THE COMMITTEE 'of 'UNITED: RE FORMERS of the BOROUGH of MARYLEBONE congratulate the Liberal Electors on the entire cessation of that disunion which threateced again to place in the bands of the Tories a partial representation of the Borough. The Committee cannot refrain front expressing" their thanks to 111r.* G. A. Young for the honourable manner in which he withdrew from the contest and enrolled his name amongst the supporters of Sir Benjamin Hall and Sir Charles Napier. The Committee call upon those zealous Reformers who attended the Ballot at the Colosseum, to use their individual exertions in carrying out the object of that meeting. Let each Elector . feel the responsibility that attaches to his position, and let us all come forward with one voice, and secure the return of our tried and respected Representative Sir Benjamin Hall, and the Gallant Commodore Sir Charles Napier.

TO THE REORMERS OF MARYLEBONE, GENTLEMEN, Beg to return my sincere thanks for your kind -3- ness in placing me at the head of the Ballot last evening. The very honourable retirement of Mr. Young in con ,,quence has put an end to our divisions. I have now a fair ~:and-up fight with the Tories, in conjunction With your ex cellent.representative Sir Benjamin - Hall, and I have only to make Lord Nelson's last signal—" Matlyebone expects' every man to do his duty." _ _ . I beg to repeat to you my political opinions. I shall support the proposition of the Government for cheapening bread and abolishing monopolies. I am an advocate for the Ballot, for the Extension of the Suffrage, for shortening the duration ofTarliaments, for doing away the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Act, and for abolishing the Church-rates. I am an enemy to the impressment of seamen, and desire to amelioration of their condition, which must lead to the abo liLion of corporal punishment.. I wish to see the aged and the infirm poor receive out-door rrlief, and those who are compelled to take refuge in the Unions, to be treated in the game manner as the pensioners of Green wich and Chelsea Hospitals now are. The Unions should be considered as Clubs established for the benefit of the poor, .ind not as prisons for their punishment. I sha'l strictly watch over the interests of your borough, and endeavour to :reserve the privileges you enjoy under jour Local Acts.

I,)rd DENMAN spoke at some length in its favour, but sugge ted that before the clause was paSsed, Lord ABIN GEn and himself should have an opportunity of conferring vcitlt-th.

Their Lords:lips aijol:ripd 4-,t Eight o'Clock. The House of Commons sat only for a short time, and did no business of impirtance. A number of pe titions w,re_preseuted, and. Mr. WODEI-101:8E moved for a. number of returns, with a, ,view of showing the rela tive condition of our population and the population of other .cdtintries. These documents are intended to be the haiekbriagis' tbei2re to supply, -we believe, ti efene.l s ..4 el surposi th a. t - f ,- ); as tv V PP .' - "other • - .nations; would reduce our people es we have long had a flourishing trade with Africa and the. West Indies, a people ought to be degraded to the level of the Africans and the slaves. Strpnge ,times .bring. forth strange doctrines, and some a the most strange are the doctrines that the condition of our people will be de teriorated if they trade freely ,with Poland. But if bringing in cheap corn from that country, would make our people serfs, will not bringing in the American corn make them republican and independent men? In fact, the Corn-law men, driven from every post they have occupied„ are now seeking to mystify the whole matter by multitudinous accounts from abroad, which have no more relation to our Corn-law than they have to feeding the animals that were saved in NOAH'S Ark. How the Tories can entertain such arguments we cannot compre hend, for they in general maintain that our institutions, and especially our Church, more especially our glorious system of country gentlemen, are the causes of the superiority of the presumed condition of our people. They do their own theory a grievous wrong' when they suppose that to trade freely with Russia would reduce our people to the condition of the Russian serfs. The House rose before Six. We hear from various quarters that much •zold has been prepared on both sides, and that the elections will be decided b Whig gold and Tory gold. At any time, and on whatever prin ciple an election may take place, such a circum stance is a disgrace to the country but at pre sent, when a most important principle is at issue, it is so flagrant a disgrace, that it requires strong evidence to make us believe it. - Amidst the tumult of passion which is already excited, we can scarcely expect to be heard, but, being sensibly alive to the honour of the country, it is at least our duty to ripple the current by our re sistance, if we dare not hope to turn it. On ordinary occasions, such as whether the Whigs or the Tories shall carry an India Bill, whether the Catholics shall, or shall not, be emancipated, whether Mr. PITT or Mr. Fox shall be Prime Minister, for the electors to ac cept bribes is . dishonourable enough ; but now, when the queStion is whether the bread-tax shall be maintained or abolished, and whether mono poly shall be destroyed or preserved, whether industry shall be set free and obtain its natural reward, or shall remain pinioned and plundered at the will of the idle, for the electors to accept bribes is like taking slow poison in order to de stroy- strength and life. We assume that most of the electors on whom bribery is to be attempted belong to the labouring classes. Others may be bribed by the expectation of .places, or some similar improper consideration, but the bulk of thoge to whom money will be offered arc poor, and they are chiefly the subject of our re marks. • Whatever may be .the immediate plan of Mi nisters, the contest which-rages in the country, and which the electors will really have to de cide, is whether or not the bread tax shall be abolished. That tax extracts a large sum from every individual, in proportion to his own con. sumption, and the number of persons dependent on him. The Anti-Bread-tax circular says,— " The bread and provision taxes take from every man, woman, and child, two pounds a head every year. If the poor ;voter have a wife and three children, these taxes cost him ten pounds a year; which, in six years, the probable time for which he elects his representative, will amount to sixty pounds—sixty pounds, then, would be the value of