fate of the Bill in the House of Lords. We under stand that a member of the Ponsonby family is to be the Reform candidate. The freeholders of Dorset shire gained very great honour by their exertions in the late contest ; but it is hardly necessary to tell them, that the importance of the approaching con test is, out of all proportion, greater than the last. The eyes of the people of England are upon them. If they are now lukewarm—if they betray the cause of the country at this crisis—the name of a Dorset shire man will be a reproach. But it is impossible that the spirit which actuated the electors during. the last election should now be extinct, and that the men who acted so nobly will now sit down tamely to bear the reproach of traitors to the cause of their country. No ; they will rally round the Reform candidate, and nobly perform their duty. Let no man deem his exertions insignificant. Every freeholder should act as if he considered the success of the election to depend on his exertions alone. We can never conceive so meanly of any portion of Englishmen, as that having made a great exertion to effect the salvation of their country, they should, before that object has been accomplished, exhibit a careless indifference with regard to it, or, with the fickleness of children who have laid aside one toy for another, veer round to the support of the cause against which they so recently made such vigorous exertions. This surely is not in accordance with the English character. The Dorsetshire men will feel as they ought the sacredness of the obligation they contracted at the last election to their fellow countrymen, not to desert till victory crowns their efforts by the passing of the Reform Bill. They s e iltinot allow themselves to be pointed at with the fing?; of scorn, as men who in the struggle were fals e - to the great cause. They will be true to the last, and spurn from them every man who insults their understandings by soliciting them to consent to remain slaves—to surrender their liberties and their properties to the proud and insolent borough mongers. We are sure we need say no more to prove to the freeholders of Dorsetshire the neces sity of doing their duty at this eventful crisis.— elioining Chronicle. A sort of earnest of what we may soon expect in the House of Lords was afforded last night, in an in cidental discussion on the presentation by Lord Radnor of a petition, signed by two individuals in the name and on the behalf of an ex tensive Political Union. Lord King having observed, that if the people were quiet, "it was in the c onfidence that the Reform Bill would pass; and if it should not pass, then the enemies of the House would say that it was high time to consider what was the use of the House," Lord Wynford rose to order, and said that he considered it disorderly to say that it was a question whether the House was of any use. His Lordship contended that he was perfectly in order, and that "he only said, that in case the Bill did not pass, the adversaries of the House would for that reason make it a question whether the House was of any use; and it was their Lordships' duty to take care that no such pretence should be afforded them to make it a question, more especially as he was sorry to say that this House had no great cha racter to lose." This raised something like a storm. Some Noble Lords were for taking down the words. The Marquis of Salisbury said " it was clear that atrocious attempts were made to influence the minds of men, of well-meaning men, against that House." On second thoughts the motion was with drawn ; and this was wire. Those who are most sore about reflections on their character have, gene rally, very little to lose, or such as might be lost with advantage. It is in the Old Bailey where dis cussions as to character are most edifying.—Morning Chronicle. It was remarked in Monday's Advertiser that " the passing of the Bill is, at the worst, but a ques tion of time. Pass, at last, it must, and be acted upon by the people of these realms ; and we really cannot bring ourselves to believe that any majority of the Peers can be found so thoroughly ignorant of the public feeling—so little alive to a sense of jus tice—and so destitute of regard for the peace of the country, and the existence of their own order, as to be brought, by any motive or consideration what ever, to reject a Bill which has received the sanction of ninety-nine out of every hundred of the popula tion." Alas ! we fear that we judged but too fa vourably of the patriotism and clearelieadedness of the majority of that venerable body ; for, if we have trot been greatly misinformed, there is a union of Anti-Reform Peers in embryo, whose olb• jest is to throw out the Bill, and whose ground of hope is, that the country has cooled upon the subject, and that they may safely resort to such a proceeding. They consider themselves to possess a majority of some thirty Peers, in oppo sition to the declared wishes of the King, the Commons, and the country, and of this majority it is now said, that they are determined to make that use which cannot fail to distress the King—to in volve the country in