BURNING OF THE GEORGIA. Within the last two or three days further accounts have been received relating to the loss of the ship Georgia, belonging to London, which, it will be re collected, was destroyed by fire while on her home ward voyage from Calcutta, and of the safety of• her commander, Captain Mitchell, and five of the crew, who were reported to have perished with the unfor tunate vessel. The following statement of Captain Mitchell, which has just been received by the owners of the ship, detailing the sufferings of himself and crew, will be found to be somewhat interesting:— " Algoa Bay, April 1, 1842. Gentlemen,—On the Ist of last month, when about 1,000 miles from the I Cape of Good Hope, and 300 from the nearest land, we discovered the cargo of the Georgia to be on fire. We immediately tried to the utmost in our power to extinguish it by throwing water down amongst that portion of the cargo where the flames ap peared to have a hold, but to no use. I then caused all the hatchways to he closely battened down, which continued so for seven or eight hours, and the fire apparently wa s b e i ng smo th ere d, when the ship Thomas Sparks, on the pas sage to London, came up to us. I hailed the com mander, Captain Sparks, requesting him to stop by us all night, as the ship was on fire, but he refused to answer without I came on board of his ship, which I did, taking with me in the long-boat five of the crew. Upon Captain Sparks ascertaining the circum stances which I related to him, he agreed to stop by the ship and render all the assistance he possibly could. I then left him for the purpose of returning to my own ship. When within a short distance of her she appeared to make sail and follow Captain Sparks's vessel, who had hoisted a light and gone ahead. I, together with those in the boat, shouted with all our might, but was unable to make them hear, and they pursued their course. I think my mate, whom I had left on board, must have mistaken the light which was hoisted by Captain Sparks as a signal that I was koin g to remain some time on board of her, and that he was to follow ; at least I cannot form any other idea for his so unaccountably leaving us. By great exertions at the oars we kept sight of both vessels' lights for two hours, when we lost sight of them in the distance. I kept in the same direction, or as near as I possibly could, as the ships were steering till noon the following day, when, F lying up all hopes of falling in with them and hav ing no water or provisions except a few pumpkins which providentially happened to be in the boat, I made for the land, making a sail of our shirts, and steering by the sun and stars. On the fifth day we made the land, and on reaching it searched for water, which we happily succeeded in obtaining, but not being able to get a supply of provisions from the wird natives we were compelled to put to sea again, in tending on starting to coast it to this place. How ever, on the seventh day we were overtaken by a storm and were necessitated to make for shore ; when within half a mile, and the sea running high, the boat filled and turned over. After a long struggle I was was washed on shore on one of the oars. Three of the crew clung to the sunken boat, which kept turning over every wave, and one saved himself by swimming. Providentially all of them reached the beach in safety, though greatly exhausted. Alter travelling fifty miles barefooted, we got conducted to a Wesleyan missionary station, where we met with very kind attention. I arrived here to-day, having tra velled twenty days in a Government waggon, which was returning from Natal. I expect to get a vessel in two days bound to the Cape, where I shall get a vessel for England. The fate of the Georgia I am at a loss to conjecture. When I left her the fire had all the appearance of being under. Had she put into the Cape there would be accounts of it. You will know before the receipt of this. Yours respect fully, WALTER MITCHELL." - The ship Thomas Sparks arrived at St. Katharine's Docks about three weeks since, having on board the remainder of the crew of the Georgia. The fire was confined beneath her decks till the second day after the Thomas Sparks coming up, when it broke forth and speedily consumed the vessel. Mrs. Mitchell, the wife of Captain Mit chell, ttgether with two of the seamen's wives, sup posing their husbands had been lost with the ship, as was reported, went into deep mourning, which they continued till Wednesday last, when the gratifying in telligence was brought to them of their safe preserva tion. They are at present residing at Shields. The vessel's loss is estimated at 8,0001. The BUDGET, No. VIII.

Gallois, a wood-merchant from the country, was passing, the night before last, across the Place du Carrousel, he was accosted by a well-dressed person, who politely asked him what o'clock it was. M. Gal lois, unaccustomed to the tricks of Paris, immediately drew out his watch, and was stooping under a lamp to ascertain the hour, when he was felled to the ground by two blows on the back of his head. When he re covered the thief had fled, having rifled him of hia watch and 145 francs. A soldier named Janot, of the 68th Regiment of the line, was yesterday tried before a court-martial, for attempting to stab his officer with his bayonet, under the following circumstances :—Captain Vedel having put Janot under arrest for appearing in an improper state of dress on parade, the soldier vowed vengeance. On Sunday, Bth instant, while the Cap tain was attending the Lieutenant-Colonel on his in spection of the regiment, in the barracks of Bonne Nouvelle, Janot, who was in the third rank, made a lunge at the Captain with his bayonet, but for tunately only wounded him in the hand. The facts being fully proved, Janot was declared guilty, and received sentence of death. THEATRE-ROYAL, ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. THIS EVENING, JULY 1.

