The papers conveying that intelligence were brought to Liverpool by one of the four steam-ships (the Columbia.) employed for the conveyance of the mails and passengers between Europe and North America, and nothing can afford a stronger proof of the efficiency of the vessels on that. station than the present extraor dnary voyage across the Atlantic. We are gratified to find that Lady Bagot and-family have selected one of these steam ships (the Acadia) to convey them to Canada to join the Governor-General, Sir Charles Begot, who will meet her Ladyship at Halifax. She sails from Li verpool on the sth proximo. THE PARLIAMENT, THE PRESS, AND THE POST. — The Post of this morning has a queer, crotchety article on the subject of the Liberty of the Press, in the course of which our fantastic Contemporary, having occasion to remark on the right of the people to petition the House of Commons, observes, that there are some who think this House " the most sapient and the most justice loving Assembly on the face of the earth, which does not happen to be exactly our opinion." This sneer comes with peculiar ill grace from a Journal which was among the first to hail, the triumph of Toryism at the last elections; and to predict all sorts of blessings from the benignant and patriotic influence of dal Peel majority. We thought that the Post would nevtr have been weary of singing the praises of a House containing so many Tories—that it would have regarded it es a House built up after its own express fashion, ac cording to its own dearest wh , h—and launched its heaviest bolt of wrath at the head of the monster who dared even to hint that it was not absolute perfection. But we were mistaken, it seems. So far from being remarkable for its sagacity, the House of Commons is not even ordinarily " sapient," notwithstanding its Tory majority ; and so far from being just in its proceedings, it is not even " justice-loving !" Verily our Contempo rary is hard to please. The last House was not to his taste ; and for the present House he professes a nearly equal disrelish.. Does its Liberalism offend him ? Is he shocked at its squeamish abhorrence of bribery and cor ruption ? Not so, but he hoped that it would have distin ginelicl itself by the inveteracy of its Toryism ; that it would have carried matters with a high hand, in the old boroughmongering fashion •• that it would have supported monopolies of all kinds; and restored the dear delightful tin v s of jobbing. Because it has not done this the Post's ultra-Toryism is up in armsohd he is now perfectly ready to agree in opinion witkethe . Liberals, that the House of . Commons—the Rollie of his own adoption—is, after all, "no better than it abould be." Then, as regards the Press ! On this point,Aoo, our Contemporary is all effervescence and exacerbation. He is disgusted, he tells us, with the excess of liberty it enjoys. It is too unencumbered in its movements. Manacles would be come it vastly. An Ex:Officio or so, drawn up in the Attorney-General's neatest and most stringent manner, wculd be the greatest blessing that could befal it. If these be our Contemporary's real opinions, the remedy, so far as he himself is concerned, is easy. Let him ship himself off to St. Petersburgh, with his stock of editors, reporters,'compositors, pressmen, &c.; and then lie will find himself at once in the full enjoyment of that speciei of wholesome restraint which he so much desi derates. With the knout, the dungeon, and the Siberian mines in prospect (should he at any time so far forget himself as to discover that the Russian authorities are not immaculate, and the Russian system of despotism not the very perfection of enlightened government) he will—with his present queer notions respecting the free dom of the Press—be as happy as the day is long. We expect shortly to see him figuring in his own columns, among the " fashionable departures' for St. Petersburgh. Her Majesty received Addresses on the Throne this day at Buckingham Palace. Afterwards, at half-past two o'clock, her Majesty held a Privy Council, which was attended by the usual Cabinet Ministers and Great 011icerS. This evening the Queen gives a grand ban quet to the Queen Dowager Adelaide and a large party. tier Majesty the Queen Dowager and her brother, the Duke of Saxe 11(4141w-en, and his Duchess, arrived in tow ti this day, to attend the entertainment. AN . EARLY AND A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST is at present p: ()raised to us almost to a certainty. The prospect has operated most favourably in many places. In Ireland it is described as a peace preserver, The fine weather, and the luxuriant vegetation, have done something to soothe the hunger, and assuage the sufferings of the people of England. But they are Sc far gone that even the bounties of Providence can scarcely gladden their hearts. They will have little or no share in them. They have nothing wherewith to buy of the abundance which heaven showers on the earth, all of which is appropriated by others, and they are shared out. The number of the destitute, and their destitution is increasing every day, so that by the time the harvest is ripened they will be utterly deprived of the means of purchasing any part of it, and it is pos sible that, while they are starving, food may be consi dered as a mere drug by the farmers. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The proceedings of the French Government, with regard to the duties on our manufactures, has had a further t ffect on the prices of the Funds, and Consols hs.re been done as low as 904.

By comparing the return of the weekly average liabilities and ass e ts of the Bank of England, fur the twelve weeks, end ing t• e lbth inst., with that for the similar period, terminat ing 2lst May, it is seen that the balance in favour of the Berl is less by 122,000/. ; the difference between 2,695,0001. and 2.817,000/., arising from an increase in the liabilities of 225,0 M., while the assets have improved but 103,000!.

The increase In the cireu -I,tiou would appear to be attribntable to an improvement in trade, and it must he admitted that skits' the commencement of the month this demand for the staple articles has increased, and the produce markets is4como decidedly brisker. The increase in (no bullion must . also be 1,0„Ilted upon as favourable, since in this retitru it can only have arises-, from importations, and not from paynterit.s into the Bank of light gold, consequent ugon the late proeiam.tion. The neat accounts will dui:6,44ls show an imusen;.e. iccrease over the present, but they ;Till not be so correct ; inasmuch as the Bank will have had s large amount pass thioegh its hands in at:change.

