iitg LONDON THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE 23, 1842. The African Civilization Society has already put the country to an expense of 65,0001. for an expe , dition to the Niger. The wealth is a great deal to 105 C, but the loss of the brave men who were se duced to volunteer on the pestilential service, and who perished in consequence, is still more to be regretted and deplored. But that, doubtless, is not the whole amount of the mischief which has been done by this assemblage of philanthropic, but ignorant and idle, gentlemen. '['hey interfered with the genuine and legitimate commerce that was growing up on the Niger. and did what they could to ruin it ; and so in reality the impeded the attainment of the object they profcssed•to promote.

Last year, Dr. LusmiNGTow, and gentlemen like him, sacrificed the interest of their constituents and of the empire to their connection with such societies. We deplore what we regard as Lord BROUGHAM'S erroneous opinion on the sugar duties, by which he makes himself an advocate for keeping wholesome food from the people of England. Lord BROUGHAM'S error, it is plain, is the growth of his long connexion with the Anti-Slavery party. He has taken the lead amongst them, and all his feelings and opinions have become so bound up with their pursuits that he forgets what is now due to the suffering people of England. On these grounds we conclude that leading statesmen should stand aloof from all Societies bound together by some principle which is far less comprehensive than the general welfare. As far as we recollect, Sir R. PEEL has never made himself conspicuous at any such meetings. He has been the chief of a great political party, but never an active leader of a clique. He has participated, we recollect, at such meetings as those which were held to do honour to WATT, SCOTT, and WILKIE, but he never sought popularity by catering for a few enthu siastic philanthropists. We approve of that caution, keeping himself separate from and above all minor sections of the community ; and, approving of his conduct, we regret to see the late leader of the House of Commons taking a prominent part on Tuesday at the meeting of the African Civilization Society. In Lord JonN RUSSELL'S conduct, there seems to us a great want of decorum. The public is still smarting under the recollection of public money wasted, and gallant lives lost, by the ill-contrived ex pedition to the Niger. It should, if possible, have been buried in oblivion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could, unfortunately, boast that he had done his best to se cure that the expedition should be so fitted out as would be most likely to secure success. In truth, the public is made aware that but for his subserviency, as a Minister, to the African Civilisation Society, at least the cost of the expedition would not have been de frayed out of the public parse. Lord JOHN Rus- SELCS appearance, therefore, at the meeting of the Society, and his boast that he had taken part in fit ting out the expedition, is nothing less than an insult to the public, whose interests he sacrificed, as a Mi nister, to serve the cause of that private Society of which he is a member. His example confirms our opinion, that a statesman, whether he be actually in office, or a chief of the Opposition, should carefully avoid becoming an active and passionate member of any such Society. What is very improperly ana very falsely called the Royal Assent was last night given to the Income tax Bill. That measure is now the law of the land. Her MAJESTY may possibly, by the advice of her Ministers, go through the form of affixing her name to the Commission, appointing certain dearly beloved cousins and counsellors of her's to give her nominal assent to the Bill, by which it is converted into a law; but it is plain that her MAJESTY has no more will in the matter, than one of the Ushers of the House of Peers. It was only on Tuesday night, about twelve o'clock, that the Peers passed the Bill, and, legislatively speak. ing, her MAJESTY could hear nothing of it before that hour. In sixteen hours, however, from that time, which would not suffice for the swiftest reader to read the Bill through and understand it, ner MAJESTY'S assent A to it was formally sig. nified. What is the plain inference from this, or rather, what is the certain fact ? Why, the so-called Royal Assent is not the assent of the QUEEN at all, but the assent of the Minister to the Minister's tax. PEEL ordains the Income-tax ; and PEEL forces it through the House of Commons, as Sir R. VYVYAN has stated, by a threat of resignation ; the House of Lords dare not touch the Money Bill ; and then Dictator PEEL issues directions to certain officers and certain Lords, who go through a certain form—mocking Royalty— and they give P EEL'S assent to PEEL'S ordained tax. This Royal Assent is one of those shams or fictions with which our law and Constitution abound, and which shams and fictions, according to those who ex pound the law and the Constitution, are more essen tial to the preservation of society than all the daily toils of all the artisans in the empire. Her M.AsEsTr, Gon bless her ! has nothing to do with giving any . assent to such an odious tax. It is a calumny on her to assert that she assents to it. Sli"(: is its victim, like the people. Her income is dimin ished as well as the wages of the bread-eating artisans by the rapacity of the aristocracy. They sur round her with a gorgeous Court, which gives_great salaries to themselves ; and the QUEEN, shorn of all real power, a mere pageant in their hands, is held out to 'the community as taking some 600,0001. 'a -year, from the people, when. in fact she gets little more than the tenth part of the sum. The Lords and Ladies in Waiting, the Master of the Buckhounds, &c., &c., have the bulk of - the money amongst themselves. Her MAJESTY gives up a part of her income to this tax, as the people must give up a part of theirs. Now, as the Income-tax is the consequence of the Corn-law, it follows that the QUEEN is actually taxed to preserve the wealth of the aristocracy. It results also from what we have said, that what is called the Royal Assent is merely the assent of the Minister, giving his own decree the so lemn sanctity and form of law. A' great deal is said in both Houses of Parliament about the advantages of monarchy, but they cannot spring from the Monarch having here any power. The President of the Republican United States has a substantial monarchical legislative power, and he has more than once thwarted, by his veto, the designs of thwe who sought to oppress both the President and the people. But our Monarch has no power to arrest the progress of any bad,-Bill, except by breaking up the Ministry, which , cannot be donee without the consent of the Houses' of Parliament, and must always cause . great inconvenience. If her MA JESTY had any . such power, she would now be besieged by the suffering people from one end of the empire to the other, to give them relief by abrogating the laws which cramp their industry and deprive them of food. But it is due to her to make it now widely known, that she has no real legislative Power ; That it is all in