confusion, and finally to plunge it into a revolution, of which, although every one can ascertain " from whence it would come, no one knows " whither it would go." But will a majority of them be really so insane as to put in practice such an expedient, and that, too, with all the lights of our own previous history as a country, and all the lights of the present age, and of the spirit of the present times, to guide them ? We repeat what we said on Monday, that we really cannot persuade ourselves, notwith standing the strongest affirmations to the con trary, that such will prove to be the case. The rights, privileges, and immunities which the Members of the House of Lords enjoy as Peers—as a sepa rate and distinct branch of the Legislature—not to speak of the influence derived by them from their extensive wealth and property—are things of no small value in themselves, and quite sufficient, it must be allowed, to gratify the vanity and ambition, as e ell as to satisfy the rational desires of any body of the kind ; and are we to believe that they will not only endanger the tranquillity of the country, 19 u t also, what is evidently dearer to some of their Lordships, the continued possession of these sub stantial benefits to themselves and their descendants ? And will any one have the hardihood to tell us, that these rights and privileges would not be en dangered by the throwing out of the Reform Bill ? Has any of the body the vanity to imagine, or the blindness to conceive, that the country, when foiled in its Constitutionai endeavours to procure a redress of its grievances, would not have recourse to the measures without the letter, but not beyond the spirit, of the British Constitution ? And when it has thus gained the great object of its ambition, would it, does any one imagine, sit down calmly under the insults which it had received, and the unpardonable provocation it had met with ? Would it tamely submit to the weapons which had wou nded it remainin g in the hands of its sworn and inveterate enemies, or, like a foolish people, alike unmindful of the lessons of the past, and the possible dangers of the future, furnish them with fresh arms to assail it ? We shall not ans wer these questio ns ; bat, lest there should be any one so foolish as to imagine that in the event.— which Heaven protect us from f—of the Reform Bill being thrown out, there could be a possibility of a struggle for even one day, between the Re formers and Anti-Reformers, it may be worth while to state that there are no grounds to authorise such an imagination. The country is not divided, as it was on the Catholic question, on that of Reform—there is not a strong party on one side, and a nearly equally strong party on the other — no—it is only the Legislature, not the gauntry, that is divided. The count!), is united, and bound up in one solemn determivation, even as one manes- its whole phy sical force, as well as almost its whole intellect, ore on the gide of Refozm ; and where then could there be a possibility of a a.truggle ? Could a few Peers and Commoners put down the whole country either by force or b f y pe h rsuasion However, as there are some persons oohs the qhues then of Reform, let the country again set em right—let there be meetings, petitioese and semen.- etrarsees,—end let it be clearly pp4ye(4 without de- lay, that when a people are determined to be free, they will have their freedom, at whatever sacrifice of toil, conquest of difficulties, or risk of danger.— Morning Advertiser. Since writing the above, we have been gratified beyond description by finding that the Livery of London, in redemption of their former privileges, and in justification of the patriotic feeling by which they have been always actuated, are about to as semble in Common Hall, for the purpose of peti tioning the Lords to pass the Reform Bill without delay. A requisition has been numerously, as well as respectably, signed by the Livery, requesting the Lord Mayor to convene a meeting for this purpose; dud there fs as little doubt of his favourable decision in the matter as there is of that of the Livery, always the staunch advocates of Reform, and always willing to sacrifice their individual interests for the public good. It will be a glorious Reform meet ing, we doubt not, and all the true friends of Re form will make a point of being present ; but this meeting will not alone be sufficient—the metropoli tan districts must meet—the whole country must —and give the lie to the cruel assertion, that its feeling in favour of Reform has cooled. Up, Eng lishmen, and be doing ! Your rights—your just rights and privileges are at stake—and if ye do not stir now—all may be lost !—Morning Advertiser. The Livery of London have very properly taken the lead, in moving, by petition, the House of Lords to pass the Bill about to be transmited from the Commons. The Livery of London ! 