Cbg TALUPE, there had been gross and corrupt bribery; then baying been spent, in a constituency of 850, on the part of Mr. ELPHINSTONE and Mr. lIARFORD 5,0001, and on that of Mr. FITZROY and Lord CANTALUPE 2,0001. In the case of Reading a corrupt compromise was ad- witted by Mr. RUSSELL and Lord CHELSEA, at a risk to them of 2,000/. The constituency of Reading is only 1,050, and notwithstanding the unwillingness of the witnesses to afford any information, the Committee found that nearly 8,0001. had been spent in corrupt practices at the last election. As regards the borough of Penryn and Falmouth, a corrupt com- promise, bribery, and other corrupt practices, were proved against all the candidates, with the exception of Captain PLUMRIDGE. The whole sums so expended were 4,0001. a-side, making 8,0002 for that inconsiderable constituency. The refusal of Mr. COCHRANE and his agents to give any information as to the system of bribery carried on by them at Bridport, leaves the evidence necessarily imperfect relative to that borough. Nevertheless the Committee expresses a con viction that he was guilty of bribery to an extent fully equal to that of the other candidates. We go farther. We are persuaded that he spent more in bribery than Mr. WAacuaTox and Mr. MITCHELL both together. Mr. WARBURTON spent 2,166/. and Mr. MITCHELL 3,7300% at the last election. Such is the substance of a Report which has at tracted more attention, and encountered more opposition, than any appointed by the Legislature since the passing of the Reform Bill. We have not yet had time to do more than glance at the evidence ; but from the little which we have read, we have been struck with the great discretion and ability with which Mr. ROEBUCK per formed a task as delicate as it was difficult. He seems to have fully appreciated the responsibility which devolved • upon :him, and to have suffered neither taunts nor menaces to divert him for an instant from the even tenour of his passionless course. Of the corrupt prac tices thus laid bare we shall take an early opportunity of speaking in terms more commensurate with our im- pressiou of their atrocity. The only news of any importance in the French and Spanish Journals, received this morning, will be found in our Foreign Summary. We subjoin a few additional items : The Spanish Senate, in its last sitting on the 14th, voted the Budget. The i%larquis de Julies proposed in the same sit ting to restore the dotation of the Queen-mother, Maria Chris tina, which was suspended in consequence of the events in October. This motion was rejected by a majority of 40 to 17. The Captain-General, and the political chief of Madrid, left the capital on the 15th, to go to Guadalaxara, to meet the eldest son of the infant Don Francisco. The journals of Barcelona are of the 15th. General Zurbano had left that city and gone to Gerona. TURIN, Jury 16.—( From a Letter. )—" The King and the whole Court returning from Genoa are gone to the Royal Palate ;of Rumigni for the summer. It was hoped that on this occasion, Charles Albert would have extended the amnesty, granted to the persons impli cated in the revolution of 1821, to all the individuals con demned for political offences in I ts 33-4 ; but hitherto partial favours oniy have been granted to some Genose condemned in these latter years. Among others are the Marquis de Ravesedo, who has obtained complete amnesty and liberty to return to his native country. Doctor Orsini. who oas confined in the Fort of Fenestrelles, and has just been set at liberty ; Marquis Cattaneo, who has obtained p erm i ss i on to return to Genoa for two months, it is hoped that he will be permitted to stay there I permanently; and M. Noti, who has obtained permission to finish, at Genoa, the five years' confinement which he had still to pass at Fenestrelles. /leaven grant that these measures may be extended to all other persons condemned for political offences who are still in exile or in the public prisons." A letter from Nantes of the 16th July, addressed to the Journal La France, says:_" Our city continues to feel the consequence of the treaty in the right of search. The English ships take freight on lower terms, and with more secu rity in cur port than the ships belonging to the town. Accord ingly several merchants prefer shipping their goods under the English flag. Such a state of things deserves the most serious attention of the new Chamber, especially as it affects the most valuable interest of our citizens.— Commerce. BOURSE—PARIS, TITURSDAY, JULY 21.

