Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends boast very much of, the effect of the new tariff. During the first week it came into operation, the Custom-houses of London and the outports were crowded with people clearing goods—extra clerks were required, it was said—and more business was done in that week, than had been dOne before for six months. Its beneficial effects are visible in an importation of horned cattle from Rot terdam and pigs from Sweden. Already, the grocers of the Metropolis have placarded their windows with " Effects of the Tariff. Prime Java Coffee, is. Bd. per lb," and so on. Potatoes may soon be expected from the Ems and the Weser, and, conjoined with a good harvest at home, we are told to expect universal cheapness. Far be it from us to deny the advantages of ever so small a reduction of duty, or of the removal of ever so trifling a restriction on trade ; but we inlay . be allowed to ask, if such great benefits are to flow from reducing certain extrava gant duties, and lightening certain onerous restric tions, what would he the effect of the total abolition of such fiscal regulations ? if the grocer, instead of placarding his windows with Coffee, ls. Bd., could put up Best Coffee, is. ; Best Refined Loaf Sugar, 3d. ; Best Rice, Id. ;—if the butcher, too, instead of ests hibiting no bill at all, by the total abolition of all duties on foreign cattle of all descriptions, could announce the glorious news of Prime Joints at 4d., Necks and Scrags, Id. ;—if the baker, also, by the total abolition of Corn-laws, could put up bills, stating Best Bread sold here, four pounds for 3d. ;—and if the green-grocer could gladden the hearts of all the eaters of potatoes with an announcement that he would willingly sell six pounds for a penny—would there not be a jubilee throughout the land? Men would be frantic with hap piness. Would not the hearts of thousands be imme diately gladdened, and their eyes be dried ? Would not mothers again clasp their little ones to their bosoms with affection, and piously and gratefully thank GOD the dreadful famine was at an end ? Would not the down-stricken father, ton, immediately hasten to his old employer, and willingly offer his services on the master's terms, sure to receive the employment which had been denied him for weeks ? Would not all the green-grocers, bakers, butchers, and grocers immediately hold up their heads, and feel certain that their trade would again revive ? All these things would occur ; and the rejoicing of the Monopolists or Peelites over the benefits of some paltry reduction of duties, and some substitution of high duties for prohi bitions, is their testimony to the immensely larger be nefits which would accrue from th?. total abolition of all discriminating duties. And who would be injured by tit: sa! cheap ness ? We are all consumers and must all benefit by it. Consider for a moment what a large mass of society is composed Under the terms manual labourers and shopkeepers, clerks 'and manufacturers, artisans and salaried workmen ! Why these terms embrace four-fifths of society, and all would be benefited by following out the principles which are so feebly acted on in the tariff. The remaining fifth of society, consisting of the landowners and parsons, and a few great capitalists, the value of whose stock or ca pital might be subject to a reduction—though the an nual income derived from it, considered as a power of purchasing other commodities, would not be at all lowered —might be injured, though we doubt whether they would, by the inestimable benefit conferred oil the other four-fifths of the society. In a communi cation read yesterday at the Anti-Corn-law Con ference, a farme r dwelt on the price of seed and of labour, as enhanced by the Corn-laws; he might have added, the cost of the keep of his animals for labour, and of all the skilled labour he is compelled to buy, is enhanced by the same cause ; so that he would share the inestimable benefits of the universal cheapness, as well as starving women and children, and unemployed workmen. In fact, the whole com munity, without exception, would share in the delight which labourers and Shopkeepers would feel at the announcements we have adverted to. To confer these immeasurable benefits on society is yet in the power of the Legislature. It is only necessary to forego its deadly gripe, to loosen the fetters it has cast around us, to remove the taxes and restrictions which it; and it alone, has imposed. Na ture, or Gm), puts no impediments in the way of trade. He leaves commerce free. Ile invites men, by endowing the world with different climates, to engage in it. He teaches them how to make the trackless ocean, which might seem an insuperable obstacle to c ommunication, the means of wafting nation& and their wealth from shore to shore. All the obstacles, therefore, to universal cheapness and universal plenty, which those who boast of the benefit of the small reductions made by PEEL imply would be the result of the abolition of duties and restrictions, are caused by the ignorant or the malignant law maker. Contrasting what society might be, merely as to plenty—the admitt e d result of the abolitiOn of fiscal duties and restrictions —with What it is under those restrictions, legislation as sumes, as it were, the characteristics of a demon which delights in bl as ti ng th e happiness of m an ki nd. and delight, f r o m On the one hand i s a b un d a n ce , joy, removing fetters, taxes, and monopolies ; on the other is dearth, sorrow, agony, and crime, from continuing them._ How long does the Legislature, which comes bafore the nation in such colours, count, let us so lemnly ask, on receiving the respect, the love, the obedience of mankind? It was truly said by the Earl of RADNou last night, that their Lordships were about to pass the Colliery Bill to put an end to immorality, as the law puts down a disorderly house. So the Earl of DEVON said that the practice of women working in a colliery with men almost in a state of nudity, must have a direct and immediate tendency to promote vice and im- I morality. Is not this inference