In the House of Lords last night the Earl of DEVON and the Earl of MOUNTCASHEL both said a few words on • presenting a petition in favour of promoting railways in Ireland. Viscount STRANGFORD inquired if any vessel had been despatched by the Admiral:y to look after the President. The Earl of MINTO said he had taken great interest in the matter, and had consulted those best acquainted with it, and had not been able to ascertain that any measures which could be adopted would be of the least service. . The Noble Earl said of the report that was yesterday in circulation that he believed it had no good. foundation. NO exertion of the Admiralty which could be of service .. should be spared. Lord BROUCRAII expressed his regret at the loss of • the :Vministration of 'Justice Bill. On some petitions being presented from, we presume, the owners of rotten ships at Liverpool and South Shields, against any alteration in the timber duties, it was distinctly stated that ships were employed in that trade which could be employed in no other. The evi dence taken before a Committee of the House of Com - mons has informed the public how many of these ships are annually lust, and how many lives are sacrificed to keep these unseaworthy ships longer afloat than they ought to be. Their Lordships had another conversation about their own consistency, in which Lord ASHBURTON by no means appeared to the same advantage as Lord Ittuarcumt; for the latter Noble', Lord gave a good ex• planation of his change. opinion about Corn-laws and suktieets Niiiieh nightly discompose their •-• ' Lords Lips, and disturbthei r digestion. Nothing further canoe o. the conversatio n , and their Lordships adjourned. In 11 le Commons, Sir 12 . LiGus announced that he T had given up his Church Extension motion for this ses sion, but he hoped to bring it forward next session under happier auspices. We trust•tho Eon: Baronet will not forget it when his friends are in power, should that dis tant event ever come to past. _ _ An immense number of petitions for the repeal and against the repeal of the Corn-laws were presented. Mr. LAW HODGES complained that his name had been erroneously inserted in the division list as having voted for Mr. T. DUNCO3IBE'S motion relative to the Chartists. He was not in the House on that evening, and if he had been, he should have voted with the noes, and prevented the SPEAKER from being under the necessity of giving his casting vote against the motion. A copy of the Hertford Register of Elections, pursuant to order, was presented by the Clerk of the Peace, and laid on the table. A motion to print it at the public ex pense was negatived. The New South Wales Bill, the Western Australia Bill, the Houses of Industry (Ireland) Bill, and the In solvent Pebtors (Ireland) Bill, were read a third time. On the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of the resolution on the Danish Claims, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion; Mr. IlumE, Mr. CRESSWELL, and Mr. WARBURTON, ably supported it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL again opposed it. Mr. AARON CIJAPMAN supported it ; and en a division the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was again defeated by 75 to 64, and the Report was brought up. The Bribery at Elections Bill was committed, and some of the clauses agreed to ; but from a conversation which took place in the early part of the evening, both parties seem inclined to give up the Bill. The House sat till Eleven o'Clock. THE DANISH CLAIMS. Well! the cause of justice has at length pre vailed. And where are now Mr. BARING'S ob jections—his senseless obstinacy, merely be cause he was wrong—in opposition to claims, the justice of which was acknowledged but a few years after he was born ? The public will naturally wonder at such in ordinate folly, and ask, in their simplicity, how it is that men who have come into public consideration and confidence should so far forget themselves as to oppose a claim sanctioned by repeated votes of the House of Commons. The answer is this—a mock Liberal, Mr. SPRING RICE, of notorious memory—a Shannon jobber, who contrived to worm himself into place, and eventually to saddle the country with ,000/. a year or more, contrived to bamboozle Mr. BARING to follow in his steps, which were the steps of political shuffling. And, acting on these slippery counsels, Mr. BARING opposed the Danish Claims, which Mr. SPRING RICE would not have done if they belonged to the Shannon River instead of the Copenhagen Seas. We acquit Mr. BARING of any animus in his opposition but that which he derived from the whisperings of Mr. SPRING RICE—a gentleman whose especial merit it was that his best friends were at a loss where to find his counterpart, so slippery and statesmanlike were all his evolu tions. Mr. SHANNON RICE was the rock on which the present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER split, and in working out his pilotage be brought the Cabinet vessel into shoals and shallows. It were well if she rested there, but she has floundered and backed astern so much that they are in danger of backing out altogether! Well, wilful pilots must take the consequence of their own improvidence; but why should the passengers suffer? Simply because they row in the - same boat with the pilot who misguides them. This is a safe text for honest electors, to look out for good Liberals—men who will do their duty to their country, their conscience, and their Goy. It is not our purpose to damage Ministers be cause they have done many things wrong—our object is to convert them! But we shall not en large on these matters now; we promise them a safe deliverance—lF they deserve it. The country gentlemen seem resolved to profit by the confusion of " breaking up," to slip un perceived and unopposed some of their favourite measures through Parliament. Yesterday morn ing, as soon as the day began, or rather, before the Parliamentary night had expired, they laid on the table two Bills, one to provide for