In the course of the evening two petitions were presented complaining of bribery at the Nottingham election. Mr. T. DUNCOMII£ complained of the Clerk of the Peace of H?rtforch-hire not having furnished the copy of the register of' the electors which had been ordered by the House. Instead of complying with the order he had sent a lett stzting that it would take three weeks to copy the register, and asking at whose expense it was to be done. In the course of :he conversation which ensued, it was genei ally tf2 ; reed that the clerk of the peace was bound to attend to such orders, and that the Magistrates of the county must pay the expmse nut ot' the county rates. Th! clerk was orlered to att. c al at the :Bar on next Monday, unless the oily was-in the meantime sent in. The adjourned debate on the No-Confidence motion u s resumed by Mr. Sergeant 'I'ALFOURD. He charm:- -teristd Sir JAMES G RAHAM'S invective against his former _friends as unparalleled in party warfare. Sir JAMES he : 11 e 6 "ibe ,1 55 nOW surrounded by those, casting a longing look - towards flake, 'whose strength he had assisted in laying prostrate. If the Right Honourable Baronet . succeeded in turning out the Ministers he would soon have to ask their aid to resist hie Orange associates any his Chartist • admirer,. • Tlle lion. and Learned Gentle :,man defended the Ministers for not having tuccecded in abolishing Church-rates, praised their administration of the affairs of Ireland, and repelled ,the taunts of the To ries that they bad done nothing to ameliorate the Poor laws, by observing that the Tories had neither done nor promised anything. He boasted...of the Post•• office reform, which he said was all the Ministers' own, and he added that the country was indebted to the Whig Attorney-General for the aboli tion of arrest for debt. The Learned Sergeant vigorously assailed the Tories, anti as vigorously defended his friends, and concluded a spirited speech by assuring the Ministers that they might safely appeal to posterity for its judgment of their conduct. Mr. HODGSON IILNDE considered it to be his duty to vote for the motion of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Mr. GILLON said he had never given a vote with greater satisfaction than the one he should give in favour of the Ministers, and he would fearlessly on that vote claim the renewal of the confidence of his consti tuents. Mr. J. GRATTAN rested his support of the Ministers on the ground of their goodgovernment of Ireland. Lord C. HAMILTON took the other side, and explained that he should vote for Sir R. PEEL. Sir G. STAUNTON approved of the conduct of Ministers, particularly their foreign policy, and would oppose the resolution: Sir W. JAMES, without saying much, except alluding to the use of clap-traps, at which Sir ItonEnT PEEL was not offended, gave his support to the resolution. lie reproached the Ministers with using the cry of cheap broad, when they knew it meant low wages. Mr. WALLACE retorted on Sir W. JA3IES, and car ried the war, which the Hon. Baronet had begun, hotly into the Tory camp. Mr. CU:SEWELL made a speech to reconcile himself, if possible, to his constituents. He referred to the educa tion scheme of Ministers, and some other abandoned measures, and asked why we were now to have a mea sure introduced by the Cabinet which the head of the Cabinet two years ago had described as the act of a madman. Dr. LUSIIINGTON retrieved his vote and speech on the Sugar Duties, by delivering an effective speech against the Tories, and in favour of the frier Is with whom he had acted all his life, and by declaring :hat he meant to vote against the motion. The Right Hon, and Learned Gen tleman seemed to bear in mind that he had reached the . close of his Parliamentary career, and alluded to his hope that though he had zealously opposed a large political party, he should not on quitting the House, leave behind him one personal enemy. Sir W. FoLLETT made a clever speech for hiS party. He referred to the agitation which he said Ministers were endeavouring to get up, but he said that they had much overrated their power. He contrasted the conduct of Sir R. PEEL, when in office in 1835, with the conduct of the Ministers, and gave much praise to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT'S speech was long and elaborate. Sir G. GREY replied to Sir W. FoLLETT, but the Right Hon. Gentleman was evidently labouring under a violent hoarseness and cold, which deprived him of his voice. His speech, therefore, was only partially heard, and seemed not to be nearly so effective as his speech on the Sugar Duties. Sir GEORGE . dwelt on the fact, that Sir ROBERT PEEL had not informed the Honse on what principles he proposed to take office. , - _Mr. HANDLEY wound up the debate fOr the evening in a speech lull of blow's, every one Of Which told heavily on the Tories.suiprised his friends probably by the steady support he gave them 4- but •he surprised -them still more by the severe manner in which he retorted on Sir J. GRAHAM, and exposed Sir R. PEEL. The consis tency of the former, and the candour of the latter, were shattered to pieces under the sarcastic