At the moment when it is about to wind up its successful labours, it finds out that it is in a worse position than when the session began. It has weakened all the holdfasts of monopoly, and failed to satisfy the people. All its work must be done over again, and done in a more workmanlike manner. The iinal result, so far, is, that both the strong Government and the Parliament have been shattered and half de stroyed by a deliberate attempt to modify and perpetuate a great system of legislative injustice. They have pe rilled their authority in a struggle against the course of society, and they have already lost the battle. The third and last of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S great mea sures passed through the House of Lords last night, and it now only needs what is called the Royal assent to be come law. No time will be lost i❑ going through that form, and traders may at once commence their opera tions to make the most and the best of it. We shall re. juice to hear that it restores health to our trade, that those who have looked to it with much hope may not be disappointed; but we cannot cherish the belief that lowering somewhat the price of meat will diminish the distress of those who cannot get bread, or that abating the duties on oils, drugs, and dye-stuffs, will give em ployment to our cotton and woollen manufactures. Any measures which relieve the present alarming and dan gerous distress must command our approbation ; and so earnestly do we desire to see the people relieved that we shall rejoice much to see the effects of the tariff surpass the most extravagant expectations. Some interest has been excited by Lord PALMERSTON having asserted on Wednesday night, that "one of the first acts of the Tory President of the Board of Control was to write to ask Lord AUCKLAND to retain the Go vernor-Generalship of India !" Last night, Mr. B. Es corr gave this statement a contradiction, almost, as he said, on authority ; and to refute the contradiction Lord PALMERSTON said, that— The ground he had for making the assertion was an extract from a private letteri addressed by a member of Lord Auck land's family in India to another member of his Lordship's fa mily residing in England, which letter was in his possession, arid an extract from which he would read to the House.— (Hear. ) The letter was dated Calcutta, November 20, 1841, and after expressing regret that the last mail had not brought out the appointment of Lord Auckland's successor, the writer proceeded to say, " In fact, it is lucky that Lord Auckland has sent home his resignation, for Lord Ellenborough writes a most friendly letter, wishing him very much to remain, and stating that he has no doubt but that they shall get on very well toge ther."—( Cheers.) We place the authority prominently before our readers, and leave them to judge whether it bears out the asser tion we have quoted. The Herald of yesterday in aniarticle denunciatory of Mr. Sergeant MURPHY'S motion for repealing so much of the old municipal law of Ireland as regulates the tem poralities of the Established Church of that country, observes with more than Grandame prudence and saga city : The Church o f Ireland has already suffered too much in its emporalities ; and any further appropriation or deprivation of its revenues, whether proposed by Goverment or the Opposi ti,n, must be resolutely opposed by all who desire to ensure the continuance of the Establishment either in England or Ireland. The tbundation then of the Established Church of England and Ireland is money—is the Mammon of Ini quity. Only destroy the temporalities of the Church, admits the pious and venerable Herald, and the spill tualities all disappear. The ten persecutions of the Christians ender the Roman Emperors assisted so.much towards the propagation of the faith, that it passed into a proverb among the early Fathers that the " blood of the martyrs was the seed of the Church." Had these wicked Emperors, according to the reasoning of the Herald, instead of cutting off the heads of Chris tian ecclesiastics or casting them alive into amphi- beatres to be devoured by wild beasts, only eon- trived to take away their stipends, the Christian religion would have long since disappeared from the world. Cease to tax the Roman Catholics of Ireland for the maintenance of the Protestant Church, and from that moment, quoth the Herald, it ceases to exist. The entire staff of the Establishment, consisting of arch bishops, bishops, deans, rectors, curates, chaunters, clerks, pew-openers, and grave-diggers, dies of inanition %he instant it is left to subsist on the charities of pure -rotestants. No penny, no paternoster. But the worst of the business is the paternoster must be paid for by the person for whom it is not offered as a prayer but as a malediction. Now we protest entirely against this doctrine. We contend that the burdens imposed upon the Irish Catho lics for the maintenance of the Protestant Church have destroyed the influence of that Church in Ireland. No• thing can prosper long which has dishonesty for its basis. Now the Protestant Church in Ireland was founded in fraud, in violence, in oppression, and in open and avowed robbery. It has not prospered, and it never can prosper while this system continues. Bishops, indeed, may fatten, and rectors grow rosy in the gills, but there will be no increase of the flock. The State shepherds may pipe it merrily, but their starveling herds will dis perse in search of other pastures and pen-folds. If it be of more importance that there should be a rich priesthood than a believing people, then the Irish Established Church, as it now exists, ought by all means to be supported, but not otherwise. Were it left wholly to us to adopt measures for extending the reformed faith in Ireland, we would begin with abolishing all compulsory payments by Ro man Catholics, Presbyterians, Quakers, and other Dis senters, towards the support of any religion in whose tenets they did not believe. We would arm the minis ters of the Christian religion with the Gospel instead of with a dragooning, robbery-enforcing Act of Parlia ment, and send them forth as missionaries of peace, and love, and charity towards all, instead of, as vampires, to feed upon the corpse of the Church of Rome. Bt* the evil complained