This is a sad state of things. I. Anti cipate some of our friends will give you snore par.aculars by this post, therefore trust you will excuse brevity. " Yours very truly." Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, M.P., next addressed the meeting. He said he had no personal interest in manu factures, his entire income was derived from land, and . he could not therefore be supposed to advocate the views he entertained from any personal motive. He was con vinced that the success of the cause which the League advocated was as essentially the true interest of the ' agriculturist as of the manufacturer. He conceived tha those who were connected with land and advocated ti existence of the Corn-laws, entirely mistook their ow r, interest. He was of opinion that the Corn-laws instev of raising rents tended to lower them and keep theme down, and tended to diminish employment (he spoke o f the agricultural labourer). No rents were so high us 'those drawn from districts in which manufactures were connected with agrtulture. They were lunch higher than the rents . drawn from districts whom the tenant relied solely on:the production of corn, as the means of paying. his rent. He advocated the occupation of land by email farmees, whose capital was their labour, instead of its being., let out to large capitalists. The advantages to the country at large from the occupancy of . rand by small farmers would be inestimable. When the labourer was prosperous every class in the conansunity shiered in that prosperity ; but when the-- eelfish views monopolists were carried out, as•at the present time, the anomalous state of a prosperous class in the upper circles living in the same country where the labouring classes were starving, was the consequence. tAr R. Peel had stated the annual income of this country at 166,000,0001. sterling, and was it not a most extraor elinary thing that with such an enormous wealth as that .the great mass of the people should be starving ? Some thing must be wrong in the institutions of the empire to cause swill a -state of things. With respect to ma chinery, thoug-ie in its immediate effects it was injurious to the opera aye by throwing him out of employment, yet it was tile imately productive of great advantages by the increased. demand for labour. The Hon. Gentleman -here enteriel.:;nto lengthened details to show the advan teges reeulti ag from a division of the land into small holdings, ..act read extracts from a pamphlet, published by himself, to prove that four acres of average land would be ani ply adequate to support a working man and his family, a lowing 61bs. a day of food to every member of a family ; whereas, the dietary in the English workhouses was to each individual only 18 ounces of bread, and three ounces of cheese, while in Ireland -it was still worse, namely, seven ounces of meal and Dl. vt . potatoes. That allowance was divided into two meals, beeituee,.as the Commissioners stated, great incon venioace would arise from having a third meal or supper. prey( of his theory, he referred to the condition „, ; operatives in Belfast, where the mills and manufactories being e e . .hut up, and the labourers were in cense „etenenee 'ttlek.vt - 1 out of employment, and having no law to efati,t4e e.e..pon were in a state of starvation, while such // Ai iliiffreaf had small holdings were comparatively well „ r fig. „ i lt .Ae.agricultural districts, according to the Re „„jiievAt49commissionttes, pauperism had Lately increased bao,wii - v,t,,,,4.1.4.1n.50rp0 places 50 per cent.

AMERICAN NEWS EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The Caledonia, mail steam-ship, commanded by Captain LOTT, was off our port at an early hour yester- Klay afternoon, but there was not sufficient water on - the Bar for her to reach the Mersey before a )ate hour at night ; she brought her Majesty's mails from Boston and Halifax, having sailed from the former on the 16th, and from the latter on the evening of the 18th instant, performing the voyage in ten days. Her passengers, sixty in number, speak in the highest terms of Captain Lorr's sea manship and gentlemanly demeanour, and also of his boat's capabilities. Although our files extend over period of fourteen days, they contain no news of im -portance. It had been rumoured in the United States that some unforeseen difficulties had arisen in the matter *of the Boundary Question, which would tend to procras timte the settlement of that affair. The PRESIDENT'S tate veto has caused considerable vexation both in Congress, and out of its doors ; all duties have been paid under protest since the 30th of June, as the Secre tary of State formally declared it his opinion that no duties could be legally collected without a new Act was passed ; should the Courts support by their decisions, that opinion the money will have to be returned with interest. There was a moderate amount of business done in bills for the packet at 7 to 71 for sterling bills on Eng land, and at sf. 371 c. to sf. 60c. on France. Cotton had been in poor request for some time pre vious to the steamer's sailing,- and prices had a ten dency downwards. Flour on a light supply was in mo derate demand at steady rates. The accounts from Buenos Ayres state !the determi nation of that Government to take Monte Video, if pos sible; but the inhabitants of the latter were making every exertion to resist an attack. From Canada we learn that Sir C. BEGOT and his Lady were in excellent health, and that affairs were pro ceeding in a satisfactory manner under his government. A motion in Senate regarding the relations between Mexico and the United States afforded an opportunity for some members to abuse Great Britain for the course which she is adopting in regard to the former country. SUMMARY OF AMERICAN NEWS. (From the New York American, of the 15th instant.) Public opinion has been much agitated for some days past on the subject of the negotiation vvAh Lord Ash burton. It was confidently announced the week before last on the authority of a gentleman connected with one of the foreign legations (not the British) at Washington, that