the hands of the Ministers ; that the Royal Assent is their assent ; and they ought not to be allowed to hide their awful responsibility for the present condition of the country behind the throne. IVe learn with regret, that the Anti-Corn-law League, as will be seen by an advertisement, is com pelled to postpone the general meeting, which is to be hold in London, from the 27th inst. to the .sth proximo. If the League is to do any good before the Parliament prorogues, the first appointed day was not too early for it to assemble. Mr. WAity's motion in favour of the Ballot was relected on Tuesday night, by an absolute :majority of 133—the votes being, for the motion 157, against it 290. The minority is sufficiently large to impress us with a con viction that it Must ultimately- triumph. From the whole tone of the debate it is clear that many Tories would vote for it, but for a dread that it would be fol lowed by an extension of the suffrage. We will deal fairly with them. Assuredly it would ; otherwise it were an evil instead of a good. A narrow suffrage and the Ballot would but lead to an increase of bribery. But what we desire to see is the extension of the suffrage going hand in hand with the Ballot. Were it found im possible for them to accompany each other, we are for giving precedence to the extension of the suffrage. A •rood deal of nonsense was talked on Tuesdoy night about the 'lnality of the Reform Bill. It appears that while the '3allot and the duration of Parliaments were left open luestions, a sort of compact NS as entered into that the !Mil should be a final measure. Such a compact on the dart of the Members of the Government was an uneon ;titutional and scandalous assumption of a power which Iyid nut belmtg to dent. It was not for them—it was :ot fur the Kiso, to fix the limits or representation in .his country. By whomsoever entered into, we 3enounce the compact as a foul conspiracy against the constitutional rights of the British people, and did we know a worse name to call it by, we w . uhi app l y it. The best and most eloquent speech of the evening was delivered by Mr. Stum., in support of I n W ARD 'S motion. The Right Hon, th e o K n i ght of Netherhy," after his own heavy fashion, attempted to ineer at the speech of the Right Honourable Gen tleman, as a repetition of one delivered b y him m a former debate on the same question. The me mory of the Home Secretary is more tenacious of the speeches of Mr. Slum, than is that of the country of any ever delivered by himself. We pledge ourselves that Sir JAMES GRAHAM may make any one set of speeches he ever delivered in Parliament serve him for the remainder of his life, and if he only contrive to ecure the silence of HANSARD'S people, the trick will :lever b discovered. The Right lion. Baronet is safe twitting Hon. Members for repeating themselves. Retaliation is out of the question. Nobody thinks it worth while to burden his recollection with his ponderous common-places uttered for the nonce, because as a -Mi nister he mmt say something. _ _ Though as cordial and hearty supporters of the 3allot as Mr. WARD himself, provided it be accompanied with a large extension of the suffrage, we continue to think the time for bringing it before the House of Com mons exceedingly ill chosen. The country is in a state Df great physical distress, so that with the working classes it is a struggle for existence. They therefore can pay no attention to politics. Those immediately above them have their heads filled with the Income-tax, and the Tariff, and the proceedings relative to the bribery system carried on at the last election. Mr. WARD. should have allowed the excitement upon these luestions to have subsided before bringing on his motion. He also :should have waited for the arms with which Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee will be sure o supply him. In acting as he has done, he has acted _ honestly, firmly, and consistently. ; but, in mr humble opinion, he has not acted with the prudence and foresight most conducive to the triumph of his :ails's% There is a time for everything; but if one thing be done out of time, it deranged all the rest. In the midst of questions of so much greater moment, we fear that the debate on the Ballot will sound in the public ear too like an impertinence. We shall rejoice should we find eurselves mistaken. We bare received the whole of the Paris Journals. Their leading articles are chiefly on the approaching elections. The following, however, from the Globe, is all that we find of the least interest on this subject : " The public are aware that Parliamentary Reform is one of the articles of the decalogse of the Opposition. Rather than not expel public functionaries from the Chamber as men of sordid and venal minds, the Opposition would, they say, submtt to any extremes. It will be seen, however, that the Opposi lion, so ferocious as regards public functionaries who vote against them, has bowels of compassion for those who vote with them. The following is a little list of public functionaries re commended to the electors by three fanatics of Parliamentary Reform—the Constitutionnel, the Siccle, and the Courrier Francais" The Globe then enumerates thirty presidents of tribunals, judges, and other public functionaries, and observes that such inconsistency as this ought to open the eyes of even the most credulous dupes of the party. The same Journal has the following on the distress of the labouring population of Eng land. The reader will remember that the Globe is the avowed organ of the French West India interest, and is, therefore, always ready to throw doubt over the motives of the partisans of negro emancipation, or on the value of the measure which they advocate.—" It would be difficult to add anything to what has been said resitecting the emancipation of the blacks in the English colonies. We will ask, however, whether the blacks in the English colonies are physically more happy than they were during the time of their slavery ? This is doubtful ,• but what is not at all doubtful is that the white labourers of Eng land are incontestably in such distress, that the greatest opti mist is alarmed at it, and the decadency of colonial agriculture, owing to the enfranchisement of the blacks, is not one of the slightest causes of this distress. The English Ministry is so convinced of this, that all its efforts at this moment tend to ob taining the means of conveying Africans to Jamaica and the other English possessions in the West Indies." The Debatshas an article on the state of Syria. After alluding to the question put in the Home of Lords by Lord Howden on this subject, and to Lord Aberdeen's declaration that there is the most entire con cert on the part of all the Five Powers in the counsel given to the Turkish Government with regard to the Government of Syria, remarks We desire earnestly that this perfect con cord may continue, and be successful ; but it would have been letter if it had not been required. We now behold before us the brilliant consequences of the treaty of July. The four Powers—for there were but four at first —were, it was said, to free Syria from the cruel despotism of the Pacha of Egypt, and to restore it to