of by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY last night, is one so recently created that even precedent cannot be pleaded for its continuance. Before the passing of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, the Irish corporations were composed entirely of Protestants, and they imposed what charges they pleased upon the inhabitants of corporate towns to maintain the Church. This was perfectly justifiable, when the Act of 1675, which gave them that power, was passed. The Catholics were then excluded from residence in corporate towns, so that the impost was levied upon Protestants. Gradually the penal statutes fell more or less into desuetude. The Catholics clustered round the outskirts of the towns, gradually gained a footing within them, and now form the majority of the inhabitants. They, therefore, naturally ask the House of Commons to protect them against the injurious operation of a law which the framers never contemplated would affect them, and immediately a shout is raised of the " Church in danger." What surprisingly thick skulls those men must have who scribble Church articles for Tory journals. In the course of Thursday's important debate on Mr. BANNERMAN'S motion, Mr. WALLACE, after telling the Nftnistry flatly that want of confidence in their caring for a famishing people was an additional reason for his supporting the motion, read some useful papers to the House. One of these showed that it was by no means uncommon to apply public money to execute great national works, which, in fact, was employing those out of work in a legitimate manner from the public purse. lie showed that with road-making, forming harbours, canals docks, bridges, and a great many other things, and, among other less worthy purposes, the building of churches, where probably none were required, that up wards of nine millions of money had been expended, and that six or seven millions more had been lent on Exchequer Bills for similar purposes. And the Hon. Member contended that there never was a time when grants of public money would be so thankfully received and so well applied as now, for the execution of useful national improvements in any part of the empire. He then quoted the following from a speech of" the Heaven born Minister," Mr. PITT. It was on his seeing a Deputation from Bolton respecting a law about wages, that Mr. PITT said, " But this law won't protect you from being again visited by distress; whenever that shall happen, apply to Parliament. If Parliament is not s itting, it must be convened ; if it cannot give you relief, 1 its functions are at an end. Tell not me that Parliament is I unable. Parliament is omnipotent to protect." "So I say,' said .Mr. WALLACE. Parliament is able to protect, and must be made willing. The Iron. Member concluded his very animated, though short, speech, by d ec l ar i ng his willingness to bring OR the repeal of the present Corn-law in the present session, and to join in any measure, even in that of stopping the supplies, unless Ministers should make an explicit declaration in the House that they would resort to the measure under con-, sidWation, br others, rather than allow the farnishy ng mil. lions to die, as they must do, if no other relief were derived than charitable contributions. Nothing can be more insulting to the Christian Powers than the pertinacity with which the Porte con- roues to keep a force of from three to five thousand Arnauts in Syri a . Thi s horde of ruffians is guilty of the most brutal excesses, especially towards the Chris tians, for whom they 'entertain the most violent hatred. A circumstance recently took place which brought even the commander of this brigand force to his senses. An officer belonging to the French corvette La Surprise was beaten in the streets of Beyrout by an Arnaut soldier. The Commandant demanded the public punishment of the ruffian, but MUSTAPHA PACHA equivocated, and endeavoured to screen the offender. The gallant Frenchman at once cleared his vessel for action, and threatened unless the punishment was publicly inflicted within one hour, to burn the Arnaut camp. This had the desired effect. The fellow was publicly bas tinadoed in the -presence of the French officers, and all the civil and military authorities of Beyrout, and an humble apology tendered in person by the Commander of the Arnauts to the Captain of the corvette. Were such a course always taken by the Christian Powers, there'would be less to fear from the fanaticism of the Turks. 'We have received A'rddrid Journals of the 29th ult. The Madrid Gazette states . that 30,000,000 reals only of the loan of 1,600,000 having been adjudicated at twelve per cent. discount on the 27th, other offers should be re ceived at the Treasury for the. 10,000,000 remaining on the 30th. A Cadiz Journal announces that the plague, or what is more properly called the bubo dis temper, had manifested itself in Portugal. The proceedings of the Election Committees engross all the. attention of the French press. We begin to fear. from the fury displayed by the majority of the candidates, that the Ministry has but a poor chance of commanding a majority in the new Chambers. The more violently M. GIIIZOT is attacked by the different candidates, the more popular they appear to be. The French Government very foolishly meddles with many things, which it were wise to let alone. Thus, on Tuesday, as a number of citizens and National Guards of Paris, belonging to the 12th Legion, assembled to render the last honours to one of their comrades, M. BONY, a physician, a speech delivered over his tomb was interrupted by a Commissary of Police. On leaving the cemetery some National Guards were insulted by sub altern agents of that functionary, and an officer and several persons who had interfered were arrested. The Moneteur announces io its official part the receipt of answers from the Kings of Naples and Greece, to the notitica•• two of the birth of the Count d'Eu. Yesterday at half-past twelve o'clock there was a Council of Ministers at the. Tuileries, at which the King presided. The. Council sat till half-put two o'clock. After the Council the King visited the wbrks which are in progress for repairing the chapel and the theatre of the Tuilieries. The King set out on his return to Neuilly, at half-past five.

