LONDON WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1842. - Sir ROBERT PEEL'S proposal last night to bring in a Bill for the better security of her .MAJESTY, met with the unanimous and hearty approbation of the House of Common:4, and will meet with the hearty approbation of the. country. The Right Hon. Gentleman proposes to create no . new treason. but to divest such mischievous ai6cks as have lately been made of the character and ilignity of treason —to degrade them to the filth of petty larceny, and inflict on the offenders whipping-and im prisonment. This Bill will subject such offender. to more siptedy as well as simple justice, and it brings all possible attempts - on her MAJESTY within the meshes of the law. That such a measure will be a more effectual protection for her MasEsTv than the present law of treason, is, we believe, the universal opinion; and it is generally thought that if any law can discoumge such mo nomaniac - attempts, it will be ene which degrades the crime end the criminal. Sir R. PEZCS Bill completely corresponds to the public senthnent, and may almost be Fai!l to be a law before it is passed. In the Course of his speech, the - Right Hon. Baront t informed the Ml'S° that the Judgesohe law officers of the• Cro..vn, and the members of the Cabimt, were inlaid toously.of opinion that FRANCIS should nut suffer tile penalty of death. It is certainly satisCactory to thera end public to know that. their mercif..l decision, in that case, had no influence in exciting the mind of the present miser:ant to commit the outrage on inn- MA JESTY. He purchased his pistol, absented himself from home, wrote his letter, and laid his plans, before the decision, we bedeVe, was taken, and certainly before it was promulgated. The hasty - assumption that mercy was the parent of a fresh crime, which, in the first in stance, was generally adopted, is known to be an error ; and the Ministers have not to reproach themselves with any evil effects from misplaced lenity. Sir ROBERT PEEL quoted On Monday evening some sile.C . ittiens of _the fallins off and of the 'increase in the .Customs' duties during the last qUarter, to show the ef fects of changes in the tariff. Thus wine had fallen off 108,0001., timber, 113,000!., and coffee, 31,000/. On brandy and rum, also, there was a large loss: There wa; an increase of 113,000/. on sugar, of 34,000/. on mtdasAes; on cotton wool 26,9801., on tea 16,718/. The Right Hon. Baronet attributed the fulling off of the re 'gentle to changes in the tariff, while the increase took place iu articles which have not been meddled with. Such' may be the case ; but there are some facts con nected with these several articles which Warrant a dif fcw;lic iew. The tariff makes no change whatever in the wine duties, none in the duties on rum, and none in the duties on brandy, and en all these articles of luxury there has been a great falling off. It is erroneous to at tribute that to the tariit. A more probable and a more alarming - cause is that the middle classes—the master manufacturers and tip-top shopkeepers—findin4 their incomes running away from them, have ceased to indulge in wines and other spirituous liquors. Economy and morality recommend the giving up of that indulgence as . one of the first curtailments of expense. That recom-„ mendation has been acted on to a great extent, and the result is that the revenue on the luxury of wine and :spirits has fallen offduring the last quarter nearly one fourth. This is a pretty sure indication of much in creasing frugality in the middle clases. The reduction in the coffee duties is justly ascribed by . Sir R. PEEL to his proposed change, for there is good mson to believe, from the increased consumption of sugar, and the substitution of coffee for other drinks and for food, that more of it has been used. As to sugar, Sir PEEL knows that the increased duty is the result of an increase in the supply. Mr. GouLnuttx stated last year, in the debates on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S proposal to re duce the sugar ditties, that an increased revenue would he obtained from sugar without making the proposed reduction, because there was a greater quantity to come to market. 'On two or three subsequent debates the Tories, including Sir R. PEEL, plumed themselves on their sagacity, and disproved beforehand Sir R. PEEL'S Mon day statement as to sugar. Of the increase of duty on cotton wool, and on tea, we know nothing ; but it is to he rather attributed, we apprehend, to the peculiar state of the New Orleans and Canton markets, than to the tariff not having disturbed those duties. As to timber, Sir R. PEEL has on that point supplied beforehand some materials for doubting his accuracy. During a debate on the tariff, when he was asked to give the timber merchants time to clear off Weir stocks, &c., he taunted them with having last year, in expectation of a change, and of catching a large draw back, imported an unusual qUantity of timber. There was over-production then and collapse. now, which wicounts, as well as his change in the duties, for some of tt. e reduction of the revenue from timber. We hardly kaiow what Sir R. PEEL meant to infer from the figures h quoted, but the unaltered duties on wine and spirits, id the falling off in the revenue on them, is a proof, 1,- /are afraid, that another end a more baneful cause is sat svork to reduce the Citstom-house revenue than the to rotary disturbance caused by altering the tariff: SwittalEtiT, ton, has frequently dwelt with cotn pd .on the increase pf exports. Did he include ;n fare eongratnlations the . thousands of ingenious sl..;Ta.nts and the property they take with them, for n . O equivalent will ever be gained ? " Over 3,000 says a recent number of the New York Herald, . aled in the city of New York in the last two days, _„aidin g ,- agriculturists and . all kinds of mechanics." We hat e no doubt that the balk of those persons went frcm (iii at Britain, whenc.rr a number little short of 100,000 ; will go this year, Persons of skill and property are • en t dug Away from the wreck which awaits them here. Eve one of them carries something with him, many of f. hem carry a goof deal ; what they carry or send sess 'I the exports ; while, as the Custom-house returns s:3l:n :, die imports arc' "iuliTlishing• But the imports, not the exports, enrich a country ; and Sir ROBERT PEEL is in the singular position for a Prime Minister. of rejoicing over the double evidence of the nation's decay. Mr. FEBBAND presented a petition on Monday from workmen in Queenshead, praying