the paternal government of the Sultan. What has been the end of these pompous promises? Syria has been plunged into an anarchy more profound than ever, and we be hold the tribes of the Mountain, before restrained by the strong hand of Ibrahim, now engaged in carrying on their hereditary quarrels. The English agents had insurrectionized Syria in 1840, in the name of independence, and Mr. Wood had solemnly promised the population of the Lebanon, in the name of England, to restore to them their privileges. The very first act of the Porte has been to deprive them of the most ancient of these rights, viz., the power of governing themselves, and notwithstanding the protestations of the European Courts, it has installed and maintains a Turkish Governor in the Lebanon, which never up to the present time had been go verned otherwise than by Emirs. • Lately too, Sir R. Peel, de dared in the House of Commons that the Albanian troops, which were levied by the Turkish Government, should never be sent into Syria, because England had protested against this measure, and yet a month afterwards these same troops disembarked at. Beyrout. We do not deny that the people of Syria were not also oppressed by the detested 3oke of Mehemet Ali, but, at least, the Pacha of Egypt felt the necessity of conciliating the Christian Powers, and was thus constrained, if ho did net do so willingly, to make very ample concessions. At present the Porte, re-established in what is called the in tegrity of its empire, laughs at those who for this work en dangered the repose of Europe. It cost great trouble, and they were obliged to divide themselves into pieces—four at all events—te disturb the peace;and they require to be five to re store it. We are clearly of opinion that France should not keep herself apart from the other Powers through rancour or any ill feeling, for the ill consequences of such a separation would fall on the innocent Christian populations of the Levant. We confine ourselves to merely mentioning the sad results of a coalition which has not even restored peace to the East, in. compensation for the derangement which it caused in the West."

All at once there was a tremendous clap of thunder, and eleven horses, with their riders, were thrown to the ground. One man and eight horses were killed by the stroke ; two men were taken to the hospital, one of them in a most deplorable condition; it is hoped that the other will be saved. Among the men who were thrown down, one was leasing three horses, he received no injury but some slight marks in the hand that held the reins. His cap was carried off except the brim, which remained on his forehead. —Consti tutionnel. BO URS E-_ P ARIS, MONDAY, JUNE 20. FITSt Price Meat Lowest rum Prick Lan Price.

A FEW MELANCHOLY THOUGHTS ON THE INCOME TAX.—That precious Tory impost, the Income-tax, passed the House of Lords on Tuesday, and will receive the Royal assent this clay. The public, therefore, may shortly expect to be in the full enjoyment of this inesti mable financial blessing ; for the machinery for working it is all prepared, and in a few clays the tax-gatherers will be everywhere on the march, each as busy as his respected sire is said to be in a high wind. Such a cloud of locusts! Not a decent house in the country will be safe from their cahtmitous visitation. Take the wings of the morning, an d tlee unto the uttermost parts of England, still you shall not escape the tax-gatherer and his oppressive importunities. Talk of light sovereigns ! Light as they may be now, they will be much lighter by and bye, when our clear delightful Tory PrNmer has " sweated" sevenpence out of each one of them. We can imagine the long faces that will be universally prevalent, when Peel's Familiars are put into the full possession of their inqu isit o rial powers, and insist on every decayed gen tleman and tradesman acquainting them with the most secret history of their delicate distresses for the last three years. There must be no shirking—no evasion—no showing to the door, or flooring with a cross •buttock—the Familiar must be treated with forbearance, and his questions answered to the minutest point. Not the slightest allowance will be made for any expectoration of bile, on the part of the sufferer. If as is perfectly natural, and indeed praiseworthy, under the circum stances—he consigns the " eyes " of his catechist to perdition, he will be instantly visited with a penalty of live pounds; if he evince a determination to be mute, he will be fined fifty ; and if, in the warmth of the moment, he proceed to violent extremities, he will most probably be recommended by some polite Magistrate to try the air Brixton for a month ! " WANTS A SITUATION " will shortly, we confidently predict, be •the heading of every third advertisement in the Times and other Journals, for one of the first results of the Income tax will be to throw servants out of employ by thousands. In the butler's pantry there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth ; and in the scullery, Dolly, the cook-maid, will be seen giving her last brush to the cob webs, and her last kick to the cat, previous to her final exit from that kitchen, where she held divided authority with the cook fur years. And yet Sir Robert Peel tells us that his tax will not affect the poorer classes ! We tell him, in reply, that it will be found, in the long run, to be the greatest curse that has been inflicted on them for years THE REFORM CLUB.—An excellent lithographed er graving of the kitchen department of the Reform Club has just been published by Mr. Alexis Soyer, the dis tinguished artiste who presides over that most important division of the establishment. Mr. Soyer has the merit of having designed the plan of a kitchen, admitted b 1 all the Noblemen - and Gentlemen who have visited it—and the list . includes more Peers than voted last night against the third reading of the Income tax Bill—to be one of the best contrived in the king dom, not excepting the kitchen department of Winthor Castle. We have heard much lately of desertions from the Tory camp, and we have not the least doubtthat they are owing to the admirable condiments of which Mr. Soyer is so inimitable a purveyor. Mrs. Soyer has ac quired a European reputution in a far higher branch of art. Few visitors of the Royal Academy and the British Institution, are unacquainted with her very clever pictures. Though an Englishwoman, she is better known as an artist in Paris than in London. The trial of the recent coinages in the Pix of the Mint took place yesterday in the Exchequer. The Lord Chan cellor, Lord Munteagle, the Duke of Baccleuch, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Other Prive Councillors were present. The Jury were composed exclusively of goldsmiths, who were sworn to assay the different spe cimens of coinage delivered to their charge in order to ascertain if they were of the requisite Stand ard; according to the proposition specified in the Acts regulating the currency. The Lord Chancellor delivered the charge to the Jury, who afterwards retired to com mence their duties, by melting the different coins, and then testing them, to ascertain it' the proportions of gold and silver were correct.

