MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. rnom TOE MORNING PAPERS or TIIIS DAY. TI:11.--The early appearance exclusively of the Indian news in these columns excited great interest in the City. The loss of Glinznee has nut created any great surprise, as it was pretty generally anticipated; and this unfavourable intellgence is considered to be more than compensated far by the forcing of the Khyber Pass. On the whole, affairs in that quarter of the world are not thought to be in so desperate a condition as roesat first supposed. In the advicea received from the North to-day mention was made of the failure of Messrs. Hardie, a firm engaged in the talldw trade at Leith. Here the event is regarded as of no great importance. SUN.—The uneasy feeling which was noticed to exist some fortnight since, has been revived yesterday. Immediately before the close 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 although no outbreak is expected, still a fear is visible ;hat 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,and 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 indisposition shown by the larger capitalists to enter into speculations. The funds were .qtliet during the day, but with a somewhat downward tendency, a largo purchase by an influential broker in Three per Cent.

Samuel Hay, the landlord of the Duke of York, public house, in Shepherd. street, Oxford street. The prisoners tried to make their escape without paying their Bill, and on the landlord interrupting them they com mitted the assault, for which the Magistrate fined them forty stoll , ngt each.

(VA Airk• '.. , .cronZl72ibitton SUN OFFICE Thrce o'clock. The sugar duties were the principal subject of discus. cussion last night, in the House of Commons, and the Tory Ministry showed their regard for the people by proposing to continue the duties for one year, by which . as we have over and over again proved in The Sun, the consumers of sugar are annually deprived of betweet: 3,000,000/. and 4,000,0001. sterling, to enrich the West Indian planters. The proposition was made, too, by a West Indian land-owner. Mr. GOULBURN actually proposed to tax the people to keep up his own rent ; and all the owners of West Indian property in tht House, we believe, except Mr. BERNAL and Mr. P . M. STEW ART, voted with him to keep up their rents. They were not allowed, however, to pursue this course without being exposed. Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the duty on foreign sugar should be reduced to the duty on colonial sugar, and told the House of Commons, in plain terms, that it annually took from the people between 2,000,000/. and 4,000,000/. which went into the pockets of the West Indian planters. Some of the money, indeed, is thrown away by cultivating sugar at an unnecessary cost, in order to catch a share of the bounty. The fallacy of the various pretexts by which the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER and his party sought to perpetrate this enormity, was ably exposed by Mr. ROEBUCK. He showed that our Quixotic attempts to put clown the slave trade have in creased it, and added to the cruelties of the middle passage. He proved, by the principles of the Tories, as applied to the French Re volution, that our attempt to propagate a system of morality was erroneous, and that, if we might interfere with other nations to put down the slave trade, we ought to interfere with them to make them abolish slavery. War with the United States, therefore, will be the conse quence of following out the philanthropic and propa ganda principles of the anti-slavery party. We cannot present a complete analysis of Mr. ROEBUCK'S speech, but we recommend its perusal to our readers as an able refutation of many of the fallacies by which Members of the House of Commons delude themselves, or seek to delude others. His argu ments, though we think them irresistible looking to our people, for whom alone, our legislature is called into being, made no impression on the Ministers or their followers, and his proposition was lost by 59 to 18. Mr. LABOUCHERE subsequently moved to reduce the duty on colonial sugar to 20s. and on foreign sugar to 30s. On this question the whole of the stock arguments which were used last year on the subject of the sugar duties, were repeated, with some few personal hits. Lord J. RUSSELL reproached Sir R. PEEL with advo cating cheapness, and yet abstaining in all cases from applying his principle where it would be of the least use. Sir R. PEEL, retorting on the Noble Lord, took great credit to himself for his proposition touching cattle, and reproached the Whigs with never having mentioned the subject during the ten years they were in office. Mr. ROEBUCK, with more intemperance of manner and language than is usual with him, attacked both parties for indulging in mysti fication, and reproached both with studying only part: interests. For saying let Jamaica and let the Antilles sink in the sea, he , was taken to task both by Mr. BERNAL and Sir ROBERT PEEL. The de bate was animated during the two last hours