Lassos, JULY s.—The Cortes have, during the past week, been occupiel with subjects, of mere domestic interest; such as the law of Foraes, or quit rents, and the provision to be made for the parochal clergy. It is expected that the projects of the commission, or more proserly the modifications made in them by the Government, will meet with much opposition in the Senate. By the copy of the project which I sent by the last mail, you will have perceived that, amongst other things, the commis :ion proposes an augmentation of the import duties on several sorts of foreign manufactures. The details with which I have been furnished only regard woollen and cotton goods. To begin with the former:— Carpets and rugs, which paid 360 reis per lb., are to pay 400 reis per lb., an increase of 11 per cent. Blankets, horse-cloths, and saddle-bags, to be raised from 240 reis to 280 reis per lb., an increase of 17 per cent. Druggets, damask, woollen web, broad-cloth, rateen, ladies =cloth, and satinetts, to lie raised from 360 reis to 480 reis per lb., being an increase of 33 and one-third per cent. Baize, coarse and glossy, and seraphims, from 240 reis to 280 reis per lb., an increase of 17 per cent. Baize, fine without gloss, of snore colours than one, from 140 reis to 170 reis per lb., an increase of 21i per cent. Shawl.' and handkerchiefs of kerseymere, printed, from 400 reis to 600 reis per lb., au increase of 50 per cent. " As several sorts of goods pay the same rate per pound, it follows that those whose cost is highest pay the lowest rate per cent. on their value ; but it so happens that the articles of the greatest consumption are those of the least value, and most of these, it is said, will he effectually excluded, should the ex tra duties be laid en. Superfine broad cloth will continue to pay at a comparatively moderate rate, but the advantage, in this respect, will be for from compensating, in any degree, for the injury done, as regards other articles, its consumption being very limited in thin market. " It is not known what augmentation of duties is proposed upon the cotton, and the information I have received on ti is head relates principally to the alterations priticipally made in the customs tariff, and to come into operation en the 20th of next month. The effect of this augmentation will be to shut out most completely several of the articles chiefly, if not solely, imported for contraband transmission into Spain, and eventually to exclude many others imported for the same purpose, as the Spanish smugglers, being accu,tomed to look for a certain assortment of goods, will look for it else where if they can no longer get it here. The total cessation of that very profitable trade into. Spain, may, therefore, be, shortly expected as a necessary cotistquence of the foOlish measures of the Portuguese Government. The principal articles for the Spanish market are cotton shawls and hand kerchiefs, and it is therefore upon these that the heaviest duties are to be laid, with the view of giving a lift to the Portuguese printing establishments, which it is absurdly imagined will thereby be ensbled to import the goods raw and gain the in termediate profit of printing them. The absurdity of the at tempt consists in this, that it is persevered in after having been tried without success, the Spaniards having always shown the greatest possible distaste for the Portuguese patterns. The distinction made in the duties on goods, in which there is scarcely any difference in quality or va'ue shows at once the object aimed at. Thus, printed cottons pay a comparatively moderate duty ; but if, although of the same fineness and value, they should be marked for division into handkerchiefs, the rate amounts to a prohibition. By this means, the impor tation from Scotland, which consists principally in shawls and bandkerchiefs, will soon be nearly at an end. The abolition of the differential duties, established in 1837, for the encouragement of the national shipping interest, which the commission proposes, though favourable to British navigation, will operate injuriously upon the im portation of British goods, as the importer will cease to re ceive the bonus of 15 per cent. upon the amount of duties with which he has h therto been favoured in respect to goods brought in Pcrtuguese bottoms. Nevertheless, we may re gard the abolition as a benefit, since it will tend to give the carrying trade again to British vessels. The commission, likewise, propose an extra duty upon butter, of ten reis per pound, which is very likely to put a total stop to the trade from Ireland ; which, indeed, has been already brought to so low an ebb by the competition from Hamburgh and Holland that, whereas the average importations formerly was 50,000 firkins a year, only 1,400 firkins have been imported during the last six months, of which 600 firkins came by the Portu guese schooner Voader, and 800 by the Echo. Both these cargoes arrived on the same day, to what was considered an excellent market ; but, unfortunately, two other vessels came in from Hamburgh nevt morning, and of course down went the prices at once from 290 to 260 reis, so that the speculation must have proved an unprofitable, if not a losing one. From the ruinous effects of this competition we were formerly se cured by the treaty of 1810, according to the provisions of which our goods only paid half the duties charged upon those of any other country. " The Government has given great umbrage to the army, y depriving several officers of their commands, and placing nem upon the retired list, without assigning any reason for so loing. The object of this is evidently to substitute them by others on whose political adherence they can more confidently rely. Colonel Mesquite Pimentel has demanded a court-mar tial, and it is expected the example he has set will be followed by others. Count Bowfin, who so recently left Lisbon for his estate in the province of Alemtejo, with the avowed purpose of retiring altogether from public life, has again made his appear ance in town. As he was a great favourite with the army, this sudden alteration in his resolutions is said to be