THE PROROGATION. L Here the Usher of the Black Rod advanced to the tlble, and summoned the House to the House of Lords, to hear the Queen's Speech. The Speaker, accompanied by several Members, immediately proceeded to the House of Lords, and after a short absence returned, and announced that the House had been to the House of Lords to hear her Majesty's Speech from the Throne—(for which see i. Lords' report). The House then rose. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PARIS, AUG. 11.—The Bureau have choien the fol t, lowing members to form the Commission of the Re gency Bill :—Dufaure, Lacrosse, Thil, Hebert, Gil lot], Salvandy, Sebastiani, Dupin, Lawrence, being two of semi-Opposition, the rest Ministerial. The Commission on the Enquete concerning the elections Is not so evenly balanced ; there are on it four Oppo t,, sition Members—Barrot, Courcelles, Beaumont, and another ; five are Conservatives. The Chamber did not commence the discussion of the Address till a late hour, being occupied in the Bureaux with the Regency Law. M. Thiers declared • himself entirely for the Bill as it stood; some objected to its being too general. '• All the Paris journals of Thursday condann the project of the Address as far too poetic and ill-written. Nevertheless, the first four paragraphs of the Ad dress were put to the vote and adopted. Three per Cents., 78E 55c. PORTUuAL. Advices from Lisbon to the 2d inst. have been re ceived, by the Alban Government steamer (from the coast of Africa and Madeira), which left the Tagus two days later than the regular packet. The Cham bers had been finally constituted on the previous day, her Most Faithful Majesty having selected (as previ ously announced) Senor Gorjao, from amongst the five candidates whose -names were sent up by the neputies, for the Presidency of the Lower Chamber. Gorjao stood first on the list. The Miouelite Albano had the next highest number of votes. Padre Marcos, the Queen's Almoner, stood low on the list. Another ecclesiastic, the Bishop of Malacca, received a few _ . totes for the post of one of the Secretaries, but was not successful. A new commercial treaty with Brazil was likely to be very speedily on the tapis. The late French Ambassador, M. de Varennes, was also expected at .the French Ambassy, to resume very speedily the post which he was supposed to have finally vacated. £he Lynx, her Ma esty's brig of war, had removed temporarily from the Tagus to Gibraltar for the Purpose of provisioning. The Don Pedro, Portu tuese frigate, had proceeded to the colonies. Joso .stevao, the noted Septembrist le-ider, and a con ..hadta on the Opposition side in the Cortes, been posted in the .Diarie " a slanderer, a Man of base passions, and unconscious of the feelings of a gentleman." Senor Aguilar, the Spanish Ambassador, just arrived from Madrid, has had an audience of the Puke of Terceira, in which he unfolded in his official Pacity the various complaints of the Spanish Go 4,,svernmeat against the Portuguese. These had refe '7, I,,enee to the incursions of bandits from the Portuguese "6 1 the . Spanish territory, to the employment of two alleg os some months since at Oporto to assist in the e x ecution of a man named Magalhaes, and to the removal 31 all depots of British manufactured goods from the frontier towns. The answers upon the first two points Were so satisfactory that even the most unprincipled -• hostility could scarcely insist further upon them. As announced to us two days previously, the offending band had been cut to pieces at Castello Branco by the Portuguese authorities. The Gallages at Oporto Were proved to have been free agents, and a further Pecuniary compensation was offered, while, with re gard to the third point, the pretension was so mon strous that it could not be for an instant sustained.

BERLIN, AUGUST 4. —l.he criminal investigation which has been commenced in the case of fraud by the Counsellor of War, 13., seems to become very ex '. tensive, and the inquiries.that have taken place in con 3equence in several offices are said to throw a very unpleasant light on money transactions of preceding ' - Yeas, in which persons now dead are said to be im , licated. A merchant who has extensive dealings 1 4 timber has lately been arrested as implicated in this affair. HANOVER, AUGUST s.—The King has returned from Ems. He came back yesterday, sooner than V iAs expected. We hear that the Crown Prince, wLo IS at Norderney, enjoys good health. Nothing trans- Pires respecting the approaching marriage festivities.