his vote, if it were his to sell." Can any sum of money a candidate is likely to give an elector really compensate him for the money the bread tax will take out of his pocket? Suppose he gets two guineas, or four guineas, or ten guineas, it is looked on as a windfall, and is generally spent as it is got, in the midst of riot and drunkenness. It leads the elector into bad habits, and he would be better without it, though it were not in fact a small portion of his own honest earnings first extorted from him, and afterwards returned to him to bribe him into quiet submission to con tinued extortion. But this is not all. In the majority of cases, the Corn-law deprives a large portion of the in habitants of towns annually of a considerable quantity of profitable employment. In addition therefore, to the money which the Corn-tax takes out of the elector's pocket, it will subject him to great loss from want of employment. On a mere calculation, then, of profit or loss, without considering any higher motives, all the labouring classes who vote for a bread-taxer, whether they live iu Hull, or Liverpool, or Nottingham, give away a valuable right for a most insufficient con sideration. The labourer, however, who sells his vote, in flicts a double injury on all his class. He not only dooms his fellows, many of whom have no votes, to poverty, scarcity, and want of employment, but he inflicts a moral degradation on them. They are now claimants for an enlargement of the suffrage, and one of the pretexts for refusing to comply with their claim is their accessibility to bribery. At a meeting of the electors for the Tower Hamlets, no longer ago than Tuesday, the following scene is reported to have occurred:— An Elector—What about the extension of the suffrage? Col. Fox—lf education was more generally diffused among the people, and the electors all over the country were as prepared by their knowledge and intelligence to receive the franchise as those of the metropolitan boroughs, he would have no objection whatever to the fullest extension of the suffrage.—(Loud cries of " Oh, oh," and considerable disapprobation.) He (Colonel Fox) would fearlessly state that there were many persons possessed of the suffrage at present who should not hare it, as they had no idea of exercising it beyond that of the money they could make by it; and of this fact he (Colonel Fox) had had recently a pretty sample.— (Cheers and disapprobation.) There is the proof then that the bribery to which the electors submit is made the pretext— most unwarrantably and unjustly—for continu ing the disfranchisement of the working classes. It is plain from this circumstance, as well as from the influence which the votes of the electors may have over the pockets of the non-electors, that the latter are deeply interested in the honesty and independence of the electors. They may be unable to prevent an elector from taking a bribe any more than a police can prevent crime, but they may be able to punish him. If he know beforehand that they will punish him, that may prevent him accepting a bribe. Let the non -electors, then, closely watch the electors, and when they have reason to believe that any of them have accepted bribes, let them stigma tize such electors as contemptible, worthless wretches, the betrayers of their trust, and the enemies of the industrious, unenfranchised classes. The ' electors are not independent of th e good opinion of the non-electors, and that which is of great value at any time may soon be almost inestimable. He who forfeits it fur the paltry consideration of a few shillings or a few pounds, makes a very bad bargain. The knowing electors who take bribes may fancy themselves to be very shrewd, but in fact they are . completely overreached, and. outwitted, in the transaction. It is the duty of all ministers of the Gospel and of all the influential persons in all the bo roughs where bribery is likely to be committed, to enforce on the electors the higher considera tions of morality and religion which should now guide their conduct. We notice only its palpable worldly injuriousness to themselves and their neighbours. We cannot, however, blame the humbler class of electors, without saying that the influential class are in many cases much to blame for allowing the two sections of the aristocracy to dispose of the representation, or to fight for it as if it were a prize for them, and the electors had no other interest in the matter than merely to be honoured by selecting a Whig or a Tory. When the humble class of electors sce boroughs disposed of, as it were by wholesale, it is not surprising that they should think of making; what they can of their single votes. Th e upper classes, who are in all cases the bribers, and in many sell the whole borough, are un doubtedly more to be blamed than the humble electors, but the iniquity of the former is no jus tification of the lesser iniquity of the latter. The working classes make very lofty, we •do not say unjust pretensions, and now they have an .excel, lent opportunity, whether they be electors or non-electors, by subjecting bribery to moral ex communication, of proving ,their superiority to the classes who sell and buy boroughs,. and seek Jo !:-7'II.AJ ;I!i { - - . . . We inserted yesterday an admirable letter, written by Dr, WRATELEY, the Archbiohop of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1 ►4l. Dublin, on the law of marriage. The general • principles, however, laid down in it are so com prehensive that they apply equally to corn and marriage—to subsistence, and the regulation of the nuptial [contract; and we appeal, on the 'former subject, to his great authority. • He begins by saying, that " I take my stand on the broad general princiPle; THAT EVERY RE STRICTION IS AN EVIL 7N ITSELF," and "the bur den of proof lies upon the advocates of every restriction to show its necessity." The Corn laws at a terrible restriction; they prohibit men from buying food when and where they like, and bringing it home. They are a 'Testriction on public liberty, and no man has shown a necessity for the restriction. On the contrary, the whole of the arguments urged in favour of the Corn-laws resolve themselves into some fictitious calculations as to the cost of pro ducing corn in different countries—we do not say its price, for that is the effect of the law— • and into the unfounded fancy that. the farmers and the labourers would cease to cultivate the soil if they had less•rent and tithes, or no rent and tithes at all, to pay. Necessity for the re striction ! • Why, the whole