all points in dispute were arranged, and that on the 4th of July the treaty would be signed. As the mode in which this statement was made, and the person making it, could not very well be distrusted, great confidence was expressed that the intelligence was true, even although it was semi officially contradicted from Washington. There seems, however, no reason now to doubt that there was some: mistake in the matter, and possibly propositions made in the expectation and belief that they would be acceded to, have been mistaken for actual results. At any rate, the impression now is, not only that no arrangement has been completed, but that, upon the subject of the North-Eastern Boundary, which was said to have re ceived a complete and satisfactory settlement, new and unforeseen difficulties have arisen on the part of the Commissioners from the States interested, Massachusetts and Maine. Nevertheless, as on this point it is known, that if the Plenipotentiaries cannot agree, a reference is to be made to a friendly Sovereign, whose award is to be final— little solicitude is felt as to the continuation of amicable relations between the two countries. Our money market has experienced no change since the Ist inst. The same doubt and uncertainty as re gards the future course of the Government as then noted, prevent any action on the part of capitalists, and all the stocks of our States, even of the soundest description, have materially declined. Until the passage of a Tariff Bill that will secure a revenue adequate to the current expenditure of the country, no improvement can be hoped for, as from the acknow ledged poverty of the National Treasury, recourse must inevitably be had :o a new issue of Government stock, which without some provision for ultimate redemption, cannot be expected to meet a favourable reception in !'oreign markets, and consequently must be forced off here at comparatively low rates. Our advices from Pennsylvania destroy every hope that might have been entertained of the State meeting the interest due next month. The Senate have rejected the Tax Bill, and the Bill which has lately passed the Hothe, authorising the Governor to borrow 870,000 dols., even if passed by the Senate, cannot be carried into effect. By the following statement'of its provisions'our readers will be able to judge what probability there is' of the credit of the State being sustained. It authorises the Governor to borrow at 6 per cent. for seven years, the sum of 1870,000 dollars, to pay in.. terest falling due in August ; but should he not be able to borrow the money, then the Auditor-General is autho rised to issue certificates of State Stock to be given to p rsons entitled to interest, to the amount thereof. The Governor i 5 further authorised to sell stocks owned by the Commonwealth, if they bring a sum which at five per cent interest would equal the dividends on the same for 1841, and if they cannot be sold within GO days at par, then the Governor is authorised to exchange any of the Bank, Bridge, or Turnpike Stocks at par, for certificates of State Stock at par. Nothing has been done on the part of any of the hitherto defaulting States, nor can any provision be made until next wintry, when the various Legislatures meet. It is almost too early to form an Opinion as to the re sult of our crops, but our advices lead us to anticipate large products, far exceeding what can be disposed of at profitable rates to the producers ; thus affording little prospect of a renewed demand for manufactures, either domestic or foreign. The supply of both descriptions is abundant, and sales cannot be effected except at enor mous sacrifices. Most of our manufacturers have already stopped their mills, and the rest will praahly soon follow their example. Great numbers of our labouring population have been thrown out of employ, and were it not for the eninstant demands in this country for agricultural labour, great want and distress must have been experienced. ' DREADFUL STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION AT MONTREAL-FIFTY-EIGHT LIVES LOST. The following account we find in the Montreal Courier of Monday last : "It becomes our painful duty to record one of the most distressing casualties which has occurred in this province since the introduction of steam on the St. Lawrence. The high-pressure steamer Shamrock, while between Lachine and Point Claire, on her way to Kingston, about ten o'clock on Saturday morning, burst her boiler, and her bows being blown out by the explosion, she went down head foremost. There were on board of her at the time about 120 persons, of whom 48 were taken up unhurt by three barges in tow, and 18 were conveyed to the Montreal General Hospital wounded ; 54 remain to be accounted for. Of the 18 conveyed to the Hospital, one has died un der the amputation of both legs. The passengers were composed of English, Irish, and Scotch ; of whom the English are supposed to have suffered most, from being in the tore part of the boat. The first engineer, who was saved, declares that he has no other consciousness of the transaction than that the ex plosion took place, and that he afterwards found himself tin board one of the barges, the interval between those events being to his mind a perfect blank. Much money is said to have been lost, the emigrants being of a supe rior description. Mr. Jones, the Coroner, repaired to the spot and proceeded to the wreck, which he found with the hind part of the stern alone above water. Suspecting that some bodies might be in the cabin, he caused it to be burst open, when the corpse of a female was drawn out. Of twenty-five families of emigrants on board, num bering in all 80 persons, 58 remain to be accounted for The Captain was the last person who left the boat, and at the risk of his life swam out a considerable distance and succeeded in saving one of the passengers from drowning. The Shamrock belonged to Messrs. At kinson, Matthie, and Co., of Montreal. The Shamrock carried no cargo except the baggage of the passengers, who amounted in a ll to 120 souls, Who we re English, Irish, and Scotch