LONDON: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1841. The Lords indulged last evening in a long and some what criminatory and recriminatory conversation about the Scotch Church, the condition of which seems to plague and vex their Lordships quite as much as it plagues and vexes the people of Scotland. There is no cure k,r the opposition of priestly power to the law. All other men can be held in subjection, or be constrained to obedience ; the priests claim a co-ordinate power with the Legislature, and will only obey when obedience suits their interests, or squares with their principles. The conver sation, though long, led to nothing. The principal speakers were Lords MELBOURNE, BROUGHAM, and BEL HAVEN, the Earl of ABERDEEN, the Duke of ARGYL L, and the Marquis of BREADALBANE. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Charitable Trusts Bill, and explained that the object of it was to secure to the poor the benefit of these trusts. Lord LYNDHURST oppoSed the motion, because the municipal bodies, in whose hands many of these trusts are placed, are Dissenterf,, and the trusts were left to members of the Church of England. He moved that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. Lord BROUGHAM supported the second reading, and expressed his surprise that Lord LYNDHURST should oppose such a Bill, so necessary to establish a right to this property, on such a ground. Lord WHARNCLIFFE supported the view of Lord LYNDHURST ; the Earl of RADNOR expressed his asto nishment at Lord LYNDHURST'S conduct. Their Lordships divided, and the Bill was put off by 52 to 36. At Half-past Eight their Lordships adjourned till Thursday. In the Commons the St. John's Hospital Winchester Bill was reported, after some, opposition on the part of Mr. LEADER and a division. in which he was supported by 23 anti opposed by 80 'Members. The only business which occupied the House, besides forwarding several Bills, was Mr. SCHOLEFIELD'S motion concerning the distress or the country, followed by Mr. Hista-Ev's addition -referring to the unjust pressure of taxation on the middle and lower classes. Mr. SCROLEFIELD and Mr. HINDLEY explained their views in very useful speeches, to which we must now content ourselves by referring, and were supported by Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. BAINES. Sir :FRANCIS BURDETT made a rambling attack on the Government, insisted that the agricultural interest was the great source of Britain's wealth and greatness, and that all the distress of the country arose from maladmi nistration of the Government. • Mr. LADOCCHERE took a brief notice of the worn-out ,patriot's querulous complaint, and advised his Hon. Friend to withdraw his motion, as, if pressed to a con clusion, it could lead to no result. Before Mr. BAINES could conclude his speech, Sir STRATFORD CANNING moved that the House be counted, and it was counted out, so at once disposing of the de bate and the motion. The Tories have of late taken great credit for the reductions they made in the national expen diture while they were in office. Their journals have also on several occasions praised Sir Ro- BERT PEEL and the party for judicious ameliora tions in the criminal code. By so doing they have rendered a profound homage to the exer tions of the Whigs in opposition, for both eco nomy and the amelioration of the criminal code were favourite Whig measures, which they con tinually urged on the Tory Government. In fact, the measures for which alone the Tory jour nals can now give their party credit, were the measures of their opponents surreptitiously taken out of the hands of the Whigs, or reluctantly adopted by their antagonists. Whatever the Whigs have done in office their adversaries ad mit, by their present praise of measures which the Tory Government adopted from the Whigs ) _ that they were in opposition great and trtle statesmen. At present they labour under some reproaches for what they have neglected to do in office, and ' '-•.= i 4 what they have done erroneously. Acting in the face of a powerful opposition, they have been most closely wat4ed, and severely tried ; and if they have not come fully up to expectation, they have far surpassed whatever was done, by their antagonists, when their power was unlimited. Unencumbered during the las: ten years by of ficial responsibility, bound by no oath, to main tain every abuse, what have the Tories in oppo sition done for the nation ? What measures have they proposed which their adversaries plume themselves on having adopted. What are the merits on which they go to the country ? What are the claims of the Tories on the gratitude and support of the intelligent constituency of the empire ? We will do them the justice to say that they did propose one measure which their adversaries adopted with advantage. Sir Robert Peel's sug gestion as to the Jamaica Bill has worked well. Besides this the Tories have in a great many in stances forced their measures, by the aid of a Tory House of Lords, on the Ministers, who have adopted them as compromises, and accepted them as the nearest approach the Tories would allow to general utility. But those measures the Whig journals will always decry, and will never speak of then: as the Tory journals speak of the measures which the Tories took from the Whigs as constituting the titles of the Whigs to public approbation. The conduct of the Tories, as an opposition, gives them no claims on the support of the electoral body. There is not a single abuse of which they have not made themselves the champions. Not one bad law has been passed by the Whigs, such as the Police Act,—not a single good measure has been resisted by them, such as the ballot, or the extension of the suffrage, but they have been supported by the Tories. Every extravagance of which the Ministers were guilty, save one—the proposal to give 50,0001. to Prince ALBERT—that foolish act of a fond old man—has found favour with the Tories. They have called out for enlarged establish ments, and have increased the necessity for them, by depreciating the maritime power of Great Britain in the eyes of Europe. Not one improvement of the least magnitude,—not one economy of the least value, has been suggested or carried into effect by them; and the Tories in opposition have only been distinguished froin the Tories in office by wanting the power to do great mischief. At length a great crisis has arrived in pub lic affairs. Great distress overwhelms the peo ple, and the revenue is