The array of names is not overwhelmingly formidable for rank, influence, or intellect. Minte' date must be the system which wooh! fail to arta.; against it hundreds of such oppo nents. Lord Ca - .Y.JIENTs with great good sense observed, that if half five time and trouble which were bestowed upon the con'. ersion of poor Roman Catholics, were be stowed upwa the education and instruction of poor Pro testants to Ireland, a most desirable result would be ob • tained. This fact is notorious to all who are acquainted with Ireland. There thousands of Protestants are left in the most deplorable state of ignorance, while the whole influence of the Kildare-street Society is brOught to bear upin the conscience of some old woman, with a view to induce her to swallow a bowl of mutton-broth on Frithry ! nappy is the travelling missionary, who can report that, by the temptation of a pair of brogues, or a new wallet, he prevailed upon a mendicant Papist to abjure counting his beads, and fasting when he could find anything to eat. The "dear man" is looked upon Z)y the Society as a saint—as an apostle, expressly calked to promulgate the Gospel among the idolatrous Papists of Ireland, and as every ap proach to perfection brings a higher salary, the candidates, upon such terms, find the business of Papist converting far too profitable to think of devoting any part of their time to the instruction of their ignorant co religionists. The Hon. Baronet the Member for Col chester, drew a revolting picture of the obscene course of education in Maynooth. It is very surprising that such a course of youthful instruction should produce the most zealous and moral priesthood in the world; and yet, strange to say, such is the known and universally ad mitted fact. But the course of education in Maynooth was defended by Lord ELIOT, as being the same as that which prevailed in all Roman Catholic Universities. The Noble Lord added, that in no place was there greater purity of morals than in Ireland, among the people whose daily conduct was influenced by the advice and example of the Roman Ca tholic priesthood. We ought to, feel grateful for the forbearance of the Irish Members upon this occasion. We were somewhat apprehensive that they might retort upon English hypocrites the course of edu cation pursued at the English Universities, and the state of morals among our own people, as detailed in the evi dence recently submitted to the House of Commons by Colliery and Mining Commissioners. It would puzzle Sir 11. Drams to hold out, as examples to others, a well paid State priesthood, thousands of whose flocks are proved to have arrived at ripe maturity without ever having heard of GOD, or the great scheme of Chris tian redemption. The opportunity was a tempting one ; and, looking dispassionately at the question, we must say that the Irish Members manifested as much for bearance as good feeling and good taste in not availing themselves of it. Something, however, ought to be done to prevent Cp_.se annual exhibitions of sectarian, anti-Christian in tolerance. The Roman Catholics are justly becoming disgusted with these foul attacks upon their faith, and if they be repeated from year to year the grant will be re fuscd, and thus the Government will lose all right to control the supervision and inspection of the education of the Roman Catholic priesthood. Many of the Irish priests already protect against the grant ; the Liberal Irish papers treat it with contempt ; and even Mr. O'CONNELL himself has become indifferent to it. 6ir ROBERT PEEL is fully aware of this, and has acknowledged its importance by previously apprising the Roman Catholic hierarchy that, . btit for the great distress of the country, he would increase the grant to Mayntioth, and that he would do so next year, if in office. This, after all, is the great point to consider, viz., Is the right to superintend, and to some ex tent direct the education of the priesthood of seven millions of subjects, worth the paltry sum of eight or ten thousand a-year ? Is the devotion of thrt priesthood, in a country where they are all-powerful, and v; here the laws derive their authority from mere brute force, worth such an outlay on the part of the British Treastnky ? Lord ELIOT acknowledges that the Re roan Catholic priests exerted themselves most meri toriously and strenuously in assisting the Government to put down the disturbances in Tipperary. In fact the priests are the most efficient constabulary of the kingdom, and yet the bigots in the Holise of Com mons, to the number of forty-eight, voted last night fur breaking the only link in the chain that binds them to the English Government. Bigotry and folly are always closely allied, but never nearer than when h seriously proposed to withhold the paltry grant made to the liu:nan Catholic College of Maynooth. There is very little news in the French Papers received this morning, and that little is entirely confined to the lie g,enoy question, to which the majority of English reach as ore become indifferent. We quote from them what mis - lant:ous gossip they contain.: — A letter from Naples of the Bth says that the squadron of Admiral Hugon was to sail on the 10th or 12th for Palermo. King Ferdinand had been on beard the Ocean (the Admiral's ship). All the vessels of the squadron fired a grand salute of all their guns on the occasion. The Deke de Broglie has arrived at Neuilly, where he waited on Duahess of Orleans. Our rooters will recollect that it was ?he Duke de Broglie who went to Schwerin to receive her Royal Higheess and accompany her to France. The house to which the Duke of Orleans was conveyed after his fall has been purchased by the civil list for 110,000 f. A letter from Brest of the 19th says;:—" The new Maritime Tribunal appointed to decide a second time on the fate of Reivo, vi,rina, and Ripoli, implicated in the affair of the Paella, has jest condemned them to hard labour for life. The first tribunal iiad sentenced them to imprisonment only. The three prisoners had again appealed.— Gazette de Tribunaux. A letter from Constantinople, of the 29th of June says:— " Yesierday the Tut kish steamer, the Reschid, set out for ;yria with troops. It is given out that they are to take the puce of the Albanians, but we know that this is not the case, and that the Porte intends, on the contrary, to increase the number et these irregular troops." The Porte has just adopted a measure respecting the printing offices, which bears the stamp of the spirit of reaction which prevails in the actual policy of the Government. A mem4iran dein was delivered ye,tcrday to the several legations interested in the question. 'Chat delivered to 11. Alavrocordato, the Alinistcr. requires the suppression of several Greek printing-offices. The fslinistrr means to protest against this measure, We hope that 111. de Bourqueuey will not carry his s)stetnatic deference for the Porte so far as to sacrifice to its caprice two French printing-offices, the suspension of which is also demanded, and which, however, have - not given grounds, by any abuse, for the vigorous measure.— Commerce.