Several persons are missing. The fire broke out yesterday evening, and at ten o'..dock, as it said, through the carelessness of a woman. While I write these lines the fire is spreading; all attempts to stop it appear to be in vain, for the wind is high Itild there is iAtle water. FRONTIERS OF SEUVIA, JULY 27.—We hear that the Turks, from Bosnia, have made an incursion into • ttle lierzegowina, have plundered several villages, carried of the cattle, and committed innumerable ex -•sses.

Sir ROBERT PEEL, yesterday, happily conducted the first session of the Tory Parliament to a close: It would he alike unjust to him, and unfair towards our readers, were we to allow that event to pass by without delivering our opinion of his merits. We know that we speak the language of his most de cided political opponents, when we say that his cour tesy, throughout the session, to all persons, even to the meanest Members of that House, has been un failing. His temper, however severely tried, seems never to have forsaken him. He has been unwearied in his attention to bUsiness, and has mastered it with a fullness and completeness of detail, which has never before been equalled. His opponents are great men in the estimation of mankind, but, in the House of Commons, he has shown himself immeasurably their superior. He has been not the nominal, but the real leader of that assembly, and has conducted all its de liberations to the ends ile-has had in view. All his measures have passed. His success has been equal to his consummate skill. The Corn keeping-out=law is his—the Income-tax is his— the Tariff is his—every legislative object he has proposed has been obtained. In spite, how ever, of his unwearied industry, and his equal urbanity—in spite of the plaudits he has won . from both sides of the House—in spite of his great skill, and his great success, he prorogues the Parliament in the midst of growing discontent and deepening gloom. Nature seems almost to have come to his aid, but in spite of a very early and abundant harvest, the funds are falling, and alarm is spreading through the land. We read only of the movements of a distressed population, and of the military harrassed to look after them. Our towns, planted with parks of artillery, appear in a state of siege; and our citizens, instead of prosecuting their industry in peace, are called on,. though they pav an immense army of defenders, to perform the duties of plicemen, and are • obliged to organise and arm themselves for the protection of their persons and property. 'Sir ROBERT PEEL has been successful beyond example in Parliament, and he has com pletely failed in the country. What is the explanation of. this ? He has com prehended the whole 'mechanism of the House of Commons, but not of society. IVe dispute not his honesty of purpose, we throw no doubt on his inte- . grity ; we believe he meant to promote the' public wel fi ire—but unquestionably he his failed. After this skilful man has held power. for nearly a year, and has been unthwarted in its exercise, the affairs of the people, which are the public affairs, are worse than when he took them in hand. Wages are lower, discontent is increased, and someth;ng that looks very like wide spread sedition prevails. In England poverty, and in Ireland offences against the law, have increased. The latent hatred between the middle and lower classes which existed when he took office, has widened into an open rupture, and the movements of troops indicate, on the part of the Government, much apprehension for the continuance of public tranquil lity. These fatal consequences of his policy arise from his being much more ignorant of the laws which regu late society, than of the means by which the House of ; Commons is swayed and governed. He has no misgivings, apparently; of his own all sufficiency. He dismisses the Parliament as com placently as if trade 'iv'aS"Reurishing and the people were prosperous and contented. He dictates to the QUEED! language of praise for the labouring assiduity which has led to no better results than those we have described. He refers, through the mouth of the QUEEN, to his own measures, as if the revenue from the Income-tax was already collected, without a murmur of discontent, and as if the tariff had already given__ the people full einployment. He tells the Houses of Parliament that they have been employed with measures to provide for the welfare of all classes by extending trade and stimulating the demand for labour; he makes the Parliament, therefore, responsible for the condition of trade and employment, and at tne same time he knows that the demand for labour is so limited as to provoke a general turn-out of the work-people, and trade so bad that those who carry it on cannot afford to pay adequate wages. He looks to