of the Noble Earl, and of the supporters of the Bill, more a suggestion of some prurient imagination than a reality ? The Commissioners have riot adduced a single fact to prove that the naked collier lads and lasses are more immoral than than the well-dressed youth of both sexes in the metropolis, or than the well-fed and carefully clothed servants of the Peers. The se verity of the toil, and the danger to which both par ties are continually exposed in the pits, assure us that sexual immorality must he there the rare exception, not the rule. If their Lordships had read the Re port they would have observed ;the age of puberty is much retarded in the collier children, which is a complete contradiction of the assumption that the passions are excited by the nudity of the people. " In estimating," says Dr. S. SMITH, in a note to page 195, " the influence on the physical constitution of great muscular exertion constantly enacted during the period of childhood, one further result of it deserves especial notice, namely, the retardation of the epoch of puberty. Attention was first drawn to this result during the ex amination by one of the Commissioners of some young persons at a thin seam coal pit in Yorkshire, in which the work was particularly laborious, and the pit more than commonly wet and dirty. The young persons who came under observation were stated to be various ages, from fourteen to eighteen, and one case wis nineteen. Ou a careful examination of them, the Commissioner found that, with the exception of the teeth, which had ' developed naturally, there was not present a single sign of puberty. The same was subsequently found to be the case with great numbers o f y oung p ersons exam i ne d specially with reference to this point, in many pits in the neighbourhood of Wakefield and Halifax, and a similar retardation, though not in so great a degree, was ob served in girls." With all deference, therefore, to the Earl of DE VON, and the gentlemen who have made such a great outcry about the immoralities that are practised in narrow gutters, and against coal-walls under ground, where the man lies on his side, working a pick, in a :nose constrained and irksome position, we believe that the public have been deluded and cheated by the false inferences of an unchaste imagination. Naked ness is not immorality. The colliers do not wantonly expose their persons ; they are constrained, by the tem perature of the mines, and the nature of their occu pation, to work almost naked ; and it is incorrect to infer from that that they must be immoral. We be lieve they are as moral as the best clothed people in the empire ; and the law that is passed to interfere with their occupations, as if they were a violation of morality, is based on a wrong foundation. A parson of the name of MELVILLE, whom Mr. MILNER GlnsoN represents as in close connexion with several of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, as advising them probably on religious matters—giving them abso lution possibly for the many sins they commit against the people, evidently soothing their consciences by his opinions, who is represented, too, as one of the most e!oquent parsons of the day, has, according to Mr. MILNER GIBSON, said— That the tendency u hich of late years has been so largely exhibited in this country—the tendency to the exchanging an agricultural for a manufacturing popula tion—to the gathering the people into dense masses, for which it were almost hopeless to attempt providing means of Christian instruction (even if the frightful de mands upon strength and upon time allowed of their being used, supposing them provided), that this tendency is amongst the most fatal that was ever encouraged, and is but likely to continue, working out an increasing and even irremediable disaster. We hope that Mr. M. Ginsort has reported incor rectly of the parson, for certainly a greater display of impious ignorance we have rarely met with in any passage of a parson's discourse, which, considering the impious language habitually used by parsons, is saying a great deal. We apprehend that Mr. MEL VILLE will not deny, whether he consult the Scrip tures, or trace the history of man, that it is a command of Gon, that the human race should replenish the earth. He cannot deny that the law of population is as much a part of nature as the law of gravity. It is the consequence of this law that men multiply on the earth, and, multiplying on the earth, they must become crowded, or gathered into dense masses, and yet the parson says, perhaps supposing himself in spired, that this natural and inevitable consequence of the law of Gon is the most fatal tendency that was ever encouraged. It is at least certain that it haS taken place all over the world, except, perhaps, in wretched Ireland; and from Pekin to Manchester, as the people have multiplied, they have been gathered into dense masses. The reasons are obvious. As men multiply, division of labour and skill increases. A comparatively small and ever-diminishing portion of society suffices to provide the raw material of subsistence for the whole In the progress of society less and less labour is re quired to provide food. There can be no doubt whatever that the agricultural productions of England have much increased, as the manufacturing towns have grown up ; and no doubt whatever, that those increased productions do net require an equal in crease of hands to provide them. There is only a small increase of agricultural population. There has been no exchange, then, of an agricultural for a manu facturing population ; but the latter has grown up additional to the former, and the dense masses have both provided a market for the additional agricultural produce, and have found employment and food, and have so kept in existence, as they have absorbed into themselves the ever-increasing spare hands of the agricultural districts. The skilled labour which grows up in every society subsequently to agriculture, does not require, like agriculture, a large space for its operations. On the contrary, the smith, the tailor, the wheelwright, the spinner, the weaver, the