The offence of the prisoner, even according to the Judge's own showing, was of a very venial cha racter. The Jury, after deliberating - fOr one hour, found the prisoner gifllty, but. strongly re commended him to mercy, and the Judge concur ring, as he said, in the recommendation, hu ma nelY ordered the prisoner tl be sent to the tread-mill for three months. Our readers must be informed that this convict was not a pickpocket, or a thief Or any description, or even a Chartist, as far as we learn from the evidence, but the foreman of a respectable builder, with from eight to eleven men under him, and had been in that situation for the last four years. He had, according to the evidence of his master, five children, and there could not be a more peaceable, discreet man, or a better husband and father; yet a work ing man of this class, the pride of our country, and the main source of our superiority over . other nations, is sentenced to an ignominious pu ' nishmeat, for what the humane Whig Judge, the late Member for Falmouth, calls " resisting Edited by HORACE SMITH, Esq., • Author of " Brambletye House," &C.

If this is the law of the laud, if this is the result of our liberal Constitu tion, then who c3n blame those who require a change ? It is altogether a painful subject, and the more painful when this severe sentence is passed by a man who obtained the office of So licitor-General, and ultimately of Judge, from professing himself to he a friend of the people and a hater of oppression. Every unprejudiced person admits, and Baron ROLFE cannot be ignorant of the fact, that all the dis turbances at Kennington-common were caused by the atrocious, the wanton, and the brutal at tack made by an armed police on a crowd of unoffending men, women, and children. Under such circumstances, a real friend of the people, a lover of justice and mercy, even a true Whig, would have made allowances for the excitement caused by conduct so outrageous and so repug nant to the feelings of Englishmen.

We ask Baron ROLFE if this sen tence will make policemen and Judges more re spected. Mr. D. CROWTHER, the Assistant-Secretary of the Dublin Protestant Operative Association has politely requested us, on behalf of the Cons mittee thereof, to be kind enough to give inser tion to some fifteen printed pages of a theo logical address •of that 'erudite Society to the " Hon: and Rev. GEORGE SPENCER," on the subject of his conversion from the faith of Can terbury to that of the Vatican. We must beg to be excused for declining to comply with'a re quest the reasonableness of which would have been more apparent .had the "Assistant-Secre tary" instructed us to deal with it simply as an .advertisement, for the expense of which funds were provided by the Committee of the Theo logical Operatives of Dublin. Nevertheless, our good-nature is such, that we cannot, with out some notice, throw aside a document so in teresting as this effusion of the Christian charity and apostolic orthodoxy of the Irish Protestant Operatives. What a coptrast does it not form to the doings of the same class of men in Eng land ? While the Protestant operatives of Eng land are quarrelling with their employers for higher wages, and with the landlords for a cheaper loaf, their more erudite Irish brethren - di- • versify the intervals of repose from the labours of the loom, the forge, the turning-lathe, the adze, the hatchet, and the hod, by deciding, with the mandatory authority of an (Ecumenical Council, the merits of the Ho moousian and Homoiousian controversy, and in humbly co-operating with the DEITY in barring the gates of Paradise against the entrance of Papists. There are thousands of sober, reflect ing Christians who, we fear, will be rather scan dalized at the off-hand, slap-dash style in which the orthodox hodmen of the Hibernian capital " pitch the Papists to perdition ;" but that will • only testify to the fearlessness and the zeal of the Irish confessors. Nor does the address of - the Protestant Operatives confine Papacy within the ordinary limits recognised by Englishmen. In the category of reprobates the Operatives in clude the Puseyites and Newmanites, and, worse still—the " shallow Protestant hypocrites" who voted for the Education grant—including Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord STANLEY, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. GLADSTONE, Sir ROBERT H. INGLis, Mr. Sergeant JACKSON, and every Pro testant Member, without exception, in the present Parliament. We must endeavour to gratify any curiosity excited in the minds of our' readers • by quoting a few gems from this address, too rich to require the exercise of any skill in setting. Like the perfec tion of female beauty they will be pronounced, when " unadorned, adorned the most." With that exceszive modesty so characteristic of the nation, and the professions of the members of this theological association, they thus clear the ground for a regular "scrimmage," not only with their Hon. and Rev. Opponent, but with every Member of the Cabinet, and every Protestant supporter of itspolicy in the two Houses of Par liament : If the Roman Catholic Church he a Church of Christ, by which salvation is attainable—if its principles be such as may be innocently taught—if its priests may properly have the cure of soul*, then ought Popery to be established in Ireland—the Irishmen who think so be come Papists, and our Church be pronounced to be a