the ex ample of those who have made the law to enforce obedience to it, forgetting apparently that the source of our evils, is class legislation. For the law-makers the law may be good ; the complaint of the people is, that for them it is evil. The example of the law makers in obeying a law which is for their benefit, will not recommend obedience to those who declare that the law is for their injory. Sir H. PEEL, how ever, has no other panacea for our woes. Instead of making just. laws, he enforces obedience to laws that are unjust. The Members of. Parliament are to help the soldiery, and the soldiery are to help the Members of Parliament, in preserving order and obedience. The foundations of the public order are no longer laid in the affections of the people; they rest on the sword of the soldiery and the zeal of the Justice. The truth is, the Legislature is in . fault. It has passed laws to promote particular interests, and he; made strife bet Ween those who ought to live in brotherhood. The dispute between the landowners and the manufacturers, and between the `capitalists and labourers, is the result of laws intended to con ter advantages on the different classes. Even a mother .may . mliuse her power, sojhat her children . 4AV neither love nor respect her. The hand that .a mastiff may yet so tyrannize over the, beast that it shall hate its master. flow much more, then, may a Legislature, , for which a people have no children's love, and which feed:: thein not as a man feeds his hound, become, by mis using its powers, and tyrannising over the people, contemned and hated ? Such is at present the -posi tion of that Parliament Sir R. 'PEEL haS just pro rogued; and yet he has no other reliance for preserv ing the peace of the empire than the military power, and the example of Members of Parliament in en forcing obedience to the laWs they have made. The reports from Manchester, Dudley, Glasgow, and other manufacturing and raining districts, con tinue to be of a very gloomy description. From South Staffordshire, we read that a body of colliers, swelled by other large bodies as they advance& marched into Dudley on Wednesday. " The utmost anxiety," says the Correspondent of a Morning Paper, " was felt as they approached the town, and to meet any emergency that might arise, a troop of the Yeomanry Cavalry, and of the Third Dragoons, were put in immediate readiness to act. There was, however, no necessity for their interference. The men walked into the town, to the number of fourteen thousand, and proceeded through High-street, in a sort of dead but sulky silence. The hum and bus of their conversation was the only indication of their presence, and they were repeatedly charged by their leader to observe order and silence. In this manner they proceeded through the town and to the road leading to Wednesbury, where the meeting was to he held. On the road they were joined by thousands. On arriving at the ground, there could not have been lees than 23,000 men, women, and children, all of whom were interested in the proceedings. The in terest was increased by delegates from the Scotch mines, who have .now ;turned out. After several speec4s had been made, the‘mretingr separated in the most orderly . manner. • There can now he no doubt of the fact, that a most extensiVe'organisation has been effected between the miners in England :and Scotland:" In the above simple, and apparently unexaggerated 'description, there are one or twnsignificant facts that must arrest die attention of even the. most unreflecting. The " dead but sulky silence" of fourteen thousand as sembled individuals, and their determinatiOn to pre serve order, as if impressed with :a. deep and fervent conviction of the inherent justice of the cause that had brought them.together ;—these facts, unimportant as they may appear at first sight, are in reality of the utmost moment, and indicate a spirit far different to that which influenced the great majority of the work ing classes in the days of Hurvr and Peterloo. The pre sent movements would seem to be anything but superficial ; they are not the outbreaks of mere brutal ignorance, to be put down by the 'reading of a Riot Act and the flourish of a few cavalry swords, but bear evident tokens of design and premeditation. Truly, Parliament breaks up under most auspicious circumstances ! The very day which brings tidings to the metropolis that the greater part of the North of England is in commotion, 'and that the mining districts of Scotland al3o are on the move—that day is the one selected by Sir ROBERT PEEL to send the People's Representatives about their business ! What a significant comment are the present mining and manufacturing outbreaks on the efficacy of the remedial measures which the Tory Ministers promised the country, on