for a law to regulate wages according to the price of wheat. Earl STANHOPE, in the House of Lords, on the same evening, stated that an old Tory manufacturer of Yorkshire had assured him that unless the Parliament protected the wages of labour the consequences might be Krious ; and Mr. COBDEN pointedly and emphatically assured the House of Com mons that as the Legislature had taken on itself to re gulate the price of food, so it was bound to ensure profit to the manufacturer and good wages to the labourer. Now, all these different authorities, two of them being at opposite political poles, point to the same conclusion as the necessary consequence of the Legislature under taking to regulate the price of wheat—the establishment, namely, of a maximum and a minimum price for all things, for which the first French Revolution in its pro gre-s was s.o fiercely condemned. What a task dues the Lczislature thus impose on itself. It must not only adjust the wages of the common manual labourer to the price of food, as that varits with the seasons, but it must adjust the rewards of skillcd labourers in proportion to the time and education re quired to lean an art. It must also establish the rewards of new arts as they arise, and must equally apportion, in all cases, the profits of any new rna chine, between the capitalist who merely owns it, • and the labourer who makes and uses it. To every man willing to work, to every man able to work, it will be bound to secure a fitting reward, as well as to the owner of rent and the owner of tithL s. In truth, the practical establishment of St. Simonism, of which the main prin ciple is that the State should reward every man accord ing to his works, is the necessary and inevitable conse quence of making a law to regulate the price of corn. Theprinciple of the maximum and the minimum has been adopted for the landowners, and the starving labourers now justly demand its equal application to them. Such a system may be very benevolent, fur the bene volence of our legislators, at least to themselves, is great; it my be wise, for the wisdom of our landowners is to us quite inscrutable; but though wise and benevolent, it is impossible. No human power cats by design and will accomplish any such equal and just distribution of wages, profit, ar,d rent amongst the different classes of the com munity. No Government that we are aware of has ever attempted it, unless it was that of the Jesuits in Paraguay ; and no Government can accomplish it for a society which is more enlarged and more complicated than that of a monastery. This impossible system, dis guised under the name of protection, is the system of our landlords. We must warn them, from the three examples we have quoted, that the plan of protecting native agri culture by securing a certain price for corn, involves for the State the impossible duty of securing an adequate and just remuneration for every labourer in the empire, and - ensures, by making the Government itself un that principle an impossibility, the destruction of the Govern ment. The Alipisters carried their object last night of con tinuing the Poor-law Commission for five year.; never theless, it is again stated that they mean to give up the larger portion of the Bill, fearing that to pass the whole would prolong the session beyond endurance. Forty=nine Members of the House of Commons, and fourteen Peers, are all that are to be found to vote for the appointment of Parliamentary Committees to in quire into the present distressed state of the country. In the House of Lords the subject was well and ably brought forward by Lord Brougham on Monday ; but buerowing as_ were the details of misery—frightful as were the pictures of wide-spread and wider-spreading . distress exhibited by his Lordship, only sixteen he reditary Legislators, out of an assembly of four hundred and fifty-nine voted for an inquiry into its ex tent, with a view to the suggestion of a remedy. The Peers take the matter very coolly. The distres of the working classes dues not affect them. They would not drink a glass of Burgundy the less, or dispense with the attendance of a single liveried menial in their all Lut regal establishments, were the operatives dying in ditches like rotten sheep. Lord BROUGHAM well and feelingly reminded their Lordships that the suffering millions had no hand in making the laws, under whose accursed operation they were dying of hunger. They did not contribute to the passing of the Corn and Provision! laws, which had reduced them to a state of misery, coin- pared with which all the famines within his recollection were periods of comparative prosperity. These• facts made no impression on the Peers, till followed by an account of villages becoming depopulated, and a decrease in the rental of the country. Thu motion was weakly and un:uttiA . actorily resisted by the Earl of RIPON, Lora MEr.nounNE (!), and the Earl of WINCHILSEA ; and sup ported by Earl STANHOPE, Lord KINNAIP,D, the Mar quis of CLANRICARDE, and Lord RADston. - The speeches of Lord K . INNAIRD and the Marquis of CLiNRIcARDE wt re excellent. Lord KINNAIRD, proved that the distress of the country could be at any mo ment relieved, and the Federal Government of the United States preserved frorn a state border.ng upon in solvency, by allowing American corn to be imported at even so high a duty as six shillings. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE warned their Lordships of what might be expected to take place next winter, unless prompt measures were taken to 'remove the misery of the people. They might think it inconvenient to go into such an inquiry now, and trust to the employment of troops by the Government to keep the people quiet ; but unless they did inquire, and did re move the evil, they would soon be compelled to submit to something worse. But their Lordships, unwilling to forego the pleasures of the approaching season of field sports, treated the threat of the Noble Marquis witt silent contempt. Lord BROUGHAM'S reply was more temperate than we should have expected under such circumstances. He had evidently, however, brough' forward his - motion under a conviction that it would IN rejected. He knew the assembly he had to deal with, and how little it concerned itself about the miseries of the poor, so long as they suffered in silence. Accordingly. as we stated above, only fourteen votes were given for an inquiry into the extent of the distress that now over spreads Great Britain and Ireland ! Gon help the perishing people ! They have no longer anything to hope from the wisdom and