emigrants, but prin cipally English. The accident was heard from Lachine ; at least a number of persons remarked a vast irruption of smoke, and in a few seconds the disappearance of the vessel. The steamer Dolphin was at the time about half a mile in the rear of the Shamrock. The ex plosion was heard, by those on board, and its effects perceived. ,The Captain dropped two barges which he had in tow and made all haste to carry succour. When the Dolphin reached the scene of disaster, the sight was appalling ; the unfortunate steamer had the of disap peared, and the surface of the w ater was covered with living and dead bodies, the living clingingaster and to o crew fragments m of ai t n h ed ewi;ienimp ck,a a n i d re t d o , the ßy sid t e h s e of m . two barge s , w hi ch re- Dolphin, about sixty persons of different ages and sexe s were picked up. Of these about thirty are more or. less injured, and about thirty, principally Irish, escaped un hurt. One old lady was found alive, floating on, a feather bed, but hor husband and seven children had perished. A Man named Coverdale, from Danby,'Yorkelurei - sank THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 29,11842 on Saturday night under amputation, leaving behind him, a wife, who, besides her husband, lost six children. All the seriously wounded were brought in a Durham boat, on Saturday evening, and are now lying in the General Hospital. The remainder are at rachine. Three of the crew and one bargeman perished ; the master and enginneer are safe. The English immigrants had with them a very con siderable capital and valuable personal property. The Indians on the opposite side of the lake are busy in the work of plunder, which, We trust, will be arrested by the police authority. ANOTHER EXPLOSION. The St. Louis Republican furnishes us with the fol lowing account of another explosion near the mouth of the Missouri, by which sixty-three persons, mostly Ger mans, were wounded. The steam-boat Edna collapsed both flues of her lar board boiler at a quarter past four o'clock, this morning, at the mouth of the Missouri river. The Edna landed at the mouth about one o'clock this morning. The latan was lying there, and the Edna landed on the outside of her, and laid in suck a position that it was difficult for the latan to get away from the shore. However, after a little trouble, the latan got under way, and had run three or four hundred yards, when the Edna shoved out from the shore. Her bow could not have been more than one hundred feet from the shore when she collapsed her flues. Her engine had been working out of gear full a half hour, and had not been stopped more than ten minutes at the very outside. I was looking at the Edna when the casualty hap pened, and had observed her some time before the acci dent, and I did not think she had unusually high steam. I am of the opinion that some obstruction existed either in the supply pipe, or in the force pump, which pre vented the usual quantity of water from going into the boilers. _ _ The number of wounded is sixty-three, mostly Ger mans. Some two or three were blown into the river and saved, and it is supposed that two or three others were lost. The cabins of the Edna and latan are filled with the wounded, and they are receiving every attention from the passengers and others, that can be bestowed upon them, As soon as the accident happened, the latan dropped alongside the Edna, and towed her to the Illinois shore, when the Annawan took her in tow, and the latan pro ceeded to St. Louis with the wounded. The Edna was bound up the Missouri with full freight. She had been towed in by the Annawan. So far, we are unable to get the names of the wounded, but learn from the officers of the Edna that they were Germans, with the exception of the second engineer, who was on watch, and one fireman. They are a portion of a party of emigrant% who landed here a few days since from the Caledonia, We understand that not a single cabin passenger was injured. Twe or three only have died, though it appears almost impossible that several of them can recover. We were on board the Edna, and never have we be held such a sight. A number of men and women appear to be literally skinned. The whole force of the steam was thrown aft, over the deck passengers, as they slept. They will be removed to the Hospital. EMIGRANTS.—The Quebec Mercury of the Bth says, the steeets have beeh crowded with emigrants for some days past, many of them are respectable in appearance, and several have brought money with them ; others are poor and have already added to the number of street beggars, no legal provision existing for the poor here. Those who are able proceed up the river, and they get to Montreal for an English shilling. Generally we should say, there are three children for one grown person, and we fear that the fate of many nest winter will be worse than it could have been at home, where a compulsory provision is made for the poor, and there is great weath to aid them by charitable contributions. gistrates and police, but owing to the vigilance of the Press, and also to the open manner in which the pro ceedings in all the inferior Courts are conducted, the evil is trifling when compared with the doings of these func tionaries in the country. In remote districts they are almost left without control. The local newspaper is, probably, under the influence of some of them, and consequently the grossest acts of oppres sion only reaeh the oars of the public through correspondents to leading provincial or London journals. We noticed yest'rday a remarkable stretch of power in committing some poor man to prison for non-payment of rates, and some months ago another of even alworse description, which occurred at Stoke-upon- Trent. A respectable man, the owner of a boat on the canal, was taken into custody by a constable, on sus picion of having stolen a plank, conveyed to a station house, where he was chained by the leg to an iron ring fixed in the floor, and confined in this manner for four days in a most filthy condition, when he was at last taken before a Magistrate and discharged. This