course of nature cries out against •it. Necessity is that from which there is no escape; and instead of society being unable to escape from this evil restriction, it can only be maintained by great coercion, and by causing grievous destruction. • The Archbishop goes on to.say, and we are fond of supporting our opinions by such a high authority— What may be called a meddling system of Govern ment amounts practically to a most intolerable tyranny. If the Legislature of a country consisted of the most dis interested and public-spirited men, but who should think it their duty to coMpel by law every individual to do everything that might seem to them best, and to prohibit every one from taking any step. which they might not think advisable, it would be found, I believe, that even time government of selfish oppressors would be preferred to this. • Our Legislature is, however, far from consist ing of the most disinterested and public-spirited men, and yet they undoubtedly think it their duty to compel by law every individual to do in this matter of buying corn what seems best to them, and they prohibit him from taking that step, namely, buying corn in Poland, Russia, and America, which they think not desirable. Dr. WHATELEY thinks a Government of selfish oppressors preferable to such a meddling Go vernment; and what must the public think of a Legislature composed of selfish oppressors, who so meddle with the subsistence of society, for the very purpose of putting pelf into their own pockets ? The restriction, which is an evil, they enact from no other necessity than their arrogant self-will, and to gratify their rapacity. Public advantage, either present or distant, either di rect or contingent, the law has none; it is in tended to keep up prices, and keep up rent, and the public good is sacrified by a meddling Go vernment of selfish oppressors. The Morning Post of Tuesday found out a new characteristic of the Corn-laws. Our Contempo rary denied that they were a tax, and, we presume, meant to deny that they impose a tax, andasserted that they may be looked on as a 4 c stimulant to production, and this we believe them to be so long as the balance (of protection) is rightly adjusted." To adjust this balance rightly the Legislature must estimate to a nicety all the varying bur dens which agriculture here and abroad, and which manufactures and other employments titan agriculture, have to sustain; it must watch over increasing skill and knowledge here and abroad, and adjust the balance as new methods of husbandry are discovered or new soils are brought into cultivation. To fulfil this duty, then, the Legislature must, in the strict sense of the word, be a meddling system of Government, and must let no year pass without an elaborate investiga tion into the circumstances we have alluded to, and without altering or modifying the nicely ba lanced system of protection. The consequence of the principle is a palpable absurdity, and no Legislature, however disinterested and public , spirited the men who compose it, and however gigantic their powers, could rightly adjust for a single week the balance of protection amongst the varied and contending interests of several countries. The only way to adjust the matter is to leave it, unmeddled with, to what Dr. SMITH called the higgling of the market. The Corn-law, it is said, is a stimulant to pro duction. How ? It is a settled axiom in po litical economy that a Legislature can only in fluence production by altering the distribution of wealth. This is done by the Corn-law. The natural and necessary price of wheat in the market would be considerably below what it is but for the law which is passed to keep up the price. The corn-grower receives a higher price from the consumer than he otherwise would for his corn, or the law takes away the property of the consumer, and gives it in the first instance to the corn-grower, out of whom it is squeezed by the landowner. By taking wealth from the con sumers, and giving it to the landowners, the Post says the production of corn is stimulated. We could not believe this assertion, even if the whole of the increased price went to the cul tivator; but how making him the tax-gatherer for the landlord can stimulate production, sur passes our comprehension. He receives a greater price than he ought to have for his produce, a reward for something which he has never done,—and in general, to bestow unmerited rewards, to give a higher price than is necessary for an article, is considered the best method to check production. At least, when the labourer is in question, no maxim is more insisted on by the landlords than that he must not be rewarded beyond his deserts, otherwise he will become lazy and saucy. Landlords and farmers combine to act on the very opposite principle in regard to the labourers which the Post advocates with regard to the landlords. That the plunder of the consumer by law stimulates or increases pro duction, is an idle dream, not a necessity which justifies the terrible evil of a great restriction. The noble list of subscriptions in honour of the Duke of WELLINGTON, published in another part of the paper, appears appropriately on the anniversary of the day which sealed his fame as the most successful warrior of the age. It has rarely happened to any one individual to have such a sum contributed from all parts of the world for the erection of a monument, and we believe there is no instance on record ofsuch a display of enthusiasm towards either states man, warrior, or patriot during his life. WEL LINGTON, too, has this additional honour : the subscriptions come from all parties. Po litical feeling is forgotten in admiration of the man who commenced the battle in Por tugal, under the most inauspicious circum stances, who was betrayed by his allies, and ill supported by his friends at home, but who still kept on the steady tenor of his way, till by one gigantic contest he and his brave companions raised the fame of the country to the highest pitch, and confirmed the peace_of Europe by the most decisive victory of ancient or modern times. We confidently hope that he will yet live for years to enjoy honours which have been so well earned, and which, by foreigners as well as na tives, are considered so justly due to his great talents as the leader of an army. The character of the Times for audacious as sertions is so fast sinking to the level of that of the Standard, that in a very short time nobody will believe it. We no longer think it worth while to notice the twentieth part of the strange assertions it