The letters from New York, by the Colombia, are not so satisfs.stor . y as those last received. It was generally beliveed that the President would veto the Tariff Bill at present before Coreiress, and that there was some question whether there would be any duty on fosazgn goods after the end or the month, should the laws remain as they are now. The Compromise Act declares that after the 30th June, 1 342, duties shall be assessed on the value of the goods at the port where they shall ho entered, under such tegulations as shall be prescribed by law. No tegulations have been made, and the position is that no duty can be collected until they shall he.

The Lord-Chancellor, after disposing of several lunatic peti tions, proceeded to hear the farther arguments in the part heard petition of THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. VISCOUNT CANTERBURY. 'I his case, our readers will recollect, came on before the Court, some time since, upon the petition of the Attorney- General against the claim set up by Viscount Canterbury for compensation in consequence of the fire at the Hc.uses of -Par liament during the time his Lordship was Speaker. Sergeant Sir T. WILDE resumed his address on behalf of the Noble Viscount, and had not concluded when our Evening Edi, ion went to press. t O '4244S -IV SUN OFFICE Three o'clock. In the Home of Commons last night, Mr. DILLON 3IZOWNE called the attentipn of the Government to the retched condition of the famishing poor in Ireland. or I ELIOT adulated that the misery of the peasantry f rzs e xceedingly great, and that the Irish Government had telo_.n some steps to alleviate it, but he declined to in form the House what they were. It is terrible to see -the inhabitants of one of the most fertile countries in - .Europe thus subjected to all the horrors of periodical famine. Dr. WHALE, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Team, in a letter from that city, addressed to Sir BOBERT PEEL, states, as a fact known to himself, that some of the people there are obliged to go two entire days without a morsel of food. " I have made myself," -writes that Prelate, "conversant with the details of :misery, and though even a sense of duty would excuse imy absence at this season, I have thought it a more im perative duty to stay at home to encounter' all the importunities of . distress, and to soothe those pangs of suffering which it is impossible for me to appease. Numbers in this neighbourhood go to bed without tast ing a morsel of food during the entire day, and some Tasi the second, doomed_ to the same state of want." This is the sad condition of the poor t':-.rour,hout one fourth of Ireland. No - wonder then that they are fast losing all regard for the right of private property, and that the doctrine "-that it is better to seize food where ever they can find it than starve," is now generally advo cated by them. To add to the general calamity, though thousands of pounds have been spent in organising the :machinery of a Poor-lawLfor Ireland, there are as 'yet no workhouses to afford shelter to the utterly destitute. That the people of Ireland should be discontented ,:•r such dreadful privations is very natural. Neither i s it to be wondered at that they break open meal-stores and seize the provisions which they .have no means of purchasing, rather than lie (low,' and die of hunger. But it is the duty of the Government to anticipate, by relief, this appeal to force. To :plunder the public is a trade soon learned and not easily forgotten. The doctrine of a community of goods, when once acted uplin, is very apt to suggest a repeti tion of the practice. Hence the g+ eat danger of not an ticipating this crisis in the case of a hungering multitude. .Mr. Alderman WhIPHERY made a noble stand in the ,e of Commons last night for the freedom of—Turbot. The worthy Alderman left to Lord JoUN RUSSELL the less inviting task of protesting against the exclusion of corn from the tariff, and the retaining so high a duty on sugar; that he might address himself exclusively to the grievance of imposing a duty upon a fish in so great request at all City feasts. We are not surprised that so frequent a guest at the Mansion House as Alderman HumpitEnv should have spoken warmly upon so interesting and per :soma a subject. Bnt what does surprise us is the ingya -titude of Sir ROBERT PEEL, who replied by a laugh to tthe question so pathetically put by the Aldertman,•as to what mischief turbot had done, that it should be singled out as the special object of taxation ? Yes, the Premier, who is himself a merchant tailor and a freeman of the City, and therefore ought to sympathize with the woes .of Aldermen—who so often feasted at the expense of the City, and therefore ought to have cherished a grate ful remembrance of civic hospitality—we repeat, this wary Premier only laughed _in • answer to Alderman IIumPHERY's pathetic appeal for the free impor tation of fresh turbot ! Can any person after this .question the immeasurable. extent of official ingratitude? What ! tax an Alderman's turbot, and Glow a poor man's herring to pass untaxed ? Does this :draw gratitude towards the givers of City dinners ? IThee did ever the miserable devourers of Yarmouth bloaters . entertain her MAJESTY'S Ministers with turtle and . venison, and all the luxuries of the :season ? Why, therefore, extend to them a boon moused to the providers of such splendid enter taint:fent, as well as their most abundant par takers ? It is for Sir ROBERT PEEL to answer these questions. In the mean time, we call upon the Alder :manic body to adopt some public means of resenting thii3 Ministerial attempt to curtail Mansion House dinners of their fair and established proportions—this filching of turbot from the City feasts. The following letter from Greece included in the (rwlvisli correspondence of a Contemporary, bearing t ime the 7th inst., shows the extent to which " the re twurces of that country