The Lords did. not meet yesterday. . The Commons natt c as usual. Mr. HINDLEY gave notice of a motion, for Friday, on the Corn-laws, and Mr. WARD gave notice of a. motion, fbi , the seine day, to the effect that the ATTORNEY-GE ifERAL be directed to prosecute Mr. SWANN, and inother person, for bribery at the Cambridge election, when Mr. MANNERS SUTTON was chosen. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON explained to the House that the author of the charge which he had made in the house against Mr. O'CONNELL was a Mr. ROBERT whom Mr. O'CONNELL said bore the appellation of " lying Boa Twiss." So the Learned Sergeant took nothing but a little additional shame by his new motion. In reply to Mr. LOCKHART , . Mr. Fox MAULE said •tilt G r ovel-nine-tit had not the power to prevent Clerks of 3 . lietkeee of the 'Nue in Scotland from acting as politi- Ma% Mr. Coutruotv ►i:ently tllowed his Bill against lEaynooth t. drop, The Rouse went into a Committee upon the Dog- Carts Bill, after a few spirited and proper observations by Messrs. PRYME, WARBURTON, and HUME, and after a division, on which 141 voted to put down dog-carts in the country, and 30 to allow them to •be kept up. The Liberals may see by the use that is made of their aggressions on the liberties of the people, what a fatal mistake they have committed. They were told by Sir R. INGLIS that, instead of op posing this Bill, they ought to bring in a Bill to repeal the dogcart clause of the Metropolis Police Act. In the Committee Mr. BILLER made an amusing speech, which very happily ridiculed minute legislation ; but it was thrown away on the gentlemen with micros copic intellects, to whom it was addressed, and the Bill went through a Committee. Mr. CRESSWELL moved that the House should go into a Committee to address her MAJESTY on the subject of the Danish claims. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL made a long speech against the motion. Sir STRATFORD CANNING and Mr. HUME supported the motion. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER made a few ob servations, but did not oppose going into a Committee, as he would express his opinions, he said, on bringing up the Report. After a few words from Mr. CRESSWELL, Sir C. GREY, and Mr. P. Howann, the House went into Com mittee ; a resolution was agreed to ; and the Report was ordered to be taken into consideration to-day. The Charitable Trusts Bill was read a third time and passed after a division on the third clause, to which Sir E. SUGDEN objected, as having been framed for a poli tical purpose. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL assured the House that the clause was necessary, and the House showed that it was of the same opinion, by assenting to the clause. In a brief debate on the Houses of Industry (Ireland) Bill, Sir E. KNATCHUULL condemned the Government for presenting legislative measures contrary to their en gagements. It was shown, in reply, that the Bill in question was not .a Government Bill. Colonel SIBTHORY, however, swelled out very big, and spoke of the Government being idle, incapable, and inefficient. Mr. Fox MAULE said he regarded the observations of the Hon. Member as utterly below contempt ; and Colonel SIBTHORP, being thereat af fronted, walked out of the House. Then ensued a mo tion of Mr. WYNN to order the Gallant Officer to attend in his place ; and his presence being obtained, there was one of those customary scenes of retractations and apolo gies that are neither retractations nor apologies, and there the matter ended. The Clerk of the Peace (Lancaster) Bill was recom mitted after a division; a clause adding Birmingham to the Bill, was incorporated with it, one to add Manches ter was lost on a division, and finally the Report was re— ceived, and -the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-day. On the further consideration of the Administration of Justice Bill being moved, Sir E. SUGDEN proposed a clause to prevent the Bill coming into operation till the 10th of October, alleging that it was highly improper to allow a Government that had not the confidence of the House of Commons to exercise all the patronage which this Bill would bestow. He objected also to establishing a new Court of Chancery at this period of the year, and implied that the elections would suspend the business of the Courts. A debate ensued, in which it was contended by Lord JOHN RUSSELL that it was treating Lord COTTENHAM most invidiously to suspend the period for the Bill coming into operation. It was throwing a discredit on him which he did not deserve. It had been settled between the parties that the Bill should pass, and the present opposi tion to it was not expected. Lord Jolts RUSSELL manfully spoke up for the LORD CHANCELLOR. The Tories are quite proud of their new-found strength, and taunted the Whigs with being in a minority, and told them that to allow the Bill to pass as they wished it, and to allow them to exercise this patronage, would : be a practical proof of confidence in direct opposition to the vote of want of confidence to which the House had come on Fri day. The motion was pressed to a division and the Mi nisters were defeated by 101 to 83. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then declared that he would withdraw the Bill. Lord STANLEY threw on the Go vernment, if it did, the blame of delaying the adminis tration of justice. A good deal of crimination and recrimination passed, and in the end the Bill was with drawn. The measure has been at least two Sessions, if not three, before Parliament ; and nothing but the urgency of the case could have induced the Opposition to agree t h,:t it should pass this Session. Having sanctioned it, to pr ,:•ent it coming into operation till October—for a scramble ..for patronage, as Mr. HAWES expressed it — was, in our oizinion, a disgrace to any party. It was, so far as the Bill is intended to promote the adminis tion of justice—s denial of justice to, suitors ; and the conduct of the Tories deserves severe censure. We cannot, howeyer, approve of the with drawal of the Bill for the same reason. It is more a denial justice to withdraw it than to keep it back till October. Lord .T. RUSSELL should, we think, have thrown on the Tories the respnsibility of putting it off, and should have passed it in the p;rfeet confidence that the present Ministers will have to make the appointments. The withdrawal implied, we think, a conN".jetion in Lord John RUSSELL that he will not be in office in October. Why should he express in any manner such a st:spicion? Neither party did itself any honour by its conduct, and both parties brought, as Mr. B. WooD remarked, administration of justice into discredit by making the appointment of the Judges an obvious political job. After this matter was at an end, several measures were forwarded, and at One; o'Clock the House ad journed. i ~'~ ~ ~ ~.. ~4 k THE DANISH CLAIMS. We have noticed the proceedings in Parlia ment on these claims in our summary, but we I deem it necessary to enter more at large into the conduct of the Ministry on this particular, and, in reality, very peculiar question. It is an old adage that men who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Now we sus pect that the present Government has been carrying on in a glass house for some con siderable period, and that lately their house has been rather damaged by the weather of public opinion, but more especially by their own incon siderate conduct. The present Government are working out, or prifessing to be working out, the principles of the Reform Act—the principles on which Lord GREY'S Government came into power. And where are they now ? Why, Lord GREY had a majority of some two hundred and fifty, after the Reform Bill was carried ; and where is it now? Where is the bright assemblage of gentlemen whose mirror-shining faces reflected the glories of the Reform Bill ? All smashed into a broken pane ! number one below zero in public opinion, so far as that opi nion is represented by the present House of Commons. Can all this be the result of accident ? Surely not. Because the present Government, and the willing Members who have supported that Government (many it is to be hoped for -the last time), have been told and warned that such pro fession and mock-performance would ulti mately find its level, and meet its due reward. But, acting on the old folly that neither Kings nor Ministers grow wise by experience, the Reform (?) Ministers laughed the counsel of their true friends to scorn, and have acted on the insidious, but possibly more advice of th e i r po li t i ca l enem i es . pleasing, Now, 'we would not quarrel with men acting on their own, or on the opinion of their friends, in matters of private judgment ; but when public men are elected to a high, trust-worthy, and responsible position—afelvmein,nfsol‘tvhee say that benefit of many millions—w e that they have no right, moral or otherwise, to sacrifice that cause, and trust, to their own private party, or other predilections. Here we are in the eleventh year of the Re form era, and every man naturally asks what is our position? The Tory, or turn-coat Conserva tive, exclaims, We are all right ! (Three cheers tbr Tory-Whigs!) The Reformer hangs down his head, and, mourning with subdued bitterness, exclaims, We are undone! And by w h om ? Why, by the very men who have. stepped up the glowing ladder of public opinion to blast con fident Reformers in their dearest hopes. Our readers, we know, will not be surprised at the apparent itarsiness of these observations applied to men who have been honoured with the support of Reformers hitherto, and by none more honestly or energeti cally than by The Sun Newspaper. But when we find men tripping in the last stage of their political existence, by foolishly and obstinately opposing a question of justice, — a question FOUR TIMES acknowledged by the Commons to be due to poor people, and yet being conceded last night by the organ of the Government, because he knew, vnd expressed hi 6 VN 0 c 4 1 1Tg IST DONI, i) 4III3RSDAY, JUNE 10, lB4l. belief, that hewould be defeated; he allowed it to pass that stage, in order that he might beable, by intrigue, to perpetrate his wrong to-night—we ask, is such conduct worthy of a Liberal Minis try ? If it be, The Sun shall support such Ministry no longer. If the perverse obstinacy of one man is to rule and commit the Cabinet, let the Cabinet take the consequence. We care not for the Cabinet collectively, though we respect several individual exceptions, and we only wish that, they had more power or more heart to assert the great principles on which their political power is at present founded. Our cause—our party, is essentially that of the people—we are in the same boat with them, and we must swim or sink together. But that time will be doomsday ! Men are not to be eternally the cat':-paws of others merely because they hare been once or twice duped. The more deceived, the more determined. Men are just the same in political as in private life—if they forfeit character once, they forfeit it for ever. To the admirable speeches of Sir STRATFORD CANNING, Mr. HUME, Mr. CRESSWELL, Mr. O'CONNELL, and other gentlemen on the discus sion of the Danish claims, the justice of which they have long and uniformly supported, we have much pleasure in directing the attention of our readers. As to the speech of Sergeant WILDE, it was quite unworthy of his abilities, if not of his repu tation. The ghosts of many poor claimants, who have perished while their money was lent or given away for political purposes by former Admini strations, may yet meet some recreant Members