It postpones the clause concerning the females working in mines, till the Ist of March—it substitutes the age of ten for the age of thirteen, at which boys are to be admitted into the mines—it abstains from regulating their hours of employment —it gives up the inspectors—it merely diminishes the years of apprenticeship, without abolishing it, and it allows persons to be placed in charge of engines when they are fifteen years of a g e. Everybody must admit, and Lord As SILLY and his friends must vehemently assert that these regulations, which fall so far short of what they proposed, are completely inadequate to correct the evils in col lieries. They are most imperfect as a code for regulat ing labour in them. At the same time, by touching the matter at all, the Legislature makes itself respon ..sible both for what it does, and for what it leave -un done. Till March next, it sanctions the abomination of women working in the mines. It sanctions that which has been stigmatized as a cruel employment Of children. It sanctions practices which have been said to be vicious and degrading to both sexes, and highly derogatory to the national character. By touching this subject, which it ought never to have done, un less it could completely regulate every part of it, the 'Legislature has made itself chargeable with the whole, and has taken on:itself all the:odium which belongs to continuing the cruelties described in the Report of the Commissioners. It would have been much better for the character of Parliament, as we advised it, not to have meddled with the - matter. Under the impulse, however, of blind benevolence it has relieved the coal owners and the colliers from their responsibility, and taken that all on itself. We presume the gout of Commons m us t, f or it s own sa k e , throw out the amended Bill which the Lords will send down to it. By passing that Bill, it will sanction all the enor mities which are left uncorrected. The most important news brought by the Britannia arrived at Liverpool, having left Halifax on the 6th inst., is, that President TYLER has vetoed a Bill passed by the Congress to suspend the Compromise Act. This third exercise of the veto power had excited a considerable sensation in Congress, and Mr. ADAMS was one of the foremost in denouncing it as unconsti tutional. Mr. WISE defended it. It certainly is as strong an act of monarchical authority as could be practised by any Sovereign of Europe, and may give rise to some alteration in the American Constitution. In the State of Rhode Island there has been a regular rebellion headed by a Mr. Doaß, who had formed an entrenched camp, and made considerable pre parations for a fight. _The approach of the troop 3, and the proclamation of martial law, caused the insurgents to throw down their arms and disperse. Mr.. Dona escaped, but a considerable number of persons was ar rested, and a considerable quantity of arms, including six pieces of artillery, captured. The force of the in gsurgents is said to have amounted to 1,500 men. These papers bring no confirmation of the reported insurrection in Hayti. They contain advices from the West Indies of a later date than the former gence, and nothing is said in them of the deposition of President Bonn The Royal Agricultural Society, w hi c h terminated itsp.roceedings at Bristol, on Friday, deserves from us a brief notice. The meeting on that occasion is said t; to have far excelled in the splendour of its festivi ties, the excellency of itsarrangements, the number of its members, and in the quality of the stock and implements exhibited, any of its predecessors. ' Though we are not backward, we hope, in doing homage to the vast skill displayed in our manufactu ring districts, and admire more than we can well ex ' press, the inimitable machinery which is therebrought into operation, being thoroughly convinced, too, that its moral effects—reducing all who have to use it, into habits of order and regularity—are as beneficial as its effects in abridging labour, yet are we well convinced that agriculture, which supplies the bulk of our sub sistence, lies at the foundation of all our greatness, and deserves far more than the meretricious arts which merely contribute to the splendour of a few, the hearty approbation of all reasonable men. We are glad, therefore, to see that art fostered and en couraged by our nobility and gentlemen, and glad to se&their meetings attended by distinguished strangers, who will spread the fame of English agriculture over the wide world. Though we are extremely hostile to the absurd, wicked, and unsuccessful attempt of our law-makers to promote its improvement, as they say, by plun dering and starving the rest of the community, we quite agree with Earl SPENCER, who in wishing for its improvement—he placed the improvement which has already been made on its right basis, and accu rately described its relative extent—said— " What has raised this our country to be so great among the other nations of the world ? It is the union of our agriculture, our manufactures, and our commerce, which renders this little island—which, if you look at it on the map, seems but a spot before the eye—one of the most, if not the most powerful nation of the world. — (Cheers.) It is the united energies of your people which have excited them to the accumulation of wealth, that has raised this country in the scale of nations, and made us what we are, and, I hope in God, shall long continue to be.—(Great cheering.) These three great interests are intimately connected tog It is one of the wise dispensations of Providence, that the people of this country, and, indeed, of any country, shall be dependent on one another If any of the great interests to which I have referred fail, depend upon it the others will soon feel the effect of the loss. Gentlemen, with respect to the manufactures of this nation, we know that enor mous strides have been made ;and that the manufactures of our country have absorbed into themselves the advan tages of every scientific discovery, and the British manufacturers hare applied to them every advantage which the improvements in chemical science have en abled them to do. With regard to our agriculture, gentlemen, though it has not hitherto applied to the ex tent which I hope it will soon apply, the advantages of scientific improvement to our practical knowledge, yet, gentlemen, I am confident that the station of our agricul ture stands very high—if not the highest among all na tions of the world.