INDIA AND CI-FINA. The Indian mail, which arrived at Marseilles on Wednesday night, brings, we lament to say, an ac count of the fall of Ghuznee. The place capitulated and surrendered, on condition that. the garrison be safely conducted to Caubul. On the other hand, Colonel Pollock had forced the Khyber pass, and taken possession of the forts commanding it, and would, no doubt, march to the relief of Jellalabad. General Sale, in a sortie from that place, overthrew the insurgents. A rumour prevailed that Alibbar Khan had been badly wounded. General Knott had gained some advantage on the fide of Kandahar, but General England had not yet joined him. It is reported that Sahh Soojah had been poisoned. There is no news from China.

By au extraordinary conveyance from Malta, the Prome theus steam-packet, proceeding to Genoa to embark Lady Can ning for Constantinople, we have accounts from that bland to Cyr evening of tie 18th of May.,.at which date the fleet under Ole gormand of Vice. Admiral sir E. W. C. R. Owen, con stating of the Queen, 110, nag-ship ; Impregnebte, 104 ; Cal cutta, 78 ; Vanguard, SO ; Cambridge, 78 ; and Devastation war-steamer were all ready for sea, .s ilt' four months' provisions; on b Jai-a, and beats all in, but is destination was a profound reset, and it was generally supeosed that, the ships would trzegh anchor immediately. Sir frames Mason in the Howe, veth the Thunderer and Savage in company, were signalised on their hourly expected return from Tripoli. In consequence of the inability of Sir Samuel Roberts to resume the command olt he Calcutta, at any rate for some time to come, being still in a precarious state of health, the Commander-in-Chief has appointed Captain Rich, of the Queen, to the Calcutta, and eiven an acting order as Captain of the Queen to Com mander Henry, of the Di vastatioc, appointing to this latter also, with an acting order, as Commander, his ViagaLieutenant Robinson. Sir Samuel Roberts has not invalided, and will, consequently, continue drawing tuil pay. The Plicenix, war ateatner took her departure with the mails for Corfu end Pa tree on the Lath ; and the Alecto steam-packet, for Gibraltar, with the mails for England, un the 16th insianr, on which day the Vesuvius war-steamer was dispatched to the eastward, report says, for Tripoli ; the inconstant is looked for font Bevrout. Our Malta Correspondent furnishes us with dates from Naples to the Bth of May, Tripoli in Barbary to the lath, Con etantinoele to the 7th, Alexandria to the tith of May, and Bey rout to the 2,7 th of April. iNeee.m.s.—The anticipations of a rupture with Holland and Naples appear to have been premature, and the hastiness of the Neapolitan sovereign to show his 1‘ rakness by recommeoding the mercantile rave to borrow other colours, cannot be ac counted tor. What with the panic of war and the impress ment of all merchant seamen into the navy, to man a squatron destined for the Brazils, to do honour at the nuptials of the Emi.eror with his Sicilian 3lajesty's sister, has so distressed commercial shipping that the owners are dismantling some. Tairou IN BA RBA affairs of this ill-governed Pachalte, neglected as they have been for many years, appear to have at length attracted the attention and notice of the British Goverarnent. Steamers arrive continually from Malta, with despatches for the British Consul, which are answered instantaneously, and this has called forth the anger of his Highness the Pacha Askar Ali. Two important objects, ie is said, the British Government has in view—the abolition of the inhuman traffic in slaves, and the re moval of the obnoxious Pacha. Lately, and immediately at,er the arrival of the Devastation steamer of war from Malta, an appeal, printed in Arabic, was posted up at the Bri tish Consulate, inviting and entreating in the name of her Ma jesty's Government, all those now engaged in the slave-trade to abandon such heartless traffic, as revolting to justice and humanity ; and the whole is wound up by setting forth that such are not the only personal feelings and desire of her Ma jesty the Queen of Great Britain, and her Ministers collee iveiy and individually, but. of the entire nation, and that on a tnture day her Majesty might have occasion to show her good intsentions towialds the people of Tripoli. This document, by express directions of the Pacha, was torn down, and ever since his desire to pick a serious quarrel with the Consul has been incessant. An Arab of the advanced age of sixty has been thrown into prison heavily ironed, and is in jeopardy of losing his head, for no other crime than having been seen conversing with the son of the British Consul. This latter having had she commander of the Locust (who lately materially assisted a Tripoline schooner of war off the rocks), dining with him, sent his dragoman to solicit a permit for the British offi cers to pass the town gates atter the usual closing hour, a permit which has heretofore never been reused to any of the Consuls, whereupon the Pacha spat in the messenger's foes, and heaped upon him the most insulting epithets, which will not bear repeating. Several British subjects signed a de claration, to the effect that such was the excited feeling of the Pacha towards the nation, that