continually makes. For example, it has indulged fbr two or three days in tirades against the Ministers for protract_ ing the Session, and has described them as wanting honour and honesty, because the Parliament is not already dissolved. But on two nights the House was count ed out, and necessary business postponed, by the Tories. Nay, on one of these nights Mr, WA LTE . R birSelf had the 'House - counted out, u- 1 - sc stoPriud 'lf-- ries have - thus delayed measures, the. Times has. the hardihood to accuse the WhigS of prOcrasti nating the dissolution. ttwill come sooner than will b 6 satisfactory to_ the Tories. An express from Paris, with news of yesterday's date, chiefly from Spain and the Turkish frontier, arrived in London this morning. The intelligence from Spain will be found in another article. Letters from the Turkish frontier, of the 3d inst., state that the Greek Patriarch at Constantinople was dismissed by the Porte for pri vately encouraging the rebellion in Bulgaria. • We have likewise received, through the ordinary chan nel, the whole of the Paris journals of Tuesday. They are :exceedingly . meagre of political news of interest. The prosecutions- connected with the letters of the "Contemporaine," having raised a question as to the ex tent of the inviolability of the Crown, most of the jour nals of Tuesday make .it a leading topic their original columns. The Debats commences an ar ti c l e on this sub ject with a promise to confine itself to a few words, as it does not, it says, like scholastic reasoning, and then gives us more than two columns full of the very scholastic reasoning which it. professes to abhor. The article is ably written. An argument having been raised that the inviolability of the KING does not- - throw a shield over his acts before he came to-the Throne, and consequently that his life, as Duke D'OnL EAN s, i s w ithi n t h e domain of history, -- Unfettered by the• constitutional fiction that the F . ..ING 'can do no wrong, the Debuts asks Whether it is possible to throw obloquy upon the Duke D'OaLEANs without, at the same time, cast ing an odium upon the Crown, Whether, adds the Debats, defamation and calumny seek their weapons in that period of time when the KING was only Duke of OItLEA.NS, or in the history of his reign, it is still the KING who is attacked. "Crime consists of two things —the intention and the effect. In the present case, is not the ellt.ct an offence against the KlNG—yes or no ? Is not the intention to excite contempt or hatred towards him—yes or no ?" The National, in an article .on the same subject, rather attacks the constitutional fiction than the arguments which arc based upon it. How far the attack upon this fic tion is "in itself an offence against the Constitution we do not pretend to say. The fiction may or may not be a wise one, but it is the basis of the Constitution, and should never be made -the subject of party discussion. If it is to be changed for something more real, it must, to be done safely, be effected by the deliberative powers of the State. The Constitutionnel conte n d s th a t t h e K ING. is not affected . by - the diatribes upon the Duke of OR LEANS, and that all he did or wrote, before he came' to the throne is fair matter of history,' and adds, that the good sense of the public, and the contemporaneous refu tation of the calumnies propagated against the KING as Duke of ORLEANS are sufficient for his -.vindication, without bringing the authors of them before a tribunal of law. The Courrier Francais, in a notice of the sitting of tho Chamber of Peers on Monday, states th a t th e Duke of Or leans took his seat near Marshal Soult, with whom he con versed for a long time. 'I his simple incident, which was really very natural, considering that the Marshal had just made his first appearance in the Chamber on his recovery from in disposition, and which was highly creditable to the feelings of the Prince, is gravely commented upon by the Courrier as a political concession to the Marshal at once useless and out of place. They write from Bucharest that the Emperor of Russia has allowed the General Bissetof to accept the " inclegenat" (na. turalization) which the Assembly of the States conferred upon him. The Moniteur publishes a report to the King from the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, on the state of the payments hitherto effected by the Aiexican indemnity commission. 'The total amount of claims liquidated is 1,944,161 f., and of claims re jected 2,257,331 f. Supposing, which is not likely, that all the claims still undecided should be proved to be good, there would remain a sum of 4,550,000 f. due, and a sum of 3,200,000 f. to be divided. The Minister, therefore, proposes that a f r e s h dividend of 25 per cent. should be dared on all admitted claims, in addition to that of 50 per cent., authorised by Royal ordonnance of :arch 9. This is followed by a Royal ordon nance to the above effect. A letter from Rome, in the Augsburgh Gazette, says : " The Cardinals have lately held several conferences, at which the religious differences with Spain were discussed. Spanish ecclesiastics are daily coming to seek an asylum at Rome." The grand dinner given to M. Ingres, the celebrated French painter, by the artists of Paris and his friends, took place in the Salle Montesquieu on Tuesday last. 'the Marquis de Pastoret was in the Chair; and at six o'clock 426 guests sat down to table. NI. Ingres was introduced amidst the loudest acclamations. During the dessert the Chairman addressed M. Ingres in the name of the company, and, in an eloquent speech, said they were assembled not merely to congratulate him on his success in painting, but also to greet him as an esteemed friend. M. Ingres made a suitable reply. A body of musicians, led by Messrs. Berlioz and Thomas, performed pieces from Orphee, of Gluck, and Euriante, of Weber. The party broke up after an evening spent with the utmost cordiality. We quote the following from the Gazette de France to show what trash is gravely inserted in the columns of a Journal : " A personage in a high situation has just confirmed a state ment which we . have already published, of not only a partition of the east being thought of, but also a new division of the States of Europe. According to this plan, England would have Egypt, Russia Constantinople, Austria the provinces on the Danube, and Prussia would be aggrandised by the addition of Saxony, part of Poland, and Hanover. France would be informed that her conquest of Algiers would no longer be con tested.