unequal to the expendi ture. The " condition of England" question forces itself like a moving glacier on the attention of un willing statesmen. Poverty and discontent go hand in hand ; and an impoverished people, with Chartism, have taken the place of prosperity and love for the Constitution. What remedies do the Tories suggest for this alarming state cf things? How do they propose to restore physi cal prosperity, and bring about improved opinions? On what grounds do they ask the confidence of the country ? Mr. GOULDURN said, let things alone. Sir ROBERT PEEL made light of the distress, and told the House of Commons to look to the revival of confidence in the Banks of the United States, to put an end to distress and Chartism in England. The main principle of Conservatism is to maintain the system which has brought about these ca latnities. The Tories will alter nothing, they will amend nothing. They will vigorously ad minister the law; but no improvement In the the Executive Government, suppose that were an improvement, can amend the condition of the people. It is the system which is faulty, and that the Tories defend. They are satisfied, though the people are in distress and are filled with discontent, and they will, if they have the power, by some increased taxation, endeavour to supply the wants of the State. They look only to the few, and for their bene fit they will maintain and sharpen every restric tion. They propose, if the Government be placed in their hands, to make it more coercive and more expensive. The champion of the Church hopes, when the Tories are in office, to bring forward with success its claims to addi tional endowments. In fact, measareg, like that proposed by Sir R. INGLis are the only novel ties the Tories offer; and their only remedy for distress and discontent is to increase the burdens of the people. On the grounds that they have done nothing for the nation during their ten years' opposition, that theypropose to maintain the present system in all its vigour, augmenting restrictions and burdens, they ask the support of the constituencies. They have another merit. The Whigs have proposed measures which they suppose will give ease to the people, will at once replenish the Exchequer, and extend trade. The additional merit of the Tories is, that they have endeavoured to stifle those measures in their birth. They will do nothing, they will propose nothing them selves, but they thwart and obstruct others. Such are the Tories. When in power they in flicted distress by severe taxation, and sabred those who complained. In opposition they did nothing to remedy the evils of their administra tion; and now, when the system has become no longer bearable, they use all their power to pre vent its being amended. If the constituencies confide in such imbecile or wicked politicians, they well deserve that misery, anarchy, and slavery which will await them. The meeting at the London Tavern yesterday, to receive Lord JOHN RUSSELL, was never sur passed in wealth, rank, talents, and numbers by any similar meeting. It was a high honour to the City, which has, at length, taken up the noble cause of free trade in a noble spirit. Its example will be most efficacious in producing good deeds throughout the land. We can venture to praise it, because we have, heretofore, reproved it for its slack ness. Of the speech of the Chairman, Mr. JONES LLOYD, a gentleman distinguished amongst the wealthy men of London for great wealth, and amongst the _learned and accomplished inhabitants of : this metropolis for great ac quirements, it is impossible to speak too highly. It was discreet, manly, eloquent. He described the cause for which they had assem bled as the cause of wisdom and justice, the legislation,causeofreasonable liberality and enlightened which were ' at the same time, the characteristics of his ow n speech. His manner of introducing Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the meet ing, was at once dignified and flatt e ri ng t o the le n L t orie•dpreasnednt.to w th e e ha gr ve e n a ot otherC 1 1 . e i e . wi N ll no ob ob d gret in referring to Mr. J. LLOYD'S eloquent speech, than the regret that no enlightened and intelligent constituency have yet secured hi s services in that House which his knowledge and his eloquence are so well calculated to adorn. ex- Lord JoHN RUSSELL spok e nobly. He plained clearly the 'grounds on which the Mi nisters rest their measures and justify an appeal to the people. He was able to say that Lord LEI CESTER and Lord SPENCER are both favourable to an alteration in the Corn-laws, and that the latter, had Lord FITZWILLIAM'S motion been brought forward, would have voted for it. The Noble Lord, already distinguished as the champion of religious liberty, and in that character the great friend of Dissenters, has by his speech yester day, and by the great impulse he has given to the doctrines of free trade, now earned for him self the title of the champion of commercial free dom. In the City of London he can have no higher character, and men of all political princi ples will unite to secure his return. We under stand, in fact, that many pro fessed Tories, but friends of free trade, will support him, so that his return will not only be sure, but t r iumphant. The Noble Lord properly said of the o pp osin g candidates, that they have shrouded their pur poses in a studied obscurity. They dare not, in fact, openly oppose doctrines and measures which are essential to the prosperity of London. Thee meeting was unanimous in resolving to support the four Reform candidates, and we trust that the return of the whole, as well as that of I,•;rd one ..nussELL, - is assured. At the close, Commodore NAPIER, with that readiness and good humour by which he is dis tinguished as much as by his gallantry, addressed a few words to the meeting, and encouraged the citizens to do, as he has ever done, their duty to the country. We are great admirers of his gal lantry, but the gallantry of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in throwing himself on the City of London, is a feat of unexampled daring in a Minister of the Crown, and wilt give courage to his party. Other towns will follow the example of London, and other Ministers will find popular favour. The meeting was a noble pulsation of the heart, which will be felt in every extremity, of the empire. By extraordinary express we have received Paris news of yesterday. The arrival of the Levant Mail at Mar seilles, on Monday