that it continued, and at one o'clock the Committee decided by 245 to 164, that the duties as proposed by the Ministers should continue another year. So the House has resolved, in spite of the remark of Sir R. • PEEL that the cultiVation of sugar is dreadfully destruc tive of life, to give an annual bounty on its production in our own colonies of between 3,000,0001. and 4,000,00`, / a-year, at the expense of the people of England. Some weeks ago there appeared an article in The Sun, in which .we stated, on excellent authority, that the King of the FRENCH was labouring under an incurable disease. This article attracted considerable attention in Paris, but the Journals, frOrn prudential considerations, took no notice of it. Unhappily the KING'S disorder has latterly so increased•that , it can no longer be kept secret. The members of the Royal Fatnily have become so atarmed that they are afraid to quit the l'alacc, lest they might never again behold their Royal parent. For the private character of the King of the FRENCH we entertain the Wghest respect. In the relations of hus band, father, master, and friend—(for strange'as it may sound of a Sovereign, the King of the FRENCH has friendships)—LOUlS PHILIPPE hats few-equals even in private life. We are now assured on good authority, that the visit of the young Princes to London is post. poised, not from political causes, but in consequence of the rapid progress lately of the dropsy under which their Royal father is suffering. A Paris Correspondent, in a Communication to a Morning Contemporary, says — In spite, of an appearance of strength, his Majesty the King of the French has for some time past been a great sufferer: and his ailment has become a source of uneasiness to his deeply-. attached and devoted consort and his affectionate faintly. At a recent consultation of physicians the features of his Alajesty'il disorder, as well as general health, were . narrowly caanuned. The conclusion arrived at by the distinguished members of the faculty present. was, that the disease was dropsy. I make this statement on ample authority. Ilia Majesty's life may not Le in any immediate danger, but the complaint has become painful and serious. The peace of Europe—aye of the world—hangs upon the life of the King of the FRENCH. He it is who really maintains the peace of Europe. lie it was who , com pelled France to remain neutral during the war in Syria. Whatever may be his political flubs, and they arc many and serious, Europe stands indebted to him for the peace which .it now enjoys. But shall we have peace when the - Royal peace-preserver is gone ? That, in deed, is a serious question, to the solution of which the attention of the statesmen of. Europe cannot be too quickly, or too seriously directed. For our part we confess that we apprehend the worst. What abilities the Duke of ORLEANS may possess we know not ; but from all that we have heard, he is but indifferently qua lified to steer the vessel of the State in waters in which any helmsman lesS able than his father would have nmodered. Besides,- the war-fever rages so madly, that war with him wilt be a political necessity. • He will be compelled 'to fight or abdicate, unless the French people come to their senses before it pleases GOD to _remove the present Sovereign. With the question, as to whether another Revo lution will take place, or be attempted, upon the death of Louis PHILIPPE, we have here nothing to do. Not that we are indifferent to it, or have not reflected upon it, but it is too important to be introduced at the close of so short an article as our limited space to-day p erm i ts us to devote to this subject. The Paris journals, recei% ed this morning, are more than usually interesting. They all.express their joy a t the happy escape of our gracious SOVEREIGN. The fol. lowing remark:, from the Courrier Francais, so generally hostile to this country, fireSdmiCde6te, arid so creditable to the feelings of the writer, that we have pleasure in quoting them : The English pros has tried to render France responsible for the various attempts made (m the King's life. lr is not the 'fault or thiSse'viiho represent the various opinions_of Great Britain, rfbether Whigs or Tories, that the French people Should not pass for a nation of cannibals, incessantly occupied n destroying the work of her own hands t , England has her turn at present; Oxford's attempt, and the prudence of the English Government in attributing the crime to insanity, are cell known. This political precaution his not preserved the Queen from a new attempt. Queen Victoria, like Louis Phi, ippe, escaped the danger, which threatened her. Shall we now seek in some of the sores which gnaw the body of English society, the cause of the deplorable event which the English journals relate ? Shall we say that a moral evil has struck ;his nation, as a mark of,c . lecrepitude ? Shall we render her responsible for the excesses of a few fanatics, whose wild excitement is a solitary accident in all societies? We shall be ,nore generous and more just than our neighbours, and