at the hustings. Let them remember that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. "We shall meet at Phillippi !" It is delightful to see Lord BROUGHAM again at his post, and devoting his transcen dent talents to the cause of the people. As might naturally be expected, the Orange Tory prints have commenced to abuse him, and the Standard goes out of its way to inform its pious readers that he had the profaneness to travel on a Sunday. Lord BROUGHAM, from his first entrance into public life, has been the friend and advocate of popular rights; and as such has been .looked upon with an " evil eye" by the aristocracy. Will the elegant and accomplished WARWICK venture, in his presence, to amuse his fellow Peers with sneering at the ignorance of the people ? It is a well known fact, that the clergy and aristocracy never forgave BROUGAAM for forcing on a reluctant Government the commission to inquire into the abuses of public charities. The scandalous disclosures that thus were made exceeded all belief; and there were numerous instances of re verend and titled plunderers, and rotten Cor porations, quietly pocketing the funds bequeathed by benevolent persons for the education of the children of the Poor. In his celebrated Letter to Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, which was republished in the 13th volume of the " Pamphleteer," No. 25, he thus describes some few of those iniquities: " We were equally unable to ascertain how much in value of the St. Bee's school property remained in the hands of the Noble Lord, who sustains in his own person the double cha racter of trustee and lessee. It was in like man ner impossible to estimate the arrears due to the poor from the worthy Magistrates of Hunting don, and the noble family whose political interest in that borough has been founded upon the mis application of the charity estates." Who can wonder, after this, at the desperate struggle the Tory Peers made in 1839 to prevent the Education of the Poor, when they had dis covered so much more profitable a way of em ploying the charity funds ? If the Tories come into power on the principle of maintaining monopoly, how do they mean to govern the country ? The electors are bound to ask themselves that question before they resolve to vote for the Tories and monopoly. If they can sce a reasonable prospect of quietly conduct ing public affairs on the principle of making laws to plunder one another, they may venture to vote for a Tory ; if they cannot, let them not precipitate the country into anarchy by esta blishing a Ministry on an avowed principle of injustice. Since the Reform Act was passed, if not be fore, to govern by prescription was at an sad. From that time forward every institution was to be tested by reason, and if it cannot be on this ground defended, it is not likely to be main :a.ined. Since prescription is at an end, it is no w more than ever necessary to make the opinions of the people the chief consideration. They are the persons to be governed, and to dis regard them, while Ministers and statesmen act on what are called constitutional maxims, is like a builder setting about to con struct a house on some ancient model, without considering the materials which are at his command. Statesmen who defy the opinions of the governed, like Lord STANLEY, are manipulating chemists, who scrupulously watch their mea2nres, weights, and retorts, with out troubling themsAres to investigate the nature of the substances contained in their vessels. It is, then, above all thi . ,lto necessary that the statesman of our day should cOnsider the opinions of the living generation ; an there is one opinion in which all men agree. They affirm that Government is established to pfomote the good of the whole community. That is a theory universally adopted. But the Tories are to :ake the Government on the avowed principle of sub stituting class legislation for the general benefit. They are to maintain sugar duties for the plant ers, timber duties for the London capitalists en gaged in the Canada trade, and corn duties for the benefit of the owners of rent. They are, therefore, to establish the Government on a prin ciple which they, in common with all men, con demn, and in direct defiance of their own de clared opinions. Moreover, as the opinion that government is established to promote the general good, is just and wise, it must every day acquire more and more force and consistency. Daily, then, the Ministry which is established in defiance of it, must become weaker, and must speedily be de stroyed. It will not do to say that government was practically conducted on a defiance of the general good in former times. When prescrip tion came to an end, that argument ceased to have any force. The multitude are now aware of the object and intention of government, and to be quietly governed they must be convinced that the laws they are required to obey are for their own good, as well as the good of the law makers. The practical question then is, do the Tories expect, or can they hope, that all the manfac turers, that all the artizans, that the great body of consumers will obey a law to enrich sugar planters, by taxing them ? - Can they rationally expect that the multitude will put up with short commons and deficient employment, with poverty and starvation, to swell the rent rolls of law-making landlords? These are such manifest violations of the general principle on which go vernment is founded, that it is unreasonable to expect that men will obey such lays. Their sense of justice, their hatred of lies, their want of food,—moral rectitude and self-preservation, the strongest sentiments, and the strongest pas sions, will urge them to resist such laws. To establish a Ministry, then, on the principle of supporting monopoly is a sure way to bring government into