night, was telegraph; Al to Paris yes terday morning. This mail is four days overdue. An account reached Paris yesterday that Admiral Sir RonF.nT STOPFORD has given up the command of the British fleet in the Mediterranean, and is about to re turn to England. The affair of the DIDIER correspondence is not to be brought before the Court of Peers, as was at first as-. sorted. The Government thinks that this time it may rely upon obtaining a verdict from a Jury. The Temps, in our opinion very properly, is against any appeal to a Court of Law, either in the case of Drpirl.. or La Contemporaine. So temperate and judicious are the ob servations of this Journal, that we have pleasure in giving them a place in our columns : " Not having been able to prevent scandal, it at least be came necessary to stifle it. You are not caned upon to occupy yourselves with the acts of the Duke of Orleans, but to defend the honour of the King of the French, to whom a forgery has imputed sentiments unworthy a King, unworthy an honest man, unworthy a Frenchman. The surreptitious letters of the Contemporaine are evidently false and calumnious. Proclaim aloud that they are so, declare that they were offered to ou for money, but that you would bestow nothing upon them but contempt. Hold to this, and stand firm. Engage not in the uncertainties of a process in which it cannot be proved that the letters of 1830 are authentic, but in A‘hich it cannot be proved by you that those of 1809 are forgeries. And now, as to the new affair—Didier junior has undertaken to clear the memory cf his father from a stigma which he thinks has been east upon it. One passage of his letter seems to implicate the King, then Duke of Orleans, in 1841, as a partisan in a conspiracy got up in 1817 ; and you propose another process, when you have only to deal • with a puerile and insignificant accusation ! and when your answer is to be found in a simple reference to history ! A letter has been printed stating that the King, as Duke of Orleans, was the secret mover and invisible director of the conspiracy of Grenoble. It has been published that, before quitting Paris, Didier had a long conference with a Prince who desired the overthrow of the elder branch of the Bourbons, and that a few days afterwards the conspiracy broke out. You regard this assertion as calumnious ; reply then to it by facts and not by huissier—do not say that the character of the Prince who is ac cused, his known prudence, and his position in the midst of France at that time garrisoned by foreign troops, rendered such conduct on his part improbable. Say simply that, at the period when he is represented to have been conspiring in Paris with Dither, he was at Palermo. If you had adopted this course, at the end of a few days the revelations of Didier and the inductions to which they led would have sunk into oblivion." A Council of Ministers was held on Sunday at the Tuil,Tieo. After it had broken up the King left for Neeilly. Sunday being the Fete Dieu, the churches of Paris were splendidly decorated and numerously attended. At Saint Roch, besides the usual decorations on simi'ar festivals, upwards of 500 orange-trees, grenad - ers, and other flowering and odori ferous shrubs and. plants, were arranged about the high altar and side chapels. The Queen and Princesses attended the mass, which was accompanied by the organ and a full orchestra. The Toulon journals announce that, on the 6th inst., the Commandant, with 14 officers and four companies of the sth battalion of the Foot Chasseurs, amounting to 513 men, em barked in the Oise transport for Mostaganem, and that, in the morning of the 6th, the Triton took on board 1,020 of the Vincennes tirailleurs, including 27 officers, with the same des.. tination. 1 hey add that the Veloee, Cameleon, and MeteaT steam-vessels, were to take their departure on the 10th for Algeria, with 1,200 more foot chasseurs. XENCIi AFRICA.—A letter from Algiers, of a date ante rior to the last telegraphic despatch, states that Abd-el-Kader had united his main force at La Macta, expecting, probably, that General Bugeaud would take the road of the defiles, where, in 1635, the Emir laid an ambuscade for General Trezel ; but the expedition having taken another route, the Emir followed the movement of General Bugeaud in the Weat. Two of his Kalifas, Ben Hamedy and Ben-Thamy, at the head of 5,000 cavalry, 2,000 regular infantry, and a large number of Kabyles, had effected a junction. Another Kalifa, Sidi-Embareck, who - ;e advanced guard had come up with the French at Meder or Medjaher, was put to flight by a discharge of artillery. ARAB PRISONERS.—The Minister of War has given orders that all the Arabs made prisoners in Algeria shall be treated as prisoners of war, and sent to some one of the strong places of the interior, and afterward; tran,ferred to the Isle of Saint Marguerite, near the mouth of the Var, in the Mediterranean, two leagues from Antibes, and one from Cannes, to be there confined in the Castle. Ex-REGENT of SPAIN.—We find the following in the Temps :—" It is said that Queen Chri,tina is getting every day more melancholy, and talks less of Madrid, from which circumstance her intimate friends would infer that she thinks of it the more. On Saturday she received several per sons, and the principal object of the meeting w as to read and examine a despatch received from M. Gonzales, in which that Minister demands from the ex-Queen the sacrifice of her rights as guardian, which would be taking from her a ground of con solation which she much values. Her indignation was very great, and it was necessary, in order to pacify her, to give her an assurance from a high quarter that efforts should be made to oppose the views of Don Francisco de Paulo. There have already been som, acts of hzstility shown against the ambi tions Infante, who has gone to Chateau Margaux to nurse his spleen against the Tuileries. It is even added that the Infanta Dona Carlotta, who much desires the guardianship of the little Queen, and who would moreover be delighted to displace Ma dame Mina, the pr, sent Governess, utters reproaches against the Tuileries." MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE.—The Pre curseur of Antwerp says, on the authority of letters from Hol land, that a marriage between the Prince de Joinville and the Princess Sophia, daughter of the King of Holland, may be considered as agreed upon. The Temps, in noticing the re port as to the probability of such an alliance, mentions a ru mour that the mission of the son of the Duke Decazes to St. Petersburgh is for the purpose of obtaining the Emperor's ap probation of it. INSURRECTION IN CANDIA.