another person to drive; he, how ever, added that he was very sorry for the occurrence. Mr. Duke said the horse was worth 101. or 121., he would, however, take 81.; and although the cab was so much damaged he would accept 11. for it, making 91. compensation for the loss he had sustained. Mr. Childs appeared for the defendant. Mr. HAMMII.I. animadverted upon the highly repre hensible practice of rapid driving in the public streets. He should adjudge the defendant to pay a penalty of 405., and 91. for the damage and loss the prosecutor had sustained. IRELAND. MORE PROCLAMATIONS. DUBLIN, JULY 22.—A Privy Council, at which the Lord-Lieutenant presided, was held this afternoon at the Castle. Proclamations were immediately afterwards issued, placing the county of Meath, the city of Kilkenny, and the remaining portions of the counties of Cork and ‘Vaterlord, not already proclaimed, under the operation of the Preservation of Life Act. The extension of the Act to the entire county of Cork has been in compliance with a etrong memorial to the Queen and the Lord-Lieutenant from the grand jury of that county. The following is a list of districts proclaimed:— County of Kilkenny, city of Kilkenny, county Meath; baronies of Decies scithin and without Drum, and Cosh more and Coshbrine, county Waterford; baronies of Kerricurrahy, Kinsale; Courcies, Kinalmealcy, Barretts (north and south), Barrymore, Kiwaltalloon, East Car berry and Ivane, and Barrtnore, county Cork. The announcement of the determination of Ministers to propose the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act has produced great confidence amongst the loyal and peace able portion of the population of this metropolis. It was high time that some such vigorous policy should be adopted, as we were almost in the jaws of a sanguinary insurrection. Every account from several of the southern counties shows that the disaffected are ripe for an out break, and the leaders appear right well disposed to give the order. The Nation and the Irish Felon made their appear ance to-day. In the morning some police were stationed outside the Felon office, but the newseenders came up in warnings ofe police. The sale of the t wo p a p ers to dayth . a body, and obtained their supplies, regardless of the has been enormous. Both the Nation and the Irish Felon exhibit, in every column, the insane ferocity and utter desperation of the rebel leaders. It is now openly avowed that the executive directory have determined to attempt an immediate in surrection, and the deluded people are called upon t o rise at once, and "strike the blow." The design of these madmen is to produce a sanguinary insurrection, in which they hope that the parties now amenable to justice may possibly escape the punishment of their crimes against society. The Action requires even "boys of fifteen to bear a hand in the national struggle." It is declared that " the casus WU" has arisen—that " the long-pending war with England has actually commenced." " We bade England," says C. G. D. (51r. Charles Gavan Duffy), writing from Newgate Prison, " choose speedily between concession and the sword. We formally proclaimed a war of independence. And now the time is come when that pledge must be promptly fulfilled, or as formally dishonoured." And if the people surrender their arms and desert the daring enterprise, G. C. D. will not regret his fate, " though the judge and the jury that await me ijow m w e elaTnhde come should do th e w ill o f England without consc i ence an d ill without article through thus d l u o d r es e : al? I dare net answer. I know she possesses passive courage without limit. There is a legion of men in the front of this battle who would not yield an inch before exile or death. The courage of endurance that makes as plenty as it ever was i n any nat i on. But martyrs is the and adventurous genius th a t begins a great undertaking daring —the fiery vehemence th a t d oes not stop to calculate, the penetrating far-reaching eagl e spirit in whom s pru or pru dence is instinct, but who, like B acon , count * upon au dacity as the surest element of success--these are so common. Ireland, in this terribl e crisis, may fall not all a victim to consciences whose sensibility is n ot healthy, but m orbid; and the greatest of all human afaictions may come of the amiable fear of doing wrong. grant God the people and their leaders that wisdom which has trust in the indomitable spirit and resources of a nation struggling for liberty; that wisdom which does not count upon the convenience of to-day, or the risk of an hour, but takes counsel for the permanent prosperity and ho nour of the country. " For myself I will say, that, if the people are robbed of their arms—if the clubs arc broken up—if all the organization and discipline won with such toil are flung away in • an hour—if the spirit of the country, so mira culously evoked, be again permitted to die out while the leaders of the people look oft in dumb submission—if these things can happen after the terrible lessons we have before us written in the blood and tears of the nation, 1, for one, will not curse the packed jury that sends me far from such a spectacle. With me war was not a natural or instinctive resource; I accepted it only as the last alternative, but I accepted it without reserva tion. I counted upon resisting at