iounder, the collier, &c., all working with and for one another, save time and save labour by living close together. They must communicate with each other. The weaver gets his yarn from the spinner, the spinner his machinery tiom the wheelwright, and the smith—now called the engineer—who must be at hand to repair it; and the smith fixes his furnace or forge as near as he can to the collier that he may get fuel as conveniently as he can. Then the crowding together of men into masses, which this parson impiously derides and vilifies, is the necessary and inevitable consequence of that increase of population which the ALMIGHTY has ordained. We do not exactly know the sense in which Mr. NIELvILLE uses the phrase, " even if the frightful demands upon strength and time allowed," but he cannot surely mean that the congregating the people into masses makes any additional demand on the par ion's strength or time to ',teach them. They are im mediately accessible to him, while he must travel miles through an agricultural community to get as many hearers as he may find in one workshop in Man chester or Birmingham. Gathering men into masses makes it easy and cheap to dispense amongst them all kinds of instruction; and though Mr. MELVILLE 1S obviously a most ignorant and unreflecting person, he cannot possibly mean that the gathering the people into masses adds to the difficulty of teaching them, and adds to the labour of the parson, though we know that it adds vastly to his wealth. What we believe Mr. MELVILLE means is that the " demands on the strength and the time of labourers" in manufacturing districts, make them Unable to pro fit by Christi an i nstruction. I f ut they profit by 1 other teaching. The bulk of the manufacturing po mlation are much better informed on most things than the bulk of the agricultural population. They Are much more accessible to teaching than the pea santry. Their time is not so fully occupied. That invaluable machinery they work with often requires but little attention. They can converse, and some times read, while they are at their labours. I 1 Air. NIELVILLE mean, therefore, that the masses in the ma nufacturing towns have neither time nor opp or t un i ty to profit by religious teaching, he shows himself pro ibundly ignorant of their condition. _ _ We'adrnit that they do not love Mr. MELVILLE'S Christianity. They are shocked at the idea of a Lord Bishop. The immense wealth of the parsons, who ,tdvocate, like Mr. MELVILLE, the continuance of the starvation laws, while they preach poverty, offends the :rood sense of the workmen. We admit that they are, to a great extent, not followers of the Church. They see that the whole life of the State parsons gives the lie to their doctrines, and they cannot believe. The unbelief in priesteraft, arising from the shrewdness which grows up amongst masses, is, as Mr. INlELvimx allows clearly to be seen, the source of his antipa thy to the town population. He will not have a town population in the land. He objects to the people living in dense masse3. He will thwart the ordinances of GOD, he will deride and vilify the work of creation, because the new town population is not servile, and will not consent to be priest-ridden. Rather than not have slaves, the priesthood, speaking by Mr. MELVILLE will starve the people. All parties are obliged to admit that Mr. ROEBUCK has clearly established all the charges of bribery and corruption advanced by him, when moving for his Committee, against the boroughs of Harwich, Not tingham, Lewes, Reading, Penryn and Falmouth, and Bridport ; and the bitterest opponents of the lion. and Learned Gentleman are compelled to acknow ledge that he has done so less offensively to indi viduals than was supposed possible from the na ture of the investigations upon which he entered. Mr. ROEBUCK exhibited throughout the greatest firmness, as well as the greatest moderation. The taunts and jeers by which he was constantly assailed appear to have no more ruffled his temper, than water would the plumage of a swan. Strong in the cause he had undertaken, and sure of his ground, he felt, or appears to have felt, that the greatest vengeance which he could take upon his assailants, would be by drawing up a Report, in which personal feeling would find no place, and in which something like an excuse would be found for the conduct of persons who had treated him with marked discourtesy and dislike. " The inquiry," in the language of the Report, " was not a judicial one; the Committee were not called upon to decide upon The legality or illega lity of the proceedings of any party, or upon the guilt or innocence of the transac tions in which any of the parties implicated were in ' volved in connexion with the alleged compromins and bribery practised in the boroughs comprehended in the order of reference. They understand their duty to have been to elicit and lay before the House, faithfully and clearly, all the facts of the several cases, rather with a view to expose the evils of a system, than by any direct expression of their own opinion to inculpate individuals, or di rectly to lay the foundation for any legislative enact ment with respect to the particular boroughs in ques tion." The just and proper inference from this is, that Mr. ROEBUCK did not consider the system of corruption, which he exposed in the case of the six above •mentioned boroughs, at all confined to them, and he is quite right. Bribery has become the rule, and purity the exception, in nearly all the smaller boroughs in England, Wales, and Ire land. The whole system is one of fraud, of collusion, of corruption, of perjury, of drunkenness, and of vice. Nor is bribery confined to the boroughs. In one shape or other it prevails everywhere. What are the Corn laws but bribes to the great agri culturists ? Brewers are bribed by imposing a prohibitory duty upon foreign wines ; cattle rearers are bribed by a heavy import duty on meat ; and landlords are bribed by every device to maintain unjust monopolies and high rents. This is the result, in a great measure, of the narrowness of constituen cies, which places it in the power