—(C beers.) I speak this of agricul ture generally ; but if I were to speak only of our do mestic animals, there could be then no doubt that we stand very far indeed before any other country in the breed of our domestic animals as we stand before them in the skill and prosperity of our manufactures." It is, indeed, too plain to need any proof, that our agriculture, as the bulk of its produce is raised for sale, must find more encouragement in the increasing demands of the consumers, and more effectual means of improvement, than in all the meetings of all the societies that ever existed, and in all the laws that ever were made. Wh at would become of agriculture without customers ? What could meetings do if there were no buyers ? It is, therefore, by the com prehensive machinery erected in our manufacturing districts, which has called into life and wealth the huge towns of Manchester, Glasgow, Liverpool, and half London—though pro-Corn-law writers con tinually deride it—that our agriculture, as well as our corn merce and manufactures, has been made to flourish. Lord SPENCER is truly sensible of this, and he proclaims aloud to those weak and silly persons who decry machinery, and seek to arrest the progress of manufacturing prosperity, that " if any one of these j great interests falls, the others will soon feel the effects of the loss." To; keep down manufactures, to stint commerce, and to crush the rising democracy of the towns, are the suicidal objects of those pro. Corn-1 aw legislators, who pretend to desire the aggrandisement and improvement of agricuiture. Lord SPENCER is not one of these ; he is an enlight ened friend to both agriculture and manufactures. We are well pleased to see the British Agricultural Society endeavouring to improve agriculture by the application of science. It is right, as the landlords cut off the supply of food from abroad, that they should extend cultivation at home ; but when they have done so, where will they obtain a market for their produce ? The 11 3rrniacntrcr -,-- ert - ea T ---s-a=iee a great deal more than the landowners and all the agricultural classes can purchase. The agriculturists do not want more calicos, and fustians, and muslins, and they will not give away their produce. For what, then, will they exchange their increased produce ? Will they send it abroad ? For England to export agricultural pro duce she must reduce its cost, or prices must fall below the level of other countries. The landlords say that is ruin. We must inform them, however, that they can get no equivalents for their increased produce but by encouraging manufactures, and we warn them if they do not unchain manufactures, and allow com merce to go free, that agricultural improvements will speedily end in their own ruin. The only way in which they can get equivalents for new produce, is to allow the merchants and manufacturers to bring them from abroad, and to retain restrictions on trade, while they promote the application of science to agri culture, is like a man setting out vigorously on a journey with his right leg, while he persists in chaining his left leg to a wall. Though the Tories forced themselves into office by opposing the modification of the Corn-laws, by denounc ing the Poor-law Bill, by creating false alarms about the safety of our Church Establishments, and still more false alarms respecting the free-trade propensities of the Whigs, the country must rejoice to learn that, however little creditable to their political consistency, a change, unexampled at any former period, has been manifested by them on all these points during the session. The Premier has surprised the friends of monopoly by the new tariff, and the " true friends" of the Church by re jecting the scheme of the Monk of Oxford for Church Extension ; the Home Secretary fights the battles of the Poor-law Ccmmissioners with more than Whig pertinacity ; and tha President of the Coun cil rivals Lord BROUGHAM himself in ardent aspi rations for the extension of education among the lower classes. This has given great alarm to the monks ; and Sir ROBERT INGras accordingly, on Friday, in denouncing the scheme, fell foul of his ft iend Lord WHAENCLIFFE, and expressed great gra- tification that her MAJESTY'S Ministers were not fol lowing the example of their Noble Colleague at the head of the Council. This roused the ire of Sir J. GRAHAM, who, after lecturing .his lion. Friend on his disorderly conduct, and his attempt to set himself over the Bench of Bishops, went a great deal farther, and announced the intention of the Government to investi• gate the mal-appropriation of public charities, in order to apply the funds to the purposes of education. It was," said he, " the duty and the desire of Government to pay the most anxious attention to the subject. It was their intention to go fully into the investigation, and he believed it would be found that ample funds existed ; and if it should be necessary to apply to the Legislature for power to ap propriate these funds to their legitimate destination, the Government would have no hesitation in applying to Parliament for the necessary powers." Every friend of the lower classes, and all who can appreciate the bless ings of education, will rejoice to learn that the great work begun by HENRY BROUGHAM a quarter of a century ago, has now a fair chance of being brought to a happy completion. Let the Government go on in this wise course, and though they may be deserted by the selfish bigots, they will be supported by the liberal men of all parties, and by all those Christians who know that true religion and pure morality are not confined to the members of an exclusive Church Establishment. The death of the Duke of ORLEANS has cast a gloom of sorrow over France. But one sentiment—but one Feeling, pervades the country ; that of profound grief for the loss France has sustained by the premature, frightful death of the highly accomplished and univer sally beloved heir to her throne. Cold, hard, unfeeling, and repulsive must be the heart of the human being who can read unmoved the account which we have elsewhere copied from Galignani's Messenger of this afflicting cala mity. The Prince, in the very prime of life, dyin g in the arms of his broken-hearted p arents, presents a pic ture of sorrow such as never can be forgotten. All party feuds have ceased in Paris. The gayest capital in Europe is now the most sombre—the most desolate of all sounds hut those of sorrow and sympathy; for the bereaved Royal Family. Even the fierce Republicans of the capital lose their hostility to the KING in deep and sincere commiseration for the affliction of the father. Truly did Lord BROUGHAM say i n the House of Lords last night, that there is not a human being in the British empire that does not sym pathise with the French people, and the ORLEAN S family. In the language of the Duke of WELLINGTON, the death of this universally beloved Prince is great and lamentable misfortune to France," in which