the first point where further delay would quench the ardour of the people. I knew well that there were limits to their patience — for they had been betrayed. Thst a certain point passed, thousands of brave men would fly trout the country in despair—that our self reliance would die out like a setting sun, It a single hour : that the obscene vermin who have grown fat on our misery would re-appear and a new reign of fraud begin, a thousand times more hope less than the first. If th a t h our i s at h an d, or if ever it shall come, may I not stand upon Irish soil to see it. The knell of our hopes is the saddest sound I can ever hear in • though ;judge and jury the that await me should do the will of England without conscience and without mercy. "C. G. D. " Newgate Prison." In another frenzied appeal, " The Hour of Destiny," the Nation says—" It is a d eath-struggle now between the murderer and hi, victim. strike l— s trik e ! . . • 116 T, then, men o f Ireland, since Providence will s it. Rise in your citi es an d your fields valleys, by your d ar k mountain p , a o s t your stesb by yhills,ou in your and lakes and ocean-w as h e d shores-65,0 as anat r rivers nation." In the Nation, also, Mr. T. D. M'Gee boasts that " the army of the League "—that League which the Freeman's Journal has so earnestly invited the Catholic clergy to join—" has obtained within the week a hundred thousand recruits." Mr. M'Gce rays—" We cannot now afford to sacrifice the clubs. They must be strengthened, increased, and extended;" and inasmuch as " Saint Ruth and Sarsfield led only two provinces against Marlborough and William," and " three or four counties'in '9B had nearly ended British dominion in this kingdom, ten or twelve are enough for the work still." Regarding the proclamations, the Nation says : " The proclamations are mere waste paper and wasted words. But they will be followed by acts, and for these the people must prepare. But are the people to come alone into contact with the usurping Government ? Where are the popular authorities ? What is the Lord Mryor of Dublin doing ? These are daily questions asked in every street. The Lord Mayor is doing nothing, and will do nothing. The people need not look to him,. except it be to precipatatt' him from office before his time, an • act of mercy' to the city cursed by his care, in which we wish them all speed and success." FURTHER ARRESTS. In all probability, before night sets in, Mr. Meagher, Mr. M'Gee, and two other prominent leaders of the Irish Confederation, will be in custody charged with " felony.' MEASURES UNDER THE PROCLAMATIONS. The police are already actively engaged seizing upon all arms found in the possession of unlicensed persons. Applications for liberty to have and carry arms are rigidly investigated. No clubbist need apply, while men of good character will meet with no difficulty in obtaining liberty to keep their weapons. The Freeman says— " The applications are in every instance made through the diviiional inspector of police, and by them, after having instituted the above inquiries, referred to the licensers, Mr. O'Farrell and Colonel Browne. We under stand that the Government have become tenants of the house at the rear of the Committee-rooms of the Irish League, which are situated between the Head Police office and the Lower Castle-yard." KILKENNY. (From the Moderator.) The Government, in the meantime, seems to have taken, for the nonce, a wise step in calling a general system of police surveillance to the clubs—such a healthy and well-regulated method of ascertaining the material of those bodies as will deprive them of much of their danger. A return is ordered from every police district of the clubs within its boundaries, particularising place and time of meeting, names of president and secretary, whether or not their proceedings are public, and the number and rank of its members. By this means it will be easily ascertained what is the strength, influence, and danger of eack,of those secret. societies, and which of them, should such measures afterwards become neces sary, may be indicted for conspiracy. It will also have the effect of preventing drilling, which has been going on in the club-rooms, and it is altogether satisfactory to know that steps are being taken, even though they may not be so decided as they ought, for counteracting the mischief of these societies. The Cloranel Chronicle reports as follows from Car rick-on-Suir "The police force in Carrick-on-Suir was on Wednes day augmented by the addition of fifty sub-constables, drawn from the reserves at the different stations through out the south riding. This will, with the military and the constabulary already stationed there, form a force more than sufficient for the preservation of order in the disturbed locality. Carrick- on-Suir has been a little more settled the last day or two, but. even here the people appear determined to have 'a stand-up fight, and ready to turn out at a moment's notice. A man was met yesterday (Thursday) walking deliberately into Carrick with a pike over his shoulder; and we are informed that within the last few days all the young ash trees near town have been cut down for the purpose of being made into pike handles." The same journal gives the following regarding Mr. Doheny:— "We hare been informed that informations were sworn at Waterford. on