The Times of Monday contained the following observations, which describe the principle on which Tory, statesmen essay to govern man kind:— In a small volume of fragments from the prose writers of Germany, not less remarkable for the taste with which they have been selected and illustrated, than for the ele gance with which they have been translated by Mrs. Austin, we have met with the following passage from the letters of M. Gentz—a man of whom no more need be said than that he was the confidential friend of Pitt and Metternich : " Two principles govern the moral and intellectual world. One is perpetual progress ; the other, the neces sary limitations to that progress. If the former alone pre vailed, there would be nothing steadfast and durable on earth, and the whole of social life would be the sport of winds and waves. If the latter had exclusive sway, or even if it obtained a mischievous preponderancy, every thing would petrify and rot. The best ages of the world are always those in which these two principles are most equally balanced. In such ages every enlightened man ought to adopt both principles into his whole mind and conduct, and with one hand develope what he can, with the other restrain and uphold what he ought." We have quoted these words because they describe with truth and with authority the real principle on which the policy of those statesmen who are called to war with the angry state of agitated nations must perpetually rest. If that policy was confined to mere resistance to change —if it were a mere negative and denial of improvement, the barriers so raised would speedily be o'erleapt and carried away by the stream. But whilst the Conserva tive party uphold what they ought, that is to say whatever belongs to the solid basis on which the social edifice rests, they are ready to develope and improve what they can, that is to say whatever admits of practical improve melt not purchased by the surrender of more certain and permanent benefits. The Tories assume to themselves the power of placing necessary limitations to the progress of society. They develope what they can, and re strain and uphold what they ought. They war with the angry spirit of agitated nations. But we should like to know what are these necessary limitations, and how are they ascertained ? We should like to see some definition of what ought to exist, and we should like to have some better authority for condemning the agitation of na tions than the assertion of those mischief-ma kers, of whom nations seek to get rid. Certain notions of what ought to be preserved exist in the minds of the Tories, formed not from what will be,—for of that they know nothing,— but of what has been. For example, in the country in which M. GENTZ wrote, no per sons but the aristocracy are admitted to be hold ers of land, or to possess certain offices of the State. The soil cannot be freely sold and freely purchased, nor is merit sure of its reward. To maintain those means of ensuring in Austria the domination of a class, is for the Tory statesman of Austria a necessary limitation to the' progress of society. It is one of the things which he ought to uphold, and which he does strenuously up hold, at great cost to the country. For example, too, in our country, the right of primogeniture, and the practice of entailing land, though pregnant with evil to all the mem bers of those families for whose advantage it is instituted, and an invasion of the rights of pos terity, which posterity is not bound to recog niie, are conceived to be necessary limitations to the progress of society, and statesmen war with the angry spirit of the agitated nation to uphold them. Unquestionably there is a necessary limit to the progress of society, set by the laws of the progress itself; and the cherished limits of Tory statesmen, whether in Austria or England, are mere arbitrary and unfounded assumptions—false and baseless theories, in endeavouring to give effect to which they wreck society. The quotation made by the Times admits a per petual progress in society, which admission is of infinite importance, because it demonstrates that social progress, which has taken place under every form of government, is independent of varying and arbitrary legislation, and is deter mined by the natural laws of society. But the progress being perpetual and not periodical, or returning into itself like the motion of the earth in its orbit, and man having only a very imperfect means of conjecturing the future from the past progress of society—however certain it is that this progress has necessary limits, it is plainly not given to man, and certainly not given to Tory statesmen, to ascertain those limits. They are continually thrust further off. For them, however, Tory statesmen substitute their own fancies, or some institutions heretofore esta blished, which, far from coinciding with the future of society, do not agree with the present, and plunge statesmen into a perpetual war with the angry spirit of agitated nations, in order to up hold what they think they ought to uphold. This theory of M. GENT; of the Times, and of the Tories, which they are now to act on, is, we believe, quite modern, and is a greater innova tion on old thoughts and practices than the de mands and schemes of " democratic innovators." To the period of the French Revolution, which frightened all the statesmen of Europe out of their senses, it was not supposed that statesman ship consisted in setting bounds to social pro gress; on the contrary,the feudal Governments of Europe, the subsequent Governments which gra dually abated the power of the feudal nobles, Me Governments which nourished commerce and pro moted the reformation—the Government of the revolution in England, and the Govern ment of the United States, were all founded on the principle of forwarding, not re sisting and restraining, the progress of society. The French Revolution was an attack on Government, and since then Government has been organized to oppose social progress. M. GENTZ was brought up in the anti-revolutionary school. Germany was filled with dread at the revolution in France, and from that time the Governments of Germany have assumed the character of antagonism to social progress, and have elevated their own theories and fears into its necessary limits. According to the