MORNING SQL N . assengers by the Great Liverpool, who are eestinei for India, to reach Suez and embark, should there be room. The Endymion frigate, Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey, which left the Cape of Good Hope in April, was ordered to proceed to Aden, and should Sir William Parker find her there, he will probably hoist his flag, and proceed in her to Bombay, where the Melville is expected from China. The next mail from India was intended to be despatched from Bombay on the 22d ult. Last year -one was despatched on the 23d of that month, and arrived at Suez on the 16th of Jane. There is therefore reason to suppose that the coming mail will arrive here as early as that of the last month, namely, on the 26th inst., perhaps a day earlier, but the monsoon may have set in stronger this year.

G:Carrer, having been chargee. with the mission by his countrymen, presented to thy, Right Hon. Lord Charles Fitiroy, at the Duke of Graf ton's seat, Euston Hall, a medal from the inhabitants of the Island of Zante, as a testimonial of their grateful feelings for his Lordship's exertions in their favour. The medal is of solid gold, and unusually large size, designed , and executed by M. Barre, the Director-General of the Royal Mint at Paris, representing on the one side the bust of his Lordship, with the inscription— AOPAI2I KAPOAS2I tMTEPOHI 41A521 ()EP:Mtn TOT lONIKOT AAOT ZAKTNOIOI ETI'NOMONOTNTE. 1841. " To Lord Charles Fitzroy, the ardent friend of the lonian people, the Inhabitants of the Island of Zane, ever mindful." On the other the interior of the House of Commons, at the moment his Lordship is making his first motion on the state of the lonian Islands, with the inscription— " Debate on the motion of Lord Charles Fitzroy, in the House of Commons, Tuesday, June 23, 1840.' The whole of the medal, particularly . this side, de serves peculiar attention and praise, being . most ably executed, the smallest details most highly finished. The Hon C. G. Carrer, on presenting the above, delivered the following address : My Lord,—The gratitude which my fellow-country men feel to your Lordship has made them subscribe for a medal of honour, as an offering to you. To-day, in their name, and in the fulfilment of a mission which is dear to my heart, I present it. This pledge of gratitude, from people who willingly and cheerfully placed themselves under the protection of the British Sovereign, whose legalized sway might gradually qualify them to partici pate in'privileges not unlike those which have elevated England to her present proud position, will be endeared to your Lordship by the feeling which it evinces, rather than by the value which it possesses. The medal will recal the glorious clay when your Lordship rose in de fence of the lonian population,—that day, my Lord, when you taught the House of ommons, and through them the British nation, to judge more justly of a people till then unappreciated and neglected. May the future renew to your Lordship an hour of similar generosity, and of more satisfactory results. May your Lordship's example rally to the cause of the oppressed and weak fresh defenders, and your efforts be crowned with success. The lonian empire is sanguine, because they know that your Lordship belongs to a nation where the cause of man's welfare has found its most illustrious champions, and they remember that success has been ever the reward of perseverance. Your courage, my Lord, will not, I trust, fail, before that day when you will have obtained a conquest which will promote our haniness, thus adding fresh glory to Great Britain, and increased honour to your Lordship." The following letter, from the Committee of the Sub scribers to the medal in the Island of Zante, was then handed by the Hon. C. G. Carrer, to his Lordship : My Lord,—The inhabitants of the Island of Zante, ever mindful of your Lordship's noble conduct, at the time when you represented among them the glorious na tion which protects us, and of the benefits for which every one blesses your name, express to your Lordship, through our means, feelings of the deepest gratitude for the true and generous interest with which your Lordship has un taken to support the rights of a people that deserves to be more considered. You, my Lord, better than any other, are qualified to judge whether the grievances which it has expressed have a real foundation. Our country asks only for the opportunity of proving that it deserves the indulgent attention of the generous British nation, in bestowing on them an existence more free, and more consonant with justicd and international law. May she obtain, through your noble perseverance, all that she has implored from the justice of our Sove reign Protectress ; and your Lordship's name will be handed from father to son to the remotest generations with respectful gratitude. Trivial, my Lord, is this offering—the pledge of our gratitude ; but it is pre sented by a grateful people, who have fixed their hopes upon your energetic defence. Receive it with courtesy, keep it with fondness, that the most distant ages may know the generosity of your conduct, and the depth of our gratitude. We have the honour to be, Your Lordship's most humble, obedient servants, NICOLOS COUNT LUNZI. GIORGIO COMUTO. GLADIANO COUNT ROMA. PIETRO COUNT MAORI. ANDREA GAETA. D. PLESSA, L.L.D. NICOLO CARVELLA, LL.D. The Right Hon. Lord Charles Fitzroy, M.P. Zante, Sept. 25, 1840. THE PORTUGUESEIMINISTRY, LISBON, JUNE 21.—Your readers will no doubt expect. an individual account of the Members composing the new Administration. Rodrigo Fonseca Magalhaes, who continues at the Foreign Affairs, cannot couple to his vast talents and oratorical powers a reputation for since rity of purpose, and, whether justly or otherwise, his word and pledge, either as a public or private individual, Pare not relied on. The Prime Minister, J. A. de Aguiar, was Don Pedro's Minister of Justice in 1833-34; though possessing fair abilities, he then made himself very ob noxious by his overbearing temper, as well as by his never-ceasing and most unmerciful persecution of the Miguelites and their families and friends. From peculiar private circumstances we must suppose him, at this mo ment, rather partially disposed towards France, as well as towards everything French. Count Villareal is another sort of man : in private life he is highly respectable, and his honour is not to be questioned, which is more than I should feel disposed to say of some of his own particular friends. As a public man, he is well known at London, Madrid, and other capitals, where he has filled diploma tic missions. His political opinions are next to absolu tists, but he has, withal, a