we shall not exercise, with respect to them, the recrimination that might be lawfully permitted. It is enough to have shown, by the coincidence of the same facts having occurred amongst two very different nations, that France was calumniated, and that .he could now be enti led, if she pleased, to hurl back the calumny on those who so basely gave it currency." We regret to find in the same Journal the following remarks, which are by no means penned in so pacific a pirit It was rumoured : yesterday in tl.e Chamber that Lord Cowley had officially demanded of 111. Guizut if the French Government intended effecting in our naval forces for 1843 the changes indicated by the vote of the Chamber of Deputies. The Engli.h Ambassador was to have insisted on the French Cabinet disarming the ships of the line and frigates which .11. Lacrosse's amendment obliges the _Ministry to keep up. We do not know what answer Al. Guizot has returned, and what guarantees he may have given of his obediecce to the °junctions of the English Cabinet, but the feelings of the nation will he justly wounded when it is known that a fo reign Government deems itself authorised (thanks to the ha bitual weakness of our Alinistry) to limit the number of ves sels which we may keep up. A similar pretension has not been brought forward since the inauspicious periods of 1814 and 1615, when the victorious coalition put Fracee to ransom. At present we are rich in men , and in resources ; we have a well-disciplined fleet, a warlike army, and it is our own fault if we are not powerful. if our Government humiliates itself before the demands of England, it cannot be because the na :ion is weak and worn-out ; it is simply because it is wanting in dignity, and because its energy is not responsive to that of the country. , _ . It is stated in a private letter, that the French Am bassador at the Court of London, Count ST. AuLAInE, will be sent for to Paris, to assist Ministers with his in fluence at the forthcoming elections. The Commerce publishes an address to the King from the Municipal Council of Saint Pierre, Martinique, praying him to use his influence towards puttirg an end to the distress occa sioned to the colonists by the postponement of the sugar bill; and adds, that a crisis in the 1 , rench sugar colonies, can only be avoided by the governors of them authorising, as they did in 1839, the export of sugars to all countries, and under every flag. A Naples letter, in the Augsburg Gazelle, states that although no danger of a rupture with Holland exists, the Nea , olitan Government is raising from 1,600 to 2,000 sailors for the navy. A letter from Athens, in the Lcipsic Gazette, states that Admiral Lasusse having entered the Pirmus, •the captain of an English man-of-war omitted to fire the customary salute. The Admiral complained to the Ambassador, and the Captain immediately received an order to salute the Admiral. The salute was given, but the Admiral's vessel gave none in return. The English Captain at once weighed anchor, and went off to the hurt of Phalaros. It is probable, says the letter, that the salute was not returned because the Admiral had remarked some negligence in the manner of giving it. Yesterday evening couriers were dispatched by the English Legation to the Courts of London, St. Petersburgh, Vienna, Berlin, and Madrid. The preceeding evening there had been a Diplomatic Coun cil at Lord Cowley's. M. Guizot was present at it.— Gazette de France. The Journal du Havre of the Ist of June has the following article :—" Yesterday at high water, we had a rather curious sight in this port ; it was the arrival cf a little squadron of steam boats, which the Pope has caused to be built in England, and which are to pass through France to the Mediterranean. These vessels, three in number, the Archimedes, the Guano, and the Papin, entered the port with white flags at the stern, on which were the arms of the Holy See.. Their crews wear a uniform, much resembling that of our sailors, and having on their hats the inscription " Marina Romana." From their appearance we should judge them to be about 8 tons burthen, with engines of about 30-horse power ; their form is narrow and long, resembling that of the schooner Bermudas ; they are, however, built with more solidity than elegance. • The Archimedes is distinguished from the others by richer ornaments, and more elegant workmanship. It has on the taffrel a gilt escutcheon, and the cut-water is likewise gilt. The wheel made of mahogany, which is placed behind, and its cabin, which is splendidly furnished, contains a piano -forte, indicate that it is more particularly destined for excursions of pleasure or cruising. The two, on the contrary, from the man ner in which they are fitted up, appear to be calculated for towing. , _ They are all three designed for the navigation of the Tiber. Commerce.

The markethasbeen in a very uneasy state since the opening, and the intelligence from France generally, and the rumoartd dangerous illness of Louis Philippe, are generally assigned as the cause of the depression.