Times, the Tory statesmen of our day are now to adopt this false and exploded theory, the birth of a momen tary panic, and are to form the Government on a principle of " warring with the spirit of the agitated nation." The elections are now so nearly terminated that the few which rem to be decided can make no important difference in the great result. We do not conceal our mortitiz•ation that it is extremely different from our expectations. We anticipated at the very worst only a small ma jority for the Tories; that all the large towns, which have so vast an interest in freedom, Would have returned Liberals ; that all the counties in which manufactures prevail would at least have retained their Liberal Members, if they did not oust anti-free-trade representatives; but our an ticipations have been much disappointed. Not only will the Tories have a majority of upwards of sixty in the new House of Com mons, but no inconsiderable number of that majority consists of Members for large towns and manufacturing counties. London, West minster, Leeds, Dublin, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and North Cheshire, making a dif ference of eighteen votes on a division, have turned out Liberals, and have deprived us even of the power to say that the town and manu facturing population is on our side. The fact certainly is so, and it now becomes our business to draw from it what instruction we can. From the first we ascribed great influence to the metropolitan elections, and when we saw the half of the City lost, notwithstand ing the utmost exertions, and the half of West minster lost without any exertion at all, we were at once convinced that little or no enthusiasm was felt in favour of the Ministers and their measures. We then saw no hope of success in a battle to be fought on ordinary electioneering principles, and decided by the length of the purse and the previous attention to registration. On both these points the Tories had a pre-emi nent advantage. They assert that they have paid attention to the registry, and their oppo nents confess that they have neglected it. Both parties accuse each other of pur chasing votes wherever they were to be pur chased, and the Tories having the advantage on this point, as well as attending to the registration, explains their success. The present failure must snake the Liberals look better in future to the registration of their friends. But why was there no enthusiasm in favour of Ministers, and in favour of measures which promise much if they fall short of men's hopes ? The Leeds Times, in the paragraph we copied yesterday, headed the West Riding Defeat, partly accounts for it by say _ ing that the Ministers had lost the confidence of the Reform Act constituency. It would be folly now to deny their loss of popularity-, and the mistrust they have excited, however unfounded and unjust ; but these circumstances are not the sole causes of the great loss of the Liberal party. It must be remembered that the Anti-Corn -law agitation had been directed to the tota l abolition of the corn and provision laws; and the modified measure of the Ministers fell fisr short of the hopes which the League had excited. In fact, tile fixed duty encountered no inconsiderable h9stility from the population of the manufac turing towns, while it found few or no friends in the agricultural districts. We derive from that circumstanee one consolation. It would have have been as easy, or easier, to carry the total abolition as a fixed duty. The compromise of the Ministers has failed as completely at present as the ultra and extreme opinions of the League ; and-while it is manifestly as unjust as the slid ing scale, it is at present as impracticable as total repeal. The compromise did no good to the Ministers with the Tories, and it put an end to the enthusiasm of the total repealers. Another mo st important filet is, that th e ma facturing districts are in great distress ; and when men suffer intensely, they are not nice •discriminators of causes. In general, the Exe cutive Government is confounded with the Le gislature, and the Ministers for the time being are always blamed for the consequences of un just legislation. The present distress is not caused by null-administration, but by Tory xuade laws. The Ministers, therefore, are pun ished, by a mistake of the constituencies, for y , the sins of their opponents. With the people, they are e ually the vi c ti ms o f l an dl or d legisla , titin,whielig, uldmakethem,wherever they have ~ , *4.1,._i;.,.. the means, er to redress the public wron g s, i‹.:::. tot ianduillresirtot, e national p rosper i ty.

For ex ample, they take office to uphold the monopoly of the West India planters, the monopoly of the Canada timber cutters, and London rotten-ship owners, and the monopoly of the Lords of the soil. Their war against the angry spirit of the agitated nation is a war of wrong against right— of plunder against honesty —of idle opulence against industrious poverty. It is an avowed war against the bulk of the people; and to this perilous contest our Tory statesmen are prepared to commit the Government. Depend upon it, as Sir ROBERT PEEL frequently s and emphatically p says, et u a l s o progress sure of st society,hey d o which o ca n be no more sure will the per stopped and restrained by such puny whipsters as Tory statesmen than the sun can be plucked from the sky, come into collision with the Go vernment, and sweep it, with all its depen dencies, out of the way. M. GENTZ, the Times, and the Tories, speak as if there was nothing steadfast and durable on earth, except—GoD help the mark !