THE RAILWAY SUN IS AT LENGTH COMPLETED, AND WILL SHORTLY BE HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW /doming 17 minutes after G. I Evening 42 minutes after 6 very seldom be found adapted to fill the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, seeing that he must be a Protestant, and tolerably free from local par tisanship, we are ashamed of our Irish brethren. They have, on this occasion, totally forgotten the general principle of an equality between all the countries, and cannot possibly do themselves a greater injury than to confine all Irish patron age to Irishmen, and thereby exclude them selves from holding office in England. It is for their advantage that there should be an equal distribution of offices and places, without distinc- ion of nation or sect ; for that principle we con- tend, and that principle the Liberal journals of Ireland violate in their hostile remarks on the appointment of Baron CAMPBELL. We make these observations wholly irrespec tive of the cause of the vacancy. The Irish papers and the Tory journals call the vacancy and the appointment a job, but we have heard rumours of the retirement of Lord PLUNKETT for many months, and even for some years; and only those can now call his retirement a job, who believe the Whigs are about to retire from office. That is not the belief of the Whigs, and they make the appointment in the confident hope of holding office for a considerable time. Lord PLUNKETT has long been solicited to retire, because his growing infirmities render him in capable of fulfilling the duties of his office. He said himself, slow as he must be to believe that he is growing old, "the regret I feel is much alleviated by the consciousness that the period of life at which I have arrived must have induced me at no distant time, independently of the events which have lately happened, to retire from the discharge of my duties." His retire ment, then, is a matter of necessity, and it is only called a job because it is supposed that the Whigs make it, believing they must speedily re tire themselves. Some of Lord PLUNK ETT'S observations, we must add, appear to us to be uncalled for. What business bad he to cast a slur on himself for yielding to improper solicitations, and on others for making them ? His gratitude is strangely shown in the following passage, in which he countenances some scandalous insinua tions against his benefactor : With regard to the particular circumstances which have occasioned my retirement, I wish to say a few words. I think it a duty which I owe to myself, and to the members of the bar, to state, that for my retirement on this occasion I am not in the slightest degree answer able. I have neither directly nor indirectly sanctioned it ; and in giving my assent to the proposal which was made to me of retiring, I was governed solely by its having been requested of me as a personal favour to do so by a person to whom I owe such deep obligations, that an irresistible sense of gratitude made it impossible for me to do anything but what I have done. The language of Lord PLUNKETT inclines us to agree with the following remarks of the Dublin Pilot : -- - We do not concur in the sympathy some felt, and many feigned, for Lord Plunkett, or with the motives ascribed to that person for resenting his ejectment from the Chancellorship, nor in that wonderful array of vir tues and qualifications ascribed to him by the Post and other papers, or that perfectibity of public life with which he became all at once invested. We same in the man, on this occasion, the same greedy gripe-all he had been on_almost every other—we saw in the mode of his disseminating the story, treachery to his party and its principles, which he evidently sought to da mage, because he could not continue to control. We entered cordially into the general feeling of the grossness of the job, the unhappy juncture it was done in, and in its dispiriting effects, and we felt the national wound and insult also, not the less because it was such as we have been accus tomed to experience and resent from England ; yet to Lord Plunkett himself we gave none of our sympathy —to his conduct in the case none of our approbation— to his professed motives none of our belief ! His retainers, Whig and Tory, were very busy in circulating that Lord Plunkett chiefly felt, in the in stance, the insult to his country—that of placing an English Chancellor over us ! We feel, because we al ways felt, such insults. But when did Lord Plunkett ever evince this laudable indignation before ?—We do not credit him now. His life forbids it. He never did remon strate in private ; we judged he did not at once, we now know it. The resentment of Lord Plunkett had not one ingre dient of nationality, but every ingredient of selfish greedi ness. When taking leave to-lay, to be sure, of the bar —in public, when it would produce its resentful effects against his benefactors, he talked plausibly, as he is capable of doing, about the insult to the Irish bar. But we never heard of such indignation before, although England has been constantly treating us similarly. With his ejection from office, and all its patronage and influence—" no more pickings for the Hannibals " this was the predominant thought—it was this which caused him reluctantly to leave office, giving a last kick at the Government from which he received it, and from which, if we are rightly informed, his obstinate resist ance to the purification of the Irish Magistracy caused the necessity long felt of removing him. Lord PLUNKETT has cast a blight on the la bours of a long and useful life by the manner in which he has drawn them to a close. We must reverse the often-quoted sentence, and say of his public life, that " nothing in it so ill became him as the leaving of it." He has clung to office till his faculties have left him ; and, in resigning it, he ap pears to have forgotten discretion, and sacrificed his honour. The Times yesterday blundered in a paren thesis on a very sensible remark. It said " full employment and cheap bread (benefits which no Legislative measures can ever secure to the people)." That is very true, and proceeding on that principle the disciples of free trade demand the abolition of measures intended, as it is said, "to secure cheap food and full employment to the people." The bread tax is expressly main tained because it gives full employment to the agricultural labourers, and because in the long run it secures the people cheap bread. The Times avers, and so do we, that no measures can effect that, and therefore we demand the repeal of the starvation laws, while our Con tempory, with marvellous inconsistency, mocks at those who act in accordance with his principle. The great distinction between free traders and traders in fetters, is that the former believe in, and act on, the axiom we have quoted from the Times; the latter do not believe in it, and act in opposition to it. They pretend that legislative measures can accomplish all things, and they make laws to regulate and re strain trade, because, as they say, their laws will provide cheap food and full employment for the people. Those who demand the abolition of the Corn-laws expect, or at least hope, that cheap food and full employment will be the conse quence of getting rid of the legislative measures which have been enacted to effect what the Times says is an impossibility. The free traders demand the abolition of legislative measures, not to replace one bad measure by another. Our Contemporary has heretofore smitten the land- Aods and their absurd schemes very hard, and is plain, from the sentence we have quoted, iat he cannot get out of his old habits, We have before us a copy of the Imperial Fir , man, despatched by the Porte to MEHEMET ALI at Alexandria by the Russian steamer Silatsch, on the Ist inst. This firman embodies the ultimatum of the SULTAN, whose 'concessions to the VICEROY are greater than those indicated in the collective note of the Four Powers recom mending a modification of the former firman. It was accompanied by a separate Imperial rescript, fixing the amount of tribute, which we have not received, but which tribute is stated in letters from Constantinople of the 2d instant, to amount to 80,000 purses, or about 365,000/. British currency. The succession is confined to the descendants of the VICEROY in the male line, and that line be coming extinct, the male children of the female branches of MEIIE?IET'S family are to have no claim to the Government of Egypt, which the Porte is then to dispose of at its pleasure. In the East, where the extinction of the male branches of a family is rendered almost impos sible by polygamy, this limitation of the succes sion is by no means so important as it would be in the West. It, moreover, tends to check a disposition to intrigue for the supreme power on the part of the collateral branches of the governing family. The equalization of the in trinsic and extrinsic value of the coin of Turkey and Egypt is an excellent mea sure, and will greatly facilitate the pro gress of commercial improvement. The tone of the firman is exceedingly mild and conciliatory, but there is one clause in it which appears to us surrounded with peculiar difficulty. The Porte says that on the failure of any of the conditions which it imposes upon ft *Oa ' „T M 0 S , ! W..." 1513 • ,11 PUBLISHED the , TO CORRESPONDENTS. • Wet ' n es "W.