Captain Walters, of the ship William Canynges, arrived at Bristol on Monday last, the 27th instant, from Cape Coast Castle (west coast of Africa), which place he left on the 22d of .\larch, brings some interesting information respecting the Niger expedition. The following is an extract from Captain Walters's Report : The William Canynges sailed from Cape Coast Castle on the 22d of March. At Cape Coast Castle were her Majesty's ship Madagascar and the steampacket Wilberforce attached to the Niger expedition. This vessel (Wilberforce) arrived on the 20th of March from the island of Ascension, on her way to Fernando Po, whence she was to proceed, in company with the Soudan steamer, on a second attempt to ascend the Niger. With the exception of one case of dysentery, all on board the Wilberforce w ere in tolerable health. " The Wilberforce brought accounts from the island of As cension as late as March 10. At that time the island was healthy, and most of the invalids from the Niger expedition had sufficiently recovered from fever to allow of their being in valided to return to England. One death had occurred among them while in hospital at Ascension. The Albert remained at Ascension, undergoing a refit. " The Gold Coast had been visited lately by a swarm of locusts, which had done much damage among the corn, &c. " The Ashantee mission had been established under favour able circumstances, and the two princes, Quantamissah and Ausah, were residing with the Rev. Mr. Brooking, at Coo massie. Captain Stanley, late 2d West India Regiment, and Lieut. Fairholme, invalided from the Soudan, passengers (per the William Canynges), from Cape Coast." Captain Walters deserves the thanks of the public for the above valuable extract from his report. THE PENNY POSTAGE.—It is a fact appearing from returns to Parliament lately printed, that the postage revenue for January, 1842 (100,3831.), under the penny rate, equalled within 3 per cent., that for January, 1840 (103,6231.), under the fourpenny rate. At the Court of Assizes of the Loire-Inferieure, on June 14, 15, and 16, Julien Lebreton, whose arrest we an nounced in the Messenger of May 16th, was tried for the mur der of a woman named Leger, and her grand-daughter Auguste Laudin, a child of six years of age, on May 6. The case rested principally on circumstantial evidence, such as the prisoner having been in great want previously to the murder, and being in possession of several hundred francs the day after—his having been seen with some articles which had been taken from the house of the murdered woman—and lastly his having sold at a jeweller's, at Nantes, four old six-franc pieces which had belonged to the deceased. The prisoner behaved during the three days' trial with extraordinary coolness, assigning plausible reasons for each circumstance advanced against him. The Jury found him guilty of murder with premeditation, and the Court sentenced him to the punishment of death. A weaver, named Girard, residing at Besse (Var), who had been in the habit of getting drunk, and beating his wife, in consequence of which ill-treatment she had left him for about three weeks, went to her, a few days since, as she was washing clothes at the river, and threw her in, in spite of the remonstrances of two other women who were present. He then flung stones at her, and, when he thought she was dead, endeavoured to abscond. He was arrested, however, half an hour afterwards, and, so far from denying his act, ap ; • peered to glory in it , exclaiming " I want to be guillotined He was taken for the moment to the prison at Pignans, in order to be transferred to Brignoles the next day. When the gen darmes came to take him, they found him dead. lie had made a sort of cord of his trousers and three pocket-handkerchiefs, which he had fastened to the bars of the window, and, by me n. of this apriratus, had hanged himself. The woman, though much injured, is likely to survive. traTA um ENT OF HATS.—On Tuesday last, amongst the various articles exhibited in our market, was one of so ex traordinary a nature as to draw hundreds of spectators, viz., a waggon-load of rats' tails, or to be more definitive in the de scription, forty-three bushels of rats' tails ! A question natu rally arises, what were they there for? Simply to corroborate facts. A noted rat-catcher, well known to our nnmerous agri cultural readers, whose veracity was long disputed, respecting the number of rats said to be caught by him, hit on the fol lowing novel mode of certifying his statements, to preserve the tail of every rat he destroyed, and in a f‘w years he has collected the above quantity, which, with thirty perfectly white rats, he exhibits at a charge of a penny or twopence, accord ing to his customers' apparent resources. This very useful member of society has, by the profits of his trade, added the name of Farmer to that of Rat-catcher, and after the " season" is over, enjoys his otiurn cunt dignitate by his farm fireside.

