The gallows has been tried for ages, and has not cured the disease. The Anti-Corn-law Conference meet to-day, and they have a noble work to perform. Sir R. PEEL and the Tories have refused to serve and save the country, and if the Conference cannot overrule the Premier and his friends we shall begin to despair of England. Upwards of ten months has Sir R. PEEL been in office, having assumed it under the loftiest pretensions and most excited hopes. Every day since trade has been growing worse and worse ; poverty and pauperism have increased; so that his admi nistration, which began so proudly, seems likely to be called the Disastrous Administration. In Parliament he has been uniformly triumphant, and every measure on which he could boast of success seems to have cheated the hopes, or added to the dis tress of the people. Not only has distress continually increased, discontent that was lulled by hope is again gathering in black and stormy masses, roused up by disappointment. Our accounts from the manufactur ing districts are of the most gloomy description. One class after another is sinking into pauperism, and Sir R. PEEL, it is ,said, must apply his Income-tax to re lieve the paupers. Under these painful and trying circumstances the Anti- Corn-law ," League again assembles in conference. We look on the proceedings as of serious and solemn. import. We earnestly pray that they may be equal to the crisis which brings them together. Half measures will no longer do. Flattery and false language can deceive none but themselves. If, while . they denoUnce the Corn-law as unrighteous and iniquitous, they preach obedience to such a law, they will need no enemy to )overcome them. If, while they meet in an extraordi nary convention, to set aside, as they hope, the deliberate decision of the Parliament, they shall profess a love' and reverence for the body whose decrees they deride and properly wish to upset, they will betray themselves. They come to Lon don to impugn the wisdom of Parliament, they meet to show that it has done, and is doing, a grievous wrong to the people, and aless they express that fearlessly and honestly, they will to nothing. What resolutions they may adopt is not for its to suggest ; but if they are not now prepared to set the unrighteous bread-taxers at defiance, to stand firmly and exclu sively upon the justice of their cause, .they will not be equal to the occasion. As there are now great complaints' about the in crease of the linen duties in France and the expected woollen duties in Germany, it seems'appropriate to re mind the public that an individual tinder and a nation are not enriched by what they send away, but by what they receive. It the. French will give us their wine without taking anything in exchange for it, so much the better. If our linen-yarn spinners and woollen-cloth weavers were to send abroad ten times as much as at present, and were not to bring back an equal quantity of goods, they would be losers by the increase of trade. They would la bour more and get less. We venture on this ground to throw out a doubt whether the increase of import duties in other' countries, about ,vhich there is t disposition to make such an outcry, be of any mate rial injury either to individual manufacturers or to the nation. We would venture even to suggest that export duties, such as our duty on coals, which pre vents other nations obtaining them, are much more injurious to foreign nations than any import duties levied on foreign commodities. Too much importance is attached, we think, to the import duties levied in other countries. We know it is expected that the French linen yarn manufacturer, paying no such duty, will sell his yarn at a lower price than the yarn imported, which will thus be banished from the French market. Does experience justify that view ? Did our heavy, our prohibitory duties, keep out French silks and gloves ? Did the enormous duties in France keep out thread for lace ? We affirm that they did not; the smuggler was too much for the Custom-house officer, and the result of the duty was only to raise the price of the article to the consumer. Experience, more over, informs us that the sure effect of high protecting duties, is to make those in whose favour they are enacted negligent, indolent, and unenterprising, while they stimulate those whose production they are in tended to check to renewed exertions. Against there two opposite motives duties to any extent are almost unavailing, and therefore we beg leave to doubt whe ther, in a very short time, the effect would not be that English linen yarn would be sold in France, in spite of the duty, cheaper than French linen yarn. On this view we are very much inclined to con-. elude that heavy import duties on foreign commodities, whatever may be the intention of levying them—and we are not now to learn that the intentions of statesmen are seldom realised by their laws—do not much injure the imports they were intended to annihilate. Our heavy duties on French silks did not annihilate the silk manufactures of France. The heavy duties on our manufactures in the United States have not de stroyed them. Provided the country from which the import of the commodities is to be checked does not play the game of its opponent, by inflicting corres ponding and retaliatory duties—for example, in our case, on French wines and brandies, or on American wheat and flour—and does not, therefore, prevent the taxing country from sending its goods hither, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to prevent the im portation of our goods. The French and the Americans will want to be paid for their brandies and their flour, and the certain way, therefore, in spite cf fiscal regulations, to force a market for our linen yarn in France is, to lower the