the concurrence of a feeling of deep grief extends far beyond the walls of the House of Lords. The time was, how ever, well chosen for its expression by that House ; and when the first burst of agony is over, NI ill be deeply felt by the afflicted Monarch and father. On public grounds this sad event is of deep import ance to Europe. There is something so startling in the idea of a Regency in France, that it cannot but fill every mind with serious apprehen sions. Tightly as the reins of Government are grasped by Louis PHILIPPE he no more than succeeds in keeping a revolutionary mania in check, which threatens to overwhelm France the moment they are en trusted to a feebler, or unsteadier hand. Now such must be that of a Regent, however appointed, or by whomsoever elected. The Constitutionnel, M. THIERS' organ, ex presses a different opinion, probably because that little abortion of foreign statesmanship looks forward to fol low in France the example of ESPARTERO in Spain " France," says the mouth-piece of the parodist of NA POLEON, " confides in the dynasty which she has given to herself. The frightful catastrophe which deprives her of the Prince Royal, will only serve to fortify her sentiments. She will transfer to the young son of the Duke of ORLEANS the affection which she had sworn to the father, and she will watch with tenderness and care over the cradle of the Count of PARIS. Nothing is changed in France by the death of the Prince Royal, and this should be made known to all those who, whether at home or abroad, feel inclined to take advantage of our public misfortunes. Our national dynasty has its roots in the soil, and nothing can tear them up. The Throne on which Louis PHILIPPE has placed himself, and which it will be for the happiness of France that he may occupy for a long time, will be handed 4ewn to his heirs. Such is the will of France." We fear that France has not yet communicated her will to the Constitutionnel. Neither can we comprehend how a chain is strengthened by the breaking of the second link in it. France may, and we sincerely trust will, watch with tenderness and care over the cradle of the royal infant now committed to her guardianship ; but the question arises—who will direct her Government ? Who will keep her fierce and turbulent spirits in check while so employed ? The answer to this question is of immense importance 'to Europe ; but we fear that it is not in the power of the French press to give it. Letters from Constantinople of the 27th tilt. state, that the Syrian question is making no progress. The Porte contends, in answer to the representations of the repre sentatives of England, France, and Austria, that the reports of the Maronites are incorrect, and that the Syrian authorities are not guilty of the excess imputed to them, and that before any decision cam be come to, fur ther inquiry must be made. In consequence of repeated squabbles between British Consular Agents in Turkey and the Turkish authorities, Sir STRATFORD CANNING addressed the following circular to the Consular body, which, on being communicated to the Divan, afforded the greatest pleasure to the SULTAN and the GRAND VIZIER:— " In the actual state of our relations with this empire, the Sultan and our gracious Queen are desirous to perpetuate a cordial good understanding; but in an empire composed of various populations at a distance from the seat of Government, and differing from us in manners and religion, much evil may arise from inadvertency in the management of your in tercourse with the local government. The times of violence end mutual animosity are happily passing away, and daily ob. servation warrants a hope that advantage may be taken of the improvement to soften those remaining asperities in the con duct of public business which often engender ill-will and disturb the most important interests. On the one side, her Majesty's Consuls may perform the duties prescribed to them without pretending to more than what treaty and long-established custom have fairly conferred upon them ; on the other, a considerate and forbearing exercise of power, accompanied with a due respect for the public character of the Consuls and their agents, as well as for the privileges conferred on foreigners by treaty, may well become the Pachas, and ether distinguished functionaries of the Sublime Porte. On both sides it is most desirable that relations of good will and con fidence should be carefully anti mutually cherished; that complaints addressed to either party against the other should be impartially examined, and that, whenever any serious occasion of difference should arise, a conciliatory spirit and temperate language ought to characterise every proceeding in the damand and prosecution of justice. It is particularly incumbent upon you to give the British protection to no one whose title is not clearly established ;—to maintain the enjoy ment of no privilege which will nut stand the test of inquiry, to consider with proper respect the representations of the local authority, and in case of any just ground of complaint to spare no pains to settle the question equitably and amicably upon the spot, without requiring unreasonable satisfaction, or overlooking what is due to the laws and customs of the country. "I am, &c., " STRATFORD CANNING." We Nava received the whole of the Paris Papers. They are full of melancholy details, which will be found elsewhere, of the lamented death of the Duke of ORLEANS Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, M. Vertin de Y ana , orderly officer to the Prince Royal, and M. Chomel, chief ptilslclan to the Duke of Orleans, set out for Plombiercs, where the Duchess of Orleans was to p ass th e season. At nine o'clock the Duchess of Nemours and Princess Clementine, accompanied by Madame Angelina and Lieut.- General Rumigny, also set out for Plombieres. Their Royal Highnesses take letters from the King and Queen to the Duchess of Orleans. At ten o'clock the Duke of Aumale, accompanied by Count Afontguyon, Aide-de-Camp to the Prince Royal, was sent by the King to the Pavillon Marsan, where the seals were affixed in his presence to the papers of his Royal Highness. M. de Larne, orderly officer to the King, is gone to the Chateau d'Eu, with orders to bring back their Royal High nesses the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres, who were to pass at that place the season for sea bathing. At eleven o'clock at night the Duke of Aumale returned to the Palace of Nenilly. A courser has been sent to the Duke of Nemours, and orders have been despatched to Toulon, to send a steamer to the coast of Sicily, where the Prince de Joinville is supposed to be at this moment, with the squadron of Admiral Hugon.—Journal de Debats.