sincere anxiety to contribute to the prosperity of his country ; yet do I think him wanting in that firmness of character so essentially neces sary in a Minister of the Crown. He is active and laborious, but not popular with the rmy, over which department he has I,2ea named to preside. M. Avila, Minister of Finance, is a young man, a native of the island, petulant, if not very clever, possessing more than a fair share of self assurance. Unless he has made up his mind to play the automaton, under the leading-strings of M. Gomez de Castro, it is difficult to imagine what on earth can have induced him to assume the reins of the Finance Department, where he must find himself so completely out of his element; but it is more than probable that he has been thus placed by . Gomez de Castro, who, well aware that little credit is to be gained by directing the financial affairs of the country just now, if the Court and others are to be pleased, has preferred this mode of being the de facto Minister, without any of the responsi bility or odium being laid at his door. Of M. Pes tt a n h hat a, lit th t e e i•febi t eh highly goh respectable favourable,Marine,l shall a 1 l yaent, s t a ti y nwt e b i i ee t nh t l tn e , t , a b t nh u de t truth; he is a hig hl y an honest and sincere well-wisher of his country's wel fare. Pity that he enlisted as a Minister in an Admi nistration, some of the members of which do not and can not command the respect or esteem of the country. Of M. Costa Cabral, the former and still Minister of justice, the least that is said wil l be the better for him as well theas for the friends of Portugal w hose feelings m a y, in , present instance, well be spared without detriment to any one, because the man, as a public one i mean, is so noto riously well known. The lat e President of the Council, Count de Bomfim, has asked leave to w r in eti r r e e su to m E e l h v is s s f e o n r a a . while, but it is not thought that he yea r ; his , cessation torial functions durin; the present from the Cabinet has not been regretted by either party, because he had belonged to the m both, but was not now considered a member of either. The Duke of Terceira's appointme nt to the command of the Lisbon district is generally approved of ; there is so much of the gentleman about the gallant soldier, that even his political adversaries admire and respect him. If there were many such men in Portugal, the whole of the fractions into which the Libe ral party is di - Nided would merge into one. Lieutenant-Colonel Don Carlos Mascarenas, a very gallant officer, brother of the Marquis Fronteira, of the Lancers, has been named to succeed the Brigadier Cesar de Vasconcellos, a Deputy, in the command of the Lisbon Municipal Guards. This :latter officer joined the September Revolution in 1836, but was subsequently induced to oppose it in the Chamber of Deputies, and he, no doubt, conceived that his peace with royalty was made. He was mistaken ; he ought to have well remembered that royal persons seldom or ever forgive, and that, consequently, so soon as it became safe to do so, his services in that important command could be dispensed with. Doubts are entertained whether the post of " Ad ministrator Civil of Lisbon " will be conferred on the Marquis Fronteira, or on the Count Mello. I rather think that the latter has already declined it. It could, no doubt, be bestowed on the once chief of police, of odious memory, the Baron de Renduffe, so recently rejected by the Court of Spain,—were it not that it would be construed into an outrage of public feeling, wantonly offered to the nation at large. THE CENSUS.—The population of the borough of Swansea has not been made up in time for publication this week, but it is ascertained that the increase, beyond the census of 1831, amounts to about 10,000, making the aggregate 28, or 30,000, exclusive of the higher divi sion of the parish of Swansea, which is not within the municipal boundary. The population of Brecon amounts to 5,429, being an increase since 1831 of 403 • that of Carmarthen to about 9,500. The population of Newport is estimated at 14,000.—Cambrian.

A great deal of interest has been excited within the last week by the partial exposure of a practice which the following account fully explains, but which, until this day we could not with propriety lay before our readers. Mr. Clarkson, the Barrister, stated that he appeared upon, the part of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, the piano-forte manufacturers, to complain of a very gross system of fraud practised upon them and the public, the particulars of which were accidentally discovered. The firm of Broadwood and Sons had been in the habit of attaching to the instruments of their manufacture labels, of which the following is a copy :—" John Broadwood and Sons, makers to their Majesties and the Princesses, Great Pulteney-street, Golden-square, London ;" and they exported a great number to different parts of the world, where they had agents. Their Dublin agents were Messrs. M'Culloch and Sons, who, on or about the 2d of April last, received, a letter from Messrs. Hodgson and Co., of Bucklersbury of which the following was a " 41, Bucklersbury, London, March 31, 1841 " Gentlemen,—We write to inform you that your order in the patent porcelain letter is now ready, and we shall feel obliged by your informing us by what conveyance you would like to have them forwarded. "If you have no objection we can do so through our friends Messrs. Cramer, Addison, and Beale. " We remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servants, " HODGSON and CO. "Messrs. M'Culloch and Co., music sellers, Dublin." Previously to the arrival a box arrived in Dublin,ec directed to " James M'Culloch, Esq., 22, Suffolk-street, Dublin. Strictly private." The circumstance created some sur prise in the mind of the Dublin agent, who, upon finding that the box contained eighteen enamelled plates, with an inscription almost the verbatim copy of the foregoing engraved on them, suspected that some frauds were in the course of being practised upon Messrs. Broadwood. and Sons, and directed their solicitors to inquire into the matter. The result of the inquiry would be collected from the following extract of the solicitor's letter to Messrs. Broadwood and Sons :—" I made every exertion in my power to ascertain if any forgeries of your pianos were in Dublin, and have now ascertained beyond a shadow of doubt that your name is put on pianos made in Scotland, and sold here as your make. I can even go so far as to produce a working man who was employed by the house of -- to take out their labels and put yours in the place of them, and no later