duties on French commo dities, and allow France freely to send her goods hither. We know that such opinions do not suit the frightened, short-sighted, and perhaps greedy, manu facturers. But we are not now to learn—with the ruins of the mercantile system hanging about us— that manufacturers are not to be trusted to dictate laws which affect the general welfare. We there fore do not pay quite so much attention to their fears and their complaints on this point as they think they deserve. According to our view, treaties of commerce and reciprocal duties, about which we hear so much, are of very little importance. It is not possible for other nations to injure us by their regulations, if we do not injure ourselves. It is theimports, we repeat, not the exports, which enrich nations and individuals ; and it' our rulers do . not by stupid regulations keep out imports, as in the case of corn, exports will soon go to pay for them. There is not a Frenchman nor a Yankee who will give us a hogshead of wine or a barrel of flour without getting from us an equivalent. The Ministers did not choose to make a House of Commons last night, and there are many surmises as to the cause. For our parts we scarcely believe that they are frightened at Mr. WALLACE'S motion, what ever effect the state of the country may have on their nerves ; neither do we credit the stories of a rupture in the Ministry; nevertheless, there must have been some strong reason why, at this period of the Session, Sir ROBERT PEEL would not have a House made on a Monday evening. He wants money—he says he cannot get on without the supplies—and yet he threw away a night. Is there a screw loose ? INDIA AND CHINA. Ample details of the highly important news received yesterday from India and China, will be found in an other part of The Sun. We shall here content cur selves with some observations upon the leading points. The news from Bombay usually extends over a month, but in consequence of the detention of the previous mail to the 3d of May, and the sailing of the present one on the 23d of that month, in order to escape the first burst of the monsoon, the intelligence now extends over a period of twenty days. Upon the whole, how ever, the news is exceedingly satisfactory and important. The tranquillity which has so long reigned in the Bri tish dominions in the East remains undisturbed, not withstanding the reasonable fears entertained of the con trary, on account of the recent reverses in Affghanista'i. In that country our arms are again successful. Major- General PoLLoca, had safely effected a junction with the heroic General SALE at Jellalabad, after forcing the Khyber Pass. They were both preparing to march upon Caubul, to take vengeance AU' the murder of the Envoy, and the treacherous massacre of our troops. General ENGLAND, having received positive orders from General 'COTT to join him with his forces at Canclahar, marched from Quettah, whither he had retreated, and forced the Pass in gallant st)le, without the loss of a single man. Colonel BOLTON'S brigade had arrived at THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 5, 1842. the mouth of the Khyber Pass, and General POLLOCK sent reinforcements to assist him in forcing it. His success was considered certain. The ascassination of the mi serable SHAH SOOJAII is confirmed. An interesting nar rative of the circumstances of his murder will be found among our Affghanistan intelligence. His succcsoor FurrEa JUNG was also murdered a few days after wards. General ELPHINSTONE is dead. He sank, on the 23d of April, from sheer exhaustion, having been severely ill when the ill-fated garrison quitted Caubul. Most of the unfortunate garrison at Ghuznee were mur dered by the Ghazees. Colonel PALMER and most of the officers were made prisoners, in the expectation of obtaining heavy ransoms for them. The slaughter of the privates was frightful. Not more than 100 of these are supposed to have escaped. The survivors of the Caubul massacre are still in the power of AKBAR itHAN. They are tolerably well treated, but the ransoms de manded for them are enormous. Major REID was preparing to force the Bolan Pass on the sth of May. He had a convoy of treasure, and 4,000 camels. General ENGLAND brought I o,oooCster ling in gold and dollars to General No'rT at Candahar. The real war of retribution on the part of the, British army in Affghanistan was expected to commence about the middle of June. The Bombay Times of the 23d of May, speaking of the conduct of, the new Governor-General, whose abruptness of tpan ner at first alarmed the civil service officials, says---" The strictest secresy has been maintained as to the policy about to be pursued towards Atfeitanistan; and it is probable indeed that beyond the resolution to cut the connection as speedily as pos sible, Lord ELLENDOROUGH has resolved nothing as to details, leaving himself to be guided by the chapter of accidents. To one desirous of quitting the country this is probably the wisest,. or rather the only really wise course that can he pursued. Our prisoners and hostages must at any rate be recovered ; if this can be done with out advancing into the country our impression is that no advance will be made. That no new campaign for 1843 has been resolved upon, may be inferred from the fact, hat no preparations of any sort are now on foot fur this. Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S proclamations, in refer ence to the surrender of Ghuznee—the advance on Jella labad—the victory of Sir ROBERT SALE over Amman KIIAN, and the future honours which await the garrison, have been received throughout India with one bust of universal admiration. They bode a vigour and decision of purpose essential to a good Government in India, ned which, conjoined with our knowledge of the char acter of the Governor-General, has excited the most elevated hopes of the auspiciousness of his rule." The domestic news from Bombay is not, however, v:sy cheering. Cholera , was raging in and around Calcutta, Bombay, and the Deccan. There were ninety British merchant-ships in the harbour of Bombay one half of which were without freight or destination. Never before was the shipping interest of India suffer ing so severely. There has been some fighting in China, in which the British blue-jackets have been again victorious. (hi the 10th of March, about 12,000 Chinese troops attempted to drive the British out of Ningpo, but were repulsed with terrible slaughter. The gates were left open, and they were allowed to reach the market-place before the guns opened upon them. They ILA leaving 250 dead bodies within the walls. They were hotly pursued by the 49th Regiment, which had not returned from the pursuit when the despatch detailing the attack was written. On the news reaching Hong Kong, Plenipotentiary Sir, POTTINGER ordered Admiral Sir W. PARKER and Major-General Sir IL GOUGH to prom ed at once to Ningpo, to follow up the repulse of the Chinese with effective measures. Chinhae was also attacked by the Chinese, and an attempt made by sampans (fire-boats) to burn the British shipping. Here also they were re pulsed, with the loss of thirty men % and two mandarins killed. The main body of the Chinese army was re ported to be in a state of mutiny for want of pay, and as the provinces invaded were ordered by the EMPEROR to bear all the expenses of defending themselves, the disaffection among them was very great There is little doubt that if the war be pushed on with vigour, as soon as a fleet call sail to the northward it will be brought to a speedy termination. In all conflicts with us the Chinese have found us invincible, and the EMPEROR must by this time tremble at the prospect of receiving a visit from the blue jackets at his Imperial residence at Pekin, Most of the French Opposition Journals published the letter of Captain BOUET to the Courrier Francais, with observations against the treaties for the right of search. As Captain BOUEVEI letter supplies them with many arguments similar to those which they have for some time been using, they do not fail to set them forth in a very prominent manner, whilst they pass over in silence those portions of the letter in which the prin ciple of the treaties is approved of, whilst the mode of execution, on the part of the English cruisers, is reprobated in terms which some persons, taking into consideration the position in which 31. I3ouET stands with respect to the Government, may think strange. It is evident, however, from the channel chosen for the publication of this letter, that it was unauthorised by the Government. It remains to be seen: whether the course which M. BOUET has thought proper to adopt will meet with censure from the Ministry. The Debuts adds, that " the Ministry, in sending back ,Captain Boum' to his station, where he is speedily to arrive, suffi ciently proves its desire to watch and repress abuses which may be the sad, but frequently inevit-ble, conse quences of the conventions entered into for the sup pression of the slave-trade." The Presse, says the letter, is impartial, and furnishes unanswerable arguments in favour of the abolition of the treaties for the right of search, whilst at the same time it tends to remove the illusions of the alliance with England. The Sentinelle of Toulon sass—" A Marseilles journal an nounces that General Bugeaud will shortly arrive at Toulon. This assertion is incorrect. Tte Governor-General does not think of quitting Algeria.

A letter from Peru in the German papers states that a dreadful fire burst out lately in the salt works of Nowa Ussal, in Russia, the ancient property of the Strogonoff family. The flames first appeared in the house of one of the workmen, and communicating almost immediately to some hay, gained such head, that it was impossible to master them. The conflagra tion lasted three days, and reduced to vile, everything within a range of 21 versts (nearly two miles). A great number of salt pits, in wood and stone, all the manufactories, 15 stores filled with salt, 30,0(10 cordes of wood, and the ancient and ma jestic cathedral, the stone dwellings and offices of the various employers, between 500 and 600 houses, and all that they con tained, fell a prey to the flames.— Galignani's Messenger.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Although the extent of business during the whole day was but of small moment, prices of the Stocks were exceedingly well supported ; Consols leaving off 91i 911 for the opening, ex div. ; Reduced, 91i 92 ; Bank Stock, 166 167 ; Exchequer Bills experienced a further advance, the Old Bills bearing a premium of 46 48, and the New ones 43 45. The prices of Foreign Securities were a trifle higher than on Saturday. Belgian, 104 102 k ; Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 511 51i ex div. ; the Five per Cents., 101+ .1 101 i ; anisb, 81 82 ; and Brazilian, 64 66. The quotation f9r Mexican was 36i 361. The Share Market has been more animated, and pur chases more extensively made than of late. These have been almost exclusively confined to investment, the pre sent prices of the funds rendering these securities far preferable, as in the majority of cases they yield a better interest :—London and Birmingham were 176 178 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 49 50 ; Great Western, 86 88 ; the Half Shares, 611 61i ; South Western, 60 61 ; North Midland, 59f soi ; the New Shares, 30 30f ; South Eastern and Dover, 23i 24 ; the Scrip, 3 4 ; Eastern Counties, 8f 9 ; Northern and Eastern, 39 40 ; Blackwall, 9 9} ; and Brighton, 34 3.5 i.