—the theories of GENTZ and METTERNICH, of the Times, and PEEL. But there is steadfastness in that per petual progress which they admit. There is steadfastness on earth as well as in the sky, though absolute rest is utterly unknown in both' The desire for social improvement exists in every age, and is permanent and steady. The increase of population is regulated by laws quite as certain as those which regulate the seasons. Commerce gradually and regularly extends on definite principles, and it only becomesirregular, and therefore inappreciable, when your GENTZES, your Times, your PEELS, your STANLEYS, and the rest of the Conservatives, undertake to regu late it, or divert it from its ordained channels, under the very modest assumption that they are appointed by heaven to war with the angry spirit of agitated nations. Let us remind this arrogant, self-sufficient crew, that, it is said on high au thority, he who appeals to the sword shall perish by the sword, and the Government that established on the principle of warring against the spirit of the nation, will certainly perish in the conflict it begins and provokes. Lord MORPETH has long been conspicuous as a steady friend to Liberal principles. We deeply regret, therefore, that he should have been re jected by the manufacturing population of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Though Lord HOWICK will act on his own opinions, and is therefore not favoured by either party, he is an in dustrious,pains-taking man, who generally masters every subject he undertakes. All his speeches ou trade in the House of Commons have been conspicuous for good sense, and we can not but say that the freeholders of Northum berland have done themselves no honour in rejecting him. Nor have the manufacturing population of North Cheshire merited the ap probation of the country for preferring Mr. LECH to Mr. STANLEY, who is a fast friend to Liberal principles and the manufacturing inte rest. The termination of the elections for North Cheshire, Northumberland, and the West Riding of Yorkshire against the Liberal cause, has made the Tories wild with joy, and has certainly excited in us no little regret. At the same time, it is a great compliment to these three gentlemen that the Tories exult so vehe mently in their exclusion from Parliament. It is a testimony to their power and their useful ness, which will recommend them the more to the constituencies whenever a favourable opportunity occurs of sending them again to Parliament. We have received the whole of the French Journals of Sunday. The joy of the French Ministry at the success of the Tories in England knows no bounds, and M. GuizoT, who in reality has no cause to complain of Lord PALMERSTON'S condescension towards him, is antici pating the day when his Lordship will be one of the " outs," and he himself hand in glove with one of the " ins." The Court of Neuilly is also much gratified at the improved prospects of its friend and unexpected apologist, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the anti-constitutional propen sities of the wary despot who now rules France, will re ceive a tenfold impetus from the countenance which is to be afforded by a Tory administration. It will be rather a curious spectacle to see the Tories for their own tem porary purposes coalescing with the French Conserva tives ; but that such will be the case is confidently anti cipated at Paris. Our correspondence of Sunday, from the French capital, shows us that the loan—the projected loan of the French Government for 450 millions of francs, is still the practically absorbing question there. The house of ROTHSCHILD (which is stated to have had to pay fifteen millions of francs on the last settling day), is believed to have encouraged the emission of the Austrian loan, and the remaining series of the Russian loan at Amsterdam in order to depress the French market and beat down the French Minister of Finance, M. HumANN, to reasonable terms. • It is certain that the Minister has considerable difficulty in getting capitalists to listen to his prices ; the receivers general have fought shy of the matter, and it is almost impossible but that sooner or later he must lower his terms. Meanwhile he is furiously and blindly pursuing his illegal and unconstitutional at tempts to increase the produce of the revenues by fic titiously increasing the population returns of large towns, and employing his fiscal agents as a kind of spies to aid him in his views. The riots at Toulouse, which have been very serious, have had no other cause than this ; and they come at an awkward moment to increase, if that was possible, the hatred and contempt universally felt for Louis PHILIPPE and his subservient minions. Many of the more moderate of our Parisian contempo raries express their alarm at the threatening look of affairs, and predict that the opposition to M. HUMANN'S measures may very possibly end in a gene ral refusal to pay taxes. When the profli gate expenditure of the Government established in France since 1830, on the soi-disant econo mical principles is taken into consideration (the total deficit in the French financial department incurred since 1830, amounts to nearly 1,000 millions of francs, besides the national debt of 6,600 millions), it is impos sible not to foresee that the people will, some day or other, become aware of who the real swindlers are that cheat them out of their hard-earned money, and that another lesson of popular vengeance will be read to those who come into power, professing the purest prin ciples of political virtue, but who have turned out to be a set of selfish speculators, with no more principles of political consistency than MACIIIAVEL himself. M. MAIIUL, who has been sent to Toulouse as the new Prefect, and who is about as welcome to the inha bitants of that manufacturing town as Sire. WETHERELL used to be to the Bristolians, is said to have been given over as tin ame-damnee to the Minister of Finance by the Minister of the Interior, M. DUCHATEL. M. MARuL was Director-General of Police, and was the most busy, officious, and troublesome individual who ever filled that office. He was always getting his superior into scrapes by his over-zealous interference, and DUCHATEL, who is a quiet good-natured man of the world, was fond of his own pleasure, and not liking to be bothered by an understrapper, turned him over to his hot-headed col league, IluasANN, as one of the right sort to perform his dirty work. The result has been the riots at Toulouse. It is said that the reason why General BUGEAUD'S ex peditionary columns are so slow in getting back out of the Arab country is that the number of invalids they have to drag after them is tremendous, and that some of the men are severely afflicted by opthalmia. As usual, the French reports of the operations of the campaign will be grossly exaggerated. The efforts of Marshal Soult to get his son appointed to the Embassy at Vienna, have been baffled by the peremptory re fusal of Prince Metternich to acknowledge the new Ambas sador by the title of Duke of Dalmatia. It is Count d'Appony who has been entrusted by his Government to give to IN. Guizot the answer that the Cabinet of Vienna, having de dared once for all, that it would not recognise any title de rived from its provinces formerly conquered by the French army, it could not make an exception in favour of the Duke of Dalmatia. This now has been transmitted by M. Guizot, by telegraph, to Marshal Soult, which is said to have induced the speedy return of the latter to Paris. It is added that M. Guizot, having as some consolation left to the Marquis of Dal matia the choice between the Embassy to Rome andt hat to Naples, he will end in accepting the post of Ambassador at Naples, and in that case, as we said two months ago, the Duke of Montebello will be sent to Vienna.