Wednesday last, against Mr. Dobeny, for delivering a seditious speech on Sunday, at the Slievnaman meeting. If this be so, and his arrest effected, he will be tried in Clonmel at the present as sizes." The Cork Examiner (Repeal paper):states that " On Wednesdy evening considerable excitement was caused in the city in consequence of the arrival of four pieces of cannon and one mo r t ar , t oget h er w i t h a l ot o f ammu nition, and a large body of artillery. Two or three troops of Lancers escorted the cannon to the barracks, and were loudly groaned on their way to the barracks and their return to Ballincollig, by a vast body of people, who were much excited because of the proclamations which were posted through the city, and which, by the way, were perfectly unint e lligible fifteen minutes after being posted, the populace having in nearly every in stance besmeared them with mud." A DEPOT OF FIRE-ARMS IN CARLOW. On yesterday (says the Carlow Sentinel) a large van arrived in this town, containing several hundred stand of arms, to he disposed of openly by sale in Dublin street and every fair and market. The owner has had a brisk and extensive sale in this county on a former occa sion, but at this moment the opening of a mart for the wholesale disposal of fire-arms is a circumstance that cannot fail to create apprehension in the public mind. We warn the Government of the consequences of per mitting the establishment of such depots in this county at the present crisis ; and we trust the local magistracy will, without a moment's delay, demand instructions from the Executive bow to act in this emergency. It' the. Government decline to interfere, then let it be respon sible for the result. When certain counties in Ireland are proclaimed all but in open rebellion, it would amount to a positive connivance at insurrection to allow the peasantry to arm themselves at these depots with pikes and rifles. NENA G 11. (From the Guardian.) Rumour is already busy in this neighbourhood. We have learned that upwards of 6,000 club men, of course armed, are to march inio Nenagh on the 2d of August, to watch the trial of ➢lr. Doheny, for the purpose, we presume, of intimidating the jurors, or, it' not success ful in so doing, to break open the county gaol, if he be found guilty. This would be sheer madness, inasmuch as the military force in our town, although small in comparison with such numbers, would be sufficient (although not txceeding 400 men) to drive them into the Shannon. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary that the Government should be forced to act promptly, and coerced into the suppression of these clubs, for the orderly and peaceably should not be left to such a con tingency as the mercy of an armed band of lawless butchering rebels. " TO THE PEOPLE OF WATERFORD. "Fellow Citizens—The English Government havo this day issued a proclamation declaring you disqualified to bear arms —declaring, therefore, that you have forfeited the first privilege of free citizens. This is another act of despotism—threatening the liberties of the country— testing the patience and the heroism of the people. It is done to surprise --to alarm—to intimidate. It shall not do so. It has come too late. You know your duties well, and you will have the virtue to fulfil them. In Limerick, in Carrick, in Tipparary, the Arms Act has been in force for many months —and in those districts it has neither dismayed the spi rit nor checked the organization of the people. Imitate the example of these gallant men. Be firm, be steady— organiztl calmly, speedily, and fearlessly. The men in w h o m you now confide, and to whose ability and courage you look for guidance and success, will not fail to give you that advice which the perils of the day demand.

I have just returned from an inspection of several farms, and the sight I witnessed was most distressing. Last Wed nesday there was not a sign of failure. Yesterday, the stalks were drdniping, as if from the rain—to - day, all is rottenness. The ash-leaf kidney, which escaped so well on former occasions, appears now worse than any other. Great alarm prevails among the poor farmers who have planted large quantities of potatoes. From Kerry, Mayo, Cork, Waterford, and tho Mid land Counties, the reports are. equally distressing. 'I he northern counties do not complain much, but enough appears to warrant the apprehension that the disease has commenced in the province of Ulster. DEATH OF LORD GUILLAMORE.

Although all laymen regard the League as nothing more nor less than the Irish Confederation under a new name, Dr. Maginn and his 90 priests have resolved, among other opinions, the following:— " 1. Having maturely considered the proposed terms for a reunion of all sections of Repealers, to be hence forth called Tho Irish League,' it affords us the sin cerest gratification to find that they are such as we can, without any dereliction of our peace principles, conscien tiously approve; and, notwithstanding what has been said to the contrary, we have full confidence in the honesty of purpose and patriotism of the parties to these terms of reunion —that both their letter and spirit will be undeviatingly adhered to in the League, so as to work out Ireland's legislative independence by the concentra tion of public opinion, and means purely legitimate and Christian."