Morning 3l minutes after 21 Evening 47 minutes after 2, §3ln, *Etonlilaition SUN OFFICE Three o'Cloch. The Report of Mr. ROEBUCK'S Bribery and Cor ruption Committee, laid some days ago upon the table of the House of Commons, has been printed and circulated. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman has well redemed the pledges which he made to the House when moving for that Committee ; and the temperate and dispassionate tone in which the Report is drawn up, proves that its management could not have been entrusted to any gentleman less capable of wresting a great principle to personal, factious, or party purposes. No attempt is made in the Re port to prejudice the House or the country, against individuals, however deeply involved in corrupt practices. All that is sought is to expose a system of corruption which is overspreading the country, and which, unless checked, must terminate in the destruction of all public virtue. The Press, however, is not called upon to be equally tolerant with Mr. ROEBUCK of the crimes of men, compared with whom the miserable receivers of bribes are the most venial of offenders. The Committee commenced its inquiries with Harwich, for which Mr. J. ATTWOOD and Major BERESFORD were the returned Members, and Mr. BAGSHAW and Sir DENIS LE MARCHANT the rejected candidates. There there had been a corrupt compromise at a risk to Mr. ATT WOOD of 2,500 i. Independently of this sum, Mr. Arrwoou and Major BERESFORD expended the enor mous sum of 6,8001. at the election ; the greater part of which Was distributed in bribes. No less than 3,000/. was divided among 33 voters directly in bribes. Sir OEMs LE MARCHANT spent 1,500/. in bribery, and Mr. BAGSHAW 5001. Thus no less a sum than 9,3001. was spent in bribery by the Tory Members for Harwich. The Committee, having investigated the extent of bribery at Harwich, proceeded to Nottingham. Here the successful candidates were the Whig-Radical Sir J. C.II6BHOUSE, once a branch in Westminster'S golden candlestick with " Old Glory," and Sir G. LARPENT. The return having been petitioned against, a corrupt compromise was entered into with Mr. WALTER, one of the rejected candidates, at an expense to HOBHOUSE of 1,0001., and a risk of 4,000/. provided the conditions of it were violated.. The returned Members, HonHousE and LARPENT,' expended 12,000/. in bribery and other cor rupt practices, and WALTER and CHARLTON, Who op posed them, from 4,0001. to 5,0001. The Committee ac count for the smallness of the amount spent in bribery on the part of the Conservative candidates, by stating that the poll was not taken. In the case of Lewes, for which Mr. HARFORD and ELPHINSTONE were returned, the Committee found, that they being petitioned against, a corrupt compro mise was. entered into.. That on their part, and the; of: the rejected candidates, Mr. Fmßoy and Lord CAN. People should starve, for we have scriptural warrant for it, in the case of Lazarus, who is their apt representative; but what respectable person can endure to think of Dives —the true parsonic type—being subjected to the same plebeian and ungentlemanlike process ? MR. GOULBURN A THIRD TIME.—The strange blunder in the Tobacco Bill, which if allowed to remain would have ruined one-half of the small shopkeepers, has been expunged. A communication on the subject has just been addressed from the Excise-office to Mr. Younger, of Tower -street, who had written to complain of the pro posed regulation. " I am directed," says the writer, "to acquaint you that the sth and 7th clauses of the said Bill have been altered by the omission of the words dealers and retailers.' Many will be astonished how the words ever got there, but the fact is the great majo rity of our rulers are as ignorant of the habits and mode of living of the lower classes as they are of the doings in the moon, and are therefore totally unfit to legislate for them. There could not be abetter proof of this fact than the present instance, except, perhaps, some of the obnoxious clauses in tho Metropolitan Police Act respecting Sunday observance, which have only these effects—they harass licensed victuallers and the public, excite hatred against the Legislature, and prevent persons who might be in clined to attend Divine Service from entering a church, because they will not be religious by compulsion. If the Treasury would engage a number of shopkeepers, opera tives, and Chartists, as occasional advisers, they would find them the cheapest and most useful of all public servants. The income of one Bishop would suffice for the maintenance of the whole. Her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort, accompanied by their relatives the Hereditary Prince and Princess of Saxe Coburg, are expected to leave town this afternoon for Windsor Castle, attended by the Royal suite. The Royal party are expected to leave Buckingham Palace at three o'clock, her Majesty and the Royal circle travel ling by the GI eat Western Railway to Slough. - The Court is expected to return to town for closing the ses sion of Parliament next month.

The only arrival with any late news is the l'eterel, from Rio de Janeiro, dates May 26, but nothing later respecting the insurrection at San Paulo.—Exchange, 274 d. The French-Belgian treaty and the Stade duties have re called attention to a matter which has long injured our com merce, and, if not shortly adjusted, threatens to annihilate one branch of it altogether—namely, the subject of Dutch aggres sions in the Indian Archipelago. Holland being in possession of Java, has for years been endeavouring to obtain a monopoly of trade in that part of the world, to the exclusion of every other nation ; and although a treaty was made long since, by which it was agreed that neither that country nor this should use means for fettering the commerce of the other, yet every means have been used quietly to form agreements with the native chiefs extremely favourable for Dutch, and highly detrimental to British interests. No op portunity occurred of striking a great blow until the separation of Belgium, when, upon the pretext of excluding the manufactures of that country, most vexatious Custom-house regulations were formed, and strictly enforced, by which our trade with Sumatra, and numerous other inde pendent islands, is almost, if not wholly, put a stop to. Con ventions were entered into with the several native provinces, by which they were bound to carry out the above-named rules; among which, and that most loudly complained of, is, that no goods shall be allowed to be landed in their territories unless accompanied by certificate of having passed the ordeal of one of four Javanese Custom-houses, at which a duty is levied far above what had been stipulated to be paid under the treaty before alluded to. Instances have occurred in which goods bonded in defiance of these orders have been confiscated, and the owners had a narrow escape of life, and all in direct contra vention of the understanding between the two Governments. The effect is to shut out our manufactures from aff ports except those in Java, at which the duty there charged amounts almost to a prohibition ; and even were it not so, it is contended that the English have no right to be obliged to enter a port of another nation before proceeding to dispose of its merchandize in free countries. Memorials have been presented, and a correspond ence carried on between our Ambassador and the authorities at the Hague ; but having been conducted in a very shuffling manner by the latter, no result but an evident desire to procras tinate redress has yet been produced. Some time has now elapsed since the correspondence was printed by order of the House of Commons, and the public are completely ignorant of what may have transpired subsequently ; but this much is known, that no relief has been given, and that our export trade has fallen off in consequence. i 1 PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE.