—Le Commerce. SHERIFF COURT, LOCHWINNOCH.— NON LIABILITY OF A MINOR.—A young man, verging on majority, who was qualifying himself for the important department of manager of a chemical concern, applied to Mr. Morton, then manager of Moorshiel Barytes Work, to get instructions for manufacturing of Barytes, and to dye green, yellow, blue, &c. ; and for this im portant information he agreed, by a holograph letter, to pay Mr. Morton 61. Much attention was bestowed by him on the pupil, and having fully initiated him into all the secrets, and properly taught him all he was desirous to learn in various nice scientific departments, on applying for payment of the promised stipulated recompense, it was from time to time evaded, but not refused. Mr. Morton being compelled, from this un grateful and unhandsome conduct, to prosecute the pupil, he pleaded the legal privilege of minority as his only defence, while he admitted the employment, and being taught. His father being also in Court, was ex amined and questioned respecting his knowledge of the transaction, and his son's getting the benefit sought by him. He admitted that he was cognisant of the fact, but denied his liability to pay for this important branch of his son's education, on the bare plea of minority. Mr. Morton then wished to make him the onerous party, and examining the son as a witness, but the Judge refusing to allow this, the only alternative left was to make a refe rence to the father's oath. After much hesitation and de murring respecting his knowledge and approbation of the agreement, and of the benefits procured by his son from Mr. Morton, he denied having become responsible, and the son was accordingly assoilzied from the action and pay ment of any remuneration whatever—solely, however, on the plea of not having yet attained twenty-one years complete.— Glasgow Courier. A Strathaven correspondent mentions, that, at a remote part of the moor on the Sidehill of Avondale, there was discovered on the 12th June the remains of a human body imbedded in solid black moss, about 2i feet below the surface. When carefully opened up, the body appeared to be that of a man fully six feet long, regu larly laid out east and west, without any coffin, but in a full suit of clothes, which appeared to be of very antiquated form. The cloth and the body went to pieces on handling, but by careful inspection the coat was observed to be long in the skirts, with only one seam down the back, and ornamented there with rows of buttons made of cloth, and without any neck or collar, one outer vest of the same texture of cloth, and an inner vest of a finer fabric and lighter colour, both of which reached far down the body, and had a great number of buttons and holes ; for breeches there was a piece of cloth like an apron or kilt, bandaged down with a broad waist belt or sash of strong cloth, ornamented with tas sels ; and for stockings, plaiden hose with garters and knots ;no shoes. It cannot be ascertained how long the body may have lain there, the skull was not found, only the under jaw with a very long bushy beard resting on the breast, and from the circumstance of there being a large cairn of stones on the top of the hill, about 150 yards from the grave, it is supposed they may have been raised to commemorate a battle, or the death of a war rior.—Glasgow Herald. ELGIN, JULY 9.—We are glad to learn that the late genial rains and warm weather have had the most beneficial influence on the crops in the upper parts of Moray and Banffshire. The growth in the corn fields has been very rapid during the last ten or twelve days; and the pastures, which before the rain were bare and brown, are now rich and green, Potatoes generally pro mise an excellent crop; and we have not heard of any failures in the upper districts. Turnips, which, from the cold dry weather at the time of sowing, made for some weeks little progress, are now coming on finely; and with a continuance of favourable weather, will make a close crop.—Edinburgh Courant. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1841 SUMMARY OF W D Vu AN bitr " Who runs may read." ABROAD. FOREIGN-COLONL&L. The Moniteur of Sunday announces that the distur bances at Toulouse had ceased on the Bth inst. The authorities conceiving Cat the body politic was in too phlethoric a condition had recourse to the old remedy of blood-letting. Swords and bayonets are the lancets of des potism, and the operators on this occasion, some compa nies of cavalry, employed them pretty freely upon the heads, arms, and bodies of men, women, and even chil dren. In breathing the veins of the disaffected, some in offensive individuals had their arms run through, re ceived stabs in the back, and had their heads brought in unceremonious contact with horses' hoofs. But what of that, so long as Kings and Governments regard bleed ing carcasses and broken heads as the most wholesome examples for the mob ? Details of the achievements of Louis PHILIPPE'S barber-surgeons will be found in an other column. The Moniteur of Monday (yesterday) since re ceived by extraordinary express, states that matters were worse at Toulouse on the 9th instant than on any of the preceding days. The citizens had thrown up barricades, houses were ransacked by the troops, and the proclama tions of the new Prefect were burned in the principal streets. Similar scenes are reported to have taken place at Montauban, and in Carcassone the citizens had taken arms to march to the assistance of the inhabitants of Toulouse. If the imposition of the new taxes meets with such opposition, how are they to be collected ? We predicted that the war frenzy in France would lead to this. M. Thiers' whistle tickled the ears of the people. but we foresaw that a day would come when, like the boy Franklin, they would discover that they were paying too dear for it. The news from French Africa is reported in the Moniteur of Sunday to be very favourable. Particulars will be found elsewhere.