blows of the " heavy Lincolnshire agriculturist." Sir JAMES GRAHAM was neatly demonstrated by his own words to be a traitor, and Sir ROBERT as neatly con victed of intending to deceive the agriculturists, and of being unworthy of their confidence. If he were to be turned, he said, out of Lincolnshire for the vote he meant to give, he should lose his seat because he was true to his principle; but Sir J. GRAHAM hadbeen kicked out of Cumberland because he was false to his. Quoting a speech of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S at Carlisle, in which he described the Tories, with whom he was now sitting • and voting, as men utterly unworthy of confidence and the enemies of liberty, Mr. HANDLEY said he should follow its doctrine, which was that he would act basely if he deserted the friends with whom he had acted all his life and united himself to a party with whom he accidentally agreed on one point. What would. Sir R. PEEL think of him if he were to set himself down a Tory for the rest of his life ? Would he not despise him ?—though that was a question he might not like to answer with Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM sitting beside him. Of Sir H. PEEL'S speech on the Corn-laws last year, to which the Right. Hon. Baronet had referred the House for his principles, Mr. HANDLEY declared that it was so full of reservations (and his Tory Corn-law friends agreed with him) that it bound the Right Hon. Baronet to nothing. Ile had told them, however, in words of ominous import, that the prosperity of manufacturers was a better support for agriculture than the Corn-law. Sir R. PEEL'S skeleton of a sliding-scale with an unmentioned pivot might mean anything, and he wanted to know whether the Right Hon. Baronet would maintain the present Corn-law. The Right Hon. Baronet gave no answer, and he would not pledge himself to the details. Mr. GLADSTONE had lately proposed a scale which would probably be adopted by Sir RoaEnT, and that gave the agriculturists a less protection by Is. 4d. than the low fixed duty pro posed by Ministers. The Right Hon. Baronet said he had explicitly stated his opinions on the Suffrage and the Ballot, but he had said nothing of the Charter. Did he mean to preserve the treaty of Nottingham, and maintain that time-serving alliance which was no honour to either party. We have adverted to only a few of the very good points which Mr. HANDLEY made. They went so deeply into Sir JAMES GRAHAM, that we believe the Cumberland Zephyr—as Mr. HAND_ LEY called Sir JAMES—will not again assail the " heavy' men of Lincolnshire. We may add, for the information . of our distant readers, that both these gentlemen are much above the ordinary dimensions, and that Mr. HANDLEY adds to great height still greater bulk ; and Sir JAMES, who had sneered at the heavy Lincolnshire men, is himself both square built and portly. The debate was adjourned at half-past twelve. Mr. CRESSWELL afterwards wished to bring on the Danish Claims, but the House would not allow him, and he again postponed the subject. After transacting some other business, the House ad journed at a Quarter before Two o'Clock. The crowded state of our columns prevented us from sooner noticing an article in the Standard of Tuesday, written with an evident intention of de preciating the gallant exploits of Commodore Sir CHARLES NAPIER during the glorious campaign on the coast of Syria, and also with a view to em broil Sir CHARLES with Admiral STOPFORD and the other officers who shared in the toils; dangers, and successes of the expedition. We have care fully examined all the insinuations thrown out against Sir CHARLES NAPIER, both by Sir RO BERT STOPFORD in his indiscreet speech at Malta, and by the Tory journals, daily and weekly, here; and we protest we never read or heard of any more utterly frivolous—more indicative of the passion of malice prepense in the. individuals advancing them. It is not stated in any pu q tea u t a l r a t t e n r e t t o h a Admiralt t Gallant STOPFORD, IIan C t o m m o odo rt r o e i - any other naval commander in the Mediterranean. It is not even whispered that Sir CHARLES in sinuated either at Liverpool or in London, or elsewhere, that the plans of the Admiral were defective, and that had others been adopted re sults still more glorious would have followed. The charges against Sir CHARLES NAPIER amount simply to this:—That in certain speeches made by him at Liverpool, Manchester, and in London, on his return from the Syrian- expedi tion, he neglected to assure an incredulous British public (staking his reputation of course for the correctness of the fact) that Sir R. STOP FORD was the greatest of all naval commanders livinr , or dead—that DRAKE, BLAKE, mind N EL , SON were hardly tit to be his cabin-boys. As Sir CHARLES did not say anything of the kind, w , presume he did not think so highly of the trans cendant abilities of the Admiral, and as there are quarters in which moderate praise is regarded as the severest censure, we think he acted with a manly prudence in saying as little of the Admiral as was consistent with a high respect for his per son and private