INCOME -TA -.K..—T1.1e editorof* ----- th --- e Worcestershire Chronicle justly complains that three partners in one firm have been appointed Income-tax Commi ss i oners for that town. 1 What adds to the anomaly is, that these gentlemen are exten sively engaged in the leather and glov e - tra d e, and that every glove'-manufacturer may be compelled to disclose the state of his affairs to those who . are so much i n t erested in knowing the amount and nature dins transactions." It is of great impor tance," adds the writer, " that the administration of s o h ateful an impost should be not only impartially exercised, but that it should be exercised without the chance of a suspicion of par tiality. To compass this the Land-tax Commissioners elect seven Tories, three of one business firm, and that firm engaged 1 in the staple manufacture of the city, and seven more o f the same political party to supply vacancies.

The re-construction of the Cabinet was suspended until the Duke of Palmella should make known his final de cision ; that this would be to accept office there was no doubt. The Ministers of Marine and Justice would certainly be superseded, and the latter was to be elected to the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. From want of cordial co-operation with reference to the tariff reductions, to be considered in the supplemental article of the treaty, a correspondent announces posi tively his conviction that the Convention would not be concluded for months to come, and that the mercantile community would not derive any practical benefit from the treaty during the year 1842. 'We have been fur nished with a resume of the Portuguese Commissioners'. labours, from which it would appear that no progress whatever had been made towards a settlement ; the Re port of the Commissioners had been referred by the Go vernment to Baron Tojal for his judgment upon its recommendation. The Baron returned it with a favourable answer to the Government ; and a conference with the Portuguese Pleniponten tiary would immediately follow, fortified by which he would make a proposition to the British Envoy. But this would not further matters very much, and the initia tion of liberality would probably have to be eventually taken by our own Government. The exchange of the ra tifications of the commercial and slave trade treaties would probably take place in about six weeks' time. Both Legislative Chambers were as yet occupied with prepara tory labours. The elections, however, with very rare ex ceptions, had been pronounced valid. The Portuguese army was to be immediately increased by 4,295 men. A. decree had appeared for the immediate and effectual en forcement of a tax of 10 per cent. upon every description of property. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1842. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) IPSWICH. The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock. The cross-examination of the witness Beaumont was conti nued by Air. Austin. No new fact arose out of the cross-exa mination. Robert Pack was next examined, and stated that Mr. Bristoe called upon him on the day of nomination, and asked witness to vote for Lord Desart and Mr. Gladstone. While Mr. Bristoe was there, witness's wife asked him to give witness's son a situation at the election as messenger. Mr. Bristoe said he would, anti put witness's son's name down in a book. On the day of election witness saw Mr. Bristoe in the street, but Mr. Gladstone and Lord Desart were not with him. He told witness that if he would go over to the rooms his son's pay was going on. Witness went to the rooms its the Little Carl ton. Witness asked Bristoe if he could advance his son some money for !his pocket-money eut of his pay. He t o ld w it ness to follow hire into the King's Arms. He did so, and then Mr. Bristoe wrote a note, and gave it to witness's son. They gave it to Mr. Stewart at the Little Carlton. Mr. Stewart read it, and gave witness's son three half-crowns. There was no sti pulation as to the amount witness's son was to receive as mes senger. _ It was here announced that the Speaker Ras at prayers, and the Committee adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The charge of powder with which it was first fired was nslb., and the shell 3301 b. weight. The second charge of powder was 451 b. for the solid ball of 4551 b. weight. The report from this immense gun was not so loud as might have been anticipated from its magni tude, but the effect of the shell and ball was tremendous, scat tering a great body of the earth of the butt to a considei able height, and showing on examination that the propell, d forces had entered the butt to the extent of about 40 feet, a rent of about two inches on the top, where the earth had fallen in after the concussion, distinctly marking that it had been perforated to that extent. Experiments were carried on at the butt on Thursday, with