- The Cour Royale of Paris decreed on Saturday the dissolution of the Electoral Reform Society. To unite to extend the franchise is henceforth a crime in France. In the excess of its parental solicitude the French Go vernment takes upon itself all the popular share in the preservation of constitutional liberty. The people have nothing to do but to furnish the conscriptions, pay the taxes, bear official inflictions without grumbling, and when not prepared to chaunt the praises of the " best of Kings," to hold their tongues. Despite of our bribery, our intimidation, and our corruption, we manage these things better in England. The reported victories of the Turks over the re volted Cretans turn out to be the fabrications of a lying French physician attached to the suite of Tahir Pa.cha. Such lies are no novelties. When the insurgent Greeks were masters of the Morea in 1823, the Ambassadors of the Christian Powers at the Porte gravely as sured the Sovereigns assembled at the Congress of 'Verona, that the insurrection was completely extin guished by the victorious troops of Sultan Mahmoud. While the Cretans continue to fire a shot we shall not credit any reports of their being conquered. Nor will a single battle decide the fate of the brave Spakiots, who for centuries bid defiance to the whole power of the Moslems. Advices from Madrid of the sth inst. bring the cheering intelligence that 10,000/. out of the 50,000/. due to the unfortunate British Legion, was on that day re mitted to London. In the distribution of this instalment we trust regard will be had to the relative indigence of the poorer claimants. AT HOME. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. O'Connell, in a letter addressed to the Dublin Electors, says :—" The enemies of Ireland have tri umphed, but be not daunted, my friends, a petition will unseat the gxterminators of yourselves, and your holy and sacred religion. Ireland cannot bear my absence from the House at this crisis, even for a moment ; have therefore accepted the representation of the honest men of Meath." —• The cry of a goose once saved a city ; on Satur day a cockatoo prevented a burglary. Some thieves broke into the premises of Mrs. Decaux, Grapes, public house, Borough. They were making for the wine-cellar, when a cockatoo uttered his accustomed ejaculation, " Who are you ?" The rogues were alarmed, and pre cipitately fled. The Waterford Chronicle states that eleven persons were shot in that city on Thursday, by a man named Morgan, for shouting " Down with the Tories !" Mor gan has been fully committed. Mr. Green, accompanied by his daughter-in-law, Captains Ward and Currie, Messrs. Davidson and Dudley, ascended in the grand Nassau balloon on Mon day night from Vauxhall. At the haunted house at Cleaver, near Windsor, the other day, an elderly gentleman was floored by a cross buttock from the phantom-fist of the goblin who tenants that mysterious domicile. Nothing was seen, but very considerable inconvenience was felt, by the venerable gentleman. Mr. Sheil stated at Dungarvon the following plain speaking fact :—When the duty on coffee was ls. 7d. there were sold but one million pounds ; when reduced to 6d. twenty-seven million pounds. Tory management lost us America—once our most valuable colony, now our most formidable rival. There is a rumour afloat in Renfrewshire, that on this election, instead of friendly bets for " a new hat," thousands of pounds have been gained and lost. A barge was on Monday afternoon removing sand from the bed of the river. Snell, one of the bargemen, while pulling up a pole to which a gravel-bag was at tached, slipped and was swept away by the tide. Drags brought him ashore, but life was gone. The speech-day at Harrow came off excellently last week, and the exhibition was interesting. Frede rick. Peel's Latin Essay gained him his father's medal; whereon Dr. Wordsworth remarked that he had gained that reward, "in the presence of the founder, that founder being his parent, and that parent Sir Robert Peel." Wilkins' Greek Prose, for the Hope prize, a translation from Lord Bacon's " Advancement of Learn ing," was also excellent. The Times, a day or two ago, fastened on Mr. Roe buck the imputation of having published a certain placard proposing to cancel the national debt, and refused to pub lish that gentleman's letter in denial of this assertion, al leging its coarse terms as the prevention. Mr. Roe buck jeers at this hollow shift, and remarks, " The per sons who write in the Times ought to be the last to quar rel with rough language." A Bath paper states that the Census has caused considerable annoyance in that fashionable city. Seve ral ladies, hovering on the shady side of thirty, have en deavoured to evade it by abruptly retiring to the Conti nent ; and one elderly dandy, hopeless otherwise of es caping the inquisitorial scrutiny into his age, actually took up his abode in a hackney-coach, in which he was driven about the city throughout the obnoxious Monday night ! We understand that the Bath Census reveals one astonishing fact—namely, that of all the unmarried spinsters there, scarcely one has grown a year older since it was last taken ! Not a few bachelors, too, still stick at the same age which they owned to in 1831 ! LAW AND POLICE. —At Marlborough-street Police-office, on Monday, Mr. Forrest, a military officer, was charged with horse whipping a cabman in Piccadilly at two o'clock that morning. The cabman, on being called to take a fare, found the defendant on the box, and two of his friends inside about to drive off, when he seized the horse by the head, and for that was severely whipped. The defendant was at last secured by the united exertions of four men, and ultimately fined 5/. for the lashing. At Marylebone Police-office, Elizabeth Maxwell, who stabbed her husband some days ago, out of jealousy, was brought before