than last wetk twelve of these pianos were sent to Kilkenny and other places to be sold as your 3. A thought has struck me that the eighteen labels were intended for --, and by mistake directed to M'Culloch and Co. I think it would be advisable if you would communicate with ;Messrs. Collard and Collard, as they are also aware of something similar to the above, and they would be happy to assist in discovering the offenders." Upon inquiry, made by Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, in Lon don, one of the partners in the house of Hodgson and Co. came forward, and admitted that he was the writer of the letter signed "Hodgson and C 0.," but stated that he knew nothing of sending the box or its conte nts, and he willingly offered his assistance to discover the fraud, if any had been committed. The order, When executed, was to hava been called for, and no application having been made for it Messrs. Hodgson and Co. wrote to Messrs. M'Culloch and Co., the above-mentioned letter to which an answer was transmitted, stating that there must be some mistake, as no such order had been given. Messrs. Hodgson and Co. subsequently, upon reference to the order-book, found that the order had been made in the name of one of John Power, by their clerk, and Sir Peter Laurie, to whom the public were so much in debted for the exposure of frauds, immediately upon being applied to gave directions that the several parties should appear before him. Mr. M'Culloch, of Dublin, correspondent of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, stated that he received the box containing the eighteen plates, which he had never ordered, and the letter from Messrs. Hodgson and Co., which he could not comprehend. His Solicitor called upon a man, to whom upon making i n q uir y he was referred, and who informed him that he had been em ployed by a certain firm to substitute the labels of Broadwood and Sons for those of that firm upon pianos not made by Messrs. Broadwood, and that twelve instru ments so translated had been sent to Kilkenny for sale. There was a slight difference between the labels of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons and the spurious labels, the latter bearing on the inscription" John Broadwood and Sons, makers to his Majesty and the Princesses," in stead of " Makers to their Majesties and the Princesses," as appeared in the old labels of Messrs. Broadwood and copy : Sons. A partner in the house of Hodgson and Co. proved that the order for the patent porcelain letter was entered in the name of " John Power. Sir PETER LAURIE said it appeared to him that the system resembled that which existed with respect to cutlery, by which the names of eminent makers were substituted for those of wretched fellows, whose work was of no value, just as the name of " Manton" was placed upon guns and pistols of little or no value. Mr. Clarkson—Exactly so. Messrs. Broadwood and Sons will know how to deal with the persons by whom it has been ascertained the deception was authorised. Mr. John Power was then called by Mr. Clarkson. He wished to be infoemed by whom his expenses were to be paid before he gave his evidence, and was told that Messrs. Broadwood and Sons would pay the necessary expenses attending the investikation into so gross a case of fraud. The witness said that he lived at: No. 16, Lisle-street, and was a piano-forte tuner and regulator. He caused the labels in the box produced to be sent to Dublin, but not as directed. Sir P. LAURIE Who ordered them ? Witness—No one. I sent them to my brother, " James Power, care of James M'Culloch, Esq., 22, Suffolk street, Dublin," but I confided the address to others, and they made a mess of it by omitting the name of my bro ther, who is in Mr. M'Culloch's employment. Sir PETER LAURIE—HOW long have you been in the habit of sending these labels to your brother ? Witness —I never before sent any. Sit PETER LAURIE—Where did you get them ? Wit ness—l purchased them of a man named Coutts acci dentally. Sir PETER LAURlE—Accidentally ! No doubt by pure accident.—(A laugh.) Witness—lt was accidentally. Sir PETER LAURIE—YOU know that if Messrs. Broad wood sent instruments to Dublin, these instruments would have their labels upon them, and you know that these very labels which you sent to Dublin were to be put upon instruments, of which Messrs. Broadwood knew nothing. Witness—The fact is, we alter Messrs. Boadwood's pianofortes from CC to FF ; we modernize their old pianos. It is a secret of trade, and we touch up the in struments with new labels.—(A laugh.) There is no thing dishonest or disreputable in that. Sir PETER LAURIE—I should like to know the mean ing of the words " strictly private" on the box ? Mr. Clarkson—No doubt nothing was meant by that particular direction ? Mr. William Coutts stated that he had been in the habit of making labels similar to those produced, for Messrs. Broadwood and Sons. A Mr. Brown, who was an agent , of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, gave him an order to make some. Mr. Brown was in the habit of buying old instruments manufactured by Messrs. Broad wood and Sons, on which he put the labels to make them look new. Sir PETER LAURIE—Yes, like a translator of old into new shoes or boots. You call it translating ? The Wit ness—l call it renovating. Mr. Clarkson—l submit that, morally speaking, the practice which has been resorted to of placing the labels upon instruments not made by my clients, as must be palpable to all who have heard this case, is no less than the practice of forgery. Mr. Coutts—The labels are intended for none but Messrs. Broadwood and Son's own instruments, and no trick or dishonesty was at all contemplated. lam justi fied in renewing the labels on the firm's manufacture. Mr. Clarkson—As sure as you stand there you shall be indicted if you are found repeating this mode of pro ceeding. Mr. Coutts—l am not at all alarmed; as I am conscious of having done nothing wrong. Mr. Clarkson—Well, I give you warning, and I give you warning, too, Mr. Power. This is an illegal act. There is no possible excuse or palliation. Mr. Power—You can bring an action if you please, but no felony has been committed. Mr. Clarkson said it was right to say that there was no proof against Mr. Coutts. Mr. M'Culloch was again called by Mr. Clarkson. He stated that Mr. Power's brother was in his service. Mr agent o f _. John Murray, warehouseman to Messrs Broad wood d and Sons, said, that Mr. Brown was no more an M of es t s h rs e . ir ßrea iast d r w a o m e e d nt an s. d Cmor2.sßthroanwnalr he other purchaser was convinced, which wouldiiot attempt to put the labels upon any instruments Mr. John B rown were no, of Messrs.