—A letter from Candia, in the Constitutionnel, states that Tahir Pacha had landed there 5,000 men and a strong park of artillery. The European Consuls had in vain endeavoured to persuade the insurgents to submission. It is added that one of the insurgents had been sent on a mission to the King of Greece, with an offer of the sovereignty of Candia, and that notwithstanding the blockade, men and arms continued to be received by the revolted inha bitants of Candia. A letter from Belgrade, 31st ult., in the Augsburg Gazette, says—" The Christians of the province of Charzegovid com plain loudly against the exactions of their governor. The Pacha has been several times summoned to Constantinople to account for his cot duct, but has always found pretexts for de ferting departure. In the mean time the minds of the people b c )me more and more excited, and an insurrection may be expected if the Pacha is not shottly recalled." A letter from Rome, May 25, in the Leipsic Gazette, saes : ""Don Miguel resides at Albano in great retirement. When the'Pope had decided on recognizing Queen Donna Maria, he sent for the Pretender to the throne of Portugal, and an nounce'l to him in a private audience that serious reasons in duced him o recogni-e the existing Government of Portugal. The Mince was much affected. The Pope endeavoured to console him by pointing out to him in perspective a pension including nears for past years, and declared to him that he would write to that effect to the Court of Portugal, and if that was not sufficient he would despatch a Legate. Don Mi guel replied, Holy Father, you are the Father of the Chris tian world ; do as you think proper.' His Holiness then em braced him, holding out some hopes of a change of circurn. stances. Miguel returned home, when his friends, among whom was the Bishop of Evora, so persuaded him that four days afterward; he sent M. Labradie to Rome to beg the Pope not to interfere in his behalf, as he was unwilling to re nounce his rights. The Pope felt highly displeased, as he had already written to the Portuguese Government." Direct accounts from Syria say that the Emirs, of the Drusea and Maronites have positivelynniified to the Turkish autharities that they will not recognize any hatti scherif ur tariff, or in (retie !al any to which they have not given their free consent. ' They have at this moment a corps of observation at Jericho and in the environs, and an advanced post at Ascalon. These troops are intended as a check on the Bedouins, who take advantage of the present state of anarchy to ravage the country. The successes of the Candiotes fill the hearts of the Chris tians with joy, while the massacres in Bulgaria irritate them against the i%lus,ulmans. The Bisheps have just ordered a fu neral service in all the churches to the memory of the Bulga rian ma-tyrs. At Damascus the Mussulmans, the Christians, and the Jews are watching each other. At Alepi , o the minds of the pi o f le are equally agitated. All commerce has ceased. —Le Commerce. _ _ oftS 4 4, j e" ••• `4474''-'l4 iL 44 - 4 'Q. - M 0 ' • TUE SUN% LONDON. VTEDNEDa V. JUNE : I6.

A Com mission had been appointed to inquire into the state of the QUEEN'S health. Her MAJESTY'S ordinary medical advisers recommended sulphur baths, but the physicians appointed by the Cortes declared such baths to be unne cessary. It is no new thing to find doctors differing, and yet this difference among the Sangrados of Spain ap pears to have greatly disconcerted the Cortes. In the Senate Senor CAnnAscei made a motion to obtain from the Government some account of the vounG , QUEEN'S health. The Government, of course; could only ref,n. the Cortes to the reports made by the Commissioners. It is reported that DONNA ISABELLA 11. is of a scorbutic ha bit of body, and that it is very doubtful whether she will live to attain h e r ma j or ity. Her sister is likewise very delicate. The Minister of Finance was labouring in vain to hook the capitalists. None of them appeared disposed to swallow the bait. No honeyed words—no fine promises— no visions of prospective wealth had tempted them to exchange their cash for the paper securities of the Spanish Government. Still the Ministers did not abso lutely despair of finding fresh fools with more bullion than brains. The funds, however, continued heavy, and in the Fives sales were with difficulty effected at 26i for cash. German Papers of late date 3 have been received this morning. The following paragraphs from them include all the news they contain of any European interest : VIENNA, JUNE' 4.—The Grand Duchess of Oldenburg arrived here yesterday. and lodges at the r;sidence of her brother, the Prince of \Vasa. According to merchants' letters from Pesdh, the town. of Kaschan, in Hungary, Las been visited with a dreadful con flagration, which destroyed above 100 houses. Inaxisn FRONTIERS, MAY 31.—The three overdue mails from Seres and Salonichi have not yet arrived, nor have we been able to obtain any certain information respecting the causes of the delay; we hope to receiva them with the next mail from Constantinople. Letters from the Herzeaowina say that the old Governor of that province tas repeatedly received orders from the Porte to repair to Constantinople, but continues to decline complying with those orders, under the pretext that his great age, and the wounds which he has received in the . public service, will not allow him to undertake So long a journey. Meantime the oppression of the Christian popu'ation in the province of the Herzegowina cmtinues in an alarming manner. 'the truce between the Vizier of Mostar and the Vladika of Men tenegro, which expired en the 3d of May, has been renewed. The typhus rages in a fearful manner in Bosnia. , • VIENNA, JUNE 4.—The Directors of the Arstrian National Bank yesterday fixed the dividend for the first half y-ar of 18-11, at 38 florins, reserving besides four florins for thy. divi dend of the second half year. The dividend fOr the whole year may therefore be taken at 84 florins, wi.ich sum represews a capital of 1,630 florins, and consequently proves the proceeds of the back have not been affected, as was feared, by the circu lation of credit, which has been o'ten spoken of, and therefure a rise in the prizte of Bank Slia: es may be speedily eXpected.