Ile antynnices this evening the sale in the Cape of Good Hope of Forty-three Thousand Acres qf Land, and it is the first sale of property iu this healthy climate. Th e hill pastures are all covered with sweet grass, from the base to the summit ; and en the plains there is plenty of succulent herbage, with grass ; and the profit arising from ten theusaml Lbeep (whicii the farm will carry) is beyond calculation. A farniLr with money, or the great caEitatist, will find an opportunityat this sale to employ is ways and means" to extraordinary advantage. A return respouthr, Church Patronage in Scotland, which has been printed by order of the House of Com mons, exhibits in a strong light the blessed effects of the Veto Act. It was moved fur by Mr. Wallace, in order to ascertain the number of Causes arising out of this Act, and now pendin g in the Court of Session. The causes reApectinq patronage amount to twenty-five, and are brought tor th.: Purpose of ascertaining such points as the following. Who has right to the vacant stipend ? T o whom it is to be paid ? Whether the presentee can claim damages aga . inst the Presbytery for keeping him out of the living and whether certain members o! p r „,vt e ry have a right to sit in the General Assembly ? One of the causes is now before the House of Lords, and all the rest may follow; so th at whatever be the result, t h e lawyers at least will profit by th ese in ter•minable disputes, but the true interes ts o f religion will sufir. Independent of these causes there are thirteen., otLrs arising out of a decision of the General Assembly,;] be which the Tainiaters of chapels of ease were admitto& members oi Church courts, ;$9 veral respectable clergy - - men having been deposed by what they consider incom petent authority, have appealed to the Court of Session against the judgments, and arc resolved, if necessary. to carry the appeals to the House of Lords. The number of ministers and elders thin implicated in these suits cannot be less than two hundred, and the number of patrons and heritors must be considerably more. The public, therefore, may judge whether this Veto Act is what its authors describe it--" a healing measure." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The official accounts from the outports of the clearances of goods on the first day of the operation of the tariff, are more than proportionably great to London. The quantity of articles f every day consumption has been large, and among them several parcels of foreign produce, which under the old system had been virtually prohibited. This remark applies particularly to Coffee, of 'which some extensive entries for that of South American growth appear. Although this description, from its delicate flavour, will not answer to use by itself, yet e hen mixed with other descriptions, this very delicacy will Trove it, thus affording a superior sort at a much lower price. The market here has already received an impetus thereby, and much briskness, both at public auction and by private sa'e, has to be noticed. The Tea trade, and especially the country dealers, are com plaining very much of the manner adopted by some merchants in forcing their stock forward. Sales consisting of nearly 50,000 packages terminated only on Tuesday, and to-morrow others, containing nearly 25,000, will commence. The consequence of this is, that a sort of monopoly in the • article is given to some of the large houses here, it being utterly impossible, in the time, for the generality of the buyers to examine the various samples properly, or for the distant ones either to reach the metropolis, or receive the result of the tasting' and transmit orders. In the sales just concluded some of the catalogues were not delivered until days had elapsed from the beginning, and it is considered that some approach to periodical sales should be made, with a proper interval between the commencement of the show and the sale. In the English Market a sale in Reduced Three per Cents. for the savings banks, by the Government broker, caused the market to decline from 9l to 90i, the latter price at which the Stock was sold ; since that they have been down at 91 7 } Con sols, and the whole of the markets are rather on the decline from the repeated sales of money stock. In the Foreign Market Mexican is flat, and several sales have been effected in Colombian; the market opened at 21i, and declined to 20 . 4 a. Spanish likewise en the decline.