The proclamation, dissolving the old, and sum moning a new Parliament, to meet on Thursday, August 19th, was published, yesterday, in a sup plement to the Gazette. The people are now unrepresented, the monopolist Parliament is justly and properly extinguished, and the cha racter of the next assembly will depend on the electors. If they be wise, virtuous, and intelli gent, so will be the next House of Commons; but if they be ignorant, venal, and foolish, the new Parliament will resemble the old one, and mono poly will be continued in spite of her MAJESTY. What will be the results of the appeal no man can tell. From the immense numbers of placards, speeches, and addresses, which reach us, it is plain that :agitation is rife in the land. The soul of the nation is kindled, enthusiasm has succeeded apathy, the high and steady re solve has taken the place of indifference, and will set at naught, we believe, calculations of utin e politicians. As her MAJESTY has declared in favour of die system which proposes to relieve the people by enlarging trade and diminishing monopolies, which it i 3 thought cannot be immediately abo lished, what will the clergy do in the great struggle ? Will they range themselves against the throne, and against justice ? Will they use their in fluence to force another Ministry on the QUEEN, and maintain the law which at once plunders and starves the people Will the so-called ministers of righteousness, who depend alike on the throne and on the multitude, war on the side of iniquity and the aristocracy, against the QUEEN and the people ? Let the clergy be closely watched, and let the people forsake the ministry of every priest who demonstrates that he is the servant of Moloch, by exerting himself to uphold the ini quitous starvation laws. Let the priesthood, too, be warned in time. The people are in too serious a temper to be trifled with, and if the priesthood use their power to oppose the QUEEN and maintain the starvation laws, they will forfeit the respect of the people, their churches will be, as they ought to be, deserted, and they will speedily expire from withering contempt. Poverty, misery, and dearth men may submit to, but they will not, even at the bidding a the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY, do violence to their own nature, and worship the demon of destruction. We see by a whole series of returns made under the late census from the neighbourhood of Manchester, that the increase of population has there received a serious check. The increase per cent., for example, was in the decennial periods ending 1831. 1841. In Cheetham Crumpsall Levenhulme Oldham Township 5O Out Township Chapelry of Oldham 32 Heaton Norris In most of these places there are many empty houses, and there is no doubt that the check had taken place during the last two or three years. A glance at the table will satisfy every man of the cause of the misery now felt in the manufacturing, districts. The want of food, which the law withholds from the people, is starving them out of existence. Will the elec tors vote for the continuance of such an abomi nable and devilish law? Will they bring on the land, by upholding such wickedness, the sure curse of the Ruler of the World ? By the Emancipation Act of 1829, Roman Catholics are unjustly excluded from the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Of course, therefore, that office, under the law, must be filled by a Protestant. At present the bulk of the Protestants of Ireland are Tories, leagued with PEEL, friendly to the Orangemen, and op posed to the Catholics. Had the Ministers ap pointed one of them to be Lord Chancellor — Mr. Sergeant BL ACKBURNE is mentioned by a Liberal paper—they would have placed in the highest judicial office in Ireland a determined enemy of the Catholic population, by whom they are supported, and most likely a bitter foe to Mr. O'CONNELL, who is one of the best friends of the Ministers and of the Liberal cause. For not having thus insulted and outraged Mr. O'CoN NELL and the Catholic Irish, the Ministers are unsparingly abused even by the Liberal and O'CONNELL papers of Dublin. Independently of the fact that the Chancel, lor, if taken from the Irish bar, must have been some enemy of the Liberal cause, and of the Irish Catholics, party spirit runs so high in Ireland that most of the eminent members of the Irish bar are obnoxious to charges of party spirit, and were they placed on the woolsack would be liable to bring discredit on the administration of justice. Let the reader remember the impu tations which have been thrown on Chief Jus tice O'DoHERTY and Mr. Baron RICHARDS. By the appointment of an eminent English barris ter, which has generally been the practice—as the cases of Lord MANNERS, Sir A. HART, and Sir E. SUGDEN, in our own time prove, Lord PLUNKETT being the exception—the Government has taken a proper security for the due, impar tial, unsuspected administration of justice., A more eminent lawyer, well acquainted as a Lord Chancellor ought to be with both common law and equity, than Baron CAMPBELL does not ex ist. If a vacancy occurred spontaneously in the Chancellorship of Ireland a more suitable selec tion could not be made ; yet for making this ap pointment the Ministers are fbully and unjustly censured by the Liberal Irish press. It is a great object with all good men who wish to see all parts of the empire united in brotherly love, to wipe out as fast as possible the National distinctions of Irish, and English, and Scotch. Hence it has been proposed to call Ireland, West Britain. Hence Lord LYNDHURST has been re probated, with just severity, for using language tending to keep alive and exasperate these distinc tions. Hence the Liberal Press in England, and in Ireland, have justly condemned the inflamma tory remarks of the Tory journals, against Irish Catholic gentlemen being appointed to situa tions connected with the Government, or about the Court. But now the Liberal journals of Ire land, and the whole Irish bar, tingetting these principles the instant self-love and self-interest are wounded, labour to revive and strengthen those national feelings, because a gentleman who was not born in Ireland, has been made Lord Chan cellor of Ireland. " Let a Tory," says the Dub lin Pilot, " be appointed; l e t it be BLACKBU