Advices from Madrid of he 10th inst. state that the Fete Dieu was solemnised with great pomp in that capi tal, The procession was Leaded by ESPARTERO, took the place of the Kings of SPAIN. On the right of the REGENT walked M. CALATRAVA, President of the Senate, and on his left M. ARGUELLES, President of the Chamber of Deputies. All the Senators and Deputies in the capital followed in robes and court dresses. The Young , QUEEN was among the spectators at the Hotel de Ville, whe re h er M AJESTY was atten d e d by a ll t h e disinguished M em b ers of her H ouse h o ld. N o t t h e slightest interr u pti on o f public tranquillity took place. The Coramitt ee on the Tar in h a d p resen t e d it s Bill to the Chamber of _Deputies. It recommends the Go vernment to exact, without mitigation, the duties upon all imported goods, and to make known the result to the Cortes in 1843, in order that the Customs' - laws may be ame nded. One el the members of t he Com mittee, M. SAN CHEZ, d rew up _ a separate Report, in . which he recoMmencted- the Government -- to conclude a commercial treaty with-Great Britain, before enforcing the Tariff regulations. - He proposes as the basis of his treaty, that English .cotton goods shall be admitted into Spain at a low rate of duty, previded England consents to reduce to a correiipomling €.Ntmt the cilitY 011 SP , ;ii sll wines, woult, f‘a-c the bode oI the Spatrish nation - is too little versed in the principles of free trade to adopt th e lib era l an d en lightened views of Senor SANCHEZ. The influence of the " old House,' " You-must-buy-at-my-shop," and "Rotten-ship" inte rests, is greater in the Peninsula than that of all the other interests—social, political, and religious put together. The Spanish Government appears resolved to carry on its Warfare with the Church with a high hand. One, Ecclesiastic, the Cure VILLACARTINE, was recently brought to trial for reading the POPE'S Allocution from the Pulpit in cdutenipt of the Oi'dera of the REGENT. The accused pleaded his higher obli g ation of spiritual allegiance to the visible head of the Church, but the plea was not admitted, and having been found guilty he was sentenced to be deprived of his cure, and undergo the penalty of transportation to the Island 'of Majorca. The submission of Portugal to the Court of Rome has,giyen gnitt offence to the Spanish Regent, who mutters threats of war unless DONNA MARIA Out off all intercourse with the-Holy See. This appears to us exceedingly unjust. As Portugal is not the temporal ally of Rome, and in no way interferes in the dispute between Spain and the POPE, we cannot understand upon what just principle Spain threatens to disturb her re pose. The right of Portugal either to adopt or reject a spiritual re-union with the head of the RomishChurcli is un doubted. Besides, Portugal has a great interest in settling her disputes with the POPE. In the course of recent nego tiations between the Courts of Vienna and Lisbon, Prince METTERNICH informed the Portuguese Minister that the Courts of Vienna, St.Petersburgh,!and Berlin, onlyawaited the POPE'S recognition of Queen DONNA MARIA, to fling Don MIGUEL overboard, and to join with the Western Powers iu acknowledging the legal accession of her MA JESTY. Already Austria is preparing to send an Am bassador to Lisbon, to realize the promises of Prince METTERNICH. Letters from Vienna of the sth instant say, that this mission will fall to Baron MARSHALL,. Austrian Internuncio at Washington. Surely conside rations such as these ought to have their due wei L , ht . with the Spanish REGENT, allowing that there existed, which there does not, some cause of quarrel with Por tugal for travelling singly to Rome. - We have no monetary news from Madrid of the 10th instant: On the 9th the Bourse transactions in the Five per Cents., 22 in number,.amounted to 15,000,000 reals, and were done at 264- fOr cash, and 26i 3 - at dif ferent dates. The coupons to be capitalized sold for 221 3 at 60 days, and the posterior debt bearing no in ' terest at Gi at GO days. 7 PARLIAMENT WILL BE PROROGUED either Tuesday or 'Wednesday. The reports that there was to be a further change in the Home-office, and that. Lord Morpeth was to be suc ceeded as Secretary for Ireland by Mr. Stanley, the Se cretary of the Treasury, are unfounded. It is, however, true that Sir Henry Parnell retires from the situation of Paymaster of - the Forces, and that Mr. Stanley will be appointed to that office. " ... PRISONERS SETTING FIRE TO A GAOL.-A letter from Loos, near Lisle, contained in the Journal de la Haye of the 14th instant, states that the prisoners, to the amount of 1,780,. confined in the Abbey of Loos, tired of the severity they were subject to, set fire to their prison, at the ,four corners, and endeavoured to escape. They were, however, immediately surrounded by a strong body of military and National Guards, who fired at, every person who attempt:-d to escape. The confusion is de scribed as most horrible. The number. of persons killed is not mentioned. We understand that Mndlle.•Zaunitz gives an Evening Concert on Monday next (the 21st), which will be under the immediate patronage of the Archbishop of York. The Concert will take place at the Queen's Concert room, Hanover-square, and judging from the excellent programme which we have seen, and which comprises selections from the best modern masters, we should say that it will be fully and fashionably attended.

'We are happy, however, that no damage can ensue from the mistake, as the circumstances men tioned in the context so clearly point out the house of Messrs.

The ATTORNEY-GENIIRAL said this was an information filed against the defendant, for carrying more passengers in his coach between London and Hampstead, than he was duly licensed to do. There could be no doubt of the fact, and it was necessary for the officers of the revenue to take such steps as would prevent such frauds, not only upon the Government, but upon the fair trader. However, in the pre sent case; there was every reason to believe that the defendant Oat net aware of the practices of his servants, who Were, in fact, the guilty parties ; they therefore did not wish to press severely upon the defendant, and had agreed to take a verdict for the Crown for 751 THESIGER appeared for the defendant, a n d consen t e d to the verdict for 75/. passing against him. There was no doubt but the servants of the defendant had transgressed the law, but it was not only in fraud of the revenue, but of the defendant also ; however, he was liable to a penalty, but he complained that the proceedings were brought in the Superior Court. Had the offence been complained of before a police Magistrate, the same explanation would have been made, and great expense saved. his LORDSHIP directed the Jury to find a verdict for the Crown for 751., as had been agreed upon by the Learned Counsel. such informations were very properly filed by the officers of the Crown, as it was necessary not only to protect the revenue, but the fair tracer.