The report of a further change in the Spanish Ministry has been used to lower the quotations of Spanish, and from ap pearances, the " bear" party will succeed in driving them doe n still more. Great etTorts having been making for some time to induce a belief in the leality of their value, but unsuccessfully ; and every nerve was exerted to raise the quotations, the specu lators kr a fall having DOW the command of the market, will not lose so good an opportunity for operating. In truth, how ever, it will make no difference in the worth of the documents whether Mendizabal, Hull, or any one else be the Finance Minister of Spain. In the last accounts from Sydney, mention was made of a festival which had been held to celebrate the fifty-fourth anni versary of the foundation of the colony, and of the rapid increase which - had taken place in its prosperity. Some comparative statements have come to hand which prove those accounts to have been correct : the revenue of 1826, was 72,2201., while that for 1810, was 653,127/., an increase in fourteen years of upwards of 8041. per cent., or an average increase of .57 per cent. per annum. The population in 1828, consisted of 20,930 free persons, and in 1841, exclusively of Port Philip, of 90,535, an increase of nearly 440 per week. The present system of - land sales appears to have come into full oprration in 1842, when the sum derived from them amounted' to 13,683/., which in 1840 had risen to 326,6111. or upwards of 2,2871 . per cent.. or an average of 288/. per cent. per annum. Th e Post-office, which in other countries it frequently taken as a test of the condition of trade, there shows that in thirteen years it had been rased from 598/. to 17,7:371. or more than 2,866!. per cent.

Dejazet played for the last time at St. James's Theatre, yesterday evening, in Lea Premieres Armes de Richelieu, in which she has been an emi nently attractive. Again also, after an entr'acte, the lively actress came forward in the Fille de Dominique, and delighted equally as in the foregoing. At the close of the performances Mdlle. Dejazet was lcudly called for, and came forward to re ceive the valedictory applause of the audienCe. The house was immensely full, and every stall and private box had been taken for several days previously. Amcngst the company we re marked 'rinse George of Cambridge, the'Duchess of Bedford, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Mar quis of Titchfield, the Countess of Essex, Lord Grey, ;Lady Pak en h am' the Countess of Cardigan, the Earl of Pembroke, Lord and Lady Lyndhurst, the Duke of Cleveland, Lord! Pal merston, the Earl of Chesterfield, &c. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND VulOttc Opinion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. There is considerable variety in the original columns of the Paris Journals. The Pressc and the National have articles on the proposed augmentation of the duties on linen-thread and linens, which they describe as an of justice. The Presse ob serves that the linen trade in -England has flourished under the protection of the prohibitive system, and that at this mo ment there is in England an enormous duty upon French linens, to justify the imposition of a higher rate of duty in France on the linen.thread and linens imported from that country. The National writing upon the same subject , observes : .1 We would wish to see the duty on linen thread raised to 50 per cent., and if our enemies are astonished at this, we beg of them to remember that the British duties levied en our brandies are from 6CO to 1,200 rer cent., on our wines '2OO per cent.. and on our silks 60 per cent. II Sir "filbert wishes to reduce • those duties, let him begin, and let the French Government reduce their duties in a similar proportion. Con cessions should be met by cone'itssions, but to a prohibitive system, which is war, France should only reply by war or by the same prohibitive system. The reprisals demanded by us are at the same time just and dignified. If they are not adopted, our home linen trade will not be relieved, and our most important importations will be suffered to perish." The Courrier Francais, which some time . ago showed that, notuithstanding the differences which had arisen between the Governments of Great Britain and the United States, it was so much to the interest of each to abstain from war that there was really very little danger cf an open rupture, now returns to the Subject, and cautions those' persons who have been spe culating on a war between Great Britain and America as a la vourable occasion for hostility to the former - on the part of this country. Such advice from such a quarter, although qualified by an appeal to national resourcesi'eatinot fail to be productive of good ; for nothing perhaps con,dUces so much to plunge na tions, like individuals, into conteits, as the.expectation of an access on of force by a junction with others, or the division of the forces of the party with whom a Conflict is anticipated. When men are wise enough to count upon their own means, and upon them only, they are in most eases• wises enough to prefer peace to hostility. - _ The Moniker Parisien announces that the Prince de Join vine and the Duke d'Autnale, who were to leave Paris for Eng land at the close of the month, have given up that intention for the present. According to the Augsburg Gni:oe of the 29th, the Rus sian Minister of War, Prince TsehiTnistscheff, has repaired to he, armies assembled for the projected operations against Cir cassia, to adjust some serious differences that had broken out among the Generals entrusted with the "command of different corps. 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 Atrghanistan, gave a short .history of the transaction. Lord Fitzgerald declined to enter into the subject, or to defend the policy of the late Govt rnment. For him, it was enough to defend the policy at present pursued. The petition was laid on the table, and their Lordships adjourned till Monday. . _ On the Report . of the Belfast tlection Committee in the Com mons being brought up, Mr. O'Connell gave notice that, on Mon day, he would move to suspend the writ for Belfast, 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 L 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 to 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 Gpvernment had interfered to relieve the distress at Burnley ? Sir J. Graham said assistance had 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,'as proposed by the Ministers, in spite of two opposing motions brought forward by Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Labouchere. The House sat till a Quarter to Two o'Clock. _ MONZ3I---TIEULDZ—CCIIKIKEIZCE.