RNE, but, at least, let it be an Irishman." Such remarks, from those who justly demand equality of treatment, are puerile, not to say ab surd. We know of one Master of Chancery who is an Irishman, Mr. LYNCH ; there may be others ; but we have no recollection that the London press and the London bar resisted his appointment, or found fault with it, because he was born across the Irish Channel. It would have been excessively illiberal and unjust if they had. If an Irishman were made Lord Chan cellor of England, the bar and the press would not find fault with the place of his birth. On the excellent principle of amalgamating all the people, and sinking the distinctions of Irish, Scotch, and English, the appointment ought never to have been questioned. The censures heaped on the Ministers because Baron CAMP-• BELL was born in Scotland, are consequently only a disgrace to those .who make them. We expect them in the Dublin Evening Mail and the London Standard, but in Liberal journals they are completely out of place. In truth, after tracing the leading causes, as we have just done, why an Irish barrister can THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1841: the VICEROY, the whole agreement is at an end, and th c 4,N may that moment remove him from Now who is to decide whether :lIEHEMET ALI has, or has not, violated any condition of the Firman? Is a hostile Vizier at the Divan, who hopes to be his suc cessor, to determine that MEHEMET Au has conferred a rank upon an Egyptian above that of a Colonel, and has therefore forfeited his Pachalic ? Should . the coin now current in Egypt be found in circulation in some remote district five years hence, is it on such a pre text that an ambitious favourite at Con stantinople is to be permitted to advance a charge of treason against the VICEROY ? We admit the difficulty of framing such an instru ment in such a form as to present no difficulty ; but as it is notorious that the VICEROY has yielded rather to the Four Powers than to the SULTAN, we suppose we may make our minds easy, by taking it for granted that they, and they only, arc to adjudicate upon the question of the loyalty or disloyalty of the VICEROY. As the Imperial finnan cannot fail to excite a lively interest among all who are anxious to learn the result of the Treaty of July, we have great plea sure in submitting it to our readers : " OFFICIAL COPY OF THE FIRMAN SENT BY PACIIA,TIIESL B O L N I MIE, OHE 1 R s T T E R T N ( E l 11118E4H1. EMET ALI " Your recent act of submission, the assurances of fide lity and devotedness you have given, and the upright and sincere intentions which you have manifested, as well to wards me as towards my Government, have reached my sovereign knowledge, and been a source of gratification to me. In consequence thereof, and of the zeal and ability which characterise you, as also of the know ledge and experience you have acquired of the affairs of Egypt, during the long period you have governed it, I have full reasons to believe that you are in every respect worthy of the favour and confidence I accord you. As I doubt not you will fully appreciate my benevolence, and with gratitude so act as to trans mit these laudable qualities to descendants, I hereby grant you the Government of Egypt, within its ancient limits, as traced on the map now sent you by my Grand Vizier, and duly sealed, together with the further hereditary privileges, on the following condi tions :—Whenever the post becomes vacant, the Go vernment of Egypt shall pass from eldest son to eldest son in the direct male line of your sons and descendants. With respect to their nomination, it shall always emanate from the Sublime Porte. If at any period it should hap pen that the male line become extinct, my Government must necessarily appoint another individual to the Go vernment. In such case the male children of the daughters of the Government of Egypt will have no right or legal claim to the succession. Notwithstanding that the Pachas of Egypt enjoyed the hereditary privi lege of Government, they are, as regards rank and pre cedence, to be considered on the same footing as other Viziers, and will be treated as such by the Sublime Porte, from which they will receive the same titles as are given to any other governor of a province. " The system (which is based on the second law) of security of persons and property, of protection of indi vidual honour and character, principles consecrated by the reformed institutions (Tanzimati Khayriye) of my ha tti-scheriff promulgated at Gulkhane ; as further all the treaties existing and which may be entered into be tween the Sublime Porte and friendly Powers, shall in every respect receive their execution in the province of Egypt also ; and all the regulations made and to be made by the Sublime Porte, shall equally be put in practice in Egypt, with such allowances as may be required by local circumstances, justice, and equity. " All taxes and revenues levied in Egypt shall be raised in my Imperial naine As, however, the Egyptians also are subjects of the Sublime Porte, in order to pro tect them from further vexation, the tithes, duties, and other taxes to be raised, shall be levied according to the equitable system pursued by my Government. ,And as soon as the term of payment arrives, care shall be taken that the proportion of the taxes, customs, tithes, with other receipts and revenues of the province of Egypt, whose amount is inserted in a special firman on the sub ject, shall be duly forthcoming. " It being customary to send annually from Egypt grain and pulse to the two, holy cities (Mecca and Me dina), the same quantity of these, as well as of other articles which has been hitherto sent to those cities, shall be continued to be sent them respectively. "My Government having resolved to ameliorate its specie currency, which is the soul of social transactions, and also to do it in such a way that henceforward there shall be an invariable standard as well in respect to the alloy as to the nominal value of each coin, I hereby per mit money to be struck in Egypt, but the gold and silver moneys you are allowed to coin shall bear my inscrip tion, and shall moreover be in every respect similar in denomination, form, and value to the pieces coined in the imperial Mint at Constantinople. "As in the time of