PEEL, for the more effectual security of her MAJESTY'S person, and our readers will be glad to find that one of the punishments is " whipping," either private or public. We have ever been opposed to flogging in the army and navy, as well as to the whipping of boys for petty larceny, and still more co the whipping of old men—a punishment which a late Chief Justice frequently awarded ; and, indeed, so de grading and injurious to the future prospects of the suf ferer has this species of castigation appeared, that ninety-nine persons out of a hundred would have willingly voted for its total abolition. The heartless vagabonds, however, who have lately so cruelly annoyed our virtuous QUEEN, and dis graced their country, have no doubt materially altered public opinion, and not ninety.nine out of a hundred, but the whole community, will be glad to learn that the dis graceful punishment is to be continued on the statute book, at all events, for the especial benefit of this new class of offenders. The punishment should be made in public. Let it be inflicted in the presence of thousands, at the old place of execution, by the common hangman let the miserable victims of morbid notoriety have their fill of it in..this manner, once, twice, or thrice, as cir custances may require, and then be banished from the land they have made a bye-word among the na tions. All pity for such men becomes extinguished, when we reflect on the anguish which the QUEEN must suf fer, who of all Sovereigns on earth is the most innocent and most ardently attached to her people, and yet is ha rassed and attacked by her own subjects as if she were the most hateful of tyrants. The Bill last night could have been passed by acclamation, so cordially did it meet the views of every Member, but the Government pru dently preferred the usual course. Time, therefore, will be given for filling up with more deliberation the blanks in Committee, and one of these blanks, we trust, will be filled up with the word " public." The readers of The Sun can bear testimony to the fact, that the cause of general education has had few more zealous and untiring advocates among the public Press than this Journal. When it was first proposed by the late Government to grant a pittance of 30,0001. a-year for the education of the people—a proposal stre nuously resisted by the whole of the Tory faction now in office—we pointed out the notorious inadequacy of such a sum for such a purpose ; and called the attention of the then Chancelldr of the Exchequer to the shame lessness of voting 70,0001. for Royal stables, and only 30,0001. for the education of millions of her Majesty's British and Irish subjects. We premise these remarks to prevent the astonishment which we have to express at the conduct of the House of Lords last night from being misunderstood, or as indicating on our part any lukewarmness on the great subject of general education. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from Mr. HuLLAH's singing classes in Exeter Hall. or ganised under the direction of the Committee of Education of the Privy Council, praying that they might be allowed to participate in the Educa tion grant—a prayer which his Lordship, the Earl of LANSDOWNE, and Lord BROUGHAM, cordially supported, and in which the House, without a dissentient voice, concurred. Now, with the highest respect for Mr. HuLtaa's great abilities as a musician and a teacher of music—with the fullest conviction of the humanising influence of that divine science upon the minds of the people generally, we cannot but regret the inappropriate t oes of the time chosen for bringing the question vi musical science before the House of Lords. It can not but increase the public indignation at the conduct of that House on the preceding night, when the subject of discussion was not singing, but starvation. There are hard-hearted people who never relieve mendicants who cannot give exfpression to their miseries musically— in some touching street ditty or other—and the Lords are perfectly willing to qualify the starving millions to work upon the benevolent feelings of this numerous class of pauper supporters. They are to be made as musical in their miseries as distracted levers in an opera. For the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into a state of general, appalling distress, jeopardizing the health, the morals, and the lives of mil lions of the poor, only 14 votes were given in the House of Lords on Monday night, and on Tuesday night not a dissentient syllable is heard when it is proposed to grant public money to teach the poor to sing ! Noble Lords hare nice oars, but hard hearts. They are indifferent to famine among the industrious classes, provided the cadence: of its cries is musical. What more touching in an opera than a ragged beggar chaunting his woos at some Pdace's gate in strains worthy a WILSON pouring forth that most heart-thrilling and pathetic of BURN'S immortal ballads, " I'm wearing awe, Jean ?" We again repeat, that we are as cordial supporters of general education as any Peer in Parliament, and that too high praise cannot be bestowed upon Mr. HULLAII'S excellent system of musical education ; but the time chosen by the House of Lords for granting money to sup?ort it, is indicative of the greatest callosity of feeling, and hard ness of heart, towards millions of our industrious famish ing fellow-subjects. An express from Paris of yesterday's date informs us that the new Chamber of Deputies will wear pretty much the political complexion of the old. In the department of the Seine, where the fortifications have infused a war like spirit into the electors, Ministers have been defeated; but in the remote provinces, where no ramparts are to be found, the Cabinet has achieved a victory over the THIERS' party. The only decided gainers are the Legi timists, and they will not coalesce with the Rupublicans. Nevertheless, the result will shake the Guizor adminis tration. A letter from Brest says—" His Majesty's corvette, the Adour, Captain Touboulie, from the Antilles, arrived in the road of Brest on the 7th inst., at nine in the morning. " This vessel, which has a crew of 113 men, left Fort Royal, Martinique, on the 2Sth o! May, and 13asse Terre, Guadaloupe, an the 4th of June, It brings home 119 soldiers and sailors as passengers, amonc , whom there is a great many sick. " At the time when the Adour left, the sanatory state of the colonies was improving. The yellow fever bad ceased to be epidemic in Martinique and Guadeloupe. The crews of the ships on that station were in excellent health. 4 At Fort Royal, besides the vessels belonging.to the local station, these we the Nereide frigate, and the Alerte brig; at Basso Terre only the Jouvineille schooner." A letter from Leghorn of the 30th of June says— " The day before yesterday we saw on the offing the French squadron under the command of Admiral Hojon, consisting of twelve sail. At first we thought it was going to enter the road, but it was soon seen to steer towards the Levant. It is bilieved that h will go first to Naples and then to the coast of Eyrie." A letter from Rome of the 28th of June, published in the Augsburgh 'Gazette, says—" The negotiations with Portugal for regulating the ecclesiastisal affairs of that country, have so little chance of a successful issue, that llonsignore Capaceini ) has asked to be recalled. A congregation of Cardinals con voked on the occasion, was of opinion that he should be re quested to rem-in at Lisbon some time longer, in order to see whether the ortuguese Government might be induced to change its re ution. Wh e th er, as some J ournals affirm, j Austria has o ed its mediation , is not officiall y known here." —Le Commerce. A letter from Belgrade of the 24th, quoted by the Leipsic Gazette says—" Since the arrival of Colonel Duhamel, the Commissioner sent by the Ressian Government, the opposition .Boyard,s have been extremely elated. On the day he arrived the Colbael had a long conference with Prince Ghika, and has since been daily employed in reviewing the troops of the prin cipelity. In their petitions to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg and to the Divan, the Boyards complain that the effective force of the army is no more than 5,000 men, although a sufficient sum has been voted for the maintenance of 12,000 men. How ever this may be, the Colonel has communicated to Prince Ghika, a demand for the presentation of the ordinary budget .within twelve days. It is said that the Prince, irritated by this, has requiredlonger time. We are anxious to hear the re sult of these proceedings, because if the Prince should be con victed of having misapplied the public funds he may experience the fate of Prince alifosch."