'We wish the House of Lords and the people of England to know precisely who the Livery are. The Livery of Lon don have frequently been confounded with the Cor poration of London, though they are distinct bodies. But, which is of more consequence, the Livery of London are, as regards the City Representatives in Parliament, the only constituent body—the only body entitled to choose or vote for the Representatives ; and as by the Reform Bill their privileges will be abridged, and their numbers be diminished, how noble is their unanimous support of a Bill by which this is to be effected ! What an example to the Lords themselves to relinquish privileges to which they have no just claim or title, the nomination of -Mem bers in the Commons House of Parliament ! Our Paper of to-day contains the requisition to the Lord Mayor to call the meeting, with which his Lordship will, we have no doubt, joyfully comply. And now, by an easy transition we pass from the Livery of London to the people of England—from the sample to the substance of British metal. People of England, you are well aware that the House of Lords have hitherto had the Mouse of Commons —that which should be your House of Commons— in their pocket ,. . For example, the Marquis of llertford has, we believe, had seven Members of the House in his pocket: he could carry them shout with him ; he could stake them at a gaining table, if he frequented such places. Other Peers, and even other Commoners, could do the same. They have your house in their pockets. Do you wish for a people's House of Commons, or a pocket House of Commons ? Your enemies say, you wish still for a pocket House of Commons, and not for a people's House of Commons. Meet, like the Livery of London, and tell them which you wish for, and which you are determined to have, cost what it may. Notwithstanding there never was an House of Commons (chosen, as it has necessarily been, under the trammels just described) which so nearly represented your will and wishes as the present House of Commons, and notwithstanding this House will transmit the Bill for a Reform in Parliament to the other House by a vast majority, that other House, it is said, will still doubt of your inclinations (we know not why) unless you meet yourselves, and inform it, by petition, that you will no longer have a pocket House of Com mons. Meet, then, we say ; meet and tell the House of Lords, as it wishes for information on the subject, that you will henceforth choose your own representatives yourselves, according to the tenour of that Bill which is about to be presented at their Lordships' bar. It is not often that we attempt to move you, and never when we have made the at tempt have you frustrated our wishes, or failed of your public duty. But now you must meet, or you are treacherous,—you betray your faithful and labo rious adherents in Parliament. The Bill has passed, or all but passed the Commons. Do you mean to desert it ? Ask yourselves the question. No : let it float into the House of Lords, borne by the breath and acclamations of millions,—or it may sink, —the Lords may reject it. They may say it is not your Bill, you wish for the continuance of a pocket House of Commons; and in that case a pocket house of Commons is all that you deserve. " The game's a-foot :" Reform and King William be the tr y. An unexpected death has thrown open the county of Dorset for a contest. A Bankes—we know not which of the family—starts as a candi date for a pocket Parliament. We do not say that he is a pocket Member himself; but he means to vote for pocket Members and for the system. He is to be opposed by Mr. Ponsonby, the present Member for Poole, who is for people's Parliaments. We shall see which the freeholders of Dorset will choose. But let not the Lords be deceived. We oust, and are convinced, that they will hear the voice, and sympathise in the feelings of the people of England. But were it otherwise, be they as sured that their rejection of the Bill will not pre vent a thorough Reform of Parliament. Were we, indeed, desirous of vast changes—did we look to the adoption of wild theories, or the subversion and confusion of existing powers and influences—the first step to such innovations would be the rejection of the present Bill by the House of Lords.—Times. ON READING THE TITLES OF THE NEW PEERS IN FRIDAY'S GAZETTE Baton Dunneore, Baron Poltimore, Baron Tem plemore." _ . A voice of thunder greets my ears, Repeated o'er and o'er and o'er ; It says—More Peers, more Peers, snore l'eers ; And England echoes—Mon•, more, more! J. 13. At the Drawing-room on Monday an occur rence took place, with reference to the reception of a lady of title, which has given rise to much conversation in the higher circles. A Peeress (not recently married), whose conduct in private life has ❑ot always been of the strictest moral character, despite of the remonstrances of her friends, would be present on this occasion. Her MAJESTY, we understand, treated her in such a manner as to evince in the circle of the Court that determination to discoun tenance doubtful characters, even in the highest rank, which was so deservedly lauded in the demeanour of Queen c i/ARL o TT E.—Morning Paper. TIIE ROTHSAY CASTLE.