repair ing, improving, and rebuilding county bridges, for which Lord ELIOT and Sir E. KlaaTctirsuLL s; and sponsors, and the other, " to autlior:se, for a time, the application of a portion of the rates to turnpike-roads," which owns highway paternity of Sir C. BURRELL and the respechi, i 'le Mr. D A „ By. . ooth. Bills were read a first time on Thursday morniq, and both were appointed g. to be read a second time on Thursday evenin ' Quick law-making that; a2d as it is not said that all the county bridges of (lornwall and Kent are tumbling down, or all the turi.:'Dike-roads of Sussex are under water, there must' be some strong reason for this urgent haste to in. f roduce new measures, when scores of those which . I ‘ave been previously considered are cast out. The title of the first Bill, which is all that we know of it, does not imply anything objection- but the title of the second carries with it a perversion of public funds. Turnpike-roads are, in the majority of cases, private specula tions; individuals advance money to make them, in the expectation of being well paid by the tolls which Parliament authorises them to levy; highway rates are public taxes, levied by the authority of parish vestries and Magistrates. To apply those funds to turnpike roads seems to us to be improving the property of private indi viduals by the public taxes. That such is the real object of the Bill, that there is any line of turnpike roads bordering on the Rape of Bram ber, forming a convenient access to some ancient castles, owned by certain Sussex esquires, we do not know a road; but if there be such; it may, we apprehend, be partly maintained at the public expense, under the provisions of such a Bill, and the pockets of the said squires be spared, by taking money out of the pockets of the rate payers. The title of the Bill makes us regard it with the greatest suspicion ; and we trust that , Mr. HUME, or Mr. WARBURTON, or some otner determined foe to Parliamentary jobbing, will take care that a gross and flagitious job is not perpetrated under the guise ofpromoting commu nication. Our country readers, too, would do well•to look sharp after the Bill, or they may find themselves compelled to pay out of the highway rates the interest of the money which certain gentlemen have advanced for making roads on speculation. As they tax the people to make good their rent on unproductive land, we can see no reason or principle why they should not tax the people to make good the interest on their turnpike-road bonds. The manner in which the Tories have already begun to use their power in the House of Com mons, is an indication of what they will do in office. We have heard during the last six years a great deal about the tyrant majority, but the Whigs, in the utmost plentitude of their power, never used it so wantonly as did the Tories on Wednesday evening their majority of ONE. On the faith of that single vote did Sir R. PEEL and my Lord STANLEY then taunt the Ministers with having lost the confidence of Parliament. On the faith of that single vote did EDW ARD S . SU will GDEN assume that the Whigs I beout of office in October, and, relying on that, he stopped the Bill for improving the administration of jus tice. If they behave so now, what will they do should they ever be placed on the Treasury B enc h es ? " Depend upon it," as Sir R. PEEL frequently says, in a moat oracular manlier, should they ever again be Ministers, England will be an unfit habitation for a free man. We stated yesterday, and we see no reason whatevQr nowt to alter our opinion, that the Mi nist,.rs did wrong in giving up the Bill. They have given a handle to their opponents to say that they cared as little for the be nefit of the suitors, and for the administration of justice, as the Tories, and promoted the lost Bill only for the sake of the patronage it conferred. That was not their object, though the mode in which they gave up the Bill—as it were, in a pet—lent that colour to their conduct. The Tories, however, had no other object in stopping the Bill than to grasp the patronage. They avowed that. Their conduct was most un seemly and insulting. Not one of them dared to Tri. E S !TN, LONDON, f lit ID AV I srysrE ii, !.=1:1. WhigPCi;•e, word against L rd CotTENHAM. jnd yet they put on a great practica! It . is clontary thL,t men. in •;!, , Hd have the powe, of wakiu Lord CorrExtrAm hasf i cxercii;ed his p4,)wer most carefully, and there was no reason whatever to insult him. Probably, since the time of Lord Chancellor SHAFTESBURY there is no other instance of a House of Commons having so be haved to the first Judge of the land. And such a Judge ? The whole legal profes sion affirm that a better or more upright Judge never adorned the Bench. It must add to the shame of the House of Com mons, if that body be sensible of such a human feeling, to reflect that it perpetrated this insult at the suggestion of an envious rival, who " hates that excellence he cannot reach." That Sir E. SUGDEN is totally destitute of all moral and physical dignity, and therefore hates them both when united in another, is not a good reason why the House of Commons should wantonly outrage the first Judge of the land. The public, however, will appreciate this arro gant, insolent conduct of the Tories, and take good care that they shall never have the power to exhibit their hateful characteristics as Minis ters of the Crown. It is delightful to see Lord BROUGHAM again at his post, and devoting his transcen dent talents to the cause of the people. As might naturally be expected, the Orange Tory prints have commenced to abuse him, and the Standard goes out of its way to inform its pious readers that he had the profaneness to travel on a Sunday. Lord BROUGHAM, from his first entrance into public life, has been the friend and advocate of popular rights; and as such has been looked upon with an " evil eye" by the aristocracy. Will the elegant and accomplished WAnwicK.venture, in his presence, to amuse his fellow Peers with sneering