— • Allgemeine Zeitung, Jur,e 10. Letters from Constantinople of.the 26th ult.,.have been received this morning. The Porte, in .order to allay the irritation in the provinces of Adrianople, Silistria, and Monastic, had removed their Governors and appointed MHz PACIIA, Nonni EFFENDI, and EESCHID EFFENDI to succeed them. The new hatti scheriff, with the latest concessions made to the VICEROY at the suggestion of the rour Powers, was to be forwarded to Alexandria before the end of May. The Lloyd's Company steamer Le Comte Calloat had arrived at Smyrna from Beyrout, and was performing quarantine there. One case of plague had showed itself on board. According to reports made by the Captain the plague was committing dreadful ravages throughout Syria. In the towns of Bey:out and Acre the number of deaths daily was very great. To add to the miseries of Syria the people are very discontented, and have great reason to complain of the harshness and cruelty of the newly appointed Ttirkish authorities. Mr. Fox Maule is to be appointed Vice-President of the Board of Trade, in the room of Mr. Sheil, who goes out as Governor of Bombay. Sir James Graham, turned out of Pembroke, rejected by ,Westminster, and having lost all hope of getting re turnel by any independent, constituency, has made his peace with - the Lowthers. lie has asked pardon for all his former opposition and insults. He has craved their "Mercy—they have forgiven him. They have further resolved to make use of him, and bring him in for one of their own pocket counties or boroughs. Probably the good men of Westmorland may be com manded to elect Sir James Graham. Those who have no will of their own must obey their lord's orders. The Borough of Wenlock, we understand, would be sure to return a Liberal were Lord Wenlock, who has considerable influence in the borough, to allow one of his own sons to start for it. The party to which the Noble Lord is attached, and which has done much for him, having made him a Peer, are rather surprised that the Noble Lord does not exert himself more to secure the success of those who have helped him to his honours. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Royal suite, are expected to leave Nuneham, the seat of his Grace the Archbishop of York, between ten and eleven o'clock this morning, on their return to town. LAUNCH OF THE TRAFALGAR.—We have authority to state that from the numerous impositions practised at the launch of the Thunderer cn the 12th of September, 1831, by persons gaining admittance in uniforms though belonging to neither branch of the service, no person whatever can be admitted on the 21st into the main gate of the Dockyard, without a ticket signed by the Captain Superintendent. CAPITAL.—The Standard says " that the giant mo nopoly is the monopoly of the capitalist of all the profit of labour, industry, and enterprise. But one thing is exempt from the grasping monopoly, the profit of the land. Indeed, Standard, we thought Sir James Graham had proved that nine-tenths of the rent of land is mort gaged—got into the clutches of the capitalists. We thought, moreover, that at present the greater portion of the land had been bought over and over again, and that rent and prbfit were all but another name for interest of money vested in the land, We are afraid that our Contempo rary, learned in Hebrew and Greek as he is, has got a great deal to learn of England and English society. Without calling capital a giant monopoly, it is pretty pipit' that its power is so great that it subdues all other property to its use and service. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Colonial HALF-PAST ONE. We have a dead calm in the City to the present hour; but in the funds, commercial affairs, and intelligence, although money continues at an easy rate, there is not the least specula tion undertaken ; consequently we are in a very dull state. The Torie , s and Whigs are chiefly employed in reading Lord John's speech at the London Tavern, and upon which there are various opinions, according to their political principles. Up to the present hour there as not a feature in the British Market worth communicating.

QUARTER TO THREE Mouey is said to be scarce at 5 to 7 per cent., but it is to be hoped the pressure arises from a revival of trade in some par ticular departments, rather than from the wants of elec tioneering .agents. The unfunded debt feels the influence of th.e demand for money more than Consols. The rumour circulated yesterday about the President has no foundation. 'the men picked up off the coast of North Ame rica are proved to have belonged to the William Brown. The influential men in the City are busy with electioneering matters. Lord John Russell's success, alter the result of the glorious meeting yesterday, is considered more certain than ever, notwithstanding the attempts made to cast reflections upon the character and standing of the immense and highly respectable assemblage —one of the most gratifying, indeed, that has been held in the City for a long time, both as respects unanimity and enthusiasm. Consols, Account, 89k. No alteration in the Foreign Funds, and no business whatever doing. MURDER AT WOOLWICH.—INQUEST.—The unfortunate man Grace, shot by 111tGarretty, an account of which appears in another column, died after some hours suffering on the same day. An inquest was held on his body last evening at six o'clock, in the Board-room of the Ordnance Hospital, before Mr. C. J. Carttar, and a Jury of nineteen in habitants of the town. The prisOner, JamesM‘Garretty, was marched from the barracks to the Board-room handcuffed, and guarded by a body of the Royal Artillery. He is a man about forty years of age, with small grey eyes, and a very sullen countenance, and betrayed during the inquest no symptoms of emotion. From evidence before the jury, it appeared from three witnesses that M'Garretty was tipsy at the time, or as he li'mself expressed it, at the time the hand. cuffs were put on him " maddened by liquor." The declara tion of Grace when dying, had been—" That the prisoner asked him to lend him some money, which he refused, because he (the prisoner) was tip-y, after he had urged him several times. The prisoner expressed the utmost repentance, and said he committed the act in a moment of irritation. Several officers and soldiers were examined, who gave the prisoner a general good character for his fifteen years' service. After an investigation i f several hours, a verdict of " Guilty of wilful murder" was returned.

