MORNING EDITION NAPIER FOR MARYLEBONE. THE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the ELECTION of COMMODORE SIR CHARLES NAPIER MEET DAILY at the ROOMS of the REFORM and REGISTRATION ASSOCIATION, No. 62, Warren street, Tottenham-court-road. 10Electors are earnestly requested to enrol their Names in ad dition to the numerous recorded Supporters of the Gallant Commodore. May 24, 1841. By erdei, JOSEPH IVIkIF Y. J-Tnn. SPeroary. TO THE ELECTORS OF MAR YLEBONL. GENTLEMEN, As a Dissolution of Parliament must soon take take place, I again offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the honour of REPRESENTING this BOROUGH. When I presented myself to you in 1837, I fully ex plained what my opinions were. I referred you to my votes in favour of the Extension of the Suffrage, Shortening the Dura tion of Parliaments, Freedom of Voting, and the Repeal of those Clauses in the Reform Act which diminish the Elective French se. I stated also that I had supported the Repeal of the Windove Tax, a Reduction of the Public Expenditure. the Abolition of Church-rates, and a liberal system of Educa tion for the People. I have upheld these opinions during the ten years that I have sat in the House of Commons, and I still sdhere to them. . There are now other important subjects which occupy public attention—l allude to those great questions of Commercial 'Reform. e , pecially the Repeal of the Corn-laws, for which (although a landowner) I have invariably voted, and which, notwithstanding the present temporary obstruction, must even tually be attained. Since I have had the honour of representing this important bo rough, I have dune my utmost to secure to you the continuance of those Local Acts which place the government of the parishes in the hands of the rate-payers, free from any interference of the Poor-law Commissioners, whose continuance in office I still con.4cler as unnecessary, and whose rules and regulations have been too often marked with severity and injustice. In conducting the local affairs of this great portion of the Metro polis. I have frequently had the satisfaction of receiving the thanks of the inhabitants ; and I now come forward a candidate for your continued support, in the full and entire belief that as my conduct upon public measures has remained unchanged, I shall again receive the honour of your suffrages, and occupy that distinguished position at the close of the ensuing election which I held at the termination of the contest in 1837. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant, 65, Wimpole-street, June 5, 1841. B. HALL. WELLINGTON MILITARY MEMORIAL. The Sub-Committee held a Meeting on Saturday, the 22th ret.,'at Mr. Wyatt's Studio, for the purpose of inspecting the Equestrian Group, and highly approved of the progress made by Mr. Wyatt towards its completion.

It is, therefore, particularly requested that all parties who intend availing themselves of this opportunity to have their names inserted in the list about to appear on the 18th instant, will not delay sending in their names beyond Tuesday, the 15111 instant, in consequence of the time necessarily occupied in making the list complete for the public papers.

A MERIC AN NEWS. • • .; t ,4• , 0 0,1 *or% S. • FIVE DAYS LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. We have an arrival at this port to-day from New York, with papers five days later than those previously received by the Roscoe. They are to the 16th ult., and were brought by the Stephen Whitney, which has made her passage in twenty days. She has forty passengers on board. By this arrival we have nothing satisfactory respect ing the President steamer. These papers con tain a long examination at the British Consul's Office of Captain Bowman and mate of the Bri tish bark Recovery, who had reported that they had seen the wreck of the steamer on their passage from Bristol to New York. The evidence does not, f however, bear ou t the opinion previously entertained. There is a much more probable report made by the Captain of a vessel from Havre to New York, who states, that on the 16th of March he passed several fragments of a wreck about which were a quantity of chains such as are used in the rig ging of a steamer. The case of M'Leod was to come on upon the day the Stephen Whitney sailed.. It excited the most intense interest at New York, and would probably occupy some lays. Cunard's steam-ship Britannia was advertised to sail on the 16th, but up to this hour she has •iot made her appearance off this port. It is generally onsid,cred,here that she would he de tained to bring out the decision on M'LEon's case, and the extreme punctuality in the arrivals of these ships certainly warrant such a conclu sion. She is quite full of passengers. Business at New York was rather brisk, and the late advance in the prices of American Stocks have been fully maintained. The ex change on England ranged at 71 to 71 per cent. premium, with a good business doing for the Britannia, by which almost all the letters and papers were despatched. Freights to Liverpool for cotton were 4 to per