The explanation given by Sir George Cockburn to the charge that some sailors, late paid off from a ship of war, had received their wages in light sovereigns, is strongly corrobora tive of the view of the question which has been taken in The Sun. The Government stand completely exonnerated from that portion which relates to cheating the sailor', but not by any means from the condemnation for exposing them, and the poorer classes as well, to be cheated by those to whom the coin was tendered. It is now admitted by a servant of the Crown, that a trade is being carried on in the coin of the realm, be it light, or be it of standard weight ; and it can only be con cluded that the whole of the gold now in general circulation is, by the late measure, greatly depreciated. The evil has already been seriously felt, but enough still remains unpresented to render it expedient to give some relief. The scarcity of silver remains unabated, and it is to he feared that, if means be not adopted to increase the amount, more serious consequences may .arise (From The Sun of Last Night.) The firmness of the Market is still maintained, and Consols at one period were worth 91i, but some sales made on private account. lowered the prices to the same rate as at the commencement of business. Consols are now 913 for the opening, ex div. • Three per Cents.

The other business has been, London and Birmingham, 176; York and North Midland Quarters, 323 ; Croydon, 13 ; and Chelten ham and Great Western, 274. The quotations of the Bonds and Portuguese Five per Cents., 373 ; and Spanish Three per Cents., 231 23i. Although the intelligence from Spain should have improved the quotations of the Bonds, were there any intrinsic value in them, the contrary has been the result. • Yesterday it was announced that some revolutionary movements had been suc cessfully put down, and that the difficulties lately consequent upon the formation of a Ministry had been overcome. To day the dividend due on the 30th instant is advertised to be paid at the promised period. Yet such -is the distaste now evinced towards these documents, that circumstances which in ordinary times would have caused a considerable rise, at pre sent have a contrary effect. It is clearly seen that the credit of Spain is not to be supported by a driblet of 20,0001., when the amount which ought to be paid is 2,000,000/. annually to the foreign creditor. The very means by which this paltry sum has been procured are con sidered to be in themselves sufficient to destroy any good effect the distribution might have. It is thought that it is not by bor rowing at the last moment the amount necessary to pay a demand of interest, such being added to the principal, that national or individual credit can be. sustained. And that,:too, at a time when the whole of the old debt is virtually repudiated, no pro vision made for, or the slightest notice taken of the Four per Cent. Stock or Treasury Bonds ; but every preference, if pre ference it can be called, is given to the debt last contracted, and which is to be thrown overboard at the earliest convenient moment. _ There are numerous ship letters to .day, but none of more re cent date than accounts previously received. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 21, was very dull, and only a limited amount of business was transacted. Prices, however, were steady ; about 2,000 bales sold, of which 200 Americans were for exports.