their first taking office. It is the working classes that are now fore Most in dis playing their discontent with the present state of things ; but the Income-tax, we suspect, will ere long, ,produce a similar ferment among the middle classes. We have just seen a letter from a manufacturer of the highest standing, to a friend in London, written on Thursday, from which we make the following extract : "The turn-out forces reached our premises at eleven this morning, stopped everything, and let the water cut of the boilers to prevent our starting again. " They held a large meeting close to my gates. Their speeches were not very violent.. They want the wages of 1840, with ten hours labour per day. They have no political knowledge, appa rently, and are ignorant of \Aar thq- should strive for. All mills areit a stand in Rochdale-,the shops are shut—and the whole neighbourhood is sud denly plunged into alarm and confusion." " Peel, Graham, Famine, and . Co.; are re.spon sible for this; the end is hidden from us ; -a few days will bring better or worse events to pass. We are at a stand, and so I am writing to my friends to let them know our position. It - is said Yorkshire is also dis turbed ; if so, I fear we shall have bad days, for a time at least." The Paris papers of Wednesday have reached us, but they contain no news of importance. The fol lowing are the only extracts worthy of notice : The Moniteur of the 10th of August has no official part. There was a meeting of the Family Council yesterday at Neuilly, at which the Chancellor, President of the Chamber of Peers, presided- It consisted of the Duke de Nemours and the Prince 'de Joinville, the President of the Court of Cassation, - and the President of the Court. of Accounts, and of M. Carchy, Secretary keeper of the Registers of the Chamber of Peers. The Regency 13ill will be examined to-morrow in the bureaux of the Chamber. It is generally believed. that the Chamber will have finished all the buSiness before them before the end of this month, and that the Council General of the Department may meet between the sth and the 10th of September. In all probability M. Dupin will be appointed Reporter on the Regency Bill.—Le Constitutionnel, Aug. 10. .The Infant Don Francisco de Paula, with his whole family, arrived at St. Sebastian on the 4th, at 10 o'clock at night. Notwithstanding, the lateness of the hour, their Royal Highnesses were received with all the honours due to: their rank. , Tile; guns, of .the fortress fired - the usual Salute. General San Aliguel ticcoMpanied their Royal Highnesses. • The Pieria says that his Royal Highness, after taking the waters, intends to make excursions into different parts of the, interior.of the kingdom. We rind the following paragraph in the Memorial Bordelais of the Bth :—" As a proof of the favourable sentiments which the Court of Madrid at present enter tain with respect to the French alliance, we learn from Madrid that M. de Olozaga, Plenipotentiary *of her Catholic.Majeaty toefaris, who was going on leave of absence to Andalusia, had delayed his departure, it is said by order of the Government, that he may shortly return to his post, which he quitted last year in conse— quence .of diplomatic differences between the two Courts." '1 he Toulon Journal says that " the departure of Admiral Hugon is again rut oft; it is said till Monday next." 11' c learn that the CalypSo frigate, which has sailed fur Brest, is.to go to the Brazils, and remain on that'station.—Le commerce, Aug. 10.

Near Otienburg, about thirty feet below the surface, in a bed of marl, were found por-, Lions of the skeleton of n mammoth, or antediluvian ele phant. They consist chiefly of a masticator, nearly per tect, and of two molar teeth, larger than any that have hitherto been found in the valley of the Rhine. Each of these is thirteen inches in length, and weighs nearly eleven pounds. At the same time were turned up,a great number of teeth belonging to a species of the horse, which must have been an inhabitant of the valley in the same remote ages as the mammoth. FATAL DUEL.—The Journal des Debats states that two rithcers of the 17th Light I n f antry , comman d e d b y the Duke d'Aunitile, fought a duel with swords in the Buis de Boulogne, at six o'clock on Sunday morning, when one of them was mortally wounded. Some gens dartnes on duty, seeing the officers proceeding silently to a remote part of the wood, followed them, but having lost sight of them, they were too late. to prevent the ca . - larnitous consequence. They found the two seconds en deavouring to assist their unfortunate comrade. They took their names and forwarded a report to the compe tent authorities. • If a man can't sleep, let him lie on his back in the open air, and undertake t o count the star*.