As the princely property of this noble mansion is within the next fortnight to be submitted to the lismintr, some account of its valuable contents may not be unin teresting to the public, especially as upon an examina tion of the catalogue now published by Mr. George Robins, we discover an infinity of works otlart of the highest class, and therefore recommend a visit to Shug borough Hall at this lovely, though somewhat dull sea son, believing it will amply repay the connoisseur for the trouble of the journey. The hall has long been the abode of the Anson family. It is seated in a rich fertile valley, and was always re nowned for its hospitality. The Noble Earl, for several years, whilst he hunted the county, afforded accommo dation to an endless number of guests, and the sleeping apartments of Shugborough Hall, which appear inter minable, were then in great requisition. The reception rooms are extremely spacious, and arc adorned with some of the finest works of art in this country, the galleries and corridors containing a matchless collection of antique statues and busts, with some of modern date. Many of the latter were purchased in Italy by the first Lord Anson, the celebrated Admiral and cir cumnavigator, who spared neither labour nor expense in forming the gallery, which was materially increased during the lifetime of the late Viscount, and aided by the skill and talent of Nollekens, who was frequently a visitor at Shugborough, the present extraordinary as semblage of antique and modern sculpture was brought to its present complete state. It is rarely so many fife size statues of the ancient sculptors are found congre gated together, and no finer specimens can be conceived than those which adorn Shugborough Hull. The most remarkable are Neptune with the Dolphins, the Young Bacchus with a Sat) r, Paris with the Apple, the Venus de Medicis, Mercury, a Roman Youth, and the compa nion, a Female representing Comedy, the Venus Ac croupie, with an endless numer of busts. Several finely sculptured Roman altars and pedestals, whilst the modern statues and busts are by Roubilliar and Nollekens, the latter having worked expressly for his patron ; his chef d'oeuvre of Castor and Pollux is a group of extraordinary power and conception, and will serve as a lasting memo rial of this artist's wondrous talent. We proceed now to particularise some of the princi pal pictures, gems of the highest class of the Italian, ' Dutch, and Flemish schools, believing that few collec tions possess so many originals free from doubt or ques tion. A pair of grand gallery pictures by Guido, of the Angel appearing to St. Peter, and Susannah and the Elders, are incomparable specimens of this splendid mas ter ; also Christ in the Garden attended by Angels, from the pencil of Carlo Maratti, does honour to the Italian school of painting ; a landscape by the side of a river, by Claude Lorraine, presents all the rich glowing effect of this highly-valued' painter ; a mountainous landscape and a woody scene, by G. Poussin, are painted with great freedom ot pencil ; an Italian landscape, by Swanneveldt, is very rich in effect ; an upright moun tainous landscape, with a waterfall in the distance, and travellers going along! a pass, from the joint pencils of Both and Berghem, is a treasure of the highest class ; warm glowing effect pervades the whole scene, and it pre sents a rich combination of the talents of these highly emi nent masters; the Whale Fishery, with bears upon the ice, by Stork, is a fine specimen ; a small clear picture, by Cuyp, is a cabinet gem of the first order, the `.subject a View near I)ordt, with a woman milking a cow on the banks of a river, a distant view of a village with Dutch boats sailing along, forming one of the most charming compositions that can be conceived, with an effect of light that illumines the whole, producing a. scene completely true to nature. Perhaps no collection in the world can boast of so many or such splendid paint ings by William Vandevelde. There is one ot very large size, representing a calm.with men-of-war at anchor, and its companion by L. Backhuysen, a fresh breeze, with numerous vessels and Dutch boats, and a man-of= war at anchor in the offing, may both be pronounced, without fear of contradiction, as the most capital produc tians in existence of these incomparable masters ; also a pair of smaller pictures by William Vandevelde, replete a ith interest and subject, finished in the most powerful and yet clear silvery manner, are pictures of the first quality, with a pair of smaller sized pictures by the same artist, are equally choice speciments. An upright land scape, by Gainsborough, presents a beautiful bit of Eng lish scenery. A landscape, with sheep and a cow, by K. du Jardin, is a fine specimen of this rare and much esteemed master. An upright landscape, with the Chateau of Teniers, is a pleasing picture by D. Teniers. There are, likewise, numberless charming works by mas ters of the highest rank. The extensive library is also entitled to a brief men tion, embracing as it does many must valuable standard books, with a complete series of County Histories, the works of J. B. I'iranesi, and a variety of splendidly illus trated volumes. This portion of the property com mences the sale, and occupies the three first days, being followed by the cellars of wines, w hich fur extent and variety, may challenge competition with any in the county. There are many rare wines, for which the Noble owner was most justly celebrated, particularly- in the variety and excellence of his Clarets and Cham pagnes, which are of the highest character. There are also several bins denominated Cabinet Wine, which it appears are of the supernaculum order, being; exported expressly for Ministers, and will no doubt produce great prices. This portion o f the sale will brine. together the bun virans of Staffordshire, and the surrounding counties. It forms the fourth and fifth days of sale, and includes some rare liqueurs, spirit s , strung ales, &c. The furni ture of the mansion is divided into seven days, and em braces the numerous bed-chambers, the state-bed chamber and dressing-rooms, which were recently fur nished in the most splendid and gorgeous style upon the occasion of a Royal visit. The reception - t o . b of ° re s t s are o f all in good taste, adorned by an infini interest and value, some porcelain and alabaster, which by the catalogue appears to be most excellently arranged and lotted. The railroad-station is within five miles, and, com • municating as it does to all parts of England, the ut most facility for visiting Shughorough Hall, during the view and sale is insured. The private view commences on Monday next, DEPARTURE OF THE MAIL FOR CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.—LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—ShortIy after six o'clock last night the Columbia, Captain Judkins, took her departure from our port, and proceeded with her Majesty's mails and a fair number of passengers for Canada an 4 the United States. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1842. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND 10 Watt OPtittOlt• " Who runs may read." FORZZGN. The Regency question is the' leading feature in the original columns of the Paris journals. Some of them go into it with less reserve than circumstances would seem to warrant, nothing having transpired officially as to the course which the Ministry intends to adopt. It is assumed, however, by some of the Opposition journals, that the Cabinet will endeavour to make of the Regency question a means for strengthening its own position, and, therefore, without reference to the merits of the pro position which may be submitted, these journals at once • declare their determination to prevent, if they can do so by appeals to the public and to the Chambers, the realise- tion of any scheme for the consolidation of power which may be entertained by the 'Ministry. The Constitutionnel says—" The presence of the King of the Belgians has produced a happy impressioon on the mind of his Majesty Louis Philippe. The King con tinues to transact business for several hours a day with his Ministers, and this occupation is an alleviation of his profound grief. Sometimes his Majesty gives way for a moment to a father's emotion, but soon resumes his occu pations. It is this manner acting which has caused a statesman honoured with all his ctrnfidence to exclaim, that the King has a father's heart and a monarch's head. and it is to he presumed that the excellent heslth which he enjoys will postpone for a considerable length of tune the application of a Regency Bill. The Queen's health is also satisfactory." We find the following in a letter from Paris of Mon day's date :—M. Thiers had an interview with the King of the French on the very day of his arrival from the Vichy waters, namely, Sunday last. His conference lasted several hours, and, contrary to the expectation of his friends, M. Thiers had declared in favour of the re gency of the Duke of Nemours, and the guardianship of the Duchess of Orleans, instead of the widowed mother's sole regency. More than this : Thiers has endeavoured to engage M. Odillon Barrot to take the same views, but the latter, whose opinions in favour of the Duchess had been strongly expressed in the Siecle and Courrier Fran cais, has hitherto declined to co-operate with M. Thiers on this question. This may lead to a split between M. Thiers and Odillon Barrot. Popular opinion in Paris is certainly in favour of the Duchess of Orleans, especially in the bourycoisie or epiciers of the revolution, who dis like the i Duke of Nemours because he has uttered sen tences against the three days, and also because he is • more aristocratic than any member of his family. The Presse states that by the treaty the Belgian Go vernment consents to reduce the customs duty on French wines in cask from 2f. per hectolitre to 50c.. and on those in bottle from 12f. to 2f. The excise duty is to he reduced from 33f. per hectolitre to 24f. 75c. per hectolitre. The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following, under the head of Frontiers of Russia, July 2 :—" Two days ago we received accounts that a division of the corps of General Grabbe had been attacked in a forest by the Leghians, who put it to the rout, and then cut it to pieces. The loss of the Russians is stated at 1,500 men and 25 officers. The artillery being in the rear was saved," We learn from Madrid, July 12, that not less than four of the journals of the capital, he Heraldo, Posdata, Corresponsal, and Espectu dor, have suspended their pub lication, owing to the combination of the compositors for a considerable increase of wages, and it was supposed that other journals would also be compelled to adopt the same course. Yermanos, the Archbishop of Therapia, was inau gurated as Patriarch on the 28th ult., and was reminded by the Grand Vizier that he was responsible for the loyalty of ten millions of the Sultan's subjects. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) 1 heir Lordships sat to-day in a Committee of Pr'vileges. The Peers present were—the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftes bury, Lord Kenyon, Lord Sondes, the Earl of Egremont, Lord Redesdale, Lord Skelmersdale, and Viscount f lawarden. THE FITZWALT ER BARAINT. The examination of witnesses on behalf of the claimant to the Barony were resumed today, and proceeded with up to one o'clock, when the further consideration of the claim w.,:s adjourned. PARLIAMENTARY. The Lords did not meet yesterday. Besides presenting petitions, making Reports, and ap pointing Election Committees, which are summarily re corded in our report, the Commons agreed to the Lords' amendments in the Railway Bill. The Copyright of Designs Bill was postponed till Saturday. In reply to Lord Palmerston, Sir Robert Peel stated that the attempt to settle the North-western Boundary dispute between Great Britain and the United States had not yet led to a satisfactory result, and the negotiation respecting the surrender of persons convicted of offences was still pQnding. . In reply to Mr. Barclay, Sir