The French Government has received an offie:p.l report from General Bugeaud, dated Mostaganem, sth inst., upon the events of the recent campaign in Algeria, of which the follow ing is the subs:ance This despatch, after recapitulating the first operations as corn menicated by telegraph, and stating, that on entering Teke dempt some of the houses covered with thatch, which 'had been set fire. to by the Arabs, were still burning. but that those with tilr-d roofs, as also the factory for arms, some store houses; &c., were still intact, informs us, that as the Com mander-in-Chief suptosed the Arabs would not fail, on the withdrawal of the French troops, to visit the ruins of the citadel, which the French had blown up, and which Abd-el- Kader had made his principal depot for arms and ammu nition, he placed the Zocaves and a bittalion of the 41st of the line bchiod the ruins, to await their approach. As soon as the column had begun to move, about seven or eight hun dred horsemen entered the streets, and the battalion sallying out, and firing upon them, fifteen horsemen arid several horses were killed. The despatch goes on to report the subsequent movements up to the possession of Mascara, but adds nothing to what we had already received. At Ma cara, says the de srach, it would be possible in a short time, with proper labour to provide accommodation for 6,000 or 7,000 men, and the establishment of such a force there would be useful, the only difficulty would be in supplying them with provisions. Itnrae- ' diate preparations were made for forming a garrison at Mas cars, and two lialfebatteries of reserve and field artillery were put up, and a sufficient number of gunners left to man them. The route taken by the army, on its return to Mostaga nem, is described as the worst in Africa ; and, as a proof of this, it is stated that the rear guard, being attacked by 5,000 or 6,000 Arabs, it was iminssi ble to give any support to it on account of the narrowness of the pass. The rear-guard, however, commanded by General Levasseur, and composed of two battalions of the 6th and 13th light infantry, and a battalion of the 41st of the line, with some field artillery, bore the contest alone with great courage and effect. In this affair, which cost the enemy the loss of 400 men, 7 chiefs, and a great number of horses, the French had only 10 men killed, and one officer, Sub-Lieutenant Ra chau, of the 6th light infantry, and 54 wounded. All the dead and wounded were removed, so that not a man remained in the hands of the Arabs. The total loss of the French in this cam paign, up to their return to Mostaganem, was 20 killed and 85 wounded. In an, affair on the way to Tekedempt, the French made seven prisoners. The, despatch adds that the general health.of the troops was good, and that the total number of sick in the field. hospitals was 203, int:lading 5 officers. The cavalry found abundant forage in the standing crops of wheat and barley. General Bugeaud, who announces that he was ac tively preparing to renew the campaign on the 7th or Bth, and, after praising the conduct of the different corps composing the expedition, mentions numerous officers as having distinguished themselves by their courage and zeal on different occasions. Among them we find the • names of Lieutenant-Colonel Ca vaignac of the Zouaves, General Boyer, Aide-de-Camp of the Duke de Nemours, Lieutenant-Colonels Despinoy and Renaud, Chef-de. I3ataillon Walsin Esterhazy, Gen. Larnorieiere. Colo nels Roguet, Tampour, Lafeille, and Random The General also notices with honour Drs. Baudens, Sai; , , , et, and Viel, and also in a particular manner the Abbe Stalter (sent by the Bishop of Algeria to accompany the army as chaplain). The Governor- Gen. adds, " The Duke de Nemours has been all that a Prince of illustrious race ought to be—to the army an example, and stimulant to all. Gen. Lamoriciere rendered the greatest ser vices in making the preparations for war, .proving that the im portant details of organisation and administration may be com bined with ardour and courage, which he displayed on every occasion. General Mustapha Ben Ismael executed a b ii liant charge on June Ist, in driving the Arabs from the defile into which we were entering, and well supported by El- Mezary, Cadour Ben Moafy, and Mohammed Ben Cadour, e eusine many of the enemy's regular cavalry to bite the dust. ° Colonel Delarue did not leave me for a single mo ment, e: ceps to join in any action in which the troops of his friend Gene,-'1 Lamoriciere happened to be engaged.