BILL FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE QUEEN.—An intelligent correspondent, who writes from Ilfracombe, points out a defect in the Bill. According to the second clause, :he culprit, when whipped, can only be imprisoned afterwards, and as many are justly of opinion that vagabonds like Bean should be both whipped and banished from the country, he suggests that an alteration should be made in the Bill to that effect. His suggestion, however, comes too late, as the Bill was passed last night. The town of Reading, it is known, is at present unre presented, from the constituency not having been quite immaculate at the last election. Mr. George Robins an nounces the sale, next Thursday, of a Villa and small Park (the Grazely Lodge Estate), within three miles of the town, but alludes to this important fact by the fol lowing ingenious observation :—" By the way, at this interesting moment cf doubt, while the elective franchise of Reading is in abeyance, if a gentleman of character and fortune be tempted into this enviable purchase, there is no good reason why he may not count upon adding MY. to his present honours. The cellars are famous, and it oily needs t o l et h osp i ta li ty an d goo d f e ll ows h ip preside to accomplish this great event." MONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. The market remained good during the whole day, and seve ral purchases to a small extent, however, having been made, a general firmness must b e note d .

The quotation for Mexican also was rather higher, b a i ng 36i for time and 36 a for money. The Share Market exhibited more disposition for business than had been seen for some days past, and Railway Stock could not be purchased on such favourable terms for buyers. London and Birmingham were 177 179; Birmingham and Gloucester, 87 B'9; Great Western, 86 87 ; the Half shares, 61 62; South Western, GI 62; North Midland, 59 60 ; the New Shares, 29 291; South Eastern and Dover, 22 23 ; Nor thern and Eastern, 39 401; Eastern Counties, 81 9; Black wall, 9 9s ; arid Brighton, 34 3411 per Share.

It will be observed that a considerable decline has taken place in the premium on Exchequer Bills. This, it is supposed is mainly owing to operations which have been carried on, on account of the Bank of England. At tl.e time when this es tablishment reduced the rate of diseount to Four per cent. much complaint was made that it had thereby so greatly de teriorated the value of money, especially in the country, that not only would a certain loss accrue to capitalists, but a spirit of dangerous speculation be engendered. The stagnation in business consequent upon this uncertainty as to when the late complete revolution in the principles of t ra d e in to operation, come operation, has also greatly depreciated the rate of interest, and as a kind of counterpoise to the rise in the funds, it is most probable that the Bank has felt it to be THE SUN, LONDON, •MONDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 1842 a duty somewhat to contract the issue of notes. If such shall have been the case, it must be admitted that the curtail ment has been judiciously undertaken. But it must again be noticed, how much more useful the monthly returns of the lia bilities and assets woeld be, if some distinction were made, not as to the nature of the " Securities," but as to the purpose for which they may have been deposited. A distinction should be drawn as to whether Exchequer Bills, which can be thrown upon the Market at any time, shall have been deposited by the Government with a power to the Bank to use them as its own ; by private individuals as a security for loans, such bills to be re delivered identically when the loan may be repaid; or whether they may have come into the possession of the Bank, in consequence of a necessity of contracting or enlarging its issues as necessity might require. (From The Sun of Saturday.) The improved state of the Funds, noticed yesterday, con• tinues, and though —as is usual on a Saturday—but little busi ness has been done, the market wears a firm appearance.

A good demand has sprung up, and it may be noted chiefly for the staple articles of consumption with out much speculation. Although this was naturally expected wou?d be the case, in consequence of the long sus pension during the agitation of the Tariff question, yet the business has far exceeded in extent what had been anticipated. If any proof were requisite of the preferability of free over restricted trade, it would be found in the tran sactions during the last few days. Several descriptions of produce, which hitherto had been loaded with prohibitory duties, have not only found purchasers, who had for years stood aloof, but have actually been cleared for consumption, for the purpose of being used in manufactures, &c., which the heavy duty before rendered impossible. The accounts received of the harvest are highly favourable, although in some districts it may be expected to be compara tively a failure. The conclusion generally come to is, how ever, that the crop will be about an average ; and this opinion is confirmed by the circumstance, that the present duty of eight shillings is being extensively paid upon the bonded stock. To these pleasing statements hangs a heavy counterpoise. It is not often that provincial occurrences attract the attention of men of business universally, but to-day a prevailing topic of conversation is the state of the manufacturing districts, the re sult of which is looked for with the utmost anxiety and alarm.