J. Graham said he must postpone till next session the measure relative to the Medical Colleges. He also said that it was not his in tention to bring forward any measure to improve the health of towns. Mr. Gladstone moved the second reading of the Bill for allowing corn to be ground in bond, which the land lords opposed. In the debate which ensued, Mr. Roe buck made use of some strong language, describing cer tain Members as popinjays, and the landed interest as animated by the most mean, pitiful, and personal mo tives, which i' not likely to increase the love between him and the aristocracy. On a division, the second reading was carried by 116 to 19. Mr. Tutfnell, at the request of Sir James Graham, post poned the Buildings Regulations Bill till next session. The Report on the Poor-law was brought up, and, after a short debate and a division on an amendment moved by Mr. Escott, it was received, and the Bill 'ordered to be read a third time. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. T. Duncombe, alter some remarks, postponed his motion, relative to the trial of Mason at Stafford, till the next supply day. The House went, into Committee, and voted several sums of money. The grant to Maynooth was opposed by Pious Plumptree, and a few men of his stamp, but it was carried. The House adjourned at Half-past Two o'Clock. MONEY-TRADE-COMMEILCE. The Magistrates have been endeavouring to reconcile the differences between the colliers and their masters in the Potte ries : the former body came on Tuesday to ultimate resolutions that they would " agree to work nine hours for one day's work, including one hour's cessation for food; for which labour they should receive 4s. per day with burn-coal, and that each master should pay in cash weekly." All the masters, except his. Sparrow, and Mr. Forrester, the agent for Lord Gran ville, are ready to cede to these reasonable terms. In September and October last year, while the people of this country were perishing for want of food, a traveller in the United States asserts that at New Orleans large quantities of flour, pickled pork and beef, which had been brought from the Mississippi valley for the purpose of being sold and exchanged for manufactured goods, were piled on the quay, and became tainted proviiions, owing to want of purchasers. At a meeting of the merchants and bankers in the City, held yesterday, at the London Tavern, to consider the distress of the country, Mr. Ashworth produced a pound of sugar brought over by a workman from New York, for which he paid three pence. He at the same time produced a pound of sugar of similar quality, which he had purchased in Liverpool for eight pence. Exhibiting both, he merely said, "Do you under stand this." ST .1 TISTICS. At Bolton the destitution may be judged of from the circum stance that among a population of 1,( 00 families, consisting of 5,300 persons, there were only 1,553 beds, and only 466 blankets found among them ; being ten and a-half human beings to each blanket, and only two chairs for every three persons. According to the present calculation of trades in France, a Parisian can command any one of 1,587 physicians to attend him, 568 architects ready to build on his plan, 843 wholesale wine-merchants, 746 booksellers, 394 perfumers, 936 tailors, 341 glovers, 336 umbrella-makers, 495 butchers, and 106 bath•. ing establishments, with a crowd of other administrants to his c omfort or luxury. NAVAL arta MILITAILY. The annual inspection of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich tctik place yesterday unier the commend of Colonel Cleveland. Lord Bloomfield, after inspecting the w hole of the men, horses, and appoiniments, complimented the force on their superior cicanliness of person and soldier-like appearance. LAW AND POLICE. The first meeting of the second firm of " Acramans, Mor gan, and Co., the extensive ironmongers," took place yester day at the Commercial-rooms, Bristol, the Commissioners being Messrs. Arthur P?lmer, jun., Joseph Grace Smith, and William Tanner. After several debts had been proved, a question arose as to a proof endeavoured to be established by the Messrs. Lepper, of Belfast, cotton-merchants, who &night to prove upon the estate for three bills, two of 500/. each, and one of 6051. 125., which had been renewed and guaranteed by them. The Court, after duly considering the circumstances involved, decided that they could not admit the plod. At Tullamore, King's County, on the 16th, Walter Wheela ban was convicted of the murder of his wife at Killen, on the 31st of May last. It appeared he had formed an attachment for another woman, and on the unfortunate woman being missed by her relatives, scaich was made, and the body was found in a field near the house, which the husband had ploughed over the day after the murder. lie was ordered for execution. A lengthened investigation took place yesterday at Guildhall. before Sir Peter Laurie, into the affairs of the Westminster Loan and Investment Company.

His will leaves the life-interest of Isis property to his widow, and his neice at Tuscany to become sole heiress after her death. His library is to become the property of M. Rossi, his executor, alter Madame Sismondi's death. A representative of Russia lately said, " England and Russia are like man and wife." It is known that in certain hyperbo rean regions the proof of affection which the weaker vessel re quires is—blows. At a meeting of the merchants and manufacturers in the Town-hall, Manchester, on Monday, the Chairman stated that " the weak might go first ; but before we could see the snows of winter•, at least three-parts of our whole manufactures must come to a stand. 'They were narrowing every week. There was not a manufactory of any description with which machinery was connected, which was not worse and worse every Saturday than the preceding." ORTHOGRAPHIC AL EXERCISES.—At the window of a private house in Union-street, Marylebone, a bill is exhibited, from which the following is copied verbatim The Man gelting removed hear from the Strete round the Cornir Nhrerilpense Duizen.