He was not in made b when the original lab e l s were defaced. Mr. Coutts, except some labels one or two ears ago faced.

Broadwood and im a the labels which he thought had beenlef pound a hundred for Coutts's hands of the quantity made for remaining in Mr. er Broad wood and Sons. He understood the mechanism of the Messrs. i n struments made by that firm, and had frequently seen their name on inst ruments no t made by them. Sir P. LAURIE—Now, do you not consider it violation of hon est y to p ut the name of e minent makersagross upon inferior in struments. Mr. Brown—Mos t certainly I do. I have seen ver y fre q uentl y p iano-for tes in auc tion-rooms with the names of Broadwood and Sons on them, which pianofortes were not at all made or known by them. Sir P. LAURIE—Then you are willing to give up the labels you have ? Mr. Brown, with the greatest readi ness—l shall give them up to Messrs. Broadwood and Company. Sir PETER LAURIE—It is evident from what has taken place, that the appearance of Messrs. Broadwood and Co.'s name on a piano-forte is no proof that the in strument is genuine, and I would advise them to adopt ,some test less liable to imitation. I have no hesitation in saying that the most gross imposition has been prac tised on the firm and the public. Mr. Murray (Messrs. Broadwood's warehouseman) here declared that for one spurio lift bel put upon a translated pianoforte of his employers, y spurious labels were put upon instruments never known to the firm. Mr. Clarkson.—Exactly so. If, then, any repetition of the fraud be made, a prosecution shall most unquestion ably be instituted. The parties then left the Justice-room. .hick The sale of Malmaison is fixed for the 1 August; half Paris will be there, Moarrrit.—The Tory candidate, Major Cadogan, relin quished the contest for this borough on the 26th instant. The Hon. Captain'Howard, the late Member, and a thorough Re former,. *ill therefore be elected without opposition. ASHBURTON, Jima 26.—The success of Mr. Jardine, the Liberal candidate, is now certain. Hisopponent, Mr. M'Killop, finding there was no chance, has retired from the field. (From the Liverpool Albion.) Electors of Liverpool ! The hour for action has at length arrived. You have, on. Wednesday next, to re deem the pledge which your loud professions of attach ment to the commercial policy of the Ministers have given to the country during the last six weeks. You have to do this, or to be the laughing-stock of the whole empire. It will, indeed, be a strange and unaccountable spectacle to behold Liverpool, the second commercial city in the land, bent upon self-destruction by taking part with the monopolists who have brought the trading and manufacturing interests to the very verge of ruin. It will be a delusion, second to none which we have seen amongst the marvellous follies which we have witnessed in our day. But, electors of Liverpool, be not deceived into supporting the Tories any longer. Listen to the voice of your Queen. Break forth from the trammels of faction, and study what will be for the welfare and prosperity of the country. Thousands are already starving in the manufacturing districts, under the grinding famine brought upon them by the corn monopoly. As the thing works on, you also will be in volved in the same misery under which they are suffer ing. The river cannot flow on, if the fountain from which it springs is dried up ; neither can Liverpool, which is the great outlet of the manufacturing districts, continue to thrive, if once those districts sink into that decay which it seems impossible to avert, if the Corn laws are maintained. Electors of Liverpool what say you ? Keep up the Corn-laws, and you will pre sently see empty warehouses and untenanted houses in abundance in " the good old town." The mer chant will then suffer, and the tradesman and shopkeeper must suffer with him. And who, in such a case, is to find employment for the working classes? Instead of the hum of business, and the noise of the axe and the hammer in the shipwrights' yards, there will be gloom and silence; while the broom at the mast-head will proclaim that their occupation is gone, and the market already glutted with ships beyond what the demand of our declining trade requires. But repeal the Corn-laws. Give free scope to trade by removing the cords of mo nopoly which bind it down, and there is no height of prosperity to which we may not see Liverpool at tain. Our manufactures, having then the markets of the world opened to them, will instantly revive, and spread, and grow in an unprecedented manner, and the channel of trade will flow through this port, widened and deepened in an incalculable degree. There will be an in creased demand for labourers of every kind. Our warehouses will groan under the additional goods which will have to be crowded into them. New houses will be wanted, as our hive of industry swells and expands in every direction. New ships in untold numbers will be called for, and find unceasing occupation for our carpen ters, riggers, painters, sail-makers, and mechanics and workmen of all classes. 'Now, electors of Liverpool, " Look on this picture, and on that." You are playing for a mighty stake. The prosperity of yourselves, nay, of the whole country is at issue. Only be true to your selves, and you will ensure the welfare, not only of the present generation, but of your children and your chil dren's children, and of ages yet unborn. But, if you should be found wanting at this momentous crisis ; if, under the influence of corruption or intimidation, or from any cause whatever, you should suffer the monopolists again to ride roughshod over you, you will, as far as your efforts can achieve it, have worked for the ruin of your selves, of the town, and of the whole empire. But away with the very thought that you will be guilty of the mad ness implied . in this idea of self-sacrifice ! We expect, we hope, we believe better things of you. You will not, you must not disappoint us. Electors of Liverpool ! recollect that whoever votes for Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell, votes against the trade, and commerce, and manufactures of the country. Whoever votes for them, votes for dear bread. Whoever votes for them, votes for dear sugar. Whoever votes' for them, votes for monopoly and new taxes. Whoever votes for them, votes against Ireland's hap piness as well as England's prosperity. "Whoever votes for them, votes against the Queen, and for bigotry, intolerance, ignorance, and persecution. And will you vote for these enemies of the Queen, of the people, and of the trade and prosperity of the coun try? No! No! Men of Liverpool! " Free Trade for ever !" " The Queen for ever!" " Walmsley and Palmerston for ever!" Be resolved, and be united. Union will prevail ; but the smallest, the very smallest departure from it will be ruin to our cause. Listen, then, to no one who would sow the tares of schism amongst you. Be at the hustings at the very opening of the poll. Let every Liberal elec tor vote for both the Liberal candidates. He is a traitor to the cause who shall act otherwise, and must never more be allowed to, place himself in the ranks of the Re formers of Liverpool. Whigs and Reformers ! vote for both the candidates, or go, at once and join the Tory camp. It is a battle for principles, not for persons, in which we are, engaged ; and let us fight it as men who consider our principles to be worth upholding. Union ! Union ! ! Union !! ! We ask no more, and nothing less will do. With union we shall win ; without it we shall . But there will be the closest union in the hour of conflict. We anticipate nothing else. Forward, then, to victory, electors of Liverpool! " Free trade for ever !" Be at the poll at its first opening, and take the lead at once. " Free trade for ever !" " Walmsley, and Palmerston, and free trade for ever !" ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION. The nomination of the candidates for this borough took place yesterday. The candidates on the Liberal interest, Lord Listowel and Mr. Muskett, accompanied by their friends, took their places on the hustings about twelve o'clock ; and they were soon followed by Messrs. Repton and Worley, the Conservative candidates. _ _ _ _ ----- Mr. J. KINDER proposed George Alfred Muskett, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent te borough of St. Alban's in Parliament, and Mr. W. T. OSBORN seconded the nomination. Mr. T. KINDER proposed Lord Listowel, and Mr. HAR- RisoN seconded the nomination. Mr. STORY proposed Mr. Repton, and Mr. R. G. LOWE seconded the nomination. Mr. T. FAIRTIIORN then proposed Mr. Worley, and was seconded by Mr. E. BOYCE. The candidates then severally addressed the electors. A show of hands was then taken, which was declared to be in favour of Messrs. Repton and Worley. A poll was demanded on behalf of the other candi dates, which will commence at eight o'clock this day, and close at four. BATH ELECTION. BATH. JuxE 28.—This morning, at an early hsur, the busy and bustling population not merely of Bath but of its surround ing villages, congregated in various parts o f the city, and marched in tolerable order to the hustings which had been erected near the Orange Grove and Abbey. There could not have been less than seven or eight thousand persons present, although not more than 3,000 electors are on the books ; cer tainly 2,200 is about the number that will be polled out alto gether to-morrow. At eleven o'clock the Mayor and Magistrates having at tended, the usual proclamation was made. Lord Powerscourt, Mr. Bruges,. Lord Duncan, and Mr. Roebuck having advanced, were variously received according to the feelings and views of their respective parties. The different candidates were proposed amidst great uproar, and not a little fighting. Speeches on the occasion were out of the question ; and after a great deal of dumb-show, the Mayor dissolved the meeting, and appointed the polling for to morrow at eight in the morning. POLLUX. ONDON, TUESD Y. JUNE 29, lBll. LOSS OF THE FRENCH STEAMER The Havre Journal publistieTa letter from Leghorn, 20th instant, which states that the above fine steamer, which was lately sold with the Castor to a Genoese company, as we men tioned, and went round from Havre to the Mediterranean, came in contact, on the night of the 17th, with a Neapolitan steamer, the Montegibello, to the south of Porto Longano, and was sunk. " The passengers," it adds, " except one individual, and the crew were taken on board the Montegibello. Eight French sailors formed part of the crew of the Pollux." Another ac count in the Courrier de Lyon, states that the accident occurred at 11 o'clock, when the two vessels were going at full speed, about 12 knots, between Piombino and the island of Elba. The Pollux was of 200-horse power, the Montegibello of 250. The former was taken amidships by the latter, and within twelve minutes not a vestige of her remained on the surface. She bad previously taken fire, and this added greatly to the dis tress and confusion of the scene. The passengers of the Pol lux were forty-five in number, and her crew, an unusually large one, is said to have been the same. They were all saved, this account states, but everything on board was lost, goods, money, papers, &c. A lady is stated to have lost jewels to the amount of 60,000 fr. and some of the parties saved were up to their arms in water when the Pollux sunk, getting into the Montegibello by the bowsprit. The Pollux was coming from Diaples, and is said not to have been insured either for her hull or her cargo. The Montegibello was much injured, and after the accident made for Porto Longrono, a few miles off; but the authorities there, on account of some sanitary regulations, would not admit her, and she had to put in at Leghorn, which she had left not many hours before. It is stated that both vessels carried lights, and had seen each other a long way off. —A letter from Genoa states The Pollux had sailed from Civita Vecchia about half past four 1%51., the weather being favourable. At eleven at night the man on watch at the bows saw two lights to starboard ; these came from some sailing vessels which were accordingly steered clear of. At the same moment almost the man cried out a light ahead to larboard !' The captain and boatswain immediately went forward and saw three lights, which indi cated a steamer ; and the captain, it is said, sent the boat swain aft to put the helm to larboard. Before this took place the Pollux was steering N. \V. I,( y N., but the captain not seeing the lights change their course, sent word to keep the helm hard to larboard, the vessel then going at 12 to 13 knots, and the Montegibello at 10 to 11 knots. The ships drew rapidly near each other, and the crew of the Pollux shouted out Pogg,ia. ! Poggia !" while the engineers called out " Stop her !" and Ar retez The helm of the Pollux then sent the boat right to N.E., but it was too late, and the Montegibello, running into her larboard side behind the paddle-box, carried away the chimney. The scene of confusion that ensued was dread ful ; the Pollux began to sink towards the stern ; the steers man left the helm, and sprung on board the other vessel, most of the crew following his example ; but the Captain of the Pollux, with three of his men, exerted themselves to save the passengers, and put them on board the Montegibello from the stern of the Pollux, having the water nearly up to their chins. The Captain thought he had saved all, but he heard some cries from the Pollux, the stern of which could now no longer be seen, and he went in one of the boats of the Montegibello and brought away seven persons. When he was on board the latter vessel and saw his own sink, he fell as if he were dead girt the deck. The boatswain of the Pollux, named Theveneau, and the seven other French sailors of the crew behaved very well, the former by his sang-froid con tributing greatly to save the passengers. These sailor s I have since been taken on board the French government steamer, Mentor, the captain of which raised a subscription for them. The tribunals of Leghorn are stated to have taken cognisance of this melancholy affair. The passengers, 46 in number, were all saved, except an old Neapolitan captain. The Montegibello was quite a new boat, built in London, and on her second trip, having only just come up from Naples to Genoa, and being then on her return southwards. The Pollux is said to have had a cargo worth 500,000 fr. One passenger by the latter boat, it is added, went down to his berth to secure some papers of importance, and was not seen again.