humanity of the House of Lords. - Complaints have long been made in England against the anomalous and unjust state of the law in the United States, in reference to the piracy of British works, and Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, taking advantage of his stay in that country; laudably exerted himself to make the subject one of general discussion, and to impress upon the pirates the conviction that they were not so honest as they should be. A petition to Congress was also drawn up, signed by WASHINGTON IRKING, Coot.Ex PaEscort', and every man who has distinguished himself in the literature of America ; earnestly praying fur the enactment of an international copyright law. The petition was presented to Congress by Mr. CLAY, and referred to a &led Committee. This was met by a counter-petition foal] the classical city of Boston—the chief city of learn ing and letters in America—in which the petitioners state that if English authors were invested with any con trol over the republication of their works, American edi tors would no longer be able to alter and adapt them to the taste of their countrymen. This very moral resolu tion was adopted at a public meeting with only one dis sentient voice. It is to be hoped, however, that the Se lect Committee, and President TYLER, a man ef high moral character, will discountenance such proceedings, and agree to the prayer of the learned men, who, by their writings, have conferred high honour on their country, by recommending the subject to the serious attention of Congress. While all the great works written in the English language originated in Great Britain, the Americans, of course, were great gainers by this unfair traffic ; but circumstances are now changing ra pidly ; American writers are successfully competing with those of this country, and it is therefore for the mutual advantage of both that an• international law should be established, by which every author would be entitled to a fair reward for his labours. All honest men on both sides of the Atlantic must admit that it is downright dishonesty to obtain the works of such men as BYRON, SCOTT, and MOORE, with all the delight they afford to 'the reader, and at the same time refuse to make them any compensation. These two great coun tries; enjoying the same lan guage , customs, l aws, an d the same representati ve system of Government, would become more and more united by being placed on the same footing as independent nations, and would thereby contribute to the improvement as well as the diffusion of a language, which in a few years will in all probability be more general than any ever spoken by the human race. In the meantime Mr. DICKENS purposes, and he recommends the plan to other authors, that no correspondence should be hell with the pirates, and that no negotiation for the sale of early proofs should be entered into with a ny but the most respectable American publishing houses. Letters from Constantinople of the 23d of June, re ceived on Monday in Paris, announce that the Sublime Porte had sent two frigates and three corvettes, laden with troops, munitions o£ war, and a supply o f money,. to the coast of Syria. Notwithstanding the re monstrances of Great Britain, Austria, and France, the Divan had resolved to adhere to its own Syrian policy of maintaining the power of OMAR PAOLA, and op pressing the Christians of Lebanon. What a commentary is this upon the Morning Chronicle's flourish of trumpets about Lord PONSONBY'S eStablishment of British influ ence in Stamboul) . The note of triumph was Sounded on Monday in that journal, to soothe the temper of thy Noble Lord, probably ruffled by the fatigues of his journey, and his reception by his late colleagues ; and the wail of woe and disappointment is recorded to-day by the same veracious and consistent oracle of undiluted Whiggery. Yes, Lord PONSONBY left the British power so paramount at Constantinople that we cannot effect the removal of a renegade Pacha from ‘ a country yet reeking with British blood, shed in restoring it to the dominion of the Sublime Porte OMAR PACII4 is by birth an Austrian subject, and was, or professed to be, a Chris tian for many years of his life. He went to Turkey as a pennyless adventurer, and renounced his faith to obtain the means of living.- He is a wretch pol luted with the worst" - crimes ; and yet all the boasted influence bequeathed by Lord PONSONBT'S Cbronitb-lauted diplomatic career to Great Britain, joined with the prayers of the Christian tribco of Lcba. non, cannot effect the removal of this bad man from u province purchased by British valour for the SULTAN. Does not this one fact attest all that we have ever said of Lord Porisot.arti ? The French elections exclusively occupy the co lumns of the French papers. According to the returns known in Paris up to an t arly hour on Monday morning, there was a considerable increase on the side of the Opposition. The Ministers have all been returned. We must await the returns from the remote departments, before predicting whether the present Cabinet has a chance of continuing in office. From the accounts which we receive from Toulon, it appeals that a general impremirin exists that the events which have lately taten place in Algeria may decide the future destiny of the colony, if they are wisely turned to account. Thus it is now out of doubt that the whole country from Algiers to Tlemcen, included between the first chain of Mount Atlas • and the sea, is completely subdued. Only some bands of marauders are met with, in the country, a thing which is inevitable, after a war of several years' duration. Peace now rests on a solid foundation. We have made no treaty with a powerful chief ; the tribes have been obliged to submit unconditionally, and instead of with drawing, or even diminishing certain garrisons in the interior, they are increased. We continue to maintain strong garrisons at Aledealt Milliana, Mascara, and Tlemcen, by which we are able to suppress, immediately, any hostile movement, But it is necessary to think of something else. besides war. We have already seen moments in which•the Arabs seemed to be entirely paralysed. Then we committed a series of faults, and their energy revived. Whatever may be the Cabinet to which the elections are going to give power, it. will have great duties to perform with respect to our possessions in Africa. Ministerialists and Oppo sitionists all have agreed, when addressing the electoral body, to come forward as the adveriaries of England in the affair of the right of search. The prolongation of the ptov;sional state of things in Algeria would likewise be a conmesion to England. A letter from Alexandria of the 21st of June, in the Augs burg Gazette, sa)s :—" The news from Syria of the 11th is very deploranle ;, it proves that the accusation brought against the Porte of fermenting the disturbances in that country, are well founded. The Turkish policy manifested itself more and more openly."