cruel treatment did not satisfy the parties, for a bill was filed against the unfortunate man, the Grand Jury returned a true bill, and having been arrested on a Bench warrant, he was again committed to prison. The Ma gistrates refused to bail him, and he was consequently confined till a Judge's order for his release could be ob tained. He surrendered to take his trial at the present Assizes at Stafford, but the Judge stopped the case. He of course brought an action for false impri sonment, and obtained a verdict with 201. damages. The constable against whom the action was brought was the least guilty party, for the gaol, it appears, was in such a dilapidated state, that this iron ring with chains was found necessary to prevent prisoners from escaping. The Magistrates and Grand Jurors who suffered such an abomination were allowed to go free. Yet this is called a land of liberty, and praises without end are bestowed on the humanity of our laws, and the mild administration of justice, and the sum of 201., is considered a sufficient compensation to this unfortunate victim of oppression. To crown the proceedings, the intelligent Jury at first refused to assess the damage, and asked the Judge to fix the amount, but Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said that it was no part of his duty, and no doubt looked with wonder and amazement at the twelve gentlemen in the jurors' box. Sir ROBERT PEEL last night protested, and we think with good reason, against the system lately adopted of reporting interviews between Ministers and Deputations from different classes. The practice is objectionable, even when correct and impartial reports are given, be cause it tends to check free communication between the two parties ; but it is quite unjustifiable when only a one-sided view of the question is given, and the conver sations are reported from memory. It would be only fair, when the result is to be published, that the state ment should be drawn up and submitted to the revision of the Minister before it goes forth to the world. had such a plan been adopted many misconceptions which have arisen from the late interviews with the Gorern ment would have been avoided. We have found it necessary to mention the subject, in order to justify ourselves for refusing certain communications made to us by respectable Correspondents. The French Journals of Wednesday have all been re ceived. We subjoin the following extracts from them : It appears (says the Debats) teat tne Deputies of the Left have determined on giving all their votes to M. 0. Barrot for the Presidency of the Chamber. We perceive by the Austrian Observer that the Court of Vienna went into mourning for the Duke of Orleans on the 19th. This was-to continue to the 26th. Half mourning was to be worn from that period till August 3d. We find in the Leipsic Gazette the following letter from Constantineple. July 6, stating that conflicts had taken place between the Turkish and Persian troops, near Erzeroum and Bagdad. The letters from Constantinople of the 7th, from other sources, do not, however, speak of these collisions. The account in the Leipsic Gazette says The Turkish troops have fought with those of Persia in the environs of Er zeroum and near Bagdad. The Turks were conquerors. The dif ferences between Persia and Turkey, relative to the frontiers, led to this collision ; to which must be added the fact that the Persians refused to give up to the Turks a Pacha who had taken refuge in Persia." The Egyptian General Edhem-Bey, Minister of Public In struction, has arrived at Marseilles from Malta, on his way to London. He is accompanied by a numerous suite. An ordonnance relative to the expenses of the funeral of the late Duke of Orleans was signed by the King, at Neuilly, on the 18th instant, on a report of the Minister of the Interior, and with the advice of the Council of Ministers. The follow ing are the essential articles :—" There is opened to our Mi nister of the Interior, on the grant for 1842, an extraordinary credit for 400,0001., for -the expenses of the obsequies of our well-beloved son the Duke of Orleans Prince'Royal.• The re gularisation of this credit shall be proposed to the Chambers at the next session." By another Royal ordonnance, dated 20th instant, the King, after reciting the law of the 7th of May, 1837, fixing the sum to be paid out of the public Treasury as a dower to the Duchess of 4:Veans in case of her widowl.ood, ordains as follows:—" There is opened to our Minister of the Finances, out of the grants for 1842, an extraordinary credit f 139,166 f. 66c., applicable to the dower of our well-beloved daughter:in-law the Duchess of Orleans. This expense shall be the object of a special chapter in the btidget of 1842. The regularisation of this credit shall be proposed to the Chambers at their next session." The Bishop of Evreux, who had returned to his diocese, will come back again to Paris to assist at the funeral of the Duke of Orleans, and will accompany the corpse to Dreux. Two African priests, in behalf of those of their own colour living in Paris, and who have so frequently experienced the benevolent protection of the Royal family, celebrated on Mon day, in the chapel of Neuilly, a mass for the repose of the soul of the Duke of Orleans. A great number of blacks of both sexes on the same day attended the mortuary mass at the church of Saint • Sulpice. Count d'Appony, the:Austrian Ambassador, had the honour of delivering on Monday to the King and Queen at Neuilly letters of condolence from his Sovereign on the death of the Prince Royal. The Swiss journals publish the following letter sent by the King of the French to the Helvetic Diet, on the day after the death of the Duke of Orleans :—" Very dear and great friends, allies, and confederates.