The motion which Mr. WALLACE is to bring on this evening, relative to the condition of the country, is in the present circumstances extremely important. We be lieve it will come on early, immediately after Lord JouN RUSSELL'S Bribery Bill has been disposed of. The Liberal Members will no doubt feel it their duty to attend and speak on the question. Frym all the information which reaches us, we conclude that the manufacturing districts are daily getting worse and worse. Too soon measures cannot be adopted to avert the calamity that is impending over the country ; immediately to relieve distress is now, we are afraid, beyond human power. Those Members assuredly will neglect their duty who fail to attend, and who do not in an earnest and solemn manner throw the responsibility of the present and future condition of the country off their own shoulders, and place it on the shoulders of Sir R. PEEL. A meeting of Members of Parliament with the De putation from the Manufacturing Districts took place yesterday, at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, to make the Members acquainted with the condition of those districts, and consult what is to be done in the present alarming crisis. The statements made by Mr. H. STA NS-. FIELD of the condition of the town and neighbour hood of Leeds, in which 40,000 persons are in a state of destitution, and require assistance, and which re presents the condition of the bulk of Yorkshire and Lancashire, were truly appalling. That condition, however, is far better known than the means of re medying it. It has been of late so frequently described that persons have almost ceased, we are afraid, to think it worthy of notice. At any rate it no longer makes the impression it ought on the public, and we rather turn to the remedy than again dwell on a disease, the long continuance of which has made the public think too little of it. adopted, might bring the landlords to a sense of jus tice. As long as their avowed wrong is acquiesced in they will never want reasons to show that it is expedient. Men are bound to pay taxes for the sup port of the State ; there is no moral obligation on them to pay protecting and discriminating duties ; and, till these be abolished, all taxation, in any way mixed with them, is in danger of being resisted. The General Shipowners Society, have informed the public that they are by no means pleased with Sir R. PEEL. This is to be considered as another defection from his ranks, because that body belongs to the mono polists, and in general supported the Tories, in the ex pectation that they would maintain the protective prin ciple. They say — The Report presented by your Committee at the last annual general meeting was addressed to the shipowners of the United Kingdom at a moment at which the great question was about to be submitted to the test of a general election, whether the commerce and navigation of the country were hereafter to be conducted on the principle of protection for which the Commit tee had ever contended, and were then struggling ; or in ac cordance with the theories of free trade, to which they have ever been opposed. Since that period the doctrines hitherto repudiated by the advocates of the shipping interest have been embraced, or supported, or feebly opposed by the friends on whom the shipowners have relied, and changes are in progress of which it would be weak and uncandid were the Cemmittee not to express their conviction that they are fraught with the most alarming consequences to British maritime commerce, which, by the infatuation of legislation, appears to be doomed to decay. . . They also say that the speech at the opening of the session was of " ominous indication," that many of the re solutions moved by Mr. GLADSTONE on the Colonial Cus toms Duties were '° calculated to inflict serious injury on the British carrying trade." They represented this to Mr. GLADSTONE, and then the general views expressed by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, excited in their minds serious apprehensions of what was coming. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff, they declare, contains — In almost every page propositions for changes unfavourable to British navigation, some of them of a character and extent cal culated deeply to injure, if not entirely to destroy, important branches of the carrying trade • and almost all opposed, in the opinion of your Committee, to the protective principle on which the maintenance of British maritime commerce depends. In consequence of these views, they formed, it ap pears, a combined plan of operations to oppose the tariff, particularly that part of it which abolishes a pro tecting duty of 455. for Canadian timber. The old law enabled them to send their vesselS in ballast across the Atlantic, and they found ample payment in the freight home for the expense of the two voyages. But they were not successful, and their explanation why they were not, confirms Sir RICHARD VYVYAN'S statement of the man ner in which Members have been coerced into voting for Sir R. PEEL. Throughout our communications (they say) vie sedulously endeavoured to restrict our arguments to proving that the actual effect of the measures we deprecated would be different from that anticipated by Sir Robert Peel, and it only remains for us to express our deep regret, that in matters of navigation the opinions of practical shipowners should be deemed entitled to so little weight. The succeeding steps on these all important measures have from time to time been presented to the public through the ordinary channels of Parliamentary information. Throughout their progress the proceedings have been marked by a character which, as it is without precedent, the Committee hope will re main without a parallel. The case of the shipowners appears but to have afforded an illustration of the position of every great interest of the nation during the diseussions on the tariff. The remonstrances addressed to Ministers and to Parliament have passed alike unheeded ; the exertions of the friends on whose steady support the shipowners have been accustomed to rely have been paralysed by political considerations, and by the ano malous position in which party connections have placed them ; discussion has been unavailing, and even impracticable • and changes affecting in vital degrees the best interests of British navigation have been sanctioned by the House of Commons with as little apparent consideration as if they had constituted part of the most ordinary matter of official routine. " Conduct without precedent," which the