at the ignorance of the people ? It is a well known fact, that the clergy and aristocracy never forgave BROUGAAM for forcing on a reluctant Government the commission to inquire into the abuses of public charities. The scandalous disclosures that thus were made exceeded all belief; and there were numerous instances of re verend and titled plunderers, and rotten Cor porations, quietly pocheting the funds bequeathed by benevolent persons for the education of the children qt . the Poor. In his celebrated Letter to Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, which was republished in the lath volume of the " Pamphleteer," No. 23, he thus describes some few of those iniquities: " We were equally unable to ascertain how much in value of the St. Bee's school property remained in the hands of the Noble Lord, who sustains in his own person the double cha racter of trustee and lessee. It was in like man ner impossible to estimate the arrears due to the poor from the worthy Magistrates of Hunting_ don, and the noble family whose political interest in that borough has been founded upon the mis application of the charity estates." Who can wonder, after this, at the dcsperate struggle the Tory Peers made in 1839 to prevent the Education of the Poor, when they had dis covered so much more profitable a way of em ploying the charity funds ? The subjoined late and rather important news from Spain, has reached London, by an extraodinary expross from Paris, dated yesterday : MAnnin, JUNE 3.--A new Commission has been again named, for taking into eonsideration the establishment of banks in the provinces, for the purpose of furnishing funds to the agriculturists at a fair rate of interest. The Minister of Fi nance has not yet succeeded in obtaining any advances from the different capitalists, the latter trying to drive too hard a bargain. The resignation of this Minister is talked of, and although merely a rumour, the funds declined yesterday to 26 1 / 2 for cash, at which price they remain to-day. The Ministry has just received a check in the Chambers. In spite of their opposition to it, the Cortes have adopted, by 82 against 52, the project of the Commission, to the effect that Senators holding situations under Government shall not receive any salary during the session. The Member Lopez has resigned. M. Calatrava has been named Senator. 'I he health of the young Queen does not im prove. The Council of Regency, and the guardians appointed by Ferdinand's %, ill, in case of at.y unforeseen event to the Queen-Mother, have put in their claim to the guardianship. By an Extraordinary Express from Paris, we have news from that capital of Wednesday's date. Mar shal SOULT will discharge the duties of his office during his temporary sojurn in the country, for the benefit of his health, by means of estafettes. lie will be accompanied by his son, the Marquis of DALMATIA, who will not proceed as Ambassador to Rome until his father's health is restored. The absurd trepidations of the National and the Gazette de France, on the score of the existence of a Turkish partition treaty, signed by England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, are very properly ridiculed by their more sober Contempo raries. The Paris Journals of Tuesday add little to the intel ligence of the same date received on Wednesday by Ex press, and published in the afternoon Edition of The Sun. Marshal SOULT'S good humour has been restored by the appointment of his son, the Duke of DALMATIA Am• bassador to the Court of Rome. The illustrious Mar silal will therefore remain in office for the present. Ac cording to a statement in the Constitutionnel, the Cabinet has not come to any resolution touching the summoning of the Deputies to Paris to adopt the Peers' Amendments upon the Recruitment Bill. The Courrior Francais states Marshal SOULT will go into the country for a fortnight to vicruit his health, during which time he will transact no business whatever. This will lead to the ap pointment of an tinder Secretary of State of the W Department. it would appear from the following article, which we cony p from the National of Tuesday , that the closeness of the alliance between England and Russia begins to excite serious alarm in France. All Paris has been in excitement to-day. in consequence of extremely serous reports relative to the attitude of Russia and England with respect to France. While M. Guizot was en deavouring to re-enter the European conference, the work of the Treaty of July was continued in the East, by the manoeu vres of the two courts, which divide the influence in that quarter. Thanks to England and to Russia, thanks to both of them, the work of decomposition which is gradually dis:solving Turkey, is every day penetrating deeper into the heart of the empire. One insurrection follows another—every thing seems to be giving iv:iv, every hour shows some new ruin. There is nowhere any aehority that is respected. Accordingly Russil, which tees the Z.' onclusion approaching, which it has long expected, has comie+hended thetha tit pa w r a ti s tio n n ece o s u s g a h ry t to make haste. It conceives that to be immediately thought of, but it loes not ale the ne cessity of admitting France to this partition. Its meaning is, that things should remain, with respect to the East, in the si tuation in which they were placed by the Treaty of the i..`! 