lb. United States Banks, remain stationary. We regret to state that the communication received by this packet does not hold out the slightest hope for the safety of the President. It is now three months since she left New York, and no intelligence that can be depended upon has been received from any quarter. The great debate and the great majority of ONE, will have no influence whatever on the fate of the Ministry or the country. It was altoge ther a sham fight, the real fight will take place at the hustings, and in the country at large. It abounded in personalities ; it contained a little constitutional lore ; but it is impossible for any ; :erson to perceive in it a ray of light to guide the community across the stormy sea on which it is now embarked. Lord STANLEY, indeed, violent and rash, assured the House of Commons that he and Sir ROBERT PEEL, cautious and timid, after seven years' most intimate and unreserved communication, candidly concurred on all political questions. Such an as_ surance, which delights the Tories, will be for the public a clue to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy. He was taunted with not explaining his views, but wherefore, since he and Lord STANLEY cordially concur, and since he zealously supported the Noble Lord's Bill for disfranchising all Ireland except the landlords? They both agree in en deavouring to deceive;. coerce, disfranchise, and starve down the people to the conveniency of the landlords, and no person, except one who wilfully shuts out the truth, can have the least doubt as to the policy of. the PEEL-STANLEY Cabinet, whenever it shall be formed. The principles will be those we have just stated, but the hot headed recreant Whig, to attain more securely his fatal ends, consents that those principles shall be brought into operation by the wily cun ning of his plausible ally. With the exception of this sudden flash across the darkness, which revealed the terrific danger which lies in our course, that five nights' debate was as little instructive for the people as any dis cussion that we ever remember. Nor is the de. cision of more value than the debate. A House of monopolists which had previously, by a con siderable majority, practically refused to confide in Ministers, did absolutely nothing by putting in words that which it had before exhibited by its deeds. True Sir ROBERT PEEL induced the monopolists also to say, that for the Mini sters to continue to hold office after having lost the confidence of the House, was at variance with the spirit of the Constitution . an assertion which the Ministers practically ad: milted both before and during the debate, by having formed a resolution to dissolve the Par liament and appeal to the people. If the Minis ters had persisted in holding office without ap_ pealing to the constituencies, there might hav e been some ground fur the motion, and some ground for making out a case, if possible, against it; but admitting that they mean to appeal from the monopolists to the public, there was no ground whatever for the discussion. It was an objectless mockery of the public, who are well aware that the only questions now at issue will be decided by the press and on the hustings. Much of the matter, too, was as futile, and as much a mockery of good sense, as was the dis cussion on the undisputed truth of the resolution. One of the great charges, for example, which the Tories brought against the Whigs, one of the most striking proofs which they urged of the weakness of the Government, was that many of their measures had been supported by the Tories themselves. After giving this support they re proached the Government with it, as if they were conscious that they had acted wrong. If the measures were proper, why should not the Tories praise the Government imp for them " roper why not e' If they were I themselves, instead of reproachine:;:ne Ministers? .,ndem n tthethuroouvgelrintmheenret-; a The Tory idea which pe_eepnsa• proach is, that it has by all along the b us i ness ' ‘o break ti: of the Opposition and these h- hands r". ,_ ...inest patriots claim cre di t at the al t h e public for not having broken it up w' ~en the Ministers acted so as to merit their ap probation, and deserve their confidence. : The Tories chuckle very much over their ma. 1 jority of one. We regret it, we admit, but be. cause it was notgreater. It would have been more creditable to the Ministers, a stronger assurance to the country that they are in downright ear nest, and that they and the monopolists have irre vocably broken, had the whole 36, or even 36 more, who refused to allow the. starving English to obtain cheap sugar, on the pretence that it might be the produce of slave labour, while they allow that sugar to be consumed on Mr. GLAD STONE'S estates, and for Mr. GLADSTONE'S profit, voted that they had no confidence in the anti monopoly Ministers. We expected, and we hoped that every Corn-law man would have de clared against the Ministry,- and would, one and all, have rallied round Sir ROBERT PEEL, SO that there could not, by any possibility, be a doubt in any man's mind of the principles of the two par ties. Far from being pleased that the majority was only one, we should have rejoiced had it been forty. W e have seen with mat satiafactionthe work • - ing then at Sheffield, Manchester,Liverpool;and T . other places, themselves with the C.