THE CENSUS.—Yesterday the Enumerators in the various districts gave in their returns to the various Re gistrars, by whom they will be forwarded to the Census Com missioner. A part o f th e d uty o f eac h Enumerator was to tabulate and arrange hi s returns, which will render the la bours of the latter comp ara ti ve l y light, and a pretty correct idea : of the extent of th e popu l at i on will be obtained in about a fortnight. CRIMINAL COURT-(T fIIS DAY.) OLD COVIV.P. Isaac Falethorpe was indicted for the manslaughter cf - Watson, a sailor on board the ship St. James, American .packet. ship, on the 2d June last. 31r. Chambers defended the prisoner. Frederick Mayor was master on board the St. James. The prisoner was cook on board the vessel, and the deceased was steward. On the 21 June 1:?st, was on deck, and saw the prisoner and deceased there. They were quarrelling, and they put themselves in a position to fight. The deceased was challenging the prisoner. Witness went up and parted them. Din not see any blow struck by either party. If there had been a blow, must have seen it. James Russell deposed that he was a seaman on board the St. James. Saw the prisoner and the deceased quarrelling on the 2d June. Saw the prisoner strike the steward a blow, but could not say whether it was a severe one, or on what part of the body the blow took effect. ' ' Several witnesses were called, who deposed to having seen the prisoner and deceased quarrelling, but none of them saw any blow struck. One of them deposed that the deceased had received a fracture of the ribs about two months pre vious to the day in question. - Mark Browne Garrett deposed that he was a surgeon, re siding in the New-road. On the :3d of June he was called in to see the deceased. The deceased was of a lull habit of body, and On examinati.m the w itness could not tell whether his ribs had been fractured or not, but the remedies he applied were for a fractur. d rib, and they seemed to relieve the deceased. W;triest a tended him for some dap, when he died. After death the Lodv was opened by the witness. On the left side of the lungs there was a considerable adlie.- sion, add the right side was considerably - congested. One of the lower ribs was fractured. From that exa mination he should say that the cause of death was from inflamation, occasioned by the fractured rib. The fracture seemed to have been a recent fracture. It could not have been so long ago as two mouths. Crisfe' - xam . ned—Found the ribs considerably ossified. The effect of that ossification was to make the ribs more brittle. If the party in such a case sustained a fall, or was put to any sudden exertion, it would be probable that the ribs would snap. Cases were on record of persons whose ribs were in this state who, on suddenly turning round, the ribs have snapped. Part of the lungs were also ossified. Would not take on him• self to say that the fracture he saw might have been caused two months before, but thought it improbable. Mr. CHAMBERS, having addressed the Jury, and the Learned Judge having summed up, the Jury, without any he sitation, returned a seidiet of—Not Guilty. John field, aged 19, was indicted for the wilful murder of Elias Enough tilcn the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. There WILS a second count in the indictment, charging the prisoner with cutting and wounding with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. • The facts of the case have recently been before the public. hc Jury returned a verdict of Guilty on the second count; and the prisoner was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, MAR LBORO UGH-STREET. THIS 1.).AY.) Edward Hall, a young man cf respectable appearance, was placed at the bar, when polica constable No. 66 of the A divi s►on, stated that between five and six o'clock yesterday after noon, while on duty in Hyde l'ark, the pri,oner came up and accosted him, saying that he wished " to give himself up," as he had absconded with 501. belonging to his mistress, and was so unhappy in his, mind that he had resolved to bring himself to justice. Witness, therefore, took him to the station-house. lifr. MALTBY inquired if the prisoner wished to say any thing. The prisoner (who seemed in a very dejected state of mind) said that he persisted in the truth of the statement he had made to the police constable. He had for some years past been in • the employ of a Miss Harriet Hatfield, a maiden lady, residing at Brimhill, near Shiffnal, Staf fordshire, as farming bailiff, and, about six weeks ago, having received on his mistress's account the sum of 601. for corn, he was, in an evil hour, although he had had much larger sums in his possession, tempted to abscond with it, and come up to London, where he had smothered his feelings of self-reproach by plunging into an unceasing round of dissipa tion. lie could, however, no longer endure his sense of guilt, and theref:re gave hi:l:self up to the police constable, or else he fdt quite sure he should have committed suicide. Mr. 111Armly ordered him to be remanded until Saturday next, and in:the interim Miss Hatfield to be apprised of what had transpired. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

Wheat maintained the prices of Monday week, little doing. In Bar ley, Beans, and Oats, no variation from last quotations. The sale of Flour was more slack than last week.

Common Raisins, however, met a fair sale, both for home use and export. THE LATE GLASGOW FORGERIES.— Gavin Scott, the mercantile clerk, who absconded from Glas gow, after committing forgeries to the amount of 8,6001., had been traced to Southampton by Forrester, the Mansion-house officer, and a principal of the house, assisted by Terry, the active Southampton officer. They have ascertained that he left London on Thursday, the 231 ult., by the night mail train, nd slept that night in ' t Southampton. The next day h started to Havra by the Calpe steam-vessel, hav:Nng as. med the name of Douglas. He had with him in gol the whole of the money. He was seen at Havre two days ago, and For. rester and the gentleman from Glasgow startc:d in pur suit by steamer, yesterday, and we have no 'drnbt they will effect his capture.—Hampshire Independent. _ _ NOVEL EXCUSE.—Upon the 'lathes: of the Petty Jurors being called over at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, one individual claimed an exemption from serving on the ground that he was a baker. The Recorder said he was not aware of any Act of Parlia ment under which he could claim the exemption. The applicaut said that bakers were exempt by a Charter of Queen Elizabeth. The Recorder requested him to pro duce the charter, and as he was unable to do so, he was ordered, amid the laughter of the Court, to take his seat in the bar with the rest of the Jury. I NOVEL RECIPE.—It was stated at a late meet ing here that one of our publicans, suffering from excessive drinking, called on the doctor. The doctor ordered him gravely not to drink more than two bottles of gin a day ; that he should put a bean into them every morning, and if he always used the same bottles, would certainly recover when they were full of beans, The publican acted accordingly and was restored.