—A horrible accident has just deprived our family and France of our beloved son Ferdinand- Philippe- Louis-Charles Henry Duke of Orleans, Prince Royal of the French. He expired in our arms, and in those of the Queem, yesterday. at half-past four o'clock in the afternoon. Over whelmed with the most profound grief, and assured of the sympathy which the praiseworthy Cantons of Helvetia, the an cient and noble allies of France, feel for all that affects her, we announce to you this cruel and unexpected event, and offer ing up prayers that Heaven may have in reserve for Switzer land only days of felicity, we eagerly renew to you the assur ance of our sincere esteem and unchangeable good will. (Signed) " LOUIS PHILIPPE. ( Countersigned ) " G UIZOT." So fully was the Chamber attended yesterday by the Mem bers of the Two Houses, that a little before the King entered, M. Emile de Girardin, after in vain seeking a seat on the lett side, went to the right on a similar mission, and was equally unsuect saful. We believe that the Hon. Deputy was obliged to stand during the whole period that the King was present. STATE OF TRADE. The approach of midsummer and consequent finish to our spring business, is pretty apparent along the har bour and throughout the city generally. But few vessels have arrived since July sot in, and those with indifferent cargoeS. There have, howe , er, been very light winds for several days, so that most of the vessels, steamers excepted, were unable to make much headway, even if there was business requiring their services. Among those going west, we observe a large number of German, Swiss, and English immigrants, who are mostly seeking Wiskonsan Territory. Whatever por tion of them remained at ports along the sea-board, we must confess that such as have reached this city do not present that spectacle of squalid poverty and destitution which many of the city prints speak of. They all appear healthy, with ample means of reaching their new abodes in the west. There has been but little doing in the Grain Market for several days. Sales of small lots of beat Flour have been effected at $5 25, and Wheat is held atil 10. Corn continues at 35 cents., and Oats 25 per bushel. It is generally allowed that we are to have but little more of the old crop this season. At Cleveland the market is entirely bare. The business of the Canal-office in this city for the first week in July was as follows :—Tolls received, 11,369 duls. 83c. Number of boats cleared, 160. The millers of Dayton, Ohio, have refused any further contracts for Wheat at 371 cents per bushel, and there is not the least doubt that Wheat will be sold this fall in the interior Western States as low as 25 cents per bushel; every thing indicates this.

The House of Commons last night rejected Mr• ROEBUCK'S resolutions by a majority of 136 votes against 47. This is no disappointment to us. We knew very well that the Committee was not appointed twenty-four hours before Sir ROBERT PEEL heartily repented having supported the motion of the Honourable and Learned Member for Bath ; and that it had not sat a day before he had resolved to oppose any measure founded upon the only Report which he knew it could make. But, as was well said last night, by Mr. AGLIONBY, the Premier unwittingly assisted Mr. ROEBUCK in planting a tree which will yet bear good fruit. The Report may be got rid of now— it may be buried with the other lumber of the session, but Whigs and Tories combined will not be able to pre vent its resurrection. The real importance of this inquiry is not in the least affected by the refusal of the House to found any immediate measure upon it. All we immediately expected from it has been accomplished. It was reported, and believed, but denied, that bribery to an unprecedented extent was carried on at the last general election. It was affirmed, and believed, but denied, that in conse quence of corrupt compromises the petitions against the returns were for the most part with drawn, and that gentlemen legislated in the House of Commons, who, if justice was fairly administered, ought to be expiating their crimes in Newgate. The Report of the Committee has removed all doubts upon these matters. It is now proved that a general system of bribery was carried on at the last election throughout England and Ireland. It is an established fact, that but for the Bill of Indemnity, which preceded Mr. ROEBUCK'S inquiry, several gentlemen who voted with the majority last night would have been liable to be prosecuted as public criminals. The House of Commons adopted the Report, and in doing so admitted that its Members are not the representatives of the people, but of their own purses. Mr. ROEBUCK'S first resolution was unnecessary. Nothing which the House of Commons can do will take away from it that which it never had. Now the present House of Commons never had the confidence of the country, nor did any of its proceedings inspire respect. It cannot, therefore, suffer in public opinion by hug ging in its bosom a system of corruption engendered by itself. But it is a matter of immense importance to have its iniquitous composition laid bare by its own Members, and so recorded as to place the question for ever beyond the reach of cavil. It is much, in point ing to the brand upon its brow, to be able to say the mark of infamy was self inflicted. For these reasons, we are in some sort reconciled to the loss of Mr. ROEBUCK'S resolutions. The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman distinctly stated that the great object of his Com mittee was not so much to expose the infamy of in dividual acts, as to lay bare some of the ramifica tions of a general system, and that he has done most effectually. We now know who are the great criminals. We know the low standard of morality which exists even among the staunch champions of the Church in the House of Commons. Even the " Monk of the Middle Ages," the Hon. Member for the University of Ox ford, who, some nights ago, enunciated the priestly maxim, that popular ignorance and bad taste is favourable t, virtue, admits that he looks with a lenient eye upon gentlemen who approach the confessional of the House of Commons, to unburden themselves of no greater guilt than bribery, corruption, and perjury. But the day of judgment for that House will and must come. The end is not yet, but it is nearer by years than it would have been but for Mr. ROEBUCK'S Bribery Report.