11 of July. Four Powers treated : therefore, four ought to regu late the sequel of the treaty. It is said that a note to this ef fect has been addressed to England, which immediately re flected and found all kinds of excuses not to sign the new pro tocol. Thus, the principle of the Treaty of the 15th of July would be applied even to the question of partition. England and Russia, it is said, are to have the lion's share. Austria to re ceive servia and a part of the Danubian provinces. Prussia to obtain something in another quarter. Such are the reports which have obtained great credit to-day. We believe that they are much exaggerated, but it is certainly not impossible that England and Russia strengthen their alliance, and cement it at our expense. We shall return - to this subject. - - - We can assure the National, that England has not the remotest intention of following up the Treaty of July by a partition treaty. There is a page in the histcry of the relations of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, towards Poland, which Great Britain will be the last to quote as supplying an example for the imitation of civilised States. The following are extracts from the papers : A son of the Duke Decaze left Paris on Monday with de spatches for St. Petersburgh. It is said that the object of his mission is to understand the reasons of the delay given to the signatures of the treaty said now to be under consideration in London. Queen Christina, of Spain, now at Paris, is said to be em ployed in writing a sketch of her political life, to be entitled " Eleven Years' Reign." The Conunerce says that— " The King of Sardinia, by an ordinance dated 11th May, has charged his Legation at Constantinople to create imme diately two sanatory establishments—viz., one at Constanti nople and The other at the Dardanelles. This measure is in tended to facilitate the navigation.of Sardinian ships trading with the Russian ports of the Black Sea, and of the Sea of Azoph. In this view the Sardinian vessels are to stop on their passage . by the two straits at the two new sanatory establish ments, and, avoiding all communication with the Turkish ports, will obtain a considerable diminution of the quarantine prese; ibed. This wise measure is worthy of being imitated by the French Government." A letter from Florence, dated 2Sth ult., in the Constitu tionnel, says that the Grind Duke of Modena has just granted to the clergy privileges and franchises which have seriously dis pleased all the Sovereigns of Italy, not excepting the King of Sardinia and the Emperor of Austria, and it is added that the Empress of Au s t r i a h as en d eavour ed, during her stay at Mo dena, to destroy the excessive influence of the clergy over the mind of the Grand Duke. According to this letter the favour shown by him to the clergy arose from his desire to obtain abso lution from the Pope for the offence of having hanged, without the previous consent of the Court of Rome, a priest who was implicated in the revolution of Modena. The Jesuits, who were charged by the Grand Duke with the negotiation at Rome, are said to have made it a condition of their success that he should enlarge the privileges of the priesthood in his dominions. The Gazette de France mentions the death of a gentleman of Savoy, the last of the illustrious family of Allinges, leaving a fortune 0125,000,000 f.

The accounts from the United States by the Britannia seem to hold out a promise of some improvement in commercial affairs ere long, but those from Canada are not satisfiotory, though we trust they will by the next packet exhibit a better statement. The question of the timber duties was absorbing all attention in the provinces. The funds closed rather firmly. Consols improved to 89 buyers for the opening. There was no transfer of money stock after Qne o'clock. Exchequer Bills were Bs. to 10s. premium, and India Bonds 3s. premium ; the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 973 to The foreign securities were still neglected. Spanish Active Bonds receded to 23 and 22; i , arid Portuguese Three per Cents. to 19k. Mexican Bonds were at 27;1, and Cqlombian at 214. Belgian stock realised 100. Shares were dealt in to a fair extent, at the previous quo tations. (From The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 9.—A rather better business has been done in the Cotton Market this day, the isles comprise 2,500 bales, without any alteration from the previous rates.

We have received New Yurk papers of the 20th May, five days later than last arrival. hank of the United States.—The adjorned meeting of the Stockholders was held on Tuesday.

In the Foreign Funds, particularly that of Spanish, the tran sactions have been insignificant. _ _ The great anxiety which prevailed during yesterday, owing to the non-arrival o !the Britannia steamer, from Boston and Halifax, has subsided this morning, by the happy arrival of the above steamer at Liverpool, which has enlivened the spirits of the merchants and underwriters at Lloyd's, as she was insured yesterday at twenty-five thousand pounds. The account received from Bristol, of the Osprey steam boat, of Waterford, having brought intelligence of her having seen, on the Bth June, an unusually large steam-boat in dis tress, off the Sallee Islands, has again caused great excitement in the City, particularly with the underwriters, owing to its being the pay day for the insurance upon the President steamer at Lloyd's. . . It is supposed, that in consequence of the intelligence from Bristol, the payment on the insurance of the President will be 'put off until further accounts have been received on the subject.

We just hear that the under-writers at Lloyd's have put off the payment of the insurance on the President steamer. .

It is said that the Lords of the Admiralty intend to despatch two steamers in quest of the large vessel seen by the Osprey, on its way from Waterford to Bristol. The safety of the Pre sident has again become a fertile source of discussion in the City. The Tea Sales to-day comnrhe upwards of 32,000 packages. Among the samples we noticed 20 packages of Assam, and 608 packages of the execrable stuff denominated washed and kiln dried, or what should be styled " dry : stick," another lot of the quantity recovered from the Westminster Indiaman, wrecked near Margate. Very little of the quantity offered has been sold, the greater part Wing taken in for higher prices, but the samples purchased have realised the previous quotations. The letters and papers by the Britannia steamer will be de livered this afternoon, in the course of less thin half an holy. Consols for Account, 89.