lying synagogue of Satan, fur it has denied all this, yea, protested against it. We loathe and abominate the in-. consistency of tiro shallow Protestant hypocrites—falsely eiNed Protestant—who think one thin; and act another; who support thenational system of Irish education and Maynooth ; who propagate Popery with the national !funds, and pension Popis chaplains in workhouses and gaols—in the army aad navy. The inconsistency of hese wretched halters between two opinions we vlespise, while ire confess that you are honestly, boldly, and laudably consistent, though deeply and deplorably in error. If these questions were to be decided by the greatest Divines of the Church of England, we fear the POPE would have a cheap bargain of the Dublin Operatives; for, assuredly, the great Fathers of the Anglican Church all agree in the opinion that not only salvation is attainable in the Church of Rome, but that the ordination of its priesthood is valid, imparting to them the l:loLv GHOST by the laying on of hands. The Roman Catholics believe in CHRIST, and the 18th of the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church , of England pronounces all accursed • who do not hold such belief salvationable. Nor can we agree with the Operatives, that because the gates of Heaven arc open to virtuous Catholics, therefore the Church of England is to be stigmatized as a " lying synagogue of SATAN." There is nothing in the Scriptures, or the Thirty-nine Articles, to justify the uncharitable belief that the Most Rev. Drs. WHEATLEY and MURRAY may not meet in the mansions of the blessed as well as at the Irish Education Board. " Believe in the Lord JEsus,'' saith the Apostle of the Gentiles, " and thou shalt be saved thou and thy house." He did A. man of the name, of TAYLOR was tri;tl yes not say a word about rival creeds. ter day at the Central Criminal Court, charged In the above extract, the Crown, the Cabinet, with wounding a police constable, and also ob and the two Houses of Parliament, are denounces: strutting him in the execution of duty, du ring as represented by " shallow hypocrites, fal se ly the late disturbances at Kennington.common. called Protestant." Now for the Operatives T he•evidence produced, and the result of the trial, it is 'hardly recessary to say, will cause not attack upon the only regret, but the most violent indignation to Hon• and Rev.

Is the " sister," before whose gate the bronze hero of the "glorious and immortalmemory" displays his truncheon, destined to remain for ever dumb ? Surely the University of Dublin boasts of some names more flimiliar to the Bench of Bishops, and the learned theologians of Oxford and Cambridge, than those of Messrs. PASSLEY and CaowTHEn And yet, with the lively faith of the members of the Protestant Operatives' Association, their zeal can only. to imputed to excess ofcharity ; for they remove all doubt upon this head by the following sufficiently explicit explanation : Indeed . we firmly believe that the Devil is the father of the apostate Roman Church, and we need not remark on the spiritual convequences of belonging to a Church that can be thus spoken of. .%Ve shall imitate the forbearance of the Asso ciation. The consequences of belonging to any of SATAN'S children, are not suggestive of the most agreeable reficctions, inasmuch as the law of primogeniture does not regulate inheritances in the kingdom of darkness. And now that we have strained a point to oblige the Committee of the Dublin Protestant Operatives' Association, may. we claim in return the privilege of offering them a word of friendly advice? We feel confident that we may. From their bungling in the use of the weapons of theological controversy, it strikes us that they arc flu• more expert at handling the trowel, the hand-saw, the shuttle, the scissors, the sledge hammer, the last, the spade, the scythe, and the reaping-hook. Now, we advise them henceforth to fling aside theological controversy, awl to stick to the implements of their daily avocations. The Roman satirist who advised the cobbler not to go beyond his last,. was the cobbler's best friend—inasmuch as he pointed out the way in which he might prevent the world from ever laughing at him. He must be a very diligent operative, indeed, who, in addition to 'minding his ordinary . calling, finds time to examine the principles of his own religious faith, without concerning himself with the squabbles of schoolmen, and the limits of the Divine mercy towards the erring children of men. It is stated in the Leeds Times that there are nearly two thousand persons in prison through out the country, for being concerned in the late riots. The gaols in several districts are so full that they can hold no more, and it is irreverently suggested that some of the parish churches ought to be converted into prisons. The extent of the rising may be surmised from the number of the prisoners, who certainly do not amount to one for every hundred of the operative Turn-outs in the manufacturing districts. Now, when it is re membered that the turn-out of the operatives originated in severer distress, the throwing them into prison, and compelling their wives and chil dren to seek shelter in workhouses, must appear a very strange mode of alleviating their suffer ings. The cost 'of their maintenance in a state of compulsory idleness, will impose an immense burden upon the country. But worse than all is the impression which these