-,r1.• law repeaters. We believe, both from what has occurred at late meetings in the metropolis, ault from what has fallen under our own personal oh servation, that the working men here are fully - I prepared not only to coalesce with the repeaters, but to exert all their energies in favour of a tonii repeal. We rejoice at that, because, though wi may have contributed but a little to bring it about, it is an object we have continually desired to accomplish. As a step to obtaining the franchise, as a means of putting down some of their most virulent enemies, the Chartists could not take a wiser course than to unite as one man to demand the total repeal of the Corn-laws. Just in proportion as that is a rational and measure, certain persons, who are indebted for their power and their wealth to deluding the people, will exert themselves to hinder the Chartists from making common cause with the League to put down the knavery ofj the rent-owners. - Nor is it unexampled, that they should find tools and traitors amongst the working classes themselves. For their sake, on whose incorruptibility depends the salvation of the country, we regret to say that the rent interest has succeeded in seducing some of its victims to become the ministers of its corruption. We cannot doubt, after reading the correspondence on this subject ; which we have received, and after reading the statements of the Manchester Guardian, that the pretended Chartists who go about promoting the success of the Tories at elections and disturb ing meetings of the Corn-law repealers, are the hired and promised-to-be-paid tools of the rent : interest. They are the CASTLES, the OLIVERS, and the REYNOLDS, of the Tories out of office, who, being excluded from power, and unable now to disguise their villany under the Royal robes, with equal hypocrisy use the ragged mantle of democracy for the same purpose. The pretended friends and rep resentat i ves o f the working claSses, mentioned by our Corre spondents, are . their. enemies and traitors. Instead of being respected, they should be treated as spies. The Liverpool Chartists, we see, have disowned the disturbers. Too long have the people trusted, and too often have they been betrayed ; and it will be their own fault, after this exposure and warning„ if they are once more deceived. Let us remind the working classes favourable to the Charter, that during the sitting of the Convention it was stated that the Tories had cor rupted some of the pretended Chartists. The suspicion of treachery, therefore, is not new. Perhaps the very men who are now receiving the gold of the Corn-law Dukes, contributed then to make the Chartists appear ridiculous. We ad vert to this distinction, because we will not blame the whole body of the Chartists flu• the iniquity of these hired spies. The industrious classes cannot do better than follow the excellent example which has been set by the.meetings at Manchester and. Liverpool. TEe language of the operatives in the latter, was exactly described by Mr. J.l.ldcrman SHELL, as conveying, in terms which it was impossible to surpass, sound doctrines, great principles, and the most correct views of society. If the industrious classes, generally, follow these examples, and exhibit a noble spirit of union, their aristocratic and priestly enemies will soon tremble in their shoes. " The glorious meeting," says the Liver pool Alercury," in Clayton-square, on Wednes day evening, shows that the working-classes are Lave to the importance of the approaching struggle, as it affects themselves. Let the middle classes, the merchants, traders, and shopkeepers, only display the same spirit and intelligence on the day of battle, and the victory is certain. Above all, let it ever be remembered that the contest is not merely one between Whig and Tory, but between monopoly and free trade, and that the popular war-cries should be cheap bread! cheap sugar !! and, down with the Coro laws !!!' " The wanton and cruel despotism which for the last six years has been exercised by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, has at reached such a pitch that the • Legislature, as an act of justice, and, still more, of mercy, will be compelled to interfere. Our English readers have no idea of the suffering to which the great body of the people, and nearly one half of the Established clergy are subjected by the unholy agitation and the ruthlesspersecution that now pre vail in a country long celebrated for the moral and religious conduct of its inhabitants, and the mild yet efficient discipline exercised by the Church. For the last hundred years, we will venture to say, no Church in Christendom has done so much good, no clergy have been more exem plary in their conduct, and no people have ac quired, as it were by universal