In addition to the price of Corn and Consols formerly published, the present table contains the total circulation of Bank of England notes, (with those of private Banks), the amount of exports and imports, and the expenditure f the State for each year from 1790 to 1840. The outlines of the table have the appearance of mountainous ridges, and to a fearful height some of them rise. For instance, the circulation of the notes of the Bank of England reached, in 1817, the enormous amount of thirty millions, and the expenditure in 1813 about four times higher than that of last year, being not less than 172 millions sterling. - - - - - We underst an d that -- Mr. J.

Sr. PETEEEEuRGII, MAY 28.—Up to the 24th of May 232 ships had arrived at Cronstadt, and 20 sailed. Up to the 21st of May 364 ships had arrived at Riga, and 101 sailed. The Gazette of the Senaix contains an autograph ukase of the Emperor, addressed t 9 the Council of the Em pire, by which the Grand Duke Alexander is appointed a Member of that Council. GHENT, JUN E s.—Last night one of our finest manufactories was destroyed ; it is the third which, within a very short time, has suffered the same fate. The fine cotton yarn manufactory of M. D, Hernptinne %vas destroyed by a dreadful conflagration, and nothing now remains but the bare walls, the damage amounting to 200,090 francs. The buildings and the machinery were insured by the Royal company of France. ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA. . LIVERPOOL, Icedl.oala . The Britannia hac, at last, arrived safe just when the anxious were beginning to prognostieie evil tidings she has arrived to set the fears of at re ,L. She wiis telegraphed off Holyhead at Ihilf-past eleven to-day, but the weather being then hazy the signals (lid not come through till nearly one o'clock ; she was evi dently " all right" in her machinery, as was testified by her passing the other stations on the line in quick suc cession, making fully ten miles an hour, and reached the Mersey in good style, through the Victoria channel (it being nearly four hours ebb tide) at half-past six, and landed her mail bags at a quarter before seven. We learn that the cause of her detention happened thus :—She left Boston, as advertised, on the 16th, and Halifax on the 18th, when, all being ready, she pro ceeded on her voyage. Shortly after leaving Halifax, and whilst still in charge of a pilot, she very unfortu nately got aground, but was got off at the next tide, and returned to Halifax, and, though she had not sustained any damage, it was deemed prudent by her careful as well as enterprising owners to send her to St. John's, where she was overhauled, and it was found that she might have proceeded on her voyage with safety. ' This circumstance delayed her departure from Halifax until the 29th, when she again sailed, with about 90 passengers, and has made the very rapid passage of 11 days. As the detention of the steamer was not known in New York in time to make up fresh despatches for her before she sailed on the 29th, we have no later dircot ad vices than the evening of the 15th. We gather, however, that the hearing of M'Leod's case, after being postponed to the 17th, came on on that day, and was likely to oc cupy some days ; the result had not reached Halifax when the Britannia left. There is no other news of po litical importance in the papers. Amongst the passengers by the Britannia we notice the names of Sir John Harvey, K.C.8., Lady Harvey and family ; Captain Nugent and Captain Cox, British army ; Captain Agnew, of 93d llighlanders ; Captain Crutchley, of the Fusileers ; Captain Fitzherbert, Rifle Brigade ; Major Bowen, Fairholme, of 71st Regi ment ; Captain Dickson, Mr. and Mrs. Ogden and fa mily, of Montreal ; the Catholic Bishop of Charleston, Judge Curter and lady, &c. They have entirely con curred in expressing their warm approbation of the kindness and hospitality of Captain Cleland, as well as of the excellence of his seaman-like qualities, and have fur ther subscribed a handsome sum to purchase a gold chronometer to be presented to him. The New York papers by this conveyance are one clay later than those received by the Stephen Whitney. (From the Evening Express, May 15. ) M‘l.Eon CASE.—The Supreme Court was crowded to ex cess this morning, in the expectation that this case would come up for argument. It had, however, been postponed, on the motion of Willis Hall, Attorney-General, at the adjournment of the Court on Thursday night, as he presumed the trial of Ezra White would not be coneliuled until this day, and he was desirous of having more time to prepare himself. The Court, therefore, fixed it for Monday morning, when it will take pre cedence of all other business. MONEY MARKET. 'WEEK ENDING THE 15TH OF MAY. A greater activity in business has been manifested the pre sent week than we have recently had occasion to notice, although the demand for money has been limited, and we make no alteration in our quotations. Good business paper is freely discounted in bank, and can be negotiated in the street at bank rates. We notice no improvement in the quotations of domestic ex change. A fair business has been done, at about the rates of the previous week. The transactions in sterling have been quite extensive, at a slight improvement. The fluctuations in stocks continue small, though the amount of business done is rather increasing. No improvement can be noticed in those descriptions usually denominated fancies," nor is the disposition evinced to make time - contracts which has heretofore been the case after an extreme depression. Con siderable investments are making in these stocks whose divi dends are considered certain, and the caution of c.ipitalists has never been more strongly exhibited than at present. Formerly large investments were made in stocks which had fallen the most, speculators reasoning that in those stocks the rise would soonest take place, and the profit would be greatest. At present the contrary may be said to be the fact, and it is those stocks which have declined least that are most freely sought. after. The rise in State stocks which we noticed a week or two since, has not been maintained, and they have receded nearly to the point of extreme depression. This may be att!ibuted to the great uncertainty still existing as to the payment of the in terest in July. We cannot consider this a doubtful matter, even if nothing should be done at the extra session calcu lated to restore confidence in our securities both at home and abroad. The division of the public lands %Total undoubtedly do more towards re-establishing confidence in the storks issued by the Western and South-western States than