In consequence of information to the effect that 8,000 men ; sympathisers with the Irish Repealers, were armed in Liverpool, waiting for the opportunity of a rising in Ireland, to burn and destroy all they could, the Mayor, Magistrates, Aldermen, and Councillors of the sixteen wards issued circulars, of which the following is a copy, to all the respectable and peaceable inhabitants : " Liverpool, July 22, 1848. " Sir,—We earnestly beg of you to attend a meeting of some of the inhabitants of this ward this day at the Adelphi Hotel, at half-past seven o'clock precisely. " Considerations of no ordinary importance oblige us to urge your attendance, which, be assured, we should not venture to do so strongly, were it not a matter of imperati ve necess i ty, a necess i ty t h e magis trates are now acting upon, and which they expect us and you to aid them in preparing for." In obedience to the wish conveyed in the circular, meetings of a most satisfactory character took place, and every possible preparation was made for any emergency which might arise. A large number of troops have arrived in Liverpool, and were to be seen in every direction on Saturday. AMERICAN NEWS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 5, A.M. The Cambrian has arrived. She left Boston on the 12th, Halifax on the 14th, and brings 48 passengers, but no specie. The Caledonia reached New York on the 9th, and the Niagara Boston on the 12th. The domestic news is of little interest. The official proclamation of peace with Mexico has been issued. The President's message states the whole United States debt at 65,000,000 dollars. Congress is still in session; the exclusion of slavery from Oregon appears to be the chief topic of debate. The Presidential canvass engages great attention. The dates from Mexico are to the 22d of June. Parades has seised the city of Guanajuato, and headed a rebellion under the plea of hostility to the threats. There are strong symptoms of revolution in Mexico. President Herrera has issued a proclamation in favour of order. Yucatan is still the scene of civil war; the Indians are gaining ground. NEW YORK.

The Levant Stakes will bring toge th e r a moderate field, c ons i st i ng of Glenal von , Solon, Czarina, Glauca , Highland Fli ng , Wet-nurse, and Uriel; the latter and Solon, though dark, have in private satisfied their owners, consequently I expect to see them run in thus:— Uriel, by Touchstone •.• ••• (Butler) 1 Solon, by Touchstone ••• • ••• (Marlow) 2 Glenalvon, by Coronation ••• ••• (Day) 3 Glauca, by Cotherstono ••• ••• ..

For the Gratwielie Stakes, Corsican, Surplice ,Wiasma, Swordplayer, Dough, Archery, Hornpipe, Leadstone, and Distiflina, include ail that are likely to show; Scott has three— Corsican, ‘Viasma, and Archery, two of which will run. Kent has three likewise—Surplice, Hornpipe, and Load stone, but the latter is not expected to start, being re served for the Drawing Room Stakes. Surplice, of course, will win with four to one betted on him ; Scott's horse will be second, with Hornpipe and Distaflina well up. The Ham Stakes will have most of the following as runners:—Honeycomb, Pyrland, Osterley, Fleece, Bclus or Solon, Canada filly, Rochester. Semitranc, Fury colt, Vanguard, colt by lon, filly by Venison, and Mirror; of the above Pyrland, Solon, Semitrane, and Wild Blued (the Fury colt), are on the dubious list. Honeycomb in his present form is the best of the Goodwood lot (to my eye the winner), and Mirror is a magnificent mare; these two with the colt by lon, and Sernimine, it he starts, will have the rest of the field safe. The Drawing Room Stakes, I presume, will come oil thus:— SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—We never knew a more timely concurrence than that which is presented by the ete2rgetic oceed lugs of the House of Commons on Saturday and the budget of treason arrived from Ireland last night. As far as concerns that appeal to the public which our legiss• lators are usually supposed to make through the medium of the reporters' ealiery, they might on this occasion have done all in dumb show, and left their justification to the Irish columns of the Monday's papers. The case against the traitors was, indeed, so strong that Lord John Russell took only a few specimens from an abun dance of public materials, and no more though t of stating all that could easily have been