the Magistrate, and remanded till Thursday. One of the surgeons of Middlesex Hospital certified that there was now some hopes of his recovery. At Union-Hall Ann Williams and her paramour, W. Tanner, were committed to take their trial at the ensuing Assizes ; the former for robbing Samuel Hard acre of eleven sovereigns, a twenty franc Louis, and a ten guilder piece ; the latter for receiving the same. ELECTXONEZEING. Mr. Wilbraham, in his speech at South Cheshire , observed, " The peopl e o f this country wer e su ff er i ng for want of reciprocity in trade. The American Presi dent, in his last Message, had said he would pause for a while, and see what England would do. The United States were, no doubt, ready enough to put a heavy tzriff on our manufitctures, unless we established a fair reci procity. -- A friendly correspondence has taken place between Lord Teignmouth and Sir Benjamin Hall, in which his Lordship insinuates that his late colleague had taken too much credit to himself for services rendered to the borough. Sir Benjamin admits, that in a speech on the hustings he used the words " it appeared to me, that in regard to the local affairs of the borough I had been almost their only representative." His Lordship, on the other hand, claims his share . of the honour, gives a short history of his Parliamentary labours for the good of his late constituents, and expresses surprise that Sir Benja min Hall should in his absence have imputed to him " a culpable dereliction of duty." TIZEILTRICELL. C. Kean appeared on Monday at the Haymarket, for his benefit, in the character of Romeo. Miss Tree played Juliet. The house was crowded in every part. COVAT--FASEEIONABLES. It is said that the Queen and Prince Albert will not return to Buckingham Palace until just before the meeting of Parliament. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will reside principally at Kew this autumn. The Duke of Wellington is not expected to return to town from Werner Castle till the first week in August. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort intend setting out in a few days for a tour in Germany. We understand that no day has been fixed for the departure of the King and Queen of the Belgians. A public meeting would have taken place imme diately for the purpose of offering some tribute of re spect to Sir David Wilkie's memory, but it has been deemed best to postpone it till the Parliament meet in August. RUMOURS OF THE DAY. The celebrated Dr. Pusey and family have arrived at Kingstovm, Ireland, in order to bathe, as the papers state, but many suspect for other purposes, to import into Oxford the true Catholic faith and the best editions of Old Peter Dens' horrible Popish publications. The veteran General D'Albiac, father-in-law of the Duke of Roxburgh, and a red-hot Tory, has converted his noble son-in-law to his political doctrines. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. There was a good deal of business doing in the Funds to-day ; but although in the early part of the day prices receded a trifle, purchases could not subsequently be made at the decline. Consols were 894 to 894 for Money, and 894 to 894 for the Account. Exchequer Bills realized 17s. to 14s. premium. Bank Stock was firm at 1694 to 170 ; East India Stock was at 248 to 249, the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 994 to s ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 988 to a ; and the Reduced Three per Cents. 90 to 894.

The Railway Shares continue to slide down gradually. Great Western suffer more than any other line, on ac count of the unfavourable rumours respecting a decline in its traffic, and which it is believed may have caused the non-publication of the usual returns at the close of last week. The Old Shares were done at 18 to 17, the New at 74 to and the Fifths, at 4:1 prern. ; London and Birmingham Shares brought 69, York and North Midland 24, and South Western, 164 prem. ; Brighton were 64 to 6 ; Blackwall, 104 ; Croydon. 4 ; Manchester and Leeds, 20 ; North Midland, 334 ; and South Eastern, 18;1 dis. ; London and Westminster Bank Shares were 21 ; and Provincial of Ireland, 16 premium.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 11.—There has been rather better business done in the Cotton Market this day, the sales amounting to 3,000 bales, at steady prices. In export or speculation nothing has been done.

We have received Montreal papers to the 24th June, and Quebec papers to the 21st, but they are void of news. We have received Bermuda papers to the 16th June. The Tobasco Government Journal of the 11th March, con tains the following article Chiapas.—The progress of the Federal troops in this province is so rapid, that they have already the whole of Chiapas, and have hemmed in the Centralists in the fort of St. Christoval, the capital of the province. From the energetic measures of General Anaya, it is believed they will be forced to surrender." We have an account this morning of not less than three packet ships from New York, the England, at Liverpool, of the 21st June ; the Quebec, at Portsmouth, 22d June ; and the Garrick, at Liverpool, of the 26th June. By the last date the Exchange upon England is quoted ti to 8% ; United States Bank shares, JBi, and rather looking downwards. Accounts from Panama, of the 16th May, state that the re volution of New Granada will soon be at an end, as all the provinces have declared themselves against the Central Go vernment, and are demanding reforms and federations. Several bloody battles have been fought in the valley of Caura, where the Federal forces have been victorious. The two pro vinces of Panama and Veragua, seeking the destruction of the Republic, have declared their independence, and formed a sovereign State ; the Convention now sitting is framing a Constitution, and has already made several liberal laws, giving facilities to commerce, free transit of all foreign goods, foreign correspondence, &c. : a law is now debating, empowering the Executive of the new Government to give and grant to any respectable Company a new privilege, with every encourage ment on the most liberal terms. On the 17th of May a vessel arrived from Guayquil, bringing the intelligence th a t Viven cay's advanced guard, which was near Arequipa, had been de feated by General Gumarra's troops.