-It is now ascer tained, beyond all doubt, that the number of passenger♦ on board this steamer, at the time of her sailing from Liverpool, exceeded one hundred and ten, to which must be added the Captain and mite, two seamen, the engi neer, the steward and his wife, a black boy, and four musicians, making in the whole not less than one hundred .and twenty-two souls, probably more, as many persons are supposed to have gone on board the ill-fated boat with out registering their names. Out of these only twenty two have been saved, leaving a certain total of one hundred and two individuals who were swallowed by the remorse less waves.—Chester Chronicle. On Saturday afternoon, as some children were playing together on the steps of a house in Brighton, one of them, having some damsons, said playfully, to a little boy naed CHARLES HOLFORD, Open your mouth and shut your and see what God will send you." The boy immediately hei back his head, and, shutting his ,ears, opened his mouth, wheii the other dropped a plum into i,L, which slipped into his gullet, and stuck fast, and before medical assistance could be procured the poor little (allow was a corpse. An inquest was held the next day on the body—Verdict 4cci4ntal death." ANTIaUVry Op FIGURE interesting art is or very ancient ipvention, and appears to have been practised by the Cgyptans at a very early period. HanonoTus speaks of a curious breast-plate or ,c,uirass, covered with linen, which was sent by King AT,..iki.4; to the Laeedemonians, and which was highly or namented Witilp7Jrnerous figures of animals woven into its texture. The historian ;adds, that each of its apparently threads was actually compoed of 300 filaments, which, under a careful examination, were ail distinctly visible.— Pr. Lardner's Cabinet C;ielorcedia, Vol, XXII. MARTIN'S ILLUSTRATIONS of the BIBLE, We have just seen the two latest published en gravings of this fine artist's illustrations of the ear lier portions of the Scriptural history. The first engraving pourtrays the remorse of Adam and Eve after the commission of their first fatal offence,when they discovered that they were naked, and clad themselves in vine -leaves; the second, their expul sion from Paradise, which was " With dreadful faces thronged, and fiery arms," while all earth was in uproar, and the war of destruc tion among animals was already in full activity. No thing can be sublimer than the character of these two Illustrations, except the subject of them, to which Martin has done all possible justice. The countenances of Adana and Eve are in the finest and purest style of expression, and the scenes by which they are "surrounded have an air of grandeur and immensity which this consummate master of space can alone give to his landscapes. Altogether, the prints are worthy of Mr. Martin's established repu tation. PRICES OF THE STOCKS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red 3 per Cent. Cons. ...... ...99 % 3 A% 3 per Cent.

As several Papers are daily returned to The Sun Office, from the General Post-office, in consequence of the Subscribers• ad dresses not being correctly written by the Newsmen, it is parti cularly requested that Newsmen may in future print or Write their own address on the covers, in order the more readily to faci litate the regular transmission of the Papers. It frequently hap.. pens that owing to this omission, Subscribers when changing their places of residence, have occasion to write to The Sun Office on the subject, forgetting that the names of their News Agents are far more likely to be known to themselves than at the Office. The error seems to originate in the idea that London Newspapers are supplied from the Office direct, in the same way as Provincial Papers. This is not the case. The distribution of the London Newspapers is a distinct business, employing upwards of a thou sand persons daily and weekly. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The letter of " Censor " is too long and too personal for our columns. We disapprove the conduct of the Mayor of Liver pool, with regard to the celebration of the - Coronation in that town, as much as he can possibly do ; still this will not justify us in giving insertion to strictures, which, if not absolutely libellous, yet closely border on it. t LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1831 The death of the Right Hon. J. CALCRAFT having occasioned a vacancy in the representa tion for Dorsetshire, one of the BAN KEs's, fa ther or son, will of course offer himself as can didate. Possibly, too, he may expect to suc ceed. But this must not be. The freeholders must unite to a man against him. They must be astir, early and late ; on the watch in every nook and cranny of the county ; form themselves into associations ; appoint Com mittees and Sub-Committees ; for on the issue of the contest for Dorsetshire will, in no slight degree, depend the success of the Reform ques tion in the House of Lords. At present the majority of the Peers—who are about as well acquainted with the real state of the country, as the Hon. Member for Preston with the com monest rudiments of grammar—entertain a no tion that the people are disgusted with the Reform Bill, and that consequently it may be thrown out with impunity. If, then, the free holders of a populous, influential county like Dorsetshire, resolve on returning either of the