peril, and introduce anarchy into society. To us it seems a fearful experi ment to attempt to establish a Ministry in oppo , sition to the general principle of all govern ; ment, and in opposition to justice, inviting and • I directing against it the strongest passions of the great multitude of the governed. We know it is said that the landlords - and the parsons, and those they can dupe, are in favour of their injustice; and zealously - support this class legislation; that they constitute a large and ea- lightened body of the nation, and that by their support a Government fbunded on monopoly may be maintained. Do not believe it. In 1834 the landlords themselves required their class legislation to be altered. Another such year as 1834 will come with the first abundant harvest; and the classes on • whose support the monopoly depends, will then fall out, and the Government and the country will be a prey to anarchy. What. a lesson, too, does this Tory system read- the multitude. It says, that by legis lation men may enrich themselves, and it tells them to acquire legislative power as a means of engrossing wealth. It is a direct bounty on revolution. The Chartists have learnt the lesson of the Tories. They imitate the Peers. They want to get hold of the power of law-making, that they may tax other people to support them. That is the abominable precept the Tories teach, that is the abominable example they set, and both are followed. They are the very essence of plunder and anarchy, and in the ensuing election all who wish to give complete ascendancy to plunder in order to bring about confusion, will vote for a Tory. Some cunning and unprincipled men sup port the Tories because they know that to install them in office is to ensure the destruction of go vernment and the dominion of anarchy. nr. HINDLEY last night gave notice that he would, on Friday, on the Order of the Day for going into a Committee of Supply, call the atten tion of the House to the injustice done to the lower and middle classes of society by the exist ing system of taxation, and especially by the pre sent Corn-laws. The Tories may, therefore, be unable to escape the discussion they dread on the bread-tax. Mr. VILLIERS, to whom the sub ject properly belongs, could not perhaps bring it forward, because, as he said in the House, the Ministers had taken the task out of his hands. We understood that to imply that he had at the request of Ministers waived his own motion to allow them to undertake thelquestion, and though they were unable to bring it forward, he might, feel himself precluded on that account from further moving at present in the matter. But Mr. HINDLEY and other Members are un der no such obligation, and we cannot see why they should not make, after the manner of the To ries, appeals to the hustings through the House of Commons. We are quite aware of the technical and formal difficulties that prevented Lord JOHN RUSSELL from provoking a debate on the subject by a motion ; but they only stand in the way of Ministers, and it is the duty of other Honourable Members not to allow the subject to sleep. Mr. HINDLEY'S intention was excellent, the wording of his motion implies an admirable principle, and, well followed up, it may much contribute to the success which we believe awaits the anti-bread taxers. The subjoined late and rather important news from Spain, has reached London, by an extraedinary express from Paris, dated yesterday : MADRID, JUNI 3.—A new Commission has been again named, for taking into consideration the establishment of banks in the provinces, for the purpose of furnishing funds to the agriculturists at a fair rate of interest. The Minister of Fi nance has not yet succeeded in obtaining any advances from the different capitalists, the latter trying to drive too hard a bargain. The resignation of this Minister is talked of, and although merely a rumour, the funds declined yesterday to 26% for cash, at which price they remain to-day. The Ministry has just received a check in the Chambers. In spite of their opposition to it, the Cortes have adopted, by 82 against 52, the project of the Commission, to the effect that Senators holding situations under Government shall not receive any salary during the session. The Member Lopez has resigned. M. Calatrava has been named Senator. '1 he health of the young Queen does not im prove. The Council of Regency, and the guardians appointed by Ferdinand's will, in case of any unforeseen event to the Queen-Mother, have put in their claim to the guardianship. By an Extraordinary Express from Paris, we have news from that capital of Wednesday's (yesterday's) date. Marshal SouLT will discharge the duties of his office during his temporary sojurn in the country, for the benefit of his health, by means of estafettes. He will be accompanied by his son, the Marquis of DALMATIA, who will not proceed as Ambassador to Rome until his father's health is restored. The absurd trepidations of the National and the Gazette de France, on the score of the existence of a Thrkish partition treaty, signed by England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, are very properly ridiculed by their more sober Contempo raries. The Paris Journals of Tuesday add little to the intel ligence of the same date received yesterday by Express, and published in the afternoon Edition of The Sun. Marshal SoutT's good humour has been restored by the appointment of his son, the Duke of DALMATIA Am. bassador to the Court of Rome. The illustrious Mar shal will therefore remain in office for the present. Ac cording to a statement in the Constitutionnel, the Cabinet has not come to any resolution touching the summoning of the Deputies to Paris to adopt tho Peers' Amendments upon the Recruitment Bill. The Courrier Francais states that Marshal SouLT will go into the country