peace 18,000 men will be quite sufficient for the local administration of the province of Egypt, that number sitll on no account be exceeded. But the military and naval forces of Egypt being essen tially for the service of the Sublime Porte, the number may in times of war be augmented to the extent which may be judged proper by: my Government. " According to a rule in force soldiers enrolled in other parts of my empire serve during five years, at the expi ration of which they are replaced by fresh levies. Such being the case it would be necessary that the same rule intact should be adopted in Egypt ; but with respect to the duration of service the habits of the inhabitants of Egypt will be consulted, perfect equity being in every respect observed in their favour. Four hundred Egyp tian troops are to be annually sent to Constantinople. There shall be no difference between the decorations and the colours (flags) of the troops and those of the other troops of my Government. T he officers of the Egyptian na v y also shall use the sam e de corations of rank, and the sh i p s th e same colours as those of the imperial navy. employed in Egyp t " The Pacha of Egypt may appoint his military and naval officers up to the rank of colonel, but with respect to the nomination of officers of a higher rank—viz., mir livas (generals of brigade), and feriks (Lieutenant -Ge nerals), it is absolutely necessary that you should de mand my permission and take my orders on that head. " The Pachas of Egypt shall not hereafter build any ships of war without having first asked permission of the Sublime Porte, and obtained from it a clear and positive authority to that effect. " As every one of the preceding conditions is closely attached to the hereditary privilege—should but one of them at any time not be executed, the hereditary privi lege shall that instant be abrogated and cease to exist. " Such being my sovereign pleasure on all the points alluded to, and as you as well as your sons and descen dants will not fail to recognise the distinguished favour conferred upon you, you will exert yourselves to execute scrupulously the stipulations herein fixed, you will avoid carefully everything like opposition, and be equally assi duous to ensure the welfare and tranquillity of the inha bitants of Egypt--shielding them from all injustice and vexations, and will also report and apply for instructions on all matters of importance concerning that country. It is with this view that the present Imperial firman— headed by my Royal autograph, has been transcribed and sent. -- a , The Paris Journals of Tuesday have been received, with an extraordinary Express from that capital, bring ing news of yesterday's date. The Commerce announces that France and Austria has just concluded a conven tion, by which the ships of the two nations, forced by stress or weather to take shelter in each other's ports, are to be exempted from all harbour dues. From ex tracts which we have given from the French papers, in another column, it appears that France is resolved to make the various outbreaks in the Turkish provinces subservient to the recovery of her influence in the East. In Syria her emissaries have been actively at work since the expulsion of the Egyptian troops from that province, and it is notorious at Athens that the French Minister gives every encouragement to the KING to countenance the revolt of the Candiotes. On the other hand, Rus sian agents are scouring the provinces of Bulgaria, Ser via, Wallachia, Moldavia, and Anatolia, inciting the Greeks to implore the protection of the Imperial Head of their Church, the Czar' NICHOLAS. On all sides TUrkey is beset with dangers more serious than ever before me naced the continuance of her sway over any part of Europe. The follonlng is the news from Paris, brought by Extraordinary Express : It would appear that M. Lefebvre de Bacourt, the Chew d'Affaires of France at Buenos Ayres, has written to the Minis try to demand his immediate recal, new difficulties having arisen in La Plata, which could only be settled by an appeal to arms. An earthquake took place at St. Pierre, iu Martinique, at half-past six o'clock on the 9th ult. The Duke de Nemours returned to Paris from Aft ica on Monday evening. The Moniteur promulgates the law authorising the esta , bilshment of a new line of steam packets in the Mediterranean. The Courrier de Bordeaux publishes the speech delivered , by Espartero when elected Regent of Snain, which is nearly word for word with that pronounced by Napoleon, in presence of the Senate, after his a nointment es Co mut for life. The intelligence from luadrid of the 16th is unimportant. The Augsburg Gazette of the 20th states, under date Con stantinople the 2d, that the Paellas of Bagdad, Bosnia, and others, had revolted, and intended to declare themselves inde nendent of the Central Government. It was said that the s?acha of Bagdad, not havirg having succeeded in his under trlcing, had sought refuge inrin Pers ce ia. Accordi would not leave ng to accounts irom Vienna, ok the 15tn P , Metternich that capital before the 15th July. The Servian Government had addressed to the neighbour ing powers an expose of the cruelties lately perpetrated by the ArnautF in Bulgaria. Some of the Christians had returned to t'leir homes, whilst others were determined to vat on the Ser vian territory, the arrival of the Turkish Commissioner, coub Pacha. It was stated on the Paris Bourse that M. Humann, the Minister of Finance, would not require a loan of snore than 2:'5,000,00: , 1. (9,0C:0 01 .) The Chamber of Peers approved on Wednesday of the treaty of commerce lately concluded between France and Holland. The following extracts from Galignani of Tuesday, and the other French papers of that date include all that is of any interest in these Journals : FRENCH DIPLOMACY. —The Constitutionnel observes : " The following eleven Ambassadors are at present in Paris, posts, or have finclly M. Bres ie Turin omVienna ; , ; M. de Bus ogs o n uni t e eß a de y r e tlhi o ne f m a ; b :t s —h e n eA c Al e i from their Marquis h . d e e i r Aulaire,Daim respective aftr Bus sieres, Dresden ; M. de Varennes, Lisbon; M. de St. Priest, Copenhagen : M. de Fontena y , Stutt g ardt ; M . d ' E y ra g ues, Carlsruhe ; M. de Serey , Is p ahan ; M. de Bois-l e - C