( 5 paid) ON THE DEATH Oi*THE DUKE OF ORLEANS. Twelve years—and yet it seems but yesterday ! Since I beheld young Orleans, at the side Of his great father, up the crowded way In triumph ride ! In all the grace of manhood's early bloom, Modest he smiled ; and, as the shout rose high, Bowed to his courser's neck the snowy plume In mute reply. That night, I saw him 'mid the festive glare, Whilst many a loftier beauty sought his glance, Select a burgher maiden, young and fair, To lead the dance. And still, as round him pressed the glittering throng, And brightest eyes their magic influence shed, He looked some fairy prince of ancient song, Risen from the dead. But those were Gallic freedom's halcyon hours : The conquering people threw their weapons down, To bind with chaplets of the sweetest flowers Their new-given crown. Exhausted faction slept ; no murmur rose To break the concord of the general tone: It seemed, as though a monarch might repose Even on a throne ! Since then, twelve years have seen the undaunted sire By wondrous skill a slippery seat maintain, Guiding his light-poised car, and steeds of fire, With steady rein. And Orleans waited for the dangerouS place, When Philippe's strength should fail, as fail it must. Alas ! the sire is weary of the race ; The son is dust ! A widowed bride will weep upon his grave, And orphan-babes lament his timeless fate ; But worse than all, where is the arm to save That tottering State ? 0, by the love I bear thy valleys green, Thy vine-clad hills, and orchards blooming fair, Thy woods and groves, thy azure sky serene, And balmy air ; From deadly feud, and passion' s l aw l ess w ill, And war's fierce madness, eager to advance— In this dark hour may Heaven protect thee still, Beautiful France ! —True Tablet. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND lOubitc '4; Onton. " Who runs may read," FOREIGN. The reflections to which the melancholy death of the Duke of Orleans has given rise wholly occupy the editorial columns of the French journals received this morning. The advices from Madrid are of the 7th instant. The Ma drid papers complain of the insecurity of the highways, which are infested with brigands in every direction. The Va lencia stage coach was stopped by twenty mounted knights of the road, who pillaged the passengers, and took away the horses of the vehicle. Her Majesty's steamer Prometheus reached Constantinople on the 25th, with the family of Sir Stratford Canning. She brought the intelligence of the events that had taken place at Tripoli, and which have been matter of much excitement at Constantinople. Mehmed Pacha, the newly appointed Go vernor of that Regency, was to put to sea on the 28th, with a few troops, a frigate, a corvette, and schooner. The Courrier de Lyon of the 13th inst. announces a serious disturbance to have broken out at Mantua between the Jews and the Christians. The Austrian Government was obliged to interfere by force; but the people tore up the pavement and attacked the soldiers with stones, who fired on the multitude, killed 50 persons, and wounded many. The disturbance still continued, and no Jew dared make his appearance in the streets. The Government was obliged to march troops from Verona and Milan. MONEY—TRADE—CONIIVIERCE. The " strike " of the operative masons at Glasgow still con. tinues ; it has now gone on for five weeks. The number out of work is about 400. The salmon fisheries in the northern rivers have been very successful during the past week, and the quantities in most of the streams are daily on the increase. ECCLESIASTICAL. The late Bishop of Meath, whose death we announced on Friday, was in his 47th year, and one of the youngest of the Irish Prelates ; entered Trinity College, Dublin, in 1810 obtained scientific and classical premiums, and was author of various pamphlets on ecclesiastical subjects. The annual value of his diocese is 4,0681. AGRICULTURAL. The agricultural labourers in Bucks are as distressed as any operatives of the manufacturing districts. In the parish of Long Credon, 800 acres of good land do not employ ten labourers. In Oakley, there arc many labourers out cf work, and distress is rife. In Ludgershall (close to Wotton, the Duke of Buck ingham's residence), things are in a worse state than in any of the preceding places. Thirty-two are there out of work de pending on the other villagers. ir.avAx. .AND wrizrr.a.ny. On Friday Captain Peter Roberts, the Alaster of the ship Douglas, a p peared at the Thames Police-office, to answer the claims of two of his seamen in the voyage from Guernsey to Africa and bark. The Captain refused the men payment on the score o f mut i ny, and the saiiors in return accused the Cap tain of drunkenness and unseamanlike conduct. Mr. Ballan tine referred the case to be adjudicated by the Admiralty. The entran ce examinations at Sandhurst College took place last Tuesday, when "6 passed, making 180 on the books of the College. LAW AND POZZCE. Mary Robinson, the lady-thief," was on Friday b r ought up at Rox.street f or final examination, charged with stealing a gold pencil-ease from the Pantheon in Oxford-street, and fully committed to Newgate for trial. James Edie was brought uo on Friday at the Mansion house by an agent of the firm of Messrs. Crawford and Lindsey, linen merchants, of Ireland, for breaking into their premises, and st ea li ng goo d s to t h e amo unt of 2201. Sever a l witnesses averred to th e f ac t o f see i n g the prisoner committing the robbery, upon w hi c h h e was remanded. Dennis Clement, a pensioner of Greenwich Hospital, was on Friday charged at the Police-office there, on suspicion of causing the death of Bridget flo.loway, with whom he lived, and whose decease was supposed to have been mused by bruises received from him. The Coroner has to investigate the matter, and the prisoner will be called up again on Tuesday. PINE AUTS. From seventy to eighty cases of marbles, bas reliefs, and statues, discovered by Mr. Fellowes, in Linea, have been safely embarked on board the Monarch and Medea, steamer, and are new on their road to England, to be deposited in the British Museum. LITERARY AND SCIENTIPIC. At a recent meeting of