ship-owners " hope may be without parallel," deserted by their friends, just as the Tories have also deserted their Anti- Poor-law pledges, " considerations of justice overruled by what is due to party," such are some of the features which the shipowners find in the " friends on whom they had relied." The shipowners, like other Tories, are for saking their chosen but faithless chief. Sir R. PEEL is fast losing the support of his own friends, while his mea sures do not command the cordial approbation of the other party. At present, he is a necessity for all parties. There could be no Government were he to break up his administration ; but as parties et sifted and tossed into fresh places, this necessity will disappear. Sir R. PEEL'S power, which is at present completely dictatorial, will then disappear too. He is routing and offending the monopolists, but he is not winning the free-traders. He is destroying all parties but the Chartists, and seems pre paring the way for a political anarchy. The Great Western steam-ship, Captain Hosken, ar rived at Bristol on Wednesday, having made the passage from New York in twelve days and as many hours. She brings news from New York to the evening of the 16th ult., being, however, only some six hours later than the intelligence brought by the Columbia, via Liverpool. An evening edition of the New York Herald, states that the Commissioners appointed on the part of Massa chusetts, Maine, and New Brunswick, to settle the North Eastern Boundary, were assembled in Washing ton, and that, from information derived from an authen tic source, the writer had reason to believe that all points at issue between Great Britain and the United States would be amicably and speedily adjusted. We sincerely hope so. Lord ASHBURTON'S instructions are, we be lieve, exceedingly liberal, and since his arrival in Wash ington the amenity of his deportment has obtained for him the personal esteem of men of all parties in Con gress. The Federal and British Governments are sin cere in their desire to settle all differences in the most friendly manner, and but for the obstinacy of the people of Maine, the negotiations would be concluded and the boundary fixed in a week. There will be some difficulty about the Caroline steamer, as the trial of WLEon proves that the American Executive has decided judicially that she was not a pirate. Respecting the Creole case we do not see how the Federal Government can dream of enforcing the law of a slave State beyond the boundary, and out of the jurisdiction of that State. The Journals most violent upon these topics have assumed a moderation of tone which shows the prevalence of a growing friendly feeling towards this country, which is very gratifying. We have received the whole of the French Journals. The despatches from Africa fill eight columns of the Moniteur, but we have given the substance of them in a paragraph, in our Foreign Summary. The Royal ordonnance for imposing an additional itr port duty of 20 per cent, on linen and linen thread, has secured the election of seve ral previously doubtful Government candidates. The affair of the French African trader, the Deux Sceurs, searched by the British frigate Madagascar, is engaging the earnest attention of the French Govern ment. The captain of the corvette commanding on the Senegal station, to whom the outrage was first reported, having arrived at Brest, was summoned to Paris, where he had a long conference with M. GUIZOT and the Minister of Marine. There is little doubt that explanations will be demanded, which we trust our Go vernment will be prepared to make in a satisfactory manner. Unless a different plan is adopted for carrying ont this right of search, it is very clear that it will involve us in endless disputes with all our neighbours. As now con ducted it is intolerable, and we are surprised at no resist ance offered to it. Why, we repeat for the twentieth time, not have French officers on board our frigates to search French vessels ? They would acquire a knowledge of our seamanship, we grant ; but what is that when weighed against the perils of a war between France and England ? In its second edition the Commerce states that the Tribu nal of Bilbao had passed judgment on several individuals concerned in the insurrection of last October; twenty are sentenced to death, and twelve to the galleys. Among the former are the Alcade of Bilbao, a judge of one of the courts, the Colonel of Militia, M. Benavides, a deputy, and M. Bastereche, a banker. Among the latter are General Iriarte, and M. Galiano, ex-Minister of State. Luckily, however, all these persons are safe in foreign countries. BO U itbk...—PARIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 28. The remedies proposed all centered in getting rid of the Corn-laws, but the practical question is how can that now be accomplished. There appears to be no hope nor means of accomplishing it. The Parlia ment has placed itself in a false petition by passing Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Bill, and will not undo its own bad work. It was proposed to move in the House of Commons that the Deputation be heard at the bar ; it was proposed to stop the remaining supplies till the Government relieve the people ; it was proposed to bombard the House with cer tain resolutions and propositions, which shall induce the house to take the subject into its earnest consideration.' What will be done, we know not ; but we are quite sure that there is no way of influencing the Parliament so certain, as by ap pealing to its fears. As long as gentlemen of the House of Commons are afraid, in a good cause, of being called factious —as long as gentlemen out of doors profess a most dutiful resignation to whatever the landlords in Parliament decree, so long will the landlords give to their will the guise of law, and so long will they plunder and destroy the towns-people by the consent of the latter. They must be opposed, not honoured ; and we have heard, we own with satisfac tion, that in several of the manufacturing towns the people have declared that they neither can nor will pay the Income-tax. Late as it is to influence the Parliament this session, we are convinced that a new face would immediately be put on things were the Anti-Corn-law League now solemnly to declare that all protecting and discriminating duties are a f_ grant violation of right, and ought to be resisted. Such a re _ solution would go to vitiate the bulk of the taxes, which are mixed up with discriminating duties, and, were it First Highest Lowest I.sst Price Price. Pric.. Pric, .