omte, the Hague; and M. de la Rochefoucault, Darmstadt . The Em bassies to London, Vi e nna, Berlin, awl Madrid, are vacant, and Messrs. de Barante, de Pontois, de Bacourt, and de Tallenay, are shortly expected in Faris. Is it not fair to suppose that I‘l. Guizet has resolved to carry on diplomacy without diplo matists ? ANOTHER ROYAL MA It ILIA GE. —Paris, it is hinted in high quarters, is soon again to become the scene of festivity, in consequence of the marriage of a member of the Royal Family. The exalted personage alluded to is not the Prince de Join ville, with a Princess of Holland, but the Princess Clementine with the brother of Prince Albert, Consort of the Queen of England. The King and Queen of the Belgians are to grace the nuptials with their presence. Their Majesties are expected in Paris in about a month hence, and preparations are already commenced for their reception at the Tuileries. FEMALE HEROISM. --During afire which entirely destroyed a boarding-school for yuung ladies at Montpellier, in the night of the 14th instant, Mlle. de Roquefeuille, one of the teachers, not more than 22 years of age, displayed the followin: instaree of intrepid humanity. Soon after the first alarm she, with great presence of mind, madeher escape with two of the younger children in her arms. Her next care was to muster all the pupils and call over the names to ascertain that none were left behind. All answered but one, a little girl seven years old. Convinced that she was still in the burning building, Mlle. de Roquefeuille resolved to save her or perish. Obtaining a flan • beau, she entered the house and reached an outer chrrnitory : here the smoke was so dense that her light was extinguished by it. Nevertheless, and although the floor had been caught by the flames, she made her way to an inner room, where she found the object of her anxiety still fast asleep and unharmed. Catching up the child, she happily made her way back into the open air unscorched, fully rewarded in her own heart, and therefore happy, although she had lust in the fire every particle of property she possessed. FRENCH CONSCRIPTS.—The contingent of conscripts for the class of 1840, being 80,000 in number, have been divided as follows among the different branches of the public force : Infantry, 50,451 ; foot chasseurs, 3,224; military workmen, 300 ; hospital corps, 300 ; cavalry. 8,535 ; artillery, 10,250 ; engineers, 545: train, 670; marine infantry, 2,500; ditto artillery, 1,225 ; sailors, 2,000. THE BASQUES.—" The Government," according to the Temps, " has ascertained that rumours which have been cir culated as to projects of a new insurrection in the Basque Pro vinces, ar.i not without foundation. The French officers of the Customs have detected and seized arms, ammunition, and accoutrements, endeavoured to be conveyed over the frontier by agents for Don Carlos. On the 7th instant, General Aroyo and a Colonel were arrested by the gendarmes in a village where they had endeavoured to conceal themselves in disguise." THE Doc DAYS.—The Temps states that for two months past the police have sent out carts about Paris, with persons charged to take up every dog without a muzzle, even although at the door of its owner. When taken, says the Temps, the dog is put into a sack, with a mechanism by which he is strangled in less than half a minute. FRENCH CONVICTS.—Two bands of military convicts, con demned to a term of imprisonment with the boulet, escaped in the night of February sth from the hulks at Belle Isle, and committed robberies and other depredations in the neighbour ing villages. Being recaptured, they were brought to trial on the 14th inst., before a Court-martial at Rennes. Six of them were condemned to death, and the rest sentenced to have their boulets doubled for the rest of their periods of imprisonment. RADICAL DINNER.—" Yesterday," says the National, " There was to have been a Reform dinner at a restaurateur's, near the Barriere du Maine, but the police did not allow of it. A formal prohibition was brought by the Commissary of Police of Mont-Rouge, and there was a detachment of horse and foot Municipal Guards to enforce it. The intended guests retired." _ _ _ Accounts from Vourla, in the Smyrna Journal, represent the neighbourhood of that place to have been lately infested by a band of brigands, some of whom, in the night of the 9th ult., made an attack on the house of the Aga of Kouvendi, on the sea-shore, and having forced their way in, murdered the Aga, his wife, and child, wounded two other persons of the family, plundered the house of every valuable, and effected their escape. None of the malefactors had been discovered. " The Turkish Government," says the Commerce, " has lately issued two ordonnances, one for regulating the dress of the male Turks, and the other recommending modesty to be observed by the females, and enjoining them, when out of doors, not to have the slightest communication with the Men. Tight pantaloons, and other similar fashions, imported from Europe, are prohibited for the men." We learn from Munich, that, on the 7th inst., two sons of a citizen of that town took their departnre on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, clothed in the proper costume, and bearing the cross. They were accompanied beyond the gates by a large concourse of people, cheering them with loud expressions of good wishes. The Duke Maximilian of Bavaria has caused to be made, for the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, a magnificent altar, which will he shortly Fent off. A repre sentation of the Agony in the Garden, painted by Kranz berger, one of the best pupils of Cornelius, is to be placed over it. T he frame is ornamented with portraits of the Duke and Duchess and their son. . ✓ The Journal du Havre mentions the discovery near Okaroa, in New Zealand, of a dangerous rock, lying in the usual course of ships sailing for the whale fishery, and not marked on any chart. It lies 54 miles W.N.W., hN. from the Esperance Rock of Admiral Dumont d'Urville. It is not wider than a vessel, and is about four feet under water. Having been dis covered by the Havre whaler, the name of that ship has been • given to it. BOURSE-PARIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 22. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pric.