any other measure that could be devised, short of an assumption of State debts by the General Government ; a mode of relief which appears to meet with but little approbation in any quarter. And it certainly appears, that with a large public domain in the hands of the General Government, which, under a revision of the tariff, would not be necessary or desirable for the purposes of Government, measures should be taken speedily to distribute it among the several owners, or to make such arrangements for its ultimate distribution as shall rel;eve the States from the sus picion now resting upon their credit, and afford a reasonable guarantee of a fund to aid in the ultimate redemption of the debt, aside limn the income of their internal improvements. The course that will be taken by the banks of Pennsylvania on the subject of the new law appears not to be definitely settled. The opinion most prevalent is, that many, and those considered most solvent, will decline it. We have heard it gravely argued that it was for the interest of the banks to ac cept it, inasmuch as, in addition to an exemption from the paws and penalties of the previous law for five years, it was to fact giving them a bonus of the interest on the State stock for that time, hiving them the privilege of issuing their own obligations without interest in exchange for those of the State with interest. lhiq is certainly plausible reasoning as far as it goes, but we conceive there are other considerations of some weight in this matter. _ _ The stock becomes a legal tender only while the banks remain suspended, and when the next resumption comes, if ever it should come, the loss upon the Sate stock may exceed the previous gain of interest of the other contin gent advantages. It may he that many of the banks anti• cipate their ability to re3ume in a much shorter time than that fixed by law, and wish to avoid so large an increase of liability; and it undoubtedly is the fact that a depreciation in the currency, such as that now contemplited, would be a great obstacle in their way whenever they undertake a resumption. All will admit that the nearer their currency is kept to the value of specie the less difficulty will be experienced in effect ing an entire and permanent resumption. It is stated that the Directors of the United States Bank have it in contemplation to make another trusteeship, for the purpose of protecting their deposits and circulation. This is undoubtedly correct, after the previous steps taken for protect ing their post-notes. We noticed that another meeting of the Stockholders takes place on Tuesday next, when something further may be determined as to the fate cf this unfortunate Institutit n.

BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY. We have been for some hours in a state of excitement and anxiety en account of another report of the safety of one of these steamers, brought to this port by the ()Trey, Waterford steamer. I therefore lost no time in immediately repairing to the Company's office, where, finding the information fully con firmed, 1 instantly posted to Cumberland Basin, where the Os irey was lying, and succeeded in finding the Captain ( Bur gess), who gave me the following particulars :—" At fifteen minutes past two, P.m., of yesterday (Tuesday, the Bth inst. ). at about eight leagues N. W. and by N. of the Saltese Islands, or about mid-channel between the Smalls and Saltese, I saw a tremendous large steamer, which looked to be (between masts), as long as the Osprey, (a large Irish trader). She had a black hull, a foremast, a jib which was set at her bowsprit end, and outside of that a jib boom without any jib. She bad a fore and aft foresail set, and a small fore-topsail, which appeared to be set at the top of her foremast, as if she had no fore-topmas. She had a mizen mast, and a very small gaff-topsail set over it, but had lost both her mainmast and funnel. She was standing N.N. W., and, as far as I could make out, appeared to be steering well by the wind. She was rolling tremendously, and as she pitched eith her deck towards as I thought I could distinguish that the inside of her bulwarks were painted yellow. I could not myself tee any passengers where I stood (I heard from one of the sailors that he could distinctly see persons on board). The Captain also said that the steamer appeared to be about four miles and a half from the Osprey, and dead in the wind's eye. She had a long " snook," or what tailor's term a " raking head." Captain Burgess says that in his opinion she must have come in from the western ocean, and she was evidently in distress. Her in tention probably was to have reached Milford, but finding she could nut gain that port she had tacked, and was fetching down for the coast of Ireland. Upon examining the chart, and coin paring her course with it, Captain Burgess is of opinion that she could not reach Waterford, and it was exceeding doubtful whether she could fetch Cork. We are sorry to observe that in Paisley the dis tress among the weavers is very severely felt. It has been ascertained 'that not fewer than 1,369 are oat of employment, to whom may be added, as draw-boys, pirn-winders, &c., as many more, making in all 2,738, not to speak of warpers and many others whose interests are affected by the same causes which have thrown the weavers out of employment. Paisley is indeed in a very depressed condition—pauperism appears to be gradually on the increase—a melancholy proof of which is afforded by the fact that, in the Abbey parish, the poors' as scscment has been this year increased by upwards of 1,0001.-- I Glasgow Argus. AGED AND DECAYED FREEUASONS.—The sixth annual festival in aid of the Asylum for Aged and De cayed Freemasons, will take place at the Freemasons' Tavern on Tuesday, the Lth inst. We are glad to learn that this useful institution is well supported by the brotherhood. Last year there was a splendid meeting on the occasion, and we have no doubt that on Tuesday neat there will be an equal, if not a superior, display. Some excellent singers are engaged, and judging !rom the past, there will be no lack of good speeches. The Parisien relates the following incredible story —A young girl at Saint-Gilles (Gard), while gathering mulberry leaves, was stung in her neck by a large fly which had been feeding on the putrid carcass of some animal. The wound, from being impregnated with the impure matter from the fly, immediately became inflamed, accompanied by the mod excruciating pain. The wound was cauterized, and everything done that medical aid could devise, but without effect, and the poor girl died the following day in gnat agony.-. auei g nani's Messenger r, ~ -. .....,: O.