THE GERMAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN.—SO de lighted was her Majesty with the performance of the Huguenots at this house on Monday evening, that she has been graciously pleased to command a repetition of it this evening, when, accompanied by her illustrious Consort and the King and Queen of the Belgians, her Majesty will again honour the German Opera with her presence. Several Foreign Ambassadors, and such of the Nobility as are in attendance upon the Court, will be pre sent, so that the house will be crowded with the highest rank and fashion in the land. The German company is richly deserving of the most extensive public support, and we trust that it will receive it. Mr. Schloss's ex cellent translation of the Huguenots will enable the English play-goer to enjoy all the beauties of the Opera, and appreciate the richness of the performance without any acquaintance with the German language. THE MARCHIONESS OF WATERFORD.—We are happy to announce that the interesting and accomplished Mar chioness of Waterford is pronounced out of danger. We have received this gratifying intelligence from a source on which we can rely. We are glad to bear testimony that the British public are supporting British ships in earnest ; this is as it should be. The General Steam Navigation Company's favourite steam-ship Rainbow, Captain J. Fife, left the Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, yesterday, for Antwerp, with a cheering number of passengers. Several families of distinction were on board, among wl om we could ob serve his Grace the Archbishop of 'ruam and his family, Major Mackinlay, and the Rev. 'l'. Bourdier. The Wilberforce (British ship) had arrived previously from Antwerp, having had an excellent passage of only 171 hours. Antwerp, June 27.—The Wilberforce arrived from London in 17 hours. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND public Opinion. " Who runs may read." POEZXGN. Despatches receiveCibrtlTePiench Government, state that the French garrison of Miliaria, in the interior of Algeria, has suffered a severe check. About 500 French went to ravage the territory of the Mahildouar. Not a house, nor a village, says Major Bissun, who commanded, escaped the flames ; 6,000 oxen, 12,000 sheep, 100 pri• soners, and a number of mules,/aden with the richest effects, were taken. The Arabs, visited by this wholesale act of robbery and destruction, to the number of 2,000, attacked the French, closing man to man. The combat lasted half an hour, and the French commander says he never found enemies so inveterate. The Arabs gave them at length some respite, when the French retreated. The Arabs of course pursued, and succeeded in rescuing their flocks, though the mules laden with the household wealth were brought away by the French in triumph. This of iir has been attended .with the loss of two cap tains, three lieutenants, four sub-lieutenants, four corpo- rals, and thirty rank and file, with two officers and seve ral non-commissioned officers and privates wounded. Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, returned with his family to Paris on Satuday night, after an ab sence on leave for eight months. On Sunday he visited the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards went to the King and Royal family at Neuilly, where he passed the day. A correspondent of the National at Toulon, in a hasty postscript, to a letter with Levant and port news of no interest, says—" A telegraphic dispatch arrived here this evening (the date is not given), recalling the Prince de Joinville to the Tuileries. Orders have been given to the steamer Sphinx to go after the squadron and bring back the captain of the Belle Poule. We are-lost in conjectures as to the cause of this sudden recal." The Gazette de Madrid of the 21st of June says that the Government is desirous that justice and firmness should preside over all the acts of the ne.v Ministry. This idea may be summed up in three points—fidelity to the Constitution, probity in administration, and the legi timate consequences of the Ist of September. The Con stitution sworo to represent the three principles of the Spanish monarchy—the throne of Isabella 11., a repre sentative Government, and the Catholic religion. Pro bity will be the base of all the acts of the Government, which will be true to the highest morality. A strict publicity—a rigorous vigilance over those employed— such will be the Minister's device. This is all too good to be true. "Fine words butter no parsnips." The following account of the movement of the port of Odessa is given in a German journal :—From Nov. 1, 1841, to April 30, 1842, there arrived at Odessa 96 English vessels, 63 Austrian, 54 Russian, 30 Sardinian, 25 Greek, 10 lonian, 8 Sicilian, 6 Belgian, 4 Turkish, 2 Sautiot, 1 French,. 