VICE CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) BANNATTNE V. LEADER. The Vicz-CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this ease, which was argued before the Court sometime age. The Bill was filed by the plaintiffs against Mr. Leader, the Member for Westminster, and other persons, for the purpose of having the declaration of the Court that they were entitled to a moiety of the linen business carried on in Scotland by Mr. Maberley and the defendants, and which was assigned over to the defendants by Mr. Alaberley. The ground on which the Bill prayed the interference of the Court was, that Mr. Maberley executed the assignment in contemplation of bankruptcy. His Honour was clearly of opinion that the execution did not take place under any such circumstances, and ordered the Bill to be dis missed with costs. ELECTION OF SHERIFFS. (TIIIS DAY.) A Common Hall was held this day for the election of She riffs for London, and other City officers. Shortly after one o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by Aldermen Wood (who was loudly cheered), Lainson, and Gibbs, opened the hall. The COMMON SERGEANT then came forward and said the hall was called so that the citizens of London should exercise a right, the most ancient and important of any they poqessed. It was one they had enjoyed since the Conquest, and held in fee since the time of Henry the First. So important did their ancestors think the privilege, that they never permitted the election to go on in the presencc of their King, the Lord Mayor. When he had retired, it would be his duty to read the names of those gentlemen who stood on the list for the va rious offices. _ _ . The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then retired, and the pre sent Sheriffs presided. The COMMON SERGEANT read over the lists of those in no mination for the office of Sheriffs. The Common Sergeant said the Sheriffs were of opinion that the election had fallen upon !Mr. Alderman Magnay and Alexander Rogers. Esq. The other candidate was Mr. Alderman Hooper, but he de clined the honour for the present year, as it was inconvenient for two Aldermen to serve at the same time. Sir James Shaw was then re-elected as Chamberlain amidst applause. The other officers were then re-elected. The Lord Mayor having returned, the COMMON-SERGEANT reported that the elections had been confirmed. Mr. Deputy STEVENS appeared on the part of Mr. Rogers, to return thanks, and declare hit acceptance of the office. He was much gratified at the result of the election, because he knew Mr. Rogers to be a highly respectable and honourable man, and one who would perform his duty in such a manner as would command their thank.; at the end of the year. The Hall was then dissolved. MARYLEBONE ELECTION.—We have receiveL a letter from Mr. Portwine, who is secretary to one of the dis trict Committees in the interest of Hall and Napier, in which he states that he is prepared to make an affidavit that Mr. Cab bell made use of the expressions attributed to him by Mr. Cross, and contradicted by Mr. Chambers, the Chairman. It is certainly singular, if such improper expressions were used, that they should have escaped his attention. Will Mr. Cab bell come forward at a public meeting and deny them ? SPAIN.—MADRID BOURSE, JUNE 15.--The transactions in the Five per Cents., 29 in number, amounted to 18,200,000 reals, and were done at 26 1-16 to, cash, and at 261 to iat 60 days. The titles of the converted touforeign debt sold for 20 for cash, and 20i at 60 days ; the eoens be capitalised at 22 21-32 at 60 days, and the debt bearing no interest for 7 7-32 at 60 days. SECONDARY'S OFFICE.—We re j oice in having it in our power to announce that Mr. Carew O'Dwyer, Filacer to the Court of Exchequer, has been appointed to the Sevon dary's-offico in that Court, vacant by the death of the late Mr. Carthrew. The appointment was offered to Mr. Fitzsimon, but that gentleman, in the handsomest manner, waived his pre tensions in favour of Mr. O'Dwyer. The first act of Ir. O'Dw% er was the appointment of Mr. Carthrew's son to an office in the department.—Dublin Evening Post. THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—HiS Excellency took his departure this afternoon, for Ilfracombe; in order to be present at his father's funeral, on Thursday next, the 24th in stant. His Excellency, who was accompanied by Mr. Matthew Fortescue, jun., sailed on board the Sprightly steamer. His Excellency returns to Dublin on Saturday.—Dublin Evening Post, Tuesday. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday afternoon, when the Strand was in its most crowded state, thronged with persons on their return from wit nessing the royal procession, and vehicles of all kinds rapidly passing , a child, five y ears of age, the son of la bouring parents, was knocked down and run over by an omnibus while attempting to run across from Hunger ford-street. The poor little fellow was instantly picked up . and carried to the Charing-cross Hospital, and exa mined by the surgeons, who found the mark of a wheel (the hind wheel) which had passed over from the hip across the abdomen, but apparently without inflicting an y injury at all ikely to prove fatal or even of serious consequence. Ihe omnibus had twelve persons in it, and was, of course, of immense weight, and the provi dential escape of the child with comparatively little in jury can only be accounted for by the elasticity arising from the tender age of the lad. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. Very little business done, and no variation in price. TEA MARKET. Prices still depressed, and some parties appeared anxious to realize, but buyers were very cautious. Low Free Trade Congou 13, Ild., cash down, and Company's Congou flat at 2s. per lb. TALLOW MARKET.