The only gainers are the Legitimist party, and they are likely to support the Ministry. Of the result of 336 elections known in Paris on Monday afternoon a majority of 45 were Ministerial. The Opposition papers of Monday are in ecstaciea with the result. M. Thiers' organ, the Constitutionnel, exclaims rap turously—" The electors of the department of the Seine have replied nobly to the appeal wbich has just been made by the Crown to the country. Twelve colleges out of fourteen have made their returns ; ten of them are for the Opposition. All the old Deputies who declared themselves against the Ministry have been re-elected. In 1839, the Opposition obtained in the elections for the Seine, a total advantage of 1,847 votes. It has now a majority of 2,891. It is thus that the electors of Paris have expressed their opinions as to the' dispute between the Ministry and the Opposition." The Courrier Francais says—" The electors of Paris have nobly answered the appeal of the country, and have given a great example to France. Not only almost all the Deputies of the metropolis were Opposition candidates, but the Opposition has seen its majorities increasing, whilst, on the other hand, the Ministerial candidates have been either altogether aban doned, or have seen their best friends drop off from them in vast numbers. Three years have been sufficient to effect this im portant change—three years of an unpopular and anti-national Ministry have considerably increased in Paris the Opposition forces. The political grand jury of Pads has pronounced a solemn verdict against the Ministry ; the electors, with their hands on their conscience, before God and before men, have inflicted on the Ministry an irrevocable condemnation." We read in the National—" The victory is complete, de cisive, and far exceeding our hopes. The whole cou n t r y w ill thank the capital for having shown itself worthy of its fame. Whatever may be the general result of the electoral ballots, the city of intelligence—the city where the Government itself holds its seat—the place where persons can see most clearly the morality of public men and the working of the system— the spot, in fine, where all grand questions are de,cided—Paris, where the great mass of the electors escape corruption, has pro nounced its solemn judgment, and the Ministry of Foreign Powers has been struck to the heart—its course is run. This wretched Cabinet, which for two years has been overwhelm ing France with humiliations and insults—which knew not how to protect any class of interests, respected no liberty, awakened all the re-actionary enactments--this Cabinet trusted to stupid calumnies to deceive the intelligent population of Paris. The result has been its defeat, as no Ministry has been defeated since 1830." The Quotidienne has the following :—" It is the general opinion to-day that M. Guizot is a dead man, absolutely de funct. Some persons assert that he was so before the election, and perhaps the Conservative candidates were secretly informed of the fact. At least it is certain that they all disavowed him before the electors, and in the preparatory meetings, circulars, and professsons of faith, no person would be Ministerial." The Debuts does not attempt to conceal that the result of the Paris elections is not such as the Conservative party had hoped for, but it finds consolation in the fact that the old Con servative majority has not yet sustained any loss upon the total of the elections known. " The result of the Paris elections (says the Debats) will, no doubt, produce cries of joy from the Opposition Journals. We are the very first to acknowledge that this result has not answered our expectations. The Con servative party has lost two votes in Paris, and one at Etampes, and this is the whole extent of their loss. But we see at the, same time that they have gained three votes on the total of the returns of the departments as yet known. This equality be tween success and loss still leaves the balance in favour of the existing majority. Such is the true state of the matter." The Presse has the following :—" The Conservative party haslost two of its representatives in the capital, but by a small majority. This loss will be diminished by the election of its candidate at Saint-Denis, which was represented by an opposi tion candidate. The elections in the departments, as far as they are known, offer important compensations. We postpone all reflections until the ensemble of the electoral operations can be appreciated." The Porte has finally sold the Constantinople Custom-house for a sum which exceeds that yielded last year by 10,000 purses (50,00010, which is so much clear gain to the Government. As this arrangement must limit smuggling transactions, it will greatly benefit the fair trader. The late Grand Customer Tahir Bey has been appointed Master of the Mint. Sir John M'Neil left Constantinople on the 20th ult., to proceed home by way of the Danube. A fire broke out on the 18th in the Jewish quarter, and consumed about 100 wretched habitations and shops, together with a few good houses. Admiral Walker's house was very closely menaced; he removed all his furniture and effects. P.ILIZZIAIVEMITAILY. Lord Wharncliffe announced last night that the Government meant to remain perfectly passive in respect to the Collieries Bill. The Lords only received some petitions, and made some ob servations on Hu'lab's system, and on the system of education generally. Lord Wharncliffe rather flattered the nation, we are afraid, when he raid that would Parliament grant a suffi cient sum of money we should soon be the best educated people in the world. Parliamentary grants can do much, but we doubt their miraculous agency in converting an uneducated into an educated people. Sir R. Peel also, in the Commons, presented a petition from Mr. Hullah's classes, and expressed an opinion favourable to a grant. Sir R. Peel, with the unanimous approbation of the Heine, brought in a Bill for the better security of her Majesty's person, which was read a first and second time. The House was subsequently engaged with the Poor-law Bill in Committee. On a division, an amendment, moved by Mr. Sharman Crawford, to continue the Commission for one year only, was lost by 164 to 91 ; and the Commission conti nued for five years. The House adjourned at Quarter to Two o'Clock. plinlac OPINION. The Herald says of the recent debates in the House of Commons on the subject of national distress—" It is indeed quite impossible for any conscientious man to rise from an at tentive perusal of the recent debates without vexation of spirit —without coming to the conclusion that, if human wisdom have to emancipate this country from its present disastrous and dangerous condition, such wisdom is not yet patent to the nation, and that the necessities of the times demand a States man such as we have not. The country yearns for a great Minister; and it is because of the immeasureable superiority of Sir Robert Peel over his opponents that the country clings to the present Premier. Sir Robert Peel would be a treat Minister in tranquil and prosperous times ; it remains to be seen whether he will be a successful Minister in days of unparalleled difficulty and devastating calamity ; whether he can rise to the emergency into which com mercial disaster and political misrule have plunged the country. The Minister of England is held accountable—no matter with what measure of justice—for the national prosperity or adver sity which accompanies his Administration ; and if he cannot remedy distress and relieve suffering, his reputation suffers and confidence in his capacity is shaken. No man knows this better than Sir Robert Peel, and his knowledge thereof is the best assurance the country can have, that if he sees any broad, wholesome, enlarged, or permanent means of reviving pros.. perity, he will, at all sacrifices of party, at all risks of hostility, careless of offence, and resolute in good intent, summon toge ther this Legislature, if a deficient harvest should be added to our present misfortunes, and propound any plans which tranquil reflection may suggest, after the prorogation of the present session." The Times says—" The attempt of Ministers to persevere in carrying through the Poor-levy Continuance Bill in its present shape (if, indeed, that attempt is seriously to be made, which we very much doubt) cannot he too much regretted. It will fail of its object, and its only result will be to embarrass the Government, exasperate the people, and organize into syste matic action those obstructive tendencies which have of late shown themselves with so much activity in the House of Com mons. We speak now, net in the character (which we shall always most strenuously maintain) of opponents of thb New Poor-law, but as well-wishers to the peace and good order of the community, as friends, upon the whole, to the Conservative Government, and as enemies to every disturbance of the s ettl e d order of Parliamentary proceedings. Were we to regard the mat ter as mere factious opponents of the New Poor-law, we should say, let Sir Robert Peel go on by all means ; let him run his head against,this millstone ; let him weary out 1-;s friends and the country by an idle endeavour to do what in the nature of things cannot be done ; let him propose this new concession to the Somerset-house tyranny, at a time and under circum stances which give us the best possible chance of defeating it ; let him injure himself and the cause he patronizes by legislat ing for it in so indecent a manner as to produce among the poor the feeling of insult as well as that of disappointment. But these are lengths to which we cannot go; we should grieve to carry our point at so unnecessary an expense of character to the Conservative Premier. We shall be far better content to see him, deliberately and of his own free judgment, defer the consideration of this subject till a period when there will be time and opportunity to do it justice, even though he may then enter the field against us with a greater certainty of success." The Post, after taking Sir Robert Peel gravely to task for his politeness towards his political opponents, goes on to ob serve—" Notwithstanding the urbanity of the Minister to the mob calling itself the Anti-Corn-law League, which