character. With so warm an eulogist as Captain I3oxER to sing his praises, Admiral STOPFORD can need no second laureate. But, in addition to insinuations calculated to create an ill-feelingbetween Commodore NAPIER and Admiral STOPPORD, the Standard ventures upon a few assertions relative to the Gallant Commodore's conduct in the course of the cam paign, which we cannot pass over in silence. We take them in the order in which they occur in the veracious Standard:— At Sidon it is a notorious fact that the Gallant Com modore (no fault of his) did not enter that fortress until E SUN,* LONDON, THURSDAY. JUNE 3, 1841. the bates were opened to him by the marines and seamen who had obtained possession of it. Now this, instead of being a " notorious fact," is a notorious falsehood. At the storming of Si don Sir CHARLES NAPIER was actually at the head of the Marines who forced the gates, and was one of the first to enter the town. We speak from the testimony of an eye-witness who was near the person of the Gallant Commodore. So much for falsehood the first. Whilst at Acre, although he rendered good service, he took up a position, in his too great eagerness to have the victory all to himself, which prevented one of the finest ships in the fleet, the Revenge, commanded by Captain Waldograve, from using her guns. The position which Commodore NAPIER tool: up at Acre was the position which, as Comman der of the leading ship, he was entitled to take— namely, abreast of the first large battery. The Battle of the Nile afforded him a glorious pre cedent, as in that engagement the leading Brit ish vessel anchored alongside the headmost ship of the French line. What is said about the Revenge being prevented from using her guns, is a sheer calumny. So far is that from being the case, that when the Gallant Commodore saw that the Admiral had neglected to order in the Revenge to support him, he made a signal to Captain WALDEGRAVE to ad vance, which that brave officer did in a most masterly manner, taking up a position a-head of the Powerful. The Standard is of course aware that Admiral STOPFOR n's plan of attacking Acre was with three line-of-battle ships, three steamers, and a number of troops. Had this plan been carried into effect the expedition would have proved a miserable failure. The country need not be told whose influence caused it to be aban doned. We have nothing but the glory of the results to oppose to those who delight in whispering about that Sir CHARLES NAPIER was not :he most blindly obedient of subalterns. Were Sir CHARLES NAPIER of so accommodating and submissive a nature as Captain l3oxEn, for example, and in the habit of having no will or understanding but that of his immediate superior in command, neither BEYROLT, nor SIDON, nor ACRE would have yet fallen, and we would by this time have been in the thick of as " pretty a scrimmage" with France as we ever were under the Republic or the Empire. Dis obedience of orders—since the truth must be told—drove IBRAHIM Pacnn out of Syria, saved. the Prince of the Mountains from being utterly destroyed, the battalions which NAPIER had passed in the rear of the Egyptian Commander from being cut in pieces, and, in fact, the liss of all the British forces. Pity it was that NAPIE&S disobedience did not extend so far as to carry into effect his own brilliantly-conceived plan fbr cap. turing the whole army of InnAntm PACHA. And yet the great wonder is how any man, circum stanced and situated as he was, could have ac complished such glorious achievements. We have said before that the friends of Ad miral STOPFORD would best consult his fame aid his repose by avoiding any comparisons between himself and Commodore NAPIER as Naval Com manders. There is but one NAPIER in the .er vice—there are fifty STOPFORDS. NAPIER is the NELSON of his day—STOPFORD is an Admiral whose distinguished services are exhibited in the honourable flag at his mast-head. But these are unpleasant topics, and we advise the Standard not to provoke their further discussion. To Sir CHARLES NAPII:It they can hardly be less painful, on the score of good feeling, than to Sir ROBERT STOPPORD, for whom HE has ever expressed the kindliest feelings. According to our view a protecting duty on the production of corn is wholly unwarranted ; according to Mr. M'Cummen's view an Bs. duty is three-eighths too much, and is only considered to be expedient, because it defers to the mis takes of those who imagine corn to be very low priced abroad. The Ss. duty, therefore, does not meet the justice of the case, either according to those who declare against all protective duties, or those who, having examined the subject, con clude that agriculture should be protected to the extent of ss. per quarter. Now, as Lord JOUN RUSSELL'S proposition meets the views neither of the landlords nor the manufacturers, neii her of the absolute free traders nor of compromising expedient free traders, let us seriously ask, why is it proposed? The just and proper answer to this question i 3, because the Ministers suppose the Bs. duty is likely to receive the support of Parliament and of the constituent body. On the one hand it'is re