the Meteorological Society, it was stated, frons atmospheric observations made at Sandwich, that June was remarkable for a constant stream of positive elec tricity, supposed to arise from the proximity of Mars to the sun. SPORTING. The death of the Duke of Orleans will be a great blow to the French turf. The Duke kept up Gee packs of hounds at St. Germain, Fontainbleau, and Chantilly. Racing in Fiance, under his management, had become quite popular, and French horses were sent to run on English courses. Beggarman won the Goodwood Cup, and Nautilus is in the entry for this month. George Edwards, the jockey, was the head trainer of the Prince. The whole of the stud is now likely to be sold off. COURT-rasIxoNJILT.E. His Excellency Prince Castelcicala arrived in town on Thurs day, from Derbyshire. The Earl of Desart and his bride have arrived at Desart Castle, the mansion of the Noble Earl in the county Kilkenny. The Dowager Countess of Clare has arrived at Mountshan non. Ireland. Viscount Duncannon arrived in town on Friday, from 80. wood. Lord Forester left town on Wednesday, for Guernsey. `ZYZ1C5CZ0L7...11.2%,T2.10 A company of sappers and miners are now perambu lating North Lincolnshire, and employing themselves in throwing up mounds, and placing station-flags on the most elevated situations. The ordnance-survey is said to be the purpose, but some are of opinion that the positions they select are for beacon fires, to enable the civil powers the more readily to call in the aid of the Lincolnshire Yeomanry, who are under orders to be in readine:s to quell any revolt that may be at• tempted by the people of the manufacturing districts. A railway train, at a reduced price, and intended for the en tire use of the mechanics of Liverpool who may wish to visit London, is announced for the Ist of August. Ne ar ly 2,000 persons have already put down their names. A farewell dinner was given to Sir Allan M`Nab on Fri day, at the Thatched House Tavern, by the members of the British American Association, the Duke of Richmond in the Chair. Sir George Murray, Lord Aylmer, Sir Peregrine Maitlind, and Sir F. Head, the former Governors of Canada, were all present. Sir A. M'Nab commented upon the ser vices of Captain Drew, who had been chiefly instrumental in cutting out the Caroline, and expressed a hope that the mo ther country and the Canadas would now be united in bonds stronger than. they had ever been.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. The Britannia steamer, from Boston and Halifax, one of Messrs. Cunard's splendid line, commanded by. Captain John Hewett, arrived at this port this morn ing, at a quarter before eleven o'clock. By her we have received New York papers to the Ist, Phila delphia to the Ist, Boston to the 2d, and Halifax to the sth, and from Canada generally to a correspond ing late date. The Britannia is a day behind her usual time of arrival, as usually calculated, which we find arose from her being detained off Halifax, on her way from Boston, for thirty-six hours, by a most dense fog, which rendered it unsafe to run for the harbour. She sailed from Halifax on the morning of the 6th, having left Boston on the 2d, and has made the voyage under ten days. .She has fifty-seven passengers, amongst whom is Major Cooke, the baarer of despatches from Lord Ashburton. (From the New York American of July 1.) The political occurrences of the last few weeks in the United States have been discouraging to all wbo love their country and hope for the perpetuity, as well as efficiency of its free institutions. At Washington dis cord prevails. The President is without the confidence of Congress, or any considerable portion of it, an d t h e result is disagreement as to almost all important public measures. The state of the revenue laws is such as to make it • questionable whether any duties can now be collected ; for the Compro mise Act had its completion yesterday, and from that date new duties, and new modes of levying those duties were to be arranged. But the legislation on the subject contemplated by the Compromise Act, has not been matured, and to meet this contingency a tern porary bill was passed, extending to Ist August the duties in fbrce on Ist June, and the laws for collecting them. Upon this temporary Bill the President has put his Veto, and as there are not two-thirds in either House to carry the Bill, notwithstanding the Veto, it is defeated, and the collection of any revenue will be disputed. - _ We annex the Message of the President, assigning his reasons for not signing the Bill : " To the House of Representatives : " I return the Bill which originated in the House of Representatives entitled An act to extend for a limited period the present laws for laying and collecting duties on imports,' with the following objections : "It suspench—in other words abrogates for the time the provision of the Act of 1833, commonly called the Compromise Act. Th e only ground on which this de parture from the solemn adjustment of a great and agi tating question seems to have been regarded as expe dient, is the alleged necessity of establishing by legisla tive enactment rules and regulation of assessing the duties to be levied on imports after the 30th of ..lure, according to the home valuation ; and yet the bill ex pressly provides that if, before the Ist of A ugus t, t h ere be no further legklation upon the subject, the laws for laying and collecting duties shall be the same as though this Act had not been passed.' In other words—that the Act of 1833, imperfect as it is considered, shall, in that case continue to be, and to be exe cu t e d as law tinder such rules and regulations as previous statutes had pre scribed, or had enabled the Executive Department to prescribe for that purpose—leaving the supposed chasm in the revenue laws just as it was before. "I am certainly far f rom b e i ng d i sposed to deny that additional legislation upon the subject is very desirable. On the contrary, the necessity, as well as difficulty, of establishing uniformity in the appraisements to be made in conformity with the true intention of that act, was brought to the notice of Congress in my Message to Congress