are drained by Bavarian adven turers." We are assured that the picture it presents is mot the least exaggerated, and that the figures are pQr fectly correct : " The budget has been discussed in the Council of State, which has given rise to many public attacks on the old re pejed grievance of the sums lavished upon Germans. The Ministerial paper coolly replies, that there are, in truth, very few Bavarian officers in the service—cnly such as are become indispensably necessary in particular departments of the civil :and military service. I beg thereon to subjoin a few figures. The organisation of the army is composed of 2C6 officers ; of it's 131 ate natives of Bavaria. There are besides 72 13aysrians in other branches of the public service. These '223 foreigner.: receive annually 573,780 drachmas (20;4040 of Greek _pay, or four - fifths of the deficit , according to the Bud lot. Lille revenues are statedto be 18,500,000 drachmas, and the expenses 19,1. 3 00 000 drachmas ; but there is reason to bee Iliewe that the fornifr figure is an exaggeration.] The foreign wasters hold the highest rank in the artillery, engineers, anti ether scientific departments of the army ; and the civil em ployes are Professors in the -11e:iversities, Judges, archi tects &c. Their r.,eri's may, I think, be fairly esti mated Score the standard of their former rank and social positioa in Germany. Of the officers few ever held a com mission in the Bavarian army, but were nearly all private soldiers, a few only were subalterns, six of the latter are now full Color:els. The professors' came as shopkeepers and ar t.san: to Greece (the Eldorado of Bavaria), and here,have be come int-t:rmorphosed into academicians, learned lawyers, or :mighty architects. The worst has yet to be told. For instance, ielul.tions of the army . require that every officer shall preViously pass an exannriatton before a military court pre vious to obtaining his commissior. ; - now, riot only are the Bavarians entirely exempted from this regulation, but the board for the ex unination of Greek officers is composed wholly of Bavarians." It is nonsense to talk of th freedom of Greece while ihr. s system is suffered to continue. Our only wonder is the great forlearance exhibited by the Greek people. Were tL ey to throw King OTIIO and his Bavarians into the sae.% it ' you'd not occasion us the least surprise. i;:tcppt the ,Rayal ordounanco for imposing a duty upon imported lincn and linen thread, and aletvling article in Cuurrier Francais, on the Eastern question, there is nonSiis of any political interest in the French Jour nals of Monday. Of course there is plenty of election matter, but it is of no interest out of France. The ful levying is the Courtier's article on ~the affairs of the A terrible crisis is getting up at Constantinople, which may skei:le the very existence of the Ottoman empire. The policy re a,:tion, which some months past it was hoped was near its en d, g aining 4rength every day, and the effect which it pro &wee are becoming more, and more alarming. A general in surrection may at any time time take place in Syria. In Diar tbekir a n d at Alossul a revolt has already burst forth ; Bulgaria is in commotion ; bleed has been spilt at Aivaii and Calymnos, where the inhabitants determined on resisting the insupport ;able vexations of the authorittes. Wallachia was beginning to prosper ; but Russia, fearing that the Sclavonian power, which tia.us was springing up on her frontiers, might hereafter prove an ebstade to her plans, contrived to excite disturbances there, and then, under cloak of those tumultuous movements, obtained from the Porte that Chekib Effendi should be sent to Bucharest as extraordinary commissioner. Chekib is .entirely dcvoted to the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and w i ll on ly act according to her suggestions. It is said that X. de Metternich is beginning to get uneasy at this state ,of things, and that he regrets each day more and more the toe-operation which. Austria so inconsiderately gave to the treaty effiuly 15. The state of Syria, is the principal cause o f th e differences which are now in agitation between the Porte and the _European Powers. England, which guaranteed to the tribes of , the Lebanon, in 1840, through Mr. Wood, the maintenance , of their privileges, protests with great vivacity against the :nomination of a Mussulman to the direct government of the AMountain, and against the presence of the Albanians in Syria. 'The Austrian Internuncio unites with Sir S. Canning, and M. e lm Botirquencv follows in their train, by order of M. •Guixot. But Itussia, far front joining in those efforts, excites ithe Livan to resist. The representatives of France, England, 7and Aasotria, have been exceedingly discontented with the lan :guage held by the Rtssian Charge d'Affairs in the confer .enms which took place At the French Embassy, and they edeeideil that they ought to treat with the Divan -without the co.operation of .11 , 1. de Titow. The Sultan was ,Itst,o.ed to folt-w their councile; but his Ministers, gamed .over by Russia, have caused this good int..ntii.n to be fruitless. Eve:yhuoy sees what Russia aims at in exciting troubles in the 'Ottoman empire, but the aim of these proceedings of Russia 'escapes this notice of the imbecile and fanatic council ttisrs of the Sultan. Who could believe that Sarin . ) when pressed by the. Anibassxdois to put an end to the disorders of Syria, , should ..repV by comparisons drawn from the state of France and England, and by remind big the Conference of the million s of signatures to the Chartist ttttu,n, and of the disorders at Toulouse and Clermont? •Vh e m adman ! who does riot understand the difference which /exists between the crisis that occurs in a normal state, and :the convulsions and the rattle of death; Thus the judge iment which the Opposition in France had formed against the Treaty of Ju l y , is fully justified.

