the house was simply this—to take 20,0001. from Greenwich Hospital and give it to the hospital for merchant seamen, and then to supply the deficienc} thus created to Greenwich Hospital by a charge on the consolidated fund. Now, would it not be a more simple and easy way at once to propose a charge of that amount from the consolidated fund for the mer chant seamen ? If such a proposition should be made, he was not prepared to consent to it. He was called upon day after day by hon. members, some wanting the remission of one tax and some of another. But how could the house expect him to consent to the re mission of taxation while they burdened the consoli dated fund by such charges as this bill would create ? Let the house recollect that this bill did not propose to relieve the merchant seamen from any deduction now made from their pay ; it only gave a different ap plicatian to what they paid. The merchant seamen had an indirect interest in Greenwich Hospital. On the whole, he saw no case made out for the bill, and he would therefore oppose it, and he hoped that the house would not consent to make this deduction from the funds of Greenwich Hospital until some provision was made to replace it. Mr. LY A LL, in reply, said, as a proof of the benefits which might be derived from a merchant sea men's fund, he might mention a fact which he had heard since he came into that house—that, in the course of the last winter, 430 claims had been made on (we understood) the Seamen's Widows' Fund, at Newcastle, in consequence of wrecks on our coast. Just as strangers were about to withdraw, An HON. MEMBER moved as an amendment to the motion for reading the bill a second time, that it be read a second time that day six months. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the reond reading For the amendment Majority for the bill The bill was then read a second time. On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. LYAL I. moving that the bill be committed on Monday next.—Ordered. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE BILL. On the motion of Lord HOWICK, the house went into a committee on this bi 11... Several verbal amendments having been made, the house resumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. POOR LAWS' AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of Lord A LTHO RP, the order of the day for the committee on this bill was postponed till to-morrow. JEWS' DISABILITIES. The order of the day for the second reading of the Jews' Disabilities Bill being read, . .. Mr. CUMMING BRUCE said he should not re capitulate the arguments he had made use of in op posing this bill on a former occasion. He felt that the constitution of this country was founded on Chris tianity, which had been said to be part and parcel of the constitution. He had hoped the project would this year have been suffered to remain in the bosoms of its authors. Indeed he had entertained strong ex pectations that this bill would have been suffered to drop out of mere respect to our Christian Monarch and his oaths at the coronation. That august' per sonage was bound to protect and preserve the consti tution both in church and state as delivered to his charge ; and, in order to preserve that august per sonage from the disgrace of having this bill offered to his acceptance, he should, were he to vote alone, press the house to a division on this occasion, so as to have his sentiments in opposition to the measure recorded Od the minutes of the house. He was glad to find that the sense of the public was, in contradiction to the sense of the present administration, against the measure. So far the charge against this kingdom. ac a kingdom, not as composed of individuals who were admitted as such to be eminently religious, brought by the hon. and learned member for Dublin, of atheism, was disproved. That hon. and learned member's doctrine was, that though no man could be too reli gious personally, yet, nationally, every great people must be atheistical. Here the British nation had not only, as individuals, proved itself Christian, and re pelled the charge, but collectively, as a nation, vindi cated its claim to the high appellation of Christian. The hon. gentleman concluded by moving as an amend ment that the bill .be read a second time this day six months. Mr. PE TRE gave the bill his cordial support. The arguments urged by the hon. gentleman in oppo sition to the measure appeared to him, in themselves, sufficient reasons for supporting it. He rose princi pally for the purpose of expressing his earnest wish and ardent hope that all civil disqualifications, on ac count of religious opinions, would he completely done away with, and that every man would be suffered to worship God according to the dictates of his own con science, provided that his conduct was not detrimental to the state, and did not compromise his allegiance to his sovereign. Man was answerable to no one but Cod for his religious