prosecutions will make upon the minds of the operatives themselves. Hundreds of those now incarcerated on charges of riot, arising out of the culpable con duct of the Magistracy and Police, were never before an hour in confinement in their lives. They were hard-working, industrious men, whose bread, and that of their children, was earned by the " sweat of their brows." These men will now be compelled to herd with the worst characters ; despairing of justice they will become indifferent to character and honest pursuits ; and at the expiration of their imprison ment they will carry to their homes the vices which flourish in the cell of the felon, and the ward of congregated profligacy and, recklessness. We entreat the Government to weigh these things carefully. It has incurred a higher responsibility than that of pandering to the vin dictive feelings of an irritated local Magistracy, least serviceable when its services are most wanted. We desire to witness increased popular confidence in the justice of the Ministry, and therefore it is that we suggest moderation on the part of the Government. Any undue severity will exalt the objects of prosecution to the rank of martyrs, than which nothing could happen more unfortunate for the Ministry. The hangover Gazette of the 22d instant, con-. tains a Royal Proclamation, signed " ERNEST AUGUSTUS," invoking the blessing of Providence upon the nuptials of the CROWN PRINCE. The sign-manual of the King of HANOVER will be thought, by many Christians, but an indiffereLt passport to the throne of celestial benedictions, and is certainly not calculated to warm and in vigorate the deVotional feelings of his disaffected subjects. The Princess MARY of SAXE ALTEN BURG appears, from . the Proclamation, to merit blessings which, we most sincerely trust, will not be denied her because invoked by a tyrant. " The amiable and elevated qualities of the august bride" (says the proclamation), "and the reciprocal cordial at tachment of the affianced couple, allow us confi dently to hope that the happiness of our beloved son,. which we have so much at heart, is fully secured by this union." We are more Catholic in our hopes. We include the Princess equally with her husband. As Regent, acting for a blind Sovereign, tier's will be a regal state, far from enviable. The KING pro ceeds :—" May Divine Providence bestow upon this union its choiCest blessings. We are assured that our faithful subjects will unite with us in these our fervent wishes and prayers.' If such an assurance be warranted, it wilt be more in consequence of the genuine pig ty of the Hanoverian people than any de voted • attachment to the person or will of the reigning Sovereign. Short as his reign has been it has . proved long enough to estrange front King ERNEST the' affection of the most loyal nation in Europe. To a human being with ordinary powers of reflection, how terrible it must be to think that, with opportunities to make thousands of his fellow-creatures utter his name with prayers and blessings, he has so spent his life as to be an object of general abhorrence or execration—to -be forced, on.the brink of th( gr:tve, to admit the terrible conviction that no man cries " GOD bless tea that the good will rejoice over his grave, and that when his name shall be uttered— " BlessirEr shall hsllow it, Never, Oh never I" COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR SEP • TEMBEIL—Thomas Hood, the able Editor of this popu lar Magazine, in the Number for September, seems de• termined to satisfy , the tastes of all classes of readers. Fur the sportsman, he very seasonably brings forward a capital paper, evidently from a. first-rate shot, called " The First of September ; or, a Day's Partridge Shoot ing." For the tourist, there is an admirable description of an adventure in Persia, by the Hon. C. Stuart Savile, and a clever article, called " The Love of the Country ;" whilst such as continue in " populous city pent," wili find no less satisfaction in making themselves acquaintec with Mr. Poole's graphic continuation of the career oi their thrifty fellow-citizen, " Phineas Quiddy." Tin thousands who arc regarding with the deepest interest the progress of our arrangements with the United States, may obtain a tolerable estimate of the sayings and doing, of cur Transatlantic brethren, by following de foot steps of the " Barnabys in America," under the able auspices of Mrs. Trollupe. The lover of the wild and wonderful,•will obtain ample gratification in the story of " Leah Meriel," by the author of " The Reminiscences of a Medical Student ;" and those of more sober taste are sure of being satisfied with the narrative of the " hector of Rushley," by the author of " Peter Prig pins." As for the Editor himself we know not whether i,.ost to admire his brilliant poem of the .