B&NKES'S, they will strengthen this illusion, and give the House of Lords a plausible pretext for rejecting the measure alto gether. But will they commit such an act of political suicide ? Never ? Their past con duct vouches for their present. Night and day they will bear in mind, that the cause of their country is entrusted to their hands ; that Dor setshire is another Clare, destined to carry a greater Emancipation Act ; that if they waver all is lost, if they persevere all is gained. The present is a tremendous crisis. The eyes of a mighty nation, resolved at all hazards to be free, are fixed on one cardi nal point—Reform ; their attention is directed to one instrument by which its success may be ensured—the election for Dorsetshire. Never was county so honoured! The Dorset free holders actually have it in their power to eman cipate not only themselves, but their country. The voice of a unanimous nation ca ll s on t h e m to do so. It implores them as husbands, as fathers, as frn4s, as citizens, sternly to do their duty, and earn the deathless gratitude of a regenerated people. Passing from particulars to generals, from the inhabitants of one county to those of an entire nation, we call on the people promptly to meet, and energetically to express their determination to obtain Reform. To exclaim in a voice of thunder that may penetrate the inmost recesses of the House of Lords, and startle even the deafest Peers on their well cushioned seats, WE WILL BE FREE. Unless they do this, they will even yet be defrauded of Reform. Plots and counterplots, we can assure them, are hourly going forward among the aristo cratic ultras; secret meetings are in progress ; pro mises, in the event of a change of Ministry, are flying about as thick as the dead leaves on a gusty autumn morning ;—intrigues, in short, of all sorts and fashions are at this very moment in activity among the Peers to defraud the people of their rights. Let the latter 'then meet, and remonstrate, and thereby defeat their Jesuitical machinations. It is more incumbent on them to do so than ever. Events are fast hastening to a crisis. The torrent is bear ing us irresistibly onwards. We are al ready within the rapids. The two hostile armies, the Reformers and the Boroughmongers, like the Poles and the Russians, are daily drawing closer to each other ; consequently not an hour is to be lost. Meet, then countrymen, meet, supplicate, re monstrate ; lift up your voices from one end of the kingdom to the other, that they may be heard even above the din of the storm that is brewing against you. Reform or Revolution ; bear this perpetually in mind, for this, at the eleventh hour, is the true state of the question. Our readers will find by our House of Com mons report that four new Members are to be added to the House, one for each of the Welsh counties of Denbigh and Carmarthen ; and one for each of the towns of Ashton and Minchin hampton. From the thin attendance of Members, the Government were on Monday evening nearly placed in an awkward position in regard to the Bill for the Encouragement of Sugar Refineries. This Bill, which is the same as has been renewed annually since 1828, has for its object the pro motion of manufacturing industry at home, by giving facilities to the admission of foreign sugars for refinery, a branch of trade which has of late years increased considerably in Germany, the Netherlands, and other parts of the Continent. The effect of the Bill has been to augment the trade in England also, and much capital is already invested in it, on the faith of the permanence of the law for its encouragement. To have in terrupted the progress of the Bill would, there fore, not only have been injurious to a valuable branch of industry, but would seriously have affected those who had risked their property on the faith of its continuance as usual. The West India interest called for enquiry into their condition before renewing the Bill, but assigned no satisfactory reason why a bene ficial measure of a distinct character was to be impeded, because a difficulty exists in generally improving the prospects of the Colonists. It is the clear interest of the people of this country that the trade of sugar refining should be pre served here, instead of being driven to Hamburg or Antwerp ; and if the Colonists have declined to attempt the operation themselves, it is the more reason why they ought not to complain of foreign sugars being availed of for the purpose. The Colonists have, we think, good grounds to call for a reduction of the duties on West India' produce, as part of a general measure favourable to the British consumer of similar produce, from what country soever, but beyond this the Go vernment are bound, by their duty to the British consumer, to resist all claims for favour, like the bounty on West India refined sugar, which are injurious to the interests of the public. If the assertion that the Bill afforded an en couragement to the foreign slave trade were capable of proof, it would certainly be a strong objection to it, but the allegation does not appear to be well supported. In a reformed Parliament the claims of the Colonists will receive their due attention, but not before. At present the Colo nists are grievously oppressed without the mother country being benefitted—and it is morally im possible that such a state of things can long exist. The following are extracts from Brussels Pa pers received this morning : BaossEr.s, Sztr. 11.