opinions, and therefore he ought to suffer no detriment for them. Mr. PO ULTE R said, that in the absence of any proof that the Jews were deserving of a continuance of the restrictions to which they had hitherto been subjected, he should support the measure. The his tory of Poland, France, and the United States, proved the perfect competency of the Jews to fulfil the duties of citizens, in all those states where they had been admitted to a fair and honourable participation of civil rights. He looked upon these laws as the last remnant of expiring intolerance, and hoped that the spread of liberality would speedily extinguish it. Sir D. K. S AND FORD said that the history of other nations had been referred to, but he would not, in legislating for this country, consent to take an ex ample from America, in which events were witnessed go fatal to all religion. ( Hear, hear.) He trusted the hon. member for Dublin, who cheered him in so peculiar a manner—who had spoken so eloquently elsewhere on the subject of the union between church and state, would bring forward a motion on the suLject, and then he ( Sir D. K. Sandford) should be able to prove what he had asserted as to the pernicious effects upon religion, which were to be traced in the history of America. He did not recognise this measure as p. measure of true toleration. He looked upon it as the offspring of a false liberality. This was a Christian country, having a Christian legislature ; we were a Christian people, and we ought not to do anything by which our Christian principles would be compromised. He saw nothing in Scripture which led him to consider that Christian charity de -Inanded the concession of civil or political privileges. ITC had heard it said, " Why refuse the Jews admis gitm to this house when there are already infidels in it?" But he asked, would any man dare to avow himself in that house a declared and open infidel ? If any man wished to make such a profession, let him go to the Old Bailey, and he would be driven from the court amidst the scorn, and hisses, and execrations of the people. He was not putting an imaginary case. Such an instance had occurred, and it was a proof that no man dared to avow himself in this country a declared and open infidel. In his ( Sir D. Sandford's) opinion, the moment a Jew was admitted into that house, that moment the Legislature of the country would be un- Christianised. Mr. BUCKINGHAM supported the bill, and con tended that there could not possibly be any danger in Fetnpving the disabilities under which the Jews la boured. He denied that there was the slightest ana logy- .!-b etween the case of an infidel presenting himself _,ox and a Jew. A Jew's evidence would in a wi 1 tness- he received in a witness-box, but an infidel's evidence would be rejected. (Loud cries of " Question.") I W, W. ROCHE supported the bill, and main.. tallied that tranquillity could never be established in ibis country till all relations in society were placed upon an equal footing, with regard to religious free- dom. Mr. R. GRANT briefly replied. He hoped the house would not consider him guilty of any disrespect to lion. members, or any indifference to the subject, if he declined going into any arguments on the present oc ,casjon. It was with profound and sincere regret, be must say, that heought such arguments as he had heard urged on the opposite side could do no good to the cause of Christianity. The house then divided— For the motion Against it Majority 9l 'T he bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. THE LORD'S DAY BILL. Mr. HE SK ETH FLEETWOOD said that in rising to move the second reading of this bill, it was unnecessary for him to dwell at any length on the principle, involved in it, as it had been so lately dis cussed on another OCCASIOII in that house. H e h o p e d the present bill would obviate the objections which had been made, inasmuch as it did not interfere with the personal conduct of the subject on the Sabbath Day, nor prescribe any particular mode of conduct to be observed. ( Hear.) The bill before the house had three specific objects—first, to prevent Sunday trading; ilex; to prevent the process of manufactures on that day ; and the third, to shut up public houses during certain hours. The present bill proposed to repeal a lumber of statutes on the subject, and substitute one Mort one in their stead. One of the consequences of the passing of the measure would be to equalise the profits in trade and do away with competitions, by which the Sabbath was profaned. One clause in the bill had been made a matter of objection. It had been said that by it the labouring man, however great his emergency, or however urgent might be the call upon him by the sudden sickness of any portion of 'his family, would be prevented from receiving his wages except at a particular hour ; but surely any 1------ ne employer might easily obviate this objec - si.l by advancing the money as