The Duchess of Glou cester paid a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge on Monday evening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, ac companied by the Princess Mary of Cambridge, took an airing yesterday to Kew. The Royal Duchess and the Princess'returned to Cambridge House in the evening. Viscount Palmerston arrived in town yesterday from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. In the after noon the Turkish Ambassador, accompanied by one of his Secretaries ; Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambas sador, and Baron de Brunnow, the Russian Minister, transacted bUsiness at the Foreign-office. M. de Mon tezuma, the Brazilian Minister, also transacted business yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. RIOT AT HAWICK. At the polling at Hawick on Thursday, some disturbance took place, in consequence of the mob breaking the windows of the Tower Inn, and hustling and annoying the electors of both parties as they came forward to the polling booth. About thirty of the police of Edinburgh were sent out, for the purpose of preserving the peace, under the orders of Sergeant P. Mackay, and they were required by the Sheriff, to prevent the mob from breaking the windows of the inn. They accord ingly proceeded to act under the orders of the Sheriff, but it was evident to the authorities that their single force could not put down the riot, and, accordingly, a despatch was sent for a troop of the 4th Dragoon Guards, who were sta tioned about three miles from the town. The dragoons were speedily brought to Hawick, headed by the Marquis of Lothian, and, by their great coolness and good discipline, dis persed the mob without any injury being done to any one. Similar disturbances occurred on Friday afternoon, with rather more aggra vated circumstances. As the Edinburgh po lice officers were leaving the town, bottles, brick-bats, and other missiles, were thrown at the omnibuses in which the men were seated, and, had they not been protected by the dra goons,'it is probable that some of them would have been seriously hurt. The affray became so serious that the Sheriff considered it necessary to read the Riot Act, and to warn the people of their improper conduct. The dragoons were ordered to clear the streets, which they effected without any injury to the people, and no further disturbance took place.—Scotch Paper. COURSE OF EXCHANGE—(YESTERDAY).

LAF kYETTE.—I saw General Lafayette to-day, and never felt more disappointed, as his appearance does not at all correspond with what I had imagined it to be. The " Lafayette aux chcveur blancs," as the popular song describes him to be, is, au contraire, a plain old man, with a dark brown scratch wig, that conceals his fore head, and, consequently, gives a very common and, to my thinking, a disagreeable expression to his counte nance.—Lady Blessington's Idler in France. EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS.—Those mag nates of the press, our stamped diurnal and weekly Con temporaries, are eternally bragging of the wondrouP, not-to-be-equalled rapidity with which their gigantic resources enable them (exclusively) to cater for the public. That there is frequently a vast deal more bounce than truth in this we believe, and indeed know. Here is (to us) an amusing case in point. In the Gazette for May 29th last we inserted a startling ac count of the " Execution and Extraordinary Resuscita tion of a Murderer, at Louisville, United States. This originally appeared in, and was by us extracted from the New York Herald. We did so, not as a matter of intelligence, for we know sufficient of the " pains and penalties" of Somerset House to guard ourselves against that ; but as being undoubtedly the most extraordinary case ever recorded in the annals of science, of the won ders of galvanism—the body of the murderer (John White) having been experimentalized upon by medical men, after it had been suspended for twenty minutes, the neck broken by the fall, and, to all appearance, life ex tinct, yet even after all this, the " vital spark" was for a brief space recalled ! The particulars of this experiment appeared, we repeat. in the Gazette for May 29 ; imagine, then, the amusement with which, during the past week, we have beheld this " old acquaintance" of ours " going the round" of our " big brethren" of the stamped, as a piece of exclusive intelligence, which, with astonishing ra pidity, they road transferred from the other side of the Atlantic. Our especial favourite, the Globe, claims the merit of being " first in the race," having inserted it in its columns Saturday, July 3d instant ; that is, only thirty-four days after its publication in the Gazette On Sunday, out came the Dispatch, and some of the small fry of weeklies, with the same dish of horrors. Tues day the 7'imes thundered it forth ; Wednesday, the Chronicle retailed it ; and, for aught we know, on Thursday, the Post by the same means made the hair of many a lady's maid "stand on end." How do we know that the autumnal visitors to bathing and water ing-places may not beguile the tedium of some wet morning, three months hence, with the same recital ? for, by that time, if it keep the same rate of progress as hitherto, it will, "we reckon," reach the County Chro nicles, Guardians, and Expresses."•—Cleave's Penny Ga zette. THE STEAM-SHIP PRESIDENT,--In connec tion with this long-lost vessel, there is this curious fact. Since her departure hence, we have received informa tion of no less than six large steam-ships, or men of war, having been seen at sea in a disabled condition, and have not heard a single instance of any attempt made to affcrd them relief. There is a reason for this. When a mer chant vessel sees at sea a shipwreck that has every appear • ranee of a vessel of war, they invariably "cut and run" from them, as they would from the plague. They do so, because they are convinced that if the crew of the wrecked man of war, numbering perhaps two or three hundred souls, had become desperate for food, they would unhesitatingly lay violent hands on all the provisions the merchantman had, under the " law" that " might is right," and the poor merchant Captain sent to Jericho. We do not be lieve that ever a man-of-war was relieved by a merchant vessel, unless by force, or being near some port. This explains, we think, why all large disabled vessels are passed unheeded.