A Greenwich pensioner, of the name of Proctor, was com mitted yesterday at the Greenwich Police Court to take his trial for stabbing one of his comrades. The prosecutor, it ap peared, had thrown some beer into his face, and the - prisoner, an old man, in a fit of passion, stabbed him twice with a knife which he had np his sleeve. At Guildhall, William Lee, an errand boy in the service of Mr. Watson, quill-merchant, Leadenhall-street, was c9mmittett on a charge of stealing about 20/. from a cash-box, the pro. perty of his master. The sister of the prisoner stated that on receiving a letter in the country from' Mr. Watson intimating that if the money were returned he would not prosecute, she came to town with the intention of paying the amount missing out of her wages, and. in order that her brOther, whom she brought with her, might not escape she called a policeman to take charge of him, and the polieemark insisted upon bringing him before the Magistrate. Joseph Bolton, the footman to Rear-Admiral Bouverie, who stood charged at Portsmouth with having attempted, the life of Louisa Pettis, the lady's maid in the same family, hai been fully committed for trial. FINE ARTS. The honour of Knighthood was, on Wednesday last, conferred on Messrs. Hay ter, Hess, and Allan, her Majesty's three Court painters, and also on Henry Bishop, Esq., of Hyde Park.

The classification of prisoners forms an important feature in the 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 b e f ore Parliament for its approbation. The females are to be se p ara ted from the male prisoners, so as to prevent all comm un i ca ti on b e tween them. There is one clause which will materi a lly di rn Mill sce nes of riotous living which have at times occurred within the walls of prisons. The 18th section provides that no beer, victuals, or other things, shall Le brought into the prison, except sanctioned by the rules to be made, in order /0 prevent extravagance aid luxury, and en. forcing due order." The Act is now in operation, and the day rule s_' ' which were allowed during the early part of the present term have ceased. LNW IN TELLIG ENCE. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.)

Hunter. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court took the Crown Paper to-clay, and was engaged the whole morning in listening to arguments in cases of dis ptzted settlements of paupers which have come before the Court, as'appears from the decisions of the Quarter Sessions in clitrerent parts of the country. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) THE 3E, k RQUIS OF ANGLESEY V. LORD lIAIIIERTON. This wa,r,.an action of trnver tried before Mr. Jostle?, Cress well, at the last assizes for Worcester. The question at issue was, whether the Marquis of Anglesea, as Lord of the Manor, was entitled to the coals and other minerals, under certain lands in the county of Stafford, in the possession of the de fendant and others. The verdict was for the plaintiff. Sir T. Wilde had obtained a rule to set aside the verdict, and for a new trial on the grounds of misdirection, and that the cus toms of certain other manors had been improperly rejected as evidence. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom were Mr. V. Richards and Mr. Whate!ey) showed cause against the rule; and Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. Sergeant Ludlow appeared to support it. The arguments in the case, which were of a purely technical character, had been commenced yesterday, and were this day brought to a conclusion. The Cou 11T, in an elaborate and lengthened judgment dis charged the rule. INSOLVENT COURT-(TIIIS DAY) The Court w•as occupied during the entire morning in hearing applications to bail, in which no point of public in terest was elicited. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN ,presided in this Court, and dis posed of several motions. Up to the time of our going to press no(Sing of importance or interest came before the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) fables Tucker; a notorious thief, was charged with picking pockets. 111 r. Coltsford, solicitor, stated that on the preceding . after noon, as he was about to enter the Surrey Zoological Gardens, he felt a tug at his coat pocket, and on turning round saw the prisoner and another lad walking away at a smart pace. He followed them, and seizing the prisoner found his handkerchief concealed underneath his coat. His companion made his escape. It was given in evidence that the prisoner was a convicted thief, and on examining his hands the distinguishing mark of the " Forty Thieves" was found between his fore-finger and thumb. He was committed. CLERKENWBLL.-(THIS DAY.) A foreigner, named Laborde, was charged with assaulting a female. It appeared that between twelve and one o'clock last night the complainant and another female were returning from a millinery establishment in Lower Road, Islington, when they were overtaken by a cab, in which were four gentlemen. They asked complainant to get in, and upon her refusing she alleged the prisoner forced her in, and was about taking im proper liberties with her when her cries brought a policeman to her assistance. Mr. Wakeling, who appeared for the prisoner, said the girl was not willing to prosecute—that his client meant her no harm. Mr. GREENWOOD said, if she did not pro:ecute he could not compel her. The pirties then left the office. The complainant, it was said, received a handsome silencer. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, JUNE 4.—Wind this day at noon, N.W. DEAL, Ju NE 3. —A. m.