The Bank of England no longer, for the present at least, affords the public the aecomur 'dation of receiving light sovereigns in sums of 201. to 801., in consequence of the rotunda being required to pay dividends ; they promise, however, to resume it as early as possible. It has been justly observed that the time which has elapsed since the proclamation has been amply sufficient for the discovery of some other office in which the coin could be exchanged. It is true that the bullion dealers will purchaso, but by . selling to them the extra loss is nearly a shilling in every 20/. It is to be hoped that the opportunity will be again afforded by the Bank almost immediately, the pressure for dividend warrants not continuing beyond two or three days, when they might be transferred with less inconvenience to some other part of the building. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The mai ket continues exceedingly firm:' bui without any particular feature. The details of the political intelligence from India have given general satisfaction, and the general impression appears to be that the war will shortly be brought to a conclusion more satisfactorily and with less t xpense than had been anticipated. Consols are 911.3 91N for the Opening ex dividend; Three per Cents. Re duced, 914 91i ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.

The transactions in the Foreign Market have been—Dutch Five. per Cents., 101*; the Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51i ; and Brazilian, 65 Mexican is quoted, 36 1 4. The demand for Shares has been good, and purchases to some extent have been made in London and Birmingham Quarters, 46%; Great Western, 86, the Quarters, 61 % South Western, 60% ; South Eastern, 23%; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 44k ; (heat North of England, 77%; Midland Counties, 70, the Quarter Shares, 17% ; and_North Mid land. 59k. The distrust occasioned by the Mexican affair, is not in the least degree mitigated, and dealings in the bonds are exceed ingly limited. Colombian, 22% 2244 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 21, and the Three per Cents., 21g. The letters by the Overland Mail, hare been delivered this morning, but from the short period which has elapsed since the despatch of that immediately preceding, contain but little corn mereill intelligence. It is to be regretted that no improvement is to be noticed in the demand for European goods, but, on the contrary, prices are lower than they were by the last accounts. The resistance of the Chinese is viewed as unfavourable, and tending to prove that the dispute will not be so easily ar ranged as had been imagined. Several parcels of goods had been disposed of at Canton, but it was owing to a scarcity of dollars, and the Hong merchants apparently preferred to bar ter than to keep their produce on hand. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 2.—Transaetions were rather limited, and prices were unaltered. 3,000 bales were told, including 300 Americans for export. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JULY 2.—Business was very fiat, and the sales limited. There were some improvements in Edinburgh and Glasgow, which were sold at 42k, and in South Eastern New, at 4*. The other transactions were— Chester and Birkenhead, 25; New, 12i ; Eastern Counties, New, 6 1-3. MANCHESTER STOCK rxcHANGE, JULY 2.—Our market still continues heavy, although rather more business has been done.

Chevalier's thermometer, at six o'clock, was at 20 2-10 of the centrigade scale, or 68i Fahrenreit ;by mid-day it got up to 33 C., or 91f F. and by two, it was at 34 5-10 C., or 941 F. Towards the evening, heavy . clouds were seen gathering on the south-western horizon, portending a coming storm. About half-past nine o'clock ; veil? heavy whirlwind arose, and the dust m the Champs El gees and on the Boulevards was driven about in such clouds as to render objects around almost invisible. At a quarter to ten the storm burst, the rain fell heavily, the lightning and thunder was very vio:ent. The storm was not of long duration, as, at half-past ten, the stars again shone forth, and the air was rekeshingly cool. LITERATUEE. 4 MANUAL OF DIGNITIES, PRIVILEGE, AND PRECEDENCE. By C R. DODD, Esq. Whittaker and Go. This will be found a very useful and interesting book to persons in all ranks of life, for though it has reference chiefly to the Royal Family and the higher classes, the respect for titles and ancient pedigree in this country is so great that they form objects of inte rest. to even the lowest portion of the community. The system indeed, which Mr. Dodd here illustrates, pervades the whole of society. Men, even in .the lowest scale of social life, admit the necessity of dis tinctions, privileges, and precedence as the best secu rity for good order, as rewards for merit, or as marks of respect for age, knowledge, and superior'acquire-• ments. By universal consent the elder, in the lower walks of life, have precedence of the younger ; the fa ther of the son, and the master of the servant. Among the higher ranks this rule is not so general, but at the same time it appears the best adapted for preserving harmony among the varied ranks in wealthy and civilized societies. In a monarchy like that of Great Britain