No case of any importance came before Vice-Chancellors Knight 13ruee or Wigrarn during the whole day. POLICE INTELLIG ENC E. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Nothing of any interest came before the Court this morning. MARLBOROUGH•STREET. (TIIIS DAY.) Samuel Thirrnughs, an intelligent country lad, about 14 pars of age, _Harriet Bunce, a fine grown young woman, about 18, but in a most wretched and filthy state, and Mary Mears, aged 16 years, were charged as follows Christmas, park constable, No. 5, stated that between five and six o'clock this morning he found the prisoners sleeping at the foot of a tree near the Magazine •barracks, Hyde-park ; they were huddled up close together to keep themselves warm, and were actually steaming with the dew that had fallen on them. Witness, in pursuance of the orders which had been given by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, took them into custody. He further stated that there were no less than from 50 to 100 females, from the age of 10 to 60 years, who nightly slept in the Park, and it was the determination of the Comm►ss►oners, in consequence of the numerous complaints that had been made to them by the surrounding inhabitants, who were continually been shocked and annoyed by scenes of the grossest indecency, to put a stop to it. Burroughs said that he was an orphan, and not being able to get any work at his native place in Gloucestershire, he had come up to London about a month ago, and had since been wandering about the streets, living how he could, and sleeping at night in the Park.. The two girls said that they had no relatives or friends, and were utterly destitute. Mr. IlAnnwlcic said the nuisance must be abated, and as a warning to others, he should cominit them all three for a month each to Westminster Britlewell, to hard labour. The Constable said the females had infested the Park for the last five or six months. Caroline Herries, rather a decently-dressed young woman, was brought up by Police Constable 153, of the A division, and charged with a similar offence, and was committed for six teen days. CLERKENWELL,-(THIS DAY.) Thomas and John Farren were charged with violently as saulting police constable 275 N. It appeared that, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the complainant hearing a great noise in a public-house, hastened thither in order to quell the disturbance. He found Thomas Farren somewhat intoxicated and very riotous, he immediately took him into custody. On his way to the station-house, at Thorney-bridge, Islington, he broke from the policeman's gripe, ran behind him, got his head between his legs, and threw the policeman right on the top of his head. He then rushed on the constable before he could recover the effects of the fall, and kicked and beat him in a most violent manner. S 202, fortunately came up and took him into custody. When they reached John-street, Pen tonville, the other prisoner, brother of the former, full on the policeman, and attempted to rescue his brother, but failed in doing so. Mr. GREENWOOD sentenced Thomas to one month's impri sonment and hard labour, and John to one fortnight. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) William Jones, in a coarse canvas dress, was charged with breaking a lamp, value 305., in front of St. George's workhouse. Mr. Robinson, the master, stated that upwards of 200 persons of both sexes app lied for admission to sleep in the workhouse on the preceding night, and all those that could be accommodated were admitted. The defendant was one of those whom they were compelled for want of room to refuse, upon which he took up a stone and deliberately broke the large lamp over the gates. He was then given into custody. The defendant said that he came from Liverpool to look for work or get a ship, but could get neither, and he was starving. —He was committed for 14 days. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) IPSWICH.

FIRE AT TOTTENHAM. Between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, one of the most extensive and calamitous fires which have occurred for many years broke out in the quiet village of.Tottenham, which, before it was subdued, extended to ten houses, while amongst the property destroyed were several valuable horses. The first intimation which was received at the various engine-stations was from the reflection in the atmosphere, and so powerful %sere the flames, that Connorton, of the West of England, was called fur Bar'bican, to which place he directed the engine. Upon arriving there he was told the fire was at Islington. Upon proceeding to Farringdon-street, the Whiteeross-street engines were also going in the same direc tion. An inquiry was then roads at the station-house, Isling ton.green, butin consequence of no correct information being obtained the engines returned, and upon their arrival in Smith field they then ascertained the exact spot. After several hours of constant and unremitting exertions the flames were subdued, but not before a number of houses were destroyed and damaged. The loss of property is estimated at about 1,500/. To the foremen of the West of England and the Brigade the utmost credit is due, as well as to the police, who rendered every aid in their power in stopping the progress of the destructive clement. ------- ALARMING OCCURRENCE. —Yesterday morning the following occurrence took place adjacent to the London and Birmingham Railway terminus; liust,n-square :—lt appears that a gentleman, whose name has not transpired, alighted from his gig in the New-road, to call upon a friend, when the horse, a valuable and high-spirited animal, suddenly started oil at a full gallop, passing along Melton-street into Drummond street, when, while attempting to turn round in the direction of the Hampstead-road, its head came in contact with the iron railing at No. 43, in Drummond-street, and from the violence of the concussion, nearly the whole of the railing gave way, and the horse was at once precipitated into the area below, dragging with it the shafts, which had been detached from the vehicle, and breaking in the whole of the kitchen window, to the infinite. alarm of some females, whose cries for assistance speedily attracted a great