a loan to meet the pressing necessity of the occasion. (Hear. ) Another of the objections which had been made to si milar bills was that the present one contained no clause against drunkenness. The measure was one which imperatively forced itself upon the attention of the house, inasmuch as it was supported by no less than 1,273 petitions, containing 277,400 signatures and up-, wards—a number of petitions and signatures unparal leled, except by those in favour of the abolition of West India slavery. ( Hear, hear.) Another motive for the attention of the house would be furnished by the character of the bodies who petitioned in favour of this measure. Under these circumstances, and see ing that there was nothing compulsory to the con sciences of any contained in the bill, he did not see how the house could well refuse to entertain the se cond reading. In a land avowedly Christian, the ex pediency of protecting the Sabbath from desecration could scarcely be denied, and if the principle were admitted, the bill might be suffered to go through the second reading, and the details afterwards con sidered in committee. If gentlemen thought well to expedite the business, he had no objection to a select committee, which, in many instances, would be better and more convenient than a committee of the whole house. He would not now move for a select com mittee, but if it met the general approbation, he would be most happy to agree to it. The house should re member that the greater part of the people of Eng land were in reality strongly embued with religious feeliggs, and that in legislating for the Sabbath they were legislating in unison at once with the wishes of the great majority of the people. ( Hear, hear. ) The proposed measure did not affect travelling on the Sabbath, and as, from the great number of petitions on the subject so numerously signed, which had been forwarded to that house, they must ultimately proceed to legislate in some way, he conceived that the present bill, being less objectionable than others, had better be adopted. The hon. member concluded by moving the second reading, which being seconded, Mr. O'CONNE L L rose and• said that he trusted the house would not allow the bill to proceed to a second reading. Indeed, before bringing it forward, the hon. gentleman ought to have taken the trouble to read his own bill, which it was evident he did not understand. The hon. ..gentleman said that, by his bill, no one was compelled to observe the Sabbath. He admitted that every one might make it a day of idleness, forgetting, in the admission, that idleness was the , mother of all crime. ( A laugh.) The house had been told that the bill would not interfere with travel ling. It was evident the hon. gentleman had not read the first or second section with regard to ordinary calling. Now a coachman, in driving, would exercise his ordinary calling ; and therefore, unless a man travelled on foot, or with self-directing horses, this bill inter fered. The groom who harnessed, and the post-boy who drove, were subjected to the penalty. By the 6th section, payment in any way but one would be rendered void ; and if the Monday were market-day, unless the wages were paid at noon to the instant they could be recovered again, and yet here was a contract on Sun day prohibited by the bill—a penalty for paying, and a penalty for not paying, at one and the same instant. ( Hear, and laughter.) These were the consequences of a fury for legislating. This bill proposed a whole sale repeal of all the existing statutes on the subject. Had the hon. member read those statutes which he was thus about to repeal in a bundle ? Seriously, could such a measure be called legislation? ( Hear.) If, as had been said, that house was a christian assembly, it should be also remembered that common sense should have some sway in it. ( Cheers.) The bill proposed to interfere with tea and coffee shops. These were the clubs of the humbler classes. ( Hear, hear.) Could it, then, be said that the bill made no distinction between rich and poor ? The HoN. MENIIIER for Preston here intimated that clubs were included. Mr. O'CONNELL—Yes, but there are no keepers in clubs, as in taverns and coffee-shops, to be pro ceeded against. Clubs were universal property. There was a bill of a similar nature before the other house, and another still to come before that. Would it not be better then to postpone the present one, and I have the three in a batch ? ( A laugh.) Was it right or necessary to pass such a bill ? Was it called for ? The hon. member stated, and stated truly, that the spirit of religion was on the increase in the land; to be satisfied of this, it was only necessary to look around them, and he would assure the house, that the further increase of this spirit depended less on the statute than the moral law, and that the attempts at the former mode would only impede its progress. The bill abounded in vexations, and be would