for a fortnight to recruit his health, during which time he will transact no business whatever. This will lead to the ap pointment of an Under Secretary of State of the War Department. It would appear from the following article, which we copy from the .National of Tuesday, that the closeness of the alliance between England and Russia begins to excite serions alarm in France. All Paris has been in excitement to-day. in consequence of extremely serious reports relative to the attitude of Russia and England with respect to France. While M. Guizot was en deavouring to reenter the European conference, the work of the Treaty of July was continued in the East, by the manoeu vres of the two Courts, which divide the influence in that quarter. Thanks to England and to Russia, thanks to both of them, the work of decomposition which is gradually dissolving Turkey, is every day penetrating deeper into the heart of the empire. One insurrection follows another—every thing seems to be giving way, every hour shows some new ruin. There is nowhere any authority that is respected. Accordingly Russia, which sees the conclusion approaching, which it has long expected, has comprehended that it was necessary th o u g ht of, but it does not see the ne to make haste. It conc eives that the p artition ou g ht td be immediately ce „;,:, of admitting France to this partition. Its meaning is, si tuation in w.!7ich they were placed by the Treaty of the 15th of that tlin:s should remain, witli respect to the East, in the to England, which immediately re- July. Four p„ - :rs treated : therefore, four ought to regu late the sequel of the :.reat.Y• It is said that a note to this ef tett has been addressed 's share. Austria to re flected and found all kinds dei•cuses not to sign the new pro tocol. Thus, the principle of tiic Treaty.of the 15th of July provinces. Prussia to would be applied even to the question of partition. England s obtain something in another quarter. Such are the reports andce re ceive e R S u e s v i a t ni said, a part which have obtained great credit to-day. We believe that they ar of f to t h h e a v D e a t n b u el i i a o n a impoement it at ssible that are much exaggerated , but it is certainly no: England and Russia s tren g then their alliance, an; I c our expense. We shall return to this subject. We can assure th e National, that England h 2 s not the remotest intention of following up the Treaty of .;:' I Y by a partition treaty. There is a page in the history • of the relations of Rus sia, Austria, and Prussia, towards Poland, which Great Britain will be the last to quote as supplying an example for the imitation of civilised States. The following are extracts from the papers : A son of the Duke Decaze left Paris on Monday with de spatches for St. Petersburgh. It is said that the object of his mission is to understand the reasons of the delay given to the signatures of the treaty said now to be under consideration in London. Queen Christina , of S p ain, now at Paris, is said to be ern ployeal in writing a sketch of her political life, to be entitled " Eleven Years' Reign." The Commerce says that— . Th e Ki n g of Sardinia, by a n ordinance dated 11th May, has charged his Legation at Constantinople to creato imme diately two sanatory establishments —viz., one at Constanti nople and the other at the Dardanelles. This measure is in tended to facilitate the navigation of Sardinian ships trading with the Russian ports of the Black Sea, and of the Sea of Azoph. In this view the Sardinian vessels are to stop on their passage . ..by the two straits at the two new sanatory establish ments, and, avoiding all communication with the Turki4i ports, will obtain a considerable diminution of the quarantine prescribed. This wise measure is worthy of being imitated by the French Government." A letter from Florence, dated 2Flth ult., in the Constitu tionnel, says that the Grand Duke of Modena has just granted to the clergy privileges and franchises which have seriously dis pleased all the Soverelgns of Italy, not excepting the King of Sardinia and the Emperor of Austria, and it is added that the Empress of Austria has endeavoured, during her stay at Me dena, to destroy the excessive influence of the clergy over the mind of the Grand Duke. According to this letter the favour shown by him to the clergy arose from his desire to obtain abso lution from the Pope for the offence of having hanged, without the previous Co,USent of the Court of Rome, a priest who was implicated in the revolution of Modena. The Jesuits, who were charged by the Grand Duke with the negotiation at Rome, are said to have made it a condition of their success that he should enlarge the privileges of the priesthood in his dominions.

CORN, CURRENCY, AND CONSOLS.—Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross, with indefatigable industry, has just brought out another Statistical Table, which will be found of great use in discussing the important measures now agitating the country. In addition to the price of Corn and Consols formerly published, the present table contains the total circulation of Bank of England notes, (with those of private Banks), the amount of exports and imports, and the expenditure of the State for each year from 1790 to 1840. The outlines of the table have the appearance of mountainous ridges, and to a fearful height some of them rise. For instance, the circulation of the notes of the Bank of England reached, in 1817, the enormous amount of thirty millions, and the expenditure in 1813 about four times higher than that of last year, being not less than 172 millions sterling. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR; WEDNRSDAY.—The Queen rode out in a car riage this afternoon, in the Parks, attended by Lady Barham, Hon. Harriet Lister, and the Hon. Mrs. Anson.