In the City scarcely any thing else is now thought or spoken of but the coming election. All parties are zealous in their canvass, and the Tories have gone the length of asserting that, if the Liberals get in one candidate, and that one Mr. Wood, they may think themselves well off. Whether this may arise from a mere boasting inclina tion, or from a sort of belief among the Tories, almost amounting to infatuation, it is not our province to determine, but it may be remarked that the more moderate of that pro verbially hot-heated party, are charitable enough to give their opponents two Members, or, in other terms, to " split the dif fei enee." The Money Market showed no movement of the least in terest. Consols fur the Account, 894- fi ; Colombian, 20i 2lh ; Mexican, 27i ; Spanish, 2.2 t-, Prices firm, though but little doing, and inquiry is made after Stock, which louks as if a rise would take place. ACCIDENT AT THE ADELPHI THEATRE —We regreCto announce that during the performance of the gun-trick, by the Wizard of the North, last night at this theatre, by an unlucky mistake he was struck in the face by the wadding of the gun. Mr. Anderson had just sufficient power to explain to the audience that the accident did not arise from any fault on the part of the person (in the pit) who had loaded the gun. Two medical gentlemen were speedily in attendance, who accompanied Mr. Anderson home in a coach; and we have the satisfaction to state that he is pro noun(ed out of danger. FIRE.-Yesterday morning, about half-past one o'clock. a destructive fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Pym, paper-manufacturer, Berner -street, Commercial-road East. The buildings, which were very extensive, are totally destroyed, together with a considerable quantity of valuable machinery. The damage done is estimated at 5,0001. LONDON AND BRIGHTON was generally reported and expected that the railway would open to Hayward's-heath, twelve miles from Brighton, on Monday, the 213th inst., ; indeed the contracts for coke, &c., were ad vertised, with the proviso that portions should be delivered by Saturday next. The opening► is now deferred until the 20th of July, by which time it is expected the whole line will be finished. Clayton tunnel, the longest and only one remaining unfinished, wifl'be keyed in on Monday next. We regret to state that Mr. Butt, who has held the office of Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms attending the Court of Chancery for upwards of thirty years , died on Tues day night at his residence, in Abingdon-street. Mr. Butt was universally respected by the profession., The right of nomination to this valuable situation belongs to Sir George Seymour, who holds the office of Serjeant-at-Arms. Mr. Butt was 70 years of age. It is said that the nomination of candidates for the City of London will, in all probability, take place on Wed day next, the 30th inst. We learn from Tiverton that Mr. Charles Ross has given up his canvass, has retired from the contest, and has left the town. The two sitting Members will therefore be re turned unopposed. Lord Surrey has been called up to the House of Peers under the title of Baron Maltravers. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL.--• The thirty-fifth anniversary dinner of the friends and patrons of this excellent institution took place yesterday at the Highbury Barn Tavern, Islington; Charles Barclay, Esq., in the Chair. Covers were laid for about two thousand five hundred persons —in the large room of the tavern for 600 ; in a marquee ad joining for 300: and in the grand marquee, 'where the Chair man presided, for about 1,600. Among the company present were Mr. Byng, Colonel Thomas Wood, Sir Matthew Wood, Mr. Pattison, Mr. Crawford, Mr. T. Duncombe, General Evans, 11r. Masterman, Mr. Attwood, Mr. Lyall, jun., Mr. Villiers Sankey, Mr. A. K. Barclay, Mr. J. J. Harrison, Mr. Perkins ' Mr. Bryon, the Governor of the Incorporated So ciety of Licensed Victuallers, and several of the past Chairmen and Governors of the Institution. In the course of the evening the Secretary announced the following liberal subscriptions:— Charles Barclay, Esq., 50 guineas. —(Loud applause.)

What the city which should be chosen above all others as our home ? It is that, the members of which form one body, in which no class seeks a mono poly of honour or good, in which no class is a prey to others, in which there is a general de siro, that every human being may have an oppor tunity to develope his powers. What is the hap piest community ? It is not that, in which the goods of life are accumulated in a few hands, in which property sinks a great gulf between different ranks, in which one portion of society swells with pride, and the other is broken in spirits ; but a community, in which labour is respected, and the means of comfort and improvement are liberally diffused. It is not a community, in which intelligence is developed in a few, whilst the many are given up to ignorance, superstition, and a gross animal existence ; but one, in which the mind is so reverenced in every condition, that the opportunities of its culture are afforded to all. It is a community, in which religion is not used to break the many into subjection, but is dis pensed, even to the poorest, to rescue them from the trde grading influence of poverty, to give them generous se m n en i , ments and hopes, to exalt them from animals . m a to happy into Christians, into children of God.

By Hunter Gordon, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn. Second Edition, dedicated _to the Cardinal Archbi,shof Malines. This edition contains an original dedicatiol, to the Cardinal Archbishop of Malines, exteuclia ; _ to 20 pp., in which Mr. Gordon lays before Iris Eminence a sketch orthe temper and actual po sition of religious factions in this country, espe cially of the Anti-Catholic fanatics, and a view of the situation and prospects of the Catholic cause in the United Parliament. The following extracts speak for themselves : " When the honourable and learned gentleman, to whom here every Catholic bosom swells with gratitude, and whose nervous eloquence, like the harp of Tara, strikes both the sorrows and the wrongs of his country, when Mr. O'Connell struck the shackles from the galled body of Ireland, and the sores and bruises of two centu ries were exposed to the view, we hoped for a little in terval of lenient councils, a short suspense of the ribald invective which her foes had never ceased from pouring on them, like a caustic poison, burning and ulcerating the imposthumation of former wounds. All men of sense, how little soever informed, expected that at least the present generation of Catholics, some of them nursed in civil war, and all bearing on them the marks of their re cent fetters, would be permitted to enter, without dis turbance, on the enjoyment of those rights which their inveterate enemies had yielded to them, and which the law of the land had at length vouchsafed to them. But scarce had their chains fallen, when their adversaries of the rival hierarchy, aided by their lay disciples, raised the cry of vituperation with more fierceness and malig nity than in any former period. Those who took their seats in the Legislature, found themselves vilified, and their country, their religion, and even their manners held up to ridicule, and made the prey of the lowest and most vulgar prejudices. And such was the desire of these men to prolong the discord and enmity of religious opinion, which had so long filled Ireland with violence and blood, that a new Protestant agitation succeeded to the former Catholic agitation of Ireland, for the express purpose of awakening the animosities which