Up to the time of our going to press no case of sufficient intei est to admit of its being reported carne before the Court. ‘r!CE-CH ANCIIItY.-(TH IS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England was eccupied the whole morning with cause petitions. QUEEN'S BENCI-1.-(THIS DAY.) BREESE V. BRAKE. This was an action brought to recover the value of a gold watch.and appendages, and also some money, the property of the plaintiff, which it was alleged was unlawfully detained by the defendant. The defendant we., an inspector of police, and the plaintiff had been taken into custody in connection with a charge brought against certain parties for smoking in a Blackwell Railway-carriage. The plaintiff, on being taken to the station-house, was searched as usual, and the property found upon him taken charge of by the Inspector, in accord ante with the police regulations. The defend nt was taken before the Lord Mayor the next morning, and the charge was dismissed. The Inspector then proposed to give him up the property found on him, namely, the watch and appendages, and the money, to recover the value of which the present action had been brought, en his (plaintiff's) signing the charge sheet, as a t eceipt for the articles. This it appeared was the usual practice of the police in all similar cases. The plaintiff rein ed to sign the charge sheet as required, stating that if he were to do so it would be an admission of the charge. The defendant then, it war alleged, presented the plaintiff with a blank sheet of paper, and told him if he would give a receipt on that (which would be no ad mission at all), the articles would be restored to him. The plaintiff, however, refused to do so, contending that the givi g of any receipt would be an admission of the charge, and the Inspector refused to give up the pro perty without a receipt, and still retained •possession of r. With regard to the nature of the receipt demanded there was a great deal of conflicting evidence, the plaintiff's witnesses utterly denying the statements of the police. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, told the Jury that if they were satisfied that the acknowledgment demanded by the ce fendant was only a proper acknowledgment, then they must find their verdict for the defendant. If, however, they should be f opinion that the defendant had demanded more than a prof er acknowledgment for the articles, then their verdict would be fur filo plaintiff. 'I he Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 51., for the unlawful detention of the articles. Lord DENMAN said the verdict had better be taken for 2.51:, to be reduced to 5/. on the restitution of the articles in ques tion. One of the police authorities gave an assurance that the articles would be given up the moment they were claimed. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) SOMES V. LAWSON. 'I his was an action for an alleged libellous article in the Times newspaper. The defendant is the publisher of the Times, and the plaintiff is the extensive ship-owner in the City. It ,appeared that a vessel, the property of the plaintiff, had been engaged to convey emigrants from Scotland to New South Wales; but after a few days' sail from the part whence she had embarked she had been found in so leaky a condition that it lvcame necessary to put her in at Plymouth, where she underwent a thorough repairing. The case had attracted much public attention at the time • and the Times newspaper in commenting on it, stated not only, as was admitted by all parties, that the vessel was leaky on leiving Scotland, but that she had not beed put in a seaworthy condition at Plymouth. It was now admitted by the counsel for the defendant that this latter statement bad been ascertained to be erroneous, and that his client was-ready to withdraw it. An arrangement was then - entered into between both parties, that the jury should return a verdict for the plaintiff, damages forty shillings. This verdict was accordingly returned. I'l.e Attorney-General appeared fur the plaintiff, and the So'icitor- General for the defendant. INSOLVEN T COURT-(THIS DAY) IN RE C. J. TRAPE. The insolvent in this case, who was a ship and insurance brcker, carrying on business in Four Nags Head-court, Grace church-street, applied to be liberated on bail until the day ap pointed for his final hearing. His son having been examined, along with three or four other witnesses, relative to the disposal of certain furniture at the insolvent's private residence, Grove-terrace, Peel ham, and ss.me property at his country house; in Gracechurch-street, the bail was allowed to justify, when the insolvent was dis charged. IN RE JOHN WADDINOTON. 'I his insolvent likewise applied to be liberated on bail. In his schedule he was described by his attorney as being " by profession " a brush-maker and carpenter. Air. Commissioner REYNOLDS said it was most ridiculous for persons to adopt such terms, descriptive of their occupation in lire. He always understood the proper designation in cases like the present would be a trade, and he was sure that 'am in solvent would be recognised much more easily by his numerous creditors if he were described as a tradesman than as a profes sion:A man.—Bail accepted. Twenty-seven bail cases appeared on the paper, the greater number of which were disposed of without involving any point of interest. PO LICE INT E 1.1,1 G ENC jiJ MARLBOROUGH STREET. Thomas Curling, an elderly shabbily-dressed man, was charged with making use of insulting and abusive lan guage towards Weston Jolliffe, Esq , of No. 62, Pall Mall, ill. I'., for Surrey, tending to promote a breach of the peace. Mr. Jolliffe stated that about half-past seven o'clock last even:ng ' as he was proceeding through Church-passage, Pic cadilly, he met the prisoner, who accosted him by saying in a loud and threatening tone, " Well, have you got nothing to give me yet?" Complainant endeavoured to avoid him and pa a on, but he followed close at his heels, and called out, " You're a hard, b-y villain." In consequence com plainant gave him in charge to the police. M. AI ALTBY Asked if this was the first time the defendant had behaved in thi4 manner ? Mr. Joll ffe said he had hem annoyed by him continu ally during the last twenty years, and the defendant had been frequently imprisoned for his misconduct. Air. MALTBY asked what was the prisoner's motive? Mr. Jolliffe said that the defendant imagined that he had a right to an estate new in the posses ion of him (complainant) and Sir Francis Shelley, left by the late Marquis of Camden. The ca , e was tried before Lord Mansfield, and the defendant's claim negatived. The defendant begged to be set at libel ty, and he would so lemnly promise not to annoy Mr. Jolliffe any more. Mr. Jolliffe said the defendant had so often broken his word, that no dependence could be placed on his promises. He was then fined 405., or one mouth's imprisonment. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A young Iran, who described himself as the property man in Sadler's WeLs Tlcatre, appled for a summons again st one of the chief actors there for pulling his nose. 31r. COMBE—What was the reason of his doing so, and where did it. take . place? Applicant—He struck me on the stage because I had not placed a spoon on the table, which formed part of the appal atus of 1) - .e scene in the play. Mr. Coals—And why did y-u not do so? Applicant— Because I had not got it, nor orders to buy it.—The summons was granted. UNION LIALL.-(TIIIS DAY.) S.anuel Fish, a policeman of the P division, and Olivia Dot is, cook in a gentleman's family at Tuise.hill, were brought up under the fallowing circumstances : )ti the preceding night the female prisoner was missing, at a late hour, from her master's house, and on search being made for her, she and the policeman were found together in a sum mer-Louse at the bottom of the garden drinking a bottle of wig s, while his lantern was placed on the settle to " throw a light on the subject." The wine cellar having been broken opm in order to procure the beverage for the policeman ; both the arties were given into custody. On a further examina tion r,f the female prisoner's boxes, several articles belongin,, to her master were found, together with a quantity of tea and sugar, and the whole of the property being identified as stolen, Davis, the cock, was committed for trial, and the policeman was lined 10s. which incapacitates him in future from sening iu the Force. • Mary .keen, a woman of the town, was charged with robbing George Gibson, a sailor, just paid off .from a frigate recently arrived from foreign service. The sailor was paid off at Chatham, and on landing from a Gravesend steamer, in walking along Tooley•street, he was accosted by theprisoner, and was prevailed upon by her to ac company her to a house in that neighbourhood. lie had not been lung in the place when his companion, under the pretence of going for some rum-and-shrub, left the house, and not re turning, he discovered that he had been robbed of a bag, con taining thirty-one sovereigns, the whole of his wages while cruising on the coast of Africa. The money was not found upon the pr.soner when takers into custody. She was remanded for further examination. rHE FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES.) BRITISH FUNDS. Bank Stock 166 ilndia Stock 3 per Cent.