— Cornine;•ee. HANGING THE PRoPIIETS.—In speaking of the dis tresses of the country on Monday in the House of Corn mans, Mr. Gahy Knight seems to have lashed lihnself into a very distressing state of wrath. " The loud dv nunciations and prophecies of evil," observed the Hon. Member, "which had been so lavishly indulged in, could nut but inflame the passions of those to whom they were addresseJ ; when he heard men predict the possibility of insurrection, all be would say was, that if an insurrec tion broke out, the first thing which ought to be done, would be,to hang theFophet ."—Mr.G.Knighthere shows himself a Tory of the -stiff, old George the Taird one of those rough, unceremonious gentlemen, who, if they had lived in the days of Isaiah, would certainly have hanged him, for predicting the fall of Nineveh We agree, however, with the Hon. Member, that there is much virtue in hanging, but the virtue lies, not so much in the experimrnt it,elf, as in the proper applica tion of it. Hang all tho,e who predict disasters to the country from the selfish class-legislation of the Monopo lists, and you leave matters in no better state than you found them ; but hang the Monopolists themselves, who sow the seeds of such disasters, and you at once ensure a remedy, which—however inconvenient and unac ceptable it may be to the individual sufferers—wil be attended with inestimable benefit to the community at large. "Four-and-twenty Tories all in n row," strung up, like so many, dried haddocks, on a genteel and con fortab!e gallows, erected for their express accommoda tion, would be the best practical form in which the Hon. Member's "hanging" argument could possibly develop° itself. The experiment, it will be observed, does not originate with us ; Mr. Knight is entitled to the honour of its suggestion ; we contend only for its just and fitting application. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PARIS, JULY 11. The elections are by no means favour - able to -the Ministry. In Paris they have lost two members— ia Rouen on?. They hare gained one in Strasburg ---th© other great towns return the same members. In smaller pine-es opposition has prevailed. The Legitimists have especially gained. At four o'clock on Monday the OppoLition calculated o❑ having already gained seventeen votes—an important change, one that would indicate the nmessity of a Pussy and Death%) Cabinet. Delessert, Piscatory, and several 31:nisterialists, re jected. M. Guizot has been elected at Lizieux. The remaining elections being for smaller and remote places may restore the balance as before. The funds were agitated on• the Paris Bourse. The Three per Cents. fell, at one time, to 79 20, but closed at 79 55. The elections, as announced early, were unfavourable to Ministers ; later iu the day, the accounts were of a different kind. On the Bourse it was said that the new Conservative Deputies elected amounted to 184, the Radicals to 148, but the feeling on the Bourse was not of security in the maintenance of the present Ministry. SCHOLES RACES. TO THE EDITOR OF !'HE SUN. SlR,—lierewith I beg to hand you or.e of our Bolton news papers. An article you will find—viz., " &holes Races." I think if her Majesty can attend scot, Newmarket, &c., and greatly support them with her purse, the very poor of Scholes ought not to be deprived of this national treat, after so many other privations.--1 am, Sir, moat respectfully, Bolton, July I I, 1842. NO CANT. . . The following is the paragraph referresi to SCHOL ES itA cEs. —This dangerous and disgraceful practice was resumed on Monday evening last. These races have, fur a number of years past, been kept up annually ; but owing to an accident of a serious nature which befel one of t.he " jockeys," last year but one, they were put a stop to on the following anniversary. The reason of their again being resumed, we are at a - loss t conjecture. By this practice being allowed, a vast concourse of men, women, and chldrcn are collected together ; and while the horses are ' capering and prancing,' many serious accidents m;ght occur. We think it would be highly praiseworthy were the authorities to put a stop to such practices."—Bolton F. es Press. Lts our Liberal Contemporary really serious when he pro poses to put down races because men, women, and children meet together in their best dresses, with joyful countenances— because horses " caper and prance," and serious accidents may occur ? He would of course put down all fairs, for a wild bull might break loose amo‘g the men, women, and ehildren—he would put down all balls, all religious and convivial meetings, because the floor might give way, or the roof, nay, perhaps, the sky fall, and cause 'many serious accidents ;" there would be an end to fox-hunting, to boat-racing, to cricket, to swim ming, which sometimes ends in drowning, and even to walking, which risks the safety of the tibia and fibula. Horses were made for running, men for active and daring exercise, and those who arc afraid to do what nature teaches, should hide themselves in sequestered holes and corners, and sleep with the moles and bats. Our Contemporary, however, cannot be serious, and must have put forth this solemn warning to show the hypocrites a perfect specimen of the reductio ad absurdum SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

On the third d y the Cup (50 subs.), the Racing Stakes of 50 sous, each (26 subs. ), a Sweepstakes of 25 sous. each, for 2-yrs old ( 1.2 subs.), the Molecomb Stakes of 50 stirs. each (15 subs.), the Duke of Richmond's Plate, and the Anglesey Stakes for gentlemen riders. The meeting will finish on Friday with the ;March Stakes for gentlemen riders (certain to produce two classes, and a challenge lace); the Chesterfield Cup, (38 subs.), the Nassau Stakes of 50 sous. each (22 subs.), and two matches. Without counting the heats therefore (they are not only superfluous but infra dig. ), the sport for each day is almost unequalled in value and extent. The Marquis of Westminster and Sir W. M. Stanley, Bart. are stewards. The I aces will commence each day at half past twelve o'clock precisely. The Earl of IL:000r _transacted business at the Home Ace yesterday morning.