did him the honour to call upon him on Saturday—notwithstand ing his thanks to that mob for the representations which it made to him concerning the distress—we .can scarcely doubt that the Minister was by no means in want of any information which that mob could afford, and that he thought its visit ra ther intrusive than otherwise. It is said there is no disputing about tastes, but, as a matter of judgment, we must presume to doubt that any advantage whatever arose from the reception by Sir R. Peel of the mob calling itself the Anti-Corn-law League. The manners of the mob—judging from the reports in the newspapers of what it said—were rather familiar and offensive, and—considering what was notorious of its proceed ings—we think scarcely anything else could have been expected. We humbly submit that if such a body as this League' were not to be treated with stern contempt (which is the course of which we should have most approved) it certainly was not worthy of being received by the Minister, and attentively heard by him." We take the following from the Chronicle:—" It is a very odd idea, which the Duke of Wellington seems to entertain, that the evidence collected by the Commission of Inquiry into the employment of children in mines and collieries, would have been improved had it been taken upon oath. Not the least valuable portion consists of that which made itself obvious to the senses of the Sub-Commissioners. In a sufficient number of instances amply to establish the fact of brutal treatment, they saw its marks. Of bruises, maims, and disfigurements, they themselves became the witnesses. They had the species of proof which the patron saint of doubters was rebuked for de manding. Another part of the demonstration that reform is needed arises out of the gross ignorance in which the juvenile mining population grows up. Their minds are in a state of darkness, thick darkness which may be felt.' The ignorance they evinced could not be made more apparent by their hay inc, sworn to it. The children w h o can neither read nor write, and' to whom church, Sabbath, and school are only unmeaning words—N%hat could possibly be gained by administering zn oath to them ?" PUBLIC ZIVIqMOVENIZATTS. A new and splendid arcade is about to be erected, extending from Wellington-street North, immediately opposite to the portico of the English Opera House, to Catherin e - s t reet Strand. The boarding for it has been erected, and th e pre- ' liminary clearings for it already commenced. It is to be named the " Wellington Arcade." AG nICULTIMAI.. The great anniversary agricultural meeting, at Bristol, h as commenced with much spirit. Upwards of ten thousand per sons are expected to be there to-day, and the show promises to be very fine. ELECTIONZENING. Parnham Phillips, Esq., of Wendover, heir to a large landed property, but a strong advocate for the repeal of the Corn-law s , has commenced his canvass on the Liberal side against Captain Fitzmanrice for the forthcoming election for the county of Bucks. The nomination is fixed for Friday next, at Aylesbury. SPORTING. The Earl of Tyrconnell sailed his cutter yacht, the Intrepid, for the 1001. cup at the Guernsey regatta on Tuesday last. The winner, however, was Monro, Esq., in the Union yacht, of Cork, his Lordship's vessel coming in third. Prince Albert has purchased a pack of harriers, fifteen couple, from Smith, Esq., in the Isle of Wight, which are to be kennelled at Cumberland-lodge. The splendid hunting-stud of the Mar pis of Hastings, con. sisting of seventeen hunter s , was so ld at T a tt ersa ll' s the day before yesterday. NJLVAL Ann WZILITAILIT. The ordnance survey of Great Britain has reached, in its operations, the town of Manchester, where notice was posted on Monday, that the survey of the several towns there situated would be commenced on that day, as a warrant for the sur veyors entering on private grounds. At a Court-Martial held onboard the Camperdown at Sheer ness on Friday, Mr. James Balcombe, Master of her Majesty's ship, Larne, lately from China, was found guilty of neglect of duty, and sentenced to be dismissed the service. _ _ LAW AND At Abingdon, yesterday, John Lampert was indicted for a felonious assault upon Emma Chamberlin, a girl of 14 years of age. It was with great difficulty that the poor girl could be induced to state the circumstances which constituted the gravamen of the offence. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, when Mr. Justice Erskine, in passing sentence, said, " a very short time ago it would have been my duty to pass sentence of death upon you, but the law has substituted another penalty. The sentence is that you be transported for the term of your natural life." The Commission of Assize was opened at Northampton on Monday, by Baron Parke. The calendar contains the names of 21 prisoners for the county and borough, two of whom are charged with capital crimes—viz. Marianne Goss, aged 21, in. dicted for the wilful murder of Peggy Ward, in the parish of Weekly ; and Matthew Ashley, aged 19, for an unnatural crime. The other offences are of a minor character. At Durham, on the I 1 th inst., Wm. Simpson was indicted for feloniously wounding George Walter. It appeared that the prisoner and some others, on being refused admission to the house of the prosecutor's father's at klatc hour on Sunday,l9th Febru ary, to light their pipes, broke open the door, and, on being followed by the prosecutor and his brother, a scuffle took place, when the prisoner stabbed one brother on the breast with some sharp instrument, and severely wounded the other, who cried out, "Oh ! he's cut off my thigh." The Jury returned a ver dict of guilty, and the prisoner, who had a good character for previous peaceable conduct, was sentenced to be transported for 15 years. The assizes of the county of Louth, quite at variance with the Limerick assizes, and others in Ireland, were closed on Thurs day, at Dunkirk, when Judge Perrin, addressing the Jury, said, " I am happy to inform you, Gentlemen, that I think I am entitled to a pair of gloves, as there has not been a single con viction at these assizes." THEATRICAL. The Brighton theatre re-opens on Saturday next. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean are, we understand, engaged to appear there for a few nights. Perrot takes his benefit to-morrow at her Majesty's Theatre, on which occasion Cimerosa's Matrimonio Segreto will be per formed entire. CO 2T-FASHIONABLE. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk leave Norfolk House to day for Arundel Castle, Sussex. The Duke and Duchess of Buckingham receive a large circle at Stolse the week after next. The Marquis of Londonderry has returned to Holdernesse House. The Duke and Duchess of Leeds have deferred their dept. , tore from the Palace of the King of Holland, at the Loo, unti the 18th instant. The Duke of Rutland and party, in the Resolution schooner, sailed from Cowes on Friday on a cruise to the westward. The Earl and Countess of Eglinton left the Clarendon Hotel yesterday for Liverpool races. Lord and Lady Emlyn will leave St. Leonards in a few days, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Cawdor, at Cawdor Castle, Nairnshire. MISCELLANEOUS. The annual performance of Purcell's sacred music takes place to-morrow at ten o'clock, in Westminster Abbey. The Half-yearly Court of the Members of the Royal Humane Society took place yesterday, in Trafalgar-square, when the Report stated, that since December 57 lives had been success fully recovered from drowning in Hyde-park ; and in Ireland and other parts of the country, 51 out of 154 had been resus citated. The splendid contents of the Earl of Lichfield's mansion, Shugborough Hall, in Staffordshire, are to be open to view during the next seven days, preliminary to sale. The grand fete at Stafford House, for the benefit of the Poles, which takes place on Friday next, will, in addition to its brilliancy, have the attendance of Staudigl; Thalberg, Mario, Persiani, Lutzen, and, it is expected, of Listz. Miss Masson, the distinguished vocalist, has arrived in Lon don, having passed the last year in Italy. A meeting of the members of the Colonial Society met yes terday at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's, to express to Sir Charles Metcalfe the grateful sense entertained by the society of the benefits arising out of his government of Jamaica. An address and deputation were appointed. During the excavations making for the great water-tank at Windsor Castle, the arch of a deep and extensive well has been reached, which was first discovered in George the Fourth's time. Sir Jeffrey Wyattville then opened it, when bones of animals and rubbish were found : it is supposed to have been used formerly as a depository for treasure and other " valuable moveables" during a siege. The Pavilion, Brighton, is being repainted, by order of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. EXPRESS FROM PARIS PARIS, TUESDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK. Almost all the elections are now known. The more remote towns have elected Ministerialists, so that the balance is restored, and the Chambers will be divided much as the old, except that the Legitimists have cer tainly gained. The Conservatives and Dufaure party united present their majority. But even this is a blow to M. Guizot. Of fourteen Members for Paris, twelve are Opposition. But, on the whole, the losses and gains on eacb side are pretty nearly balanced. Three per Cents., 79f. 80c. THE COURT.—The return of her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Prince and Princess of Saxe Coburg, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Royal suite, to town from Claremont, has been deferred' from this day until Monday next. The reigning Duke of Saxe Meiningen, brother to-the Queen Dowager Adelaide, left town this morning for the Continent., MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. An improved tone is visible in the money market to-day, produced doubtlesi by the cause assigned last night, for the depression having been removed, and this favour able intelligence received this morning from France. Consols are 914 for money, and for Friday, and 914 for the August addount ; Three per Cents. Reduced 914 914 ; 1 bree-and-aHalf per Cents. Reduced, 1004 ; New Three-and-a-Half-per Cents., 994 991; Bank Stock, 166 167 ; India Stock, 249 250; India Bonds, 26 28; Exche quer Bills, Old, 48 50, and New, 46 48 prem. But little has been done in Foreign Securities, prices of which are, however, firm. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been sold at 514 ; and the Five per Cents., 1018. Some few bargains have been made in Mexican Bonds at 36 and 364. I !Shares have been almost totally neglected ; an advance has, however, taken place in Bright on , w hi c h h ave b een su ld at 344. The other transactions have been—Edinburgh and Glasgow, 434 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 14* ; Manchester and Leeds Quarters, 44; and South Eastern Scrip, 24. Spanish are the only bends quoted to-day, the Five and the Three per Cents. being marked exactly the same-214 214. From a communication made by Lord Canning to the Com mittee of Treasury Bondholders, it may be surmised that these long-neglected claimants have now a prospect that their case will shortly be taken into consideration. At a late meeting it was de termined that memorials should be addressed to the Regent and to the Finance Minister, which it appears were presented to Cala trava by our Minister, Mr. Aston, ,as soon as he was installed. That gentleman promised that the peculiar claims of these documents should have his earliest attention, with a view of examining into and settling them. General Sancho, the Ambassador from Spain, now resident here, has, it is stated, urged the necessity of immediately adopting some steps regarding them, and it is to be hoped, that a liquidation may be entered into. For many months so much animation has not been vi sible in the produce market as there has been to day. The business has been of the most extended kind, and there has been scarcely an article on which the duty has been lowered but what has been dealt in. The tariff may now be considered to be in full operation, and although in many respects it may net meet the necessity of —a perfectly free trade, yet it has given much satisfaction as ;approaching to an :approximation to it. Large quan tities of foreign corn have been cleared to-day, arising first from the scarcity of English at market, and the belief that the present duty of 9s. is not likely to be much lowered. The only arrival to-day is from Barbadoes. The papers re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house reach to the 9th June, brought by the steam-ship City of Glasgow, but they do not contain any news of the least interest. The Royal Mail Steam-ship Tay, arrived at Barbadoes on the 7th, in nineteen days and a-half, from Falmouth, all well. CLOSING PRICES. 13R1TISII FUNDS. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

The Delegates met again this morning at Herbert's Hotel (late Brown's), Palace-yard. The Chair was taken shortly before 12 o'clock. The Cuatearaer said, in opening the business of the day, that they ought not to be discouraged at their meeting not being se large as might be wished ; they must not regard them selves as a meeting of individuals; they were there as repre sentatives, and although their number as individuals might not be very large, yet probably they represented hundreds of thou sands. There were gentlemen there from very populous districts ; they must recollect that, and he trusted also that, applications having been made to various districts to send up Delegates whom business had called away, they should have in a few days a much larger attendance. A short conversation took place as to the probability of the Conference continuing to sit, during which The CHAIRMAN stated that the question hail been debated in the Committee, and it had been decided that for the present they should continue to sit, as some effect had been produced by their meeting. He informed the meeting that he had re ceived reports from Christchurch, Mar) lebone, and from :Mit cham ; but as they were to the same effect as the reports they had heard from so many other parts of the country, he should not detain the meeting by reading them. He then called on Mr. G. Tinomrsons, who rose and said, I respectfully beg permission to occupy a few moments of the time of this Con ference, for the purpose of offering some remarks upon the present state and prospects of the cauie which we are now prosecuting. lam the more anxious to do so, because lam conscious that the eyes of the country are upon us—( Hear ) and that it is therefore peculiarly important, that we should adopt every method in our power of giving expressions to our views, while at the same time, we sedulously labour to fulfil the duties which have been delegated to us.—(Loud cheers. ) It is to me, and must be to all of us, a source of unutterable thankfulness, that we are able, through the meslium of the • Press, to circulate far and wide, over the face of the land, the facts and opinions which are brought before this meeting.—(Cheers.) And I am tune I shall only he embody ing your feelings when I say, that we are deeply grateful to that very large and influential portion of the daily and weekly jour nals of the metropolis, who have aided our design, by giving se full and faithful a narrative of our proceedings.—(Loud and continued cheering.) Without the Press we should be able to do little.—( Hear.) Aided by so powerful an auxiliary, we are warranted in the belief, that we shall ultimately succeed in our efforts.—(Cheers.) I consider the information sent forth from this reom, and the impression'produced upon the public mind by that information, fully equal in value to the employment of fifty lecturers. But our thanks are due to the conductors and proprietors of the London Press, not only for the copious re ports they have furnished, but for the noble manner in which they have seconded our efforts, by the able and stirring appeals they have made in their editorial columns.—(Loud applause.) Sir, we have a thousand times confessed our inability to carry our point, unless assisted by the people ; and we know, from experience, that the people of this country can be effectually aroused and enlisted only by the constant repetition of facts and arguments in the public prints.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen may loudly demand the announcement and adoption of strong measures, but we reckon without our host, if we proceed in the absence of a full know ledge of the state of the public mind, and an enlightened confi dence in the willingness of the people to carry out our plans.— (Cheers.) The great body of our countrymen can only be reached by means of these swift-winged messengers, carrying and depositing over the length and breadth of the land, the seeds of truth and the principles of justice. This has been done, and is now doing. The very words lam this moment uttering, will by them be spread before the eyes of millions, hundreds of miles distant, in less than twenty-four hours. They will be Chronicled, they will be Advertised, they will be blazoned on the very face of the Sun—they will become a part of the great Globe itself.—(Laughter and loud cheers.) We are thus able to speak in the audience of the whole country, and to tell our countrymen that we are at our posts, willing and waiting to do their bidding.—(Cheers.) Thus far we have acted, I believe, as resolutely and as boldly as we were autho rised to do. We have not, however, despised or rejected the counsel given us by our experienced and fast friends in Parlia ment. Our future proceedings must of necessity take their character from the manifested feelings and expressed determi nations of the people at large. The gentlemen deputed to visit London, both those who were some weeks ago, and those who, in larger numbers, have subsequently arri ved, have honestly done their duty. They have laboriously sought to make known the actual condition of the people they represented. They have laboured publicly and privately to awaken the sympathy, to inform the minds, and to enlist the exertions of Members of both Houses of Parliament ; and they have not laboured in vain. They can confidently appeal to recent debates, for the proof that the Legislature have had the condition of the country spread before them. Generously assisted by several distinguished noblemen in the Upper House, and a still greater number of patriotic men in the Lower House, they have, during the last three weeks, unfolded from night to night, the position, the claims, and the wishes of their constituents. It will not be deemed invidious to men tion the eloquent, argumentative, and heart-stirring addresses of Lords Radnor, Kinnaird, and Brougham; and Messrs. Hume, O'Connell, Gibson, Villiers, Wallace, Bannerman, Brotherton, and last, but far from least, Richard Cobden.— ( Great cheering.) Besides all this, an effort has been made, and not without effect, to engage the attention, and secure the co-operation of the Christian ministers of the metropolis, and their congregations. Finally, a l as t an d so l emn appea l has been made to the Prime Minister, in an interview of unusual length, and you can all bear witness to the extraordinary ability and fidelity with which that delicate and responsible duty was per formed.—(Cheers.) Never were the claims of suffering merit more nobly vindicated, than on that oecasion. Never'was the state of a country brought to the verge of ruin by bad government more graphically or truthfully depicted, than by those who spoke on your behalf.--(Cheers.) Never were the causes of our national distress more clearly revealed, or the remedy more distinctly pointed out.—(Cheers. ) Never was the tremendous responsibility of a Minister of the Crown so justly or so ear nestly insisted upon.—(Cheers.) The conduct of those who represented us and our constituenaies on that occa sion, deserves to be held up as a model for the close imitation of all who shall hereafter approach the persons of these who are entrusted with the manage ment of the affairs of this country.—(Cheers.) And, let me not omit to say, that never was Sir Robert Peel—the dextrous debater awl disingenuous pervertor of facts and docu ments—more completely foiled in his subtle attempts to betray the speakers into admissions favourable to his tortuous and dishonest policy.