a 32-pounder gun of the usual dimensions for ships of war, but loaded at the breech, on a principle submitted by a Swedish officer. The invention appears to possess some merit, but one or two experienced• officers expressed a doubt as to its being an advantage, as loading from the breech during the heaving of a vessel, or the inclination of the gun at certain times from the same cause, might allow the shot to get too far forward, leaving too great a space betwixt the powder and ball, which cannot occur when the charge is rammed home from the mouth of the gun. It is intended to make further experiments with this gun to give it a fair trial under every circumstance in which its services might be required. Colonel Cockburn, Colonel Lacy, Lieut.-Colonel Dansey, C.B. ; Lieut.-Colonel Dundas, C.B. ; Lieut.-Colonel Chalmer, Captain Grant, and Captain Palliser, of the Royal Artillery ; and Brigadier-Majo r Sandham, of the Royal Engineers, and a number of officers of the service were present to witness the proof of Mehemet Ali's enormous gun. The receipts upon the Great Western Railway during last week amounted to the enormous sum of 20,62;7., caused of course by the agricultural meeting at Bristol. This is the largest amount ever taken upon a railway in one week. Last summer the receipts on the Birmingham line just touched 20,001., a larger return per mile than this on the Great Western —the Birmingham, with its branch to Aylesbury, being 120 mil es i n l ength, and the G reat W es t ern, w i th its tributaries, 181.— R a il way Ti mes. CRlTiorsm.—A rustic being asked his opinion of a picture of three pigs feeding, painted by :Worland, said, " Well they be pure.loike, surely," scratching his head ; " but there he one fault still." When asked what the fault might be, lie re plied, " Why, who ever seed three pigs a Seeding, without one on 'em having his foot in the trough ?" INTERESTING RELIC.—On Thursday morning, a piece of wood, addressed to the Lord Steward of her Majesty's Heusehold, was landed at the Woolwich Dockyard from the Rhadamanthus steam-vessel, and forwarded yesterday as a pre sent to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle. It is said to have formed part of the identical tree on which Alexander Selkirk made his notches to calculate time, and on which his parrot perched during his long solitary res'clence in the island of Juan Fernandez. He was , as is well-known, the hero of De Foe's j interesting tale of Robinson Crusoe. A Berlin letter gives an account of an accident which happened to the Prince Royal of Prussia on his journey to St. Petersburgh. At one of the first stages withinithe Russian territory, the horses ran away. His servant stopped them, but in doing so fell and broke his leg, and was carried to a house in a neighbouring village. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. -(THIS DAY.) THE POLITE MAN.—An odd looking personage, who cer tainly had not the appearance of a Beau Nash, a Beau Brummel, or a Simpson, was placed at the bar charged with being drunk and incapable, in Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The policeman added, that he took off his hat, bowed to every one he met, and was otherwise too polite to ba agreeable. The prisoner, placing his right hand on his heart, and chassez•ing frcrn one end of the bar to the other, bowed to the very ground. " Sir," said he, "though I'm a vulgar looking person, I believe I'm the politest man in the universe, I am, in fact, the essence of politeness. When I meet a person in the street I give him the wall. This is what I do." In illustration of " what he does," the prisoner having placed his hat on his head, re-chassez-ed to the other end of the bar, with his body in a sideling attitude, raised his hat, and again bowed to the ground, uttering in an insinuating tone, " the wall, sir ; the wall, Sir." Mr. TWYFORD .ordered him to be discharged, adding, that no doubt he was not in his right senses. As Tyrrel was assisting the poor fellow from the bar, with rather less ceurksy than a polite person would have shown, " Stop, stop," said he, " you've been very kind, I'll make you a bow, Sir," and again was the hat replayed, again was the chassez repeated, once more was the body in a one-sided atti tude, again vi as the hat delicately raised between finger and thumb, and down ducked the little round, bald head far below the bar; presently it re-appeared, and away chassez-ed the polite little personage out of Court. Down Bow-street we saw him chassez away, and turn the corner into the Strand; where he chassez-ed towe do not know, but we should surmise that the crowded thoroughfare soon put a stop to his singular and rapid progress. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.