consent, such a high character for many of those qualities that form the ornament of civilized life. That Church which has been one of the instruments in the hand of Providence for regenerating a barbarous nation, is now torn with dissensions, it is at war with the State, and at war, too, with the great body of the people, and unless restrained by the civil power, will speedily complete its own do struction. Has the State, from which it de rives its existence as an Established Church, no duty to perform on such a fearful oe . casion ? Can the Legislature which endowed the Establishment stand by while this use fill institution is pulled down by the hands of mad men ? During the short period often days allowed by law for their annual meeting, the General Assembly, have deposed ten clergymen. Seven of these were deposed at once, not for heresy, or immorality, or any one offence, but for disobe. dience to an act of Assembly, which the Supreme Civil Court in Scotland and the House of Lords pronounced illegal. Two others were expelled the Church on the same grounds; and a third was expelled ostensibly for heresy, but in reality for defeating the intrigues of the Non-Intrusionists in his own pari.h. One hundred and twenty-five members voted against the deposition of the seven ministers of Strathbogie, most of them signed a protest against the decision, and further ii.timated that they would hold communion as usual with their persecuted brethren, and treat the decision, in all respects, as a nullity' Unless steps, therefore, be taken to stay the plague, those hundred and twenty-five be deposed n ex t session, f e l ' , .rcry`inen must -°": 'the holy inquisitors have no bowels o right of ie` compassion; they claim th e —terpreting the will o f G OD ; i n t h e sac :ed name of CHRI,-T they execute their deeds of vengeance, and with impious presumption assert that " they are ratified in heaven." These atrocious proceedings have naturally excited the utmost horror in Scotland. Men of all s p e a n r t ti a es ere d . en cl ou n n w ce e t d h n e e m sda a 3 s , ( a m d e is o g f r t a i c ie e l t a o rg th es e t parned mbuorsgthAssembly Rooms, to respectable tookplace in tnee th ti e ngs- ever held in Edin burgh againstxpress the conduct sympathy t protesth th e e sti G if e e n re e r r s a , l anri Assembly . Lord DUNFERMLINE, the late Speaker of the House of Commons, was in the Chair, and was supported by more than 600 gentlemen of all shades of politics. Party spirit was forgotten in this great work of charity, and universal indig nation expressed against these disturbers of the once happy and peaceful Church of Scotland. Lord DUNFERMLINE, evidently suftering under great distress for the afflicted state of the Church, made a powerful speech on the occasion, and pointed out in these words the painful condition to which her clergy have been reduced : " They are called upon to perform many important judicial d u ti es , i nvolving important rights of individuals, under a con v i ct i on, perhaps urder the certainty, that if they go one way they will be punished by the Church, and that if th e y. go another way th e y will be punished by the Civil Court. Is not this a most cruel and un just test to apply to the courage and virtue of any class of men ? From what class of are you to expect a firm, faithful, and impartial performance of their duty,, when they hav e before ,them the almost certainty 01 punishment; and possibly the degradation of their station, and the sagificke of the best and dearest.tn-. terests,of 'their families? What other Off Vet will this have on the ._ naigers of the. .Chureh-of:geotland? It appears Wine that one of its most painful And distrewing effects is the tendency it has to , if it is character of the clergymen 0 .! th e ch lir ,•h Such persons live under a double despotism—thy have 'no means of avoiding the pains and penalties of law but by receding or shrinking from the performance of their duty—by stooping to every manner of equivocation-6y shuffling by every discreditable w have no existence at present, but which certainly will grow up if this irate of thing:; is maintained and pt:r, Sir JAMES GIBSON CRAIG also addressed the meeting, not with the mildness of the Noble Chairman, but with the ardour and vigour which have characterized him during his long life when resisting oppression. " I never knew an instance," said he, " even in the most atrocious case that ever came before the General Assembly, where sentence was passed on persons who had committed the most immoral acts—l never knew case where sympathy was not expressed for such pers, - ,12 —where regret was not professed to be felt. But in this case there was no sympathy. The Rev. Doctor who moved the resolution, came forward, and in the most cold-blooded, heartless manner—(Tremendous cheering) —moved a vote of deposition against these gentlemen, because they had dared to obey the law." The sentiments expressed at the meeting were but a specimen of the general feeling in Scot land. Never, on any one occasion, was there such a wonderful unanimity