regarded with some degree of uneasiness by the Government. " On the 30th ult., a quantity of exchequer bills and notes of the old paper currency, amounting together to 194 contos, or 44,000/. were cancelled and destroyed at the treasury. " M. Passos Manoel, well known as .the leader of the de mocratic party in the last Cortes, and sometime minister of finance, has been elected to the seat left vacant in the Senate by the death of Baron Ribeira de Sabrosa. " The following documents appear in the official part of the Government journals. I(From the Diarie de Goberno, July 3.) " ' Itappearing that Portuguese vessels frequent the ports of Africa, that not being the destination mentioned in their pass ports, and experience showing that such deviations from the course they naturally ought to pursue have for their object the illicit ir .ffic of slaves, the Queen commands, by the Secre tary of State for Marine Affairs,lbat the authorities of Western and Eastern Africa, with the adjacent islands, at all times that any 'captain or master of a national vessel enters a port of their respective jurisdictions, which port be not mentioned in the passport of the ship, that they oblige the said captain or master to give a bond of security for his proceeding directly to his des tination, being respons . ble for any deviation that way be com mitted; and that bond of security shall not' he raised without presenting a certificate of its fulfilment.

Ton LOUSE, JULY J, —Precautionary measures were taken last evening, by M. Mahul, our new Prefect, to avoid the po pular manitestations which he knew awaited him on his instal lation. But, notwithstanding the immense display of military force collected on the Place de St. Etienne, the giratest part of the population had congregated on the spot at an early hour, and soon after commenced singing the Marseillaise hymn, 7 and crying " Down with Mahul ! Dorn with Aumann Whilst the charivar i was thus prpceeding, without any in terruption, a large body of artillery soldiers, with their swords drawn, galloped from the Rue Boulbonne to the Place de St. Etienne, and took up a position in front of the Prefecture. After some manoeuvres, commanded by M. Case, who ad vanced at the head of the cavalry, M. Arzac, who was in the centro of the square, near the fountain, mounted on a stone and endeavoured to harangue the multitude; his voice, how ever, was drowned by the noise, and all we could hear of kis patriotic harangue was, " Gentlemen, you know me; you know me, gentlemen ;" after which he descended from the stone, and di-appeared in the crowd. Whilst M. Arzac was striving to speak to the public, M. Case, summoned, in the name of the law, a few citizens quietly assembled near the coffee-house to disperse, but was saluted with a volley of harsh expressions, which we refrain front repeating. In the mean time the exasperation of the authorities had reached its height. Charges of cavalry were executed without any notice in the Rues Boulbonne and Riguepe. Most of the spectators then withdrew, and only a few individuals remained at the angles of the streets, where detachments of infantry intercepted the vassage. The conduct of the police and troops, and the sight of the gendarmerie, who rushed out of the Court of the Prefecture as if from an ambuscade, charging the population with vio lence, thrown down every body before them, and taking one of the spectators by the fret and dragging him in that position ' until he was rescued from their hands, roused the indignation of the people to the highest pitch. Bands of individuals then traversed the city, breaking the lamps in the very presence of the authorities and of the armed force, and drawing across the streets the ropes and chains of the lamps to check the advance of the cavalry. At half-past 12 o'clock at night the Place St. Etienne re mained in the possession of the troops, and M. Mahul was lulled to sleep by the sweet murmurs of the marks of sym pathy which had been lavished OR him with so extraordinary an unanimity. In the mean time 500 persons, forming a detached corps, the the 3,000 or 4,000 exccutans of the charivari, proceeded to the house of M. Plougoulin, the Attorney-General, in the Avenue Lafayette, crying " Down with the renegades ;" and throwing stones into the windows of his apartment. Four persons were then arrested, one of whom was apprehended by M. Plougoulm himself. Yesterday a great portion of the gai riion had been consigned, six pieces of artillery were kept in reserve at the Jacobins, and barrels of ball cartridges were forwarded to the Place de la Moniiaie.—Emancipation. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT AT C HESTER —FOUR LIVFS LOST. On Friday morning a most shocking accident occurred at the top of Bradtord-road, b y the fall of part of Mrssrs. Gil more and Kelly's factory. 'This factory, which is one of the largest in the town, is situate on the south tide of Bradford road, at the distance of about. fifty yards from the street ; and the proprietors had rocently enlarged it, by the erection of a wing, extending from the main body of the building neatly up to Brad ord road, and connected on that side with the mi.l chimney. The wing, which is five stories high, two stories lets than the main building was nearly finished, and the lio,ler and some of the machinery had been • placed in it. The painters and plasterers were employed in some of the lower rooms, and a number of women were at work in the upper story just before the accident occurred. About ten minutes before twelve yesterday morning the whole of this building suddenly fell to the ground, leaving only a small portion of the end wall standing, next to Brad ford-road, and which was connected with the large chimney of the mill. The occurrence is described as having been sudden in the extreme. It was preceded only by a loud crack, which being heard by the women who were employed in the upper story, they had just time to effect their escape before -the building was sonverted into a heap of ruins. The unfor tunate workmen who were employed below, not hearing the noise, and not apprehending any danger, remained in the build ing, and were most of them buried beneath the ruins. As f.r as can be yet ascertained, seven persons were in the building at the time that it fell. The cause of this melancholy event cannot be exactly ascertained; some attribute it to the injury done to the building by the late heavy rains. The names of the sufferers are—John Bridge, of Clayto-i, plasterer, taken out dead; Thomas Curly, labourer, Fawcett street, taken out dead soon after the accident ; Michael Con. nor, labourer, taken to the Ancoats Dispensary alive, but d'eti in the course of an hour after ; John Flannigan, labourer, Store-street; this unfortunate man was still buried in the ruins at eight o'clock last night, but every exertion was being made to discover him, though there was no hope that he would ba rescued alive.