- Charlotte Bald win, a young &male of prepossessing appearance, was charged with attempting to destroy herself. A policeman stated that at four o'clock that morning, being on duty at Battersea, he saw something floating on the surface of the river; he got on some barges and saw the defendant in the water. Being no swimmer him self, he procured a piece of plank and threw it towards the defendant, who seized it as she was about to sink, and he contrived to rescue her. She was in a state of insensibi lity, and was conveyed to the hospital, where the usual means of resuscitation being resorted to, she recovered. In reply to 111 r. COTTINCISAM, she assigned, as the cause of her having attempted suicide, her mother having made a false accusation against her; that she (defendant) at first purchased three-pennyworth of laudanum, and swallowed it, but that quantity not having the designed effect, she then proceeded to the river and threw herself in. She was discharged. SUMMARY OF NEW AND Putiltr eptuton. " Who runs may read." PA.RLIAP/lENTAUT. In reply to Lord Radnor, Lord Wharncliffe, who seems par ticularly nettled, said there were visible symptoms of improve ment in the country, but he complained of the agitation which prevents the good of Peel's Bills from being developed. Lord Brougham brought in a Bill for the abolition of arrest in execution, which Lord Cottenham said he hoped would not prevent the total abolition of imprisonment for debt. The Lord Chancellor's Law Bills were passed through a Committee. The Marquis of Normanby took an opportunity to praise the Commissioners for inquiring into mines. Their Lordships, after transacting some routine business, adjourned till this day. The House of Commons was informed that Mr. Harris bad not been 'duly elected for Newcastle-under-L3me, and Mr. Colquhoun bad. The latter Hon. Gentlt man, therefore, takes the seat. In reply to Mr. Buller, Sir J. Graham assured him that it was the intention of Government to pass the Law Bills this session which are now in the other House. The Poor-law Bill, after some opposition, was read a third time, and passed. The House was, for the remainder of the evening, occupied with Mr. Gibson's motion to inquire into the public distress, which he made on the Committee of Supply being moved for. We refer elsewhere to this debate. The House sat till a Quarter to Three. MONEY—TIZADE—COMMERCE. The failure of the seal fishery was alluded to in our columns last week : the same ships, to the number of 12, have only brought home 5 whales, while the foreign vessels at the fishery have not captured any. As regards Peterhead, the Greenland fishery will not be prosecuted after this year. At a meeting held at the Three Crowns, Dowgate-hill, yes terday, it was esolved that a society, to, be called fho Lightermen's Protection Society," should be immediately formed, in order to protect that body from the encroachments of others. MEDICAL. Mr. Miller was, on Tuesday, unanimously elected to the chair of Surgery in the University of Edinburgh, in the room of the late Sir Charles Bell. LAW AND POLICE. At the Carlisle Assizes on the 21st, Mary Christopherson, her daughter, an interesting little girl, aged 14, and Mary Blacklock, the servant, were arraigned for the crime of arson. The mother and servant pleaded guilty, when the former was sentenced to be transported for life, and the servant, under consideration that she acted under the influence of her mistress. was committed for 18 months. The little girl was acquitted. The case excited great interest in consequence of the former respectability of the principal offender. At the sante Assizes Matthew Russell was convicted of shoot ing William Irving, with intent to murder him. The prose. cutor and prisoner were well known to each other, and as the former, with about 701. in his possession, was proceeding to his employers to pay the workmen their wages, he was followed by the prisoner into a lonely part of the road, and shot in the back with a pistol loaded with slugs. A struggle took place, when the prosecutor succeeded in obtaining the pistol, but the pri soner escaped, and was afterwards arrested in Scotland. He was sentenced to be transported for life. Mr. Sergeant Adams was yesterday chosen Chairman of the ensuing sessions, at a meeting of the .Middlesex Magistrates, by a majority of 18 over his competitor, Mr. Witham. R. B. 'I homson, warehouseman in Wood-street, who had been for some time partner with Williams, INlottram, and Co., and had subsequently carried on business in the silk trade at Coventry, appeared before the Court of Bankruptcy yesterday on his final examination. The claim of the Union Bank for 1,7001. was contested, but finally admitted, and further exami nation of the bankrupt was fixed for the 23d of August next, the bankrupt not being in a condition to pass, till prepared with certain cash accounts. Wm. Henry Franks, charged with embezzling money to a considerable amount belonging to the East London Burial Society, of which he was treasurer, was ultimately remanded at Lambeth -street yesterday for another week.