These views, which are twenty-five in number, represent Cabool, Ghuznee, Kelaat, and several other remarkable places in Affghanistan, and are from sketches taken on the spot by Sir Keith Jackson, during the progress of the late cam paign in that country. They are drawn in the tinted style of lithography by Walton, and are printed by Hullmandel, who has availed himself of all the most recent improvements in the art. A Map of the route of the army of Indus— respecting whose long and harassing march so many entertaining particulars were published last year—accompanies the plates, and adds greatly to the interest of the volume. The views of the fortifications of Cabool give a vivid idea of the strength of this capital, which is surrounded on three sides by fortifications, and at a first hasty glance would appear absolutely impregnable. The plate representing the Storming of Ghuznee by the Caubul Gate is full of spirit. The dark frowning ramparts, which are manned by hun, dreds of native troops, are wrapt in smoke froth. the incessant fire of cannon directed against them ; and the British troops are entering by a breach made near the gate, and triumphantly bearing down all the opposition. The solitary figure on horseback, who with drawn sword is waving his men on to the assault, has a very striking effect. Kweltah is the view of a strong hill fortress that stands nearly in the centre of an extensive plain, here and there dotted with luxuriant forest trees, and enlivened by groupes of British soldiery who arc rapidly scouring across it, accompanied by camels, baggage waggons. and trains of artillery. There is a great command over space shown in this graphic sketch. Kandahar from the south is a graceful and most picturesque landscape, with an im posing mountain distance defined with great skill. The appearance of the British troops winding in single files round the base of a hill in the foreground, breaks the still-life of the landscape, and imparts to it quite a cheerful as pect. The letter-press explanations of the dif ferent views arc brief, and to the point. The work is dedicated to the Chairman and Directors of the East India Company. ILLUSTRATIONS qf MASTER HUMPHREY'S - . _ CLOCK. Tyas, London, 1841. The present Part, which is the Thirteenth, contains four plates, of which we can say no more than that they just barely attain mediocrity. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta—Our worthy representative, E. B. Clive, Esq., M.P., presented to Parliament on the 2d instant a petition from the city of Hereford, praying for the removal of those unwise and unjust laws which deny the right of the people to exchange the produce of their labour for the productions of other coun tries, and which sanction tie iniquitous monopolies in corn, sugar, and other food ; and that those measures introduced by her Majesty's Ministers may not be obstructed; ire. The petition was signed by persons professing every shade of politics, Whigs, Tories, Radicals, and Chartists, the whole number amounting to 1,007, obtained in three days; among them the Mayor and Magistrates, the Aldermen and Town Council, several of the resident clergy of the Establishment, all the Dissenting ministers except the 'Wesleyan minister, with the names of the oldest and most influential tradesmen of the cit N y. ow, Sir, as your paper is more read in this city than any other, I was rather surprised that it was not reported when the petition was presented. I trust you will take an opportunity of doing so. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, Hereford, June 9, 1841. F. W. H. [ We do no, see any notice of the petition in the ether papers, and p;obably Mr. Clive was not heard. Our Correspondent would not complain if he knew the difficulty reporters have s ,Nroetinies in catching the names of Members and ulaces. ] AI:•LEGED MURDER AT D EPT FO R greatest;excitement has prevailed in Deptford since Tuesday, in consequeOP of a woman having been discovered with her throat cut, in a house occupied by a man named Thomas, in Giffen-street, in the above neighbourhood. Suspicion has fallen on a man n :ssned Jacobs, who has been tacit into cus tody. On inquiry into the case yesterday at the Police-court, before Mr. Jeremy, it transpired that. the prisoner had long resided separately from his wife, and on the night previous to the murder, brought home the deceased woman with him. Jacobs's statement before the Magistrate ran thus :—He met the deceased about 1 o'clock in the street. She came to him and asked him if he could tell of a lodging, adding that she had come from Rotherhithe. He offered her to go with him, which she agreed to. He went to sleep and did not awake till 7 o'clock. When he first woke she was sitting up. He said, t , Why don't you lie down ? " The clock struck 7. Deceased asked what time it was, and he told her. He afterwards went to sleep, and was awoke by the rattling of the deceased's throat. She was sitting up, and had her gown turned over her head. The blood was streaming from her throat. The razor was lying in her lap. It was nea r ly sh ut up, and she appearel nearly exhausted. He ran down stairs without speaking or doing anything to her, or touching the razor. His own razor w:s at the other lodging, and had a black handle. ' When they first Went in deceased asked for a light, but he could not get one. The prisoner said he had nothing further Ito add. Mr. Jeremy real the statement over, and the prisoner said it was correct. An inquest will be held on the body to morrow. SECOND GREENWICH HOSPITAL FOR MER CHANT SEAMEN.--a appears by a circular, that this great project of providing a home and howpital for m ?remit& mariners, is to be brought before Parliament early next Session, having been delayed during this Session from the prospect of a disso lution. Some modifications, giving to disabled or decayed sailors the option of being relieved in their own localities, have been adopted, and now the feeling is so general in favour of the plan in the maritime sli,tricts, that there is little doubt of its speedy success. FAT A [.ITT OF THEATRES. —Drury-lane was built in 1662, destroyed by fire in 1672, rebuilt in 1671, and burned down three years after. It was agai.i burned down in ; 1809. Covent•gardcn Theatre was built in 1733, and de stroyed by fire in 1808. Her Majesty's Theatre opened in 1704, burned down in 1789. Pantheon, Oxford- street, built in 1772, burned down in 1784, and eight years after was again destroyed by fire. Surrey Theatre destroyed in 1805. Royalty Theatre burned down in 1819. English Opera-house destroyed by fire on the 17th February, 1830. BELFAST.—Our accounts from Belfast this morning are most cheering. The letters speak with perfect confidence of the success of Lord Belfast and Mr: Ross, whose admirable speech, at the Ulster Association, published in this ; journal on Saturday, has won him many friends from the Tory 4 . ranks.