— Manchester Times. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. (FROM A CORPESPONDENT. ) MORTETII ' SUNDAY EVENING. —1 enclose the state of the poll for the Northumberland election. Although Lord Howick is defeated the small minority is a matter of very great triumph, when it is remembered that for five years the Tories have struck off and placed upon the registry such persons as they thought proper, without opposition from the Liberal party, by which there were 300 Tory voters who ought not to have been there • that the Duke of Northumberland, and the other Tory landlords, left nothing undone to influence their tenants. (saom A CORRESPONDENT. ) EAST CORNWA SATURDAY.-The Tories are in a state of the greatest vexation at the determination of the Reformers to go to the poll. The greatest excitement consequently pre vails on both sides, and it is by no means a sure game that the Tories have to p'ay. They calculate d too much upon the farmers sacrificing all their desires for Reform—all their former principles on account of the Corn-laws ; but the procession from Pencarrow on Wednesday last, headed by that bold, ener getic, and true Cornish man. Sir Wm. Molessvorth, and the other procession from Glynn, headed by the Gallant Sir Husf.ey Vivian, consisting altogether of several thousands of people, convinced the Mononolists that thee were still in danger.

DARLINGTON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 10.—The elec. ors of this division of the county have done their duty nobly, and responded to the appeal nude to them in a patriotic man ner. I send you a statement of the poll up to three o'clock on Friday last, since which time the Liberal candidates, Vane and Bowes, have rapidly left their Tory opponent an immeasureable distance behind. I said, from the outset, Mr. Farrer would have no chance of success, that although the Tories might think that they had only to commence operations, and they would walk over the course, it was well known the men of South Durham had only to put forth their energies and they would crush their opponents. The result has realised anticipations. At the close of the poll Mr. Farrer addressed the electors. He spoke of having the good wishes of the people, and declared his intention to contest the division again wher.ever the oppor tunity occurred. The Liberals, we hope, will take a hint and attend as efficiently to the registration as the Tories have done, and not suffer them to object to voters without defending their claims.

A very large force of military, infantry, and cavalry were brought to the lecality of the Court in the evening, together with horse and foot police, in anticipation of disturbance, but nothing fur ther occurred. _ _ _ There is a considerable number of undecided votes, inde pendent of the above returns. After the poll was announced, a conversation took place be tween counsel relative to the hour this morning to which they should adjourn, and it was arranged that they should sit at seven o'clock. Mr. Monahan, Counsel for the Liberals, proposed to the assessor, that as there was a large number of objections undisposed of belonging to letter M, and as there was also a very considerable number of Liberal voters remaining un polled in that letter, he should, on sitting in the morning, dispose of those objections before entertaining the objections of any other letter. By adopting this course, the deputy, on sit ting, could place the votes that were allowed on the poll, and then proceed, without delay. to receive the votes of those re maining unpolled. There were but few voters unpolled in the other letters, and, therefore, no inconvenience could arise from taking the course suggested by him. Mr. Keatinge (Counsel for the Tories) resisted this pro position, and contended that the objections should be disposed of as they were on the files, without giving priority to any par ticular letter. The polling was resumed this morning, and the Liberals made great efforts to recover their lost ground ; but although they had plenty of voters to poll in letter M, to secure a majo rity, the system of obstruction practised by the Tories since the commencement was persevered in, and the bribery oath was put by them to their own vote's. A new project was started by the Tories in the forenoon to prevent their defeat. 'they brought to the poll a batch of free men, or pretended freemen, not registered six months, and some who were not registered at all. The assiesor decided upon admitting every man of them ! At the last election of this city a similar attempt was made by the Tories, but the then as sessor, Mr. George, although himself a Tory, at once decided against the proposition, and the unregistered and unqualified freemen were rejected. At half-past three o'clock, Mr. Monahan, Counsel for the Liberals, applied to the Sheriff to open another booth for voters in the letter M, as 600 of them remained unpolled. The assessor peremptorily refused. It is by such means as these that the To ries will effect a temporary triumph in the City of Dublin. At three o'clock to-day, the numbers on the poll, as far as they could be ascertained in the confusion, were— O'Connell and Hutton West and Grogan 122 The Tories will be declared returned tonight, but the re turn cannot be made until very late, - owing to the vast number of disputed voters still undecided.