crowd of persons eu the spot. Various means were promptly resorted to, with the view of extricating the animal, when by the aid of cords, pulleys, &c., the desired ( , in object was at len g th effe c ted. Neither the hors e no r vehicle cia was injured t o any very cons id e rable extent, nor was any foot passenger hurt, but c u manyENTon Monday gh _of them had a v its s w escape. t journey to , Dover, when opposite to the Red Lion I nn, Shooter's-hill, a heavy crash was heard. The driver_ stopped his horses, and it was then discovered that the springs and body and part of the carriage were broken. The Eagle, it. appears from the state ment of one of the guards, was laden with nearly four tons of bullion on its way to the Continent. For the due security of the property two guards had been directed to accompany it to Dover. There were no pa,senges, the coach having been hired expressly for the better security of the precious fare. A messenger on horseback was immediately dispatched to the Bel! and Crown, Holborn, for another coach, which retarded the journey full three hours. The accident is attributed to the overloading the coach. DEPARTURE OF LORD DE GREY.--Lorcl De Grey has fixed his departure for Sunday next. His Excellency will delay a few days in London, and then proceed to Germany. Whether he is ever to return to Ireland in the capacity of Vice-. roy, must *end on' eircumstatice!;9•Ortding which it, WoUid be prernatgre at present to Rec4late,,Duldin THE ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE. (THIS DAY.) The meeting commenced this day shortly after twelve The CHAIRMAN said the Conference and the country were in a singular position with the Government. They told the Government that the people were starving by thousands—they replied that they knew it. They asked them if they were prepared with a remedy—they answered that they were not. They asked them if they would allow the distressed people to exchange the products of their industry for food—they replied,' No." They asked them if they would take into consideration the means of remedying the distress—the answer was a re fusal. And yet the party who refused to provide a remedy, and were determined to leave the people to starve, shrunk when the term murder seas applied to their conduct. —(Hear.) " You take my house when you do take The prop that troth sustain my house ; You take my lite when you do take The means whereby I live." lie trusted that the Conference would now begin to call things by their right names, undeterred by the effect which the use of such names might produce on the House over the way.--(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then read a letter from Mr. Dee, of Stratford, suggesting measures for the adoption of the Confererxe. He also read the following letters : Warrington, July 19, 1842. I can assure you that we regard with deep interest the pro ceedings of the Conference, believing, as we do, that if its la bours are not successful, the most alarming results may be an ticipated during the coining winter. Hitherto Warrington has happily been in a much better condition than many of the sur rounding districts, but still it has suffered much, and there is every reason to believe that the distress will considerably in crease. The poors'-rates are much higher, poverty abounds, one of our large manufacturers have failed, and the shopkeepers are suffering greatly. It is to be hoped that the Liberal Mem bers of the House of Commons will not allow the fear of being designated " factious " to deter them from taking every means in their power to force the Government to do justice to the people. Surely this is not a time for- hesitation or half mea sures when multitudes are starving, tradesmen being ruined, and when the peace of the country is in jeopardy ! The Con ference has done its work nobly. May the best success crown your efforts. Believe me to be, any dear Sir, very sincerely yours, PETER RYLANDS. George Thompson, Esq. Beaminster, July 20, 1842. Dear Sir,—ln my letter to you of the 16th instant, inserted in the Morning Chronicle of the 19th, I am made to say, that " if the manufacturing and the agricultural labourers will join them," &c. I wish it to be distinctly known that I am no physical-force man; if the people are united I believe we can obtain the aboli tion of all monopolies by constitutional means, and 1 consider it will he a great calamity to all classes (and especially to my class, who are entirely dependent on social order), if unfortu nately the lower orders should be driven by the monopolists to the last extremity . If yon will cause this to be inserted in the Morning Chron i cle I should feel much obliged. I am, Sir, yours faithfully, To P. A. Taylor, Esq. JOSEPH TITE. Beaminster, July 20, 1842. P. S. Since writing to you last we have had two fires in this neighbourhood—fine at Allington, near Bridport, which de stroyed eleven houses and a stable, and this morn►ng a long range of buildings belonging to Miss Donning, of this place, was destroyed. No doubt but both was the work of incen diaries, and we were sorry to see the indifference manifested by the lower class. All the property was insured in the Sun Fire Office. The following circular was read in corroboration of the statement : A Circular has been issued to its agents in the country by an Insurance Office, stating— ]. That it bad lately lost by agricultural insurances. 2. That it feared increased losses by such insurances. • 3. Attributes this to incendiary fires and danger from the disaffection of the people. 4. It urges its agents to take as little business as possible on agricultural produce, and to be careful in inquiry into the cha. reeler of any one wishing to make agricultural insurances. Whether the person holds an office or any position unpopular with the people. Whether he be a harsh and cruel master, &c. TO P. H. HOWARD, ESQ., M.P. FOR CARLISLE. Anti-Corn-law Association, Carlisle, July 18, 1842. At a meeting of the members of this association, called by circular, this evening, Blr Sheffield in the chair, it was unani mously resolved : 1. ''hat the thanks of this Association are due to the Anti- Corn-law Conference, for calling the attention of the Carlisle constituency of P. H. Howard, Esq., during the recent debate on Mr. Villiers's motion, for an inquiry with a view to the repeal of the present Corn-laws. 2. That the Members of this Association being firmly per suaded that the entire repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws can alone afford that adequate relief the depressed state of trade and the miseries of the labouring population imperiously demand, pledge themselves not to vote for, or support, any candidate who is not prepared to support an entire repeal of these unjust laws, and further pledge themselves not to relax in their endea vours until theirjust and righteous object be accomplished. 