The Moniteur Parisien publishes a decree of the Governo: - General, dated 30th ult., to the effect that all the inhabitants of Mascara, and those within a radius of 24,000 metres fr-rn the town, who do not return to their residences there within a month, are to lose all right to their several properties, which are to be joined to the domains of the State. Another decree orders 30 hectares of geound (75 acres) to be allotted per regiment to all troops establishi: l in permanent camps. The following Order of the Day was issued at Mostaganem, on the sth inst. :•—• "His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours returns to France, having, during two expeditions, partaken in the fa tigues and glory of our soldiers. The army had already . been taught to know the Prince at Constantine, and his new sojourn in its ranks has only drawn closer the ties by which lie was bound to it. His memory will live in the three provinces, for be has fought with the three grand divisions of this army, whose courage and constancy he has learnt to appreciate. The army will also live in his heart. He will tell the King how much it merits, and how much more it will deserve the esteem of the couetry, which is the impetus of all its actions. Gene ral Lamoriciere resumes, under my orders, the general com mand of the expeditionary column. "The Governor-General BUGEAUD." Dr. Baudens, who accompanied the late expedition in Africa, has returned to Paris, and yesterday had an audience of the King. SERIOUS TUMULT IN BARCE- LONA. • BARCELONA, JUNE B.—Yesterday Barcelona was thrown into the greatest consternation; a panic seized all the inha bitants, in consequence of the assembling throughout the city of large bands of labourers, who had left their workhouses to proceed to the Custom-office, where a quantity of British smuggled goods were to be sold by public auction, The Ad ministration had given notice of the sale through the papers, and at four o'clock p.m. a body of about 4,000 workmen as sembled on the square of the Palace, and loudly demanded that the goods should be burned, instead of being put up for auction. The intendant, finding that the groups were assuming an alarming aspect, and fearing, with reason, lest the work men should commit some excesses, ordered the gates of the Custom-office to be closed, and the sale to be discontinued. But this measure did not satisfy the crowd, who appointed a deputation to wait on the Captain-General Van Halen, to de mand of him the delivery into their hands, or the destruction, of the goods. His Excellency replied, that his power was ex clusively military, and bade them aptly to the civil authorities. The mob, which had by that time considerably increased, then proceeded in the direction of the square of the Constitution, where the municipality was holding an extraordinary meeting, and concerting measures with the Political Chief and the Commander of the National Guard. The workmen sent a new deputation to the Ayuntamiento, repeating their reqUest to General Van Helen, and announcing their determination not to retire Until it was acceded to. In this alternative the municipality, after two hours' deliberation, anal with a view to avoid greater disorders, resolved on purchasing the goods, and committing them to the flames. About haliwit eight o'clock , the Pol itical Chief, accom panied by some idea es and - ol i, - cers of the National Guard, re paired, amidst 7,000 or 8,000 worliCOen, to .red of him thewhat square of the Palace and having sent for the alcactesri ;,: o deliver them was the value of the goods, and d irected him .up to him. 'this functionsry at first refused to cb-ey injunc tion,, not wishing to throw open the gates of the customhouse for fear the mob should plunder its contents; but, after m i ne pourparlers, he coesentcd to give ep the goods, which were burned at half-past eleven o'clock, in the square of the Con stitution, in front of the Municipality, which had been illumi nated on the occasion. The workmen having obtained this satisfaction, then quietly withdrew, but it is to be apprehended that they will exact more, and perhaps assail the shops ;Ind stores in which a large quantity of foreign merchandise is deposited. The Captain-General displayed no military force, and showed no sign of life ; fortunately no accident or misfortune occurred. —Journaldes Debats. TIIE AVEA'rliElt.--NOON, JUNE 18.

The sooner he comes the better, as it will be mercy towards the Orange can didates to show them at once the helplessness of their attempt. --Dublin Pilot. EXTRAORDINARY. PIC(.—Mr. Thomas Nash, of the Sow and Pigs, Dolday, is now in possession of a boar of the Shropshire breed of most extraordinary di mensions,_ and yet of the most complete symmetry. It weighs -between fourteen and" fifteen hundred weight, measures from the tip of the tail to the extremity of the snout ten feet, and in circumference eiy;ht feet four Inches. We understand that the possessor will be glad to show this enormous animal to any visitor. On Saturday a labouring -man dug up from a -hollow close to Culmorefort a cannon-bail of iron weigh ing 121bs. It is probable that it had been fired from oneof the frigates which cannonaded the river when garrisoned by James's troops, before ihey broke the'boom, and had struck the wail, as it is much bruised in one part ; but it is singular that it should have lain there so long irldis evcr,,,d.—,--I,oidehilervit: Se:46:nd.

(FP.031 A CORRESPONDENT.) NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY NIGHT. ..—The state of feeling here is beyond anything that can possibly he imagined. 'The old days of violence and bloodshed are again come upon Us, for the civil force has teen totally unable to quell the disturbances, and the assistance of the military has been obliged to be ob - taincd. During Tuesday large parties stf men kept meetiug and fighting in the most-determined manner, and it was evi dent that at night the consequences would be very serious. The first intimation was the smashing of the _Review Lfiee win dows (the Radical paper) by the Tories, one of whom was ar pt ehended irishe act of throwing a large stick up at the windows. 