therefore move that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. ROEBUCK seconded the - amendment, and bore testimony to the inefficiency of legislative enact ments for the purposes contemplated by the bill. Mr. POULTER thought some legislation should be resorted to on the subject, but objected to the bill of the hon. member for Preston, as increasing the penalties which before existed. Penalties would not accomplish the end before sought to be obtained ; and the clause with regard to wages would be found very vexatious, binding down the payment to a single instant of time. The mode by which he (Mr. P.) would remedy the evils would be to act strictly on the statute of Charles 11., and prevent the gross eva sions of it which at present took place. He was aware that there were a great many petitions in favour of the bill ; but did the petitioners know the existing state of the law on the subject ? Did they know that the statute of Charles 11. was almost universal in its application ? Did they know that that statute com prehended almost all trades, forbidding the watermen to be on the river on Sundays, forbidding the bakers to bake after a certain hour on Sundays, and in other respects being very severe in its enactments? Let them first put that law in force before they come to this house for fresh legislation. He believed that there was a good deal of indifference about religion in the country, but he also believed there was a good deal of mistaken religion in the country. ( Hear, hear.) He believed that on the whele the English might be considered as a religious community, and he hoped that they would be still further improved by education, by inculcating a religion connected with morality ; by discouraging hypocrisy and excessive zeal, and by urging the necessity of good works ; not as an atone ment for natural sins, but as an indispensable condition of the remission of that sin. No man was more anxious than he for the proper observance of the Sabbath, and when the present bill was disposed of, he should sub mit to the house to proceed with the bill which he had introduced. The house then divided—• For the amendment 77 Against it Majority The bill was consequently lost. RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLIES BILL. On the motion for bringing up the report of the Religious Assemblies Bill, Mr. WYNN objected to the bill on account of its interfering with the discipline of the Church of Eng land. Mr. HARDY expressed his readiness to surrender that part of the bill to which the main objection of the hon. gentleman and other hon. gentlemen applied, by striking out the words which gave the parties, in whose favour the bill was brought in, the privilege of having divine service with closed doors, and to leave it to a general sense of decency that they should not be interfered with. _ _ _ ....... Sir M. W. RIDLE Y expressed himself hostile to the principle of the bill. The report was then brought up. The amend ments were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on the 11th June. COUNTY RATES BILL. Mr. E. J. STANLEY brought up the report of the County Rates Bill. On the motion of Mr. WILBRAHAM, a clause was introduced, providing that no justice of the peace should act or vote touching the assessment, manage ment, or expenditure of any county rate, unless he should have a bona fide qualification in that district to which the rate applied. Mr. WILBRAHAM then moved another clause, imposing a penalty of 1001. upon any justice of the peace who should act in contravention of the clause just introduced.—This clause went through a com mittee of the whole house. The Report was brought up and agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday week, and to be printed as amended. LORD'S DAY BILL. Mr. POULTER moved the second reading of his bill for the better observance of the Lord's Day, the whole of the clauses of which were—one to prevent shops being kept open on Sunday, and the other to prevent wages being paid on Sunday. After a short conversation, Sir W. MOLE SWORTH moved, as an amend ment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months ; which amendment was seconded by . Mr. RITTHVEN. After some further conversation, the house divided-- For the Amendment Against it 52 Majority The Bill was accordingly read a second time. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and at half-past one o'clock this morning the holm?. adjourned. LIST OF THE MAJORITY Of 96 ( Tellers incl ing of the Bill chant Service fn Hospital.