It is supposed that the news from France was made use of to depress the Funds to-day, more particularly for the pur pose of obliging certain weak parties, who have been operat►ng for a rise, to close their accounts. This opinion is confirmed to some extent by the fact that during the whole of the period which has elapsed since the last settlement every disposition which has been perceivable in the funds to advance, has been immediately checked, and with out any apparent cause. Jobbers have for some time evinced much disinclination to enter into busi ness until after the 15th, when, it is supposed, that the indiv►duals above alluded to will be obliged to charge their tactics. Consols this afternoon partially recovered from the decline of the morning, and left off at 91, buyers both for Money and for the Account.

Stock. The quarterly sale of Indigo commenced to-day, and the pro. !victors giving great support, the prices of April, tb 3d. per p iund advance, were readily ob'ained. Of the 841 chests which already have been put up, 633 were sold, of which the larger pro portion was for shipping ; the home trade, though numerous in their attendance, apparently hanging back from purchasing. This may, perhaps, be accounted for by the circumstance, that large parce!s of former sales still remain to be forwarded, in consequence of the intended reduction in the duty. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The intelligence from France of the adverse tendency of the eections, as far as they have proceeded, to the present Minis try, had the effect of depressing Consols to 94. It is cone sidered that advantage has been taken of the circumstance of a few having gone against the party now in poaer, while the. fact of others having been favourable has been kept back. Parties very likely to be well informed are of opinion that the final result will be a indjority of between 40 and 50 in their Lvour. The prices have semew hat recovered from the mo mentary decline, and C.eisols are 91 for Money and far the opening, and 911 9.. for the August account, with an ap pearance of being still higher.

The bonds quoted to-day are—Colombian, 22i; Portuguese Five per Cents., 33% ; and Spanish i hree per Cents., 20i. Money continues exceedingly abundant,•and a sum for which a parcel of Bank Stock was borrowed, could not be employed at one per cent. although offered at rate. The business at the Custom-house has been very extensive this morning, and it is to be noticed that a large portion of the goods cleared were either necessaries of consumption or manufactures. The quantity of coffee taken out of bond has far exceeded what might have been expected, fully showing that dealers must have have been quite bare of stock. Although so much extra labour• has thus been caused, yet scarcely any beyond the ordinary time has been consumed in passing entries. The Russell, Glover, arrived at Liverpool, has brought ac counts from New York to the 23d ult. The news, however, 1), , this arrival, like that by the packet-ship England, is equally barren of iiitere.t. Business at New York, arid at the other principal parts of the Union, continued without improvement. Sales in the Stock Market are limited. The impetus given to the Cotton Market by the recent advices from England had subsided, and prices had a downward tendency. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 11.—A fair quan tity of Cotton was sold to day, at the quotations of last week. The market preserved a quiet tone, and 5,000 bales met with purchasers; 500 American were taken on speculation. LIVE AFOOT.