As soon as the intelligence was brought to our office, we im. mediately despatched one of our reporters to the spot to ascertain the particulars of the accident. It appears, that Mr. H. Hennell, who was the gentleman at the heat of the experimental department, was in the act of preparing a quantity of detonating powder, which had been ordered for the East India Company's service. At about ten o'clock this morning the neighbourhood was thrown into great alarm and consternation, caused by a tremendous. explosion, which was discovered to proceed from that part of the Apo thecaries' Hall in which Mr. Hennell was engaged. He was preparing the powder, it seems, in the open air at the time of its explosion. As soon as it was possible to get near the spot, it was discovered that Mr. Henry Hennell had been killed on the spot. The surrounding buildings were all. shat tered, and upwards of 500 windows were destroyed. Fortu nately. Me. Flannel' was the only person on the spot, or the acci dent would have been most frightful. The body of Mr. Hen neli was dreadfully mutilated, his arms being literally torn from his body. We understand that one of the unfortunate gentle man's fingers was picked up as far off as Union. street, by a person of the name olJames. The body of Mr. Hennell was immediately placed in a shell to await the Coroner's inquest. We understand that he has left no family. The inquest will be held on. Monday evening between five and !ix o'clock. A public meeting of the Two-penny Postmen took place on Tuesday evening, at the Hole-in-the-Wall, Chan cery-lane, for the purpose of petitioning. the Lords of the Treasury for an advance of wages, in consequence of the in creased labour caused by the penny postage. Several speeches were made by Messrs. Bradley, Thurling, and others ; and a Committee of twelve appointed to draw up the petition, and to meet for that purpose on Tuesday evening next, at the aforesaid tavern. • Yesterday afternoon a boat, in which were five privates, and a corporal named Pattison, belonging to the Scotch Fusilier Guards, was on its way to the Tower, when on arriving opposite the London-bridge-whalf, the waterman ran against a steam-boat which was moored off the wharf; three Of the soldiers got up, and, in the confusion, the boat was upset, and the whole of them were the next moment strug gling for their lives. Several boats instantly put off to their assistance, and, after great difficulty, they were all saved but Pattison, who met with a watery grave. The steamer was moved in as short a time as possible, when the body of the un fortunate man was found, and conveyed to the vaults of St, Magnus church, to await a Coroner's Inquest. CORONER'S INctuEsT.—Last evening an inquest was held at the Blockmakers' Arms, Ashley-street, Shore ditch, on view of the body of Arn Freesdale, a fine young woman, 21 years of age. The deceased, who was the daughter of a tradesman at St. Alban's, was principal superintendent of the establishment of the Bev. Mr. Macdonnell, at that place, and had formed a strong attachment to a student there. The consequence of this attachment was, the loss of her situation, and on Saturday week she came to town on a visit to her sister, who resides with her husband in the vici nity of the New North-read, nr.d while there her manners seemed very much altered. Her father had written to her to return home on Monday last, and the dread of the reproach of her friends for leaving so excellent a situation, and under such circumstances, tended further to depress her spirits. On Monday she complained of illness, and on Tuesday afternoon she left her sister's for the purpose of going to consult a medical man, but had not afterwards returned, and at eleven o'clock on the same night her body was taken out of the Regent's Canal.