The greater portion of the original columns of the Paris Journals is filled with articles on the approaching elections. The distinguishing feature in the organs of the Oppc sition is violent hostility to M. Guizot and to England, of which they describe him to be the instrument. It is difficult, however, to say 11,,w much of the virulence with which England is spoken of arises from the hatred of M. Guizot, or how much the oppo sition to that Minister is heightened by the mere fact that he is an advocate for the continuance of friendly relations with the English Government. The Debuts, alluding to the speech of Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons on the 23d inst., in reply to some ob servations relative to the supposed intrigues of Russia in Aff gbanistan, says—" It appears to us that Sir R. Peel over leaps his object. Such an exaggeration of candour, from a Government which never sinned in that particular, is an abso lute puerility. How can any one be persuaded that Russia will exert herself to establish English supremacy in Asia? Sir R. Peel ought to have added that Russia proposed to pay the ex penses of the Atighanistan campaign, as well as the 375 mil lions ef francs that the East India dompany has added to the budget in the last three years. That Russia, after having launched England, in spite of herself, into this unhappy war, should at present manifest the most touching repentance, is very easy to be conceived, but that England should be the dupe of the se posthumous assurances, or that she should practise in so unusual a degree the forgiveness of injuries, will nut be readily believed,' We learn from the Toulon journals that at nine in the morning of fee 22d inst., Admiral Hugon's squadron, includ ing the Belle Poule, commanded by the Prince de Joinville, got under weigh, but the wind was too light to carry the ships 1 through the Gut. Four steamers were immedieely ordered to get up their steam and tow the ships into the offing. At 12 o'clock the whole squadron was in full sail with an easterly wind. Its destination is believed to be the coast of Italy. The Greek Observer of the 9th inst. informs us that on the 3d Admiral Susse gave a grand entertainment. with dancing, on board the Inflexible, at the Pincus. The King and Queen of Greece ss ere present, and remained until midnight. Amongst the amusements of the evening was a vaudeville performed b) amateurs of the crew. The Gazette du Midi, of the 23d init., publishes a letter from Algiers, of the 20th, in which is is stated that accounts had been received there on the 17th, of a check experienced by the garrison of Milianah, in which the French are reported to have had seven officers, seventeen non-commissioned officers, and one hundred privates, killed. The news of the 2lst, from Madrid, is unimportant. The coalition remains as united and compact as ever, and at a meet ing of it- members, which took place on the 20th, came to the resolution to maintain the principles by which it had recently achieved a parliamentary victory, and that, in order to carry out those principles at all hazard, a special Committee should be appointed, as a permanent representation of the majority, to watch over the means to be adopted for the realisation of the ends; in view. _ _ . The Madrid Gazette gives an authorised and indignant con tradiction to a report that the Minister of Finances contem plated a national bankruptcy, and states that " whatever finan cial reforms may be introduced with a view to ameliorate the condition of the tax-payer or the public creditor, neither the Minister of Finances, nor any of his colleagues, will take upon themselves to pi opose to the Cortes any measure not in con formity with morality and public propriety." A letter from Rome gives an interesting account of a grand fete given on the 4th instant by the Duke de Torlonia, at his magnificent villa, on the occasion of inaugurating an obelisk brought there at an immense expense from the Simplon. Up wards of 18,000 invitations were sent out, and the King of Bavaria, the College of Cardinals, all the Foreign Ministers resident at Rome, the prelacy and nobility, and the most dis tinguished citizens, both natives and foreigners, were mingled together in the walks, alleys, and lawns of the beautiful grounds of the Duke's residence. To add to the general satisfaction, the Pope honoured the splendid scene with his presence, and remained for two hours in the throng, conversing benevolently with all who were near him, like a father amidst his children. PARLTAMENTARY. The Irish Municipal Bill was carried up from the Commons, and read a first time in the Lords. A Committee to investigate the administration of oaths was appointed. Lord Mounteashel called the attention of their Lordships to the conduct of Mr. Phelan/ a Poor-law Commissioner in Ire land, sshs had neglected to comply with an order of their Lord ships, to provide certain returns relative to the medical charities of Ireland. The subject gave rise to much conversation, but the motion to lay all the letters addressed to Mr. Phelan on the table, was rejected. The Lord Chancellor laid on the table a short Bill to post pone the operation of the jurisdiction of the Justices Bill for a season, as it would otherwise come into operation in the middle of the Quarter Sessions. It was read a first time. Their Lord ships then adjowned. The Chairman of the Southampton Committee reported in the Commons, that John Fleming Luce had not attended the Con mit tee when ordered, and Mr. Luce was ordered to attend the House on Thursday. There was a reference made to hunger and to outrages in Ire land, hut these have been for so long a period the unhappy lot of the Irish, that the reference did not command much attention. In reply to Mr. Hume, Mr. Gladstone assured him that the proclamation for the issue of half-farthings was not a hoax, and that this small coin was very useful in the colonies. Mr. Walter was called to the bar, and, after he had been heard, an order was made, on the motion of Mr. Roebuck, and alter a division, that Mr. Walter do attend the Election Proceed ings Committee this day. Mr. Walter was subsequently called in, and made acquainted with the order of the House, and so ended, for the present, Mr. Walter's resistance . to the orders of the Committee. Mr. Roebuck subsequently reported that Mr. Bailie