of wealthy candidates to buy off, at nearly any price, the whole of the electors. Deeply reflecting men in reading this . Report, cannot but feel a powerful sense of national humiliation. Religious men will find in it much to abase their spiritual pride in the efficacy of the Established Church as a repressor of the most corrupt practices, on the part of her professed children and champions. They will find the rich, the powerful, the well-informed, and the externally pious aristocracy of wealth and sanctity leagued and banded together for the unlawful purpose of imprinting upon the soul of some poor ignorant wretch the burning brand of per jury.. They will find the WALTERS, the BERES FORDS, the BAGSHAWS, the Tory ATTWOODS, and such other heroes of Anglican orthodoxy, pouring corruption like a tide over every constituency in which electors are to be found ready to sell their country, their souls, and their GOD for a handful of sovereigns. The Journal du Havre, a French Paper, states that according to the late3t accounts from the United States the harvests there are so abundant that after supplying the wants of the inhabitants there will re main for exportation six millions of barrels of flour, each barrel weighing two hundred pounds. Now were England to abolish the Provision-laws this flour would be sent to this country, partly, to pay the State debts, and partly to exchange for Yorkshire broad cloths, Sheffield cutlery, and Staffordshire earthen ware, thus giving employment to an immense number of our starving poor. On the part of the United States too, there would be an end of the proposed Tariff, which threatens to throw two-thirds of our future trade with that country into the hands of smugglers. We shut our ports against the staples of the United States, wheat, barley, beef, pork, butter, hides, wool, and timber, and yet express surprise at the blindness of the Americans in retaliating upon us our miserable system of commercial policy. That system is everywhere shutting the ports of the world against us. It was shown by Lord PALMERSTON, in the de bate last week, upon Mr. DUNCOMBE'S motion ; that our restrictive system for benefiting the landlords at the expense of every other class deprived us of a pro fitable and constantly increasing trade with Sweden, Prussia, the whole circle of the German commercial union, and we might add of Spain, Portugal, and, to some extent, of Belgium. The question now is, shall we abandon that system and give life to our people, or adhere to it, and kill them off by starvation ? The Americans offer them abundance of food in exchange for their manufactures. Operatives of England, how long will you submit to see your children dying with hunger around you, to gratify the avarice of men who have the cruelty to shut out from you the food which the nations of the world are willing to exchange for the productions of your skill and industry ? There is no political news of interest in he French papers, especially as the Regency question excites no interest on this side of the Channel. The Duke of MONTROSE presided at a public meeting of the British residents in Paris on Saturday for preparing an address of condolence to the KING 011 the lamented death of the Duke of ORLEANS. The meeting was most respectably at tended, and an address unanimously agreed to. A letter from Mostaganem, of July 21*, in the Con stitutionnel, states that A bd-el-Kader lately appeared sud denly in the midst of the tribe:, of the Ouled-Chegara, who have submitted. He was recognised by some Arabs who were guarding their flocks, and who immediately took to flight, spreading everywhere the alarm, that the Emir was come to ravage their tribe. Before they had communicated their alarm to the Kaids, the Emir arrived in the Dollars, and asked to see the Chief, Sidi Ould• Abd-Allah. lie immediately came forward, and was surprised to find in the mouth of his ancient master words of kindness and friendship. Without appearing offended by the submission of the tribe, Abd-el-Kader inquired if they were pleased with the French alliance. He added that the will of Arbi, the name by whi c h th e Arabs designate the Most High , ought to be respected ; that the Prophet had appeared to him in a dream, to recommend him to leave some repose to his children, in order to re-commence the struggle at a later period, with a greater chance of success ; that, conse quently, the war would cease in every quarter, and t h at he authorised his faithful tribes to profit by the aid which the Christians were simple enough to afford them ; that, as for him, he was protected by the Most High, and could repair every where withmit escort, and free from danger. He then asked to see the Chief's children, and courteously saluting those standing round, he turned his horse's head to the Cheliff, exclaiming, " It is on this side that will first resound my cries of war ;" then dis playing that dexterity which has gained him the title of the first horseman of the Regency, he caused his horse to take prodigious bounds, and disappeared. A letter from Rice y . (Aube), July 13, states that on the preceding day the electric fluid passed through the house of M. Gerard-Verdin, of that place, but with out injuring any person. It entered by a wire, which was attached to a tube placed outside on the chimney, to prevent smoke. It passed through the rooms below, and entering the salle-a-manger, where the cloth was laid, and where Mme. Gerard-Verdin was arranging th. dessert, passed through the wall above the glass, and covered this lady with plaster and dust. The time-piece on the chimney was not stopped, or injured. The moment after the master of the house came into the room, and was astonished and nearly suffocated by the smell of sulphur. The electric fluid, pursuing its course, next entered a neighbouring house, where it slightly burnt the calf of the leg of a man named Buot, though without in any way injuring his trousers. On Sunday as some persons were walking in the plain between Vaugirard and Petit-Montrouge, they heard the report of fire-arms in the direction of the ' l ` This date must be wrong.