among the writers of the public press as on this subject. With the exception of one or two newspapers, and one of these has sprung up during the Non- Intrusion mania, all are opposed to the conduct: of the dominant party. We have eleven Si.otch papers of last week before us, Whig, Tory, and Radical, and they vie with one another in de nouncing the cold-blooded, heartless inquisitors , . Our readers will judge for themselves from the extracts given in another column. We trust that the Legislature will not lag behind public opinion. If no immediate Act is passed t.o re lieve the people of Scotland from this thraldom, we confidently trust that the subject will at least b.: brought forward both in the Houses of Lordsand Commons without delay, and that an expression of their sentiments will convince these men that the -safety of the Church of Smtland is not to be risked with impunity. The Assembly, towards the conclusion of its proceedings, appointed a day in the next mouth to be observed as a day of fasting, humiliation, aud prayer. The hypocrisy and malignity of the;, men are exceeded only by their i►►►pudence. Frightened by the arm of the civil power, which they set at defiance, they also appointed a depu tation to proceed to London and lay their ca.e. before our most gracious SOVEREIGN. Though in their wild rhapsodies they boast that CHRIST is the only head of their Church, they now flee to the head of the English Church for protec tion, and vainly imagine that the QUEEN will shield rebels. We know not what answer Lord MELBOURNE will give to their application f admission to tile presence of the SOVEREIGN, but we know that if he were. to address them is words like the following, he would acquire the gratitude of maw; thousands of her MAJESTY'S subjects You made a law for your own sel fish pur''..oses. You appealed for a confirmation of tlAt law to the highest legal authorities of the realm—your appeal was unanimously rejected— you still obstinately resist these authorities, and punish your unuffending brethren for yielding obedience to them ; and till you repent in sack cloth and ashes for the great calamities you have brought on the Church of Scotland, her Ma jesty can hold no conference with you." Sir R. PEEL has declared more than once in the House of Commons that the prosperity of manufactures is a better security for the prospe rity of agriculture than the Corn-laws. That both rise andfall together, and that their prosperity is mutual and reciprocal, is an opinion as od, in England at least, as the time of CHARLES the Se cond. All Anti-Corn-law men accordingly main tain that the repeal of the Corn-laws, whatev,f might be its effect on the rent interest, or (o! mortg,agees,would be as beneficial to the workin:4 agriculturists as to the manufacturers. Such are the doctrines and hopes of the Anti-Corn-law party, and they would not injure or destroy any part of the community. Not so the Tories and Corn-law monopolists. They would, and they avow it, destroy our nufactures. We formerly called attention to tl4 suggestion in the Quarterly Review, that hia our towns might be destroyed without injury t the community. In the same spirit the Standar ofSaturday said, " ENGLAND WOULD BE AS GREAT AND POWERFUL, AND ALL USEFUL ENGLISHME:-: WOULD BE AS RICH AS THEY ARE, THOUGH ONE RUIN SHOULD ERGULPH ALL THE MANUFACTURING TOWNS AND DISTRICTS IN GREAT BRITAIN." ThOSc who think so, and at the same time write din tribes against the cotton lords, would, if the;, had the power, destoy our manufacturing; town , and manufacturing population. It is with malicc prepense, therefore; that such men maintain tile Corn-laws. They aim at starving the manu facturing population out of existence. How different are the principles, and how different the results of free trade and of monopoly One is all benignity and kindness, cement ing individuals and nations in bonds of peace and amity, and producing ease, abund ance, and happiness. The other is all hatred and cruelty, pitting class against class, and nation against nation, and producing constraint, poverty, famine, and misery. The one is of Heaven heavenly, the other is of Hell and i, hellish. Between these two systeths, betweer good and evil, between life and death, between liberty, genuine liberty, and cruel tyranny, the people are now called on to choose. However the ignorant, deluded, priest-ridden, and land lord-led serfs on the land! may choose, the in habitants of manufacturing towns cannot choose monopoly without sanctioning that destruction to which the Corn-law Tories have vowed them. The meeting of the working men at Liverpool, the speeches of the Chairman, of Mr. It THBONE, Mr. JONES, and others, require the attention o the pUblic. In particular the aristocracy and our leading politicians ought to read them, in order to understand, if possible, what is going on the minds of the great multitude. What the men at Liverpool express is felt, we believe, by the great majority of the working classes; and i• puzzles us to conceive how our present systeth can be preserved, without great