—(Loud cheers.) The triumph of truth was most signal, if not over the heart, at all events over the talents of the Minister. lam confident that the fruit of that inter view will appear, though it should be after many days.— ( Cheers.) But still the question returns, what have we rea lnoting. An inquiry n i s teod the ? and w causes e are of our u rforecaeldamtiotier calamities has y,h been asked; but it has deen denied, and denied in a speech demonstrating at once the 4 callous indifference, and abject ignorance, of the Noble Lord at the head of the Board of trade, who was formally known by the name of " Prosperity Robinson," but should hereafter be called It Starvation Ripon."—(Cheers.) Mr. Wallace's motion has been thrown overboard—Mr. Bannerman's proposition treated in like manner—and Mr. Villiers' motion has been lost. In words the distress has been admitted, but in deeds denied.— (Hear.) In effect, the Government and Parliament have said, We know the people are starving, but we will give them no bread.—(Loud cheers.) We admit and admire their patience, and will reward it by leaving them to die.— ( Hear, hear.) We have such confidence in their fortitude and resignation, that we are firmly of opinion that if they are not inflamed to discontent and mutiny by the Anti-Corn-law League, they will meet death, and endure it without complaint, ' and without resistance.—(Cheers.) We have such a high opinion'Of the people of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, that we believe we are secure in the selfish enjoyment of our plunder,- if no meddling agitator goes near them, to point them from their rags and wretchedness to our robes and riches, and to tell them, ere they give up the ghost, that they do not die by the visitation of God, but by the visitation of the Corn-laws.--(Cheers.) Sir, what a barefaced and wicked insult is conveyed in such conduct.— ( Cheers.) Be ye warmed, and clothed and fed (is the language of the Lords and Commons), but look not to us to help you to the means. As for you, who pity these miserable multitudes, and are daily and nightly tormenting us with your prayers in their behalf, we hold you to be officious, and self-elected, and self-seeking advocates of those for whom you care nothing—who make their miseries the mere stalking-horse for the accomplish ment of your own plans of ambition—in fact, you are " the ve riest humbugs Oil the face of the earth."-( Laughter and applause.) Imitate us. We have philosophy enough to bear all the woes you speak and ten-fold as many more, while they belong to others, and not to us.—(Cheers.) We know the people are starving—we admit that the distress is wide, and deep, and in creasing ; but what of that? the people are patient, and why Rot leave them in patience to possess their souls, until they shall exchange worlds, and go where they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any m ore, wher e th e w i c k e d cease fr om troubling, and the. weary are at rest. Why not leave them to await this happy deliverance—happy for them, and happier still for us, who will then be left to enjoy our good things, without a Lazarus or a Mordecai at the gate.--(Loud applause.) Such is the 'engage of the aristocracy, by their acts. Sir, either they do believe in the distress of the country, or they de not. If they do, then, of all men, they are the most inhuman ; and, if they do not, they are, of all men, the most hypocritical. —( Cheers.) But we, who are here, have no doubt upon our muerte. Neither have we any doubt respecting the remedy. Still less have we any doubt respecting the justice of that mea sure which we demand from the Government of the country. Though it could be proved that it would but bring the relief which we confidently 'believe it would bring, it is just in itself. It seems to be the natural method of escape from the ruin which impends. It is the right of the nation—it is the right of the labouring poor. We, therefore, demanded it when times were better—we demand it with a still louder voice, in this the season of our adversity—and, should relief come from any other quarter, we will demand it still.—(Cheers.) But who are they wh o d en y b o th it an d a ll other remedies ? The very men who have by force, intimidation, and bribery, snatched the reins of Government—who compelled the late Government to abandon office, and come into power, proudly vaunting their ability to find, and to apply the remedy. Who are they ? They are free-traders in the abstract, who have re cognised the principle btit refuse to apply it, who hold the line and plummet in their hands, and have laid it to seven hundred and fifty arti c l es of comparative insignificence, but have care fully abstained from trying the merits of monopoly in timber, corn, and sugar.—(Cheers.) They have enacted a tariff, which co n t a i ns 7 50 pa l try excuses f or l e aving untouched the giant monop o li es I have named.—(Cheers.) The people ask for bread, but they give them leather—( Cheers)—they ask for employment, but they tell them that they may buy turbot duty free—they ask for money, but they receive an Income tax— they ask for repeal, but they are answered with a sliding. sealo.—( Cheers.) There is one man in the Cabinet who seems in my eyes to stand " Exalted midst his less abhorred compeers." The prince of apostates—the man who has written with his hand the sentence of his own condemnation, and who seems bent on precipitating the events which he has himself predicted.— ( Cheers.) Mr. Gaily Knight talked on Monday evening of hanging certain prophets. Sir, there was one prophet near him who must, I think, have felt an uncomfortable compression of the windpipe when his friend, the Member for Nottinghamshire, was speaking.—.(Loud laughter and cheers.) I allude to the Home Secretary.—( Heir, hear.) Sir, it needs some of the patience of the suffering classes of our countrymen to enable us to endure the sight of the man who wrote the book I hold in my hand, and who is now found in the ranks of the defenders of a sliuZing . -scale system of Corn-laws. There is not a public man in Great I3ritain who, as such. I regard with such unmixed scorn and detestation as Sir James Graham— ( Loud applause)—and I do marvel at the tolerance of my coun trymen, which permits such a man to fill the situation which he now holds—a situation which places the fate of the starved people of England at his mercy. It is Sir James Graham who has proclaimed the " headlong spirit of the landowners"— ( llear)—yet he himself is the most headlong of them all, and is propelling his country to ruin with his eyes open.—( Cheers.) It is Sir James Graham that has told us, that "the manufac turer is the best customer of the landlord "—yet it is Sir J. Gra ham that isfound foremost in the work of annihilating the ma- nufacturers of the country for the proposed good of the landlord It is Sir James Graham's speech that has taught the people that agriculture, under a sliding-scale system of Corn-law, is "a gambling and a hazardous speculation--(Hear)--un just to the grow er— ( Hear). -unjust to the consumer _(Hear) —exposing the people to the horrors of fa mine —(Cheers)--and the agricultural interest to the inci dents of the hazard table, and makes revenue from the soil the sport of wind and weather."—( Cheers.) Yet it is Sir James Graham. who is now found among the chief advocates of this very system, and who thereby proves himself to be the enlight ened and self-convicted, and efficient enemy of both interests— and for what ?—that he might obtain place and keep it, and in his own words—" share the patronage of the Government, and make that provision out of the public purse for his dependents which his hereditary estates can no longer bear."—( Cheese.) It is this same Right Hon. Baronet that has told us in this book, that " the feeling of the public must be hostile to the present Corn-law—that the receivers of rent are a very small body— that backed by public opinion, they are almost omnipotent-- that in violation of public opinion, they cannot long retain an exclusive advantage—that the contest is fearful ; for on what ground will it be decided ? On the very topic which inflames to madness : that hunger, which breaks through walls, will be arrayed against them ; reason will be heard no longer ; the barriers of society will be broken down ; and estates, distinc tions, honours, swept away in one resistless torrent."—( Cheers. ) Yet this same Right Hon. Baronet now defends these Corn laws, in defiance of public opinion, at a time when hunger is maddening the very people—at the very moment when he offi cially declares that 1,400,000 persons are receiving the pay of paupers—when the clouds of vengeance are fast gathering. At such a time, we find this identical Baronet, night after night, voting down every measure directed against the very law which he has described as the author of gamling, injustice, hunger, despair, and madness. Oh, Sir— " Had it Pleased Heaven to curse us with affliction; To rain all sorts of sores upon my head ; To steep me in poverty to the very lips; I could have found in some part of my soul A drop of patience ;" but to be doomed to pining wretchedness and helpless hunger, by such a man, and to find him, besides, armed with the dread power of the law to enforce his sentence, does all but banish the virtue of patience from the heart. Virtue itself seems to demand that, such a man, so infamous and guilty, should be driven from his seat.—(Great applause.) It is this man who tells us that "the paramount duty of every Government is attention to the interests of the commu nity, of which the labourers must form the great majority; the right of property is instituted for the good, not of the few who possess wealth and honours, but of the many who have them not; if the majority be deeply injured the public peace is in danger ; if the majority want food, private property becomes a nuisance."—( Cheers.) Yet this man sits upon the Treasury bench, between the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and, night after night, amuses the House with his " heavy pleasantries," while around him is a state of things, beyond comparison worse than was ever found when he wrote this book.