It seems that on Thursday she hired a wherry on the Surrey side of the Thames, and while the waterman was rowing her across the river, she suddenly threw her legs over the gunwale, exclaiming, " I'll jump overboard," whereupon the man replied, " Pray don't do such a thing as that, ma am, or you'll get me into trouble ; besides losing my time at the inquest !" The prompt attention to the interests of Num.. ber One evinced in this reply, is admirably characteristic of the man of buSiness. True, the waterman intreats the lady not to drown herself ' • but why ? B e ca use h e himself may be put to per s onal inconvenience, and pro bably be out of pocket by her suicide ! These are the considerations that weigh most with the aquatic philan thropist. Here the shoe pinches. Self takes the alarm— the interests of the pocket are in peril. Hence the wa terman's supplications ! If the lady would but throw her -se2f out of any other boat ; or if she would only assure him that he should not be summoned to attend the inquest, and thereby run the chance_ of losing a fare, then be would be the last person on earth to thwart her wishes ; but a plunge head foremost into the water from his own wherry, without any.such assurance, is not to be thought of. 'Under such circumstances suicide becomes quite unjustifiable, and accordingly the tender-hearted creature enters his most strenuous protest against it. A parallel case to the above may be found in the following advertisement, which was inserted in the daily papers some two years since :—" If the young gentleman who left his home last Friday, will not return to his distracted parents, he is at least requested to send back the key of the tea , ' caddy !" TRADE AND WAR.—We regret to see that one of our Contemporaries defends :the : war beyond the Indus on the ground that it was necessary to have Affghanistan in order to secure our trade in that river. No method will . more surely bring odium on trade than thus to make it the handmaid of war. The trade which cannot flourish without conquest approaches very nearly to rapine, and when politicians give that sort of protection to trade they degrade it into plunder. CP ' „•. 40 —# - 4.1 •. .... e ir l4 " C '%. Alf*, • 6 . 1 -. • - a: ;n, LONDONr SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1842. The debates on Mr. WALLACE'S, and on Mr. BANNER MAN'S motions, are some of the most important of the Sesiion. Their measures certainly want the one great recommentlation of all Sir ROBERT PEEL'S measures, the certainty; namely, of being carried ; but they have never theless the higher virtue of being eminently useful. They have turned the thoughts of Members of Parliament and of the public in a right direction, and they have convinced even the Members themselves of the uselessness, if not ofthe mischievousness, of the measures which they have passed, because they had the single merit of being pro posed by Sir ROBERT PEEL. Only now, apparently, has any knowledge of the true state of the country penetrated into the House of Com mons, and all the Members, Premier and all, seem suddenly awakened and alarmed at the consequences of their own actions. They can no longer disguise from themsebies the existence of terrible and wide-spread dis tress ; nor for one moment doubt that the measures of Sir ROBERT PEEL have. increased our calamities. Mr. WA Lt. tCE and Mr. BANNERMAN will not be able to inflict new laws on the community, but, they have establisheZ. some important truths. This is one prodigious advan tage which the debates they have provoked have had over most of the preceding discussions. They seem also to• have had the effect of sifting and separating parties. -Mr. MoNcEToN MILNES on Thurs day spoke and voted against Sir RonEnT PEEL. The upright and sincere amongst his followers begin to perceive that - party considerations must give way in the present awful. state of the country ; and very soon other re-11, , ctinv tnerslike, Mr. MONCKTON MILNES, will shudder at bacritieing the peace of the community at the shrine of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S unprincipled ambiCon. Lord J. RUSSELL voted one way, Mr. I.it.AcAut.Ay and Lord Howie': another. The two latter prefer the pub lic safety to technical considerations. They come more to the popular side as their former leader sides with the Tories. Lord JOHN RUSSELL seems to prefer the Go vernment to the community, and he trusts to Sir RO BERT PEEL rather than vote for a law which might com pel him to act. He speaks and votes under the -respon sibility of being soon again in office, and he would forego the substantial benefit to the public for which Mr. MACAULAY and Lord HowicE voted, rather than infringe the power he expects again to wield. There are, indeed, rumours afloat of a coalition . be tween him and Sir ROBERT PEEL, but were it to take place, what more could their united strength in Parlia ment accomplish than has. been accomplished by Sir It. PEEL ? All his measures are carried, and at the very moment and height of his triumph in Parliament events Itve.cc.)inpktely defeated him. He has succeeded in the 'ouse of Otunmotts, but failed in the country. UnSup ported by the Press, surrounded by followers who no longer trust him, shunned and dis liked. by opponents, whom he has deprived of .olliee; while he has been compelled to adopt einciples of their policy; he is obviously in a far VOT.,:ft Position after the most brilliant Parliamentary succor , than when he entered office. A union between itim and Lord Jon); RUSSELL could not increase their ; and, were it to take place, it would only Alemage the character of both, without enabling them vornbined to conquor those events to which Sir IL PEEL :singly has succumbed. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL cannot )kope by any union with Sir RoBERT PEEL to enable fill e . Government to master events, the preferable course for him is to become, if possible, the loader of that po lio , which is adapted to them, and which is stronger dtart the p rese nt strong Government. .sir 11.