At Boston and Liverpool, as also in the neighbouring manufac turing districts, extensive union has been effected between the middle and working classes, and large bodies are beginning to be organised for political objects. Upwards of 20,0001. had been insured upon the life of Dr. Dickenson, the late Bishop of Meath, a few weeks before his death. On Friday last two men, employed in the lead mines of the London Company, at Murton, near Appleby, Westmorland, were shut up in them, owing to the falling of a large portion of the works. They were not released till Monday, when one of the mean was found to have eaten three candles, and the other in a state of great exhaustion from want ot food. Bernard Cavanagh, the fasting man, has at length returned to his father's hou3e, near Swinford, Maya, and on Sunday last made his appearance in the chapel of the town. WORCESTER.—A meeting of the Town Council was held on Wednesday, the 20th of July, 1842, to consider the propriety of appointing Commissioners under the Property -tax, not more than seven nor less than three in number, for this city and borough. Th ere wet e t hi rty - s i x mem b ers present, E. Evans, Esq., Mayor, in the chair. The Mayor explained the object of the meeting, and said, in reference to the Property tax Act the duty of the Council was permissive ; for had it been imperative, so great was the repugnance he felt to assist in carrying out so inquisitorial a law, that he should individually have sought to avoid taking the slightest part in it, by retiring from the chair. With this feeling, he was disinclined to make any movement in the affair; but us the appointment was with the Mayor, Aldermen, and Council, he could not think of de ciding for the whole body, and therefore considered it his duty to call the Council together that he might ascertain their plea sure. After a brief discussion, in which Mr. John Dent ad mitted the tax was inquisitorial, it was moved by Alderman R. Evans. and seconded by Mr. Davis, that this Council do adjourn sine die. The motion was carried unanimously; so that no appointment of Commissioners has been made. —.lfror cester Journal. The church of Notre Dame is full of workmen preparing for the funeral obsequies of the Duke of Orleans. Upon the square in front of the church poles are to be fixed, on which will be large oriflammes trimmed with mourning c ra p e . In f ront of the main entrance there is to be a pavilion, on which the ceffin will be placed on its arrival at the church. The interior will be profusely hung with black drapery covered with silver stars, and two large platforms have already been erected with seats for the MemLeri of the two Chambers. FOREIGN. The Regency question sti:l occupies the attention of the Paris journals, nearly to the exclusion of every other topic. The National, whilst it accuses the Ministers of taking advan tage of the late disaster to strengthen their position,_ declares that it should be most un w illi ng to see t h e i r place taken at the present moment by the opposition party, as the latter would thus arrive at power under such strong advantages, that no hopes could be entertained of obtaining such reforms as the party which the National represents deems indispensable. The Debuts, the ( onstitutionnel, and the Presse, have arti cles of a very opposite tendency on a phase of the Regency question, which it was to have been expected would lead to warm discussion. The point of controversy examined by our Contemporaries is—whether the Regency bill ought to he spe cial or general—whether drawn up to suit the present position of affairs in France, or to be made applicable to all circum stances and all times. The Courrier Francais calls on the Ministry to resign at once, and to desist from placing their personal aggrandisement in the balance with the repose of the country. M. Guizot, the Courrier Francais remarks, may, by staying in power, bring 160 or 180 votes to the Regency question, but by resigning he would disarm the whole opposition. "In periods of national calm," our Contemporary says, " the obstinacy of an unpopu lar Ministry may be tolerated, but at a period like the present, when the question under consideration is to strengthen the Monarchy, by means of a Regency Bill, it is absolutely ne cessary that the Ministry which is about to preside over this difficult work should be in harmony with the wishes of the nation." The King and Queen of the French left the Palace at Neuilly at eleven o'clock on Thursday, but avoided the fatal Chemin de la Revolte, and took the old Neuilly road. Princess Adelaide and Princess Clementine were in the Royal carriage, and the Dukes of Nemours, st'Aumale, and Montpensier in another eat liage. The Queen was dr ea df u lly a ff ec t e d o n see i ng the Pavilion Ilarsan, where the Duke of Orle a ns had resided.' The Ministers and Marshals of France received the King in the Royal salon. At noon the King took his seat on the throne. Baron Pasquier was in his dress of Chancellor. Thiers, Bar ret, Guizot, Mole, some of all parties were present. The officers of the National Guards were very numerous, as also the clergy. A letter from Darmstadt represents all classes of the popu.. lation of that town as being greatly affected by the news of the death of the Duke of Orleans, who, during his visit to Luxem burgh, had gained all hearts by his high acquirements, his fine tact and great affability, particularly by uniformly speaking German when in company with persons of those States. They all sympathise in the grief of the Kiug, Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family of France, as if the deceased Prince had been a German. The King and Queen of Naples quitted their capital on the 7th inst. fur Palermo. Previously to the departure of their Majesties, the King paid a visit to the Prince de Joinville on board the Belle Poule, and took leave of him. His Royal High ness cannot, therefore, have gone to Palermo as has been stated by some of the journals. The Madrid Gazette of the 14th inst. contains the decree naming General Alcala Inspector of Cavalry vice General Rodil, now President of the Council and Minister of War, as also the nomination of Count-Marshal Evansto San Miguel to be Captain-General of the 12th :Military District, vice Alcala. The Madrid periodical press on the 14th continued in the same state from the effect of the printers' strike. The Go vernment has not interfered in the dispute, and it has acted wisely. Senor Marliani has challenged Senor Gonzalez, the ex- Minister for Foreign Affairs, because to the lie eircumstantial of the former he gave the lie direct. General Seoane is to act as second to Gonzales. The continued illness of the Lord Chancellor prevented him from presiding in the House of Lords last night. Lord Campbell is to move, on Monday, that it be a standing order of the Lords that no Member of the Commons be heard as counsel on any Bill pending before Parliament. This is directed against Mr. Roebuck. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met to-day shortly after Twelve o'Clock- The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, took his seat on the Woolsack. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. A Message from the House of Commons brought up the Irish Fisheries Bill, the Poor-law Amendment Continuance Bill, and several private Bills. _ POOR-LAW BILL. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the Poor !ow Commission Continuance Bill was read a first time, and ordercd t o be read a second time on Tuesday next. The Lords to be summoned.