On Monday last, the I9th inst., their Majesties honoured the Royal Militiry College at Sandhurst with a visit, for the purpose of presenting the gentle men cadets with a new pair of colours, and of witness ing the half-yearly public examinations at the institu tion. Their Majesties were accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, Prince George of Cambridge, and Lord Frederick and Lady Augusta Fitzclarence, and attended by a numerous suite, among whom we observed the Marquis and Mar chioness of Downshire, Lord and Lady Howe, the Earl of Errol, Lord Elphinstone, Lord Robert Gros venor, Sir Andrew Barnard, &c. The Duke of Wellington, the General Commanding-in-Chief, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Adjutant and Quartermaster-General, Sir Herbert Taylor, and Lord Fitzroy Somerset, were also in attendance upon the King. _ _ _ About twelve o'clock the Royal cortege, consisting of five carriages and four with outriders, and escorted by a squadron of the 2d Life Guards, arrived at the College from 'Windsor, and were received on the parade with Royal honours by a guard of honour of the Coldstream Regiment,' commanded by Lieutenant Colonel 11. Renwick, and by the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the College at the head of the battalion of Gentlemen Cadets. The King, who was dressed in a Field-Marshal's uniform, was re ceived with enthuAiastie cheers by a concourse of . spectators which included all the rank and fashion of the neighbouring counties. In presenting the new colours to the cadets, his Majesty took occasion, in the most impressive manner, to point the attention of his auditors to the glorious example of the rewards attendant upon a zealous devo tion to the martial service of their King and country, which stood before them in the persons of the Duke of Wellington, and of the many distinguished generals, his ancient companions in arms, covered with the honours which they had won under the victor of a hundred fields. A royal salute of 21 guns from the flag-staff battery closed this strikirg ceremony; and the gentlemen cadets afterwards marched past their Majesties in slow and quick time, and performed other evolutions with a steadiness and accuracy which would have done credit to a veteran regiment. From the parade their Majesties prOceeding to a hall in the College, classes of gentlemen cadets ap r eared before them for examination in fortification, &c., and acquitted themselves in a higly satisfactory manner. After this exhibition, such of the officers and gentlemen cadets as had been publicly examined, were summoned to receive, in the royal presence, the certificates of qualification and recommendations for commissions, to which they had severally entitled them selves. The following officers were then presented with certificates of qualification of the first class :—Captain E. Townsend, 83d regiment; Captain T. J. Deverell, 67th ditto ; Captain T. M. 'Wilson, 96th ditto. The following Gentlemen Cadets, who had passed the required examinations, were recommended for commissions :—Richard T. Farren, Robert Bates, Morris F. Ximenes, Theodore M. Haultain, Hew D. Fanshawe, George R. Stevenson, Frederick H. Lang, Charles Durie, and Langford Frost. To which list of nine recommended for commissions, his Majesty was pleased to command Lord Hill to add the names of Gentlemen Cadets, William W. Rooke and Ed ward Archdall, the two senior officers, who had the honour to carry the new colours on this occasion. After visiting the Riding-house, where twenty Gentlemen Cadets went through all the exercises of the school, the King gave a grand dinner to the dis tinguished officers present, as well as to the officers studying at the senior department, and to the Gentle men Cadets. The banquet was served in two of the College Halls, which, as well as the examination hall, had been very appropriately ornamented with banners, armour, and other military trophies, under the tasteful` direction of Mr. Stacey, of the Ordnance department. After the health of both their Majesties had been enthusiastically drank by the young gentlemen, the King proposed that of the Duke of Wellington and the British army, a toast which elicited from his Grace, in a speech for which we regret that we have not room, an animated eulogium on the benefits which the College had already rendered to the service, and as spirited an exhortation to the young gentlemen to prepare themselves, by an assiduous attention to their studies, to emulate the honourable career of those dis tinguished comrades by whom he was surrounded, and to prove themselves worthy of the • royal favour which had just been conferred upon themselves, and upon the scene of their education. The following persons had the honour to dine with their Majesties, besides her Royal Highness the Prin cess Augusta, Prince George of Cambridge, and Lord Frederick and Lady Augusta Fitzclarence : —The Duke of Wellington, the Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire, Earl Hillsborough and Lady C. Hill, Lord and Lady Howe, the Earl of Errol, Lord Hill, Lord Elphinstone, Lord R. Grosvenor, Sir F. Wat son, Lady Harriet Paget, Sir Edward and Lady Owen, Sir Charles and Lady Rowley, Ladies Lumley and Scovell, the Misses Hudson, Mitchel, Wilson, and Wyse ; Generals the Lords Edward and Fitzroy Somerset; Sirs Edward Paget, Lowry Cole, A.