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.—An imposing de monstration took place in the parishes of Murroc and Abington on Sunlay last, when persons, to the number of fifty thousand, assembled to hail the arrival there of Father Mathew, where he had been invited to administer the pledge. Deputations from several societies presented him with addresses. After the greater part of the day had been spent in administering the pledge to postu lants, this immense concourse quietly broke up. Among the forty-two passengers who departed yesterday on board the Princess Victoria, were the Eng lish crew of the steamer British Queen, on their return to England. In passing this noble vessel, they saluted her with three hearty cheers.—Antiverp Paper. We are assured that the crew of the British Queen is to be composed solely of men and officers of the Belgian navy. Captain Claes, now conimanding one of the gunboats, stationed in the Scheldt, has received the appointment of second captain on board this steamer. 'I bey are occu pied at this moment in taking on board a pretty large quantity of goods, and her departure is fixed for next Thursday at ten o'clock in the morning. —Journal de Commerce. . _ IN ,r• EWSVENDERS' DINNER.—A custom has prevailed for several years past amongst the proprietors of the leading journals of the metropolis, of contributing donations for the purpose of giving a dinner to the London newsvenders. and the boys who carry out:newspapers. Thi4an'nual festival was heldon Thursday at the White Conduit-house Tavern, where upwards of 1,100 persons, including the boys, and their female friends or relatives, sat down to an excellent dinner. As a great por tion of the guests could not leave their engagements during the day time, a supper was served at eight o'clock, for those who were not able to attend the dinner. Mr. Wild, of Catherine street, took the chair, and in proposing the Queen's health, he adverted to the recent attempt which had been made upon her Majesty's life, by a miscreant member of their calling; but as he wished the world to know that the newsvenders would yield to no class of her Majesty's subjects in devotion sad loyalty, he called upon them to fire upon her Majesty in another way, and show that the flock was not spoiled by one black sheep. A most terrific hurrahing and clapping of hands succeeded this outburst of loyalty, shortly after which the company dispersed in the fine gardens adjoining this establishment, where a con cert, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, had been pre pared for their entertainment. The rooms were thrown open for a ball at nine o'clock, and the festivities were prolonged to a late hum this morning. We learn from Baden the arrival there of M.

The Belgian Journals speak of reprisals and measures against France to compel her to adopt a more liberal system of customs. The pretensions of the Belgians are truly absurd ; one would almost suppose from what they say feat they were in a condition to impose upon UR any tariff they chose. We do not in the slightest degree approve of the consideration, which has been manifested for th e G overnment o f King Leopold, or of the long negotiations which were one of the causes of the delay in the promulgation of the Ordonnance." Never, says the Univers, had the periodical press so many candidates fur Parliamentary representations as at this moment. Amongst those of the Paris press are the following dud edi tors :—Leon Faucher, of the Courtier Francais; Lesseps, of the Commerce; Bastide, of the National; Chambolle, of the Siecle ; de Genoude, of the Gazette de France; Walsh, of the Mode ; Pages (de l'Arriege), of the Pattie; Emile tie Girar din, of the Presse. The other journalists are MM. Saint-blare Girardin, de Salvandi, and Michel Chevalier, of the Debate; Louis Be) baud, Duvergier de Hauranne, and de Came, of the Reveu des Deux- Moudes ; and Blanqui, of the rier Fran cais. Amongst the ex-editors ana contributors to Journals are MM.