The original columns of the Paris Journals are filled with articles on the approaching elections, almost to the exclusion of all other subjects. With only two exceptions, they are rather criticisms upon the candidates, who are regarded as the chiefs of the diffejent political parties in France, than remarks upon the principles on which they found their appeals to the electors. The Quotidienne of Monday publishes the circular of the Royalist Election Committee, which commences as follows : " At the moment of a serious struggle in the electoral col leges, which will cement the fate of France for five years, per haps in a disastrous manner, the Royalist Committee has deemed it necessary to discuss the conduct to be pursued by the Royalists. Their decision is that, after the deplorable ex perience of Ministerial majorities and systems, which a coali tion of 1639 introduced, the principle followed in the last elec tions is not a good one. .On the contrary, in the present de composition of parties, the moment has come for raising the Royalist flag and manifesting one's opinions." The Commerce, which seems to have no better opinion of M. Thiers than M. Guizet, calls upon the electors to choose candidates of true patriotism, who would attempt to right the vessel of the State, which is rather out of its equilibrium ; and, above all, put a stop to the lavish expenditure on the for tifications of Paris, which this Journal persists in describing as the result of a conspiracy against the liberty of the Parisians by the leaders of the great parties in the last Chamber, both in , and out of office. The French Government received by telegraph, from Tou lon, the following despatch, dated Algiers, 15th instant :- 4• The Governor-General of Algeria, to the Minister of War. —The last manoeuvre in the Atlas has obtained for us the sub mission of the tribes .of Beni Sala, Mouzaia. Beni Messaoud, 'Sournata, Beni Menad, and Cbenoua, and all the Hadjoutes. The division of Oran is on its march to descend the Chelif ; the division of Algiers, formed into three columns,. is preparing to move." Constitutionnel gives the following letter from Tlemcen, June 4 :••—•.‘ The second expeditionary column has just con cluded a successful a . tack on the tribe of the Ouled-Assas. They ransacked their silos, and brought back to Tlemcen about 400 camel-loads of corn, which is considered a very consi derable quantity. The western districts may now be considered as altogether subjected to our power. The Emperor of Mo rocco, Muley-Abdheraman, has sent some officers of his army with presents to General Bedeau. The General received them the day before yeAerday, and treated them with great politeness. They declared, in the name of their master, that Abd-el-Kader's manmuvres should have no sanction from Mo rocco, and that our offers of peace, were most acceptable. The Commerce informs us that a Convention has been en • tered into between the French and Neapolitan Governments for the transport of letters and travellers from Naples to Mar seilles, by steam-packets. The ratification of this treaty is daily expected. Letters between those two cities, and conse 7 quently between the two countries, which now take eight days, will in future take three days less. The Presse publishes die following letter from Teheran, but does not give the date : --‘• The policy of the Persian Govern ment is not changed, although the icfluence of Russia has di minished, and that of England increased. No more mention is made of the evacuation of Karck, and there is every reason to believe that Russia will be disappointed in the hoped for results of her mediation. At Herat, Kamran Shah wished to recal the English, but his Minister, Yar Mehemet Khan, over rules him and defeats all his projects, keeping his sovereign besieged in his citadel. Revolts are incessantly taking place in the south of Persia. This unf?rtunate country is nearly ex hausted. lts finances are so much reduced that it is unable to pay its most just debts, not twenty tomauns being left in the public treasury. The Augsburgh Gazette states, that on the 9th instant dis turbances of a very serious nature broke out in the city of Peath, in Hungary, occasioned by the discontent of the jour neymen Wiens, respecting some differences with the masters of the corporation in the matter of a savings bank. Sixteen hun dred of these men refused to work, and marched in a body out of the town. Some cavalry were sent against them, and forty were brought in as prisoners. Immediately an attempt at rescue was made by the journeymen and the populace. The town house, which contains-the prison, was attacked, its win dows demolished, and the lights in the street destroyed. The military were obliged to act, and many were wounded on both sides. The next day 3,000 shoemakers had threatened to join the tailors, and much apprehension was entertained for the tranquillity of the town. A letter from Constantinople, of the Ist instant, gives the satisfactory intelligence that at a conference held on the 27th tilt., between the . Ambassadors of the Five Powers and the Turkish Ministers, the latter made known the contents of despatches re ceived from the Seraskier Pacha, in which it is stated, upon full evidence , that the inhabitants of Lebanon are not only content with the present administration of the Porte, but are far from de.iring any change. Syria has not been in so favour able a state for the last 40 years. PAELAAMENTARY. In the Lords the Income-tax Bill was converted, by the Lords Commissioners giving the Royal Assent to it, into a law. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the Commons, Mr. O'Connell made a report from the Belfast Election Inquiry Committee, recommending the appointment of an agent for each of the parties. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman made a motion accord ingly, but postponed it till this day. Mr. Ferrand an nounced that he should meet the motion, and a similar one to be brought forward by Mr. Wortley, as to the. Southampton election inquiry, with a direct negative. Mr. Hume inquired of the Chancellor of the Ex - . chequer, if he had taken any means to supply additional silver, but the Chancellor answered the Hon. Member that there was plenty of silver three weeks ago. Awakened now, apparently, from a dream, he has taken, he says, means to procure a supply. The Drainage (Ireland) Bill went through Committee, as did also the Copyright of Designs Bill. The Employment in Mines Bill was committed. Mr. Scott said if the Bill were carried through it would do harm in Staffordshire. Lord Ashley, in consequence, as he said, of some communication with two deputations, has substituted the age of 10 for 13, and introduced a regulation to employ the boys only three days in the week. This is t more rational system than excluding them wholly from the mines till they are thirteen. Great objections were made to parts of the Bill, but it was passed through the Cominiitee without any important amendments, except those made by Lord Ashley him self'; and the Report was ordered to be received on Friday. The Report on the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill was brought up, after a division. Mr. Blackstone moved to re-commit the Bill, but the motion was rejected, by 48 to 19. The Rivers (Ireland) Bill went through a Committee. The House was employed with such measures all the evening, Lord Eliot, we believe, being the only person connected with the Ministry who was in the House. After getting through the Orders, the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. A General Court of the Governors of Bartholomew Hos pital was held last week, when a tribute was paid to the me mory of Thomas Helps, Esq., the late Treasurer. The Royal foundation of this Hospital has been established upwards of 300 years, and in its present enlarged state it can receive nearly 600 in-patients.. A meeting of the members of the Sea-bathing Infirmary was held on Tuesday at Willis's Rooms, when it appeared,lfrom the Report, that since the foundation of the infirmary, 16,405 pa tients had been admitted; and in August, last year, 426 persons received the benefit of the institution. There is a deficiency, however, in the funds of 2001. The district in Lancashire, called the Forest of Rossendale, forming a square of shoot 24 miles in breadth end length between Bolton, Blackburn, and Brumley, was, a century since, only a waste of moors and bushes, not worth more than a thousand a-year. It, is now studded over •with factories. print-works, and bleaching establishments • cultivated in dairy farms to the very summit of its hills, and worth at least sixty thousand pounds of annual rental. At Colne, the parish clergyman calculates that, out of a popu lation of 53,000, no less than 13,000 are receiving parish relief; the Poor-rates have risen from 3s. to 10s. in the pound. Padiham is in the same state of destitution. NAVAL AND MILITARY. • Tuesday, the annual distribution of prizes took place at the Royal Naval School, Camberwell, when several Admirals of eminence were present. The Report was very flattering. MAW AND POLICE. _ _ Frederick Hunt, a letter-carrier, was charged at Bow-street on Tuesday, with stealing a letter containing money, and after a brief examination, was remandbd. At Union-Hall, Isaac Beamish, an engineer recently arrived from Rio Janeiro, where he had been in the service of the Brazilian Government, was committed to take his trial for inflicting, with a penknife, two serious wounds on Harriet "Wilson, a young woman with whom he had cohabited for some time. Mr. Hooper, surgeon, in the London-road, said the wounds were of a dangerous description. MITZRAS.II" AND SCIENTIFIC. At a meeting of the Statistical Society of London, held on Monday, in St. Martin's-place, and at which Prince Albert was present, a paper was read by Joseph Fletcher, Esq., " On the MuniCipal Institutions of-the English Towns," which de scribed their origin in the earliest forms of Teutonic associa tion, the identity of their privileges after the Conquest, and the progress of their legislation in regard of Charters and Local Acts. By sth and 6th of William IV., the revenues, consti tutions, and powers of 178 municipal corporations have been newly regulated, and 85 left unaltered. Sheridan ,Knowles, the well-known dramatist, delivered the first of six lectures on the - Drama and English Literature, on Tuesday evening, at Kensington. COURT-FASHIONABLE. _ _ Lord and Lady Feversham have left town for their seat in Yorkshire. Early in the ensuing week Lord Emlyn will be united to Miss Cavendish, who, as Maid of Honour to her Majesty, re ceives the Royal dowry of one thousand pounds on her wedding day. This will be followed by the marriage of the Earl of Desart to the Lady Elizabeth Campbell, third daughter of the Earl and Countess of Cawdor. The Viscount Somerton, eldest son of the Earl of Normanton, is about to form a matrimonial alliance with the daughter of Lady Montgomery. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford arrived in Wa terford by the Osprey steam-ship, from Bristol , on Saturday. Immediately en landing, they proceeded to Curraghmore, the princely seat of the Beresford family, where they were received with enthusiasm by their tenantry. The fête to be given to her Majesty and Prince Albert by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, at their villa at Richmond, will also be honoured by the comrany of the Ki ng and Queen of the Belgians. The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury have arrived at Alton Towers, Staffordshire, from the Continent. The Marchioness Di Salsa (Lady Strachan) leaves Mivart's Hotel in the course of the week for Naples. NIESCELLANLOUS. A novel deception has lately been practised at Cuba, part of which consists in the knavery of a slave-dealer, who, by means of nitrate of silver and other chemical admixtures, produces a disease in the black ne,,oro, which converts his skin to a white. It has been rumoured that the execution of thl culprits now under sentence of death, Francis and Cooper, would take place next Monday, but nothing definitive has been yet arranged. By the present Act respecting capital offences, a period of 2l days may elapse between the periods of convictio and execu tion, and the Sheriffs are the parties who are empowered to fix the day for execution, and then to notify the fact to the F:ome Secretary. Pardon or commutation can, of course, be granted by her Majesty. The ball at Almacks to-night was particularly brilliant, as the number was restricted to 600. Several the illustrious fe. reigners, now on a visit to the Court, have signified their intention of attending the next ball. ELABORATE ASTRONOMICAL CLOCKS.—Mr. Dent, of 82, Strand, having had the distinguished honour of con structing, by command of the Emperor of Russia, two Astrono mical clocks, invites a public inspection of them previous to their departure.

The Lords of her • Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting yesterday morning in the office of the Comptroller-General of the Exchequer for the trial of her Majesty's coins in the Pix of the Mint.