adduced than a geologist would think of bringing away in his pocket the whole of a remarkable 'stratum. But the facts on which the House of Commons acted on Saturday are quite thrown into the shade by the manifestoes since arrived. The authors of these documents are positively screaming treason against the British Crown. They are bawling and bellowing rebellion as if they would not only drive every Irishman to the act, but were equally anxious that every loyal Englishman should understand them in the strongest possible eense. Not only is it utterly im possible to put any weaker construction on these rabid harangues, but it is equally contrary to the wish of the authors. We should both astonish and offend them if we attempted to make out that they meant lesS than rebellion. There are necessities which are great but most painful. It was a sad solemnity which the House of Commons had to perform on Saturday morning. On a notice, given only a few hours before, the House met at an unusual time, beard a Minister read an indict ment against a numerous party, thereupot suspended the usual forms of deliberation, :and at one sitting passed through all its stages a Bill suspending from their constitutional privileges eight millions of men. There was au overpowering unanimity. Four leaders of party, the Minister, Sir Robert Peel, . Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Hume, answered for important sections of the House, and whether in the genial eloquence of the Conservative Chief, or the cold caution of the Reformer, expressed their consent to the measure. The House acted at once and as one. A deep conviction di rected its course, and a great indignation spurred it on. That conviction was as true as it was deep. That indig nation was noble. We have said that all the leaders of party voted and spoke for the measure. But it received an affecting testimony, far stronger than any which party could offer. Sir Lucius O'Brien, the unhappy brother of the rebel Smith O'Brien, voted for the Bill, and explained his vote on the soundest and most brotherly calculation of consequences. Of course, those who are at large will be immediately arrested and de tained; and those who, by some strange mismanage ment, have been allowed to propagate their treason through the gates of one of her Majesty's prisons, will not soon depart from that abode. Now, it is evident that under all contingencies this is a very good game for a tr aittohre. very I safest, thereshould be an Irish r e b e lli on forth with,easiest, and most honourable place for a rebel in the whole world will be Newgate or Spike Island. It' the rebellion should succeed—which, how ever, we hold to be an impossible event—his comrades, who have borne the burden and heat of the day and have been decimated in war, will open the doors of his cell and elect him to the Provisional Government. If, on the other hand, th e re b ell i on does not succeed,. and half a dozen rebel armies, officers and all are annihilated in the attempt, the incarcerated chiefs will be able to repeat those celebrated lines of the Roman poet, describing the pleasure of ono who stands on the shore and witnesses a vessel labouring in the storm. They will be heroes and martyrs without any further trouble, danger, or pain. We must say that we have never yet discerned the smallest spark of patriotism, generosity, or truth, or anything in fact but the basest selfishness, in these agi tAtors. There is not one hottest feeling which they have not outraged over and over again in their career. For example, they have not only done no justice to the gi gantic self-sacrifices of England for Irish relief, but they have uniformly denied them, and published to the extre mities of the earth that England had deliberately with held all assistance, and had purposely destroyed millions by famine. With the tremendous example of France before their eyes, they are seeking to plunge their coun try into a state to which all the revolutions, civil wars, anarehies, famines, pestilences, and other disasters the world has ever witnessed, would furnish no parallel or approach. We should not be just to our own sense if from a mistaken courtesy we ascribed any good to these men. They have considered themselves alone in the matter, and are simply endeavouring to rise on the ruin of both countries. G 'endow( r Loadstone ... (Nat) 1 CanezoU .