With unfeigned regret we announce this melancholy event, which took place at a quarter to five o'clock this morning. The improvement which was percep tible in the symptons of his fatal malady yesterday evening, and which inspired his friends with a hope that his valuable life might yet be spared to them,con tinned until about two o'clock this morning, when a change took place in his breathing, which announced the approach of dissolution. A blister was about to be applied to the chest, but he faintly expressed his dissent, and these were his last words. The venera ble General was born on the Ist September, 1757, and, consequently, wanted little more than three months to complete the age of 77. The wondrous scenes in both the New World and the Old, in which the name of Lafayette was prominently distinguished, are among the most remarkable in the annals of man kind ; and we safely aver, without entering into ab stract opinions on political doctrines, that history doe's not in all her records possess a name which has passed through the searching ordeal of public opinion, even in the darkest and most tempestuous times, more pure and unsullied than his whose death his country is to-day called upon to deplore. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-MAY 19. - - LAFAYETTE. M. Dupin, President, in the chair. The President, in the course of the day, took advan tage of a pause in the public business to address him self thus to the Chamber—" According to a wish ex pressed by several deputies, I feel no doubt but that the Chamber will authorise me to send, in its name, to make inquiries relative to the health of our illustri ous colleague, General Lafayette. (Numerous cries of Yes, yes.') I have already (added the President) sent in my name." After a short lapsftof time, the President again ad dressed the Assembly, and read the answer to the in quiries made in the name of the Chamber relative to the health of General Lafayette . It was as follows : " Mr. President,—All my family feels grateful for the interest the Chamber has so kindly taken in my father's health. I have the satisfaction to inform the Chamber that there is a slight improvement in his situation. Have the kindness, Mr. President, to present the homage of our respectful gratitude to the Chamber—and accept for your self the assurance of my very high consideration. (Signed) " GIEORGE LAFAYETTE." SITTING OF MAY 20. At half-past twelve o'clock M. Dupin, the Presi dent, took the chair. _ _ After M. Ganneron had read the proces verbal of the preceding sitting, the President rose, and in a moved voice, said " I have the affliction of announcing to the Chamber the decease of the hon. General Lafayette. He died this morning at five o'clock. I shall now proceed to draw the names of the members who shall attend his funeral, but I have no doubt but a great number of his colleagues will consider it a duty to accompany his remains." The President then drew the names of the deputation. M. Francois Delessert rose and moved that the President be invited to write a letter to the illustrious General's family, expressive of the profound grief felt by the Chamber for the great loss his colleagues and the entire of France had experienced. The motion was, of course, agreed to. The sitting was then suspended for an hour, when the chamber resumed the discussion of the budget of receipts. (From Galignani's Messenger.) Letters of the 12th instant, from Madrid, confirm the former accounts, stating that the expedition into Portugal, under General Rodil, meets with great ob stacles. Being obliged to weaken his small army by sending detachments through Castile into the Basque Provinces, he is forced to observe the utmost circum spection in advancing in an enemy's country. The submission of Almeida to Donna Maria, insures a basis for the movements of the Spanish division, which are about to he combined with those of the Duke of Terceira, for driving the Miguelites from Coimbra. It is stated that an interview took place on the 4th at Mengualde, between the Duke of Terceira and Gene ral Rodil, in order to act in concert against Coimbra from both sides of the Mondego, the Spaniards de scending the left bank of the river, and Don Pedro's troops the right. To insure the success of this operation, the general who commands at Oporto is to march upon Vouga, Admiral Napier is to effect a landing at the mouth of the Mondego, and the Por tuguese vrbo 111,A at Leyria arc to advance towards Lou rical. The Miguelites were engaged in throwing a bridge over the Tagus at Abrantes. Public opinion at Madrid is becoming daily more and more irritated at the uncertain proceedings of the government. It decidedly will not listen to any proposals for acknow ledging the Cortes' debt. Foreigners expected that the constitutional party would, as soon as it obtained the power, hasten to consolidate this debt, which its chiefs had sanctioned and voted, and which none but an absolute government could disown ; but on the con trary, the ministry of M. Martinez de la Rosa will not even carry into execution the conversion offered in 1831 by Calomarde himself. It is feared, moreover, that the Cortes when assembled will refuse their sanc tion to every plan of finance which is not founded on the reduction into 3 per cent. consols of all the debts of Spain, including the mass of the deferred bonds of the internal debt. The