—Strffigh Chronicle. IRISHMEN IN CHINA.—ADMIRAL QUAN.— Another - Irishman,-.-a near relation of Mr. Quan, of Marlborough-green, conchmaker—has fallen under the British fire. BVe regret to see Irishmen in foreign ser vice ; but it will he great consolation to his relations here, that the Chinese Admiral died on the field (q waters ?) of glory, and that his obsequies were saluted by twenty one guns from her Majesty's vessels of war. We should mention that the British interpreters have made a strange mistake in spelling the name Kwan, whereas it should be e.s we have written it, Quan ; but as the Chinese have no letters, but write in a certain phonetic character, we are not so much surprised at the mistake, and particularly as the letters in either combination are omophenous. It is not a little re.narkab'c that Quan has been succeeded by Quin—a blood relation, we understand, of Lord Dun ravan, of Limerick —Dublin Evening Post. GRAND SHINNY MATCH.—We understand that on Friday first the ISth inst., the Members of the Society of True Highlanders are to play a Grand Shinny match at Copenhagen Howe.. As - the 'layers in this interesting- and exciting game will, no doubt, be (tressed in the national con. tunic, the lovers of novelty should attend and the admirers of manly exercise, and well contester) games should avail them selves of this opportunity of witnessing one of the most ancient and characteristic of the gam - es of the sister country. SABBATH TRAVELLIN G O N THE DUNDEE AND ARBROATH RAILWAY.—The General Assembly's deputation, accompanied by deputations from the Glas gow and Edinburgh Railway, Sabbath Sessional Union, from the Scottish Lord's-clav Society, and from Ar broath, waited on the shareholders of the Dundee and Arbroath Railway, at their annual meeting, appointed by statute, which was held at Dundee on WednesdLy, the 2d instant, the objet of the deputations being to re monstrate against travelling on the Sabbath -day. After they had been heard, a vote was taken for the following nsolution, which was carried by a majority of votes : " That the'partners disapprove of the use of railways for any purposes. on the Lord's-day, and agree to memo rialize the Postmaster-G-eneral to relieve them from car rying the Royal mail on that day."—G:asgow Herald. An editor, out west, heads his list of marriages with noose items;" another calls them "feats of the ring." RE RESENT_ .PRESENT ALT/CPT ARYLFBON E. (TillS DAY.) GREAT BALLOT 'MEETING OF THE REFOR)2ERS. A great meeting or the Reformers of the Borough cf Marylebone was held this clay at the Theatre of the Colosseum, Regent's Park, for the purpose of taking a ballot to determine which of the two Liberal Candidates, Sir Charles Napier, or .:Nitr. G. A. Young, should retire from - the approaching contest. The arrangements made by the Joint Committee appOinted to take the ballot, were such as were apparently well calculated to secure a fair estimate of the sense of the electors; but complaints were made this morning that, through some failure of the Post-office arrangements, many Reform electors had not received , their letters or ballot-earls. Before the time appointed for taking the chair upwards of 800 electors were assembled, and the side-boxes of this spacious theatre were filled with elegantly- dressed ladies. The Chair was taken at two o'clock,by Mr. Protheroe, the Member for Halifax, who was greeted with enthusias- tic cheering. The CHAIRMAN said that he would not detain the meeting a moment with any refereoce to himself, further than to thank them for the distinguished honour con ferred on him by electing him to the Chair, and to assure them that he had a perfect sense of the respons,i •bility of the office, and he would discharge the duties with strict impartiality.—(Cheers.) He might now thank them for the assistance which he had received from them in his 'endeavours to obtain the papers of the Vestry Act.—(Cheer:.) Their cond act in electing him to the chair reminded him of the pract ice which prevailed in the small Italian , states, of choosing a podesta, or go vernor from distant provinces, ita. order to secure impartiality in the government: ---(hear.) But the (lectors of Marylebene hed gone to Halifax for their chairman of this day—(Cheers and iseighter)—and he as sured them that they should not be disappointed in their expectations of an impartial p )desta.—(Laughter.) He begged simply to.state that the ; meeting was assem bled to select a proper candidate to start . with Sir Ben jamin Hall. They were to decide which of the two was to be their candidate at the ensuing election. Be fore he sat down he hoped .he might be per mitted to state, as an old Member of Parliament for his years, to compliment them upon their conduct on the present occasion, and to contrast it with that of the elec tors of the suburbs of London, before the passing of the Reform Act. The only electors . at the time residing in the suburbs of London were the outvoters of the differ ent boroughs, who gave their votes fbr the purpose of exciting mere fun and merriment, and who were of opinion that the less the •primaiple the better the pay.— (Cheers.) Their conduct, now they were enfranchised contrasted most favourably with that of the outvoters. They were now to proceed to their choice, and by their conduct that day they were exhibiting to the electors of the kingdom an example of dignity, firmness, and princi ple. They did not wish to put eitieer of their candidates to any useless expense, and they were carrying out their principles without needless display. It was now for them to determine which of the two should be the candi date chosen to fight the Tory candidates, and, as far as his humble efforts went, nothing; should be wanted to carry out the object they had in view. Sir CHARLES NAPIER was - then introduced by the Chairman, and was received with loud cheers. When the cheering had subsided, the Gallant Commodore spoke as follows :—Gentlemen, your Honourable Chair man has so clearly explained to yon the objects of this meeting, that it is quite unnecessary for me to say a word more on the subject ; I shalltherefore proceed at once to explain the reason why I come fisrward as a candidate for the borough of Marylebone, - to ask you for your votes to elect me as your Member in the ensuing Parlia ment.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) I knew full well that Sir Benjamin Hall was your Repre sentative in the Liberal interest. I knew that Mr. Young was a candidate for your suffrages.—(Cheers.) I found that this was the fourth time that Mr. Young had come forward.—(Cries of " No, no, and Yes, yes.") The first time Mr. Young came forward he did not go to the poll, but he published his address. In 1833 Mr. Young went to the poll and polled 378 votes; in 1837 he went to the poll and polled 764 votes. In 1838 Mr. Young supported Colonel Thompson (Cries of " Ali, •all ! " and cheers) and polled 168 votes, and the Tory candidate, as you well know, became your representative.