The third and last fete of the season took place on Saturday afternoon, at the Society's grounds at Chiswick. The attend ance, though not. so fashionable as usual, owing to the very early period at•which the season has this year broken up, was numerous and respectable; the- number was computed at 7,00 0 . The exhibition of fruit was particularly good. The pines and cherries, especially, called forth universal admiration, and there was one basket of .grapes finer arid richer than anything we have ever seen within the tents of the Society. The shun of flowers is never as good at this fete as at th se of the two pre vious months,-and the present occasion was not an exception to the rule.

HALIFAX, JULY 10.—There was by no means an average business to-Jay, whether this arose from parties being fully en gaged in the election it is difficult to say, but it is . highly probable that. such w: s the case ; at all events no sales of im portance took place by which any chan,,,,,Nft the value of goods could he indicsted.

HUDDERSFII LD S JULY B.—We have had a miserable market, so far as re .. ,ards the amount of business transacted ; but as no one perhaps expected much to be done , t he disappoint ment of such cannot be great. The feeling a the market is rather downwards, though some of our merchants are under stood to have considerable orders in hand. LEEDS, JULY B.—There is not the least change to note in either of the halls; indeed, so little attention ha' been paid to business last week, and which will also be the case t o doubt during the present one, owing to the County election, that coming to market is more a form than with any chance of dying business.—Belton Free Press. It is currently reported rhat the Tories will no attempt to oust Mr. Shaw Lefevre from the Speakership o the House of Commons. The amiable manners by which he is characterised, and the impartial conduct which he has dis played in the chair, as well as his great ability in conducting the bus'ness of the House, have d ese rvedly rendered him a great favourite with the House of Commons ; while, on the other hand, Goulburn and Wynne, being both dee;ded politi cal partizans, it is felt that strong objections exist towards both, on that. and on other grounds. One of the highest To ries in the land, and an M.P. fur an influential place, ex claimed the other day, upon being appealed to on the subject of Goulburn's election for the Speakership. " Goulburn be d—d, he is but a tinkling cymbal !"British Queen. On Saturday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, as a mon named Maxwell, residing at No. 23, Spring street, Portman-square, was sitting in the taproom of the City of Hereford public-hous , , near the Baker-street Bazaar, drink• ing beer with some of his companions, his wife looked in, and, seeing him there, left the place without saying a word ; in a short time she returned, and, raising her arm, struck him with great violence upon the back ; she then quitted the house in much haste, saying, as she passed by the bar, " I said I'd do it, and I've done it." Maxwell, who felt conscious that he was injured, but knew not at the moment by what means, said to a man next to him, " Do look at my back, pray, for I'm sure there's something the matter ;" he did so, and directly exclaimed, " On, my God ! you'ro stabbed." A dessert knife, the blade ef which was about 4i inches in length, had penetrated to the extent of at least 3i inches, just. below the blade-bone of the left shoulder, and it required consider able force to draw it out. The poor fellow bled profusely, and in a state of great exhaustion was conveyed in a cab to Mid dlesex Hospital, when he was pronounced to be in an alarming condition. The wife, who admits having inflicted the wound was, after an hour or two's search, taken into custody by Sim mons, 147 D, she was in conversation at the time with an other female, in Gloucester Mews, and on being told what she was wanted far, she said to the officer, " I didn't intend to get away ; I'm quite ready for you, and will go quietly." Maxwell is her second husband, and from some inquiries which have been instituted, it seems that a feeling of jealousy prompted her to make the attempt upon his Lfe. He has for some time past been employed as a dris er of one of Hansom's patent cabs. DEATH OF MR. PEREGRINE COURTENAY. —We regret to announce the death of the Eight Hoh.

EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTION.—We have occasionally heard of a turni p of such luxuriance o f growth, that a hare, a brac e of p artrid g es, or is. pheasant, has conveniently found stowage within its ample sub stance. We have not yet heard of the carcase of a sheep being similarly accommodated. Such, however, might literally be the case with respect to a turnip now in the possession of a clergyman near Faken ham, in Norfolk, which is certainly one of the most extraordinary vegetable productions eVer witnessed in this country The turnip in question was sent to the above gentleman by a relative - in Aus tralia, upon whose farm it was grown from seed supplied from England. It affords a surprising' instance of the rich fertility of the soil and geniality of climate in that region, and, monster as it is, is by no means an uns usual production there. it was grown in Maria Island, Van Diemen's Land, and carefully packed in strong brine, by which it has encountered the long'voyage in a good state of preservation. Its weight is 841b5., girth 5 fret 2 inches. When first taken up, it weighed 99.1b5:, thus showing a subsequent less of Blbs. Upon its receipt in this country it was caretially unpacked in the presence of several agriculturists, and immediately weighed and measured, giving the results above stated.

STATES OF AMERICA, AD , :DRESSED TO THE GOVERNOR OF EACH STATE. -Sxit,---As an alteration in the general system of bank ing in the United States is now under discussicn, I sub mit the following plan for consideration, which I think will be found to remove all present difficulties, and to 4 'itture prosperity, by preventing fluctuations in - 1 1 saleable commodities, in foreign ex time, be productive of consi- T have long recommended the Bank of '.4:11 the ensure-- the eurrenerh—, changes, and, at the deragle revenue to eatth Statfi its adoption in this country, by supersct—__ England, and the country banking interest, Bank Circular, are now urging it upon the,notiee of Government, who have had it iii ciintetnpation•foryvars. I Ur— ..en propose— That each State should establish a Bank on its own ac count (to be called after the name of the State), because all the ruin brought upon commerce is occasioned by in dividuals possessing the mischievous privilege of issuing the currency of a nation. One thousand pounds are in sufficient to enable a private bank to circulate paper re presenting 200,0001. Thus such persons have two hun dred times the advantage to speculate and unsettle prices, by fietitiouS capital, that all others have with only the same primitive amount of real capital, which real capital becomes depreciated in consequence. That the affitirs of this Bank should be conducted by Commissioners, to be chosen by the local Legislature, or Executive, or as may be agreed on, to be under their jurisdiction, supervision, and control, and all the trans actions of the said Bank should be published annually, that every citizen might have the opportunity of ex amining them, and of seeing that the profits and benefits were equitably disposed of. That each State Bank should be the only ,bank of issue, (not of general depeSit,) and should do no private business on its own account, so as not to interfere 'With the Joint,Stock Banks, nor with the eommercial .trans.‘ actions .of the locality. - That each State Bank should discount the conunere'a paper of all the Joint Stuck Banks *in the same' endorsed by them, to an amount proportioned to the paid*. up capital kif each separate Joint Stock Bank, On this prineiPle the Bank of England discounts the. paper of such Joint Stock Banks 'as do not issue their own notes, at three per cent., generally' 'to the amount of four times their rid-up capital. That the State Bank being the only bank of issue, d discounting the paper of all Joint Stock Banks would be an e&ctual check against the over issue of .any individual bank, either in imprudent discounts, which it would detect, or in speculations ruinous to the general welfare. • . 1 . Such unlimited issues occasion injurious fluctuations in the currency, unsettle the prices of all saleable coin modifies, and render all commercial transactions a cies of gaMing, by which a few become enriched, whilst thousands are daily sacrificed. That the State Bank, by receiving 3 pr cent. on most of the local mercantile bills, thus discounted for Joint Stock Banks, would realise a revenue which would considerably diminish the local taxation, whilst it would place every bank in the State upon an equality, differing only in the extent of capital, not in principle, nor with its results. That all the notes issued by the State Bank in dis count to any Joint Stock Bank, might have the name of the said Joint Stock Bank engraved on them, to show that such Joint Stock Bank was responsible for all such notes so issued, and in circulation on its own separate account, the same as it would be had the said notes been issued direct from the said bank as its own. That these notes should be convertible at pleasure when presented to the Joint Stock Bank whose name was engraved thereon, in the same way that its own paper would be convertible, if it were in circulation. Or, as. is the case with the Bank of England, That the State Bank notes should be all alike, and should be declared a legal tender locally, for general convenience, except at the State Bank itself, the same as Bank of England notes are now declared throughout this kingdom. In the former instance it would throw the responsibi- lity of conversion upon each separate bank, as though the notes were its own, and which in reality would be. In the latter the conversion would fall upon the State - Bank. In this event it would perhaps be requisite for the said Bank to issue a certain amount of its own paper in the pur chase of gold and silver for this purpose, which paper would . be secured on the respOnsibility of the local Go vernment, as any trifling. public , loan would be. Each State could, of course, adopt either of these forms most in accordance with its own impressions. , That the Goiernment should receive all these notes in payment of public dues and taxes, and its Treasury be permitted to re-issue themigain, in the payment of public disbursements, but should not be permitted . to „issue any new notes belonging to the State Bank, not previously is sued in discounts to the Joint Stock Banks, or in the pur chase of gold and silver, as aforesaid. In fact'all GOvern ment assignats should be securely guarded against, no note being admitted into circulation without its equiva lent being first deposited in the State Bank. That the State Bank should never issue a note on its own account in the payment of any of its commissioters,. servants, or otherwise, except such as should arise from the profitS and benefits of its own transactions, the balance of which would, of course, be carried annually to the Credit of the State's Treasury, on which it would'be more regular to draw for the aforesaid disbursements. .. The foregoing is the mere outline of a system which would keep a quantity of responsible and well-secured paper in circulation, always sufficient for the exigencies of commerce, but never superabounding, so as to occasion disastrous fluctuations in prices generally.