division between the ministry and the council of government is most decided on the question of the finances. A letter of the 13th inst. from Madrid, received by express, says—" The government has just received the news of the entrance of the Duke of Terceira into Coimbra. A change in the ministry is spoken of. The Ministers of the Finances and of War are said to he about to be superseded. If this change do take place, they will he succeeded by men whose opinions are more in accordance with those of the public. The Council of Ministers decided yesterday that the con vocation of the Cortes shall be published on the 22d instant. They are to meet on July 25, it being the fete of the Queen's Mother." A courier arrived yesterday from Constantinople with the answer of Admiral Roussin to the despatch, announcing his appointment as Minister of the Marine. The Admiral entreats his Majesty to permit him to retain the embassy at Constantinople. In consequence Admiral Jacobs has been appointed Minister of the Marine and the Colonies, and last night took the oath in the presence of the King. The ordinance by which the above appointment is made appears in the Moniteur of this morning. The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 17th inst., an nounces, after a letter from Bayonne of the 15th, that as the conditions for the loan did not appear accept able to the Queen, a banker of the capital has offered 25,000,000 f. to her Majesty at five per eent. The Republicain Suisse affirms, that M. de Wer ther, the Prussian Minister at Paris, has formally disavowed in the name of his Government the state - inent of the King of Prussia- having -authorized the separation of Neufchatel from the Swiss Confederation. The Augsburg Gazette of the 16th inst. contains the following extract of a letter of the sth, from Rome : —" The Pope returned to his capital on the 14th. He was received everywhere with enthusiasm ; the peasantry came out and lined the road along which he passed, and the poor were bounteously relieved. At Tivoli each labourer working at the new cascade re ceived a dollar and a medal by way of encouragement, and the directing engineer was richly rewarded. Se veral letters, written in cipher, have lately been re ceived here ; they are supposed to come from the pro paganda in Paris. They have not been deciphered vet, being written after a system not yet known here." The Gazette states, after a letter from Frankfort, dated the 11th inst., that "judicial proceedings are going on relative to the late disturbances, which are now quite at an end, tranquillity and confidence having again returned to this prosperous city." This jour nal has the following from Vienna, dated the Bth inst. : —' 6 The quadruple alliance has now been officially made known here, Admiral de Rigny, as Minister for Foreign Affairs, having addressed a circular to all the French Envoys, directing them to make the same known to the several Courts at which they are accredited, and c learly to of Spain odemo andnstra Portugal.tethatits Willohjeetis t ot effect effect thispacification object? That is the question. The character, habits, and institutions of the four nations are so different, that we are not very sanguine in our hopes as to the benefit Spain and Portugal will derive from this new treaty. There is, however, a general desire throughout Europe that bloodshed should cease in the Peninsula, aid that peace should be again restored to it; whoever contributes in any degree to the removal of civil war deserves the thanks of all well-disposed persons." The Berlin State Gazette of the 14th instant quotes prussian 4 per Cents. 991 99i. The Suabian Mercury gives letters from Constan tinople, announcing that Mahomet Mirza has been de clared to be heir to the throne of Persia, and that Mirza Abdul Hussein Khan has been sent to St. Peters burgh and Lontron to obtain from those Courts an ac knowledgment of the prince in that quality. (From the Private Correspondence of a Morning Paper.) PARIS, MAY 20. In simply announcing to you the demise of General the Marquis de Lafayette, I believe that I do all in my power to give interest to the statement. The ve nerable patriot and heroic soldier was in the 77th year of his age, having been born on the 6th of Sept., 1757. He expired at hi s h ouse i n t h e rue d'A n j ou t hi s morn ing, a few minutes before five o'clock. Had this event occurred six weeks earlier, it might, and I think would, have been followed by others of very serious import. The recollection that General Lafayette had incurred the local attack which even tually terminated in his death, by following on foot to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise the remains of M. Du long (a patriot himself, and the nephew of our still more celebrated Dupont de l'Eure), and the remem brance that the life of M. Dulong had been taken in a duel by the champion ( I suppose I must call him) of the Court, General Bugeaud, would have pro voked more of public indignation than it can or will now occasion. A sentiment of grief will now super sede that of rage. The revolt, or whatever other name shall be given to the affair of the 13th and 14th of April last in Paris—the insurrection at Lyons--the attempts of a similar kind made elsewhere—the mas sacres, and the innumerable arrests that accompa nied and have succeeded to them—the trials of the prisoners now