at the opening of its present session. But, however sensible I may be of the embarrassments to which the Executive, in the absence of all aid from supe rior wisdom of the legislature, will be liable, in the en forcement of the existing laws, I have not, with the sin cerest wish to acquiesce in its expressed will, been able to persuade myself that the exigency of the occasion is so great : as to justify me in signing the Bill in question, with my present views of its character and effects. The existing laws, as I advised, are sufficient to authorise and th zuC-:.r the jiir ii-eo.soc. - , levy the (hle ot the Act of 1833. " That Act was passed under peculiar circumstances, to which it is not necessary that I should do more than barely allude. Whatever may be in theory, its cha racter, I have always regarded it As imposing the highest moral obligation. It has now existed for nine years unchanged in any essential particular, with as gene ral acquiescence, it is believed, of the whole country, as that country has manifested for a-'y of her wisely es tablished institutions. It has insured to it the repose which always flows from truly wise and moderate coun cils—a repose the more striking, because of the long and angry agitations which preceded it. This salutary law proclaims, in express terms, the principle which, while it led to the abandonment of a scheme of indi rect taxation founded on a false basis and pushed to dan gerous excess, justifies any enlargement of duties that may be called for by the real exigencies of the public service. It provides ' that duties shall be laid for the purpose of raising such revenue as may be necessary to an economical administration of the Government.' It is, therefore, in the power of Congress to lay duties as high as its discretion may dictate, for the necessary uses of the Government, without infringing upon the objects of the Act of 1833. I do not doubt that the necessities of the Government do require an increase of the tariff of duties above 20 per cent. ; and I as little doubt but that above as well as blow that rate Congress may so discriminate as to give incidental protection to manufacturing industry—thus to make the burdens, which it is compelled to impose upon the people for the purposes of Government, productive of a double benefit. This most of the reasonable opponents of protective duties seem willing to conceive, and if we may judge from the manifestations of public opinion in all quarters, this is all that the manufacturing interests really re quire. I am happy in the persuasion that this double object can be most easil s y and effectually accom plished at the present juncture, without any departure from the spirit and principle of the statute now in question. The manufacturing classes have now an opportunity, which may never occur again, of perma nently identifying their interests with those of the whole country, and making them, in the highest sense of the term, a national concern. The moment is propitious to the interests of the whole country in the introduction of harmony among all its parts and all its several interests. The same rate of imposts, arid no more as will most surely re-establish the public credit, will secure to the manufacturer all the protection he ought to desire, with every prospect of permanence and stability which the hearty acquiescence of the whole country, OR a reason able system, can hold out to him. " But of this universal acquiescence and the harmony and confidence • and the many other benefits that will certainly result from it, I regard the suspension of the law for distributing the proceeds of the public funds as an indispensable condition. This measure is, in my judgment, called for by a large number, if not a great majority, of the people of the United States, by the state of public credit and finances, by the critical posture of our various foreign relations, and, above all, by that most sacred of all duties, public faith. The Act of September last, which provides for the distribution, couples it inseparably with the condition that it shall cease—lst., in case of war; 2d., as soon and so long as the rate of duties shall, for any reason whatever, be raised above 20 per cent. Nothing can be more clear, express or imperative than this language. It is in vain to allege that a deficit in the Treasury was known to exist, and means taken to supply it by loan when the act was passed. It is true that a loan was authorised at the same session during which the Distribution Law Was passed, but the most sanguine of the friends of the two measures entertained no doubt but that the loan would be eagerly taken up by capitalists, and speedily reimbursed by a country destined, as they hoped, soon to enjoy an overflowing prosperity. The very terms of the loan making it redeemable in three years, demonstrate this beyond all cavil. Who at that time foresaw or imagined the possibility of the actual state of things, when a nation that has paid off her whole debt since the last peace, while all the other great Powers have been increasing theirs, and whose resources, already so' great, are yet but in the infancy of their development, should be compelled t • haggle in the money market for paltry sum, not equal to one year's revenue on her economical system ? If the Distribution Law is to be indefinitely suspended accord ing, not only to its own terms, but by universal consent, in case of war, wherein are the actual exigencies of the country, or the moral obligation to provide for them less under present circumstances than they could be were we actually involved in war ? It appears to me to be the indispensable duty of all concerned in the administration of public affairs, to see that a state of things so humiliating and so perilous should not last a moment longer than is absolutely unavoidable. Much less excusable should we be in parting with any portioa of our available means, at least until th e d eman d of the Treasury were fully supplied. But besides the urgency of such considerations, the fact is undeniable that the Distribution Act could not have become a law without the guaranty in the proviso of the Act itself. " The connection, thus