Stanley, Parker, John BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Marian Luigla was placed before Mr. Twvroan, charged with having stolen three pieces of check chalie, the property of Mr. Robert Howett, of Holborn. It seems that the prisoner had been seen, with two other persons, loitering about Holborn last evening, by John Brown, a police officer; and suspecting them to be thieves he watched them, and observed the female prisoner go up to the shop door of Mr. Howet:, while the other prisoners stood at the window. The prisoner stood some little time at the door, and then took something bulky that was standing there, and was making off with it, when the witness stoppeJ her, and silo let fall the parcel produced. The shopman of Mr. Howett identified the properly as that of his master, and stated its value to be 5/. The prisoner said nothing in her defence, and she was fully committed for trial. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. The business was extremely limited both for home use and export ;in prices, however, little variation took place. The public sales went off flatly. The imports light. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON 'WARM, JUNE 9.—A rather better business has been done in the Cotton Market this day, the sales comprise 2,500 bales, without any alteration from the previous rates.

M'LEoD. —The arguments before the Supreme Court of New Yorkin this case were terminated yesterday, but the decision of the Court will probably not be made known until the last day of the term, if so soon. The adjournment of the Court will take place it is thought on Saturday, next week. On the Exchange no alteration in the foreign or domestic. No accounts of the President. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date. BOURSE OF AMSTERDA3I, JUNE 7.—ln general the price of the National Funds is weak owing to some sales for Money. In the Foreign Funds, particularly that of Spanish, the trar.- sactions have been insignificant. The great anxiety which prevailed during yesterday, owing to the non-arrival of the Britannia steamer, front Boston and Halifax, has subsided this mor&ng-, by the happy arrival of the above steamer at Liverpool, which has enlivened the spirits of the merchants and underwriters at Lloyd's, as she was insured yesterday at twenty-five thousand pounds. The account received from Bristol, of the Osprey steam boat, of Waterford, having brought intelligence of her having seen, on the Bth June, an unusually large steam-boat in dis• tress, off the Saltee Islands, has again caused great excitement in the City, particularly with the underwriters, owing to its being the pay day for the insurance upon the President steamer at Lloyd's. It is supposed, that in consequence of the intelligence from Bristol, the payment on the insurance of the President will be 'put off until further accounts have been received on the subject. The British Funds continue in a dormant state, and Consols opened at the same quotations as they left off yesterday, with nothing doing to the. present hour, 883 89; Reduced, 8831; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 973 3; Exchequer Bills 10 prem., rather better; Bank Stock, Ib9 170; India Bonds, par, 2 prem. In the F,reign 'Market most of the prices are nominal at pre sent.

HALF-PAST ONE. The great excitement whiA to the present hour prevails in the City respecting the large steamer in distress off tl.e Saltees, has caused the lion. S. Cunard to have an interview with the Lords of the Admiralty, who are also most anxious to aseertain if it is the President steamer; inconsequence of which, their intention is to send a steamer in search of the supposed steam ship in distress. We just hear that the under-writers at Lloyd's have put off the payment of the insurance on the President steamer. . Although there is no business doing of any consequence in the,British Funds to the present time, Consols continue firm, with a trifling improvement:; they are buyers instead of sellers at 88/ 89 for the opening-, 16th of July; Consols for Monet', 894 ; Redueed, 88/ ; Exchequer Bills, 8 10 prem. ; Bank Stock, nothing done. In the Foreign Market little or nothing done. Spanish Active lower, 22/, have been 23k ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 191.; Colombian, 20,1 21 ; Mexican, 27 1 /p ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., nothing done; Five per Cents., 991 100. In Shares very little doing :—Edinburgh and Glasgow, 38 ; Great Western, 91/ ; New, 621 1 ; Fifths, 11 ; London and Brighton, 45ii. ; Midland Counties, se 89 ; North Midland, 691. QUARTER T O THREE. It is said that the Lords of the Admiralty intend to despatch two steamers in quest of the large ve,sel seen by the Osprey, on its way from Waterford to Bristol. The safety of the Pre sident has again become a fertile source of discussion in the City. The Tea Sales to-day comprise upwards of 32,000 packages. Among the samples we noticed 20 packages of Assam, and 608 packages of the execrable stuff denominated washed and kiln dried, or what should be styled " dry-stiek," another lot of the quantity recovered from the Westminster Indiaman, wrecked near Margate. Very little of the quantity offered has been sold, the greater part being taken in for higher prices, but the samples purchased have realised the previous quotations. The letters and papers by the Britannia steamer will be de livered this afternoon, in the course of less than half an hour. Consols for Account, 89. No alteration in the Foreign Funds, and nothing whatever doing. CLOSING PRICES, BRITISH FUNDS. Bank Stock ,„ ,India Stock 3 per Cent Red.