impending—the granting of all the real demands of Government by the Chamber of Deputies —and the tone of despair taken by the Opposition— have all contributed to throw a damp on the spirits of the people, of whom, with all his weakness, Lafayette was the idol. The consequence will be, that his remains will now be interred with pomp certainly, but unac companied by any movement of an insurrectionary cha racter. King Louis Philip is unquestionably the spoiled child of fortune. Death seems to strike with peculiar energy for him, and even the frailties of human nature appear to develop themselves but to serve and pro mote his purposes. Napoleon the Second, Lamarque, and Lafayette, are numbered with. the dead. The empire and the republic have succumbed with them. The cause of Henry V. was lost by the occurrence at the Chateau de Blaye. It was reported this afternoon that government agents had repaired to the house of the late General Lafayette immediately on being apprised of his de cease, and that they had seized on and sealed up all his papers. It was false. Nothing of the kind, except the usual form, will take place. Nothing like joy, triumph, hostility, or contempt, will be displayed by the Court, nor by any connected Kith it. A single spark will serve to illume the combustible matter which now lies dormant, and to supply that spark the Court will carefully avoid. The funeral of General Lafayette will be a splendid—it will be an interesting--even a touching:spectacle, but it will not be productive of great consequences. Orations—numerous orations will pronounced n o c f e t d h e over n histe gravespirit o e f r eartheAtnhtecnv.Grief cover willim , have "o'er way"—garlands of flowers will rise in pyra mids 'erthe grave of his rest," and Lafayette will him, but , p repose among the great and the unfortunate already entombed in the square of Massena (including Ney, Davoust, Massena, Lefebvre, Suchet, St. Cyr, &c. ), and the people will disperse, and the fate of France will remain for some time longer undecided. Peace to his manes ! Several days since I announced to you that Admi ral Roussin had refused the Ministry of Marine. That announcement you will find confirmed by the Moniteur of this day, in the appointment of Admiral Jacob to that department. Admiral Roussin accom panied his refusal of the proffered office by a represen tation to his government of the necessity for their having at Constantinople, at a moment like the pre sent, a diplomatist acquainted with the policy of the Porte au fait at the intrigues of Russia, and (for a Frenchman will always be a Frenchman) an Admiral whose experience and local knowledge would insure advantages to France, as in the event of hostilities he would only have to shift his flag from the hotel of his embassy on board a ship of the line, in order to give his country the benefit of all his acquirements and talents. _ _ In my letter of the 20th inst. I mentioned to you, and I had learned the fact exclusively, that some mat ter in which the name of our own Sovereign was mixed up had created an uneasy sensation at the Tuileries. The reason or the cause of this occurrence has not transpired, for I reject the villainous Stock Exchange rumour of yesterday. It is said to have been created by an autograph moral lesson on the subject of go vernments, read or written to the Monarch of the barricades by his Majesty King William INT. of Eng land, brought and enforced by the Duke of Richmond, who, in addition to his being a Cabinet Minister of Great Britain—had, in his French Peerage of D'Aubigny, a hereditary right to tender his counsel to, what shall I call him ?—his other royal master. Here I shall leave the affair, for I am yet unable to inform you of the real cause of the effect in question. I shall know it, however, and will, if worth while. communicate it to you.

It is well known that Dr. Dalton, whose splendid discoveries in chymistry have at length re ceived that appreciation in his own country which they had long enjoyed in others, is a member of the Society of Friends. The University of Oxford did itself high honour in conferring on the septuagenarian philoso pher the degree of Doctor of Civil Law.

DUTIES ON IMPORTS.—We have con stantly noticed the discrepancy that exists in the acts relating to the protection of the British Colonial Trade, and the evasions that foreigners h ave rec ourse to, even under the present liberal legislative system, adopted for their advantage, to embarrass the opera tions of British merchants. We are led to make this remark at present in consequence of having noticed the importation of St. Domingo mahogany from Turks Island. This island, as the public are aware, is a British possession, and the course adopted by the ma hogany growers of St. Domingo is to ship their pro duce to Turks Island, and then reship it in a British vessel for a British port. By this reshipment the dif ference in the import duty to the foreign merchant is in the ratio of 1/. 10s. to 71. 10s. Foreign mahogany pays the latter duty, colonial the former; conseque,,ily the St. Domingo and other foreign mahogany growers take especial care to naturalize their produce by a re shipment of it in English vessels. COURT CIRCULAR. In consequence of the death of the Duchess of Kent's nephew, the Prince Royal of the Belgians. her Royal Highness's di nner parties are for the prese nt postponed.