—( Cheers.) I find him, here, pathetically lamenting over the condition of the hand-loom weavers in 1826, and after describing them as not able to earn more than 6s. a week when in work, and many of them without employment, saying :—" I have reason to know that when the handtul of meal in the barrel, arid the little oil in the cruise have failed, pinching hunger too often is endured for many hours by entire fami. lies." And what then? Why he proceeds thus :—" It is vain to add reasoning to facts like these; they cry aloud, and proclaim approaching danger. Patience still endures, because hope still lingers. Either legislative redress must speedily be granted, or the reign of terror is at hand."— (Cheers.) And what is his remedy ? The abolition of the sliding-scale of duties on corn !—( Cheers.) " Let me implore the landowners," he says, " to abandon the futile attempt of artificially maintaining high prices. Let them make a com promise with the public. Let them open the ports for the ad mission of foreign corn. The Corn-laws estrange the hearts of the people from the possessors of the soil.—(Cheers.) Con cession will win back their kindly feelings." But Sir James says more. Hear him : "In addition to free importation, let there be a revision of all monopolies. Let not the consumer be forced to pay an exorbitant price for his sugar, that a particular interest may be benefited.—( Cheers.) Let us de stroy the heavy duties on timber—(Cheers)—which, at the expense of every man building a ship or a house in the mother country, are at the best a paltry premium to our colonies; and since we are bent on establishing an open competition with the foreign manufacturer, let us at once reduce largely those taxes which affect both the commerce and manufactures of our country."—( Cheers.) Such are ;he opinions of the Right Hon. Home Secretary. 1 say are, for those which he now expresses are but the official apologies for measures which he supports in order to support himself. But what shall we say of such a man? Can we regard him with any other feelings than those of contempt and indignation ?—( Cheers.) Would it not be the extreme of cruelty and treachery, to abandon the hard-working people of England, and the commerce and manu factures of our island, to such a shameless apostate ?—( Cheers.) But how may the power of such men be overthrown ? Sir James tells you ; and with one more extract I will leave his book for the present. The power to hurl oppressors from their high places, he tells you, is public opinion. " Public opinion," he assures us, "cannot be outraged with impunity."—( Cheers. ) Be it so. I believe it. Sir James has outraged public opinion and his own opinions too.—( Cheers.) " King, Lords, and Commons united, cannot carry any measure into effect which is contrary to public opinion." So says Sir James. They are not united. Our Queen is with us—( Continued applause)—. so that we have but to rally round the Sovereign, and our work is done.—( Cheers.) Thank you, Sir James ! You have taught us a lesson, and we will not be slow to learn. Sir, I am convinced that these meetings are doing eminent service to our cause. The fact is, that there is at present no practical belief in the existing distress, still less any just apprehensions of the danger.—( Cheers.) The night before last, whilst standing in the House of Lords, listening to the statements of Lord Brougham, a lady of rank addressed a Peer in such words as these. " How shocking these things are ; do you believe them ?" The nobleman replied—" I believe they are true, though I don't agree respecting the cause." The lady rejoined—" I don't believe in the distress." Here was one of the aristocracy disbelieving the fact, and another the remedy ; and both agreeing in postponing redress. The melancholy truth is, that the votaries of rank and fashion neither know the miseries of the pour nor the dangers which every hour threaten themselves. .‘ Oh ! little think the gay licentious proud, Whom pleasure, power, and afluence surround ; They who their thoughtless hours in giddy mirth, And wanton, often cruel riot waste; Ah ! little think they, while they dance along, How many feel, this very moment, death, And all the sad variety of pain."—( Cheers. ) But the reign of delusion is fast drawing to a close.—(Hear.) Distress is encircling our island.—( Hear.) It is drawing nearer and nearer to the abodes of the rich, the gay, and the thoughtless. That hunger, which has been borne with a patience which thej well-fed have regarded with cold admira tion, is doing its work.—(Hear.) It has kept the young from school.—( Hear.) It has driven the daughter to prostitution. —(Hear.) It haskept the man from the house of pra3er. It has tempted him to infidelity .—( Hear , hear.) It i s f as t turning him into a ravenous and reckless monster. --(Hear, hear.) The law which forbids him to steal his food, starves him at the same time; and he is ceasing to reverence it, and will soon cease to obey it. Evil advisers are here, and he has nothing to do but to listen. The middle classes, which have hitherto been the partition-wall—the safe guard and defence of the aristocracy, no longer able to obtain for themselves a hearing, are fast becoming convinced that the reign of terror must precede the return of justice, and are preparing to be neutral spectators of that horrid conflict which will ensue, when:the oppressors stand naked in the presence of the oppressed.—(Loud cheers.) In these circumstances, we send forth once more the voice of warning to those who are withholding corn from the people. We conjure them by their recollections of the fate which has overtaken the usurping aristocracy of other countries—(Hear)—we implore them, by their love for those who belong to them, by their love of themselves, to avert the evil which is at their doers. We call upon those who fear God, and would be found doing His will, to bestir themselves, and to exert that influence which, ere long, may be tried in vain. We call upon our constituents through out the kingdom, to strengthen our hands, by sending os in time their representations and remonstrances. Peradventure, our importunity may yet prevail, and our continual coming weary our rulers into the doing of an act of justice. But, if all efforts should prove unavailing, we have this consolation, that we did our duty. We have made our appeal to reason. We have made our appeal to experience. e have preached pease, and pursued it. We have stood between the hungry and those who created the famine:; and if, at last, the aristocracy of this king dom rush upon their own doom, their blood be upon their own heads, and the blood of those who may fall in the struggle for that bread which God had Provided, but which they have with held.—(Mr. Thompson sat down amidst great cheers. ) (The meeting had not concluded when we went to press.) REFRESHMENT -ROOMS AT SWINDON.—On Tuesday the extensive refreshment rooms at Swindon, on the Great Western Railway were opened for the public. The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by the Directors, was present on the occasion, and expressed himself highly gratified by the splendour and accommodation of this new establishment. TILE WELCH CONVICTS.--The following- is an ex tract from a letter, dated Port Arthur, Dec. 14, 1841 : " Frost, Williams, and Jones are in this settlement. Frost has been sent, to Hobart Town to stand a trial respecting cer tain letters he sent to England, which were published in the newspapers and got to the ears of the Government, and he has been sent to this settlement to hard labour. He has done a great deal of harm to himself, as he was very well off here, being employed as a clerk in the C omm i ssar i a t d epartment, an d now he will be at hard labour for some time." PROPERTY AND INCOME-TAX FOR THE CITY 0 E LONDON.—At a meeting of the Commissioners appointed to act in pursuance of sth and Gth Victoria, c. 35, held yesterday at the Land-tax-rooms, Guildhall-buildings, being the first meeting under the above Commission, Sir G. de H. Larpent in the chair, and all the members of the Board present, the usual preliminaries of the meeting, and the taking and sub scribing the oaths, having been gone through, Sir G. Larpent was appointed the chairman of the Commission ; and Mr. T. Jones, of King's Arms'-yard, Coleman-street, solicitor, was elected clerk to the Commissioners ; when, after fixioag Thurs. day next, the 14th inst., to appoint assessors of the said tax, the meeting adjourned. A CRITIC:AL BEGGAR.—" Go, away, go!" said a miser to a mendicant, " I canna gie ye naething." " You might, at least," replied the mendicant, with an air of great dignity and archness, "you mi g ht at l east have refused me grammatically." • - BRIGHTON, TUESDAY. —About half-past three o'clock this afternoon an alarming accident happened here. A- small pleasure-boat, named the Surprise, Richard Spicer, owner, had been out for a cruise with a lady, her three daugh ters, and a little boy. The wind was blowing hard, and the sea running high, and many of the fishermen blamed the men for taking parties out. Upon the return of the boat several persons were on the cliffs watching her in, when, upon her striking the beach, the wind caught her . sails, and threw the whole party into the sea, including the two men who had the management of her. Very fortunately a number of Ulu-- men were near the spot, • and immediately rushed into the sea, and succeeded in bringing out the whole of the party. Two of the young ladies were washed under the boat, one of \them appeared at first in a lifeless state, but upon being placed on the beach she soon came round. A fly was procured, and the party were conveyed to their residence, 102, King's-road, with the loss of some of their wearing apparel, and in a mise rable plight from the effects of the fright and the damage done o their clothing. MunDER AT STYAL, NEAR WlL.MsLow.—On Thursday afternoon an inquest was held at the house of Mr William Dale, the Old Ship Inn, Styal, Cheshire, by Mr. Roscoe, coroner of the Knutsford division, on the body of a u- an named Henry Locket, who was brutally and inhumanly murdered on the highway, at Were Mill Brow, near Styal, early on Tuesday morning last. From the evidence adduced before the jury it appeared that the deceased was a married man, aged 30 years, and has left a wife and three children. t He was employed as a blower tenter at Messrs. Greg's cotton mill, Styal. The jury, after a lengthy investigation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder " against some person or persons at present unknown.