• Elm 'Preto, a Dream in the Woods," or his laughable unpoetic brochure, called " A First Attempt at Rhyme." • The - Cologne Gazette publishes the following im portant intelligence, communicated by its correspondent at Frankfort, under the date of the 21st of August:— "I have this moment learned frima a source worthy of credit a piece of intelligence of great importance to th, commerce of the Rhine, which I -hasten to communicate to you ; a treaty or commerce relative to wines and silks, has lately been concluded between the German Customs Union and Belgium, analogous to that which has been concluded between that country and France." A letter from Alexandria, dated the.26th ult., says: —" Me6met Ali, who is still here, has determined upon sending M. Major, one of the Arabs who have been edu cated in Paris, into Europe, to study the constructicn of steam-engines and other. machinery. M. Major will go first into Germany, although he is not acquainted with the language of th© country." THE QtJEEN'S VISIT. (From the Scotsman.) There is little else talked of in Scotland but the approaching visit of her Majesty. Whatever sedate resolutions people may have formed against any un necessary gaiety, certain it is that they have all vanished, and that everybody looks forward to the occasion as one of great splendour and enjoyment. No Tfficial intelligence of the Royal visit has, we understand, been received by the authorities in this city—a circumstance which has created considerable surprise ; .and we have therefore been' obliged to con tent ourselves with such rumours and scraps of in formation as we have been able to glean from the London and other journals, and from private sources. There is every probability that her Majesty will arrive at Granton early on Wednesday, and that she will come up to the city by the direct road. Her Majesty will be met at the boundary of the Royalty by the Lord Provost and Magistrates, attended by the whole of the Council in their robes, and there presented with the keys of the city. A barrier is at present erecting at the foot of Brandon-street for this purpose. It is expected that she will then proceed by Pitt-street; Dundas-street, and Hanover-street, to Princes -street, and from thence .by the Regent bridge to Holyrood House, and not direct to Dalkeith as first stated. The spectacle of the line of procession from Gran ton to the city will be very brilliant. Various galle ries for spectators are in course of erection at the vacant spaces, and also at the barrier at Brandon-street. On Wednesday night, shortly after eight o'clock, bonfires will be lighted on Arthur Seat and other hills ; but the illumination of the city will not take place till Friday. The inhabitants will thus have more leisure to prepare for it, than amid the holiday excitement occasioned by her Majesty's arrival. The greatest activity prevails in the preparation of devices and transparencies for the occasion. We trust the back of the Old Town, so finely seen from Princes street, will not be forgotten. We understand that the 6th Carabineers, now in Glasgow, will escort the Queen north of the Tay. One squadron goes direct to Perth, another to Dun keld, and a third to Aberfeldy. The Enniskillen Dra goons, from Piershill, will escort her Majesty from Dalkeith to Perth, meet her at Crieff on her return, and come home by Stirling, Falkirk, and Linlithgow. A good many strangers have already arrived in Edinburgh, preparatory to ,the Royal visit; and the hotels, taverns, and private lodging-houses will, no doubt, reap a harvest. Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby arrived at the ... Royal Hotel on Wednesday evening, and set off again on Thursday morning for Drummond Castle, to make preparations for the re ception of her Majesty. We understand they intend returning to Edinburgh next week, to be present at the Drawing-room. Sir George Murray, Master- General of the Ordnance, and family, left the British Hotel (Barry's) on Tuesday morning for Auchtertyre. Sir George returns, we believe, on Tuesday next, to be in attendance on her Majesty on the following day. The Right Hon. Sir. George Clerk, Bart., arrived at Penicuik last week. Apartments have been secured at Douglas's Hotel, St. Andrew's-square, for the Duke 'and Duchess of Roxburghe ; Earl and Countess of Eglinton ; Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell, of Terregles; Sir Thomas and Lady Buchan Hepburn ; the Lord Registrar and Hon. Mr. Dundas ; Sir Thos. Troubridge ; Baboo Dwarkanath Tagore ;- Mr. Mitchell, from Glassel ; Lord William Powlett ; Mr. Gladstone ; the Hon. Craven Berkeley; Lord Bateman ; and the Earl of Errol. At the Royal Hotel, Princes-street, apartments have been secured for the following nobility and gentry :—The Duke and Duchess of Argyle ; the Marquis of Lorne, and Lady Emma Campbell ; the Earl of Cassilis ; Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby and family ;, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence ; Sir Wm. Martins ; Admiral Sir Philip and Lady Henderson Durham • Walter F. Campbell, Esq., of Islay, and lady ; W. Baird, Esq., M.P., and family ; Gartshore Stirling, Esq., of Craigharnets , and lady. (From the Perth 4dvertiser.) The Queen will enter the city by Princes-street, at the end of which, and almost in a direct line with Marshall-place, a triumphal arch is now in progress of erection. At this arch the Royal cavalcade will be received by the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council, and other public bodies, and here it is 'that the ceremony will take place of presenting to her Majesty the keys of .the , city. An address will then be presented to her Majesty on behalf of the Magistrates and Coun cil, as representing the inhabitants, which, we under stand, will be read by one of the city clerks, both of whom will wear Court-dresses, minus the swords. The cortege will then move on, preceded, we believe, by the Magistrates and Council, and other public bodies, until it reaches the eastern extremity of the bridge, where they will take