—(Hear.) Now, Gentlemen, it was to avoid this evil that I came forward to offer myself to your notice.—(Cheers.) At the public meetings I attended every effort was made on the other side to confound and confuse them ; but I believe there was no gentleman present who will not admit that I carried very large majorities throughout all these public meetings.—(Cheers, and cries of "Yes'," " No.") These meeting.; were very numerously attended, and in some cases there were 400 or 500 electors who could not obtain admittance. These are the rea sons why I come forward to ask your suffrages, and I am now here because I have declared, that if I thought Mr. Young had the smallest hope or chance of being returned I should instantly retire.— (Cries of hear, hear, and " very honourable.") Gen tlemen, a few days afterwards I received a letter from Mr. Young, proposing a public meeting., at the same time admitting that it was impossible to exclude non-electors. I thought it of so much importance that I laid the letter before my Committee. They proposed what would have saved a great deal of - expense and trouble had it been adopted. They proposed that Mr. Young should choose one elector, and myself an other, to go round the several districts, and take the sense of the voters.—(Hear.) That was not acceded to, and the measure which has now brought you together was agreed upon. Gentlemen, all I ask is to be allowed to state plainly what my opinions are ; and I do trust and hope that my opponents will not pervert those opi nions, or put words into my mouth which I never used.—(Loud cheers.) They will scarce be able to do that, because if a man speaks the truth he is sure to be right, and if he tells falsehoods he must have a good memory to be able to en surer them. I. have accused of being favourable to the Poor-laws, but at the first meeting I attended I dis tinctly stated that I had been two years absent from England, and did .-not know how the Poor-laws worked, but that I would tell them how it had worked in the district in which I was a guar dian.—(Cheere.)_ We insisted on the old and infirm poor being relieved out of doors in their own houses— (Loud cheers)—and that those who were compelled to take refuge in the workhouses, should be treated kindly, and in the same manner as they treated the inmates of Chelsea and Greenwich Hospitals. I have attended numbers of meetings where I have fre quently expressed my opinion of the operation of thePoor law, and yet am again called on to express those opinions. Gentlemen, there is another question asked Of me, one which, as a naval-military man, I feel called upon more immediately to answer—the aboli tion of corporal punishment. That question de pends not upon the admiral, the . captain, or the officer to effect its abolition, but more properly upon the Government to give better pay, and thuS gain a higher class of men to serve in our army and navy. Now, Gentlemen, I might have gained a few stray votes if, like my opponent, I pledged.myself to vote for the abolition of corporal punishment ; but, Gentlemen, he who oars this pledge has never seen 400 or 500 men of various degrees of character in the operations of war fare—in the storm of the battle, when the worthless will skulk below—or perhaps he would be more chary in the • assertion that corporal punishment can be dispensed with ; but, - Sir, all other men would be most anxious for its abolition, if it was consistent • with the effici( ncy of the Army and Navy.— (Loud cheers.) Bit I will never run the risk, when France and Russ'a have large fleets assembled, for the sake of a few sta ay votes to endanger' the safety of the bulwarks of tl is c mntry. I have also . stated that I am an r dvocate for the vote:, by ballot, and with real ect to the assertion, thatr said I thought the extension of the suffrage would rather be an evil than °there ise, I must calf attention to the fact, that in the borough — of Marylebone we we have no less than 32,000 10/. householoers, and yet from the non-payment of' poor -rates, intimidation, and various other causes, the actual number who voted was comparatively e trifling, and would be so until protected by the Ballot.—(Hear, hear.) There has been another charge brought against me ; that I at presentaliold a commission in he Majesty's navy, and am, therefore, unfitted to represent this borough in Parliament. Gentlemen, I think it would be rather a severe conclusion to form, that because of being a naval cfficer, I was only fit, as Mr. Young has expressed himself, to look after the guns and aaile of a man-of-war. I have been forty years in the service of my country, and, therefore, I think I may lay claim to some distinction.—(Loud cheers.) It is well known that but for the officers of the navy, and its discipline, you would have Lean at war with France at the present moment, and therefore it Pi t aot too much for an officer of the navy to claim your suffrage;.--(Cheers.) It has been confi dently-stated in the borough that I still held my command in the Mediterranean. To this I answer, that on the 31st of March I was ordered to st:ike my pennant, and am now as independent as any one of you. Again, it is said that I am seeking after command ; this again is false. But I do say, that if called upon to. serve my country, I would at once seek the breach, and resign my . seat in the House.—(Hear, and cheers.) There is another topic to which I would wish to address myself, and that is, the impressment of men to serve in the navy —a prac tice disgraceful to an enlightened nation like England. Many applications have I made, for the last thirty years, to Members in the House to wipe away the plague spot of the English statute-book, but in vain. On the subject of the rate-paying clauses of the Reiman Bill, I have always declared my aversion to them.— (Cheers.) They are unjust and unnecessary clogs upon the franchise.—(Cheers.) If it be right to punish a man for not paying his taxes, some other mode should be found without depriving him of his suffrage.—(Cheers and great applause.) I was yesterday at the g,Te it meeting held in the city of London by the friends °Mord J.Russell ; and I never saw a more respectable weang in my life.— (Cheers.) Lord John Russell thoroughiy . and clearly ex plained to the electors the reasons which led to the deter mination to dissolve Parliament. The necessLies which had arisen, for an increase of the navy had caused expenses to which the revenue was inadequate, ancl Government thought •it better, instead of haying on new taxes, to reduce the duties on cor n, ✓ timber, and sugar.— (Cheers.) Lord John Russell (deo declared that the Corn-laws imposed a tax upon the people equal to the whole . revenue of the country —(Hear)—a tax which benefited only the landlords, and was paid by the poor instead of .the rich. - With respect to the 'present contest here, ~I assure you that nobody EVENING EDITION•• be divided, and if the division of this dey sh" -- " could regret more than I do ,that Cie 13:irk:ugh sls: . best • against I shall retire, and do 1 11 .3' with - Sir be ,.11 j to promote the return of Mr. Young.