—General Belliard and Sir R. Adair left Brussels yesterday to go to Antwerp. A French Cabinet messenger arrived here yesterday with des patches from Paris, and set out again soon afterwards with despatches for the Hague. The 39th French Regi ment o f the line, which is at Namur, sets out to-morrow on its return to France, and will he in garrison at Quesney. The regiment belonging to the brigade of General Tho loze was at Tongres. On the Bth in the morning a French Regiment of Light Cavalry arrived at Namur. It is to go into cantonments in the environs of Dinant, without doubt to complete a sanitary cordon, which is to be formed by the French troops on the eastern frontier from Montomedy and Longroy. Accounts from Alaestricht say that trees continue to be cut down for the purpose of pallisading and fortifying that town. The Noord Star gives an extract from a pamphlet pub lished last month at Amsterdam, and of which translations into the English, French, and German were to appear soon afterwards. It is a kind of manifesto of the people of the United Netherlands to the nations of Europe. Avr, SEPT. B.—The inhabitants of this town are greatly burdened by the number of soldiers quartered on t h e m in consequence of the unintercepted p usage of troops belonging to the army of the North on their return to France. The first brigade of cuirassiers of the division of General Gerard arrived to-day. The French garrison of the citadel is very considerable. It is commanded by a young Colonel of a very active disposition ; the troops are as if the enemy were close at hand ; the gates are not opened in the morning till the approaches to them have been reconnoitered. VIENNA, Auc. 30.—His Majesty is coming to Schon brunn to give audience as usual. Though preparations are making for the reception of the Imperial Family at the Belvedere, the Emperor is said to be resolved to reside during the winter at the Imperial Palace called the Burg. The health of the capital is good, though signs of cholera have appeared. Experienced physicians he re have observed, that f o r some t i m e past all serious disorders be g in with symptoms cha racteristic of cholera, which seems to indicate climate in flonice. Though we cannot expect that Vienna will re main exempt from the visitation of this disorder, we may reasonably hope, from the judicious measures of the Go. vernment, and the readiness of the inhabitants to second them, and their regular mode of living, that its ravages will be less extensive and of shorter duration than in other plsees, In Hungary, the case is different. The exces cessive repugnance of the people to all obedience, and the notion that the physicians wanted to prison the sick, have led to dreadful annoyances. In the district of Brison for instance, out of nearly 6,000 sick, not one recovered. The same has been the case in Larb, where out of 20,000 inha. bitants, 800 died ; in Comma, Debreczyn, &c. It may readily be supposed, that the physicians keep at a distance when their exertions are rewarded by showers of stones. Near Bruck, on the Leytha, a band of a hundred smug glers lately attempted to force their way through the mili tary cordon. A formal battle ensued, in which the smug glers were totally defeated; many of them were killed, and fourteen who were taken prisoners were executed. As they were well armed, the troops suffered not a little from them resistance. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The Loan CHANCELLOR sat this morning at ten o'clock, accompanied by Lords BYRoN and CARBERY, to hear Scotch appeals. NAPIER V. CRONIBIE. This appeal from the Court of Sessions (in which the question was the liability of the appellant to pay compound interest on the principal purchase morey of an estate bought by him in Scotland under the peculiar circum stances of the case) occupied their Lordships the whole morning in argument, at the conclusion if which The Loan CHANCELLOR postponed giving judgment till he had had an opportunity of consulting the Learned Judges, who had decided the case of " Jolly v. M•Neil," or the late Lord Chief Baron (Al-xander),who, in the case of " v. 11I'Neil," in the House of Lords, had re versed that decision. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The Wheat trade was extremely dull this morning, and very few sales of either new or old were effected, still fine samples sup ports Monday's prices ; inferior sorts continue unsaleable. Very fine parcels of Malting Barley support Monday's quotations, but a great deal of what is on sale is so bad in quality, our maltsters will not purchase it; such, consequently, is from Is. to 2s. per. qr. lower. Oats were heavy in sale, but not cheaper. Beans and Peas support the prices of last market day. •RRIVALS. I Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour. English Irish Foreign brls. SCOTCH MARKETS.