1 Tuscan, 1 Dutch, and 1 Wal lachia'', in all 302 vessels, 167 with lading, and 135 in ballast, giving a tonnage of 79,751 tons. The depar tures were 82 English vessels, 48 Russian, 40 Austrian, 27 Greek, 21 Sardinian, 12 lonian, 6 Belgian, 4 Turkish, 2 Sicilian, 2 Dutch, 1 French, 1 Tuscan, 1 Prussian, 1 Samiot, and 1 Wallachian, making a total of 249 ves sels, 205 with lading, and 44 in ballast, representing a capacity of 70,180 tuns. A letter of the - 11th ultimo, from Belgrade, quoted by the . Leipsic Gazette, says—" The Ottoman Govern ment has decided that, in future, the Rajahs of the pro vinces shall receive their letters and remittances, which have hitherto been sent through the Austrian post, only by the Turkish post. Now, as the mail for >eres and Salonica leaves Constantinople only twice a-week, and as that by Bulgaria is not yet organised, it may be easily seen what a severe stroke trade and commerce must re ceive from this resolution. Besides, the Rajahs are se mistrustful and apprehensive, that they will not confide either their letters or their money to the Turkish post, and hope that the Austrian Ambassador will interpose in their favour." _ The Austrian Observer states, under its Constanti nople head, that the last news from Trebizond an nounced that Sir H. M'Neil, Britannic Envoy at the Court of Persia, was performing quarantke in that town, and that he reckoned setting out for Constantinople on the Bth instant. The Prussian State Gazette of the 23d ult. publishes an order of the day of the Russian Minister of War, dated St. Petersburgh, the 15th, giving rather a pom pous account of an unimport an t a ff a i r b e t wee n 200 Cossacks and some Circassians at Chapazai, in which the latter were defeated, and lost two pieces of cannon. The same order of the day relates another affair, in which the Russians took a small fort of two guns. PARIMILMENTAILY. • The so-called Royal Assent, meaning the assent of the Mi nisters, was given last night to a whole batch of Bills, which were thus at once converted lute solemn laws. The Customs' Bill or Tariff was brought 4 from the Com mons, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday next. The Earl of Mountcashel brought the condition of the immi grants into Canada under their Lordships' notice. He said that 6,000 had gone thither from the United States and 17,000 from England and Ireland. They would only find employment on public works, and were likely to be in great distress. The Duke of Wellington was not prepared to give the Noble Earl any information on the subject. In the course of a short debate on the second reading of the Corporations (Ireland) Bill, Lord Campbell adverted to the hasty and improper manner in which the Justices Jurisdiction Bill had been carried through before the usual hours of busi ness, hut obtained no satisfactory explanation. The Corpora tions Bill was passed through all its stages, the Standing Orders having been suspended. Several petitions were presented on the state of the country, and against hurrying through the Collieries Bill. Lord Brougham gave notice that he would on Monday week, bring the distress of the country under their Lordships' consideration. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the Commons, Sir R. Peel laid on the table the breviates of the ratified treaties with Texas, and in answer to Mr. O'Connell, said that Texas had not established an efficient blockade on the west coast of Mexico. Mr. Hawes complained of the great additional duty levied on cement-stone under the new tariff, and Air. Gladstone said the subject should receive further attention. In answer to Colonel Verner, Lord Eliot stated that the Government had not any intention of increasing the grant to Maynooth ; and Sir R. Peel cautioned the world not to believe the stories about a dispute in the Irish Government. In rerly to Mr. Wallace, Sir R. Peel said he did not mean to alter the standard of silver. In reply to Mr. M. Alilnes Sir R. Peel said he had h ear d nothing official of the proposed new duties to be levied in the German League on woollens. He had some conversation on the subject with the Prussian Minister, and he hoped the report was unfounded. He would not, however, answer for the future. Lord Mahon brought the state of the drama under the notice of the House, and complained of its condition. He merely moved for memorialspresented to the Secretary of State on the subject, which were ordered. Mr. Gaily Knight moved for certain ukases issued by the Emperor of Russia, and brought the state of Poland under the notice of the House. He was seconded by Sir F. Burdett, and a strong opinion favourable to restoring the nationality of that country was expressed by Mr. Hume, Mr. Milnes, Mr. P. I M. Stewart, and others. 6':r Robert Peel spoke feelingly and justly on the subject, deprecating all violent language, but expressing an opinion that the Emperor of Russia would do well to ameliorate the condition of the Poles. The motion was agreed to. Sir. Cowper called the attention of the House to the hospital schools at Greenwich, and made a long statement relative to the education in them, which seems to be most deplorable. Of 50 boys, 15 could neither read nor write, though there was a clergyman at the head of the school. A short discusssion ensued as to the authority in whose hands the inspection of the school should be placed, but in the end Sir. Cowper'withdrew his resolution. Viscount Clements afterwards drew the attention of the House to a local subject, the administration of the Grand Jury Laws of the county of Donegal. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o''Clock. PUFLIAC OPINION. The expressions of the Prime Minister in the late debate on A ffgliani s t an , w i t h regar d to th e i r b ear i ng on R uss i a , are viewed i n t h e f o l low i ng l i g h t b y t h e M orn i ng H er ald : —" Si r Robert P ee l h onestly d eclares t h a t h e believes that Russia does now supp or t E ng l an d i n A s i a .