FOREIGN STEAM-VESSELS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Silt,—l have been much pleased with the manner in which you have exposed the unjustifiable hostility shown by the Belgian Government, under cover of the Antwerp Company, to English steam-vessels. This is very dif ferent conduct to what is experienced by Belgian steamers in British ports. Indeed' consider - the indulgence shown to these steamers, in many instances, most unfair to wards 'the vessels of our own country. By what authe-. rity, for instance, does the BritiSh Queen, now Belgian property, call at Southampton and take in passengers fur New York, haVing Made • her clearance at the port she .belongs to l?. and . thus, in a . manner, robbing the British. sh4aowner of hii fair freight. What, I would ask, would become of an English ship were. she to attempt to call at a foreign port under similar circumstances ? The owners would be made to pay dearly for their trial. Again, by what arrangement are these foreign ships brought higher up the River than Limehouse, that being the limit wisely laid down and adhered to until it became the fashion to give up the interest of British shipowners for distribution among, foreigners, in which they have been in nowise backward of availing themselves ? ' I really hope something will be done to check the un due support afforded to the enemies of the British ship ping interests. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, June 22, 1842. AN ENGLISHMAN. INDIA. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of the 50th Native Infantry, dated Saugor, April 19, 230 miles from Cawnpore : "We are all on the alert here. An insurrection has broken out about forty miles from this. Five companies, a wing of irregular cavalry, with two 9-pounders have been sent out to quell it, but it does not appear to make much progress. The day before yesterday Captain Rolfe and three privates got wounded; one private and one horse killed. _ . " The country all round is up in arms, and we have barely sufficient troops here to protect the city of Saugor and maga zine. A requisition for troops has been made out, and on their arrival we shall be able to adopt more effectual measures. I only hope all will be settled ere the rains set in. The ther mometer in camp is 125. The Commissioner, who is out with the troops, wrote in to say the insurgents were in full march to plunder the city, but they have not yet made their appearance, but have burnt two villages only seven miles off. " Amu. 20.-1 regret to say the remains of poor Captain Rolfe, of the 3d Native Infantry, who was wound , :d three days back, were brought in this morning." DREADFUL EXPLOSION-SEVEN PERSONS KILLED. An explosion, in consequence of the accumulation of foul ai r in the shaft, took place on Monday at an iron-stone mine in the Cleveland colliery, situated on the road to Willenhall, near Wolverhampton, belonging to Messrs. Bradley, Barrow, and Hall, by which seven men a n d bo )s ha ve b een kill e d, an d six dreadfully burned and mutilated. The sufferers who are dead are as follows: • James Live, - aged 46, and hid son; aged 14:—this poor man leaves behind him a wife and six small children, who were en tirely dependent upon their father and brother for their sup port ; Walter Marshall, a boy about 15 years of age ; William Smith, w;ed27 years, leaving a wife and one child; Edward Daw son, aged 16; W. Dunn, aged 17, and W. Jones, aged 11. 'The individuals injured are :—Charles Evans, aged 11 years, Thomas Evans, aged 14; Joseph Aston, aged 11; Stephen Vaughan, aged 50, who has a wife and six children; W. Hope, married, aged 30; And Edwin Jones, aged 11. Little hope, we regret to state, is entertained of the recovery of either Charles or Thomas Evans, and the injuries of the ethers are unusually severe. They have been conveyed to Portobello. The accident is attributable to the adoption of common candles in place of the safety-lamp. RO YAL ADELAIDE GALLERY. Master Layland, the juvenile composer and harpist, made his first appearance at this Institution on Tuesday and was completely successful. The young gentleman, who does not appear to be more than ten or twelve years of age, is in many respects a very astonishing boy. That he should thoroughly understand his instrument is not wonderful, when we consider that he is a pupil of the Royal Academy Of Music, and has studied for some time under , the superintendence of Mr. Balsir Chatterton, but it is astonishing that such a boy should pos sess such firmness of touch, and such powers of execution, and, better than all, for these are mere mechanical excellencies, that he should possess such a pure musical taste, and such a correct judgment. He gave us some compositions of his own, which in themselves were well worthy the applause they eli cited, but which we consider as of still greater value for the promise they hold forth of future excellence. We shall watch the future career of this very talented youth with great inte rest Nature has done every thing for him—his instructors ariof the highest rank in the musical profession, and it will be is own fault if that Career be not one of fame and fortune. We cannot close this notice without congratulating the pro prietor of the Gallery on the marked improvement which has taken place in the musical performances since they have been under the able superintendence of Mr. Emanuel. NOVEL OPERATION. ',The Penelope frigate, of 45 guns, was taken into dock at Chatham last week, when several shipwrights were immediately placed on her, and commenced the operation of cutting the frigate in halves, for the purpose of converting it into a steam ship. On Saturday the process of removing one half of the ship from the other was performed in the presence of upwards of 1,000 persons. Two large booths were erected on each side of the Penelope, and were filled by naval and military officers, and the gentry of the neighbour hood. The sight was novel and astonishing. Three ropes were fastened to the gunwale of the ship from three capstans, which were fixed in the ground facing the dock, and which were worked up by windlasses by nearly 200 convicts. On the arrival of the Right Hon. Thomas L. Corry, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, together with Sir William Symonds, the surveyor, and Captain R. Brandreth, architect of the navy, Captain. Superintendent Sheriff, and other officers, the master builder. Mr. Fincham, gave directions for all hands to work. As soon as the parts were observed to separate, the band of the dock-yard struck up, " Oh dear, what can the matter be ?" amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude. The fore part of the vessel was observed easily and gradually to glide up the dock. The fore part of the ship having been brought up to the mark allotted, left a space between the two parts of the shit', i xactly 62 feet, which will lengthen the Penelope to about 190 feet. She is to have in her two engines of 650-horse power, and to have engine room for 600 tons of fuel ; complete stowage under hatches for 1,000 troops, with four months' stores and provisions, exclu sive of a crew of about 450 men, and is to be armed with 20 guns of the heaviest calibre, besides carronades. 