presented that it is impossible for the country to stagger alongunder the present Corn-laws, some thing therelbre must be done; on the other, it is so ',- posed that the landlords will never consent to tile total abolition, and Bs. is selected, therefore, as the sum to which they may possibly consent, under the terror of otherwise seeing the law totally abolished. The Bs. duty is proposed, therefore, simply and purely because it is sup posed that it may receive the support of Parlia ment. If this be correct, it follows that Mini sters would as readily propose the total and im mediate abolition of all the Corn and Provision laws, as a new scale of duties, provided they were likely to receive the support of Parliament. It follows, also, that the electors may command the total abolition, and that it will be their fault if they do not now for ever extinguish the Corn laws. Let them only elect a majority of the House of Commons pledged to a 'total repeal, and resolved to take nothing less than a total re peal, and they will be as sure to obtain that as the Bs. duty. Hu Trait, then, for total repeai and if we cannot now command that, we may always fall back. on the Bs. duty, looking forward to a time when total repeal will be con ceded. There is a remarkable passage, we think, in the preface to Mr. M'CuLLocn's pamphlet, to which we yesterday adverted, that should inspire the total repealers with'fresh zeal:— " Those who are anxious," says that gentleman, " that this great question should be settled on fair and equitable principles, would do well not to neglect the present opportunity. One so favourable may not speedily occur. It is only when prices are moderate, and there is every prospect of a good crop, that this question can be properly treated. It is at once unsafe and unwise to trust too much to the public forbearance and judgment. The longer a reform of any abuse or grievance is delayed, the more sweeping it becomes in the end. Few persons, we believe, suppose, after what has recently occurred, that the Corn-laws can continue for any very considerable length of time on their present footing ; and the fair presumption is, that if they be not properly reformed and amended, they will be abolished altogether." The Corn-laws then, are an abuse and a griev ance, and the fair presumption is, that if they be not properly reformed or amended, they will be abolished altogether. And why, if they be an abuse and a grievance, should they not be aim. fished ? Why should we cherish abuses? Why content ourselves with half a felony? Why does Mr. M'CuLLoox anticipate the possi bility of these laws being abolished? He does not expect or fear that the law tbr punishing theft will be abolished, or that the law, under which the representatives of the people are elec ted—though it may be enlarged—will be hastily swept away. Mr. M'CuLLocn's anticipation that this grievance will be abolished altogether, if not reformed, is a striking, though, as it were, an ex torted evidence of the magnitude of the abuse• and that nothing can save it btr; that amend ment and relbrrn of which he is the advocate. A change, which will fix this grievance on the • country fnr some years longer, is, on this show ing, much to be deprecated; and the assurance given us by Mr. M'CuLLocx that if the law be not reformed it will be swept away, ought to make all the constituencies of the empire at least careless about its being reformed, and re solved at once totally to get rid of it. Let them have no fear that such a resolution will injure the Ministers. We will take it on ourselves to assert that they, as well as the cause of truth and justice, will be more effectually served by the people demanding the total extinction of the abuse and the grievance than by requiring that some of its enormities should be pared down, so that it may appear a little less unsightly, and, by exciting less horror, be preserved some time longer. The late case of Captain TUCKETT arid Mr. WORSLEY . itt the Mansion-House, in which Mr. Alder Man PIaIE refused to interfere, because the assault complained of was not committed in the City. of London, suggests the necessity of some new regulations to meet the peculiarities of railways. The English law is very strict in enforcing correct descriptions of all offences, and if an indictment charged a man with having com mitted an offence in Middlesex which was com mitted in Kent, he would escape, or at least be transferred to the county where the offence was committed, and where alone exists - a tribunal having the power to try him. Such accuracy is a great saftuard against false accusation, and it ought not to be lightly dispensed with. Ma gistrates, on the same principle, ought not to act where they have no jurisdiction, and as Mr. Alderman PIRIE has no jurisdiction at Green wich, which is in Kent, he is rather to be praised than censured for refusing to entertain the com plaint. But other offences much more serious than common assaults, may be committed in railway carriages; property may be stolen, life may be taken, and the crime may not be discovered till the arrival of the train at the end of the journey. During the