'fhe windows of the Seven Stars public-house, where a i beral Chartist Committee is sitting, were similarly served, and •the door battered in with immense stones by the infuriated mob. The Black Horse, Stoney-street, WO the next point of attack, but here a small party of Liberals keps the rascals back by dint of sheer hard fighting and storming . One man was stabbed and very seriously injured. On Wed nestle), night the fighting was awful, and the smashing of ""in dows terrific. The winds:nes of the Mayor, the White Lion (the head Liberal hotel), the King's Head, White Swan, Geage the Fourth (the head Tory hotel), the Shoulder of Mutton , and other places were riddled, and the police force being dreadfully beaten wherever they appeared, the Magistrates deemed it their duty, although an • unpleasant one, at the election time, to call out the military. The 3d Dragoons from the barracks arrive& shortly and put a stop to the tumult, or something else the the le caking of windows was te have been the fate of Review Office. Many men were apprehended and com mitted to prison for throwing . stones and being in out riotous assemblages ; and warrants have been taken against many more. Several have been stabbed in the affrays. s l ot 'Most of them received some serious bruises, and some may survive. Many of the police are maimed for life. The ikla „f gistrates sat up all night in the police-office, ready in ea se emergency, and the troops patrolled the streets. The Tories first commenced the riots by tearieg the first flag,than and break'ing the first pane in the Review-office windows. Mr. little thought, when he was here two months ago, the idolise & of al; the lower classes, that he should so fail in public estinsa tion as to have the weaker aide of the two. The canvass is going on great spirit, and there is not the slightest donbt that the Libera: . candidate will be elected. The Tories after searching London -Dyer .for candidates, have at length l'it e " on a Mr. Charlton, a small count: y gentleman, a short dis c i tance from Nottingham.• The.y. are evidently beaten, and therefore resort to any species of cowardly malice a party eae be guilty of. Mr. Walter dare not . show himself froul Waiter George the Fourth. He was hooted and .groaned at, pelted into his hotel on Wednesday night. All is quiet now. How soon the flame may light ag al there is no knowing. alany hundreds of pounds' worth damage has been done to property.. . THE PRESTON CHARTISTS. By the following Address of the' Council-of the Prestos Chartists, it will be seen that the Chartists of that Borough have come to the resolution Of making every etibrt to oP c i• pose the Monopolists. We. cannot too highly this resolution, which. we trust, will be generally follovrt7 by them. The Chartists may. rely.on.it that the T ° te " whatever they may now allege to the contrary forever tioaeering purposes, are the deadliest enemies they cued had, or ever could have ; and , once in power, WO' stir heaven and earth to compass their•utter destructiq• The address, it will be observed, alludes - in pretty P °sl ; „.• tive terms to the election - intrigues . of the Torie s Preston, who, as usual, 4i.e, biisy . At wort: with their 'c vourite weapons of bribery arid. intithidation ; but ' th`: l l attempts at corruption will prove titterli abortive , for ttla constituency is fully roused to a sense of its duty, out will sternly resist every endeavour on the part of vv•''. faction to tamper with its rights and privileges : TO THE ELECTORS _OF • THE BOROUGH 0r _ _ PRESTON. The time has now arrived when we should act with lina n i mity, energy, and determination. One of the most numerous I attended meetings ever held in Preston, - after mature delihe ra c i tion, unanimously agreed to supeort Sir H. Fleetwood Ois Sir ' G. Strickland at the ensuing election—a struggle whic, il es e , to determine right against might,. and justice against inj ect", When many of the brave and patriotic leaders of th e p eoPi" are immured in the dreary dungeon, crying aloud to the P c( s ple of Preston—yea, to the people of England, Ireland. al Scotland—to come forward at this important crisis to nobly to their duty, and return these men to Parliament who will for their release, and the release of Frost, Williams. weld Jones. There are now two candidates in the inQ who have pledged themselves to • assist Sou •in ga ii .; your legitimate right, with . the protection of the lot, as well as to resist all monopolies that have a tende ncy retard free trade. But the brutal, the base faction,- of TOT" ism are, determined to oppose us, and rob the honest Ele c t ; tors of the last vestige of their liberties—their votes. But c o s have a duty to perform, and be determined to perform it ; ourselves, we are determined to expose all these base 0 creants, who will or dare attempt it. We will brand therl# il like Cain, with a mark of their infamy, and they shall behe,. t . Up to the execrations of the world in the public press ; names shall be recorded as a terror to tyrants and evil d° end t° Is it not enough that we labour and faint? that we poverty and want? that we are almost driven to inadneteZ hear our children clamour on our bleak hearths for the and bitter bread that a system of class Lrgislatien has ''"„ posed upon us ? Is it not enough, we ask you, to eado ; these accumulated wrongs ? But to be openly robbed of tly last remnants of our rights, we will nut, and cannot tcole e submit to. Already have a few (thank Heaven, they ar, few), passed their odious decrees, that all the individualse: their employ must vote for the men whom they "delight to 17-. nour," without ever consulting the parties employed. Insta.ncri innumerable have already been reported by individuals wh° te. not tamely submit to these, atrocities; and having reason believe the truth of those statements, we hesitate not to i n fer o f those parties who have been guilty of these diabolical act' .° ' attempted robbery and intimidation, that their names a js known, and we are watching their actions closelv. it not a notorious fact, that the President of the 'Coo' s servative Association has made a regular practic e ,' -,•te.! on the eve of municieal elections, to give a montr r - ;, 0 41 notice to the whole of the electors under his employ, in or h e to intimidate them, that they may be more easily made to suet mit to his decree? and now, when a dissolution of Parliatn e t , was expected, upwards of sixty persons had their ru ont;l notices duly served. Men employed in some of the mills, other branches of business, with minds bordering on madr'''' t t have given information that the dictators have issued their ° e• crees, and have actually remitted their rotes to the Cononittea of Messrs. Parker and Swainson, without their conga °r I 'o knowledge. Electors of Preston ! Will you tamely submit to these a c r e of injustice and intimidation, and net make an effort to ext l ; t cate your:elves ? We hope and expect you have not forg o the doings of 1830. You then rose in the majesty of rthe might, broke the shackles of'your, oppressors, and retur ned man of your choice. The country - round, from John o' Groat c, to Land's End, approved of 'your conduct. Medals wer e strc oe in commemoration of your achievement. On that 0cca.,%4 you acied'with unanimity. Your employers were astounTis and knew not how to act, well knowing that their cap ita ' valueless without your labour. A ter' e: " Black Fleet," asouse, shake off your apathy !

The tyrants we will not obey, wil t ' ee e may be the consequence, believing that our political be are as sacred as our religious tenets; and that it would equally unjust to interfere with one as with the other.