The Britannia has, at last, arrived safe and sou nd— ' just when the anxious were beginning to prognosticate evil tidings she has arrived to set the fears of all at r est: .. 14 j oy She was telegraphed off Holyhead at half-past clevell.Y to-day, but the weather being then hazy - the signals a i l. , not come through till nearly one o'clock ; she was eq:,74 dently " all right" in her machinery, as - was testified7ll: .her passing the other stations on the line in quick "sue_: sc cession, making fully ten miles all hour, and reached fhlt-7 7 - '°' (r Mersey in good style, through the Victoria channel (it," being nearly four hours ebb tide) at half-past six, en' landed her mail bags at a quarter before seven. . We learn that the cause of her detention happe.ned thus :—She left Boston, as advertised, on the 16th, and Halifax on the 18th, when, all being ready, she Pr°"-.1 . : 1 , ceeded on her voyage. Shortly after leaving Halifax, „. and whilst still in charge of a pilot, she very unfortu:r nately got aground, but was got off at the next tide, and „. returned to Halifax, and, though she had not sustained any damage, it was deemed prudent by her careful as well as enterprising owners to send her to St. Johns , • where she was overhauled, and it was found that This might have proceeded on her voyagii with safety. Th is circumstance delayed her departure from Halifax unt il the 29th, when she again sailed, with about 90 passenger, , and has made the very rapid passage of 11 days. • As the detention of the steamer was not known I New York in time to make up fresh despatches for - her before she sailed on the 29th, we have no later direct ad' vices than the evening of the 15th. We gather, however, .„ that the hearing of M'Leod's case, after being postponed to the 17th, came on on that day, and was likely to ne cupy some days ; the result had not reached Halifax. when the Britannia left. There is no other news of litical importance in the papers. Amongst the passengers by the Britannia we notige the names of Sir John Harvey, K.C.8., Lady Harvey and family ; Captain Nugent and Captain ,Cox, British • ~ army ; Captain Agnew, of 93d Highlanders ; Cap t a in Crutchley, of the Fusileers ; Captain Fitzherbert, Ri fle Brigade ; Major Bowen, Fairhohne, of 7lst Keg' - ,-1. ment ; Captain Dickson ' Mr. and Mrs. Ogden and nI" mily, of Montreal ; the Catholic Bishop of Charles ton.

Good business freely discounted in bank, and can be negotiated in the stre7, ! :P: •• at bank rates. We notice no improvement in the quotations of domestic es :f change. A fair business has been done, at about the rates ; the previous week. The transactions in sterling have lOg, 1 4 quite extensive, at a slight improvement. uti The fluctuations in stocks continue small, though the arno c l ot k, of business done is rather increasing.

WO The rise in State stocks which we noticed a week or dive, has not been maintained, and they have receded ne_ri e f to the point of extreme depression. This may be attribute,, the great uncertainty still existing as to the payment of th ° 60 . , 11 , terest in July.

The opinion most prevalent is, that many, Iteu: s s it considered most solvent, will decline it. We have he"os,, gravely argued that it was for the interest of the banks 4°A , cept it, inasmuch as, in addition to an exemption frcet o ss s , ; pains and penalties - of the previous law for five.yeare,'' in fact giving them a bonus of the interest on the Sta te ? :,Wo for that time, giving them the privilege ()liming theirZ st se obligations without interest in exchange for those of the el a te, with interest: This is certainly plausible reasoninw'ae fit!,:;# it goes, but we conceive there are other considerations of em. - weight in this matter. 30 4 ' The stock becomes a legal tender only while the sei' remain suspended, and when the next resumption ev - of'. s if ever it should come, the loan upon the State stock' tips exceed the previous gain of interest of the other, _ettsel f ', gent advantages. It may be that many of the bane* - 4,se cipate their ability to resume in a much shorter tim e that fixed by law, and wish to avoid so large an inerealds liability; and it undoubtedly is the fact that a depreciadere' 7. the currency, such as that now contemplated, would be esioo. obstacle in their way whenever they undertake a restanl6'tbers,; All will admit that the nearer their currency is kePP value of specie the less difficulty will be experienced so ing an entire and permanent resumption.