transit the motion is so rapid, and the machine altogether is so huge, that it cannot be arrested by a constable, if one could be got at, to complain of an offence on the spot where it was committed. It must be very often impossible for persons to appeal to,the Magistrates in whose jurisdiction an offence may be committed, even if it were possible to ascertain it when inclosed in a railway carriage. Such circumstances sug gest an alteration ; arid Magistrates who have Jurisdiction at either end of a line, or at any of the intermediate stations, should probably be authorised to take cognizance of all the offences committed in the carriages at any part of the line. The persons who travel by railways must have, as well as other persons, the common and general security given by law. With respect to the particular case, about which communications have been sent to us, we beg to decline offering any opinion. Mr. Alder man Pram evidently supposed that Captain TUCKETT would not make a wanton assault, and probably he placed more confidence in the asser tions of Captain TUCKETT and his friends than in those of Mr. WoasLEv'. and his witness. The charge of a wanton assault committed from that insulting, overbearing spirit which is sometimes found in youLT military men, requires to be fully inquired into ; and we should hope that Mr. WORSLEY will be encouraged by the support of his friends to institute an investigation. Slch rudeness as he describes ought not to pass un punished. But giving no opinion on the parti cular case, we refer to it in order to draw atten tion to the peculiarities of railroads, in respect to the jurisdiction of Magistrates, as it must, in many cases, be impossible to fix the commis sion of an offence, during transition, in any one county. Monday being observed as a holiday in France very feW of the Paris iournals were published, and those which have reached us merely an nounce the execution of the regicide DARNIIis. Consecrated as Monday was to religions obser vances in Catholic countries, the French Govern ment scrupled not to sanctify it by an oblation of human blood, as if it followed, not the com memoration of the Ascension of a merciful and all-forgiving Redeemer, but the kindling of the flesh-consuming fires on the altars of Moloch ! An eye-witness of the execution relates that when DAttmEs was brought to the foot of the guillotine a conversation of some four minutes' conversation took place between him and the executioner, and that had he then consented to make any revelations his lite ,could have been spared. If this be su DAIIMES was decal& wed, not because he attempted the :Kiu•,•'s life, but because he declined to consign supposed participators in his guilt to the block. His ci ime was his fidelity to his wretched accomplices. His silence, and not his treason, cost him his life. Well, abandoned, hardened wretch as he was, we would not have his blood, legally as it has been shed, upon our head or hands, for the crown of France ! His guilt was undoubted, but his trial by the Court of Peers was a mockery, and a disgrace to a civilised country. Baron PAs- QUIER, the President, inure resembled in his conduct during the trial a matador at a Spanish 'bull-baiting, than a grave and impartial J udge holding in his hands the balance in which wa3 to be weighed the fate of a fellow-creature. But this is so akin to the whole system of trying pri soners in France, that it excites no surprise among our Gallic neighbours. In England, the presiding Judge is, de facto, counsel for the pri soner, and never sutlers him either to be brow beaten or hurried into dangerous admissions by the Crown prosecutor; in France, on the con trary, all the ingenuity of the Judge is exercised to assist the prosecutor in entrapping the unfor tunate accused. There impartiaiity in a J udge is rarely witnessed, and a leaning towards the pri soner never. 6{ A passenger on board one of ' the last steamers from Al. Bier:," says the Toulonnaise, informs us that the Spanish Government is sending troops into the Balearic islands, and especiaiiy to Pcrt Maht.n. The garrisons of these islands are, it is said, to be put on a war footing, on the suggest VII. as it is supposed, of England, who is apprehensive of seeing art Mahon occupied, sooner or later, by the French." The send ing of troops is confirmed by the Madrid papers. A letter from Paris, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that the King of the French had promised the northern courts ih ,t, as soon as Espartero should have been declared liegeot of Spain, Don Caries should be liberated from his detention at hourges. The letter also states that efforts are making to effect a matrimonial alliance between the Duke d'Aumale and Queen Isabella, but that the northern courts will not consent to her marriage with a French prince, and desire that she should espouse the eldest son of Don ';:strlos. M. de Bellemare, the delegate of the French inhabitants of La Plata, arrived on the 28th at Havre. He comes from Esg- Isnd, where he has been on account of the negotiations pending between the French and English Governments, in older to offer their joint