REGISTRATION.—A Correspondent has sent us a paper pointing out the means by which Refor.ners may disfranchise some of their opponents, and call ing on them to exert themselves to take objections and disqualify Tories. As we have no doubt a similar communication will be made to other Journals, we beg leave to caution all Retbrmers against acting on this advice. Their principle is to extend the suffrage by all the means in their power. They have de manded the abolition of the disqualifying rate-paying clauses, and they ought not to call those clauses into activity even against an adversary. They are too right-minded to annoy their neighbours for the purpose of gaining a few votes. If the Tories act so disreputably, let no honest Reformer follow the bad example. Besides, on the great, and at present all important, question of free trade, the Tories of the middle and trading classes are coming over to our side. In disfranchising them, therefore, we shall dis franchise our own friends. We confidently trust, therefore, that the Reformers will reject the insidious advice we have alluded to, should it be offered them. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING The advance in the Funds, noticed this morning, has not only continued, but has further increased. Some purchases which have been made on next account, coupled with the fa vourable intelligence of the progress of the harvest, and of the improved demand for goods in the manufacturing districts, has given a firmer tone to the market. The private letters from the various trades in Manchester, Sheffield, &c., speak less despondingly than they have for some time past. Although they represent that the deepest distress exists among the labourers, still, though remote, the masters perceive a pros pect of being able, before long, to give additional em ployment, by which the present distressing state of affairs will, at any rate, be partially alleviated. The statements from Manchester, in particular, are extremely satisfactory, in comparison with those it has of late been the custom to re ceive ; and it is in this town and in its neighbourhood that the greatest deprivation has been experienced, and any altera tion for the better is, perhaps, therefore somewhat more highly appreciated than it would have been under ordinary circum stances; but it may be fairly presumed, from all these accounts, that the extreme point of depression is past, although much cause remains for serious apprehension. Consols left off at 91 for Money, and 91 915 for the Ac count; Bank Stock, 1655 1665 ; India Stock, 249 250 ; Ex chequer Bills, Old, 48 50 ; New, 46 50 prem.

During the present excitement consequent upon the exclu sion of our linens from France and Belgium, it may be inter. eating to note the state of our trade with the former country for the last six years. The number of yards of linen exported to France in 1835 was 1,247,901 ' • in 1836 it was 1,998,958 ; in 1837, 3,363,338 ; in 1838 7,633,291 ; in 1839, 6,255,476; and in 1840, 6,792,485. The quantity of yarn in the year 1835 was 2,384,67811 r. ; in 1836 4,012,1411b5. ; in 1837, 7,010,9N31bs ; in 1838, 11,485,6801b5. in the year 1839, 12,259,25-11bs., and in 1840 13,137,3671b5. Thus it will be seen that three-fourths of the whole quantity of the latter article which has been annually exported, has been shipped to France. The only merchandise received from that country upon which retaliatory duties could be placed appears to be wine and brandy. Of the for mer the receipts have increased from 2,089,689 gallons in 1835, to 2,963,475 gallons in 1840, and the latter from 352,159 gallons, in the first-named year, to 546,815 in the last. Fortunately, neither of these articles form any part of the ne cessary consumption of the, people in general, and ran there fore well afford to pay any tax which may be levied, while the exclusion of theirs will be a far more serious - injury to that nation, than will the prohibition of our linen be to us. Of the nine millions of gallons of wine annually returned for consumption here, upwards of seven mil. lions are the produce of Spain and Portugal, and it is to be expected that such measures will be adopted with the new Spanish Ministry tnd with Portugal as may prove to France the impoliey of her present proceedings.