meant to be inseparable, is se vered by the Bill presented to me. The Bill violates the principle of the Acts of 1833, and September 1841, by suspending the first, and rendering, for a true, the last inoperative. Duties above 20 per cent. are proposed to be levied, and yet the pro. iso in the Distribution Act is disregarded ; the proceeds of the sales are ,o be Is tributed on the Ist of August, so that while the duties proposed to be enacted exceed 20 per cent., no suspension of the distribution to the States is permitted to take place. To abandon the principle for a month opens the way to its total abandonment. If such is not meant, why postpone at all ? Why not let the distribution take place on the Ist of July, if the law so directs ? which, however, is regarded as questionable. But why not have limited the provisions to that effect ? Is it for the accommodation of the Treasury ? I see no reason to believe that the Treasury will be in better condition to meet the payment on the Ist of August than on the Ist of July. " The Bill assumes that a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands is, by existing laws, to be made on the Ist day of July, 1842, notwithstanding there has been an imposition of duties on imposts exceeding 20 per cent. up to that day, and directs it to be made on the Ist of August next. It seems to me very clear that this construction is equally erroneous and dangerous, as it would divert from the Treasury a fund sacredly pledged for the general purposes of the Government, in the event of a rate of duty above 20 per cent. being found necessary for an economical administration of the Go- vernment. " The Bill under consideration is designed as only a temporary measure, and thus a temporary measure, passed merely for the convenience of Congress, is made to affect the vital principle of an important Act. If the proviso of the Act of September, 1841, can be suspended for the whole period of a temporary law, why not for the whole period of a p ermanen t l aw ? A. doubt may he well entertained, in fact, according to strict legal rules, whether the condition having been thus expressly suspended by this Bill, and rendered inapplicable to a case where it would otherwise have clearly applied, will not be considered as ever after satisfied and gone. Without expressing any decided opinion on - this point, I see enough in it to justify me in adhering to the law as it stands, in preference to subjecting a condition so vitally affecting the peace of the country, and so solemnly enacted at a momentous crisis, and so stedfastly adhered to ever since, and so replete, if adhered to, with good to every interest of the country, to doubtful or captious in terpretation. In discharging the high duty thus imposed on me by the Constitution, I repeat to the House my entire wil lingness to co-operate in all financial measures of a con stitutional character, which, in its wisdom, it may judge necessary and proper to re-establish the credit of the Government. I believe that the proceeds of the sales of the public lands being restored to the Treasury, or more properly to speak, the proyiso of the Act of September, 1841, being 'permitted to remain in full force, a tariff of duties may easily be adjusted, which, while it will yield a revenue sufficient to maintain the Government in vigour by restoring its credit, will afford ample protection, and infuse a new life into all our manufacturing establish ments. The condition of the ' country calls for such legislation, and it wil afford me the most sincere plea sure to co-operate in it. " JOHN TYLER. " Washington, June 29, 1842." The effect upon the credit and finances of the general Government of this quasi anarchy at Washington can not be otherwise than disastrous, and even more disas trous will be its effect upon the affairs and business of the nation at large. Turning from the affairs of the Union to those of the State of Rhode Island, we see much to deplore there. The rebellion, indeed, is crushed—we think now fin. Ily —but innocent bloc,d has been shed, Martial law has been proclaimed in a time of profound general peace. Money is very abundant, and first-rate paper is in de mand at from 6to 7 per cent. interest per annum. New York State Stock, since the closing of the books, have fallen off from Ito 2 per cent.

At the last dates from there of the 22d instant the discount on the notes of the suspended banks varied from 7 to 38 per cent. THE GRAIN CROP OF THE UNITED STATEB.—AII ac counts concur in saying, notwithstanding rust in Lower Virginia, and wet cold weather elsewhere, it will be superabundant. senor Lopez has resigned the Presidency of Guata mala, and Senor Rivera Paz has been chosen to succeed him. Carrera was nominated, but declined. Paz took the oath of office on the 14th. General Villasenor, Commander-in -Chief of the National Forces in Costa Rica, with all his troops, has surrendered to General Morazan, by a capitulation entered into on the 12th of April, without striking a blow, or making any attempt at resistance: The two armies fraternised, and Morazan was preparing to advance on Guatamala. Vigorous efforts were in progress at Guatamala to encounter the invader. The advices from Rio Janeiro are to the 24th of May. A day or two previously 2,000 troops left Rio for the coast of Santos, in the province of Paul, to suppress some political disturbances. The insurgents require the dis missal of certain obnoxious persons in the Ministry, a demand which the Emperor refused. They profess the greatest devotion to the person of the Monarch, but ap peared jealons of the Portuguese influence over him. But the disturbances were not considered of a very serious nature, and the rest of the empire was perfectly tranquil. A large number of men of war of different nations were at anchor in the harbour. The advices from Port au Prince state that all was quiet in the island, though previous to the earthquake. Presiflent Boyer had become very unpopular with the inhabitants. The Yucatan papers contain a decree of the Yucatan Government in reply to than of Santa Anna of the 7th May, declaring the Yucatoes traitors and outlaws, and withi.i an) of the T .