SUMMARY OF NEVIS AND Vatlit Qr tiltint. " Who runs mcy read." ronExclz. The all-absorbing topic in the French Journals of Sunday, is the elections." The preparatory operation of nominating the bureaux in the different colleges of Paris took place on Sa turday, and is evidently less favourable to Ministers than was expected. Out of fourteen colleges, the Opposition boasts of having a majarity in nine of them, as is apparent from the in dividuals nominated. Nevertheless, the Ministerial organs congratulate each other on the result, in the very same terms that the Opposition makes use of, the Presse and the National both exclaiming, La journey a ete bonne. The Charivari of Sunday states that the result of the eke torah rperations on Saturday, to constitute the bureaux or poll ing planes, promised, for the next day's ball,t, to the Opposi tion an almost general success. Of the twelve Parisian c,:l leges, only two appeared doubtful, if the Sunday's scrutiny were to be taken as a test. The courtier Francais writes as follows :—" Courage, electors ! 'T•l:e ixeltmiratries of the tattle are favourable to us ; in this affair of advanced posts for the nomination of the polling Committees we have obtained the advantage in nine colleges. This is a good sign fur Sunday's scrutiny. Be all at your post." The Commerce • asserts that the Opposition had gained ten out of fourteen Committees. _ _ The Royalist Quotidienne remarks the absence of such a large number of electors from the bureaux so that no adequate opinion could be formed of the physiognomy of the , electors. `1 he Presse admits that it is not the Oppos'tion which had to regret the absence of the electors. although it claims tie advantage for the Conservatives in the first, second, and tenth colleges, and describes the third as doubtful. The Debuts alludes to the absence of the Conservatives, and predicts that the Opposition, who, in 1839, returned nine, will now only send six or seven Deputies. The opening of the Swiss Diet leads attention to the affair of the convents. It aprears that there is a bare majority in the Diet for voting the accounts; but the strong minority of eleven Cantons will be able to resist the majority of twelve. The Alexandria Correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette says that the reason of the flight of the Emir A Vallah, net hew of Emir Peschir, on board the British vesst I off Beyrout, aas the attempt Of Mustapha Pacha to force him to sign a petition to the Porte against the restoration of the Beschirs. It appears that' Russia is determined on dethroning Pritme Shika. The Hospodar received funds for the payment of I:2,000 soldiers, and kept hut 5,960 on foot. 'f he Govertnuent of Charles X. and Louis X VIII. did the same. PATLZIAMENTAWY. _ Lord Wharncliffe announced last night that the Government meant to remain perfectly passive in respect to the Collieries Hill. The Lords only received some petitions, and made some ob servations on Hudales system, and on the system of education generally. Lord Wharncliffe rather flattered the notion, we are afraid, when be raid that would Parliament grant a suffi cient sum.of money we should soon be the best educa - ed 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 Cnmmons, presented a petition from Mr. Ilullah's classes, and expressed au opinion favourable to a' grant. Sir R. Peel, with the unanimous approbation of the House, brought in a Bill for the better security of her Majesty's pet son, which was read a first find second time. The House wa;subsequently engaged with the Poor-law Bill in Committee. On a division, an amendment, moved by Mr. Sharman Crawford, to continue the Commission fur one year only, was lost by 164 to 92 ; and the Commission conti nued for five years. The House adjourned at Quarter to Two o'Clock. 'az° le EY— TRI2,IIZ—OOI%/ZtVEZWZ.

A new lig - CC hou,e, 240 feet above the level of the sea, and to be seen at a distance of 24 miles, has been erected east of Morro Castle, at St. Jago de Cuba. _ The ships Erebus and Terror, belonging to the South Pole Expedition, got at the end of last Febr - uaii within 100 miles 01 frankliu Island, where a landing was effected last year. Here they were damaged by a stormy night, and w,re obliged to return to the Falkland Islands, where they arrived on the 6th of Apra. One man had been drowned off Cape Horn, but all else are well. ' LAW AND isoracE. At Marlborough-street, on Monday, Richard Hanky was charged with rubbing a number of ready-furnished hom-es of plate and other valuable property, to a large amount, and Ed ward Gifford and Sarah Ann Hunt, two persons living together in Warwick-street, were brought up for felaniousl : receiving the sto!en property, which, it was said, amounted to at least 1,000!. One case was proved against them, when the pities were bound over to prosecti - e, and the prisoners were remanded till Wednesday week. John Thomp3nn, said to be a large earthenware manufac turer at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, was brought before the Alagi strates, at the Uxbridge Petty Sessions, charged with pre senting what appeared to be a pistol at a young lady, named Bloomfield, whereby she became greatly alarmed. The offence was committed at the Drayton station, on the Great Western Railway. On the pistol being examined, it turned out to be only an imitation of a pistol, made of earthenware. The pri saner pleaded intoxication ; Miss Bloomfield did not appear, and the Magistrates, therefore, fined the silly fellow 405., under the Railway Act. Robert Lindsay Crawford, claimant to the peerage of Ciaw ford Lindsay and Garroek, in Scotland, was brought before Mr. Trail!, at Union Hall, on the double charge of bigamy and returning from transportation before the expiration of his sentence. It appeared that the prisoner had been convicted of horse-stealing in lea, at Londonderry, and was sentenced to be transported for life. He was accordingly transported to Sydney, and remained there in the employ of Chief Justice Dowling t ill 1833, when he mad e hi s esca p e .

Several incendiririfires_, accompanied by threatening letters, have taken place during the past three weeks in the neighbour hood of Havant, Hampshire. The Rector's barn has been burned down, and a valuable carriage in it. At High y. combe, Bucks, on Thursday, also, an incendiary fire occurred, traces of the design being left. • Lady Wittinghara died a few days since, on her way, with Prince Paul of Wurtemberg, to Aix-la-Chapelle. She was the widow of General Wittingham, who held an important command in Inßa,.and was also a native of Spain, being to be descended irom the illustrious family of Ximenes. She was a woman remarkable for her abilities. We have received from varicu; quartets, lists of . the Income-lax Commissioners for different parts of the country, but we cannot find room for them all. On looking over the list sent from the County of Essex, we find not fewer than twelve clergymen in the Comraission, and we are not sorry to see their names, because they ought to be well acquainted with the means of their parishoners, and may be of use in protect ing them against surcharges. THE 14UMBER Taourtas.—At Guildhall yester day, the long standing dispute between Mr. Beck, the pro prietor of the Dr. Johnson's Tavern, Bolt-court, Fleet -street, and the Lumber Troopers, was decided to be settled by arbitra tion, at the suggestion of Sir Peter Laurie, who advised that course, in. preference to having recourse t o a Court of Law. Mr. Beck claims upwards of 1001. LIE INCOME-TAX.—The clerks in the Custom house have, like the holders of. Dock bonds, already had a fore taste of the Income-tax.