concessions had allayed, or at least much assuaged and even of propagating in England the same fury and intolerance which had long run uncontrolled on the other side of the Channel. "My Lord, your mixed chamber of Representatives, either during your union with Holland, or since the se paration, can give you no idea of the circumstances under which the accession of the Catholics to the United Par liament took place, or of the difficulties which they have had to encounter. The Catholic Relief Bill, for the first time, admitted the Irish nation to the rights which the English had enjoyed for many centuries ; and that peo ple, finding their constitutional history at length begun, were eager to taste the blessings from which- they had been excluded. During their long proscription, their wrongs had accumulated to a frightful height. The whole system of laws and institutions in that island, having been reared up without a voice in the Legisla ,ure, pressed very heavily on the children of the soil. The unexampled spectacle of seven millions, taxed to support a religion professed by one, was not their worst grievance. The Protestant Establishment there had been laid and cemented in blood, and in the maintenance olita reign had been hurried into violent and sanguinary ex cesses. When the true remedy for these disorders was at length found in the admission of the Catholics to the representation, the whole business of remedial legisla tion was to begin. The Irish Representatives were men of genius and capacity, formed in the civil struggles of their country, and thoroughly conversant in the conduct of public business, to which its wrongs had trained them, by long practice in those leagues and associations which had grown out of long misrule. The names of Grattan and Plunkett are, probably, not known in Europe. Ire land required a Catholic organ. Such it found in O'Con nell. His influence, derived originally from the griefs of his country, and supported by that organisation which the Catholic Church can always supply, as well as by his own great talents, reached its ascendant mainly through his unshaken attachment to the Catholic cause, and that uncorruptible fidelity with which he adhered to it, re gardiess of private advantages. Those who charged him with ambition, knew that a great part of his life had been one continued defiance of those allurements by which, of all men, popular leaders are the most easily seduced. Those who imputed sordid motives to him, knew not, or affected not to know, that he had relinquished profes sional emoluments sufficient to satisfy the ambitihn of any man. The baleful calumnies of the press, flung by lite rary mercenaries and Orange partisans, more easily re coiled from him ; and while he still opposed the rage of vulgar fanaticism and bigotry, he had less to fear from personal aspersions than from the unreasonable, but on that account the implacable, enmity which here prevails against the cause of which he is the champion. " How this obsolete root of prejudice supports its own vitality, and in what manner it feeds the virulence of re ligious faction, this is not the place to inquire." THE LAST KING OF ULSTER. 3 Trois. Madden, London, 1841. The author of this historical Irish tale tells us, in his introduction, that he is a • British officer who fought through the Peninsular campaign, and being seriously wounded at the battle of Sa lamanca, was conveyed by the humanity of his countrymen into the city, where he was lodged in one of the cells of the Irish College. Here, when he was sufficiently recovered from the effects of his wound, he was permitted by the worthy father of the establishment to spend his leisure in their library, and " gratify his taste by searching through the Irish manuscripts which it contained." One of these manu scripts referred to the celebrated Irish family of O'Donnell, and so struck the author's fancy, that he resolved on transcribing it, making such alterations as were necessary to adopt it to the taste of the day, and, as the orginal title was lost, of giving it the name of the " Last King of Ulster." This is a hacknied mode of introducing a story, and reminds us forcibly of Sir Walter Scott's ingenious introduction to Quentin Dur ward; but - indeed much of that transcendant novelist's manner is visible throughout the story, though, it must be confessed at the same time that the imitation is any thing but a servile one. The principal in cidents are supposed to have occurred during the exciting period of the reign of Elizabeth, and the scene alternates between England and Ire land. The " Virgin Queen" herself—as she loved to be styled—is introduced more than once on the tapis, but the introduction is seldom happy, and leaves not the slightest impression On the reader's mind. The author's two most successful cha racters are his hero and heroine—young O'Don nell, and his kinswoman, Cathleen, who after undergoing the usual amount of vicissitudes, are, as a matter of course, married in the last chapter of the third volume, and left in a state of supreme felicity. The cleverest portions of the tale, however, are the descriptive, and we have been much entertained with the author's sketches of the storm at midnight on Loch Neagh, and of the defeat and dispersion of the vaunted Spanish Armada. As a whole, however, the story is prolix and wire -drawn, and too many ' formal preparations are made for catastrophes that never arrive. Mr. Parker, of the Free-list office, Diury-lane, takes a benefit, we observe, this evening at the Haymarket. Both as box-bookkeeper, and in his present situation, Mr. Parker has always prov e d hi mse lf a ver y attentive and very meritorious servant o f t h e pu bli c , an d we trust, hi -return, his benefit will be as generally supported as it deserves to be, especially as his bill of fare comprises the names of many po pular favourites.

There appears to be a gang of most expert house-breakers in festing this neighbourhood, who both disregard and set at nought every attempt of the police to prevent robbery, by attacking the rear of these houses, to Which they have ready access by scaling the garden-walls from a large open space of ground in Caroline -street, formerly occu pied by a builder for his saw-pit, workshops, Sce., as well as from a gentleman's stable-yard inColeshill-street, which extends in a parallel line along the bottoms of four houses in Westbourn-place. In the present instance the family consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Dunlop,. two children, and four servants, were unconscious of any attempt having been made upon their house, mail the servants got up at seven o'clock on 'Saturday - morning, when a scene of the greatest confusion presented itself, the whcle of the lower part of the house appeared to have been searched with extreme care for money or plate, but the latter had been nearly all carried to the top of the house, consequently the total amount of their booty L does not exceed 20/. They are supposed to have - been several hours on the premises from the number of boxes and drawers, beSides chiffoniers, which - were found broken open, and ransacked ; it is . probable that they were eventually alarmed by the crying of an infant, as there were several portable and valuable ornaments lying on the table ready to be carried off, and they eon r fined their search entirely to the lower part of the house, , although the dravving-room door was open to theta, contained a variety of trink e t s , snu ff - b oxes, and much. and; valuable property which mi g ht eas il y have be much' been verted into money without f eir of b e i ng traced. cull' or of 1 4 " 0!' stv the thi s toet iifc', for be e ' tOa' Pr ay.