Saturday, July 22. CHRONICLE.—The British Parliament bas been placed on its trial, and has nobly sustained its character. We confess to having looked with some anxiety for the result. There is in the English mind such a real and inveterate jealousy of arbitrary power, and there is, moreover, so strong a temptation (for vulgar minds) to acquire a pot• house reputation by the noisy factiousness which assumes the semblance of that jealousy—that we were not without fears lest Lord John Russell's Bill for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act might meet with a mischievous and discreditable opposition. We rejoice to say that such was not the case. Not only did the House at once, and almost unanimously, pass the Bill. but there was hardly a sign of base compromise be tween the wish for its success and the fear of appearing to scontribute towards it. To use Sir Robert Peel's words, there were felt to be two parties in presence, the Sovereign of Great Britain and the conspirators against her Throne; and the House of Commons took its part on the side of the Sovereign. There was some talk, indeed, about the necessity of " remedial measures going hand in hand with coercion," which is about as reasonable as to propose, in the presence of an armed and furious madman, that a course of physic and diet should " go hand in hand" with depriving him of his knife and putting a strait-waistcoat upon him. But as that view of the subject was very speedily dropped, when it ap peared that the House was thoroughly in earnest, and not in a humour to tolerate cant, we do not think it worth noticing at any length. When a populace is brought to such a frame of mind as to believe that, in the words of their orators, the land is to be given up to them for a prey, " from the sun to the centre," any " re • medial measures" of ours would only be cast back in our teeth. A posture of stern repression is the only one which they can appreciate. Lord John Russell's speech was in his very best manner—simple, manly, and straightforward. We are happy to give our un qualified approbation to the course pursued by Minis ters throughout the whole of this business, and are not prepared to dispute even the time which they have selected to bring forward their measure. There is, no doubt, a chance that the policy now adopted towards Ireland may be found to have come too late to prevent bloodshed ; and that the Irish populace, excited and in. furiated as they now are, will not allow their leaders to be taken from them without a struggle, and if so there will not be wanting p:ausibility, and even weight, in the assertion that Ministers ought to have struck their blow earlier. But, in the first place, we are not quite sure that such an insane and hopeless outbreak might not tend, more than anything else, to the permanent estab lishment of tranquillity ; end, secondly, we see very great force in Lord John Russell's argument, that it is of the highest importance to carry along with him, in a measure of this sort, a full concurrence, on the part of the House and the country, in the conviction of its necessity. We believe, with him, that the danger of immediate insurrection has developed itself daring the last few weeks in an unprecedented manner, and we feel that at an earlier stage of the " club movement" there would have been a very powerful and mischievous re sistance to the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, while any less decisive measure would have done more harm than good. We farther approve of the direction in which Government have resolved to act—that is, in the form of their coercive policy. When all the world was urging them to " put down the clubs," we falt, as Lord John tells us he felt, that a mere enactment defining and prohibiting that particular kind of orga nisation, would necessarily be ineffectual and nugatory so long as the law remained in other respects the same. When the Bill now in progress shall have passed, indeed, it may be followed up and supported, if necessary, by some measure aimed at seditious clubs, and its operation will also be assisted by that of the Arms Act, under which the Lord-Lieutenant is now proceeding; but we are inclined to think that, putting aside tho contingency of an immediate outbreak, this Bill will be alone sufficient fOr its purpose, if firmly and ably administered. At any rate, it will bring the matter to a crisis, which is an object of the greatest importance, at a time selected by us, and not by w. h t. rebels. There can be no paltering or fe ncin g, ec such powers as those with which either fight now, or lose their lastdi sarchanceme of d and un the Executive is now about to be armed.

In the present ease the bakers profess they are quite willing to sell their bread by weight, but that an eusctnieut wt.ich demands that loaves after baking shall be of a certain precise weight and no other, is what neither baker nor man can execute. There is a prodigious disposition in society for everybody to plague everybody by nun, through the instrumentality of law; the natural tendency of which is, for every body to be plagued in tutu. Bakers are un popular, in all barbarous countries; but the law ought out to aid in directing popular malignity.