'I he (Jerk of the Crown attended to amend the return for the borough of Newcastle- under-L3 me, pursuant to the order of the House. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD gave notice that he should call the attention of the Home on Monday, on going into Com mittee of Supply, to the distressed state of Ireland. Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that he should postpone the motion of wiaich he had given notice for Monday, of a new writ for Southampton, till Friday next, that the Report sent in by the Committee might be read and considered by Hon. Member!. Lord STANLEY gave notice that he should bring in a Bill, on Monday, for the better government of the v♦estern pro vince! of Australia. DESIGNS COPYRIGHT BILL. On the motion for the Order of the Day being read for going into Committee, Mr. M. PHILIPS said he should oppose the Order of the Day, as it was his intention to oppose the bill to the utmost of his power in every stage. He particularly protested against a Bill of this kind being diteussed on a Satui day, after a week of unexampled Pat liamentary toil and exertion.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. G. W. WOOD expressed his determination of giving the Bill his most zealous suppoft. Mr. M. PHILIPS then moved, there not being forty Mem bers present, that the House be counted. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but Sir James Graham, with about twenty Hon. Members at his back, rushed into the House, amidst cheers and laughter. Mr. M. PHILIPS then moved that the Bill be committed this day three months. The-gallery was again cleared for a division. The House, however, did not divide, the motion having been negatived without a division. The House then resolved itself into Com mittee. Clauses 1 to 4 were agreed to without dissent. The other elause3 were then agreed to. The Bill with amendments, was ordered to be Reported on Monday next. NEWFOUNDLAND BILL. On the Order of the Day being read for the House resolving itself into a Committee on this Bill, Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the Delegates of the House of Assembly of Newfoundland against the Bill. —Ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed with the Votes. On the Order of the Day being again read, Mr. O'CONNELL said he had no desire to offer any factious opposition to the Bill, but having only received the important petition which he had read about ten minutes before he entered the House, he hoped the Noble Lord would allow the Bill to be postponed till that day week. Lord STANLEY said, looking at the peculiar circum stances of the colony, and at the tact that there was at that moment no legal authority in the island under which the duties could be collected, he could not consent to the postponement. The Noble Lord concluded by reading a letter from Sir John Harvey. stating his approval of the measure. Mr. VERNON SMITH thought that the letter of Sir J. Harvey ought to be printed, as also the petition presented by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He suggested that it would meet the convenience of all parties, if the discussion on the subject was postponed to Wednesday next. He understood that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had consented to with draw his motion for the postponement of the Committee for six weeks. Mr. O'CONNELL expressed his willingness to withdraw both the motions of which he had givt n notice on the subject, if the Committee were pcstponed to Wednesday. Mr. ESCOTT said that both the documents ought to be prir.•ed before proceeding further with the measure. Mr. HUME concurred in the opinion of the Hon. Gentle man who had just sat down. Lord STANLEY had no objection to postpone the further consideration of this Bill to Wednesday, provided the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would throw no obstacle in the way of the consideration of the gill on that occasion. Air. O'CONNELL said his object was not to cause any delay to the measure, but he certainly would not promise that the principle of the Bill should not undergo discussion. '1 he Committee was then poaponed to Wednesday next. The Lunacy Bill was read a second time. The Report on the Grand Jury Presentment (Ireland) Bill was received. The Manchester, Birmingham, and Bolton Police Bill was read a third time and passed. The House then adjourned at Half-past Two o'Clock to Monday next. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). WHITECHAPEL MARKET.