Stn,—Permit a foreigner, resident in England, to ; ad• dress a question to you for solution, as he has in vain endeavoured to obtain a clear and comprehensive answer to it among his acquaintance. Why. should it be taken for granted by all parties in this country, that when Lord Melbourne ceases to be Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, Baronet, should im mediately succeed hiM ? If .it be what is called a con stitutional proceeding for the Sovereign to dismiss the Ministers when a majority of-the Houses of Legislature are adverse to their political opinions, yet upon what principle is it. that one particular person should, as it were by right, succeed another in the post of Premier ? Has, or has not, the. Queen the power to deliberately consider whether she could not find a deputy more con genial to her own political feelings than Sir Robert Peel ? Is it a political fiction, or supposed to be a reality, that the Queen is a Reformer ? And if her Majesty be a Reformer, how can the people generally respect her character, if she consent to appoint a Tory Government. and conduct the business of the country on an anti-improvement plan ? I am,.Sir, with great respect, Liverpool, June. 9, 1841. • AN AMERICAN. [The Sovereign of this_ country must ultimately yield to the majority in the House of Commons, and that ma jority, of course, has the right to choose their leader.— Ell, Sun.] THE EARL OF CARDIGAN.—The rejection of the Earl of Cardigan by the Senior United Service Club on Tuesday last, has excited more discussion than a circumstance so natural would have provoked, but for the active Tory canvass that had been carried on in his behalf. He paid dearly, however for this canvass, having subscribed largely to the Tory Election Fund. He sent, among other sums, as we stated some days:ago, 5001. towards the election of the Hon. T. S. Wortley, for the West Riding of Yorkshire. As there have been contradictory accounts respecting what really took place at the ballot, it should be stated- that one black ball in ten excludes the candidate at that military club ; so that Lord Cardigan, in order to neutralize the 28 black balls which met him on Tuesday, must have had one white ball more than 252. Now, as he had only 166 white balls, it results that he required at least 87 white balls more to get him in. There is a story going the rounds respecting his Lordship, which we notice only to express our disbelief of it, for it is really monstrous. The story goes, however, that about three or four weeks back the Queen and Prince Albert drove up to Buckingham Palace from Claremont • the escort, consisting of a de tachment of the 11th nussars, halted to breathe their horses. Lord Cardigan was riding by at the' time, in plain clothes, and seeing the horses rather more blown than suited his caprice at the moment, asked the ser jeant of the escort whether this was always the case with the horses, and, being answered in the affirmative, indignantly replied— . " Then it must not be so—SHE must not go so fast." Assuredly this cannot be true, and most gladly shall we afford his Lordship the means of giving it an authorized contradiction.—Qbserver.