alterations. Are the multitude to be ruled in conformity to, or in spite of, their opinions ? Hitherto they have been favourable to the system. Fifty years have not yet - elapsed since they were nearly one and all Church and King men. They were ruled then in conformity to their opinions. Since then their minds have under gone a gradual change, and now such a thing as a staunch Church and King man is al most unknown amongst the working classes. We ask the West Indians, we supplicate the aristo cracy, we implore the Bishops, to ponder over the sentiments of the Liverpool operatives, be nefited as they have been by numerous high Church meetings, held in that town, and inquire of their own hearts and consciences whether there is any possibility, we do not say probabi lity, of maintaining their monopolies and privi leges except by the sword, even if that be possible, and by establishing a ruthless, military tyranny ? Freedom, perfect freedom—and ty ranny, perfect tyranny—are now be;,ught into collision. The mind cannot enter into a com promise between these opposing . principles—the moral • light and darkness of society. One or other must conquer; and we say, though the West Indians, the Peers, and the Bishops perish in the conflict, success to freedom ! The general election movement has commenced in the borough of Marylebone with spirit. There are three Liberals and two Tories in the field, and we call upon the electors to exercise their judgment in the great crisis which is now approaching. About NAPIER there can be no doubt. He is a straightforward sailor, who has never been defeated, who has spread the fame of the British Navy into every quarter of the globe, and who now comes forward'as the Liberal candidate for one of the roost populous boroughs in the kingdom. One of his-celleagues , has heen tried and not found wanting. Sir BENJAMIN been in i'arlitinient for ten year's, an with the exception .s one or tom-- oe,;asi,; s he _ . aiways been found- in the Howe of Commons voting the cause of the people. He is a man that can ba trusted ; he is a landowner, and interested in keeping up the price of corn, but he has invariably voted for the repeal'of the obnoxious Corn-laws. We are not aware that he has, on any important question, swerved from his duty as a legislator ; he is attentive to the local interests of the borough, and we confidently trust that he and the gal lant friend of 'MEHEMET AU will be returned at the next election. Letters and Papers from Madrid of the 27th ult. have been received. On the 16th there was some rioting at Seville, but on the appearance of the Captain-General at the head of some troops, order was restored. The Minister of Finance was actively labouring to raise funds. At a meeting of capitalists, which took place in his hotel on the evening of the 25th, he applied to them for an advance of 60,000,000 reals, on the mortgage of two branches of the public revenue. The capitalists re plied that this proposition required some consideration on their part, and that they deemed it advisable to confer on the subject with the Directors of the Bank of San Fernando. The Four per Cents. were done at 23 for cash, and the Five per Cents. at 27* for cash, and at 27k and 13-16 at 60 days. The transactions in the hitter amounted to 13,000,000 reals. The Coupons to be capitalized sold for 22 at 60 days ; and the posterior debt bearing no interest at 5i for cash, and at 61 at 60 days. The Paris Journals of Thursday hare all reached us, but they are wholly destitute of political news of any interest. The following are Extracts from them : We have a letter from Auvergne, Which says— " Tax-collectors are sent into the houses for the pur pose of counting the doors within-side, a thing never be. fore heard of, and the invention of which belongs en tirely to the cheap Government. These agents make their examination in a manner of which you can have no idea. All the inhabitants of our country are in a ferment at this measure, the consequence of which it is easy to foresee ; the discontent of the people has risen to the greatest height since the state of the finances has been fully known. M. Aubry Foucauld, editor of the Gazette de France, was summoned yesterday before the examining Judge, for having inserted the letter of Mr. Simon Didier. Thus there are already nine Journals implicated in the affair of Grenoble.—Gazette de France. The editors of the Paris journals, who republished on the 27th of May the letter of M. Didier, appeared yes varday before Mr. Boulioche the examining judge. The Commerce says, "We are informed that M. Simon Didier has been summoned before the examining judge and interrogated, not as a person inculpated, but as a witness. It is added that the Magistrate confined himself to some inquiries respecting the letter.. The Quotidienne observes, that several journals which have published M. Didier's letter, have not been seized. .—Le Constitutionnel. FLOODS.