mediation to the republics of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. —Journal du Havre. The Seutinelle des _Pyrenees of the. 27th, announces that Jose Soroa, formerly Governor of Irun, under the Carlists, has just been arrested at Bayonne, and lodged in the prison of that town. A Spanish priest, whose influence is well known, has also been arrested. It seems that the greatest vigilance is ex ercised with respect to all the Spaniards who go to Bayonne. The Gazette du Dauphine, a legitimist paper, published at Grenoble, informs us that an advocate, a notary, and a coun sellor, who were suppiised to have been acquainted with the letter of M. Simon Dither, previous to its publication, have been summoned, as well as the printer, to appear betore the examining judge, in order to be interrogated. Tile same wiper informs us that several advocates have likewise been sum moned.— Le Constituitonnel. SPAIN. The Madrid Journals are to the 24th. In the sitting of he Chamber of Deputies on the 23d, an address from the Munici pality of Burgos, relative to the allocution of the Pope on the affairs of Spain, was referred to the Committee of Petitions. Inthe same sitting a proposal was read, recommending that the Government should g i ve its attention to the indemnities to be granted to those places which have been p!undttrett and burnt by the factious. This proposal was ad o p ted immedi ately. The President of the Conned said that he thought it useless to discuss the subject, because the Governmenti was ns dined to attend to this affair as soon as possible. Thanks to the repeated entreaties of Espartero, Senor Chacon, ex-Minister-of-War, has accepted the appointment of Captain-General of Madrid. The transactions in the Five per Cents. am o unted to 27,200,1.00 teals, and were negotiated at 27 5-16ihs for cash, and at 28 at 60 days.

Not only natives of Candia, but other Greeks hasten to that island to assist their brethren in their great undertaking. The same fermentation exits in Thessaly, and many Greek subjects go likewise to that province. Even some soldiers on the frontier have de serted. A similar excitement prevails in Macedonia, end it is affirmed - that all these insurrections in Samos, Candia, Thessaly, and Macedonia are directed by the same club. Collections of money are likewise made (of course in secret), and we may soon expect important events. The Conrrier says that Mr. Baries, a Greek from Pesth, who is now here, has subscribed for • 159 shares in the National Bank. The official paper says, in praise of this man, that his name appears in all enterprises tending to the improvement 41 the country. The Government has likewise received from other quarters offers to take shares, and it may therefore be expected :hat the National Bank will shortly commence its operations.

A numerous meeting was held at St. Luke's, the day before yesterday, and some spirited resolutions were adopted. Clerkenwell had be fore met. Why has the rich and populous parish of Is lington no voice in the great question ? When will it imitate the good example set by its neighbours ? It ought not, pious and religious as it is, to be the last in protesting against the legal murder committed by the Corn-laws. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, Mast 31.—The Journal of this town gives the particulars of the journey of the Prince de Joinville, who went, on Wednesday evening, from the Hague to Rotterdam. From Rotterdam he went in one of his Majesty's steam-boats to Flushing, where he inspected every thing worthy of noti..e, particularly the dock and the arsenal. His Royal Highness having examined the naval establishment with the greatest at• tention, and left a considerable sum to be distributed among the poorer workmen, set out on his return to this place, stop ping a short time at Delft, to view the tomb of Prince William 1. in the new church; on Saturday morning early to view• the exhibition of pictures ; then went to the country-seat. of his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, and afterwards dined at Court, to take leave of their Majesties ani the Royal Family, on Sunday morning at six o'clock. His Royal Highness left the Hague, for Vraruyk, to view the great sluices, and then he proceeded to the Helder, where he was to embark the same evening on board the Belle Poule. His Royal Highness was accompanied to the Helder by the French Ambassador, who has been constantly in attendance on him. VIENNA, MAY 22.—Though it was affirmed some days ago that Prince Metternich would, at all events, go, at the end of June, to his seat Johannisburg, on the Rhine, with the in tention of passing the whole summer there, it is said that the 'plan is entirely changed, and that the Prince will not go to the Rhine, but to his estates in Bohemia. I give you the report as such, and likewise the reasons for this change in the Pi ince's plans. It is affirmed that the King of Prussia has expressly desired a longer interview with Prince Aletternich, and ex. pressed a wish that it might not be on the Rhine, but in Bohe mia, it being his Majesty's intention to visit Marianbud.— Dutch Papers, June I.