'I he Penelope, when completed, will be the finest war steamer in the service. The Swabian Mercury states that the King of Prus sia lately replied to certain persons who objected to his sending the Cross of the Order of Merit to M. Arago —" When science is to be yewarded, all the shades of political opinions ought to be left out of the question." The same paper says that his Majesty added, that " he would have wit the Cross of the Order o f M er i t t o M r . O'C onne ll, h a d Mr. O'C o n ne ll earned a distinguished reputation in science." LITERATURE. BRITISH and FOREIGN REVIEW, So._ XXVI Taylor, London, 1842: L -- A selection from the speeches of that eminent spar American lawyer and statesman Daniel Webster. , ta„ l " . '_ .. ..' has, it seems, been lately published at New Yorks , ,19,1, and the Number before us of the " British and Fo4a:' Es. reign Review" gives a copious and spirited notice-ol' this publication, together with a brief biographical •-i'a,, sketch. of Mr. Webster, from which we learn thae 4 , 11 11 he is the son of a New Hampshire fanner, and waS ,T born in the year 1782. At the usual age, he was sent to Dartmouth College, in Vermont, where —like many others who have afterwards distinguished them selves by their intellectual powers—he was con- sidered a very dull youth, and returning home in disgrace, went to work in his father's woods like an ordinary day-labourer. Two or three years were thus wasted, but at .the end. of that period a sudden and surprising change came over the young ' .: man. He betook himself to the study of the law ; was at work early and late, denying himself every species of relaxation ; and at length by dint of severe, conti nuous study, aided by some few fortunate accidents, ho rose into - notice, and, as a ' necessary consequence, , into highly profitable employment. In 1812 he en- tered Congress, where he speedily became distin guished by his vigorous and argumentative speeches on the currency question.. Four years afterwards he in reoced.to Boston, in which city his profound know' ~.0 ledge of the law enabled him to carry all before him. He is Conservative in politics, and was leader of the -. Federal party when Jackson obtained the Presi dency. - From that time to the present he has re" mained firm to his principles,. and though these , * 1 were for a long period unpopular, yet he never lost' .'s his hold - on the people, but was—and still is-- ,'q considered throughout the Union as the first states- . -c man and most eloquent orator of the republic. Du i ' ring successive sessions he an almost un paralleled reputation in Congress by his masterly '.. , expositions of the constitution, but his great triumph - - was his exposure of the Nullification doctrine in 180, ' Now that the tide has turned in favour of his partY l 1 ,. e : by . the election of the late General Harrison to the, ,- o,! executive, he has been appointed to the high An a 4 1 responsible post of Secretary of State. . 'iii} " Like Mr. O'Connell," says the Reviewer, " Webster . is of Herculean strength and build.' He is dark+, with black hair, a high and broad forehead, larg e deep-set - eyes that sparkle lustrously when he is sin, - -mated, black overhanging eyebrows, a mouth of akin(' '..- , of sculptured strength, yet of great beauty. faultless teeth, and a voice of extraordinary power and conspassi i ; The - tout ensemble . of his personal appearance is singula r ' , impressive and imposing ; and his unaffected simpli . and perfect modesty . are combined with a remarksl, • dignity of carriage in ".society,. As Coleridge says ?, Southey, " lie possesses but is - not possessed by ha s genius." No man ever had his powers more completely under command. At a moment's warning the vast stores of his mind are ready, and the most impromptu speech rolls from his tongue in perfect composition. He is a l *. ways logical in conversation—this is his great c harac' teristic—enchains the attention of every listener by th Eg driest argument, and has a manner of the most singularll mixed grace and power. His eloquence, when he w arms , is perfectly overpowering, and then he bursts out with 0 flow of poetry, which would hardly be thought possib le from the severe cast of his mind. Miss Martineau , vvb c : met him at a dinner-party at the British Legation s' Washington, says there is no merrier man. She describ es a him as leaning back at his ease on the sofa, shaking,' with burst after burst of laughter, telling stories, cre ek ing jokes, or smoothly discoursing to the perfect feli cii7 of the logical part of one's constitution. Such is his pry rate boon companionship. Abroad, however, he is 'lit he • stern, plain-dressed, grave republican; and the coniro 3 man who passes him in the street thinks he can read th e , cares and responsibilities of the whole United States Government on his great brow." - Mr. Webster speaks but seldom in Congress ; b ut - i t when he does! he never fails to enchain the attentiona .1: of all who hear him. His voice at first is low, Os :01 'his manner quiet but unembarrassed ; his right hay". ~0), rests upon his desk, and the left hangs by his side . -." Before he has finished his first head, however, his voice :'.r.,': has risen so as to fill the chamber, and he has fallen . into his favourite attitude, with his left hand under "'lf • coat-tail, and his right in full action. At this in°' . ment he seems like one under the influence of insP,'" . i ration ; but when his speech is concluded, he instan tl y , • ' relapses into his usual dreamy, abstracted state, and n°'.4 could guess from his perfect repose of manner, h e e s; prone he was to strong political excitement. _From t n .: I copious. extracts made by the Reviewer from n''' 9 : o i4 . speeches, as well as from the specimens we have so, . . from time to ,time in the IN ew York papers, I ` . r,,t should say" that Mr. Webster's oratory was net ''' ' '' l " much remarkable for grace or polish, as' for strong', rough, sinewy good sense. Nothing can be more: ~ simple, lucid, and straightforward than his style;.01;11 there is no . -, verboseness—no- hunting about ti./ 1 , 0 striking forms of expression.; the speaker appeart' 4 take the first that comes to hand, perfectly . satisfied ''' i f that it distinctly conveys his meaning..