" il'ho runs nary read." FOREIGN. The leading articles of the Paris journals of Satur day are almost exclusively on the regency question. It is evident that, if the opinions of the writers who are the avowed organs of the different political partif s in the Chamber of Deputies may be taken as indicative of what is intended by the leaders of those parties in the legislature, the Regency . Bill will not be passed with out some warm discussion, although the question di vested of party politics is anything but complicated. On Thursday the King of the French came from Neu illy to Paris to receive visits of condolence. His Ma jesty was accompanied by the Queen, Madame Ade laide, the Princess Clementine, and the Dukes de Ne moon, d'Aumale, and Montpensier. The Queen of the Belgians and the Duchess de Nemours remained a Neuilly with the Duchess of Orleans. Her Majesty, with the rrineesses, on arriving at the Tuilleties, in stantly retired to her apartments, where she received a few ladies. The King took his seat on the throne, hav ing the Duke de Nemours and the Duke de Montpensier on his right, and the Duke d'Aumale on his left. On the right of the throne were the President of the Council, the Ministers ofJustice. of Foreign Affairs, of the Interior, of Finance, of Commerce, of Public Works, and of Public Instruction, and Marshals Molitor and Vallee. On the left were the Aides-de-Camp, Officers, and Equerries of the King and the Princes. The King re ceived the great bodies of the State and the authorities in the following order :—The Peers, with the Chancellor at their head ; the Members of the Chamber of Depu ties, the Court of Cassation, the Court of Accounts, the Royal Council of Public Instruction, the Cour Royale, the Institute, the Prefect and Council of the Seine, and the Municipal Bodies of Paris and the Departments, the Royal Academy of Medicine, the Tribunal of Premiere Instance, the Tribunal of Commerce, the Juge-de-paix of Paris, the Chamber of Commerce, the Functionaries And Professers of the Polytechnic School, the Ro) al College of France, the Consi s to r y o f th e R e f orme d Church at Paris, the Consistory of the Christians of the Confession of Augshurg,. the Chamber of Notaries, the Prefect and Council of ,the Seine et Oise, tne Mayors and Deputations of the Municipal Councils of Versai:les, Nantes, and Nancy. At half-past three the King re ceived the Corps Diplomatique ; at f iur, the Council of State ; and at half-past four the Archbishop and Clergy of Paris. At five their Majesties and the Princes re turned to Neuilly. A respectable meeting of the English residents took place in Paris on Saturday, for the purpose or pre paring an address of condolence to the King of the French on the occasion of the death of the Duke of Orleans. A report of the proceedings will be found in another column. The Repgrateur of Lyons states that a collision took place on the St. Etienne rid road en the 15in instam, the train from Givors running against that returning to Lyons. Several of the carriagca were thrown off the rails, and one containing thirty persiins was d as h e d t o pieces against the rock at the side of the line. No person was injured seriously, but some contusions were received. • A letter fro-” Madrid of the 16th instant announces that the dispute between M. Gonzales and M. Marliani, which was expeated to end in a duel, has been arranged by the mediation of General Seeane. M. Martian' is stated to have left Madrid for France. The Madrid HeraLlo states that some difficulties had arisen between the Courts of Spain anti Portugal, in consequence of the arrest of M., Saenz, -a senstor of the province of Orense. A note couched in strong terms on the subject had been presented to Count Almadovar by the Portuguese Minister. This is the cause assigned for the movement of Spanish troops towards the Portuguese frontier. The Barcelona journals of the 17th inst. announce the arrival of General &elan° on the 13th at Girona. The same day he ordered three Carlists to be shut in that town, and four more the following day. The British frigate Belvidera, of 46 guns, anchored in th e p ort o f Barcelona on the 14th. It appears that some Spanish vessels of war are to join the English frigate in a cruise on the southern coast of Spain. The Rhine and Moselle Gazette informs us that, about two in the afternoon of the-16th inst., a fire broke out in the small town of Lorch, near Rheindiebach, and, as most of the inhabitants were in the field getting in the harvest, ten houses were entirely consumed before any attempt could be made to extinguish the flames; and even afterwards they burnt so irresistibly, that they were not subdued till nine o'clock in the evening, by which time , thirteen more houses were reduced to ashes. A railroad train, which left Liege for Brussels on Tues day evening last, was detained for an hour at a short distance from the tunnel at Cmnptwich by a hill of the bank, occasioned by the preeeding storm. A wheel of the engine got off the rail, but no other accident occurred. The train reached Brussels in safety at ten o'clock at night. We find the following in the Swabian Mercury : " The continued efforts of the English Cabinet to give to the Queen of Spain a Prince of Coburg for a husband have excited a high degree or interest in Austria, as the Duke of Coburg Cohary belongs to that country by his large possessions in Hungary. Recently the King of the French addressed Duke Ferdinand as Royal Highness, which gave rise to much comment, although it was per haps a mere expression of politeness. It is certain, how• ever, that the English Cabinet has taken steps to insure to this Ducal family the title of Royal Highness, and it is even said that Queen Victoria has addressed at cut( graph letter to this effect to a German So% ereign." PARLIAMENTARY. The Lord Chancellor was again absent from the House last night on account of ill health. The Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill was in consequence postponed till Friday, and Lerd Campbell's motion about Couto sal till Thursday. The Bishop of London took the Lord President of the Council, Lord Wharncliffe, to task for his rupposed observa tions about education, and Lord Wharncliffe very kindly assured the Lord Bishop that he meant to pursue the' same course as his predecessor, and abhors a normal school without The Duchess of Satherland h:is arriv..d 74t Nunt! near Abingdon.