they considered their fives in jeopardy; this dozoment was dispatched to the Admiral, at Malta, on the 3d of May. Abdel Gelil, the Arab chief, has been much encouraged by the late visit of the British Consul, and is said to have not only defied, but absolutely threatened to attack the Pacha. Some assert that the Arabs are march ing in a strong force against Misurata, and others go the length of saying that the garrison have already had a skirmish with the people of the desert; that these latter came off vic torious, and were close upon Tripoli ; which, added to a report of the approach of a British naval force, had in some manner intimidated the Pacha, who nevertheless refused to render sa tisfaction to the British Consul for the acts of insolence offered to him and others under his protection. Abdel Geld has solemnly promised to liberate 4,000 slaves, and pass the most rigourouslaws and enactments for the aboli• tion of slavery, immediately his tribes are freed from the yoke they are DOW under by the removal of Askar Ali, and the no mination of an Arab chief to the Government of Tripoli, under the obligation of recognizing the Sultan's supreme sovereignty by a heavy annual tribute. CONSTANTINOPLE. — The divan appears exclusively engaged in deliberations upon finance schemes, which appear to be of difficult decision, inasmuch as the Imperial treasury is nearly in a state of bankruptcy, notwithstanding which, strange to say, the Sultan continues pensioning his favourites. Druse chiefs continue in durance vile, and nothing is yet known as to what is to become of them. Seve ral Illaronite elders have been invited by the Seraskier lllua tapha Pacha to repair to Bevrout, to assist at a general con ference ; but these, having the fate of the Druses so recently before them, have declined the invitation, fearing to be etl . trapped. Albanian troops have arrived from Salonica, and horrible excesses are looked for, from the well-known bloody disposition of this undisciplined band. Mustapha Pacha, desirous of limiting within the narrowest bounds, if not destroying in tots the influence of foreign Powers in Syria, has called upon several of the Consuls to withdraw their protection from several ravas. Colonel Rose, the British Consul, has been attacked outside the town gates, when on horseback, by an Albanian, who presented a pistol to his breast, but which happily missed tire, and the Colonel was indebted to the swiftness of his Arab charger for saving his life. The Turkish authorities pretend they have been unable to trace the delinquent. The plague rages in various parts of Syria, but more particularly at St. Jean d'Acre, Sevi, and Dar el-Kamar, ALEXANDRIA. -- His Highness the Paella arrived from Upper Egypt on the night of the 30th of April, and took up hie residence at the Palace of Ras-el-tin, where, on the day following, amidst the salutes from the batteries and ships of war, he received the European merchants, and, indeed, one might ahnost say the entire population of Alexandria. Learn ing the stagnant state of trade, he immediately set about a movement by selling off 200,000 ardebs of wheat and beans, the former at 66, the latter at 36 piastres, but which prices, being .purchased payable in assignments, or Government bonds, which bear a discount of about 25 per cent., reduces them to .S 3 and 31 piastres respectively. Several ships have been taken tip for Malta at fourteen to fifteen tari freight per saim, which is an advance of from two to three tari upon what has been "lately paid. A Greek house has purchased from 30,000 to 40,000 ardels sesame seed of the pew crop, deliverable by the peasantry in five and six months, at 125 to 130 piastres per ardeb, and the Pacha promises to reduce his pretensions for cotton, for which thus far he has held out for ten dollars the Utast. The Egyptian navy has at length adopted the Sialtaia's uniform, and no doubt the army and marines will do the same before long. Mehemet Ali continues in his deter ,inination of devoting the remainder of his days to benefiting the country. An engineer has received orders for damming - the Nile in a mode to protect ag ainst overflows on the one hind and scarcity on the other. The plague still hovers over the place. A French Company is about establishing itself at Cairo, to undertake the conveyance of passengers through the desert, at prices much under these of Hill and Waghorn. JESUITICAL PLOT HAPPILY DISCOVERED, AT MALTA, AGAINST THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. You will see by the Mediterranean newspaper, of which I send you two copies by this mail, that a Maltese canon, of the name of Annetto Casolani, the 'son of Sir Vincent Casaloni, collector of Tand revenues, and of whose family one is to be found in every public departMent of the island, has been de tected in corresponding with the Papist Peer, Lord Clifford, in a manner ill becoming one who, through the intrigues of his father, was raised to one of the highest dignities of the church, over the heads of hundreds, at the early age of 14 (! !), by the very Government be so unwarrantably and ungratefully abuses. The pretended excitement of the people against the Governor for suspending the Jesuits' preaching is false ; the pretended interference