—Manchester Times. The Commerce says—" Immediately after the King's late visit to the forts of Issy and Mont Valerien, orders were given to increase the number of workmen not only on these works, but on those also at Vanvres, Arcucil, Bicetre, and Ivry. The fortifications on the right bank of the river are going on, it appears with all the desired activity, as well as the additions to the fortress of Vincennes, which are being made contrary to all the provisions of the Legislature." - Mr. Darby, the honourable and egotistical Mem ber for East Sussex, last evening, in addressing the House of Commons on the subject of the Poor-law, made use of the pro noun " I" thirteen times in one POLICE INT ELLIG EIN C MARLBOAOUGH.STREET: (THIS PAY.) OBSTRUCTIONS AT THE ITALIAN OPERA- HOUSE. —James Malcolm, a footman in the service of Lady and Aliss Shelley, of No. 33, Belgrave-square, was charged with being drunk and causing a disturbance, and obstructing persons in coming out of the pit entrance of the Italian Opera-house. Fur some time past a great nuisance and obstruction has been caused by the servants of the frequenters of the Opera persisting in stand ing within the pit entrance under the Opera-arcade, so as to impede or wholly prevent any persons passing by them : they were also in the habit of laughing and talking so loudly, that the audience had made frequent complaints of the annoyance. Last night several Noblemen who were leaving the house complained of the obstruction they met with in attempting to do so. The prisoner, who had been drinking, behaved in a violent manner, and appeared to be the ringleader of the others. The check-takers were•at last obliged to call in the police and the Guards, and the offending parties were turned out. The prisoner, however, refused to be controlled in any way, and having commenced making use of obscene lan guage, he was secured and taken to the station.house. The prisoner said he was so drunk that he:did not know what he was doing. He was fined 405., or one month to hard labour in West minster Bridewell. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

ANTIGUA.—A letter received at Lloyd's from their agent at Antigua, dated June 7, contains the following : " Captain Newbold, of the brig Transit, on her passage from Halifax to St. Vincent, in February last, discovered a shoal to windward of this island, lat. 16 42 N. lon. 59 6. He examined it as carefully as ciacumstances would permit, and describes it to be about 200 feet long, and tdo feet wide, with three fathoms water in the centre, and much shallower on the edges." LIGHTHOUSE ON THE Bra LING ISLANDS.—A letter has been received at Lloyd's from . the Baron de Moncorvo, the Portuguese Legation, respectie g the erection of a lighthouse on the 13erling Islands, full par ticulars of which appeared in our journal of the 22d ult. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh supplies of Engll ;1 Grain since Monday have been moderate, but Foreign Wheat has come in plentifully. The sale of every article was dull, at Monday's prices. There has not been much demand for Flour this week. COLONIAL MARKET. The price of most kinds of merchandise were steadily main tained, and a fair business was done. TEA MARKET. The large public sale has comm enced, and being the first since the arrival of the Overland from India, attracted a very full room. Considerable anaiet'y was manifested to ascertain the feeling of both buyers and sellers. At the opening the trade showed little disposition 'to purchase, and the biddings were languid, but the merchant .s mostly evinced firmness and considerable parcels were boas ht in. The small proportion sold was mostly on previous ra' ces, with here and there a pur chaser at a small decline. 'TALLOW MARKET. The prices continue at 48 s. on the spot, and 495. for delivery in the last three months-of the year, with a very fiat market. RETURN OF THE COU - It`r TO WINDSOR.—It has been finally arranged for the Court to visit Windsor for a some what lengthened period, imms eliiately after the prorogation of Parliament. The various re pairs and alterations which were commenced at the Castle immediately after the departure of her Majesty on the 13th ult., wi 11 be completed for the Queen's reception at a very early perio. I in the ensuing month. ROYAL EMBARKATION AT WHITEHALL STAIRS. —This morning, shortly after • ten o'clock, her Majesty the Queen Dowager, together is rith her Serene Highness the Duchess of Saxe Meiningen, t heir Royal Highnesses the Duke and the Hereditary Prince of Saxe Meiningen, embarked on board her Majesty's royal bars ; . e at Whitehall-stairs, when the Royal and distinguished party v ;ere conveyed to Woolwich on their return home. One of her Majr sty's steam-boats was in readiness to receive the Royal party, an d a Guard of Honour, consisting of the 73d Regiment of Royal Artillery, &c., with their bands were in attendance, who strut k up the National Anthem on the arrival of the Royal and distil guished party. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, who, it is e tpected will return to town this evening, looked extremely we lin health. TICEHURST Hops.—T he late showers have greatly refreshed vegetation, both in corn and other grain. The gar dens were almost scorched up. In the best grounds the hops are making rapid growth, and ?show for burr, but in weak grounds do not equally prog yess. Duty called 150,0001. HANOVER-SQUARE - ROOM.S.—Mr. Hayward, the violinist, held his first Sot !ree Musicale on Monday night, at these rooms. His solo per for mantes called forth the warmest applause of his auditory. 11 fit sB. Hawes Mire Lucombe, and Missend Mr. Williams, ad de their vocal contributions to the entertainment, and Mr. Cart e played a fantasia on the flute. COVENT-GARDEN Toi EATRE.—Workmen have com menced operations in the interior of this theatre, which is to undergo a thorough course cf decorative repair. Mr. Kemble, aided by Mr. Bailley, has • nearly concluded his arrangements, vocal and histrionic, for tin ensuins .season. Among the former is Mrs. Alfred Shaw, who r is to make• her debut early in the season.' We perceive that Pct trot takes his benefit to-morrow evening, when Cimarosee Matrimmio Segreto will be per formed entire. A portion of Anna Boloies will also be given, in which Frezzolini will make her .last appearance but one. Persiani, Moltini, and Ritbini will all ail mar, and a new diver tissement., including the Cracouienne'. , Cachuca and other pas de caractere, under the sr tperintendencer of the beneficiare (with the new ballet of Alma),, to crown the entertainments of the evening. ENNIS RIOTS.—Our letters sto .te that the bills of indictment against Aleeirs. Browne, Fitz Simon, and the police, have been thrown out. Qur impreesio a has been, and still is, that the firing was not, at the period it occurred, absolutely ne cessary, and that it may Eave been con tin ued longer than need ful: still, the c'aarge of the excellent Judge (Richards), and everything else having been conducted in a just spirit, we see nothing, which, now complained of, is t al =Med to further the ends of justice.—Dublira Pilot. MORE TORY LOYALTY.—Sir B 'cthert Peel gave no tice on Monday evening of a bill to pro ride more effectually fur the security of her Majesty's person. I think the Right Hon. Baronet ought to be made aware that th e introduction of his measure for the protection of our belov sd Sovereign gave rice to a discussion in the Library, where a 1 11, 'tuber of his Govern ment, expatiating on the punishment a di sinistered to Colonel Dundas, for speaking disrespectfully c f his Sovereign, said, " that if any person in his presence, saber ther drunk or sober, chose to d—n the Queen, he would take lit n notice of it ; for he would be no eaves-dropper." This is pmts . y well, comi ng f rom a gentleman on army half-p a y, an d hold g, with a large sa lary, the situation of Clerk of the Ordnat ic e. This bold Clerk of the Ordnance, it is said, will not soon I orget the rebuke of the Honourable and Gallant Member fey . But might it not be worthy of Colonel Sibthorp's con sideration to suggest a clause in Sir Robert Peel's Bill, subje. at ing any of her Ma jesty's paid servants, who choose to hear t heir Sovereign d—d unnoticed, to an hour in the pillory, and s a six months' trudge on the tread-mill ?—M.— Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE OF _MIND.--The fact of a fool named Thompson having lately !frightened a lady on the Great Western Railway by preset rting an earthenware pistol at her head gives occasion to the Mc ruing r hronicle to re cord a personal instance of "pr esence of mind," which cannot be too widely circulated. "It happened I," says the Chronicle, "to the writer of these remarks" (a le in g article be it un derstood), " when a lad of sixteen, walk, ing on the brink of precipice, at the bottom of which flowed a deep river, to have had a fowling-piece presented at him, s rith all the appearance of earnestness, by a person who had rather a doubtful reputa tion. He did not throw himself over the precipice, but one of weaker nerves might have done so, and death would have been certain." It is impossible t a say how much the world in general, and the Corn-law Lea gue in particular, have gained by the hardihood of the embryo editor of the Chronicle, who withstood the temptation of beim g frightened out of his wits "at the age of sixteen" to part with them at the more mature age of sixty. The pract,ice of , walking on the edge of a precipice" is a common failing (rick t} to Whig-Radicals, and the nervousness of the Chronicle nay,. tl terefore, be readily excused. In the midst of the alarm. man ife sted by the Chro nicle at what might have happened 'll alp a century ago, we par. titularly admire the characterist'm car,tio n native to " the writ' r," in speaking of the fellaw ,iofaided to frighten him as " a person of doubtful reputatios ~" 3 he sought to levy black-mail we should say his cha nee of success was doubtful, whatever may be thought of his re putation.—Morning Herald.