On the motion for recommitting the Mines and Collieries Bill, Lord Brougham made a very sensible speech on the sub ject, very properly cautioning their Lordships how they inter fered with labour, and pointing out several cases of greater immorality than employing children in mines, with which their Lordships are not likely to interfere. The Marquis of Londonderry opposed the motion for re committing the Bill, and moved that it t.e referren to a select Committee. Alter a short debate, his motion was negatived by 49 to 3, and their Lordships went into a Omani:tee on the Bill. Lord Lyttelten • proposed to postpone the operation of the clause relative to women till May, but his amendment was negatived. Several verbal amendments were made in the Bill, which ultimately went through the Committee. It is to be read a third time on Friday. In the Commons the Commercial Tr• aty with Portugal was laid on the table. Several notices were .given and questions asked, for which we refer to the report. Sir R. Peel, in reply to a question put by Lord Palmerston on a former evening, stated that an additional sum of 10,0001. would be voted to meet the demands on the grant for education. In reply to Mr. Ewart, Sir James Giaham said that 1. e had no intention to propose any subst.tute for transportation as a punishment. Mr. Thomas Duncombe, on the motion for the House to go into a Committee of Supply, moved for the depo sitions in the case of Mason, a Chartist, who had been arrested and tried at Stafford, on the 2d instant, for sedition. A debate enused, which turned principally on the power of a -constable to arrest people whom he supposes to be guilty of sedition. The Tories claimed such a power for constables ; the Liberals denied that it was constitutional Lord Palmerston took the popular side. 'On a division, Mr. T. Duncombe's motion was rejected by 116 to 52. Mr. Sharman Crawford afterwards called the attention of the House • to the distress in Ireland, but withdrew his motion on the subject, after being assured that it had not escaped the at tention of the Government. The House then went into Committee of Supply, and voted away a considerable sum of the hard.worked people's money. The House sat at the work till Halt past One The Morning fitruld has the remarks upon the conduct of the House of Commons and the Tory Go vernment relative to the war in Affghanistan :—" For merly in England, and especially under Sir Robert Wal pole, we had. the House amused and the country hoot,- winked by committi ea of inquiry into our foreign relatkns ; but now 'a-days, when we are involved in the must complicated and mysterious transitetiens with so many countries in the world, doing, suffering, acting, slaying, being stayed, vituperating what we have done, continuing to do it again—when the wholo nation is agitated by contradictory thoughts and opinions —when every public man of name and reputation pours forth indignant denunciation of the acts of which he is the instrument and the agent—when the most esteemed and chivalrous of our soldiers are dragged through the mire of mean persecution, and the envoys and representatives of England suffer death by the hands of infuriated nations that our crimes have aroused, and in their dying moments, while execrating the policy of the country of which they are the victims, writhing under the torture of their own characters being blackened and defamed by the very Government which they' saarifieed their consciences to serve—when one Administration is driven from office by public indignation aroused by its acts, and successors who have exhausted every argument of reproach and condemnation of the policy of their predecessors, come in to adopt that nolicy and to render detested measures permanent by the change of men, the House of Commons never once thinks of instituting an inquiry, appoints neithor ' select ' nor secret committee' of investigation up in any one of the subjects so confused, so mysterious, so mismanaged. This nation fancies it is divid. d into two parties, and that the one party being in power, the other party will be the guardian of the public interests by watching over the acts of its antagonists ; w bil e , i n fact, we have both those parties united in pursuing the same end, ;mposing on the country worse than the ills of absolute and arbitrary power eithout any of its possible benefits. This union of a Ministerial party and an Op position to carry out measures reproved by the nation, has • extinguished its reasiin with its freedom. The Tories, beiiwe they came into office, although they never took any direct step to arrest the late Government in its course its respect to the war in Central Asia, still censured that war, n. y, they exhausted censure ; they left to no one else argument against it, and they come into office to continue that which they asserted to be the most foolish and criminal act which had ever defamed the name of England."