of the Italian refugee is equally false, for whatever may have b eers t h e i r cr i mes aga i nst t h e i r own overeign here at Malta, they are the most inoffensive characters in existence. Attacked as they have been by the beardless canon and Lord Clifford, doubtless some unpleasantness might have been anti cipated, but nothing of the kind has occurred. The Rev. Mr. Clsolani fled this morning, in the French steamer, for the Levant, where it is hoped he will find a wider field to exercise his jesuitical talents, and indeed, but for the high wind which i irerails, it was intended to mark the auspicious event of there being one Casolani leis on the island by a general illumination. tit. Paul, in freeing the island of venemous reptiles, appears to have overlooked some ancestor of this snake in the grass. The British Government are much indebted to Lord Clifford's hating bunglingly published that which was never meant for thumblic eye. MALTA, .4.vir 19.—The Vesuvius steam frigate, which l e ft Malta on the 16th, returned to port yesterday afternoon, hiving been off Tripoli to order back the Howe, 121 k (bearing the flag of. Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Melon, second in com mand), and the Thunderer, 80; both of which have just an chored here. I; aiipears that these ships, which left Malta on the 12th inst., having reached Tripoli, stood off and on for several days, during which frequent communications were kept up between Colonel Warrington, the ennsuron shore, and the Rear-Admiral, by fumigated despatches, through the medium of the Savage brig of war, which vessel, on the arrftal of the Vesuvius, was sent in with orders for the commanders to land and proceed in person to the Consulate ; whereupon, the steamer and liners withdrew before, as it is reported, bringing the Pacha to his senses. Such a proceeding is very impolitic, for if they had no orders to carry their point, they ought not to have been (seer sent. Admiral Sir E. Owen continues in port, with the fleet under his command. Lieut. Bedford has succeeded to the acting flag lieutenancy. THE Qua r,NS PalsoN.—The Bill for consolidating the Queens Bench, the Fleet, ant; libtrshalsea, into one pris-n, came into operation on Tuesday, and will certainly be produc tive of very great alterations in the custotly and treatment of prisoners. The classification of prisoners forms an important feature in thu measure, and which will occasion considerable alterations in the management of the Queen's Prison. The Secretary of State is empowered to make rules for the prison, which are to be laid before Parliament for its approbation. The females are to be separated from the male prisoners, so as to prevent a l l commutiication between them. There - if one clause which will materially diminish scene s of riotous living which have at times occurred within the walls of prisons. The 18th t:ection provides that uo beer, victuals, or other things, shall Le trought into the prison, except sanctioned by the rules to be made, in order to " prevent extravagance and luxury, and en. forcing due order." The Act is now in operation, and the " day rules" which were allowed during the early van of th e probing term hsvo ceased.

LONDON SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1842. INDIAN NEWS. 13y an Extraordinary Express from Paris we learn that the Overland Mail from India arrived at Marseilles on Wednesday night. It brings . no news from China nor did we expect any, as sufficient time has not elapsed for conducting the operations which Plenipotentiary Sir H. POTTINGER designed to carry on against Pekin. We have important, and to some extent distressing in telligence from Affghanistan. The most painful news i s th e surrender of the strong fortress of Ghu znee , where Colonel PALMER commanded, the celebrated storming of which by General KEANE was rewarded with a Peerage and a pension. Compelled by hunger to capitulate, Colonel PALMER agreed to evacuate the town, on a promise for a safe conduct for himself and his men to Caubul. From this circumstance w e may infer that he knew nothing' of the destruction of the army commanded by General ELP/lINSTONE, and the foul murder .of BURNES, and. 2.I4NAcuTEN. Th e mail which brought the first account of the destruction of our troops in Caubul, brought likewise the news that the Affghans had taken the town of Ghuznee, and that Colonel PALMER was shut up with a single Seboy regi ment in the citadel, with provisions for six months. The probability is, that he had not supplies for one third of the time. The snow was then very deep, and the Sepoys, accustomed to the mild climate of Ilindostan, were suffering dreadfully from the cold. That so strong a fortress should have been left in so weak a state of defence, is very discreditable to the British authorities in Affelanistan. This is the sad side of the picture.. Fortunately, the re verse side presents a more cheering appearance. Colonel POLLocK has forced the celebrated Khyber Pass, and fortified all the works commanding it, preparatory to marching to the relief of General Sir R. SALE, at Jells labad. That Gallant Officer not only held his ground, but made a sortie, in which he routed and killed a con siderable body of the enemy. General