TORY GOVERNMENT.-4O the Annual Re gister for 1830, we have the following picture of the state of things which prevailed over more than one-third of England when the Tories went out of office, and handed over the Government of the empire to the Whigs, after having been in power well nigh 50 years :—" Night after night new conflagrations were lighted up by bands of incendiaries : corn-stacks, barns, farm-buildings, and live-stock were indiscriminately consumed. Bolder bands attacked Mills and demolished machinery. All protec tion for property seemed to be at an end. Bands of rioters pillaged and destroyed during the day, and so soon as night fell in, simultaneous conflagrations start ing up in different quarters, spread over the country consternation and dismay. The military force in the disturbed districts was daily increased ; and proclama tions were issued, offering rewards of 5001. for the ap prehension and conviction of any person engaged in wilful fire -raisings ; and a special commission was or dered to proceed into the counties where the outrages were committed." EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.—AS some men were employed in digging gault last week in Had denham Fen, and had got about five feet below the sur face, their spades came in contact with a hard substance, which they imagined would prove to be an old oak tree, many of which have been frequently found in the fens within a few feet of the surface ; but, to their great asto nishment, on removing the soil around it, they disco vered it to be an ancient canoe, liottom upwards, id length 26 feet, and in breadth something above four feet, with rullocks for three pairs'of oars about five feet in length was broken off the canoe in getting it out. It appeared on close inspection to be hollowed out from the trunk of a single tree. How long it may have re minkd embedded in the soil, or whether it was used by our Saxon ancestors, or by the. R om ans, when they con quered this " tight little island," would puzzle, the brain of a " Jonathan Oldbuck," to fathom ; but that many centuries have elapsed since its formati on there is no douht.—Cambridge Chronicle. On Friday a dinner was given in the Waterloo rooms, Edinburgh, to Mr. Charles Dickens. Professor Wilson was in the Chair,• and Mr. Robertson, advocate, ihly acted as . cr ou pi er (Vi ce -Chairman).

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The;betting chiefly turned on the Goodwood Stakes, for which Bellona declined three points, leaving Welfare, Fitzroy, and Portrait so strongly in favour, and so near together, that if we award the precedence to the mare it is by a very small majo rity. Several others were backed, and amongst them the winner of the Northumberland plate, Calypso, on whom two or three small sums were laid out at 25 to 1, five points more were afterwards offered, but not currently. Offers to back the field agst 11 to 1 take 12. For the Goodwood Cup Charles the Twelfth is decidedly first favourite, but Calypso's Newcastle running was so remarkably good, that 6 to 1 was taken by three or four parties ; it was offered at the close. Colwick's party took Bto 1 and were anxious to go on. The Rosalie colt was in force for the July Stakes at 7 to 4, and 4 to 1 taken severally about Mule and the Hester colt, afterwards went begging.

SIR,—I beg to enclose you, for the information of the subscribers to Lloyd's, and of other merchants and ship owners interested in the trade of Cadiz, a translated copy of the sanitary regulations issued, as on this day, by the Board of Health of this province. 'rho quarantine vessel, which is moored opposite to Fort San-Filipe, just at the entrance of the bay, where all vessels frequenting this harbour, except men-of-war and the mail steam-packets, must bring up until visited by the hulk boat, is a small schooner painted black, with a red streak, Masters of vessels, on arrival, will learn from their respective consignees the port regulations during this quarantine season at Cadiz. I am, Sir, your most obedient, J. M. BRACKENBURY. Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. 1. A quarantine of observation of 15 days will be im posed on vessels from the ports of America within the Gulf of Mexico, from the mouths of the Arinoco to the channel of Bahama, arriving from the middle to the end of June, and from the beginning to the middle of Novem ber, provided the crew are in perfect health. 2. From the Ist July to the end, of October, vessels from the aforesaid places will not be admitted unless they shall have previously peformed quarantine at the Lazaretti of Mahon, or in the ports of Santander, Bilboa, Coruuna, or Vigo. 3. Vessels sailing from the United States of America from the Ist June to the 30th September (excepting those ports within the Gulf of Mexico, already pointed out as inadmissible, see No. 3) will be subjected to a quarantine of observation of eight days if they bring clean bills of health, duly legalised by the Spanish Con sul. Vessels from Georgia and the two Carolinas, from the 31 deg. to 36 deg., bringing similar bills of health, and having sailed within the aforesaid dates, will be con sidered as bringing suspected bills of health. 4. Vessels from the coast of Africa on the Atlantic under the Equator, in which latitude the yellow fever is endemic, will be subjected to the same regulations speci fied in the two first articles. Vessels from the Regencies of Tunis and Tripoli, the whole of Turkey in Asia and Europe, the ports which formerly belonged to the Ottoman Empire, and the Greek Islands in the Archipelago, are always inadmissible unless they shall have undergone quarantine in a foul la zaret te.