( 5 paid) DREADFUL FIRE IN BERMOND SEY-WALK. At three yesterday morning a most destructive fire broke out on the premises belonging to Mr. Barnsey, a plumber and painter, situated at No. 13, Bermondsey. walk: The fire was discovered by police-constable 31erratt, No. 222, who found the back of the premises in a blaze, and immediately aroused the family. The rapid spread of the flames soon extended to Messrs. Cotton and Owst's, hoop-binders, on whose premises were deposited many thousands of hoops, and, impelled by the strong wind blowing at the time, the fire caught and totally de stroyed the following houses : No. 12, Bermondsey-walk, belonging to Mr. Mansell, che mist, &c., considerably damaged. Insured—stock in the Phoe nix, and the building in the Sun. No. 11, the Golden Fleece public-house, belonging to Mr. Smith, back-front greatly damaged, and also the contents. In sured in the British. Nos. 1,2, aod 3, belonging to Messrs. Carver, Robertson, and French, totally destroyed, not even the bare walls remain ing. These houses were let out in lodgings, and, we regret to state, that the inmates have lost their all, and are not insured for a single penny. Nos. 42, 43, 44, and 45, opposite, belonging to Messrs. Iloneyman, Goodacre, and Moore, greatly damaged, and all uninsured. About four o'clock the wind shifted, and the flames were blown right across the street to Crosby-place, setting fire to the private house belonging to Thomas Bramley, Esq., which is partly demolished, and is uninsured; it then laid hold of Captain Page's residence, being No. 3, which is considerably damaged ; insured in British and Sun. No. 1 belonging to Mr. Wheeler, partly consumed, not known whether insured. N 0.2, Mr. Flemming's, quite down Insured in the British and Sun. No. 4, Mr. Little, potatoe-merchant, quite down, insured. Messrs. Landels'i grana►iet, No. 14, Bermondsey-wall, totally destroyed, with an immense quantity of corn; not known whe ther insured. Mr. Spy, baker, No. 15; Mr. Saunders, cook shopkeeper, No. 16 ; and an uninhabited house—all three quite destroyed and not insured. Up to five o'clock last night, the various engines were kept in constant operation, pouring an immense stream of water upon the burning mass, which had the desired effect of prevent ing the fire from extending. The two floating engines conti nued playing upon the ruins throughout the whole of the night The official account sent into one of the principal insurance offices of the amount of damage is estimated at 88,000/. Sir. Ramsay, on whose premises the fire commenced, is fortunately insured in the Sun. How the fire originated remains a perfect mystery. A marriage took place on the 20th ult., says a letter from Wiesbaden, at the Chateau of Biebrich, between the Prince de Weid and the Princess Mary of Nassau. The Court, the Corps Diplomatique, and an immense number of distinguished foreigners, were present at the ceremony. The Senate of ilanaburgh has just published a third list of subscriptions towards the relief of the sufferers from the late fire. The total amount received up to the 15th instant was 3,000,000 of mares bane°, about 4,800,000 f. LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.-011 Tuesday evening an inquest was held at the White Hart public-house, Wood ford, Essex, before C. C. Lewis, Esq., Coroner for the southern division of the county, on view of the body of Mrs. Jane E. Watkins, the wife of a highly respectable farmer residing in that neighbourhood. From the evidence it appeared that some days before she observed a bridle, which had been generally used by her when driving out in a chaise (which she was fre quently in the habit of doing) on one of the farming horses. She in consequence proceeded to the farmyard, where the animal was standing in a chaise cart, and incautiously removed it from his head. The animal instantly dashed off, and before the deceased had time to get out of its way, knocked her down, and not only trampled upon her, but drew the cart over her, and one of the wheels passed over her abdomen, chest, and neck. After lingering in extreme suffering for two days she expired. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death.'

HAMBURGH, JUNE 25.—Among the proofs of sym pathy for the misfortune of Hamburgh which e received from all quarters, those from England, and especially from London, are especially distinguished : not only did the Government give immediate relief to the houseless, by sending tents and blankets, and the wealthy city contributed amply, but private individuals have shown the interest they take in our welfare. Thus Mr. Frederick Huth, of London, formerly our fellow - citizen, has tent over as a present an English fire-engine with the latest improvements. The trial made with this engine has fulfilled all the expectations formed of it; and though we must hope that Heaven will preserve us from the cases in which it might be useful to us, Hamburgh is equally obliged for thus providing against future dangers.—Hamburgh Boraen-Halle, June 25.