After the performance of My Wife's Dentist, a new comedy. in three acts, called Belford Castle ; or, The Scottish Gold Mine, was produced at this house last night. The fol lowing is an outline of the plot :—Mr. Muckle (Mr. May wood), happy in the pos,ession of eountless thousands, an event of rare occurrence, we opine, north of Auld Reekie, immediately after the '45, which is the period in which the plot is laid, is a bachelor, slid has a niece and nephew, both handsome and both susceptible of soft impressions. The nephew (Mr. F. Vining) sees and falls in love with Lady Grace Lorimer (Mrs. Stirling), the daughSer of a proud but pennyless Earl, and the niece (Miss P. Herter.) listens with delight to the ad dresses of a young military officer (Sir. Howe). The Earl of Belford (Mr. Walled() has been obliged to leave the country, in consequence of having been out in the 45, and his daughter, Lady Grace, during his absence, is supported and protected by a Mr. Stapleton (Mr. G. Bennett), her father's steward, and on old Muckle's visiting Farmer Stapleton one morning, tie finds to his surpri,e and indignatisn that his nephew, of whom he is tenderly fond, is over head and ears in love with the tocherless daughter of a haughty and exiled aristocrat, who had always treated him with indignity. Upon this discovery he gets in a towering passion, forbids all further intercourse, and makes a hasty retreat, forcing. his nephew sing with him. Next morning he relents, for gives, and at length becomes as violent in favour of the match as he was before against it. The happy day is fixed and all is sunshine, when behold a messenger ar rives in " haste post haste," with a letter from the lady's father, stating that the sentence of exile had been can celled—that he was on his way home, and that, hearing of her marriage, he forbade the bans. lhe proud lord of a few barren and overburdened acres arrives at Belford, and spurns at and breaks off the alliance; but after persuasion and entreaty had failed, the wealthy Muckle brought his money bags into such active operation against the pompons noble, that he ultimately consented to pocket the insult of having his for tuneless daughter married to a handsome youth with a princely fortune. This is an outline of the plot, lout the progress of the niece and her lover fui nish materials for an underplot, and at the last scene all is happily terminated. Mr. Maywood was, of course, the chief actor—indeed, if we mistake not, the play has been got up to exhibit his personation of Scottish character ; and, with the exception of Mackay, of Edinburgh, there is no actor on the boards can approach hint in his particular walk. His representation of the bustling, persevering, and wealthy, but kind-hearted Muckle, was true to the life, and elicited much applause ; and he was ably sup ported by Messrs. Bennett, Wallack, and Strickland, and by Mrs. Stirling and Miss I'. Horton. The character of Muckle has no claims to originality, being but a diminished copy of Sir Walter's Bailie Nicol Jarvie ; but the dialogue is generally humorous, and seldom dull or insipid, and this, with a happy grouping of characters in felicitous situations, obtained a de cided triumph for the actors and the author, which the au dienCe testified by frequent applause. On the falling of the curtain, Mr. Maywood, who was called for, came forward, and made his bow, and the piece was announced for repetition on Saturday. CHILDRENS' FRIEND SOCIETY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 9, Throgmor ton-street, June!), 1841. Sir—The Committee have this morning received an intima tion from a gentleman, who is convinced that the Society has benefited many poor children, who would otherwise have be come a burthen upon the community, that he will present the munificent donwion of 500/. if the Committee will continue their endeavours to ameliorate the condition of destitute chil dren, by receiving them as heretofore, and training them in religious, mo, al, and industrious habits. The Committee beg you will favour them by the insertion of this note.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. SPARKE, Secretary. [This liberal offer we are afraid has come too late. The Society is broken up, in consequence of the false statements and ingratitude of the very parties for whose relief it was established. Captain Brenton, who was the founder of the institution, died of a broken heart when he found his humane and incessant labours for the benefit of poor and deserted children so ill requited. It is altogether a melancholy history, which we believe some of the conductors of London papers would gladly sink into oblivion.