Archipelago speak very positively of considerable disturbances in Southern Macedonia. The Christians appear to be every where in motion, and to strive to cbta;n an improvement in their condition. The chief rendrzvous of the Macedonian Rayas is said to be the narrow slip of land of Mount Athos, where they were endeavouring to make the position, already strong by nature, impregnable both en the sea and land side. The insurgents are said to receive all possible support from the convents, and it was affirmed that several Monks have joined them. It is well known that Mount Athos is inha bited by four or five thousand Monks, who reside in about thirty consents. A person named Kraratas,o is spoken af as one of the chief leaders of the Christians.—Allgerneine Zei tang, May 28. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Until something definite is known respi cling the conse quences of the Conservative attempt to wrench the Govern ment from her Majesty's present advisers, the jobbers in the public securities, and even those disposed to make bone fide sales or purchases are at a loss how to act. The question, then, is not how far the depression in the funds may extend, but rather when the market sli'll again become animated, for we 'nest bear in mind, that frequently the effects of anticipation exceed those of the reality, and the suspense in which all c;asses are kept by the political conflicts of parties in the House of Com mons, may perhaps ultimately turn out to have exercised more influence upon prices than even a dissolution would have done. To day the funds were not lower, but there was an absence of activity. Consols for immediate transfer were to-day quoted 614 to 90, and for the account 90i to 904.

Business continues very unsatisfactory in almost every de partment; the acc:nnits from the manufacturing rEstricts we also unusually discouraging ; and the wholesale houses is the City complain of a faking off in the demand far manufactures to an extent quite unprecedented ; in addition to which, a most ruinous system has been commenced and grown to an alarming extent in the disposal of the stocks of bankrupts, by official as • signees, who now make out an inventory of the insolvent's stock at cost prices ; and then invite several large establish ments to put in tenders, disposing of the same to those that offer the least discount, instead of selling publicly ; and we are informed that some sales have recently been effected this way at SO to 45 per cent. discount, thereby depriving the manufac turer of a (ance of disposing of his goods at remunerating prices, and that, possibly, with goods which he himself sup. plied the bankrupt, and had never been paid for ; therefore the sooner this system is put an end to the better. (From the Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE - 1.--LOur market to-day has been again very inanimate, scarcely 1,000 bales being purchased by - the trade.

Her captaio, Bowman, is said to have reported that on the :28th of March, when off the Azores, he saw at a great distance the hull of a large ship, dismasted, which he took to be a man of war, and that about the same time he saw fragments of spars, casks, &c., floating on the water.

In the Commercial Markets the chief attention of the mei-charts is directed to the state and prospects of the Tea trade, which has been put again into a state of feverish ex citement by the news received from China of the recom mencement of hostilities with the Chinese. There has not, however, been so great an amount of actual business done a: might have been anticipated. In fact, the dealers have not yet got over the loss they were compelled to incur by the previous unfavourable intelligence from Canton. Holders are not di-posed to sell at the present advance which is about 3d. per lb. The stock on hand is not equal to a year's consump tion, and therefore prices may be expected to go higher. The deliveries for home consumption and exportation for the last three months have been equal to forty million pounds per annum. In the other principal Mercantile Markets there is not much alteration to notice. The West India. Produce Markets are flat. Sugars continue to maintain very high prices. It having been officially intimated to the trade that there is no chance of an alteration in the Coffee Duties this year, business seems carried on with less fluctuation than in some other articles. We are overwhelmed this morning p ith advices from the United States brought by three sailing vessels, and we are sorry to say that brother Jonathan, from all accounts, is in terribly hot water. It is to be feared the American trade here will suffer by the failures and dishonesty of the Banks, which must drag down many of the merchants on the other side of the Atlantic. Business both in stocks and produce, is materially checked by the protracted debate in the House of Commons. To-day the Funds look very dull.