Coch rane, a Member of the House, when respectfully requested to attend the Committee, had positively refused. Mr. Cochrane is to attend in his place to-day to explain the refusal. The Customs Bill or tariff was read a third time. Several amendments were proposed in it which occupied the House the greater part of the evening, but towards midnight they were all finally disposed of, and the Bill was passed amidst cheers, and ordered also, amidst cheers, to be carried up to the Lords this day. For the remainder of the evening the House was discussing the provisions of the British Possessions Abroad Bill on the third reading, which went through that stage. The House adjourned at One o'Clock. • MONEY — TRADE—COMMEIIen. The new coinage of half-farthings is not the first issue , of that coin from the British Mint. In the 35th year of King Henry 111., Pope Innocent IV., having called for tubsidies from this country, " for the Holy Land ," a new coinage was issuer', amongst which were half-farthings. In the 10th year of Edward 111., there was an Act for coining half-farthings in Ireland, and Queen Elizabeth issued a proclamation for the coinage of the same in new copper. Yesterday a meeting of the Shareholders of the London and Black wall Railway was held at the London Tavern,when the Re port stated that the present capital was 800,0001. The Directors were authorised to raise 66,0001., the sum necessary for the completion of the work. pITELIO IMPROVEMENTS. Several of the low and old streets in the district of White chapel are to come down, and a new street, which is to run from the London Docks completely through Whitechapel to Spitaltields Church, is to be immediately constructed. .GAXCULTLTRILL- - Tra At Maidstone, Bosley , and /T yes or , the hop-pines have suffered much from the continued drought: at Waterin.bury, Merew orth and Brenchley they have been greatly bruised by the streng winds. .8 . 17 . 3 D MILITARY. _ _ A new regiment, to be designated the 100th Foot, is about to be rai,ed and ctganizt dby the end of next month, at Win cheAer. T=AW AND POLICE, At the Cou►t of Bankruptcy yesterday; in the case of Wil liams and Mottrom, linen-drapers, after one or two clerks had been subjected to a searching examination, the further hearing was aejourued. Frederick Astell, a police-constable, No. 86, was yesterday brought before the Magistrate at Worship -street, for having exceeded his duty, and acted with unnecessary severity to wards Thomas AP Hugh, a bonnet-block manufacturer of l{ox ton, whose house he broke into, and whom he afterwards locked up all night in the station-house on a groundless charge of ha ing attempted to drown his own son. The Magistrate, after hearing the case, said that, as defendant had erred from lack of judgment, and not from any bad intention, lie should merely adjudge lii►ii to pay a fine of twenty shillings, which was ace, ming!). paid. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS THE LATE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF HER MAJESTY. While the fate of Francis is still in suspense, a reca pitulation of sore of the circumstances connected with the recent attempt on the life of her Majesty may not be unacceptable. There is no doubt but that the decision atf:ectine• b the life of this convict AN ill be ma terially influenced by the view in which the attempt on Sunday, the 29th ult., is regarded by the authorities, ina'much as that attempt evinced not less strongly than the act of firing at her Majesty, the • " foregone conclu sion" and purpose of his mind, despite of a construction favourable to the prisoner, so ingeniously raised by his counsel. In the same proportion, however, that the at tempt of Sunday weighs heavily against him, is, we con sider, the value of the information given the same even ing' at the Palace, and communicated to her Majesty early on Monday ; for • had no intelligence been given in. consequence of the attempt witnessed by the youth Pearson, what a fearful event might have been the result, and how .great the calamity which the nation might have had to deplore. The import ance of the information so communicated, through the medium of the elder brother of the youth and Mr. Dousbery, of Brooke-street, to Sir Peter Laurie, and through his instrumentality to the Royal Household and to the Home-office, was fully recognised by the Attor ney-i-ieneral on the trial ; who, after referring strongly to the.fact, that it was " not the first time" that the pri soner had attempted to commit the crime with which he was charged, expressly stated that, owing to the infor mation previously given, " every precaution was taken to guard her Majesty's life from danger the next day." The evidence of Colonel Arbuthnot was yet more direct, in allusion to the precautions taken, for be says pointedly, that in consequence of the information he received, " I rode as closely to the Queen's carriage as my horse would allow me ;" and further, that " Colonel Wylde also role as close to her Mejesty's carriage as r oisible, but on the opposite side." The royal carriage was like wise driven considerably faster than usual, and that these were precautions well calculated to preserve her Majesty from the threatened danger cannot be denied, even by those who are inclined to attach some degree of negligence to the authorities, after having had reason to believe that an evil design was contemplated. From these facts it would undoubtedly appear that the preservation of a life so invaluable to the country is, under Providence, to be ascribed, in the first instance at least, to the prompt information given of the circum stances alluded to, which information, if kept back, though but for a single day, would have been utterly useless in averting the deplorable result which it is but too probable might have occurred. Assuredly the safety alter Majesty has been in no degree owing to the extra ordinary zeal exhibited by the policeman (Trounce) sta tioned in the Park on the Monday afternoon, who ac cording to his own statement, though his attention had been directed particularly to Francis, and being, moreover within a yard of him at the moment of the attack, could not succeed in preventing his firing at her Majesty, but - .nstead of watching the movements of the man, confesses (From the rotes and Proceedings qf the House of Commons. ) TUESDAY, JUNE 28.