We have no arrivals of consequence, with the exception of a Malta mail, which sailed 29th August. The accounts received yesterday from Belgium are favourable. We understand that Prince d'Arernberg has arrived at the Hague, after having had a communication with King Leopold. This Nobleman, who is one of the first landholders in Belgium, has kept aloof in the late po litical events, and his coining forward again o❑ the political stage argues favourable for the result of the negociation. It is also understood that an exchange of prisoners is going to take place between the Dutch and Belgian Governments. Extract of a letter from Laguayra, dated July 17: —" The affairs to the windward, headed by General Menayas, have been settled without bloodshed, and the authority of Venezuela, under her constitution and laws, again re-established. Every thing and every part of Venezuela is now entirely quiet, but it will take some time to render every thing regular and establish confidence." AMERICAN TRADE ON THE COAST OF MEXlCO.—Ex tract of a letter from Lieutenant Montgomery to E. H. Cammanne, Consul of the United States, at Tampico, 4th July, on board the ship Erie :—" Having just arrived on this coast, for the purpose of protecting the views of our Government by affording all necessary protection to the commerce of the United States, and property of her citizens, I will thank you to furnish me with any information you may possess calculated to promote the effectual accom plishment of that object." ANSWER FROM THE AMERICAN CONSUL AT TA3IPICO, JWLY 5.—" In reply I have the honour to inform you that the commerce and flag of the United States remain re main respected, and do no not require any further pro tection; the most perfect tranquillity prevails throughout the country, and there is no expectation of a politicalchange." THE FUNDS. The Funds continue steady at present. Consols, which left off yesterday at 82i 1 : fur the account, opened at 82, since which the market appears to be looking up, and Consols are at present 824 a• The French question, in regard to withdrawing the whole of the troops from Belgium, as well as the expectation of a favourable result of the pending negociations, has had some effect on the Funds, and no doubt will tend to further improvements. The Dutch steamer is expected in the course of the day, but we do not believe it will bring later accounts than those already received from Hamburg, without an express ar rives from Berlin to Amsterdam. In the Foreign /llarket little or nothing doing as yet. HALF•PAST ONE. The contents of the commercial express from Paris is not as yet known, but it is reported that the French Funds are lower, which has had an effect on our Funds, which were, in the early part of the morning, 82H, have since receded to 82-i ;at present they are 82i, and for money 82i. The Dutch steamer has not as yet arrived. We hear that the private letters from Paris this morn ing are of a favourable nature, and all was going on well. In the foreign market Russian stock has improved to 914. Report says, that a loan of 300,0001. was yesterday concluded for the young Queen of Portugal. When the last accounts left Hamburg, great fear was entertained that the cholera would reach that city, ac cordingly they have divided it into seven districts, and a lazarette is placed with two doctor■ in each.

BOGLE CORBET.--The distinguished suc cess of this last work of Mr. GA LT, the celebrated author of " The Annals of the Parish," is to be attributed to the amusing exhibition which is made in the story of the pe culiarities of mercantile life, as seen respectively in Eng land, Scotland, America, and the West Indies. Of these materials this shrewd and observant writer has constructed a tale, which for dry humour and knowledge of life, has few rivals in our language. The salmon-fishings on the Forfarshire coast, by stake•nets, have of late been very successful.

A man who was employed in cleaning the cage in which the lion Wallace is confined, imprudently patted him on the head several times, which the animal appeared to take in good part, and in return licked the hand that caressed him. At length the lion suddenly caught the man's arm in his teeth, and in his at tempting to withdraw it, the flesh and muscles were dread fully lacerated ; and ere he could extricate it the animal actually bit oft' and swallowed the unfortunate keeper's hand ! He was i m mediately tatcen to the Infirmary, where it was found necessary to amputate his arm, which was skilfully performed by Mr. DANIEL, and it is hoped the man's life will be saved. —Felix Farley's Bristol Journal, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)