The two Houses of Parliament were yesterday pro rogued by her Majesty in person. Her Majesty was heartily cheered on her way to perform the office. Prior to reading the Speech, the Royal Assent was given to several Bills, including the last Bill of Supply for the session, which the Speaker presented, and accompanied the presentation with a view of the labours of the Com mons. The two Houses were prorogued till October 6. Before the House of Commons was summoned to the House of Lords, an interesting discussion on a variety of topics took place. Mr. T. buncombe began it by asking a question relative to correspondence 'which had taken place between Sir J. Graham and the ToWn-clerk of Bridport. Sir James, it appears, has not enough to do in rehearing in private the cases of gentlemen who are publicly condemned, and in pardoning them, and in attending. to all the multifarious duties of his office, he undertakes to judge of the language used at all public meetings, and inquires minutely into the words of the Rev. J. Spence, at Bridport, which appears not to have been satisfactory to him. For the avowed interference with the freedom of discussion, Sir James was deservedly taken to task by Me. HaWes, Mr. Hume, and Sir T. Wild, but he said no taunts should deter him from at•' tempting to prevent a breach of the peace, which he sup poses, like Mr. Mallalieu, at Deptford, may come from speaking truth of the aristocracy. Another topic, worthy of notice, was the state of Manchester, which was adverted to by Mr. Hume, but nothing was eliCited from Sir R. Pee!, more than unmeaning praises of his own tariff—a renewed and received assertion that legis lation cannot cure the evils which legislation causes. In the midst of the discussion on the subject, the House was summoned, by the Usher of the Black Rod, : to the House of Lords---they want, returned, and separated, and there is a cessation "of legislatiOn, thank God ! for a season. monmv4l.lt.a.nm-comivizst.cm.

She has made a good voyage of 17 days, and has 23 cabin passengers. We find with great pleasure, that the full and satisfactory settlement of the Fv Nth Eastern Boun dary Question is announced in these papers. The following is from the New York Herald : THE MAINE BOUNDARY QUESTION LIKELY TO BE SETTLED. We have now direct and important intelligence from Washington, that this long dispn'ted, difficult, and dis agreeable question, is now very nearly, if not itne.lly settled. The result of the negotiations is - this :—The United States commence the line at the head lake of the St. Croix river, run it directly north-t 6 Mars fill, thence due north, till it strikes the St. John's river, at a point a few miles above the Great Falls. We then run the line along the course of the St. John's river. until it meets the St. Francis river.. The line then runs up the St. Francis until it reaches the southern outlet of the upper lake on the St. Traneis. This is the most northerly point of the line. The line then runs south-west and by south for 100 . miles in a straight line, at a distance of 25 feet from the base of the mountains skirting the St. Lawrence river, until it strikes the N. W.-branch of the riser St. John. It then runs due south for about 30 miles,Until it strikes the S. W. branch of the St. John's river ; after his. it follows the course of that branch up to its sourac . in the mountains, close to the 'source of the PenobScot and Metgarmettc riiers, and terminates at the precise point Where the south-westerly termination of the three lines previously drawn by the United States, Great Bri tain, and the King of the Netherlands, were made to tzrininate. The line, in short, varies scarcely a mile either way froM that laid clown on our, mai) as the line defined by the King •of the Netherlands. . The tract which we have given on, the north-eastern border•ot Maine is valuable to Great Britain, as strengthening her militarrpo - 4tion, hut is not of much importance to.us. . The extent of the territory can be easily seen from the map. The General Government are to reimburse Maine for her expenses in defending .the. disputed territory, and Massachusetts is to receive nO,OOO dollars from the United States for her portion of the land which is to he given up. • We get Rouse's Point on Lake Champlain, and the navigation of St. john's River above the Falls ; but, as we have no access to them below the Falls, the free naviga , tion of that river under these circumstances, is worth but little. Lord Ashburton, Mr. Webster, and the Massachusetts Commissioners have ail agreed to this arranget444 The Maine Commissioners liave only partially yielded ; they wish to avoid responsibility, and'are willing to let this treaty be decided by the U. Senate. The locofocos are opposed to this treaty, whether from part, or patriotic motives, we shall see in a few days. Business is much the same as at the last departure, and the rate of exchange without alteration. SALES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE. 10 Bk of Corn full 80 100 Ditto scrip l)6od 90 55 U. S.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The Money Market has exhibited an unpleasant feel ing during the whole day, consequent upon the accounts from the manufacturing districts. Merchants at Man chester represent themselves to have been unable to reach the Exchange, during the ordinary hours of business, to transact their usual inatters e in consequence of the ob . stnictions ; hut by the second delivery, the lettees sip- - pear to convey the impression that the disturbance is, more to be considered in the light of a dispute between masters and men, than arising- from any more serious erase. It would appear, from the general tenour •of these communications, that' it was probable that the differences would be shortly arranged ; but it is not attempted to be concealed, that much matter remains behind for serious consideration. Some excitement, more than Ordinary, was exhibited to have a copy of the Royal Speech. Within a very few minutes after it was spoken, the Second Edition of 7he Sun was delivered in the City, which created much attention, not only from the • extraordinary dispatch --• .- - - ' ' 7 LITERATURE, • which must have been used, but from the con- RITTMEISTE n'S BUDGET. . rots: tents.