leave-of her Majesty, who will then be heralded to Scone Palace by the Earl of Mansfield and his suite. The Queen will enter the domains of Scone by a new approach near to Quarrymill, on which nume ro-u-TWOrkiden hirve been employed for some time past. The preparations within the Palace for the entertain ' ment of her Majesty and Consort, and of the distin guished individuals who are expected to accompany her, are on a scale of great magnificence, and are sedulously superintended by the Noble Lord himself, who is in Perth once, or oftener, 'every day in con nexion with these arrangements. We understand that the Earl has kindly signified his intention to throw the grounds around his Palace open to the tenantry of the county, so that they may have an op portunity of witnessing her Majesty's arrival; and we have no doubt that very many of them will avail themselves of the privilege thus afforded by the Noble Lord. Her Majesty . , as our readers - are already in formed, will remain at the Palace on Monday night; and next day, after viewing the scenery and grounds around Scone, and, doubtless, paying a visit to the " Prince of Scottish streams," whose broad and clear waters sweep gracefully past the lovely Park, in which the ancient Palace—trodden of old by Scottish Monarchs—is situated, will proceed to Taymouth Castle,. the seat of the Marquis of Breadalbane. (From the Perth Courier.) Words cannot express the transports with which the news of her Majesty's intentions to visit the "Land of the mountain and the flood," was received and welcomed by the villagers of Aberfeldy. Numerous preparations are going on for her Majesty's reception and that of her Illustrious Consort and suite. Triumphal arches are in process of erection. All the houses and cottages in Aberfeldy and Kenmore are undergoing a complete white-washing and other tasteful ornaments. As it is expected that her Ma jesty and the Royal party will in the course of their perambulations visit the romantic " Fall of Moness," in this immediate vicinity, rustic bowers and seats composed of heather have been erected at convenient distances, and the serpentine walks have been cleaned and repaired. At Taymouth the scene is all bustle and hurry, and it is stated that the Noble Marquis himself personally superintends all the prepa rations. The Fort, opposite the Castle, has under gone a complete repair, and there is another battery erected upon the heights of Aucharn, which will give a volley that will make Drummond-hill re-echo the report. As her Majesty will, it is expected, share in a grand boating excursion upon Loch Tay, a number of sailors have arrived from Greenock, who have cleaned, pitched, and painted all Lord Breadalbane's boats. A new pier Las been erected at Aucharn for the Royal party to land at, and explore the hermitage. About 200 Highlanders, are by his Lordship's orders, to be clad in the Campbell tartan, who will serve as his body .guard. A party of 50 or 60 shepherds, dressed completely in the shepherd tartan, are to assist at the great stag hunt which is to take place at the Black Mount. CULTS,—Miss Wilkie, sister to the late Sir David Wilkie, recently paid et C r iSit to her aunt at Pitlessie, pa rish of Cults ; and during her residence there, she called to see the house in which the earliest if not the happiest of her days were spent—the Manse of Cults. She also inspected the medallion likenesses of her father and tnother, executed by Chantrey, and which adorn the in terior of the church. Before leaving the parish she gave 2/. to be expended on the poor ; and promised to pre sent a sand-glass for the use of the church, in place of the one given by her brother, Sir David, which had by 401110 accident been broken. The church of C u lt s has become an object of attraction since - the death of Sir David Wilkie.—Fife Herald. The Journal du Havre, which is opposed to the war:lll6n. , regulations, relates the following anecdote : —" The Christophe Colombo, from Pointe-a-Pitre, en tered our port on Saturday, and was immediately placed apart as unhealthy and pestilentiah . She was placed at tile end of one of the docks, where probably she still re mains, isolated and watched narrowly r so that the passer by. perceiving this hot-bed of contagion from a distance, retires with hurried steps, shuddering at having breathed •he same air, even from afar, for an instant. Now, be it known that, amongst the passengers whom the Christophe Jolornhe took on. hoard at Guadaloupe, and who are all in the same condition as to suspicion of infection, there were five who, in passing Serlingues, got put on shore by i fisherman's boat. Thanks to the facility of communi cations, ono of the disembarked passengers, after having traversed the Avliolo of England, which is not anything the worse for his having done so, has just arrived at liarre, where, at full liberty and mingling with the po pulation, which has no suspicion of the enormous danger of his presence, he quietly attends to his business. As may be well imagined, one of his first cares was to pay a visit to his captain and travelling companions, whom he found gravely going through their quarantine, and of whom ho did not fail, though of course with all the pre eantions insisted upon, to inquire how their health wiis getting on." Lady Louisa Johnstone, relict of Sir F. Johnstone, Bart., and only daughter of the late Dowager Countess Craven, on behalf of her eldest son Sir Fred. John Wil liam Johnstone, Bart., of Wester-hall, an infant of the age of eleven months, has petitioned the Queen, praying that her Majesty will be pleased to declare that the title, honour, and dignity of Marquis of Annandale of right I now belongs to her infant son.