A meeting of the electors of Marylebone, resident in the - district of Kentish-town, was held last evenin g at the Assem liy-house, to take measures for securing the return or two staunch Reformers to represent the borough in the next Par liament. The Chair was taken at eight o'clock by Mr. Houghton, one of the Churchwardens of the pariah. There were at this time about 400 electors present, aid the Commodore, upon entering the room, was hailed with the most vehement and long-continued cheering. • The CHAIRMA N congratulated his friends and neighbours upon the prospects with which their approaching contest with the Tories was opened. They were about to fight the good fight once more, and to encounter the enemies of free dom in the field of war, in which they would have the assistance of the Gallant Englishmen who had already fought the batles of England and of freedom in other parts of the world, and had earned the title of the Nelson of the age._ ( Great cheering.) That Gallant Officer was present, and would state to this meeting, as he had done in other districts of the borough, what were the principles on which be asked for their suffrage.—( Hear, hear. ) Sir CHARLES NAPIER then rwe, and was greeted with a universal burst of applause, which lasted severat minutes. He again explained his views in favour of the Ballot, without which, he repeated, an extension of the Suffrage would be use less, as was clearly proved in the case of the borough of Mary lebone, in which out of 38,000 persons qualified to vote, only 8,0130 had ever gone to the poll, the rest being deterred from exercising their right by the want of any protection against the persecution of the wealthy Tories.— ( Hear, hear.) He also repeated his declarations in favour of the shortening the duration of Parliaments, any expresed his determination to give every support in his power to the propo sitions of her Majesty's Ministers respecting the duties on corn, timber, and sugar.—(Loud and rel,eateecheering. ) He had seen that some oi his !' iends" thought fit. to represent him in a public advertisement as the supporter of flogging in the army and navy, and of Poor-law bastiles.—( Great laugh ter.) Now, it was very well known that he hi,d declare dat every meeting at which he was present in the borough, that no man was more averse to flogging than he was, and that no man had done more than he had done to put it down, as far as the present system of manning and governing the army and navy would admit.—(Cheers.) As to the Poor law hostiles, it was also well known that he was an enemy to hostiles of every kind—(Cheers) —and so far was he from wishing to shut up the poor in,workhouses, that he had always insisted upon the right of the worn-out poor to be received in those places, as in places of refuge and shelter, to which their past services entitled them as much as the inmates of Green wich went entitled to that asylum, with perfect liberty to go out and take their exercise and enjoyment as they pleased.—( Re peated cheering.) In reference to some observations which had appeared in some of the newspapers respecting alleged differences between him and Admiral Stopford during his command in the Mediterranean, the Gallant Officer deried that there was any ground far the allegations so far as he was concerned. His explanation gave the greatest satisfaction to the meeting, and when he sat, down there were given, in the most hearty manner, " Three cheers for Napier." Mr. A. JOHNSTON then said he had great pleasure in pro posing Commodore Sir C. Napier as one of the representatives of the borough of i\larylebone at the ensuing election • and he bail no doubt that tie electors present would re a dily pledge themselves, and f-ithfully redeem their pledge, to use their hest exertions to secure his re urn as a worthy colleague of their tstemeed reptestntative Sir Benjamin Hall. He con cluded by moving a resolution to . the effect that the meeting approved of, and would support, S r C. Napier and Sir B. Hall as representatives of the borough at the next election.— (Cheers. ) Mr. Wrecox had taken time to consider whether or not he should support the resolution just read. He had carefully come to the opinion that the question about to be put to issue in the next election was—whether a few should govern the nation for their own purposes, or that a few should be com pelled to govern for the good of the people?—(Cheers)—and he felt that whatever difference of opinion there might exist amongst the Reformers, it was the duty of individuals to me rge small differences in the abstract to secure unity of action._ (Cheers. ) If they did not act on that principle, they would be easily defeated, through their division, by any small body who, like the Tories, would act with singleness of purpose and unity of action.—( Applause.) Tho questions of the Ballot and Universal Suffrage were still subjects of much difference ; but of this there could be but one opinion, that all those who were desirous of the free exercise of the franchise, by what ever means that was to be secured, and all who were desirous of carrying out the representative principle, ought to unite in exertion to exclude from power the Tories, who would only use it for their own advantage. It was their interest to support Whiggery, which, under whatever form it appeared, had this grand principle of republicanism—that those who exercised the powers of the Gorernment should do so, not far themselves, but fur the people, and should be controlled by the will of the people.—(Cheers.) Having pronounced a warns eulogium upon the personal and political character of the can- didate before the meeting, he conclade4 amidst vehement ap plause, by seconding the resolution. Dr. Coox TAYLOR, in an eloquent speech, which was ve hemently applauded, supported the resolutio t, which was car ried by an immense majority, only seven hands b.'ing held up against it. Sir C. NAPIER observed that his " seven friends" seemed to stick, fur he found them present in the same numbers, and no more, at every meeting he attended in the borough.—( Great laugher, and cries of "ll:at's true ; they have no more.") After a discussion of a merely personal nature, although very mach protracted, between one of the ",EVEN" and a gentleman named Portioner, who accused the gentleman (Mr. iroung), with whose opposition they threaten Sir.