—The waters in the Seine have risen within the last few days rather suddenly, and assumed the yel low and turbid complexion of winter ; though there has been very little rain at Paris for a considerable time. On Monday the level by the scale at the Pont Royal was at 1 metre 60 centimetres, and yesterday morning was at 2 metres 40 centimetres, making a rise of 80 centimetres (2 feet 74- inches English.) If this increase should go on, whicfi, however, is not probable, the wharfs would be covered and business impeded. It is the consequence of violent storms in the South. Bargemen recently arrived from Burgundy state that the meadows of the Cote d'Or and the Yonne, are in part overflowed, and so much damaged, that in many places the hay-harvest is consi dered as entirely lost ; many of them having been already mown, and the crops washed away. A letter from Tirlemont, in the Observateur, of Brus sels, states that, on the night of Thursday last, that place was visited by a dreadful thunder-storm. The rain fell in torrents for upwards of three hours, and the town was inundated. Several cattle-sheds were washed away with the animals which they contained, one farmer losing flve•eows Several of the inhabitants were compelled to leave their dwellings with the greatest precipitation to avoid being drowned, the water reaching up to their waists. Letters from Courtrai, Hooglade, and Ostend, in the same Journal, state that a similar visitation was experienced on the same night at those places, which caused great damage. Hail-stones, of the size of pi geon's eggs, fell in great abundance, and many windows were broken. The raja fell in torrents, and inundated several houses. The flax and other crops were much da maged. M. Thiers is to leave Paris to-morrow with his family for Lille. He proposes to visit the baths of Ems in the course of the summer. M. Thiers dined two days ago at a party in which he met several of his friends ; amongst them were General Cubieres, the Count de la Redorte, Count Roger, M. Mignet, M. Victor Hugo, and M. Alexandre Dumas. The health of Madame Thiers is much improved. A severe conflict took place at St. Denis, two days ago, between some journeymen blacksmiths belonging to the compagnonage, and other workmen of the saaie profes sion, who rind not been received as compagnons. Serious wounds were received on both sides, and it was with difficulty that the gendarmerie, assisted by some troops of the line, could separate the combatants. Three of the campagnons, who were ringleaders, and who struck the first blows, were arrested, and sent Off to Paris for imprisonment. A grand ball was given on Thursday last, on board The line-of-battle-ship,. the Friedland, lying in Cherbourg Roads, by the officers of the ship, to which the principal inhabitants' of Cherbourg and the neighbourhood were invited. The vessel was profusely dressed out in flags: slid the quarter-deck fitted up as a ball-room, with an effect truly magical, giving it more the appearance of 'a fairy bower than the deck of a ship. "The guests in - cited to this festive scene were brought off from the 'shore by the boats of the vessel, the crews lcsitig dressed in their best suits. The bands of one of the regiments in garrison - of Cherbourg was in attendance, and dancing. W :kept up with great spirit until a late hour, when the rests disembarked, delighted.with their entertainment. .1 collation was laid out in the cabin, composed of the choicest viands ; profusion and good taste reigned throughout the fete. . The Gazette de ilfetz states that a horrible scene oc curred, a few days since, in the Assize Court of that place. The President had just condemned a man, who had been found guilty of theft, to five years' confine ment at the hulks, when the prisoner, suddenly taking a knife from his pocket, stabbed himself so severely in the breast that he died a short time after he was removed to the infirmary. A public vehicle running between Saint Julien and Limoges, on the 28th ult., with 22 passengers, most of whom were summoner). to appear as witnesses on a cri Lninal case to be tried on the following day, was over turned, with a tremendous shock. One passenger had his face so crushed that it is feared he will lose his nose. A young woman had both her legs broken, four other persons had limbs fractured, and all the rest, with the exception of two, received wounds or contusions of more or less severity. THE PHENIX AND BRITANNIA STEAMERS.—The ap peal to the Cour Royale of Rouen against the decisions of the Tribunal of Commerce of Havre in the case of the Phenix and Britannia steamers, the hearing of which has occupied several days, was decided yesterday. The judgment of the Tribunal is confirmed in every point, except that the General Steam Navigation Company is decreed to pay the dues on registering the judgment, from which it was relieved by the inferior Court. The English Company and Captain Stranack are ordered to pay all the costs of the appeal. M. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, the composer, has ac cepted the invitation of the King of Prussia to fix himself at Berlin, and has been appointed second Chapel-Master to his Majesty (Meyerbeer is the first), with a salary of 10,800 f.