KNOT, at Can dollar, made frequent sallies upon the insurgents, in shies they invariably had the worst of it. He was in expectation of being joined by General ENGLAND with reinforcements. The possession of the Khyber Pass is some consolation for the loss of Caubul and Ghuznee. It places one or the great gates of the kingdom in our power, to open and shut at our pleasure. We have not yet heard at what sacrifice of Inungn life this advantage was pur chased, but we should suppose it considerable. Rumours were afloat that SITAR SOO,I IR was poisoned, and that the assassin AITITBAR KHAN was severely trotmded. This news, if true, is very importauL SHAH :•SooJAll conic! not die at a more propitious moment, as• re ; ;;ards the interests of tni3 country. His death would rid us of a treacherous ally, in favour of whom the Indian Government entered into engagements totally at variance with every dictate of sound policy. At half the expense of a single campaign in Afghan istan—and Goo knows bow many more cam paigns are before us—we could have purchased the firm friendship of DosT MOHAMMED, whose devotion to Russia was at no time so great as to give way to the influence of a well-timed present. We pre ferred, or rather Lord AUCKLAND preferred, trusting to a fool, not remembering that in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred, where you find a fool you find also a knave. We do not expect the arrival of the India papers before Monday. From China we have no news whatever. A considerable sensation was excited last night in the House of Commons, by l‘fr. FERRAND exhibiting placard which has been profusely circulated in the manufacturing districts, and has excited a much greater sensation there than in the House of Com mons. Our readers will scarcely be surprised at that, when they read the placard, which will be found in our Parliamentary report. It is satisfactory to lmrn from Sir J. GRAHAM, that no outrages have taken place, but we would not hare the Government and the landowners therefore infer that the minds of the people have not been and are not intensely affected. Deep water is still ; the bubbling noisy splashing brook, runs over the surface and conceals no danger from the view. A Correspondent at Birmingham, where also the placard has been posted, says— _ _ Such has been the effect which the exhibition of these placards tended to create in Birmingham, that it appears to have done more towards reconciling the hostile feelings of the Chartists towards the Corn-law Repealers, than anything that has heretofore taken place. Immediately on the receipt of (he posters, I caused one to be exhibited in the immediate neighbourhood of my residence, and such was the interest felt, that 1 was literally besieged by applicants, chiefly Chartists, for clpies of the same ; and the neighbourhood has been crowded, so as to render it impassable. Whilst Arthur O'Neill was lecturing on the subject of the placard to a crowded meeting of " Christian" Chartists, at his church, the friends of O'Connor were equally alive in obtaining numbers of the bills to distribute amongst their friends. So that I think we may venture to hope, by these unexpected con cessions, approving the language and motives of the Corn-law Repealers by their late opponents, the Chartists, that the good, old spirit of union is again taking its wonted place in the h ea r s and affections of the men of the Midland districts—of the heart of England—of Warwickshire—of Birmingham—of the toy shop of Europe, and armoury of the world. I - hail the signal concession of the Chartists of my native town as a good omen of the future. What benefit is to be an ticipated by either party from incessant bickerings and eternal differences about nothing. Such conduct may conduce to the interest of the public swindler and Jew-jobber, but not to the interest of the public tradesman, the enterprising merchant, and the humble mechanic. _ The placard will speak for itself. Whatever danger may come ; however intense may be the feelings of the people—and we have long been well assured that they would neither lay themselves down and die, nor accept that as alms which they demand as a right—we hay the consolation of knowing that we have warned the Government, over and over again, of the terrible perils which unjust legislation is bringing on the empire. Sir ROBERT PEEL has proclaimed in the House of Com mons, that the authority of Parliament is falling into contempt ; and now we have starving multitudes echoing the cry of murder against the Legislature. Is it possible for a body, based in corruption, and openly accused of such foul deeds, to excite any other sentiments than contempt and indignation ? Mind has its own laws as well as matter ; and an apple does not fall to the ground with more certainty than such sentiments arise, when those who claim honour and meek obedience, as the protectors of the people, are convicted of betraying and starving them. We received last night the Hamhurgh Mail, with intelligence from different parts of Germany. The only communication of importance is from Berlin. The King of PRUSSIA,it would appear, since his visit to this coun try, has turned his attention to the great influence of newspapers on the community, and a Conference is