THE NIGER EXPEDITION PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY EVENINC.—By the accounts brought from the coast of Africa, by the Termagant, Third Lieutenant Commander Henry F. Seagram, which left Ascension on the 29th May, this expedition had not proceeded up the Niger a second time, in consequence of there not being sufficient water to admit of it, until after the rainy season, which has only now terminated. The Albert was lying at Ascension, but the Sou dan, and Wilberforce, under the command of Captain W. Allen, were off the coast. Captain Allen intended to proceed, as soon as the depth of water will admit of it, up the river as far as the model farm ; but whether he would continue his voyage higher up would entirely depend upon the state of his crew when at that point. The Madagascar, 44, Captain John Foote, was t o b e at Ascension in July. It wilt be recollected that it was against an racer and boai's crew of this ship that the Bordeaux papers made an accusation respecting the boarding the French ship Les Deux Sceurs, in which it was stated that the officer was not in uniform, and not to be distinguished from the men, and that he behaved in a vexatious manner in un necessarily detaining the ship, &c., and that the men took away twenty tureens of preserved meat, and several other ar ticles. The whole of the statement, with the exception that the Deux Scours was hoarded by the boats of the Madagas car, is utterly at variance with the truth. The following may be relied upon as the correct account of the transaction : Upon the Madagascar falling in with the Deux Sceurs the wind was exceedingly light, and as the French ship was at some distance a-head, and was mistaken for a large slaver, four armed boats were despatched from the Madagascar to give chase to and board her. Each of the boats was under the command of an officer in the usual uni form worn when on service, with his sword of, and cap with the gold band round it. There was also a marine officer, like. wise in uniform. Upon boarding the Deux Scours the senior lieutenant in command of the boats requested the French merchant captain would show him his papers, and although the request was made in the most courteous manner, the French captain at once refused. Unon being asked his reason, he stated that he would not show his papers until the British officer had shown him his slave papers. It was necessary for the Lieutenant to return on board the Madagascar to procure them, consequentl there was a delay c ause d b y t h e F rench captain himself. With regard to the charge against the men of taking away twenty tureens of preserved meat, the fact i., that not one of the crew was allowed to go below, and one of the officers merely looked down in the hold to see that all was correct. So far from there having been any relay caused by the officer of the Madagascar, the vessel was allowed to take her own course as soon as the examination was over, but she remained in company with tl.e Madagascar while the sur geon of that ship went on board to attend a passenger or super. cargo, who was ill on board the French ship. This proved that there was every disposition on the part of the officers of the English man.of-war rather to assist than annoy the Captain o the French vessel. The grand assemblage of troops that was to have taken place at the beginning of September, under the title of the Camp d'operations de la Marne, is stated by the Moniteur Parisien to be countermanded, hut the Camps of Saint Omer, and Chalons, will be continued separately. The draperies which are to adorn the catafalque on which the body of the Prince Royal is to be placed in the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and those to cover the car in which it is to be borne in the procession, will be upwards of twelve yards wide. The election of a deputy for the fir. 4 electoral ar rondissement of the department of Vauciuse, in the place of the late Baron de Alontfaucon, is to take place at Avignon, on the 13th of August. A dreadful murder was committed on the evening of the 17th inst. at Alsemberg (Belgium), on the persons of two old unmarried ladies, named Isterdael, one aged t 32, and the other 75. They were literally cut in pieces; the head of one was only hanging on by the skin. The crime took place in their bed-chamber, and the room looked like a slaughter. house. The money they had in the house, amounting to about 100 f., was taken away, but no other article in t he room appeared to have been touched. It is supposed that the perpetrators of the deed entered by one of the upper windows. They remain still undiscovered. On Sunday last, one of the diligences, called Berline-Poste, was descending the bill of Limonest, near Lyons, when the piece of mechanism for locking the wheel having broken, the carriage ran in on the horses, and pushed them violently forward. The postilion, in place of whipping them cn, and doing all he could to bring the carriage safe to the bottom of the hill, jumped down. He was cruelly punished for his imprudence, for the carriage was overturned at the same moment, and crushed him to death in the fall. The passengers received some contusions, but none of any importance. It is rumoured, says the Constitutionnel, that M. Piseatory is about to be raised to the Peerage, and sent as Mi nister Plenipotentiary to Greece. Aglionby, ATuarn, William Berkeley, 1-it h. C.

Mr. Henry de Breucken gave yesterday, in the Commerrtsl Council of Antwerp, the outlines of the new Convention WO Franee. Tt.e following are the bases of it : `• 1. The tariff, anterior to the ordinance of the 26tda di Jap e ' will be re-established on the Belgian frontier ; it cannot befog' inented, even it it should be so on the other frontiers. 2. If the tariff hi the tither frontiers should be ` r eds more mole than one-sixth, a n ai a l ogeus re d uction shall be n attel the tariff applied to the Bel gian f ront i ers, so that there i Day'" ways be a d i ff erence b etween t h e two tariffs in th e p rq p , of 3to 5. This is, theiefore, a system of differential , d 6 " — adopted in favour of Belgium. In return, Belgium con.ents -11,. To reduce the import and excise duties on 'wines; ands duties on silks. 2. It is understood that Belgium will adopt for all; its fray tiers, except those of France, the tariff of the 20th .of ho e ' on thread aod linens. However, the excepiions whit at Pr! sent exist, f o r th e i mportat i on of certain kinds of thr rads 10 . 7, Germany and Russia, shall be retained.