Sir David Brew:.t r states' its'his Opinion that it is of vegetable origin. Sir ,Isaac 'Newton :conjectured that the diamond was pm bably an unctuous substance coagulated ; and Sir D. Brewster, after detailing many important facts, considers that the conclusion is rendered the more pro bable by other analogies, viz., that the diamond origi nates, like amber, from the consolidation of perhaps vegetable matter, which gradually acquires a crystalline form by time ;sod the slow action of corpuscular forces. India has always been famous for its diamonds, more however on account of their superior hardness and bril liancy than for their size ; in this respect they cannot be said to equal those from 13razi/. Their locality is in allu vial sand or rubble, chiefly- from the beds of rivers, and they are usually found for the most part in high and rugged tracts of country, the vicinity of which is peopled with numerous tribes, extending from Golconda across the interior of Orissa, The principal mines in former times were those of Raolconda, Color, and Sumbulpoor. At Raolconda the diamonds occur in narrow veins tra versing the rock, and mixed with the sand and earth which fill their cavities. At Galia Color they are met with in the soil of a plain, which stretches along the foot of some high mountains, and are found here weighing from ten to forty carats or more ; they were accidentally met with in this situation by a countryman, who, on digging his ground to sow millet , met with one of these stones of great size. This gave rise to a general search, e ven to th depth of from ten to fourteen feet, until they found water, which served to wash the earth with ; it is even stated that, at one period, 60,000 persons were employed in the search at this place. At Sumbulpoor, in Bengal, they are found in the sand and gravel of the river Gouel, which falls into the Mahanuddy. As re gards the size of those obtained from this locality, they are by .. no means so large as those from Color, which yielded ,shah Jehan, the celebrated stone, weighing 793 carats. Whdri Tavernier visited this mine 60,000 persons were employed ; of late, from some cause or other, it has not been much WorLed, probably from the supply ' having become so exhausted as not to make it worth while to continue operations. The diamond mines of Brazil were discovered in 1728, and yielded such an abundant supply to the mar ket as to lead the Portuguese Government to limit the number of persons employed to seek for them. Large diamonds do not, however, abound in this country , although some of considerable size have been occasionally met with. The European market is chiefly supplied from the mines of Serro do Frio. Of all the depositaries of diamonds, the most cele brated is the river Jiquitonhonha, which flows nearly as broad as the Thames at Windsor. When worked, the channel is turned aside, either by canals or pumps, and the earth from the bottom due: out. The cascalho is then laid in heaps by the side of a flooring divided into various compartments, into each of which a current of water is admitted. While this passes through, the cas calho is kept in constant motion by raking it till the earthy particles are washed away. The negro sta tioned at each compartment then begins a most diligent search for diamonds. When lie finds one he clasps his hands, and holds it up between his forefinger anti thumb, to the overseer, who places it in .a bowl suspended from the centre of the shed. When a negro . presents a stone of seventeen carats and a half, he receives his liberty ; and handsome presents are given whenever any diamond of inferior, though of considerable size, is found. The cutting and polishing of diamonds was first in troduced in the year 1456 by Louis Berghen, a native of Bruges, who found that, on rubbing two stones together a new facet was produced, a discovery the result only of accident. A . wheel was subsequently invented which was made to revolve rapidly, and was fed with diamond powder instead of corundrum , wh i c h was formerl y used y the Hindoos and Chinese, and this probably was the method employed in the most remote ages in Asia. The descendants of the celebrated diamond-polishers of Gol conda are still to be found at Muni Mudgoo, in the Pun eliapoliam taluk near Gooty. The following ,ttre the most remarkable diamonds on record. The largest that is. known seems to be that of the Rajah of Matan, in the East Indies. It is of the purest Water, and weighs 367 carats, or, at the rate of 4 grains to a carat, upwards of three ounces troy. It is shaped like an egg, with an indented hollow near the smaller end. It was discovered by Laudak about 100 years ago, and though the'posseSsion of it has cost se veral wars, it has remained in the Mattan family for 90 years. A governor of Batavia, after ascertaining the qualities of the gem, wished to be the purchaser, and offered 150,000 dollars for it, besides two war-brigs with their guns and anummition, together with a certain num ber of great guns and a quantity of powder and shot ; but this diamond possessed; suchuelebrity in India, and was regarded as a talisman involvirig the fortunes of the Rajah and his family, that he refused to part with it at any price. The diamond possessed in the time of the traveller Tavernier by the Emperor of Mogul, a king dom now no more, weighed 279 carats, and waa l :pckoned worth upwards of 400,000/. It is said to have lost: half of its original weight in cutting. After these.prodigiot;s gems, the next are -1 . that of the Em p eror of Russia,, bought by the late Empress Catherine, which weighs 193 carats ; it is said to be of the size of a pigeen's egg, and to have been bought for 90,0001., besides an annuity to the Greek merchant of 4,000/. It is reported that the above diamond formed one of the eyes of the famous statue of Sheringan, in the temple of Brame, and that a French grentaber, who bad deserted into the Malabar service, found the means of robbing the pagoda of this precious gem, and escaped with it to Madras, where he disposed of it to a ship captain for 2,008!., who resold it to a Jew for 12,0001. ; from him it was transferred for a large sum to the Greek merchant. 2. That of the Em peror of Austria, which weighs 139 carats, and has a slightly yellowish hue ; it has, however, been valued at 100,000/. 3. That of the King of France, called the Re gent or Pitt diamond, remarkable for its form and its perfect limpidity. Although it weighs only 136 carats, its fine dualities have caused it to be valued at 160,0001., though it cost only 100,000/.