to be held in a few days, at which his Majesty will preside, the object of which is to do away with the present la* of censorship, and establish anoth'er on the most liberal principles. The Minister of the Interior has published a circular, addressed to the Chief Presidents of the provinces, enjoining them to send in general accounts of the periodical press, and daily literature. All the Journals which require a license from the Minis try are to be included in this report, which is to state the character and standing of the Journals, their value and usefulness, the number printed, their circulation in the provinces, and their class of readers. Accounts of foreign Journals are to be added, stating the numbers circulated, and among what classes. The plan, on the whole, is good, but some parts of it are highly objection able. A public functionary will make a return of the " value and usefulness" of a Journal according to his own political or religious opinions, and may, therefore, make a very unjust impression as to its real merits. If the same rule were to be applied to the journals of this country, we suspect Sir JAMES GRAHAM would be much puzzled in making use of the return. He would find some discrepancies between the reports of the Lord Mayor of London and the Lord Mayor of Dublin. Many of our English readers know little, and probably care less, about the dissensions which have so long pre railed in the Scotch Church, but as missionaries from one of the sections are to proceed to this part of the I I kingdom, to enlighten the benighted inhabitants, it may be necessary to give the public some insight into the character of these divines. however much they may be distinguished for piety and zeal against Intrusion, and many other qualities which they regard as great virtues of one attribute, that of mercy, they . seem utterly destitute. "By their fruits ye shall know them." We shall therefore state a few facts, in order that those in terested may be able to judge. The dissensions date from the year 1834, when the party that had long formed a minority in the Church gained the ascendant, And they bare held it with a high hand ever since. They paFsed a law which all the civil Courts pronounced illegal, and with a view to enforce that law, they hare gone on,. year after year, deposing from the holy ministry some of the most useful members of the Church. Within the last thirteen mouths only they have deposed some seventeen or eighteen clergymen, under various pretences, but virtually for obedience to the law of the I land. They deposed only one of their own party, but that was for a high offence, a scandalous case, which could not be concealed from the public eye. Some of the cases this year mark in a peculiar degree the spirit which animates these men. One of these is that of Mr. WiLsoN, of Stranraer, now about seventy years of age, who had filled the office for nearly forty years, and was much beloved. The other is the case of Mr. DUGUID, presented to a living by the Duke of RICHMOND, with the approbation of a vast number of parishioners. 4n addition to these penalties, they have suspended from their judicial functions eleven clergymen at once, and threaten to suspend or depose all who refuse obedience to their illegal Veto Act. Con duct like this has all the appearance of madness, and might be regarded with pity, were the consequences to those thrust out of the Church not so afflicting. As a, contrast to this we may add, that till the Non-Intru sionista obtained the majority in the Assembly, the depo sition of a clergyman was a matter of rare occurrence, happening not oftener than once in ten years, and gene rally for itnmorality. The French journals of every shade of opinion, loudly condemn the Chamber of Deputies, for the rejection of the three Railway Bills mentioned in The Sun of yesterday. There is a dearth of news of any interest in the French journals, save what is given in our Fereign Summary. The Rainier steamer arrived at Toulon on the 28th of May from Algiers, which it left on the 25tb, with 350 passenrra, well military as others. It left at Algiers the Is oe, the Euryale, the Etna, the %auto ur , the Fulton, the Clouded", and the Tartarc. On the 23d of May the extedition left Algiers to join the Governor-General at Alilianah, or in the environs, as we have announced. The several corps commenced their movements on the 22d, to proceed to the point of union, which was said to be the map of the Chiffa, between Blidel, Beuffaricfc, and leah. Lieutenant-Colonel Regnault is immuring with a battalion towards the approaches of the Massif, to protect the reapers. It is generally affirmed that the crop of hay will be extremely abundant. The Arabs show themselves at almost every point in the vicinity of the Sahel. They are seen sometimes in bands of 7, 8, 15, or 20; sometimes they are much more numerous; we have counted as many as 300 horsemen. Accordingly, fearing an attack on the side towards the Rassanta, where the military criminals are employed in mowing, Colonel Marengo set out on the 23d with 60 men, to reinforce the battalion already there ; he has taken a piece of artillery with him. — Commerce. • THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAIL MORNING- 1 JUNE 4, 1842.