ELECTIONEERING SABBATH PROFANATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Yesterday morning as I was passing along the New-road at about a quarter before twelve (I confess rather late for chapel) I observed two men pasting up Messrs. Cabbell and Hamilton's bills at the corner of the Marylebone Infirmary. At any other hour on the Sab bath this would have been highly improper, but during the hours of divine service it was grossly indecent and profane. I called subsequently upon Messrs. Hall and Napier's Committee at the corner of York-place to in form them of the circumstance, but was told by the por ter that the gentlemen did not attend there on Sunday. Your obedient servant, A. B. N.B. 'Will those who " value their immortal souls" now send the two Tories to Parliament ? THUNDER STORM AND WATER SPOUT. About noon on Wednesday, Stirling and its vicinity were visited by a thunder storm. The first peal occurred during the time the guard was in course of being changed at the Castle ; and the electric fluid appears to have been attracted by a chimney, the soot only of which it dis placed, and to have passed by one of the water runs at the roof, and to have been conveyed thereby into one of the cisterns. The whole of the guard felt the shock. A sergeant and one of the men were struck down to their knees. They felt slightly stiff thereafter, but suf fered no other injury. At the same time a water-spout was seen in the distance, in the direction of Ailoa. It had much of the shape of a funnel, with the narrow end below. Its upper part was densely dark, and had at times both a vibratory and a rotatory motion, whilst the lower part had the usual transparency of water. MR. O'CONNELL.—CARLOW Mr. O'Connell left town this afternoon, on his return to the county of Carlow, where the prospects of the Re formers were never more cheering. The Hon. and L , !arned Gentleman was accompanied by his friend and relative Mr. 'William John O'Connell, who came direct from London, to take an active part in the agitation for that county. This gentleman took a prominent part in the celebrated election of Clare, in 1828 ; he also agi tated in Waterford, Limerick, Kilkenny, and Kerry, with ' great success.—Dublin Evening Post, Saturday.

' ' „AO' HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER. A correspondent has furnished us with the particulars of a deed of intended murder, for the sake of plunder, scarcely se cond in villainy to that which occurred in Ludlow last August. The scene of this new crime was at the foot of Lilleshall Hill, on the road from Newport to the Ironworks at Donnington Wood, in the county of Salop, close adjoining the village of Lilleshall, and the seat of his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire. Mr. Britain, a respectable grocer at Newport, has been accustomed for many years to supply the chartermasters at Donnington with the cash in silver and copper received by him weekly, varying from 501. to 1001., for the purpose of paying the men employed in the ironworks. This money was usually sent on the Friday, in a light cart, in the custody of one of Mr. Britain's servants. Some time ago a married man, named Thomas Simms, was en trusted with this charge, but having left Mr. Britain's ser vice he commenced the business of selling fruit in the town and neighbourhood of Newport. Latterly the charge was en trusted to a young man, named Benjamin Nicholls, a servant in th:. employ of 'Mr. Britain ; and with this fact the former servant, Simms, was perfectly acquainted. On Friday week, owing to some delay, the money was not forwarded as usual ; but about eight o'clock on Saturday morning Nicholls was despatched to the ironworks on horseback, having 10/. in copper slung across the saddle, and a further sum of Si. in copper secured on the pommel of the saddle, on the top of which was placed 50/. in silver, tied up in a shot bag. He arrived .ae Lilleshall Hill about nine o'clock, and on passing a stile which terminated a footpath leading from the top he was accosted by Simms, who crossed over the stile, and asked Nicholls where he was going ? He re plied that he was going to Donnington works. Simms then crossedthe road from left to right, behind the horse, say ing that he was going towards Wellington ; and placing his left hand on the animal, walked side by side for a short time. On a sudden Simms exclaimed," Look! what's on the hill?" and immediately drew forth a hammer, a pound weight, and inflicted two tremendous blows on Nicholl's head. Fortunately for the young man he did not turn his head in the direction of the hill, fearing that the money might fall from the saddle, otherwise the blows must have fallen on his temple ; as it was, the blows were received on his forehead, and he became powerless and stunned, but did not fall. The horse immedi ately sprang forward, and the bag of silver, and the Si. in cop per placed on the saddle, fell to the ground, and the latter parcel burst, and its contents were scattered on the road. As soon as Nicholls recovered his senses he galloped on to Newport, raising an alarm of " Murder !" In the mean time Simms picked up the bag of silver, and ran up the hill, but meeting a person Who had heard the cries of distress, he turned back into the road, and escaped. In a few minutes afterwards his wife, Har riet Simms, was seen by persoris who bad heard the alarm to descend from the monument at the summit of the hill, which had been erected by a grateful tenantry to the memory of the late Duke of Sutherland, and approach the hedge along which her husband had been seen to run. She was observed to kick the long grass on the margin of the ditch, as if in search of something which had been dropped ; but notsueceeding, she de parted in the direction of Newport. The intended victim, how ever, succeeded in arriving first at Newport, and having raised a hue and cry, the woman was taken on entering the town. Seve ral of theinhabitants and police immediately commenced a pur suit after Simms, and about noon he was taken by Mr. Preston, a publican, within a few miles of Newport. In formation was then given to Mr. Baxter, superintendent of police, who made strict search in the vicinity of the place where the outrage was committed ; and, after considerable pains he discoverd the bag of silver concealed in the drain at the foot of the hill. The hammer was also found near the spot. Simms and his wife were then taken before Charles Morris, Esq., a magistrate of the Newport district. In ad dition to the above facts, evidence was given to prove that the prisoners were seen waiting on Lilleshall Hill nearly the whole of Friday, the day on which the money was usually conveyed to Donnington. Much astonishment was excited by the fact of the outrage being committed at such a time on the high way, particularly as it was Newport market day. The pri soners were fully committed for trial at the next assizes, on the capital charge of highway robbery, accompanied with violence. We are happy to state that Nicholls is recovering from his wounds. —Shrewsbury Paper. DEATX OF MASTER IHUGHES.