—Referred to the Commit- tee of Privileges. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended ,by the Royal Suite, arrived at the terminus of the Great Western Railway at Paddington, at ten minutes before six o'clock yesterday morning, from Slough, by a special train. Her Majesty and his. Royal Highness immedi ately entered an open carriage-and-four and left for Woolwich, escorted by a party of Hussars. The Royal Suite followed in two Royal carriages and four, and in cluded the Duchess of Norfolk, Lady in Waiting ; Hon Matilda Paget, Maid of Honour in Waiting ; Mr. George Edward Anson, Treasurer to Prince Albert ; Major. General Wemyss, Equerry to the Queen ; Colonel Bouverie, Equerry to Prince Albert ; and Sir James Clark, Physician to her Majesty. Tho Earl of Haddington, First Lord of the Admiralty; the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Steward ; the Earl De la Warr, Lord Chamberlain ; the Earl of Jersey, Master of the horse ; and the Earl of Morton, Lord in Waiting , had reviously left town for Woolwich, to receive her Majesty and the Prince On their arrival. The Earl of Mot* is to attend the Queen during her visit to Scotland. The Earl De la 'Warr returned to town after her Ma jesty's embarkation. The Lord Chamberlain of her Majesty's Household arrived at Woolwich on Saturday about two o'clock, and immOdiately after the embarkation of the Duke of Saxe Cobtirg, proceeded with Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence on bog.rd the Royal George yacht, to inspect the furniture of the, state cabins, and the ventilation apparatus fitted up by Dr. Reid. His ibiyal Highness Prince George of Cambridge left his residence in St. James's Palace at nine o'clock yesterday morning, for Germany. Sir Robert Peel was expected to leave his seat, Drayton Manor, yesterday, for Dalkeith, the seat of the Duke of Buccleuch, to hare the honour of meeting her Majesty. The Rev. Mr. O'Melly, Mr. Ogden, and Mr. , H. Mon tague, had interviews with Lord Stanley yesterday, at the olonial-office. - _ _ The Hanoverian Minister transacted business yester day at the Foreign-otfice. Lord Wharneliffe, Lord President of the Council, has left town for Wortley Hall, Yorkshire. The Chancellor of the Exchequer hai left town fur Ryde, Isle of Wight. Despatches from the Governor of Canada, and also from the Governors of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. Des spatches were also received from the Governors of the West India Colonies. LITERATURE. COULSON ON THE BLADDER AND PROS. TATE GLAND. Longman, London, 1842. The circumstance of this work having gone through three large editions is unanswerable evidence in its favour, and relieves us from the necessity of entering into any lengthened criticism upon it ; we shall, there ftore, content ourselves with observing that it is evi dently the result of extensive practical knowledge as regards the difficult and dangerous maladies of which it treats; and is penned in such a lucid and familiar style as must render it intelligible to readers, even of the most ordinary capacity. The author is a profes sional gentleman of long experience, and in his pre sent volume he has given the public the benefit of that experience, particularly as respects lithotomy and lithotrity, to which important branches of surgery he has devoted two of the most curious and interesting chapters of his work. RANKE'S HISTORY OF THE POPES. Part I. Whittaker, London, 1842. For this translation we are indebted to the pen of Mr. Walter Kelly, of Trinity College, Dublin, who has executed a troublesome task with much spirit and elegance. The Part before us contains the first vo lume of the original history, which is well and fa vourably known on the Continent, as one of the ablest and most comprehensive works on the subject of the Popedom that has yet appeared in print. The Part forms, also, one of the numbers of that popular miscellany, "The Library of Modern Authors." • 4 1-fgt, •i:., 1 CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. This favourite; minor house was opened yesterday evening fot•the- first time this season. Very extensive improvements ' had been made during the recess in enlarging the stage, adding new scenery, &c., and from the character of the lessees as successful caterers for the public, we were led to expect a high treat which has been but partly realised. The Seventh Bride, or Spirit of the Weeping Hol low, a new drama by W. D. Pitt, was the introduc tory piece, but we cannot say anything in its praise. This was succeeded by a farce, entitled The Irish man's Dream, or a Night in Frankfort, and a most amusing farce it is. There is a flow of wit through out, sometimes coarse indeed, but ever sparkling, a succession of scenes irresistibly comic, and a denoue ment which, though expected, was ludicrous in the extreme. Mike Blaney, an Irishman, and a sawyer, is trying to better his fortunes at Frankfort, but carrying the cherished characteristics of his " ould " country along with him is overtaken by the " crea ture," and takes a comfortable nap upon the street. The Prince chances to pass in one of his nocturnal rambles and awakes Mike—proposes an exchange of clothes, which is readily assented to, and here com mences the adventures of the night. Mike is taken to the palace, the Prince to the station-house. We cannot follow the hero throughout his brief career as a potentate of the German diet, but strongly recom mend our playgoing friends to patronise Mike Blaney, who was excellently well acted by Mr. Dunn, one of the lessees. The amusements were wound up by an old drama produced some 16 years ago, called Hans of Iceland, full of fighting and blue fire, but other wise "flat, stale, and unprofitable." Mrs. Honey and Miss Daly are expected very shortly, and we make no doubt, that as the season advances, the amusements produced will be of a higher order of talent. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, CITY, MONDAY EVENING. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—Mark-lane was again in a state of con siderable excitement, owing to the continuous fall which occurs in the value of grain. The decline of 4s. per quarter announced in the factors' circulars of this morning, compared with the quotations of last Monday's market, may almost be said to have pro duced a panic, so unsettled is the state of the trade, and those connected with it. The supply of foreign corn continues large, but great caution is exercised by the millers, who being disposed to think that prices must yet go lower, only purchase for their immediate wants. Another failure was spoken of to-day—that of Mr. E. IL Labatt; but his ,debts are not believed to he extensive. Letters from the Havannah state that the capture of a slaver on the shores of the island is an occurrence almost unheard of, although the trade in human flesh has resumed all its activity. Several descents had lately been made on the shore, and within a few days nearly 1,000 Africans have been added to the slave population. There seems to be a complaint that the cruisers designed to suppress the traffic are employed for the conveyance of bullion from the mines of Mexico and South America, for the advantage of the officers. SUN.—The market closed firmly, and towards the end of the afternoon several purchases were made. The last prices of Consols were 93 93i for Money, and 934 fur the Account. Bank Stock 167 169 ; India Stock, 251 252 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 52 premium. Prices of Foreign Securities were generally a shade higher. Belgian, 1011 102 ; Dutch Two. and-a-Half per Cents., 521 521 ' • the Five per Cents., 1024- 1021 ; Da nish, 83 84; and Brazilian, 64 65. _ . Just previou,ly to the close of business some bargains were made in Mexican Bonds, and the quotation ad vanced from 34i to 35 for money, and for the next ac- count. The Share market was dull, with but little doing, though late in the day some transfers were made. Bir mingham. and Gloucester were 41 43; Great Western 544 85k; the Half Shares, soi 61k; South Western, 624 ; ; orth Midland, 57 59 the New Shares, 28 29 ; Eastern Counties, 8r 88 ; Northern and Eastern, 384 39 ex div. ; Blackwell, 8+ 8 1 4 1 ; and Brighton, 324 334 per share. The quotations for the Bonds were—Peruvian, 154164; Colombian 20+ ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 334 34; the Three per Cents., 20 204; Spanish Five per Cents., 2q. 21 ; the Three per Cents., 20 201. This has been settling day in these documents, but it passed off extremely quiet, inasmuch as not five legiti mate bargains have been made since the last account. The rate fur money has been unaltered ; no one now at tempts to offer these Bonds as a security. Last week, as AL Paul, a coach-proprietor in the Avenue of St.. Oucn, at Batignolles, France, was pro ceeding in his cabriolet along the road of the Rev°lte, ho was attacked by two men, who demanded his purse. One of the men stopped the horse, and the other got into the vehicle to attack its owner. He found, how ever, a powerful opponent, and one perfectly cool in the midst of danger, for M. Paul, having succeeded in getting his arm loose, drew out a poniard-knife, with which he cut the string which tied a bull-dog of great strength and courage that he happened to have with him. The moment tie animal was free he rushed on the robber fiercely and bore him to the earth. He then was at tacking the other, when M. Paul drove off, and gave the narriving soon ca me up ca ate alarm to the autho rities at Clichy. T up with his jaws co vered with blood, anh,el dogo the scene of combat, one of the men was found expirin g , (-). his entrails having been torn out by the dog. The other robber was discovered next day concealed in the quarries of Montmartre, bearing numerous marks of the fierce attack of the animal. The Patriote Beige gives the following account of an accident which happened in the carriage of King Leopold, at the moment he was starting for Ardenne : " One of the pistols, which were placed loaded in the holsters, went off ; the ball in its way downwards struck against a spring of the carriage, and, having rebounded to the top, passed through without injuring any one." On Tuesday, no fewer than six bodies of men were found in the Seine, and taken to the Morgue. All of them, except one, were in a state of putrefaction, show ing that they must have been in the water at least eight or ten days. One of them had the hands tied behind the back. The Morgue has been 'crowded:twer since, but we do not learn that any of the deceased have been recognised. STEAM TO NEW YORK.