" Who runs may read." FORMXGN. The Overland Mail from India arrived at Marseilles, on Wednesday night. The garrison of Ghuznce, we deeply re gret to state, had capitulated, on condition of being safely con ducted to Caubul. This is our second serious reverse in Alf gha nistan. As a set-off against this disaster, Colonel Pollock had forced the far.famed Khyber Pass, and taken possession of the forts commanding it. He was preparing to march to the relief of Jellalabad, where the heroic General Sale had made a sortie, and driven off the insurgents, There were rumours that Shah Soojah was poisoned, and the assassin, Akhbar Khan badly wounded. General Knott had gained some advantages at Candahar, where it was daily ex pected that he would be joined by General England. No news from China. The French Chamber of Deputies has rejected, by 206 to 63, the project of law affording the Government aid, by way of loans, to the Strasbourg and Basle, Bordeaux and Teste, and Paris and Versailles (Left Bank) Railroads. The Debata, the Constitutionne/, the Courrier Francais, and the Paris Globe, disapprove of the rejection. On Wednesday afternoon the Chamber of Deputies passed the Rouen and Havre Railroad Bill by 173 against 99. The execution, by the articles, is assigned to C. Laffitte and Co., at their risk and peril, by the prolonging of the Paris and Rotten line to Havre. The State offers a loan of ten millions of francs, payable by tenths, besides a free gift of eight mil lions from the Government. The ordinary mails from Madrid are only to the 26th. On that day the Fete Dieu was celebrated, and the Regent and his staff accompanied the procession. The Queen and the In. fanta, her sister, viewed it from the balcony of the Munici pality House. Captain Vasse, of the Paris, which arrived on Thursday at Havre from Hamburgh, reports that the inhabitants of that city have imposed upon themselves a mourning of six weeks, during which period there are to be no amusements of any kind, and music is entirely interdicted. Workman are actively engaged :n removing the ruins of the houses which_ were destroyed, and wooden barracks are being constructed in different quarters for the accomodation of the houseless. lie states that in one street, that of Holadamm, 127 houses were burnt, and only two escaped, as if by miracle. Bills are paid, and mercantile engagements respected as if the calamity had not occurred. We learn by a letter from Trieste, 21st ult., that the Aus trian Lloyd's Steam Navigation Company, which hitherto only occasionally sent their vessels to Constantinople and .Myria, passing by 'Smyrna, have now established a fixed and regular communicaticn by that line. The Emperor of Austria, taking into consideration the advantages rendered to the public by this company in its different lines of navigation, has granted in its favour a diminution of 20 per cent. on therost-office duties. The Augsburg/4 Gazette announces the undertaking by Russia of a powerful attack on the Circassians. It is to be directed against the districts of Schapsuk and Saduk, the central points of resistance ; whilst on the south another corps will proceed from Gagra of Sutcha against the Abasians. The War Minister, Ceernitachef, will command in person. General Grabbe will command under him. Some hope as little from these active operations as from the blockade of last year. Gutz Beg, whom Bell called the Lion of the Caucasus, is dead. Mansur Beg is the most influential chief in the north. The Abasians obey Hadechi Dokhum Oku. PARLIAMENTARY. The Peers received several petitions , and Lord Beaumont, in presenting one from the Indian Committee of the Colonial Society, praying for the production of.documents to elucidate the origin of the war in Affghanistan, gave a short history of the transaction. Lord Fitzgerald declined to enter into the subject, or to defend the policy of the late Government. For him, it was enough to defend the policy at present pursued. The petition was laid on the table, and their adjourned till Monday. On eßelfast Election Committee in the Com monsnthe Lordships ßepo tt of th being brought up, Mr. O'Connell gave notice that, on Mon day, he would move to suspend the writ for Belfait, and move for a Committee to inquire into the corrupt compromise and the bribery which had taken place. The Report on the Croydon Railway Bill was thrown out by 148 to 88. Sir E. Knatchbull and Lurd Marsham took the lead in opposing the measure. On calling over the Members appointed to compose the Water. ford Election Committee, Viscount Somerton was absent, and was ordered to be taken into custody. The Noble Viscount making his appearance soon afterwards, the Committee was sworn in. The Athlone Election Committee was discharged on account of the ab sence from illness of Sir James Duke, one of its Members. Lord Stanley stated, in reply to Mr. W. 0. Stanley, that he knew nothing of the Bishop of Quebec having refused to allow a tablet :o the memory of a Gallant Officer to be placed in a church, ex cept from common report. The subject is to be renewed on Monday. Mr. Cobden inquired whether the Government had interfered to relieve the distress at Burnley ? Sir J. Graham said assi►tance bad been given from charitable funds. Mr. Ferrand then exhibited the placard which is elsewhere noticed. . _ The House was occupied for the remainder of the evening with a debate on the sugar duties, which were renewed for the year,las proposed by the Ministets, in spite of two opposing motions brought forward by Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Labouchere. The House sat till a Quarter to Two o'Clock. PUBLIC OPINION. In an article on the 'subject of bribery at elections, the Times contains the following remarks We cannot hope for any real check to corrupt practices till the arm of justice is enabled to reach them; and justice is not enabled to reach them till it is enabled to reach them cheaply. It is a mere farce to expect that the crime of bribery will be followed up generally by Parliamentary petition,, as long as these petitions are encumbered by the enormous ex pense and uncertainty which at prevent impede their progress. In many cases the hope of ultimately reconquering a seat in Parliament may had min to spend their thousands in unseating an adversary. 