A letter of the 2d inst., from Bruges, says that the rye har vest had been begun for several days, and promised largely both in quantity and quality. The weather had been also very fa vourable for the potatoes and wheat. A letter from Villefranche, in the Courrier de Lyon, says— " The vineyards in this arrondissement are not so promising as they were about a month ago. We reckon that about one fourth has been destroyed by the flies and worms, and the hail which has fallen on several communes. Still there is a stagna tion in the sale of wines. This is partly attributed to the sus pension of the silk manufactories at Lyons lessening the con sumption. The price of corn still keeps up. The harvest has begun in the canton of Villefranche. A great portion of the rye is already cut, and the produce will be abundant. The same is expected from the wheats. A fall in the price may be looked for when the whole is got in. The late rains have had a beneficial effect on the potatoes and other productions of the earth." A letter from Smyrna, June 19, states that the French squadron, under the orders of Admiral de la Susse, had arrived there, and wapexpected to remain some time. The following circular to the European Consuls was issued by the Pacha of Tripoli, Askar Ali, after the defeat and destruc tion of the Arab chief, Abdel Gelid :—" We have the honour to inform their Excellencies, the Consuls-General, who represent the friendly Foreign States, that by intelligence received from our Imperial camp, we have heard with great pleasure that the rebel, Abel Gelid, and his brother, Sefenassar (whose heads have been cut off), and all the chiefs of the rebels, with their whole force, have been made prisoners. Now the commerce of Fezzan will be opened, and we see with satisfaction that the mercantile transactions between Tripoli and those countries will be renewed as in ,past times." The Borsenhalle of Hamburgh states that the municipal authoritiesof Hanover have addressed to the General Assembly of the States a petition, protesting strongly against the project of uniting that State to the German Customs' Union. The principal argument of the petition is, that such an act would be fatal to the trade of the country. A Berlin letter gives the following account of an accident on the Potsdam railroad on the 24th ult., somewhatsimilar to that at Meudon, but happily without fatal consequences. Some sparks from the engine set fire to one of the waggons. The passengers, perceiving the smoke, were anxious to get out, but the doors were fastened. Their cries, however, were heard by the conductor, who immediately opened the doors, and the tra vellers escaped without injury. The fire was soon extinguished. PARLIAIMENTAILY. Some discussion took place in the Lords on presenting petitions concerning the evidence collected by the Com mi,sioners for inquiring into mines, and several Noble Lords spoke slightingly of the course taken by the Com missioners. After a. good deal of conversation on the subject, Lord Hatherton gave notice of a motion for Tuesday, for a Committee to inquire into the statements of the Commissioners. There is to be an inquiry into the inquiries. The Bill itself, in the course of the evening, was referred to a Select Committee, which must delay it for a considerable period. The Customs' Duties Bill was read a third time and passed, after a division, when 9 voted against the Bill, and 52 for it. The other business done by the Lords was unimportant. In the Commons a question was asked about our treaty with Brazil, which only elicited from Sir R. Peel the old statement that the Brazilian Government deems that treaty to be at an end in 1842, and our Go vernment not till 1844. No notification, he said, had been given by the Brazilian Government of an intention to propose to the Chambers a higher rate of duties on British goods. An indication of the approaching end of the Session is to be found in Sir James Graham having declined to proceed with the Ecclesiastical Corporation Leases Bill this session. Lord Eliot said he had no intention of passing a Medical Charities Bill for Ireland this ses sion, though lie meant to bring in one. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said the same as to a Bill for altering law licenses (Ireland). The adjourned debate on Mr. Wallace's motion was resumed by Mr. O'Connell, in an able and outspoken speech. The debate was continued the whole evening, though it was pretty much on one side, only Mr. B. Escott, Mr. Grimsditch. and Mr. Ferrand having spoken on the Mi nisterial side ' • while, on the Opp os i t i on , M r . P. M. Stewart, Mr. Marsland, Mr. Childers, Mr. M. Philips, Mr. R. Yorke, General Johnston, Mr. Leader, Mr. C. Buller, Mr. Ewart, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. Villiers, all delivered able speeches on the motion. On a division, the resolutins were lost by 174 to 49. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Three o'Clock: PUBLIC OPINION. We take the following from the Chronicle :—" The Royal letter appears to be a failure. At least, we have only seen about 20,0001. advertised ; of which, according to the calcula tion we made the other day, 4,0001. is taken from the charity bread of the poor by the bread-tax for the benefit of the Dukes of Richmond, Buckiegliam, and their class of landed proprie tors. That sum of 4,0001. would indeed do much in the Grange-moor, and Whitley district, amongst the worsted weavers. It would munificently replace all that the poor crea tures get by consigning their children to the coal-pits. But the Ducal monopolists and their class show no disposition to relinquish it ; nor the Government to compel them, had it the power. No likelihood appears that wheat will be liberated, duty free, to make charity-bread. The case of the famishing worsted weavers must therefore come under the general prin ciple. They must be allowed, by the repeal of the Corn• laws, to earn their food of the foreigner ; and they might yet so earn it; or they must be supported by those who still retain the ability until that ability is exhausted, and all sink together into one mass of wretchedness and desperation. Let Lord Ashley's Bill pass ; every good principle in our nature cries aloud for its adoption; but let it not pass merely to tax and despoil those who already are more than half famished." The Times remarks, in an article suggested by the present distressed state of the country :—" Let us see how this matter stands. It is generally true, that as long as there are more hands in any part of the country than there is employment to absorb those hands, so long will the employers of the working classes be able to obtain their labour at such terms as will barely support life—leaving them without a possibility of mak ing provisiou for the future, and therefore involving their utter destitution when thrown out of employ. And it is not very easy to say who is exactly chargeable with this grinding sys tem. Indeed, it is not so much traceable to any single class as to the system of eager competition in saving or making money, which is so grievously characteristic of this country. The public will always hunt out the cheapest shop at which they can buy their goods ; 'the tradesman vc ill al ways strive to undersell his rivals, and to do so must drive as hard a bargain as he can with the manufacturer; and the ma nufacturer, in the present crowded state of the market, cannot preserve the custom of the retail dealers, except by such a re duction of price as can only be accomplished by pressing down to starving point the wages of his workmen. The public screws the tradesmen, the trademan screws the manufacturer, and the manufacturer screws the working mechanic. If this last could insist on higher or fairer terms, neither tradesman nor manufacturer would be worse off—each must and each would have his profit, but that profit would come, as it should. out of the pockets of the public. As it should, we say, for we have no right to the luxuries with which this age abounds un less we are ready to maintain in comfort these to whose labour we owe them. And why does not, why cannot, the working man insist upon this just profit from his work? Because his alternative is the workhouse." The Post says—" We have frequently said that though we do not think the changes of the new tariff are needful, or that they will do any good, yet we are by no means so much alarmed at them as we are at the promulgation of the principles upon which they are avowedly founded. We believe these principles to be most pernicious to this country in the state in which it is, and in which it is likely to be. We can conceive the circum.: stances of a country to be such, that free-trade principles might be applied to it with advantage. But in the circumstances ' of this country it cannot bear the operation of free-trade prin ciples, and we believe that if persisted in , revolution and ruin must be the consequences. We may stand against what h as been done, though we think it a step in the wrong direction, and not called for by the existing circumstances of the country; but if the principles avowed by the leaders in the Legislature be persevered with (and we know not how they can be receded from without a great loss of character,) then we think the People of this country must look forward to convulsion or to decay." The following is from the Thrall:—" Were our ports thrown open to A mer i can fl our to-morre w, the immediate consequence would be a ge nera l suspens i on of e mployment from panic in the agricultural districts, and a considerable impulse to inanufac turing acti v it y ; t h ere would b e an instantaneous transference of distre ss f rom Al anchester to Buckinghamshire. Any imme diate benefit from an abolition of the Corn- law i 3 therefore a matter of uncertainty, while ultimate disaver is almost certai n . What guar an t ee h ave we that the ' pros perity' of manufactures, created by this transference of distress from one district to an other, would be of a different character, or productive of other ultimate re,ults, than was the ' prosp e rity' of 1838 ? Would not the history o f the past be repeated—would not the produc tion of cotton fabrics once more outstrip consumption, and the means of subsisti n the labour