IRELAND. (From the D Lila Mail ,of Monday.) DEATH OF AIR. JUSTICE FOSTER. " With great regret we announce the sudden death of Mr. Justice Foster, which took place qu to suddenly (on circuit) at Cavan, a t a l ate hour on Saturday night. His Lordship opened th e comm i ss i on in that town in the afternoon of that day, dined with the High-Sheriff and Grand Jury, and rem tired to his lodgings at an early hour and in his usual state of health. Hi s d eat h was immediate, and without a particle of suffering, every effurt of Erst-rate medical and surgical skill proving unavailing. "Mr. Foster took his seat on the bench originally —having been previously, for many years, second Counsel to the Com missioners of Customs and Excise—as a Baron of the Exche quer, from whence he moved to the Common Pleas on the elevation of Mr., now Baron, Lefroy. He was a pains-taking , imperturbable, and impartial judge —a most admirable scholar, and well versed in science—of mild, gentle, and unobtrusive manners, and although not mixing much with the world, his habits being retired and studious, was universally respect"' . and esteemed. It is said that his spirits never recovered their , tone, or his mind its elasticity, after the shock occasioned by the sudden death of his son, a fine youth, which eeturred some time since, by his being drowned while on a boating ea - • cursion. In his own family, Judge Foster was greatly be: loved, and in the circle of his relatives and friends his clean' will be deeply deplored. " The following interesting, though melancholy particulars , are from our own Correspondent. Mr. Sergeant Greene left town this day to assume the duties of judge for the remaining portion of the north-west circuit " CAVAN, SUNDAY, JULY hasten to give you th e • earliest intelligence of the very su dd en d eat h o f M r . Justice Foster, one o f the judges of assize for this circuit. He opened the commission at half-past three o'clock yesterday, dined witb the Sheriff and Grand Jury at the Court-house, and was in hie usual state of health. He retired from the dinner table before nine o'clock, to his lodgings, at Mr. Clinton's, where he took tea; and went to bed at his usual hour. At about a quarter to twelve he got up, and•nalled his servant, who had not gone to bed, and said he did not feel well ; and coughed very vie! lently fur some time. He then dimmed his servant to call Mr. Clinton, as he wished to perfect a codicil which he had made to his will. Mr. Clinton came immediately, the Judge told bim the purpose for which he had sent for him, and said, that he had prepared the codicil most carefully within the last two or • three days, and that it was of much consequence to have it pro' perly signed and witnesst•d.' He filled up the dates of the codicil himself, and after putting his name to the paper, he walked over to the bed and got into it, dispensing w ith the assistance of his servant, who wished to attend him. He said he was very ill, and wished for some medical men to be sent. for; Dr. Roe , an d S urgeon H a l p i n were i n atten d ance upoo him in a few minutes, but before they arrived he had become insensible; a vein was opened in the arm by Dr. Roe, and the jugular vein by Mr. Halpin. Some blood flowed from each orifice, and everything_ that could pro m i se th e s li g ht es t h o pe el e restoring him was had recourse to instantaneously, but in vain. He was dead. He breathed his last at a quarter pilt • twelve o'clock. It is remarkable that yesterday was the lung' versary of the death of one of his sons, who was drowned while on a boating party.' " THE UNIVERSITY.—The death of Mr. Justice Foster, and the probability of the elevation of the Solicitor-General to the Bench, have set the friends of Mr. George Alexander Ha' milton in motion ; and an active canvass of the electors of the University was commenced this afternoon by that gentleman's friends. Should Mr. Jackson be the person selected for the' vacant judgeship, there appears to be but little doubt that Mr. Hamilton will be his successor in the representation of the College. ORANGE PROCESSIONS AT LIVERPOOL. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY NIGHT.-Our peaceable town bat to-day been the scene of considerable excitemennt. Here the 12th of July, for years past, has been a great Orange prd..l cession day, which has often lcd to tumult and riot. The: Orange party, in combination with their shipwright, had tended to celebrate the present anniversary in their usual • manner, but through the influence of our Mayor, John SbaW Leigh, Esq., that intention was abandoned. At an early hour to-day Orange banners were exhibited at the various pnblie• houses where these Clubs usually dine, which, through the in' `. fluence of the Mayor, were speedily removed, or certain riot L - would have taken place. The police are out under arms, and 4 1 mounted in full force, and up to the prevent hour the town re' mains quiet, with but little interruption. It is stated that many members of our Town Ccuncil intend to join the Clubs at their anniversary dinner this evening. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOOD WOOD. , • Goodwood races commence on Tuesday, th e 26th i ns t., and will continue four days. On the first day there will be the Craven Stakes, the 300 soya.

THE BEARING ERlN.—England, where the best horses and the best drivers are to be found—England ": (it is said) is the only country in which that bane of the horse, the bearing-rein, is used ! In France it is not used , and, as the natural consequence, horses in that country seldom fall to the ground, or so as to hurt them' selves. At the very instant the horse stumbles the French coachman slackens the rein, that the horse may save himself. The dray-horses in London exhibit the ; most painful examples of the cruelty of using a tirllt !' bearing-rein. Whether at wor k or standing they will be found in continual torment, tossing their heads, or resting the weight of them on the bit, and so drawing back the corners of their mouths, as nearly to split the ligatures ; at work, instead of going on steadily, they " bob" their heads, feeling the check at every stop they take. FIRE.—An alarming fire broke out yes terday at about half-past t en o ' c l oc k i n an o il an d v i tr i o l warehouse , situated in Wells -street, Oxford-street, belonging to a Mr' King, which it destroyed with amazing rapidity, the fl a mes, s exhibiting for a qu ar te r o f an hour previously to the arrival 0 1 the engines, a fearful ascendancy which threatened destructio n to the adjoining premises belonging to Mr. Riddle, a ca binet' maker, in Wells-street. The timely arrival of the engines, which, after some delay in obtaining water, played with power' ; ful:effect, saved this property from being entirely involved : 0 the awful conflagration. We are sorry to state that Mr. King's loss is very considerable, and that he is only portion,' insured. The origin of the fire is at present unknown. PRISONS BILL.—The following deputation had an interview with Sir James Graham yesterday at the Horne- office, upon the Prisons Bill :—Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, M.P. ; Sir Charles Douglas, M.P. ; Mr. Joseph Birley, Mr. J. 13 . Wanklyn, Mr. Cropley, Mr. 0. Milne, Mr. Brishall, Mr' Rutter, Mr. Griffiths, and Mr. Hunt. How TO GET INTO 'I'OOUBLE. Always keep a } sharp look-out after your neighbour's concerns :" know/edge, you know, is power. Get upon parish committees; if a part , ' question, never mind which side you take, it will show your impartiality, besides, it will let you into the secrets of each' Always speak your mind boldly--no matter where, or oh ° hears you. Do not refuse to be bail for poor Bob—it is only I' trifle. Take an active part in a popular election. If all these do not succeed, go to law ! " Our church clock," saws the editor of a down east paper, " keeps time so well, that we get a day out of e ver,' week by it." THE SEASON AND THE CROPS.—We have had de luges of rain since our last in this part of the country, 0 1 4 f cially yesterday, when it poured down as it seldom does out the tropics. The wheat i s a goo d d ea l laid, but as the ear ig still light, it will rise again if the weather should improve: Next Friday is St. Swithin's day, and the Saint has su pporte 4 his:reputation so w e ll d ur i ng t h e last year as to make one anxious about the present state of the weather, though we hope that no dama ge i s y e t d one, un l ess i t i s as to the hay which out in the fields.