'But this motive is now, it appears, to be de nounced as corrupt ; at least the Kruse of Commons has thought itself bound to arm one of its Members with strange and unprecedented powers, in order to detect and punish those who have been content to take and act upon this view of a Parliamentary petition. In some few cases personal animosity may lead a rice man to undergo all this expense to avenge himself on a successful rival. In some—very few indeed, we are afraid—the same sacrifices •be prompted indignation at rampant and notorious venality. But in all alike some very powerful and unusual stimulus is necessary to urge men through the enormous difficulty, and expense, and trouble, and uncertainty, by which their course is impeded." The Chronicle returns to the subject of the Bishop of Lon. don's defcnceof his Right Rev. Brother of Montreal's sectarian exclusiveness, observing :—" An attempt is made by the Times to strengthen the Bishop of London's defence of the sectarian exclusiveness of the Bishop of Montreal in refusing to allow the erection of monuments in churches to any parties that did not take the sacrament according to Church of England forms. We therefore return to the subject, which, although of limited interest in itself, is yet of great and national importance in the principles involved in its discussion. he regulations in ques tion were, we are told, occasioned by circumstances which had given reasonable offence to members of the Church.' But the persons offended by the exclusion are members of the Church also ; and very reasonably are they offended ; and tn , a much greater extent than the narticular members (i. e. some of the frequenters of some one c'bureh in Canada) could possibly have been by the absence of any such exclusion. Were not the officers who wished to erect the tablet, members of the Church? Are not thousands and millions whom the regulation will ex clude from posthumous honours, members of the Church ? We are all born members of the Church of England, and re main so, unless excommunicated. To take the sacrament is not the rule, but the exception. This may be an inconvenience to the Church in a religious view, but it is the price of being a national Church. A large majority of its own members are therefore injured and insulted by this prohibition. The dis tinction is most arbitrary. Many abstain from the sacrament for fear of partaking unworthily. The principle may be a mis taken one, but it is the mistake of religious humility. And the Bishop's dictum is thst the humble in life shall be dishonoured in death, and by their lowliness of spirit forfeit the well-earned memorials of virtuous character, public services, and eminent achievements." The Post says :—" We, once for all, most emphatically pro claim that we consider an hereditary enmity to Fiance the feel ing the most opposed to the dictates of civilization and Christi anity. Of all nations it would ill become our countrymen—no nation has a more mixed origin. Our highest blood comes from a Norman source, and our Royal dynasty, the object of our warmest affection?, comes from a foreign ►and, and is constantly recruiter) from a foreign stock. It is the glorious constitution of our polity, and, above all, the blessed influence of our reli gion, which makes men wise, noble, and good, in this dear land of ours, which even a negro cannot touch without becom ing a child of freedom. The only men we hate (politically) Are the men'who, like a Palmerston and a Thiers, make the bad passions of men 'minister to their personal designs, and to the gratification. of their vanity or their ambition. We consider that far the most judicious course would be to leave La Jeune France, like a spoilt child, to vent her wayward humours un noticed and in isolation, and avoid the chance of receiving on pardonabk insult." — We take the tollow!Tig from the Herald:—" Mr. Crawford's motion on Monday night was downright nonsense ; it asserted the incapacity of the Legislature to inert ase Lx.tion bteause the House of Commons did not represent the people, and yet proposed that Parliament should at once set about @Mending the suffrage. Now, if the House be incompetent to impose taxes to et:valise revenue and expenditure, by how much more I must it be incompetent to extend the suffrage ? If it be morally incompetent to perform the minor, it must be still more incom petent to enact• the major act. Mr. Crawford complained that the legislation of the House was class-legislation ; if so, it is in the matter of taxation class-legislation very favourable to his adopted clients, the working classes, for it limits increased taxa tion to those who are removed from the necessity of earning their daily bread by their daily labour. The class-financial legislation of Sir Robert Peel's Government proposes to tax the richer sections of the community only. As the Chartists complain of this exceptional legislation, do they demand the extension of the income tax to their wages ? To be consistent with their own principles they should do so. Universal dis tress, urged Mr. Crawterd, is a proof of bad legislation ; admit this assertion—which is, however, in reality a vague fallacy— and what does Mr. Crawford's argument gain thereby ? Uni versal suffrage would not remove universal distress in a country where population presses against the means of subsistence." /1/101\TEIZ--7['UADE—COIVINIMILCM.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The uneasy feeling which was noticed to exist some fort night since, has been revived to-day. Immediateiy before the elope of business, without any particular cause being assigned, the markets all gave way. The state of onr relations with some neighbouring foreign nations are not looked to as being con ducive to speculations for a rise in the funds ; and altheuell no outbreak is expected, still a fear is visible that some serious misunderstanding has, or is likely, to take place. It cannot be concealed that a desire appears to exist among a powerful party on the Continent to encourage a hostile feeling towards this country,end that the party have not only succeeded in this par ticular object, but have also attained a considerable influence. The preparations about to be made by the nation in question have caused some apprehension that the amicable relations, which have been sustained for a long period, may, in conse quence, be shortly interrupted, and hence the ineiisposition shown by the larger capitalists to enter into speculations. The funds were quiet chiring the day, but with a somewhat downward tendency, a large purchase by an influential broker in Three per Cent. Reduced sustained tne Market, and Con. cols closed at 91* 9l # ex dividend; Reduced 91* 911 ; Bank Stock 167* 1684 ; India Stock 250 252 ; Exchequer Bills, Old. 42 44 ; New 37 39 prem.