eng a g ed in their pro duction—wonld not th e 'home migration' process be renew , d —would not new batches of cotton lords and new stacks of cotton chimneys start up—would not goods be made faster than corn can be grown—would not over -production be again the order of the day —and the world's market be reglutted with our goods? That such would be the case we have the authority of no less a person than Mr. Cobden himself." MONEY —TRADE—COMMERCE. The very large revenue of Greenwich Hospital is principally derived from the estates of the extinct Earldom of IDertwent water, in the north, which, under the management of the Commissioners, produces 25,000/. per annum, and the freight or treasure brought from abroad, which realises on the average 10,000/. per annum. The new gold coinage was issued yesterday at the Bank in the payment of the dividends. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. A numerous attendance of the Middlesex Magistrates was held nn Thursday, at the Clerkenwell Sessions-house to consider the intention of Government to establish a permanent Metropolitan Court, which is considered to be expedient as a frequent tribunal for the trial of common larcenies and frauds within the district, with the appointment of Judges, Magis trates, &c. Correspondence has passed between the County Magistrates in Committee, and Sir James Graham on the subject, approving of some proposal s , an d re j ect i ng others, for adoption. ECCLESIASTICAL. From the first Annual Report of the Committee for new Bishoprics in the British dependencies, it appears that last year New Zealand was erected into a Bishopric, the Rev. George A. Selwyn, Bishop. Gibraltar is about to be made an Epis copal See, the Rev. G. Tomlinson to be Bishop. Van Die men's Laud is to be formed into a Bishopric, the Rev. Francis R. Nixon to be Bishop ; and further means are now devising for erecting other Bishoprics in the large dioceses of New Brunswick and South Australia. 1,11.1747 111 VD POLICE, On Saturday last a fire broke out in one of the trucks of the goods train on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, while passing through Defford and Eckington. As the velocity in creased the fire spread to four other trucks, and property to the amount of about 7001. was burnt. The trucks belonged to the Grand Junction Company, and were laden with Manchester goods. A spark falling from the chimney is supposed to have caused the fire, which was extinguished by water at Eckington. Queen Christina of Spain removed for the summer to the Chateau of Malmaison, on Monday last. Her Majesty caused all the emblems which reeilled Napoleon and Josephine to be preserved and carefully repaired. A serious accident happened on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on Tuesday, by contact of two trains, by which one passed over the other, and three persons were injured, the first having his legs broken. THE JEWS OF DAMASCUS. Extract from a letter from an English traveller, dated Damascus, June 5, 1842, addressed to Sir M. Montefiore: " I received visits from the principal Jews of the city, the Harraris, Farlthis, &c. , &c., and returned th em . "In the houses of the ews of Damascus there is an appearance of well-doing, and in their persons and man ners there is an air of good breeding and cleanliness which pleased me much. I have heard from their own mouths the details of their horrible sufferings, but now thank God, they enjoy much respect and consideration, and are happy. hie three brothers Harrari, who are under British protection, hare, at the instigation of our worthy and intelligent Consul, Mr. Wood, emancipated the slices who were in their possession, and are doing their best to cause the other Jews of Damascus to do the same act. r think they will succeed. CHURCH-RATES. UNSEEMLY CONDUCT OF THE ARCHDEACON —• OF HALIFAX. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. The past week has been signalised in Halifax by one of those contests, no less disgraceful to the Church than injurious to its interests—the attempt to enforce a Church-rate. fast year the Church party carried a rate of lid. in the pound without opposition. Encouraged by this success, they have this year waxed bold enough to attempt to levy a rate, out of which various adornments of the Church were intended to be defrayed—such as covering the oak-painted doors with crim son cloth, &c. The rate was refused by a large majority at the meeting of rate-payers, when a poll was demanded by the Church party, which has been kept open three days—the Arch deacon himself being present in the poll-room nearly all the time—a fact of which the intending voters were made duly aware, yetthis strange exercise of the influence of the Vicar was not enough. He even interfered by asking the anti-rate voters various questions, and in some eases threatened them with a citation into the Ecclesiastical Court, which threat he has since publicly declared it his intention to carry into effect. The result of the poll declared on 111,,nday gives a majority of 1,0:20 against the ra , e. Surely the " greatest enemies of the Church ' are those of her own house."