The opening of the temporary and special session of 1842 forms the leading feature in the original columns of the Paris journals. The Debats says—" The King opened the session yesterday for 1842. He came with tears in his eyes, his voice interrupted with sobs, and asked the Chamber for their pa triotic assistance under the melancholy circumstances in which the death of the Prince Royal has placed France. The Chambers replied by loud acclamations, devotedness, sympathy, and enthusiasm. Such was the Royal sitting of yesterday. All was simple and true, noble and touching, worthy of France and worthy of the King. The King was not afraid to show his tears; he publicly lamented him whom everybody laments." The Presse alludes as follows to the Speech from the Throne :—" In the speech delivered by the King, we praise, above all, its deeply religious character. For the first time, perhaps, in solemnities of this nature, we heard God and his holy name publicly invoked. This is a good example, coming from the exalted amongst us. Accustom the people to carry their thoughts towards Heaven, and in this habit they will find that resignation which political passions render daily more difficult of attainment; and when they see these who are con sidered to be the great and happy of the earth bow with reve rence of the most severe strokes of Providence, they will learn to support with better feelings their own sufferings." The National says—" Ministers who, in arranging the ceremonial of this sitting, decided that the King should preside over it, committed, both as men and citizens, a bad action. After the blow that had fallen upon Louis Philippe, scarcely ten days after the sad death of his eld:st son, it was a duty of humanity in Ministers to have spared the King a ceremony in which his presence was not indispensable, and which was of a nature to revive painful recollections. But Ministers, it ap pears, carevery little about the paternal sorrows of the King. They imagined that the sobs of an old man would have a favour able effect or the maintenance of their power, and that they would meet but with little resistance from the Chamber, when it should have seen the Chief of the Government weeping be fore it. We knew very well that they would make a political use of the death of the Duke of Orleans." The Courrier Francais observes—" The Ministers ought to have spared Louis Philippe this struggle between the grief of the father and the majesty of the monarch, for it passed be fore the eyes of the diplomatic body, and we ought not to let strangers into the secret of our afflictions. Antiquity has a sublime image to express the grief that is suitable to Princes— it merely threw a veil over the features of Agamemnon. In other respects the speech which Ministers have placed in the mouthiof Louis Philippe is becoming and dignified. It says what it has to say with a sober simplicity of expression, with out exaggerating or underrating the exact position of things." The Constitutionnel has the following :—" The grief. of France has responded to that of the King. Never was there so full an attendance of the two Chambers ; never was the King received with such warm acclamations. The Legitimists alone were almost all absent from the Royal sitting. The Royal Speech alludes only to the approaching presentation of a Bill for a Regency. 'I here is not a word on the Ministerial policy, which has nothing to do with the measures, the prompt adop tion of which is commanded by the interest of France and of the dynasty. The impression left upon our mind by the sit ting is, that the monarchical principle is deep-rooted in France, and that the dynasty which we elected in 1830, still is, and ever will be, the best safeguard of order and public liberty. No person attempts to deny the dangerous eventualities which may arise from the death of the Duke of Orleans ; but every body has faith in the good sense of the country, in its energy, and in the force of our institutions." " If (says the Constitutionnel) the Opposition should engage in the conflict with the Ministry before the vote on the Regency Bill, it would give to M. Guizot the only advantage be could possibly possess—it would authorise him to confound the inte rest of the Ministry with that of the dynasty. All conscientious, but timid and uncertain men, would ask themselves if the Op position was really constitutional, and the whole of the discus sion would be influenced by this deplorable doubt. A majority opposed to the will of the electors, and favourable to M. Guizot, might result from the confusion into which such ambiguous conduct on the part of the Opposition might throw the Chamber.' The Quotidienne confines itself to a short criticism on the speech. In noticing the announcement that the business of the present session will be limited exclusively to the Recency, it says—" It is not easy to understand why the passing of a Regency 811 is thus hurried, whilst, on the other hand, all de liberation on the affairs of the State is postponed. We must suppose that M. Guizot was in haste to turn to profit the emo tion of the assemblies, which he has called to dispose summa rily of one of the most delicate and grave questions of public right, in presence of the still open tomb of Louis Philippe's eldest son." _ . . . . We findthe