There have been no foreign turivals to-day. (From The Sun of Last _Night.) The English funds are very flat to-day, with scarcely any ! business; Consols are 914 ex-dividend; Three per Cents. Reduced, 914 014 ; Three-and-half per Cents. Reduced, 100# 1004 ; Ditto, New 1001 ; Bank Stock, 1664 ; India Stock, 250 252 ; India Bonds, 22 24 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 42 44; Advertised, 36 39 prem.

Some few bargains have been made in the Mexican at 3614 for Money, and 364 for the Account. The proclamation issued by the President of Texas announc ing the blockade of the Mexican States, attracts much atten tion. The possibility of enforcing it is very much doubted, but the annoyance and obstruction which it will give to com merce is viewed with much apprehension. The jealousy wiih which the navigation of the Atlantic is felt by the Americans is well known, and every obstacle which could be thrown in its way by that Government has been carried into effect; the prohibitory. regulations relative to the West India steamers, for instance, and it is feared that this opportunity of cr inviting the seas with privateers, under the Texian flag will not be lest. The conduct of our own Govern ment with regard to this document is pretty freely commented upon, and the uncertainty in which our commerce is placed thereb3, severely condemned. Already orders for manufac tured goods, which had been given, have been couutermaneed, and although it is stated that Captain Elliott has left for that country, still the general feeling is, that our South American trade is in a very insecure state. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 2.—The market continues without any change in prices ; a good demand is kept up both by the trade and exporters, and prices may be said to be firmly supported.

A meeting of the trustees of the grand stand, consisting of the Earl o Rosslyn, Henry Seymour, Esq., Thomas Rawdon Ward, Esq., and Mathias Gilbertson, Esq., with the secretary, ;Mr. Thomas Hibburd, assembled on Wednesday last at the stand, on the heath, for thepurpose of making the,necessarypre limina.ry arrangements for the ensuing week. The chair was taken by the Earl of Rosslyn. Some very considerable improvements have been effected in the vicinity of the grand stand since last year, by Mr. Hibburd, the clerk of the course. The rails which were in front of and between the grand stand and the course have been removed, leaving an open space between the enclosed lawn in front of the stand arid the course. This area will be kept entirely clear, the public not being permitted to remain at this spot in order that there may be no obstruction to the view of the spectators from the lawn, who have paid fur admission to the stand. Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, will be in attendance during the races, assisted by Mr. Burnaby, the Chief Clerk. A very great improvement ha, been effected by Sir. Hibburd in connexion with the room appropriated to the use of the sitting Alegistrate . , under the stand of the Jockey Club. Heretofore the pickpockets and other offenders appre ht on the course have been taken before the sitting 'Magis trate through the same entrance appropriated to the public, in consequ , rice of their having been no other mode of ingress to the building. A separate entrance for the prisoners has just b. en constructed at the rear of the premises, in order that offenders may be introdueed . to the Magieti ate without jostling and annoying the general company. The whole of the other arrangements wil be conducted upon the same excellent plan as heretofore. The following horses hail arrived at Ascot up to yesterday morning : The Marquis of Westminster's Satirist, William de Forti bus, and Auckland; the Duke of Bedford's Envoy, the Duke of Grafton's Euterpe, Mr. Phillimore's Finchley, Solimene, and Rochester; Col. Peel's Fin-nut-aware and Nicholas; Sir. Ord's Becswing. Besides these arrivals there are fourteen horses at Scott's stables on the heath, and ten at Death's. Every stable and box in the neighbourhood of Ascot have been engaged. Indeed a greater number of horses are ex pected than have been known to _attend this meeting for many season, past. Although the course is in excellent order, yet some twelve hours' rain between now and Monday would very mate, ially tend to its improvemeet. Six extra high stands have been erected, which are as many as can be permitted, from the want of aelditional room in that part of the heath appropriated to them, in the immediate vici nity of the grand stand. several applications fiorn other parties have consequently been necessarily rejected. 'I he Queen's stand is now beirg prepared for the reception of the Court and her Majesty's Royal and Must, ious vi,itors, by several workmen, upholsterers, and others, employed in the Lsrd Chamberlain's department, under the s uperintendence of Mr. Saunders. The draperies of the Queen's refreshment and retiring rooms, consisting of elegant blue and white chintz, beautifully arranged in the form of a spacious marquee, and tastefully ornamented with Turkish festoons, have just been completed. The chairs, carpets, and other furniture, have arrived, and the whole of the spleediii fittings will be coin- i it ec erste , i 4; Mrseele:, It is quite certain that her Majesty weir hum= tile races I with her presence on Tuesday and Thursday.