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-Our worthy representative, E. B. Clive, Esq., M.P., presented to Parliament on the 2d instant a petition from the city of Hereford, praying for the removal of those unwise and unjust laws which deny the right of the people to exchange the produce of their labour for the productions of other coun tries, and which sanction tiie iniquitous monopolies in corn, sugar, and other food ; and that those measures introduced by her Majesty's Ministers may nut be obstructed, &c. The petition was signed by persons professing every shade of politics, Whigs, Turves, Radicals, and Chartists, the whole number amounting to 1,007, obtained in three days • among them the Mayor and Magistrates, the Aldermen and Town Council, several of the resident clergy of the Establishment, al the Dissenting ministers except the Wesleyan minister, with the names of the oldest and most influential tradesmen of the city. Now, Sir, as your paper is more read in this rity than any other, 1 wis railer so prised that it was not repiirtut when the petition was presented. I trust 4,11 win tak e an Opp: r t n „,, y itt doing so. I am, Sir, )uurs resiwettuil,, IleletUrtt, June 9, l'd4l. 1. W. H. [ We do no , . see any notice of the poitioti in the other papers, and p:obably Mr. Clive was not heard. Our Correspondent would not complain if he knew the difficulty reporters have sometimes in catching the names of Members and ulaces.] DESTIYUTIoN AMONG THE HAND Lt oNI WEAVERS. —We are deeply grieved to learn that this body of operatives are at present e.aduring much privation, in conse quence of the want of work. 'the effect of even one day's idleness among this inebrtueate class is to bring upon their to.. milies alt the horrors of want, end the drea,ifur con,equence of a suspension of labour for any lengthened period may there fore be easily conceived. Driven almost to desperation by the circumstances in w hich they were placed, a meeting of hand-loom weavers, amounting to some hundreds, was, on Friday afternoon la,t, held in the Public Green, to consider what steps they ought to take for procuring immediate relief. It was resolved, after some deliberation, that the best course to follow was to send a deputation to the Lord Provost, with a plain statement of their case. This was ac cordingly done, and, in the course of the afternoon, lour of their number waited upon his Lordship, who received them with his usual kindness and urbanity. 't'-ho effeot of the inter view was a meeting of the Relief Committee on Saturday, called by direction of his Lordship, when it was at once de termined to give immediate relief to the more destitute person of the idle weavers, and afterwards to enter upon consideration of the best means of giving them some description of out-door labour. A quantity of meal was perchased, and a supply served out to about 160 families, sufficient to sustain them for a tew days, till the future arrangements for providing work could be entered into. The Committee have not yet deeded what kind of work the weavers are to be employed upon, but the breaking of stones has been spoken of.— Glasgow Argus. EXTENSIVE FORGERIES IN GLASGOW.— On Friday last a respectable mercantile cotton house in this town discovered that one of their clerks had absconded, having committed forgeries on the firm and two banks in town, to the amount of 8,6201. The forgeries were executed with great skill. Having this amount in his possession, he asked permis sion to visit some friends in the Highlands for a few days, and the favour being granted, and he unsuspected, the forgeries were not discovered till Friday last, giving him eight days' start. The key of the safe in which the bank book was kept also disappeared at the time he went off, which, it is presumed, he has taken with him, in the expectation that the bank busi ness might be delayed by the opening of the safe, and so affo:d him time in case of a sudden cuscovery. He is about twenty three, regarded as sober and honest, and has teen many years in the service of the Company.—Glasgow Chronicle. BELFA S T.—Our accounts from Belfast this morning are most cheering. The letters speak with perfect confidence of the success of Lord Belast and Mr. Ross, whose admirable speech, at the Ulster A socia!ion, published in this journal on Saturday, has won him many friends from the Tory ranks. Emerson T (-intent yesterday issued a piece of delusion in the shape of an Address, and commeneed his canvas, but already he must feel that his cluom is sealed.—Dublin Evening Post. - --;,.• BRUSSELS, JUNE 7.—This year there will be only one period for the exorcise of the troops, at the camp of Beverloo, which will commence on the 25th of this month. The troops in the camp will consht of four regiments of in fantry, two of cavalry, and several batteries of artillery. For some days past the temperature affords a remarkable instance of those sudden transitions which are frequent in our country. Ld The centigrade thermometer, which, for several days, was not below 28 degrees, and rise as high as 30 degrees, fell yester day evening to 9degrees. 'I his morning, we have bad an icey 'rain alternative with a mo s t di.,agreeable north wind.