IN RE WILLIAM LANGHAM. • The insolvent's petition to be (lizichaig(.(l was opposed by Mr. Woodroffe on behalf of Mr. Within' Cox, wine cooper, of Crown-street, Soho. He was supported by Mr. Nicholls. • It appear, d that the opposing creditor had placed the insolvent as a care-taker in some premises which he fitted up at Wooh%ich, for th e p urpose of carrying on business in one part as a ta‘ern, and the remainder fir the disposal of fancy articles. The insolvent, after a short time, said he was not be consjch red in the light of a care-taker, but that he purchased the goods on his own account from Mr. Cox, and was himself the tenant, and that he would make it all right in the Insolvent. Court. After the examination of several witnesses, whose evi d.•nce occupied the Court during the greater part of the morning, the case was ordered to bland over. POi.I.LE INTELLIGENCE. ARLBO R 1.1 Gil- 3• TREE T. IMPORTANT To HOUSEKEEPERS.—George Gatheryood, a builder, Charles Mudd, a butcher, residing. in Walker's court, Saho, and Francis Tompkins, his servant, were summoned before Mr. Hardwick, on a charge of throwing, or placing filth and soil in the common setter. Inspector 7 3eresiOrd, of the C division, stated the case. which was, that the whole of the three parties having been engaged in infringing the provisions of the Act of Parliament, under which the present proceedingi were institute], by pouring soil and filth into th e sewer i n the street, he deemed it his duty to obtain separate summonses, in order that the really offending party might be fixed upon. The Act of Parliament in ques tion was the sth William IV., cap. 21 see. 70, commonly called " The St. Anne's Act," and the clause pointed out enacted, " that it any Person should lay, cause, per mit, or sufl;:r to be thrown out, or laid, or to remain, any ashes, dust, rubbish, offal, vegetables, blood, in, or upon any carriage way, they shall be liable to a tine not ex ceeding 40s. The Inspector said he did not press for heavy penalties, but would rather have nominal penalties inflicted. Mr. Farrell, the Inspector of Pavements, who was accompanied by Mr. Greatorex, the Inspotor of Nui sances, stated .hut the stench ari,ing from what had been p aired into the sett er. was so great that he was was obliged to order an extra water cart down to stifle it. Mr. 11AnDwIcK inquir, d of the Polics. Inspector why he had summoned these persons. Tbe Inspector replied that the facts the case were simply these : Gathergood had ordered a dr , in to be emptied and poured into the street. Mr. Mudd had emptied the contents into pails and handed it to To.np kins, his servant, who, acting under his orders, had thrown it into the street. Mr. HARDwICK observed that such conduct was not only an infring , thent.of the Act of Pardanent. but 0-x -nicious to health in so cloSe a neighbouremal. Mudd said that he had told Tompkins to take the soil and throw it into en adoining stable-yard. Mr. Farrell observed that if it had be, n thr.,wn in•, an adjoining stable-yard that wool' have bt-en an equal offence under the Act of Parliament. After some further discussion, Mr. Hardwick fined Gathergood, as the primary cause, the sum of 10s. and costs. The other defendants were discharged with a caution. The Post again attacks Government for its advocacy of free-trade principles, observing—" The Conservative Ministers of the Crown have undoubtedly lent their sanction to the principles of free trade; nor do the Con servative Ministers of the Crown repudiate the hypo thesis that they may soc.n be leading on the Cobdens and Villierses to fresh triumphs over the productive in- NEW MODE or DYING.-13y lying flat upon a mill- Aone while p,rturinin4 its evolutions. sleep is seen p ro d uce d, dustry .of England and her c o l on i es .

Yet the times xvOuld not seem to bt especially conducive to apathy ! nor are the apathetic found, in this country, to exercise any remarkable shays of influence over public opinion." The following is from the Times :-----" The debate in the House of Commons on the Maynooth grant, on Wed nesday evening, was disgraceful in its tone to some of the speakers on both sides, and we heartily trust it will be the last of its kind. It is not the smallest of the ob jections to grants of this description, that they provoke discussions just sufficiently theological to display all ffe rancour and venom of controversy, without being re deemed by one .single spark of religious feeling. It is not by acrimonious invective against classes or indivi duals that either the Protestant or the liomen Catho lic can produce an impression. Neither pal ty can s:ani the test of such a criticism ; there are IV2 at M'Hales on the one side, there are Greggs and M'Ghevs on the other ; on both sides there are lib n eminent piety, charity, loyalty, and other virtues, and on both sides there is a majority not distinguished from their neighbours either try good or by evil qualities. The , favourers of the Orange Association and the toasters of the battle of the Diamond have no right to complain of a tenuency to anti-social confederacies and political tur bulence in their opponents : the anathemas of Exeter Hall are not milder than those of the Corn Exchange ; the juries which acquit Protestant mur-h-rers are net less perjured than those who do the same office of coin purgation for Roman Catholic offenders. Granted, that we hear more of violence, and outrage, and unchristian and illegal proceedings on the Popish side ; but this is sufficiently accounted for by the great preponderance of numbers and physical strength on that side, while the balance of temporal recognition and favour (we speak not of civil but of religious privileges) is as decidedly on the other." The Chronicle thus alludes to the Report of Mr. Roe buck's Committee—" The impatience of the Times is at length gratified, and the Report.of Mr. Roebuck's Com mittee, together with the evidence taken before it, are at last on the table of the House. We doubt whether our Contemporary and his political friends will find much subject of congratulation in Ihe document fi , r which the) hate been o, Mooing ao lustily. •Most tiredly it is no tuact,,r o; pride co the pootic,l part) with which we are connected, because, in the trans actions exposed by the Committee, Liberals are about as deeply and extensively implicated as their opponents. But the country is permanently and greatly serv,d by the aut., entic exposure of a sy. ton deeply prejudicial to public liberty and public moraity ; and, however painful the exposure now made ma) be to persons for whom we have the highest respect, we can not but rejoice that it has been made in such a manner as must, we believe, lead to the extirpation of the present fiml abuses of our representative system.