The Ist and 2d Regiment of Life Guards, and the 10th Hue. Bars from Hounslow, were reviewed this morning at Worm wood Scru b s. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the whole of the illustrious foreign visitors now staying in town were present. The ground was kept by a party of Royal Horse Guards Blue. The Royal party arrived from town in two open carriages and four, about eleven o'clock. _ _ The Duke of Beaufort and a number of military officers were present. The Court is expected to leave town on Monday for Windsor Castle, to remain during the Ascot races. TEXAN: BLOCKADE of MEXICAN PORTS. President Houston has issued a proclamation declaring err tnin ports of Mexico in a state of blockade. The question then arises—does Texas command a sufficient naval force to sustain the object of the President's proclamation? The armed marine of Mexico consists of a schooner, built at New York, and the City of Dublin steamer—both lying at Vera Cruz, and atraid to venture to sea; lest they should be captured by the Texan cruisers. Of these, the steamer is all but useless. Texas has a maritime force comprizing the following vessels: Brigs of war, Archer and Wharton ; Sloop of war, Austin ; War schooners, San Antonio, San Bernardo, and San Jacinto; these vessels arc about four years old, and during the months of March and April last sent four Mexican prizes into Galveston; they are of Baltimore build; Zavala war steamer, built at New York; La Fitte steamer, lately built on the river Brazos, in Texas, of the best live oak, cedar, and locust, her machinery having been imported. The La Fitte is a vessel of excellent material and judicious construction, and is a creditable spell men of Texan ingenuity and enterprise. Besides these, there are several tenders, sloops, and schooners, whole names I am unable to furnish, with the exception of the Washington and the Santa Anna. Now, these are all vessels strictly appertaining to Texas. and more than adequate to maintain an efficient blockade of the Mexican ports on the Atlantic, without calling in the aid of foreign auxiliaries. Yucatan has, however, closed her ports against Mexico, and to Urevent intercourse, has two armed brigs and two schooners ei nixing off the coast. . John Gumming, a seamen of her Majesty's ship Cambridge, who was sentenced by Court-martial to be hung for the murder of a boy, was brought home in the Weasel,. to Plymouth Sound last week. Preparations were made to con.: vey the prisoner on board the guard-ship in Ilamoaze ; but on Monday night orders were received by express, that the Weasel was to proceed immediately to Sheerness to be paid off, and on the following morning she sailed, with Cumming on hoard, for that place. Some doubts have arisen as to the sanity of the prisoner at the time he committed the dreadful act, and it is generally believed that the sentence of capital punishment will be revbked.--Plymouth Journal. The Gazette des Tribunaux mentions that Ozanne, 'the wine-merchant at 11ercy, who committed suicide, a few clays ago, in the forest of Vernon, and respecting whom an ab surd report was current at Rouen, that he was compromised in a conspiracy against the life of the King, is now reported to hare fled from his creditors, and to have been, moreover, ac cused by public rumour of having attempted to commit an out rage upon a female under 15 years of age. STATE OF THE WORKING POPULATION AT WOL VEATIA:MrroN.—Is is really heart-rending to witness the pitch of poverty, and want of employment now existing, and ra pidly increasing, an,ong the miners and workmen in iron works of this neighbourhood. The respectable dwelling houses situated around Wolverhampton are daily haunted by unem ployed colliers and other labourers, begging for food. These men come in large groups, looking half-famished, which succeed each other so frequently, that the total number of men in this condition must be immense. Their conduct cannot be too highly spoken cf. Although strong enough to overawe the inmates of most of the houses at which they beg, their demranour is uniformly civil and humble. —Staffordshire Examiner. The mails dispatched from the General Post-office for the Mediterranean and India, and put on beard the Great Liverpool, were the largest ever known. They consisted of five immense sacks completely filled with letters and papers. The coachmen and guards travelling along the coast of Dorset and Devon, assert that the heat for the last two or three nights has been most oppressive, which is very unusual in that part of the country. The crops look very pros- perous, on account of the soaking rains and heavy dews which the ground has experienced tor the last month. Much more rain has fallen in Dorset and Devon than in the neighbourhood of London. •-•- - - According to the official tables of the prices of wheat in the French markets for the quarter ending the last month, it appears that the highest was, during this period, 27f. 2c. the hectolitre in the market of Marseilles, and the lowest IM, sc. in that of Verdug. • MA VISIT OF COUNT MENSDOIO i'O WOOLWICH.