ADHESIVE WAFERS ON N E WSPAPERS.—By a cor respondence in the Manchester Guardian, it appears that a gentleman received a newspaper sealed with a printed adhesive wafer or label, and which was charged by the Post-office autho rities for having " information on the wrapper. The gentle man complained to the Postanatter-GenerJ, and received for a replythat the newspaper was correctly charged, and the amount of postage could not be refunded. I:BE SEASON AND TILE CROPS.—We have had de luges o f ra i n s i nce our l as t i n this part of the country, espe cially yesterd a y, w h en it p o u r ed down as it seldom does out of the tropics.

Liszt) t•t, J u Lti 4. —The Slave-trade and Commercial Treaties :save at length been signed, and will be sent to Englatal for ,-atification by this packet. A conference was held yestesday at the Portuguese Foreign-office, when the two Plenipoten tiaries -affixed their signatures to both treaties. 'I he term pre scribed fOr ratification is two months, or sooner if possible. I believe the Slave-trade Treaty, as.now agreed to by Portugal, is very complete. The traffia is declared piracy, and the Go vernment will issue a dem ee bared on the one of tXcember, 1836, but declaring the traffic suppressed by . that decree to ba piracy, and affixing severe secondary punishments to its commission. As regards the Commercial Treaty, it is compara tively of small importance to us, until the alterations in the tariff are agreed upon ; but another Report is expected - to be presented to-day by the Portuguese Commissioners, and there seems reason to think that, by the time the ratification; have b .en exchanged, the tariff e i uestion will have been satisfactorily settled. The Portuguese Certes meet on Sunday next, and the conclusion of the treaties with England will of course form a prominerit feature of the Queen's Speech. The tree • ties themselves will become law here when ratified, and the same with respect to any reduction of duties which the Govern ment here may effect by decree underahe charter. 'the Charter confers on the Crown the powers necessary to conclude all treaties with foreign Powers ; unless involving a ceision of territory they become law without the interposnit.la of the Legislature. The Mioistry remains unchanged at present. Offers have been male both to the Duke of Palnictla and Senhor It. F. Magalhaes, but neither will accept the o ffice. The Duke is, no doubt, wise in doing so; he is President of the a.hambet of Peers, and would always be consulted, and have more power, pedlar, out of office than he would in (libel'. As to Scutum. R. F. Magalhaes, lie is said to intend holding quite aloof at present. The Portuguese Government has come to the conclusion of giving up the Spanish slaver captured by the Portuguese at Mozambique, under Portuguese colours, two years ago, and sent here under the name of General Marinho, having been condemned by the authorities at Mozambique. Had our. treaty been concluded this would not have happetied, as the case would then have been taird by a mixed British and Portugu, se com mission, from whom decision there is no appeal. There was an./meteor bull fight on Thursday, at which near 4,0e:0 persons were present. 'the Conde de Vitnioso, and D. Jose de Louie, were the two cavaliers.

The brig Brower of Whitehaven, Jackson master, coal laden for the Government, was totally lost at Fayal on June 13, 160 tons saved. The captain and crew are arrived by the Isis. The West India steamer Trent sailed from Ha vannah for New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico on June 6th. The Teviot returned from Mexico on the 14th, and was left caaling at Havannah on the 15th. Tt:e Forth arrived at Nassau trim 'Turk's Island and 13arbadoes on the 18th, and was to leave Nassau fur Havannah the same evening. The Tay did not arrive at Barbadoes until June 7th. The Tweed was still on the line from Turk's Is'and to and from Jamaica. The Isis was 30 hours at Bermuda, receiving 116 tons of coals, and unless much better arrangements exist than at present in this branch of their ill-planned service, serious and frequent detentions of the packets must be the result. 'The sailing of the West India steamers has been much over rated in the plans laid down by the company. The '1 Names and Isis are probably the best sailers since the loss of the beau tiful Medina, the finest and fastest ship of the twelve. Their average speed may be estimated at from 9* to 10i knots ier hour, : , :hen not deep in the water, and when quite light, they will go 11 knots. We have been assured from the best authority that the Isis is a very fine ship, and that her internal arrangements, good order, and harmony are such as reflect the highest credit en her able captain and officers. Site has made one of the quickest passages ever known, perhaps the shortest of the distance, having been only 20 days and one hour steaming from the Moro Castle of Havannah into Falmouth harbour, 4.224 miles, exclusive of her stoppages at Nassau, Bermuda, and Fayal. The Company's steamers having been discontinued from going up the North American coati, - `the City of Glasgow steamer is coming home with oneof her engines broke down. Her Majesty's steamer Warspite, Captain the Right lion. Lord Hay, &vied from Barbadoes for New York, Slay 21, to take home Lard Ashburton.