—New York Paper. CANVASSING ON THE M0011S.—" Feyther," said a farmer's strapping wench, on his return last week from Rochdale market to his sheep farm in the moors of Spotland, "Feyther, there's bin a felley beer sin' yo' wen'n off this 'mornin." " Well, an' wot did he want ?" asked the farmer, " Want !—he sed he wanted yo'r suff'rins for a Member of Parliament." " The dule he did ?—but yo gan him none, I gewse ?" " Nowe, mi mother sed we hadno' one i'th' heawse, for yo'd'n ta'cn 'em o'to Roby Bank, at Ratchda." " Well, an' wot sed lie then ?" " Sed !—he set up a gurd o' laighin' as iv he'd ha' brasteel, till I legit th' dogg lose, an' then he ran like owd Nick ; but'he laaft bwoth covet laps be'ind him." —Manchester Chronicle. A FULL PRICE RADICAL BAKER.—Arnong other instances of sudden conversion which took place during the late contest for Cheltenham, the case of a baker stands conspicuous. This nian signed the requisition to Mr. Gardner,—promised his vote to Mr. Gardner, when that gentleman waited on him—was in and out of the Blue Committee-room two or three times a-day during the canvass—brealcfasted at Mr. Gardner's expense on the morning of the polling-day, —at half-past one o'clock of the same day, took lunch and sherry with Mr. Gardner's agents at the York Hotel—and, at two o'clock of the same day, voted for Mr. Craven Berkeley 1 This looks much more like a bribery case than that of poor Potts, so ostenta tiously brought forward on the hustings by Mr. Berkeley himself. The baker's price has been guessed at N.— Cheltenham Paper.'. ATTEMPTED ►SUICIDE BY THE LADY OF AN OFFICEIL—WINDSOR, JULY 12.—Considerable ex citement was created in Adelaide-square, King's-road, on the evening of Saturday last, by the report, that a lady, who had been living with Lieutenant-Colonel Glennie, of the 60th Rifles, for upwards of 20 years, had attempted to commit suicide—and had nearly effected her purpose—by hanging herself. It ap appears, that upon Colonel Glenmes returning home from the barracks, between five and six o'clock in the evening, he found the front door of his house in Adelaide sqUare fastened. The Colonel broke into the house through the window on the ground-floor, and upon his proceeding up stairs discovered the female (who is about forty years of age), suspended by a rope from the bed post, black in the face, motionless, and apparently dead. She was instantly cut down, medical aid obtained with out a moment's delay, and after the lapse of some time she was fortunately restored. The cause of her having attempted self-destruction is attributed to the circum stance of the Colonel being about to espouse a widow lady of considerable property, residing in Clarence crescent. A LITERARY PRISONER.-A few days since the chaplain of Lewes gaol found one of the female pri soners indulging her literary taste in reading Scott's de lightful novel of " The Heart of Midlothian"--a very appropriate work for a young female, who, from the nature of her case, was a second "Effie Deans." The book was of course taken away, and an inquiry instituted as to how she became possessed of it. MO Ft N 'ENG sT)N. CASE OF MACLEOD. The followine: recolution offered by Mr. Floyd on the 24th ult. was called for consideration. Ile'vett,—" Tina the i-reslitezii, of the united States_ he requested to inform this House whether an y officer of the army of th e U n it e d States has, since the 4th ot March last, been directed to visit the State of New York for any purpose connected with the imprisonment or trial of Alexander APl,eodepotand, if so, to COcommunicatfe to this house copies o f the i nstruc ti o ns to, and rep ot such officer. Mr. Floyd said it was the general impression that high military officer had been dispatched by the Treasury Department to interfere in the trial. The belief h caused much excitement and indignation. fell Mr. Ingersol spoke for nearly two hours. Ile upon the letter of Mr. Webster to Mr. Fox, and atfirme re that the positions assumed by the Secretary we grossly erroneous, and that without the lea st necessity he had capitulated to the British. Mr. Alford approved of the letter of Mr. Webst er to the British Fox, and maintained that the former had not stepped aside an inch from the course commenced by Mr. Poinsett. He thought Mr. Webster deserving of the appellation of " Well done thou good and faith ful servant of th e Republic." the Mr. Cushing asked Mr. Ingersol to l ook at effects of bringing these great and d elicate sub jects into the arena, while, at this mom they are under the advisement of the Judicia r y of l'it" York—at this very hour, while this critical question is being carefully deliberated by the Judges of New Yorki the gentleman comes forward and makes it the subject c.) a deliberate premeditated party speech against the Aduil nistration.. The gentleman had talked about the capilid a " tionb Mr. Webster, but did he forget the conduc t . y of fir. Van Buren? It was true that Mr. Van Buren, on the burn ing of the Caroline, did make a demand on thel3ritish Gao: vernment for satisfaction. But after the demand II a been made, it was suffered to sleep for three long until a new Administration came into power; w hen all once, and by a spasmodic start, it was found ou t that country had been insulted, and injured, and t hat full and ample atonement oug ht t o b e ma d e .