He seized him, indeed, after the act, and when all the mist.hief in his power to commit had been effected ; but it must be admitted that to whomsoever, and in whatever degree, praise may be dte, in estimating the probable causes of her Majesty's safety, the previous efforts of those more immediately concerned in the appre hension of the prisoner, had sufficiently little to do with it. With reference to the trial, it may be remarked that, considering the absence of decided proof as to the load ing' of the pistol, of which such able use was made by the counsel for the prisoner, the evidence of the witness Pearson the lad above - mentioned , cannot be over estimated in importance, as it served most strongly to negative the pretence set up, on behalf of Francis, of the absence. of malignant intention against the life of the Queen. • With the strange verdict in the case of Oxford before us, it is very possible, and even probable, that the Jury, not having any proof of the pistol being loaded with ball, might, but fur the evidence of this witness, have not unwillingly availed themselves of an oppor tunity of exonerating the prisoner from the weightier part of the charge, and left him to -suffer the punishment in curred by simply firing at the -royal carriage, loaded with powder only, and without any murderous intent. After what was sworn to, however, as to the equally atrocious attempt on the Sunday,' no rational doubt was left on the minds of the Jury as to his real object, and consequent liability to the punishment and doom which, as a traitor, he has justly merited, and from which only the mercy of his Sovereign, whose life he has so wickedly attempted, can relieve him.

THE MARKETS.-(T HIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh supply of most kinds of Grain was inconsiderable. The few fine parcels of English Wheat that were for sale ob tained Monday's :terms. Oats of good quality were rather dearer; other kinds firmly maintained their former terms. COLONIAL MARKET. There was little business done, but in prices little variation took place. The imports were fair. Raw Sugar was dull of sale, at declining prices. Brown West India 583. 6d. to 61s. 6d., and Yellow 623. 6d. per cwt. Coffee sold slowly, but prices did ant give way. 755. to 765. for good ordinary Cey lon. Rum dull of sale. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10hd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 44, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25 50, it follows that gold is 0.38 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4301 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 4 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 74, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 9i, it follows that gold is 0.81 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1074 per cent., and the par of exchange between England anti America being 109 23-40 per cent: it follows that the ex change is 1.82 per cent: against England. But the quoted exchange at New York, being fur bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. TEA MARKET. The market was firm, and a good business was transacted, indeed the quantity of Tea in the market was not sufficient fur the wants of our dealers. Company's Congou, cash, is. 9d. TALLOW MARKET. There were few buyers, but holders were firm, and got 48s. 3d. per cwt. for small parcels of yellow Candle on the spot, and 495. 3d. for delivery in last three months of the year. WOOL MARKET. The market was firm for both English and Foreign, and a fair business was transacted both at full rates. PEPPER MARKET. This article was held with firmness,.and a good business was dune. Common Sumatra at 2id. per lb. . The English Stock Market was heavy all day, and prices underwent a decline of * per cent., which is fully accounted for by the ordinance relative to the import of British linens and other thread yarn manufactures into France. Contrary to general expectation the Blackwell Railway meet ing, held to-day at the London Tavern, went off with perfect unanimity, and the discussion which ensued relative to the steam-boat speculation was such as to fill the minds of the Shareholders with every confidence in the Directors, who stated in the most direct and unqualified manner that some of the ca pital of the railway had or soon would be applied to the use of that undertaking. It had been undertaken by themselves and their friends with the view to increase the traffic of the railway, which it had already done in a must enormous degree, and while proving a source of great convenience to the public, would, it was hoped, enhance the value of the Blackwell line of road. A resolution, especially to thank the Directors in this affair, was passed by acclamation, and the very satisfactory manner in which all the questions put were answered elicted the general approbation of the meeting. The purpose of call ing together the shareholders, which was to empower the Com pany to raise their remaining portion of capital, 66,0001., was not for a moment opposed, and resolutions to that effect were at once passed. SUN.-1 he Funds at the end of yestet day again became de pressed, and Consols, having been held at 91 for the opening ex div., left off at the quotations (nominally) of 91 to 914. Three per Cent.

And while the impolicy of the measure on the part of the French is fully ad mitted, the proceedings of our own Government have not es caped censure. Without trenching upon the question of how far our collieries can bear the imposition of an export duty on coal, it is thought that it shows some fear of their continental manufacturers, and that it is about to be levied, as much to dis tress them, as for the sake of revenue. it is to be regretted that our competitors should have been furnished with so excel lent an answer to any complaint which may be made against their new regulation. coHRSE OF EXCHANGE—(YESTERDAY.I Amsterdam CF. 12 8 Gibraltar .