At Demerara business on the sugar estates was almost ruined, front the aversion o!' the negroes to work ; they haviag mostly left the colsny and " squ tied" in the interior. At Bat bmioes, en the contrary, labour was ahuntiaat and wages low; 24,000 hogsheads of sugar were exp. reed for this year's crop At Ha vaiinah trade was said to be very dull, but many ships, chiefly American and Dutch, were in port loading. The newly-appointed British Censul-Grneral Crawford had arrived at Havannah, from Jamaica, in the Osprey. The Countess of Elgin had been indisposed, but by the latest accounts her health was fast imp.oving. The Kingston Markets' reports w , re—Sugar, 21s. 6d. to 265. and 275. ; Coffee, from (6s. to 80s. ; and b4s. per cwt. Correa Da Costa having taken an interesting part in the ernan ipation of the African race, at Martinique, Guadalouye, Porto Rico, Cuba, Curacao, Surinam, St. Bartholomew, st. Martin, and St. Croix, and having published a series of violent articles on the subject, the Governor of Porto Rico, knowiag that he had arrived at St. Thomas, was airaid of his presence so near to Porto Rico, and therefore requested the Governor, General Oxholin, to order him to quit the island. Correa Da Costa lett immediately for Tortola, where he arrived in an open boat, tut safe. Died at St. Ann's garrison, last night, after a short illness, Lieut.-Colonel Tyler.

FALMOUTH, JULY B.—Her Majesty's packet, Swift, Lieut. Douglas, sailed this morning with the mails for Madeira and the Brazils. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. BRIGHTON, JULY 10.—On Friday evening two boys, about nine years of age, were unfortunately drowned off Brunswick .square, while bathing. Several persons were near the spot at the time, notwithstanding which nearly an hour elapsed before the bodies were brought on shore, when, of course, life was quite extinct. The bodies being found in different places, one in the parish of Hove, the other in Bright o n, l e d to t wo inquests being held. The first was held before Mr. Gell last evening, at the Brunswick Hotel, on the body of Walter Hoad, step-son of a man named Goddaril, residing in Cavendish-place North. Charles Wicks, a boy 12 years of age, deposed, that after leaving school on Friday afternoon, he accompanied Howl and another boy, yarned Martin, to the beach between Bruns wick. square and Mill's-terraceo for the purpose of bathing. Martin went in first, Huad followed, and witness went in last. It was nearly low water, and they could widk on the sand bank, but the sea was rather rough. Martin, after pro ceeding some distance, got out of his depth, and began to sink. Hoed thereupon said he would go and help him, and he was proceeding towards Martin, when he also got out of his depth. Witness then called to some men who were collecting boul ders, and they called to a young man who was bathing to go to the fpet, but by this time both the boys had finally sunk. Some fisher,men then searched fur the bodies in thi it boats, but it was three quarters of an hour before 'load's body was found. ----- I he jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The second inquest was held immediate!) afterwards at the Bedford Hotel, on the body of Richard Martin, the son of a Brighton policeman. when a similar verdict was returned. PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THIS CUSTWIS BILL Dissentient.-1. Because, fully admitting- the necessity of a re vision of the Customs' duties, and th e soun d ness of the prin. ciFles on which, in most respects, that revision is professed to have been made, I find that this Bill carries out those principles vi , rlimperfectly, and falls lamentably short of what the neces sities of the times require. 2. Because it expressly excepts from its operation the duties on the importation of corn, grain, me .1 or flour, sugar and mo lasses, and omits all modification of the duties on butter and cheese imported from foreign countries, and thus will fail to afford, with respect to those essential articles, any alleviation to the present sufferings of the people. 3. Because, in consequence of these omissions, the distress of many persons, who will be thrown out of employment by the alteration of the duties on certain manufactured articles, will be greatly increased.' 4. iseliause I believe that by this Bid no one differential duty, now existing, ii removed ; but I find several new ones imposed, and the difference in many old ones increased, and it. was argued in debate by Ministers that the Principle of dir ferential duties as applied to colonies was a fair one, and ad mitted by them that the now schedule of duties imposed by this Bill was in many respects framed in conformity with that opinion ; whereas I hold all differential duties to be both in consistent with every sound principle of financial kgislatit- n (whether enacted for the purpose of revenue, or with the view of giving aid or showing favour to colonies or f ireign states 1, and injurious bosh to the State which imposes them, (as thus laying burdens on its own subjects, without ant' advantage to its exchequer, for the benefit of for , igners), arid to the noun try supposed to he favou.ed, by holdi g out to its peop!e in ducements to divert capital from its natural, and therefore its most useful and profitable, to other less advantageous ern ploy ment. RADNOR, KINNAIRD AND ROSSIE. CONSERVATIVE GATIIERING.—It is reported that there was a large gathering. of Conservative Members at Sir Robert Peel's yesterday, nominally for the pur pose of considering what would be the best course to adopt with regard to the Poor-law. It is, however, ru moured that the real object is to sound the Conservatives as to the propriety of relaxing the rigour of the existing Corn-law.