3. That this meeting, participating in the alarm generally felt in the manufacturing districts, for the peace of the country, should the present Parliament separate before providing effec tual means of relief, earnestly intreat our representatives, P. H. Howard, Esq., and William Marshall, Esq., net to desert their posts at this ;present awful and alarming crisis, and to offer every possible opposision to the taxation of a prostrate people, for the purposes of a bread-taxing aristocracy, by argument and other constitutional impediments, that the wheels of Go vernment may be arrested through the rejection or prevention of all votes of supply. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to our represen tatives, and to the Conference in London. b. That Mr. J. Carrick be appointed a Deputy to the Con forence now sitting in London. (Signed on behalf of the Association) THOMAS SHEFFIELD, Chairman. To P. A. Taylor, Esq. Anti-Corn-law Association, Carlisle, July 19, 1842. Dear Sir,—A general meeting of the members of this Asso ciation took place last evening in the Town-hall. Only one feeling pervaded the meeting, that was disgust at the conduct of ass unfeeling Legislature, who denies to starving thousands the right of feeding themselves. Several resolutions were passed, of which we send you a copy. Mr. Carrick may be expected on Friday. Respectfully, J. D. CANN. P. A. Taylor, Esq. E. HARRIS. Finsbury, St. Luke's, July 21, 1842. TO P. A. TAYLOR, ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE. The enclosed rate of wages, and price of previsions were sent me, in a letter dated the 20th of June last, by my brother-in law, Mr. Isaac Becher, of Stark county, Ohio. The calcula tions I have made, arising out of the facts it contains, will at once, I am sure, show the propriety of a free and unrestrieted trade with the United States, and the absolute necessity of a repeal of our Corn and Provision-laws. The people of Ohio are anxiously desirous of exchanging their provisions for our hardware, cutlery, broadcloths, &c. &c. Mr. B. reports the prospect of an abundant harvest all over the Western States. I am, with great respect, yours, respectfully, ALEX. ILNFBEW SHAW.

He had had many opportunities of mixing with the people, and he could state, from his own knowledge, that employment was ra pidly diminishing, and the condition of the people continually becoming worse. If nothing were dune to alleviate the distresses of the people, the most dire consequences might be expected in the ensuing winter. He could not neglect to raise his voice in behalf of his suffering townsmen. The following statement in reference to the relief of the poor, afforded some evidence of the increasing distress :—" Paid poor in 1839, 470/. 7s. 10d., 105 families ; paid poor in 1840, 5541. 9s. 11d., 177 families; paid poor in 1841, 883/. 65., 264 families." Mr. MoottE asked of Mr. Crabtree if he could state whether there was any actual decrease in the business done by the shopkeepers ? Mr. CRABTREE said, that from his own experience, he should say that not half the business was done now which had been done in former years. his own trade was that of a grocer, and he would state to the meeting that he now sold his goods in the very smallest quantities—mucli smaller than at any former period. Families which formerly purchased thirty pounds of meal at a time, now came to him for a single pound, he had frequently seen a pennyworth of bread cut into seven or eight pieces for the famishing children. The CHAIRMAN then read a circular issued by the County Fire-office, to prove that the Sun-office was not singular in the course which it had adopted. The Board of Directors of that Company were alarmed at the - pre sent state of the country. Mr. MooaE said that some offices had declined to in sure cotton-mills altogether, and others had raised the rye of insurance, tile meeting, had not concluded when we went to press.)

The Polish Nobles cf the G r 5ll Duchy of Posen gave a ball of the most splendid description his Majesty, with every demonstration of loyalty.

Being, however, on his journey to the d Court of Russia, he was very guarded in his expressions , an confined himself to commonplace phrases.

In the panic every one rushed to'the doors, struggling with such violence to get out, that numbers were severely injured, and left senseless on the ground. This was the effect proposed by those who created the confusion, viz., a band of thieves, believed to have come from Leghorn, who tool: advantage of it to commit an immense number of robberies, and mhe not only drew the rings from the fingers of those whom they attacked, but brutally tore out the earrings from the ears of the female part of tin congregation. The thieves made their escape with a. valuable booty. A letter from Geneva, 14th inst., says :—Our new Government, though scarcely constituted, has already been involved in difficulties. The Municipal Council of the Commune of Versoix, formerly French, having decided to sell by auction the ground of tlit old church, and of the cemetery belonging thereto, and having received the authorization of the Council of State, a band of fanatics assembled, and inspired the buyers, with such terrors, that the sale did not take place. This scene of disorder, which took place six days ago, remains unpunished, although the principal author is well known. The Government, being resolved that the law shall be enforced, is to send a strong detachment of gendarmerie to the municipal authorities of Versoix on the day on which the ground is to be put up for sale.