MANTMAIN, RANGOON.—Accounts have been receiv, d that on the night of Sunday, March 7, the greater part of the town, and part of the walls of Rangoon, were destroyed by fire. About 570 houses, it is said, were consumed, and several of the English merchants there have :sustained great loss. The soldiers and palace builders, increased the calamity by spreading the fire, robbing, and plundering, and even killing the inhabitants. It is said some forty were found murdered. Information has reached us that a party that pro ,,,ecled from Calcutta in the schooner for the purpose of visiting the Assam Company Tea plantation ..have at length arrived it Gowahatty, On the , 19th of March.

The Britannia, from Halifax and Boston, is not yet arrived. It is supposed she has met with some accident in her machinery, and was obliged to put back, . The general produde markets hare been in a dull state this week, - and sugar and other leading staples of 'con sumption have barely supported their value. The great object of attention among the speculators in Mincing-lane has been the tea market, where the fluctuations have been rather vi lent. Early in the week Company's Congou was not higher than ls. 8-fd.. per lb., but after the advices from China came to hand, the price rose to the extent of Sid., or to 2s. 3d. per lb. In the very same afternoon there was a reaction of more than 2d.. per lb., the price having dropped to 2s. Okd. The publication of the official despatches detailing the brilliant capture of the Bogue :Forts, and the occupation of Canton, rather checks the ardour of some of the dealers inclined to go for an important rise under the impression of hostilities being protracted for aeonsiderable time. We have goodreason to state, however, that too many of the wholesale and retail houses in this line of business have already incurred severe losses, some of them narrowly escaping entire ruin, not to inspire them with a good deal of caution in their future dealings. Up to this hour we have no news of the Britannia; smile think she would leave Halifax on the 10th ult., and others say a day or two later. Consols 89 sellers ; Mexican 27;. 28k ; Spanish 231 a.

During the division by which the House of Commons decided this morning that the further continuance in Office •of her Majesty's present Ministers is at variance with the spirit of the Constitution, there was a great as semblage of persons in Palace-yard.. After the result had transpired, Sir R. Peel, on leaving the . House, was re cognised by the multitude, who accompanied the Right Hon. Baronet to his house, in Whitehall-gardens, with deafening acclamations.—Morning Post. • Our fashionable Contemporary mistook the cabs for the cads that cheered the victorious Bai onet. The fact is, that on a late division almost every cab in London Foes to Palace-yard for a late tare, and this morning, it being (unfor tunately for the cabs) a fine morning, nobody wished to ride, and so the cabmen kept roaring out, " Cab, Sir ! cab, Sir ?" which noise the Morning Post converted into cheers for Sir ROBERT PEEL, who was hurrying away to his house to escape the nuisance. The Right Hon. Baronet walked so quick, that he left every other Member in the lurch with " Cu,) Sir?" " Cab. Sir ?" echoing at their heels. As Sir ROBERT. turned the corner into Privy-gardens, one of the Irish Members (a repaler), smartino• under his defeat, exclaimed, "There goes numlior . one? I wish him joy of his sole majority !" Summonses were issued on Sattitclay morning to the Ministers to attend a Cabiiiet Council at the Foreign office. Twelve o'clock was the hour appointed for the meeting, but it was not until one o'clock that all had assembled. - The Court is expected to leave town for Windsor Castle on Monday next, to remain during the Ascot Races. Amongst the measures contemplated for making the interior of the Regent's Park accessible to the public on all sides, we understand a plan has been devised for cr :suing what is termed " The Ornamental Water," opposite Hanover-gate, by means of two suspension bricb , ei, to be executed upon a small scale, and upon a principle originally-suggested• by Dr. Dredge, of Bath; which is stated. to combine, with great economy of material and expense, all the lightness and strtngtn desirable in such a structure.- - - Sunday paper. • " We understand h mmtviN CT i4l.nfTioi4*: RT Tile Queen a r Prince Albert, and the Queen r owagel atten, d servioe, yesterday morning, at the Clin (loyal.