' Mercantile letters received this morning from Man chester, contain very gloomy accounts. Business is said to be almost wholly suspended e and that scarcely a mill was at work, and such as were, were obliged to be strongly ,guarded. . Fears were entertained that the move ment, which at first was supposed •to be but a dis pute ;between the workmen and their . employers, is of a more serious nature, and connected in some way with the outbreaks in other parts of the country. Meanwhile it is stated that • although a large mili tary force prevents much open violence, no remedy has been, or apparently can be, de vised for effectually suppressing it. These proceed ings are the more to be regretted, from the circumstance of having occurred just at a period - when an improt ed state of trade wail apparent. The letters state that several orders had bean received' from the Continent, as well as by the last mail from India, the execution of which must now be stopped, to the serious loss both of masters and men, neither of Whom, from the late de pression, can afford to suffer it.

New .-"lrork,- on a wager of one thoune'r The animals selected to pull al . .fainst him were a pair' of large sized Pen ns ylvania bred horses, that are in the daily habit of drawing from- two to three tons of granite at a load, suspended from an enormous truck used for that purpose. Paul, after I firing the cannon, weighing 40011 n, f rom hi s s h ou ld ers, and ascending the fireman's rope feet uppermost to the flies, by means of his hands alone, and other Herein lean fiats, proceed to place himself horizontally upen a strong ladder, made for the purpose, In order to make the grand effort. The horses were led on 'II their regular driver, and harnessed to a rope fastsd to Paul's feet. To this rope was attached thret, broad rihands or girths, one of which was (le a " tightly over his loins, and the others. over each sLoulder. The brace, afforded by his feet against the step of the ladd er , th e di v id e d power; of the girths; his hold with both hands upon the upper part of • the ladder, constituted his only resistance to the immense power • he had to contend against. Paul's body, when thus disposed, resembled that . of a Tinirgaeter ' - upon" the . iniplisitoilaT rack, preparatOry to being torn to pieces. When the colos.sal horses were brought upon the stage and attached to the feet of the intrepid performer, A sensation of horror seeine+to pervade every part of the • h ouse . I t was. - deemed certain by those having charge of the horses that he would be drawl) off the ladder. The word. was given —the harness straightened_ the ladder creaked and strained—the two ropes by which gne end of it was secured to the stage stretched and threatened to break; the horses, aided by a plat form upon the stage with cleats to brace their feet, strained every muscle and vein--the well-known voice of the driver—the lash repeated .again and again, all failed to force the enduring champion from his hold. The shouts of the audience—the waving of handkerehiotl; and the withdrawal of the horses, proclaimed his triumph. Paul offered to repeat the perforMance and to resist with one hand and one foot, but the manager very properly would not permit it. The audience were satisfied with what they lia4 Wu, that Paul is beyond all question the most Powerful man in existence. In order to con " 4" the Pubite that there was no trick or deception in this extraordinary exhibition, Mr. Hamblin invited a portion of the audience behind the scenes to wit- i nest the preparations, and examine everything con nected 'with liorfbrnianee. Mr. Paul takes his. beneAt th4 . eVening, and pulls against foor horses, be sides introducing a variety of other new feats.