Since the emancipation of the slaves throughout the British Colonies, great complaints have been made by the planters of the high price of labour, and various plans have been proposed, and some partially adopted, for furnishing the necessary supply. Hitherto, however, no sufficient remedy bas been found, and the consequences are that the price of sugar in this country has been greatly increased, an additional stimulus has been given to the slave trade for the supply of Cuba and Brazil, and a premium thereby given to those countries for competing with our colonists in the European market. A Select Com mittee, appointed last session to inquire into the state of our possessions on the west coast of Africa, directed a considerable portion of their inquiries to the evils complained of, and whether any remedy could be provided by means of emigration from Africa. The Committee consisted of some of the leading Members of the House of Commons, and the representatives of a few of the large sea-ports, and confined their in quiries upon this subject to three points,—namely, whether there are materials for a free emigration from Africa to the West Indies? whether it would be desirable for the African to make . the change ? and whether it could be carried on without the possibility of creating or encouraging a new slave trade ? To all these questions, after mature inquiry, they re turned✓`' answerein - the affirmative. In Sierra Leone alone, it appears, the liberated Africans and their descendants amount to about 50,000, independent of those who may be released from slave ships, or who may hereafter come into the colony for the purpose of emigration. The Committee, therefore, consider that emigration from that quarter, if it were permitted and encouraged, would prove to be considerable. The more important question, however, was whether the change would be desirable for the people themselves ; and in order, as far as possible, to ascertain this point, they referred to various authorities ; among others to Sir C. METCALF, Governor LIGHT, and Mr. BLACKWELL, a Wesleyan mi nister in Trinidad, who are unanimous as to the improved condition of the emancipated negroes. " The thriving condition of the peasantry," says Sir C. METCALFE, "is very striking and gratifying. I do not suppose that any peasantry in the world have so many comforts or so much independence and enjoy ment. Their morals, I understand, are much im proved, and their sobriety is remarkable." Contrast ing, therefore, their condition with that of the liber ated slaves on the coast of Africa, removal to the West Indies would be a great blessing, both as re gards moral and religious instruction and increase of wages. " It would be well," adds the Com mittee, " for the African in every point of, view, to find himself a free labourer in the free British West India Colonies, enjoying there, as he would,higher ad vantages of every kind than have fallen to the lot of the negro race in any other portion of the globe." With proper regulations, they come to the conclusion also, that not the slightest danger exists of creating even a plausible suspicion of a real slave trade. They propose that a free passage should be offered to the Africans settled within the colony, and to the free settler or other native, on the public authorities assuring themselves that the circumstances under which they came were entirely free from all suspicion of fraud or force. We have read this part of the Report with great interest, because it involves considerations of ' vast importance, not only as regards the property of our West Indian settlements, but the moral and physical improvement of a numerous and ill-used race. Were a legitimate system of emigration es tablished, with full liberty to the labourers to return, in a more civilised state, to their native soil, carrying with them increased knowledge of the useful arts, as well as religious knowledge, they would establish what Sir JOHN JEREMY calls " the reflux of the West upon the East," and form the first great step to the civilisation of Africa. The whole of the French Journals of Sunday have reached us. The Moniteur and the Journal des Debats alone publish the Report of the Peers upon the Re gency Bill—that document having been absurdly and unfairly refused to the other papers. It is an able document, drawn up with great care, as if to show that the Peers are fully qualified to act as an inde pendent branch of the Legislature, notwithstanding their being deserted by the Deputies and the KING. The Duke de BROGLIE, the reporter, is unquestionably one of the best read men in the Chamber, M. GUIZOT only excepted. We have not space for the whole of this Report, which is very long.; and we regret this, inasmuch as it is very eloquently written, and abounds in more just obser vations than so ordinary a sukeet would seem capable of eliciting. The following extract from it will show our readers in what way the Peers have dealt with this question The Regency is a temporary roy a lty, w hi c h ta k es t h e placeoft e ru e e n r ny royalty during the minority of the Prince called to the Crown. It i 4 to be established at the mo ment of the accession of that Prince, and to cease on his his majority. Ilow then s h ou ld. this Regency b a attaining established ? Is it to be established on the principle of right, according to a simple and invariable rule ; by a general law which shall govern all affairs which human prudence has to regulate ; or by a special l aw , w hi c h shall nominate on every occasion the person who shall be called to the Regency ? The reply to this question, the first, and perhaps the mosi; important, of all which the proposed law calls forth, should, we consider, be founded on the nature of the Government it is meant to support. _ 11 the Regency be a temporary royalty it should be formed in the image of true royalty. The rules applied to the establishment of the one are equally applicable to the other. By declaring the Regency elective, at the approach of each minority parties would be formed threatening each other in voice and gesture ; and pretenders would arise. The Ministry would be nu longer for citizens the highest point of ambition ; powerful orators, 'generals beloved by their soldiers, would set their regards and hopes on a higher point. The Royal Family would incur the risk of being divided. When the clay of election arrived, what intrigues and cabals would there not happen in the Chambers ? Tht press, the tribune, and public assemblies would become the arena where the best reputations would perish. The Princes of the blood royal, those who would eventually be called to the throne, would have their slightest actions criticised with an unsparing 'hand, and every fault exag gerated to suit the purposes of party. Should the choice fall on him who is not heir-presumptive, what will become of that Prince while waiting for the throne. after having been deposed as Regent ? Some powerful reason must be given for incurring such a risk ; immense advantages must be proposed tq weigh vgainst such im mense dangers. The debate on the Regency Bill commenced and terminated in the Chamber of Peers yesterday (Mon day). Only four Peers addressed the Chamber. The Bill was passed by 163 votes against 14. There will be no occasion for the Deputies to assemble again to deliberate upon the Peers' amendments. Not4th,-,, standing their ill-humour, they have adoptOd itte.l3M4 as seat up to them. The °Meml part of the Moniteur of the 28th contains only the notice of the receipt of a letter from the Queen-. )f Spain, to the notification of the death of the Duke of.. Orleans. The fleet of Admirrl Hugon ' s wan to leave Ajacc!o on the 23d of August. It is said that it will return to.the anchorage at the Hycree Islands, where it will be:as sembled towards the end of the month. EX PRESS FROM PA RIS• PARIS AUGUST 29.