On Friday, more Sugar. But in the course of the evening the Government stated its intention of bringing in a Bill to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland till 1 :,larch 1849 ; for which purpose the House is to meet tomorrow. On Saturday the House met at noon. Lord John Russell moved the First Reading of a Bill to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland 6111 March 1849. The Member fur Nottingham (F. O'Connor) spoke in reply. The Member for Rochdale (Sherinae Crawford) moved an amendment to the effect that remedial measures should be substituted. After speeches from a con siderable number of members, the First Reading was carried by 271 against 8. The Second and Third Read ings were subsequently made without a division, and the Rill passed. 'ine state of things seems to be this. Ireland is avowed to be within three weeks of civil war. Circumstances connected with the progress of the potato crop prevent the rising from taking place sooner. The Government therefore has three weeks start. The question is not a civil but a military one ; or at all events, though in the halide of the civil power at present, it is military in its bearings. It is a sad thing when men will tight, But when they insist on it, and particularly when they insist on fighting an established Government, those that take the sword must take the chance of falling by the sword. Fifty years ago there may have been a state of things, which if it were present now, might induce many iu England to look with some thing like neutrality upon the coming contest. But no such state exists at present. To hear the language used in Ireland, it might he supposed that savage men called Saxons were stalking through the country, cooking little children for their dinners, and carrying off Irish maidens to their Castle 01 Dublin. Instead of which, they are giving their millions for the ralicf of Irish destitution brought on by the failure of crops, and the great majority of them are working in parliament and out of parliament, to do everything that may remove the memory of past discontents, as fast as the obstacles which exist to Irish improvement and their own, can bit-by-bit be overcome. To this may perhaps be replied, that the Irish have a right to break off the connexion with England if they like. 'This is not so clear; unless it can be demonstrated to general satisfaction, that either the Irish, or English, or both would bo the better for it. And of this there i no shadow of showing, on any one of the three head concerned. We have parliamentary government, a long way it may be from beinc , perfect, yet so go o d as w i t h heaven ' s grace shall' enable us to obtain all we can justly want. Unchr such circumstances, men must be mad, or under the weaker form of mental malady, who insist on entering on a civil war. None could think of it, unless unfortunate persons under suffering which in part relieves them from responsibility, or men calculating on rising in importance in a parliament in Dublin, in proportion to the differ ence between Ireland and the United Empire. But when men insist on a needless civil war, the first thing to be wished is that it may be a short one. And of all ways to make it short, none is more likely to be effective than laying hold of the leaders if it can be done. The moment it is settled and clear that men mean to appeal to force,: force becomes the rule, and can never be applied better than for prevention. Neither need there be any greater squeamishness about an enemy's press. Napoleon in Italy talked of the urine des proclamations ; and he was right. As sown as lighting is begun, speaking or writing in support of it is as much a warlike act as sounding a trumpet. A trumpeter, in the construction of the Mutiny Act, is a soldier with a trumpet; and the man who on a day of battle sounds the charge through • the press, is us lair an object of hostility as any that can blow through brass. The Government have wisely not hampered their present demand with the consideration or other mea sures. But it is plain that unless the war should go out of itself, more must come. Among these, ono which there is not much dilricuity in perceiving, is that you of the manufacturing districts of England mast look out for yourselves, in the way of guarding against demon strations which in the natural course of things the Irish leaders will ende,,vour to get up in Jour neighbourhoods, to prevent troops being despatched to Ireland. As it is not stated that the Irish insurrectionists moan to fight with sticks, it is a direct conclusion that your Special Constables will be obliged to show themselves under a more active form. As one accustomed to look at this kind of things, I cannot but think on the responsibilities arising out of the three weeks start, and how much might be done in that interval, which should have the effect of preventing mischief, a thing, as your surgeons Will tee tify, vastly easier than cure. I have myself no charge; except perhaps a little as may relate to you. My advice to you therefore is, it things grow worse as they are pretty sure to du, do nut resist a proposal to take your share with the rest of the country, in turning out at short notice forty thousand Civil Guard,, to keep things quiet in the absence of the regulars. The rough apportionment of such a fore© would be, ten thousand for the Metropolitan Districts and south, ten between that and the Trent, ten more to the Tweed, and ten for Scotland. It would be one in five hundred of the whole population; but the places more immo diately concerned should reckon on raising the double,_ to make up fur th ose w h ere from thinness of population the plan might be inapplicable. As it is not intended to move from one part of the country to the other, this requires the number to be increased; but the number stated would make disposable the whole of the regular force, and give a high probability of preventing disturbance in England. There is no force so cheap, as that which never comes to action. Above all things, we that intend to have a competent measure of Reform, but by other means than insurrection, must not lie under the imputa tion of leaning towards the madcap plan which i sto mend the empire by establi s hing Communism in Ireland. The model for such a force is au embodyment in the year 1797 for a very similar purpose, Bale: to preserve the peace of the country in the event of' what were called the Volunteers being a pay yay and to meet found coat with black velvet collar and gilt buttons with inv tl a i s e i i ° r ll. own rhi c s io b th od in y g, not) and loons (frock-coats and trousers then were e bindered or without a letter, blue waistcoat and pants; plain round bat.

One never grows tired of the amusement, for it is at all seasons ever changing, ever new ; and the shrubs, flowers, parterres, and other agremens, exclusive of the fine collection of animals, form in themselves, a sufficient inducement for a frequent visit. The " promenades" of the season have been well attended, and that of Saturday wus, perhaps, more brilliant and num erous i n i ts company t h an an y o f those previously held.