following short notice in the Legitimist journal, the France :—" The Speech of Louis Philippe is all that it ought to be under the grave circumstances in which the death of his eldest son has plunged his house. Politics are alien to it. It speaks alone of grief. The Ministry has kept aloof, feeling that it could not come forward without being accused of attempting to cloak its acts under the general mourning." PARLIAMENTARY. The Lord Chancellor was so far recovered that he last night took his seat on the Woolsack. _ _ . The Exchequer Bills Bill was read a third time. On the motion to read the Customs Act Amendment Bill a third time, Lord Monteagle remarked that allowing corn to come out of bond, duty free, would have no effect on price, unless the quantity were increased, and would consequently only enrich the holders of corn. The Noble Lord also re marked that the sliding scale kept corn out when the price was rising, and caused it to be brought in to the injury of the far mers when the price was falling. The Earl of Ripon, in reply to questions from Lord Mont eagle, said that the Government had altered the duties on cement, because they were throwing people out of employ ment; that our commercial relations with Portugal were friendly ; that Brazil believed our treaty with that State expired in 18-12 ; and that our Government had made representations to France and Belgium on the subject of their regulations as to linen yarn. The Bill was then read a third time. The Poor-law Bill went through a Committee, and is to be read a third time to-day. • Lord Campbell brought forward his motion to pass a stand ing order to prevent hearing as counsel at the Bar on pending Bills, Members of the House of Commons. The Learned Lord grounded his motion principally on the conflicting duties which a Member might have as counsel and as a legislator, and on the fact that his mind might be warped as a lawmaker by his fees as counsel. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Brougham both opposed the motion as uncalled for and unnecessary. Lord Brougham roasted his Learned Friend Lord Campbell, and took the op portunity of eulogizing Air. Roebuck. Lord Campbell's mo tion was negatived. The Limitation of Actions (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. _ _ . Some other Bilis were advanced, and their Lordships then adjourned. In the Commons Mr. Divett obtained some information about the Portendic claims, which is by no means satisfactory. The Right Hon. Baronet admitted that his expectations that France would satisfy those claims had been disappointed. . The tone of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech was desponding and disparagin g of France. It seems she is careless about doing justice to England. The Law Courts ( Ireland) Bill was postponed for the session. Some conversation took place concerning the meetings of the Conference Deputation with the Ministers. Sir James Graham was convinced that he had misrepresented Mr. Fielden at one of those meetings, and Sir It. Peel complained that a report of his interview with the Conference gave a false impression of the whole affair. Captain Fitzroy obtained leave to bring [in a Bill to regulate the examination of future captains of merchant vessels. The Hon. Gentleman explained the objects of the Bill at some length, and there was a general acquiescence in his proposition. Mr. Roebuck moved the resolutions we adverted to yesterday, and supported them at considerable length. A debate ensued, in which the several inculpated Members defended themselves. The Solicitor-General moved the previous question, and Sir Robert Peel declined to support the resolutions, declaring . that while he approved of the inquiry, and was sure it would do good, it was not intended to be in any .way penal. On a division, Mr. Roebuck's motion was lost by 136 to 47. The House afterwards discussed Captain Pechell's motion re lative to the capture of slave ships, and adjourned at One o'Clock. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT COURT (THIS DAY.) IN RE JAMES HASTINGS. The insolvent was a general dealer and slop-seller in Hounds ditch. The number of creditors whose names appeared in his schedule exceeded 100, and the debts were about 2,800/. in the aggregate. He attributed his insolvency to the loss of a vessel on its passage to Australia, by which a quantity of goods he consigned to his son, who managed his business in the colony, was lost to the amount of 800/. His petition to be discharged was opposed in person by a cre ditor named Moss, who stated that the insolvent called upon him last March, and after looking at a quantity of wearing ap parel and other goods for exportation, ordered them to be sent to St. Katherine's Docks, where they would be paid for be fore being shipped. The goods were placed on board, when the insolvent told him he had not then the ready money at hand, but that he would give him a joint promissory note of his and his father-in-law, payable in 61 days. After some time, in consequence of the vessel in which the goods were shipped being about to sail, this offer was accepted ; but when the note be came due it was dishonoured, and the opposing creditor never got a penny of his money since. H. urged that insolvent should be remanded, on the grounds of having