IMPORTANT TO CREDITORS UNDER BANKRUPTS' ESTATES.—The Commissioners of the Court of liankrupty are, we understand, immediately about to cancel all dividend cheques, now in the hands of the official assignees which are above six months old. New cheques will be i , sued from time to time on the application of the parties entitled; but as this may be attended with some difficulty du r i ng th e l ong vacat i on, and cspecialy whil e he accountant's office is elOsed, creditors will du well to claim their dividends without further delay. CosvlcT PRAxcis.—So great Was the secrecy observed in the removal of the abovQ convict from Newgate, that scarcely any of the officials were aware of the fact until some time after he had left. The Grand Jury, on terminating their labours on Wednesday, requested permission to see him, when they were informed that he had actually left the prison, and was on his way to Gosport. The answer was considered by several persons as a polite mode of declining to make Fran cis the subject of an exhibition similar to those which have been recently so much complained of ; but it is now quite certain that he had leftsome hours previously. It was on Thursday stated that on the arrival of Francis at Gosport he was placed on ' hoard the York, bound to Australia. This was a mistake, the York is one of the general recei v i ng s hip s , an d F ranc is will b draughted into the first vessel carrying out co n victs to Norfolk lblane; The Report of the visiting Justicesstates the e number of pri soners now in the Howe of Correction at 1,093; in the New Prison in Middlesex, 119. The Commission for the County of Clare As4zes, was opened at Ennis on Saturday, when Baron Richards delivered his charge to the Grand Jury, relative to the provision riots, and the homicides connected therewith, in which thirty-eight policemen and two officers are implicated. The Jury have, by the last news, entered on investigation of the case. R . X :a F 3. The intended sale of the Cardinal Fesch's rich collection of pictures shortly to take place at Rome, will, it is expected, attract thither a crowd of the most eminent amateurs from all parts of Europe. I.i.'III2ATEY AND SCXENTIFXC. The process of saturating wood with metallic solutions, such as oxide of iron, has of late been found to render it perfectly uninflammable. Pieces of Canadian fir, thus impregnated, are now placed on a fierce coke fire, and become only hot, and scarcely charred. A human skull has lately been found in a stone coffin near the " standing stones at Lundin," at Sunny Braes, in Scotlat.d. The latter are believed to have been pat up f,,r memorials of Scottish or Danish nobles slain in the battle between Habba, brother to the King of Denmark, and Constantine 11., in the year 874. The skull is supposed to be one of these heroes. COUIVr-r.EISILION.III3I,E. The Earl and Countess of Shannon are entertaining com pany at their splendid seat, Castle Martyr, Ireland.

The reigning Prince of Sax e C o b urg trave ll e d from Leige to Ostend, by a special train, the day before yesterday. His Highness is going to England.— Moniteur Beige. His Highness the Heriditary Prince Ernest of Saxe Coburg, nephew of the King of the Belgians, and his consort, arrived at Ostend yesterday afternoon, from Leige. Apartments were prepared for them at the residence of M. Vuleke-Deknurgt, Consul of the Netherlands, where their Highnesses alighted. Yesterday afternoon, at a quarter past four, when the last train left Ostend for Brussels, their Majesties the King and Queen had not arrived on their return from London. They are, however, expected to arrive this afternoon by the Widgeon, which will convey Prince and Princess Ernest to London. Lord Ponsonby, late Ambassador of her Britainnic siajesty at Constantinople, and who was English Minister at Belgium at the commencement of our Revolution, arrived at Brussels yes terday evening. His Lordship has come from Constantinople by way of Italy and Germany. The lovers of fencing experienced a treat on Friday at the Queen's Concert-room, Hanover-squaro. T o fencing was superadded a m us i ca l concert, by some of ih • first foreign and native artistes. We shall briefly dis miss the latter, remarking in passing that it quite realised all that was e, p .cted. We may particularise a duetto by Mlle. E. Grisi and Signor Campioni. from Donizetti, which was greeted with enthusiastic marks of adrniratit In fenckg, the parte prima of the pr,gramme commenced by Messrs. Moudhair and Germain taking the foils, after whom came Mr. Burk. Signor Picconi, Mr. L. Gillmon•l, Signor Gandrini, Signor Jackson, M. LeOn Gillmond, M. llochmont, Signor Gandrini, and Mr. Harri. • i. This last was an exceedingly well contested bout, and, prejudice apart, we were happy to see that cur country man had the best of it. But the grand attraction of the evening was the sabre assault oetwten Signor Gandrini and Sergeant M-Naughten, of the Grenadier Guards. The latter had, in a previous part of the • evenimi', very cleverly put Mr. Germain hors de combat, at the old Eng lish game of " single stick," and the syrnpathiez of the English portion of the audience were, therefore, rather strongly elicited in his favour. After the usual shouts of impatience for the great stars of the evening. Signor Gandrini and Sergeant M•Naugh ten appeared, and sit to with naked sabres, We observed some beautiful thrusts, as beautifully parried ; but the Sergeant was evidently the better man. Ins antagonist, however, would not cry peecaci, although his " blood-stained vest ment " proved that the thing was beyond a joke. but unconsciously admitting his defeat, said that " vonee more" would decide. It did decide, as we strongly sus pect his shoulder will remind him for a good month to come. The Sergeant, after a well-contested sally, was nenz. con, declared the victor. Among the delighted spec tators we obse rve d M r. Bushman (of fencing notor i ety), Mr. Burdos, an d ot h er admirers of this no b le sc i ence. We were sorry to see that few of our English aristo cracy were present to enjoy the triumph of our English soldiery. • While thousands are lavished upon foreigners • who bring not real excellence, but a specious exterior, to Our markets, why should native talent pass unrewarded? 4.7 0 ,1 MONE Y and COMMERCIAL CITY FRIDAY EVII • The sales.of Stock for Money continued to be made ' #14.., amounts during the whole of the day, and necessari ly the market fat.