—This ta lented Welsh boy was known not only in Wales for his abilities in music, but in London and many provincial towns in England. He embarked for America, and his melancholy death by drowning is thus noticed in the New York Tribune :—" Many of our readers 'must re member with delight the musical performances of Master Hughes, a young native of Wales, who came out to this country last year, and has since, in company with two younger brothers, travelled over a good part of the Middle States of America on a professional tour. We are now pained to record his sudden death by drowning ! The three brothers, under the guid ance of their father, visited Newburgh last week, and gave an exhibition of their musical powers on Tuesday evening. On. Wednesday they were induced to engage in a sailing excursion on the River to see the fishermen raise their nets. The wind was blowing quite fresh itt the time, and just after they reached the stakes the person before-mentioned, who had command of the helm —and who knew little of his business as it now appears— gibed the boat suddenly, instead of wearing her round as he should have done, and she immediately capsized: Mr. Hughes grasped his two youngest children and sustained them on the keel of the boat ; but the- eldest, Joseph T. Hughes, was carried away by the current and was drowned. He was about 14 years old, : and was greatly beloved by all who knew him. Up to Saturday (May 18) his body had not been recovered. The others of the party (six) were rescued soon after the accident, greatly ex hausted. By this accident an interesting and gifted fa mily is plunged into the deepest anguish." Lord Campbell left London for Dublin on Sa turday, to enter on his judicial duties as Lord Chancellor of Ireland. We perceive by the Dublin Evening Post, that the reports of Lord Plunkett's retiring address to the bar omitted the following complimentary passage :—" As to my successor, he is my political and private friend, and one for whom I en tertain the greatest personal respect." We have no doubt that Lord Campbell will immediately succeed in removing the pre judice which has been so causelessly excited against his appoint ment. Lord Plunkett and the Tory leaders of the Irish bar did not complain of the promotion of Lord Redesdale, Lord Man ners, Sir A. Hart, or Sir Edward Sugden to the Irish Seals, four Englishmen ; why, therefore, display so much dissatisfac tion at the nomination of a Scotchman? The English barns ters of Westminster-hall might have objected with as much, but no more, justice to Lord Campbell's original appointment of Solicitor-General in England. When the Irish are striving to extinguish national prejudices against thew/Ayes, they should be careful how they raise prejudices against any class of their common countrymen.—Morning Chronicle. HENLEY REGATTA, JUNE 26.—This cele brated meeting took place on Thursday and yesterday. The arrangements were on the same scale as on former years. J. D. Bishop, Esq., the captain of the London Amateur Scullers' Club, again filled the responsible office of umpire. It will be remembered that the Leander Club of London won the cele brated grand cuplast year; the number of challenges on the pre sent occasion were six, but from withdrawals were reduced to three, the. Trinity College, Oxford, the University College, Oxford, and the Cambridge Subscription-room Club, Lon don. The trial heat between these was decided about four o'clock, in favour of the Subscription-room, after perhaps as brilliant a race as had ever been witnessed. The grand race between the Cambridge and Leander gentlemen, on which so much excitement prevailed, terminated most disastrously ; the Leander, after rowing about a quarter of a mile, having un fortunately fouled the Cambridge boat, and thereby losing the race, which otherwise would have doubtless been of the most exciting nature. There were no entries for the Town and Dis trict Cup, and in consequence they will be retained by the Dreadnought crew, winners of last year. For the medals a very spirited contest took place between the Midge, Oxford, Cambridge Room, London, and St. George's, London ; it was won by the former, Cambridge being second, and the St. George's third.-- Windsor Express. Mr. Ducrow has, for the present, disbanded his theatrical company, but the equestrian corps are about to appear at Vauxhall for a few nights. The salaries, 'we are happy to hear, have been paid in full, the public subscriptions havins been sufficiently liberal to do so. Ob i t uit4 LONDON: TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1841. LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. Liverpool, the arrival of the George Washington at. Liverpool, at eight o'clock on Sunday evening, from New York, we have received American Papers to the Bth inst., inclusive. The Washing ton made the homeward passage in nineteen days. The Secretary of the Treasury atWashing ton, in obedience to a resolution of the last Con gress, presented on the sth an official report of the state of the finances of the republic. This report was exciting general attention among all classes. The Secretary of the Treasury states that during the four years of Mr. VAN BUREN'S Government the expenses of the Government exceeded the current revenues by thirty-one millions of dollars. The deficit in the revenue of the current year to meet the expenditure up to the 31st of August is five millions and.a quar ter of dollars. In order to cover the expenses of the current and the ensuing year, the Secre tary calculates that an additional revenue to the amount of sixteen millions of dollars must be raised. To effect this he recommends the follow- inf;• measures : • The levy of a duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem in all articles, which are now free of duty, or which pay a duty less than 20 per cent. The funding of the public debt payable in five or eight years. The disuse of Treasury notes. The repeal of the Sub-Treasury Act, and the creation of a National Bank. The Secretary also recommends the correction of the ine qualities in duties upon sugar and molasses. The revision of the Tariff he deems too long a job for the Ex, tra Session, and, therefore, d;es not urge it at present. Other extracts from the American Papers will be found in another column.