obtained the goods under a false pretence. After the examination of two witnesses on behalf of the in solvent, whose evidence was without general interest,. he was ordered to be discharged forthwith. - - IN RE HENRY MAUNSELL. The insolvent, whose case has been already reported in The Sun, appeared for judgment, when he was ordered to be dis charged, after lodging in Court certain papers with respect to some premises he held in Newington. POLICE INTELLIG ENC L. MARLBOROUGH. STREET. (THIS DAY.) Mary Smith, a good-looking young woman, genteely dressed, was placed at the bar on the following charge:— Mr. Robinson, the solicitor, attended on her behalf. Mr. George Marshall, of No. 2, Mercer's-terrace, Upper Holloway, auctioneer, stated that about eleven o'clock last night, as he was walking along Piccadilly, on his way home from a friend's house, he was accosted by the prisoner, who took hold of his arm and walked by his side, although he in nowise en couraged her to do so. With a view to get rid of her he turned up Albany-court, thinking there was a thoroughfare into Regent-street, and on discovering his mistake, he found the prisoner close behind him, and nearly at the same moment felt her hand at his trowsers' pocket, and he directly missed from it a canvas money-bag, containing two a Bank of Eng land notes, six sovereigns and a half, and 3s. or 4s. in silver. He seized hold of her, and accused her of robbing him. She made no reply, but attempted to break away from him. At this instant two men, who he had not before observed, sud denly rushed upon him, and striking him some heavy blows, knocked him to the ground, which forced him to lose his hold of the prisoner, who directly set off running. Although nearly stunned by the blows, he scrambled on to his feet again, and called " Police," when the ruffians struck him again in a most brutal manner, and knocked him down. In a few minutes afterwards he found the prisoner in custody of the police. The bag and money now produced is the same that was stolen from him. Police-Constable, No. 144, of the C division, stated, that he was on duty in Duke-street, St. James's, and heard the cry of " Police," and meeting the prisoner running, stopped her and took her into custody. The prosecutor came up soon after wards, and charged her with robbing him. She was taken to the station-house and searched, but nothing was found on her. About four o'clock this morning, as he was going his rounds, he saw a bag containing the money in question, lying on the area steps of one of the houses in Duke-street, and by which the prisoner had passed only a few yards before he met her. Mr. HARDWICK asked if the prisoner was known to the police as a prostitute ? Inspector Baker, of the C division, said she was not. At the station-house she refused to give any account of herself whatever. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate. This is the third robbery effected under similar circumstances that has taken place in the neighbourhood within the last fortnight. , UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) MISCONDUCT OF A POLICEMAN.—A gentleman, named Grew, was charged by i Police-constable, 263 M, with inter fering with him whilst n the execution of his duty that morn ing, at two o'clock, in the Borough-road, with calling him a "rogue," and attempting to assault him. Mr. Grew denied the charge, and said that whilst passing along the Borough-road with a female, he heard high worth between the constable, 263 Al, and another policeman. He stopped, and heard the former use most unbecoming language. He then said. " That is very queer language for a policeman to make use of." No. 263 M told him to move on, or he would lock him up. Mr. Grew replied that he should when he thought proper, and advanced to take No. 263's number. The latter then seized him roughly by the collar, and took him to the station-house, in which he was locked up all night. Police-constable, 112 M, corroborated the evidence of Mr. Grew, and COTTINGHAM, the sitting Magistrate, after pointing out the illegality of the conduct of policeman, 263 M, sentenced him to be imprisoned for one month.

THE STABIT MATER.—it is one proof of the merit of this work, that in the musical circles it has been relished the more the oftener it has been heard. Its succe , s with the public has been unequivocal. To-night it will be performed for the last time this season at her IN!ajesty's Theatre, and there is every reason to anticipate that it will draw a crowded audience. DREADFUL CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.—This morning between ten and eleven o'clock a very dreadful accident hap pened in the Waterloo-road, near the Victoria Theatre, by which an interesting little girl. named Margaret Randall, lost her life. It appears the child, in company with a sister and brother, rather her senior, were walking together, when the de ceased ran off the footpath into the road, after an apple which she had dropped, at the moment the carriage of Mr. Wood, of the York-road, passed along, the horses of which knocked the child down, both the near wheels passing over her body. She was taken up and carried to the shop of Mr. Brooks, in the Waterloo-road, who pronounced her dead. At the time of the accident the carriage was going at a moderate rate.