IMPORTANT FROM BUENOS AYRES.. HORRIBLE ASSASSINATIONS. By the barque Mason Barney, Captain Scott, we have Buenos Ayres papers to April 16, and letters to the 20th. They bring accounts of the success of the Buenos Ayrean forces in the North, in consequence of which a • great number of assassinations, estimated at 200 0r,300e. - had taken place in the city of Buenos Ayres. These aseee:eer sassinations are scarcely alluded to in the Buenos Ayret!,-;ila! papers, for reasons which must be obvious to persons ace, eei (painted with the - condition of the Press there, and the; 4 ea circumspection necessary to be exercised. Some of our readers may need to be informed that the Unitarians" are a political party, and might with equil propriety be called Centralists—being in favour of a cell- . .1 - 1 ( tral, instead of a federal government. (Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.) BUENOS AYRES, APRIL 20.—The federal forces having completely mastered and put down their opponents, the Unitarians, in the provinces of Santa Fe and Entre ,e Rioe, those of their party designated by t h e others elasorca,s," or, as they call themselves, .. p o pular Society," procoeded to commit the most outra geou s and • barbarous atrocities upon the Unitarians, or those whom they chose to designate as such, that were living in the, city, many of whom were unoffending citizens, and hen never taken any part in politics on either side. The elasorcas themselves, together with some a ssassins ' being of the lowest class of the Gauchos, and others eat' ploycd by them, began the work of butchery on the 4 night of the 11th April (being the anniversary of Gen' Rosas' installation). They were at first prowling , about the streets during the night in parties of fromese' three to ten, sometimes attended by a police cartes o and sometimes on horseback. If they met any of those they were looking for in the streets, they put an en d to them. at once, by cutting their throats and throwing their bodies into the cart, which took them out of the e city. If they did not meet them in the streets, then 4s, would take them out of their houses. In two instanc es a respectable persons were killed in the presence of their, e. families, while sitting in their entries. In other cat sirs when they had no cart, they trailed the bodies on ground With, the Lasso, after their horses. In 01 11 ° 1.. e . cases they placed their victims on their horses enT and took them a mile out of the city, and there di*" atched them, - and threw their bodies into ditc hes e - ti pits, somethnes leaving them in the open fields. SOO were taken alive to the barracks and there dispatched but none, that I heard of; were taken to the police. On the morning of the 13th, the heads of two persons were found hanging in the principal public beef-marke' having had blue ribbons drawn through the nostrils, and they were continued there until nine o'clock. The se u were seen by hundreds of people, and by masters° foreign vessels especially, who go :here for marketing . Neither the police nor any of the government auth e ". rides took the least notice of these acts, which 'le' . afterwards committed in open day, and on all classes 0 citizens, from some of the wealthiest merchants down t° the poorest mechanics. On the 18th a respectable lawyer was killed by thee: in his own office, situated in the public square, in fr°n of the Police-office, while writing at his desk, about t ' o'clock ill the afternoon. Many of these assassinations were acts of private velt; geance ; and there is no knowing to what lengths thl might have gone even among themselves, if - it had . 1 1 - been known that some had been killed b sides Fedeln • ists. One, a barber, was killed by a rival of his, sn i‘ also a cartman, who had been employed in the ev° l „ himself. Then, and not till then, did the police WV ' any effort to stay the hand of violence. Last night a"' ferent parties from the police were patrolling the 6 , 1 ; and to-day but two murders are spoken of as hsv ee L ° D been committed during the whole night. Furtherinoll it is reported that a decree from the Governor•hiras'; is to be soon published, in which he is said to expre'" his astonishment at such proceedings ; that they, °E, entirely unauthorised by him ; censuring the chief 0- the police fur not having reported them before, and . • dering him, without delay to take such measures as put an entire stop to these murders, and arrest allsn" as were suspected of being the assassins. These proceedings, so far, have been entirely amen of the natives .themselves. The rights and property . „ 1. foreigners have been respected, so far as I have hen, except in one or two instances, when they hav e eiw-" • secreted natives in their houses, or assisted theln I n a caping from the shore on board of vessels in the hour. This had beCome very difficult, as there %W e bs many of the Masorcas looking out for them abo ut ; 1 Mole, and who took two out of the boats last evening: A decree was published about a fortnight ago, oisetnnS the trade and communication with the interior provige:l" but denying passports to all the "savage Unitarians , forbidding them to leave the country. Some time since e e e k u, A;,' a public decree, the whole of the property of all the ) tarians (this being at least one-half the real esta tes t cattle in the province) was declared to be confiseatedt e „' "; the use of the Government ; and several houses in the eni . had been sold at public auction by order of the Gojer4 "' merit, it being announced at the same time that they longed to the savage Unitarians. A great propOrti e ' n ,W... the estancias (cattle farms) in the provinces are alre,tsb in charge of persons appointed by the Government, emb-e.,t; was then using the cattle fur the maintenance Of %-ir:`,; troop=, and also as many of the houses of the TJniteri° in the city for barracks as they required. The Unitarians were escaping to Monte Video and ell; where, as many of them as could This week over eitr e 7eie got off in one foreign merchant-vessel. Others were 5e7 . 00•:,; ri g such protection as they could get, from foreignersie,', the city, by secreting themselves in their houses. Th_tje.';[, courage and spirit seem to be entirely broken down, 1 7, 14 11' i ; although many of them were well supplied with arrase et e have not heard of a single instance of any one off t n: ' o'; having made the least resistance.

The introductory statement exhibits , Government view of the case. THE GOLDSMITHS' COMP4IIP, Wednesday the Goldsmiths' Company gave a grand hal 1 „, to the Ministry.