It was low water at the time, and with assistance the whole of the pas sengers, notwithstanding their numbers, were safely landed without a single accident. It appeared that the vessel passed over an anchor, which injured her bottom. On the return of the tide nothing was to be seats of her but a small portion of ber funnel appearing above the water. The occurrence took place between 'Vauxhall and Westminster Bridges on the south of the river. DEPARTURES.—Mr: and Mrs. Williams, from Portland-place, on a visit to the Hon.

(From thir"licw Statistical Account of Scotland.") O n e .scene in .this parish-'---that of- -Quiraing— must be particularly noticed. This remarkable formation of nature consists. of a secluded piece of level and fertile ground which is concealed in the face of an almoSt inaccessible precipice. Theo hill in which it is situated, i 9. about 1,000 feet in " height,- 4 aud - slopes by a steep. declivity towards the west ; but towards the north-east, it presents a face of rugged precipices, much variegated by being here and there composed of huge basaltic columns, or massy fragments of fluted rocks. in other parts, large spaces, formed into concave sections, present themselves to the view, and have a majestic appearance from being ribbed transversely, either by small fissures, or protube- . rant seams, over which a little rivulet drizzles in moist seasons of the year. In the face of this huge precipice, then, Quiraing is enshrined, and en tirely hidden from the view of the visitor. This interesting spot consists ofa green plot of ground, formed into an oblong platform of sufficient ex tent to contain six or seven regiments of soldiers. It is studded all round with massive columns of ,rocks, rising up in lofty peaks, by the interven tho of deep chasms, which are for the most part i naet ,„' sssible. On approaching the great inlet to the eagerly lOoked ter platform, the passage is obtructed Py stones and rubbish, which have been washed doin; from the crevices by the gradual waste of successive ages. When these o 'stacks , are overcome, the visitor finds himself at the , entrance of a steep wsage, which woaid seen tu lead to the top of he hill. To the right of this entrance stands an isolated pyramid of - rock, called the Needle. By considerable .eXertioa • the tourist gains the top of tale pass, and beholds with indescribable wonder ele scene which-opens to his .view . ! Instead of seeinr i ... as he -would ex pect, some narrow cave, he iieholds a spacious opening - before him, in. the 4iitre 'of which stands the above mentioned platform. By -descending a shOrt,distance, , and threading his way by a small path he is instantly led to tha beautiful green plain which it was alt along his object . to attain. He now- feels utterly 1:001- dered, and quite 'at a loss what to exam,:ne .first, or to admire most ! He beholds the rocks frown ing aloft, and the rugged cliffs ranging them .selves in circles around him. Rocky pyrawid , :, like a bulwark, encompass the fairy plain • 4.? rt which he stands. All is felt to be a dreary soli tude; yet there is a pleasing beauty in the silern repose. The golden eagle is seen soaring aloft: in the blue firmament. A panoramic view (4 - distant sea and district below is . visible; only in detached _ fragments, through the -ragged ciiffs and chasms between the surrounding pyramids. The rocks which compose these huge columns are so streaked and variegated, that the visitor's imagination cannot fail to-delineate hundreds of grotesque figures of the wildest description on their surface. The nature of the day on which this in teresting place is visited has a great effect upon its: appearance. It is so studded and encompassed. with columns and pinnacles of all heights, sizes, and figures, that their flickering shadows, on a sunshine day, have an enchanting effect on all who behold them ! Light and shade' are-'then so uncommonly divided, and so constantly changing positions, that the place, in consequence,' is greatly enhanced in beauty. But shoulda dense mist envelope the spot, as is frequently the case, the scene is greatly changed. instead of being lively and enchanti a night-like gloom fulls over it, like a shroud of darkness! The thick mist, slowly floating through the pyramids, and concealing their rugged pinnacles from the view, gives a sombre appearance to the whole ! The visitor's imagination will lead him to think that the gloomy pyramids before him bind earth and heaven together ! He cannot but admire ; but, at the same time, he is filled with a sort of awe, which causes him to ascribe the marvellous works which lie shrouded before him to. the won derful doing of that Omnipotent Being who created all things.

'On the other hand, there is a hazard in any luau who has engaged in the business of politics withdraw ing for a time. He may acquire a taste for retirement unfitting him for the resumption of his task ; and as nothing is stationary, he may find when he returns, that he has fallen in arrear of the topics and business of the day, and has been forgotten by the herd who live only for the moment. A secession of a very few years may make any man feel that he belongs to a past generation. and is out of place in that which exists. Neither Mr..