ACCIDENT TO THE MARCHIONESS OF WATER- FORD. DUBLIN, JUNE 27.—A very painful sensation was produced in town this morning by an account, said to have ben brought by some passengers in the Waterford mail, that the young and beautiful Marchioness of Waterford had met with an accident of so seri us a nature as to endanger her life. I have been unat le to learn the particulars of this deplorable occurrence further than that the Marquis and Marchioness were taking a drive in a phaeton on Saturday afternoon, through the de mesne of Curraghmere, when the horses, a pair of spirited thoroughbreds, became unmanageable and ran away. The Marchioness, under the influence of sudden fright, threw her self from the phaeton, and received very severe injuries about the head. It is statel that an express has arrived in Dublin for medical assistance, and that messengers have been sent off to- England to summon over some members of the family of Lord Stuart de liothesay. I have detailed these particulars as they reached me ; but there appears to be nothing like an- authentic account in tow n. Under such circumstances, I may be permitted to express a hope that the report of the accident is much ex aggerated. The Waterford papers received this morning, are silent upon the subject. : Hail-past Four o'Clock. The report of the melancholy accident to the Marchioness of Waterford is, I regret to say, but too well founded. The IVarquis, as well as his lovely bride, was thrown out of the phaetcn, and both have been very severely injured. The acci dent tool place in the demesne, as I have stated, in conse quence of the running away of the horses, and the upsetting of the vehicle. The Marquis and Marchioness were observed lying upon the ground in a state of insensibility, by some dray nimn in the service of Messrs. I'slalcomson, the proprieti.rs of the cotton-mills at Portlaw, adjacent t'r Curraghmore, who ci.nveyed them to the Castle. Some medical gentlemen, who were immediately called in, considered the case one of so set i ons a nature, that they deemed it necessary to send for assist ance to Dublin, and at once an express was dispatched for the Surgeon-General, Sir Philip Crampton. When the messen ger arrived, Sir Philip was out of town, and his nephew, Sur geon Smyly, immediately Proceeded to Curraghmore. THE MAGISTRACY. Mr. Mansergh St. George, whose restoration to the Com mission of the Peace has lately been a subject cf discussion in both Houses of Parliament, was sworn in a Magistrate of the county of Galway, at the head Police-office, on Saturday. The Earl of Shannon has sent in his resignation as a De ',ley-Lieutenant of the county of Cork. A PROTESTANT CLERGYMAN REFUSING TO PAY TITHES! —We have been informed that a Protestant clergyman was processed at the Ballymote Quarter Sessions, at the suit of the Attorney-General. for an arrear of tithe composition, and that his Reverence took defence, and was so fortunate as to defeat the first Law Officer of the Crown. Thus, it seems that even the ministers of the Church, by law established, are net en anicured of tithes, if they should be required to pay them out of their con pockets.— Sligo Champion. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. I send you a letter, addressed to Sir Robert Peel, by Dr. M•Flale, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, on the deplor able condition of the peasantry in the west of Ireland. " Num bers (he says) in this very neighbourhood, go to bed without tasting a morsel of food during the entire day, and some pass the second; doomed to the same experiment." GERMAN OPERA.—The grand opera of the Hugue nots will be performed this night at Covent-garden theatre (for the last time on the English stage), for the benefit of Miss Lutzer. ----- --- THE COTTAGE ALLOTMENT SYSTEM IMPROVED.— Two or three years ago Sir Arthur de Capell Brooke, Bart., caused to be cleared an extensive tract of forest land in the neighbourhood of Cottiugham, near Rockingham, Northamp tonshire. The land was let in small parcels of an acre, or more or less, to cottagers and labourers in the neighbouring villages. The first year the lemur of clearing the land was considered an equivalent for rent ; afterwards, we believe, 21. per acre was to be paid for it. Within the past few months a Temperance Society, en the teetotal principle, has been established in the v.llage of Cottingham, under the patronage of Sir Arthur. The society embraces upwards of one hundred mem bers, several of whom were habitual drunkards. So deeply interested is the above philanthropic Baronet in the promotion of the moral and social welfare of the people, that he has caused it to be notified that every holder of an acre of land, or under, shall have the land rent free for one year, on condition of his signing the teetotal pledge, and adhering to it for the time stated.

ATE LANCHOLY AND FATAL AOCIDENT.—LaSt night a middle-aged man, of the name of David Richfield, lost his life under the following distressing circumstances:—lt appears that the unfortunate individual was engaged unloading a barge containing timber, which was lying in the Export Commercial Docks, liotherhithe. While he was descending from the hold with a heavy plank upon his back, his foot slipped, and he was precipitated to the hottona pf the companion-ladder, a distance of per twenty feet. An his fall he received a severe contusion of the scull and fracture of Vino thigh; and on being carried to quy'4 he lingered in the most excruciating agony f ox %bout an hour, when he expired.

A report has reached town, which states the death of a Nobleman, the sale of whose effects has recently attracted the attention of the fashionable world. It is to be hoped that the statement will be found premature. The late Sir Joseph Litticdale, was the eldest son of Henry Littledale, Esq., of Eton House, Lancashire. He was educated at Cambridge, where he was Senior Wrangler and First Smith's prizeman in 1787, was called to the bar in 1798, and filled the office of a Judge of the Court of Queen's Bench from 1824 to February, 1841. when he retired, and was succeeded by Mr. Justice Wightman. He was knighted 1824, and sworn in a Privy Councillor on retiring from the bench on the usual pension. At a meeting of the Governors of Bethlehem Hospi•al on Monday, inquiry was made by a Governor as to the truth of the reports respecting Oxford, who was represented to have an allowance of a lint of wine I.er day, and masters to teach him the French and German languages. The President con trad,cted the whole rumour, Ls not having the least foundation. PEREGRINE LUNGE.—The new novel, just pub 11,1u d by Mr. 'I ht odore Hook, in comicality of character and int idea, is equal, if not superior, to the best of this unri valled author's. former works. Those who have laughed over the whimsical eccentricities of Mrs. Rarusbottom will find in " Peregrine Bucce" a new and irresistible excitement of their risibility. The disasters of Peregrine, in his hunt for a wife, are among the richest of all the droll passages in our language ; and in exhibitit.g, in the broadest colours, the meanness of our new " Ceel, bs," the humourous author, while he makes us "die with laughter," does not miss his aim to rouse our indignati; n at those who would render marriage a mere agent for mercenary si eeelatipn.