all these distinctions are defined either by law or. custom, and the object of this work, therefore, is to classify and arrange these in a convenient and intelli gible form. Considering the complicated nature of the work, this has been well accomplished. It is divided into six heads ; namely, 1, Precedence; 2, the Throne; 3, Personal Distinctions ; 4, Official and Professional Ranks ; 5, Ceremonies and Costumes ; and 6, Statis tics and Official Lists. These of course contain so many subdivisions and 'minute details that we have not space to make allusion even to the fiftieth part of them ; but we may add that the work has been com piled from the best authorities, and been carefully re vised. It is embellished with numerous plates, repre senting the Crown and insignia of the Sovereign, the Coronets of the different ranks in the Peerage, mid numerous Orders. The last part will be found use ful for reference, as it contains lists of the Great Offi cial Functionaries, and the Bishops of each see, for several hundred years. The following are specimens of the work : " PRICE OP WALES.--The Prince of Wales has been at all times regarded as the first subject of the realm— the nearest to the Throne, the most dignified of the Peers in Parliament, and, though not exercising any political power beyond Yiis vote as a legislator, yet re gardeu by all men as the ,most eminent personage in the State next after the Sovereign. The Prince of Wales is the Heir Apparent. The Heir Presumptive may be brother, uncle, nephew, niece, or even a more distant relative of the Sovereign ; but his prospect of eventually succeeding to the Throne gives him no place in the scale of precedency ; the rank he holds is merely de rived from consanguinity." The next extract refers to a title which every vain man likes to see at the tail of his name, and which beggars or applicants for favours are sure to give him " The number of persons who by birth are legally entitled to the designation of esquire, far exceeds any possibility of calculation ; for they include the eldest sons of all sons of Peers, the eldest sons of esquires by patent, the eldest sons of knights, and all the eldest sons of these three classes in perpetual succession, as also all the sons of baronets ; hence tens of thousands of gentlemen who receive this affix, apparently as a matter of courtesy, really enjoy a legal right ; and though it be more fre quently used th a n any oter couresy distinction, yet the right to it is more extensively possessed than readers in general are in the habit of supposing. There cannot be a more vulgar error than to imagine that the affix of esquire, any more than the prefix of sir or lord, is depen dent on what the world calls "respectability." The largest amount of funded property, or the most extensive estates, do not confer such a distinction legally, or even by :courtesy, unless, indeed, the latter should carry with them the lordship of a manor, or a tenantry in capite. Mechanics and retail tradesmen are not called "gentle men," however vast their wealth or irreproachable their conduct, until they retire from business, or else become master manufacturers or merchants. Commercial letters are superscribed Mr. A— B—, or Messrs. —, though many of the parties so addressed are esquires in how ; but merchants and manufacturers, if written to or designated in their private capacities, are always ad dressed and described as esquires. Inasmuch as the courtesy titles of Lord' and Honourable' are given to many thousands who legally are but esquires, so every one who is in law a gentleman, is by courtesy an esquire, in the same way that the son of a Marquis is addressed as Lord Charles , or Lord William -- ; and the sou of at Earl the Honourable Frederick —, though in all legal instruments and gazettes, even these latter are merely styled esquires. PICTORIAL SHAKSPERE. Part 45. C. Knight, London, 1842. . The prosent part :of this elaborate edition of the plays and poems of our great dramatist contains the first portion of a biographical memoir of him, written by the Editor in a concise, pains-taking spirit, and illustrated, as usual, with a choice variety of appro priate embellishments. The explanatory notes inter spersed throughout the memoir, are some of them ex ceedingly curious and interesting. HISTORY OF SURREY. • Ede, Dorking, 1842. • We have here the First Pali of the second volume of Mr. Brayley's History of Surrey—a useful and scru pulously accurate work, which we lrAvc already no ticed in terms of deserved praise, when it appeared from month to month in numbers. The view of Claremont—the country-seat of the King of the Bel gians—which forms the frontispiece,. is. a very spi rited sketch ; and there is also a curious map of the Windings of the river Mole. `'rut Highest Lowest Pei , ' Pike Pr , c, eric , French s • 118 9S 110 15 ... 118 00 ... 119 15 3 per Cents. 79 30 - 79 45 ... 79 25 ...

An invention has been recently brought forward, which is calculated to have a vast beneficial effect in filtering, and so purifying all the water for domestic and other purposes in the kingdom. Lord Brougham, with many other eminent sarans, has been surprised and delighted at the eacts produced. A machine only five feet square has been made to filter the enormous quantity of two millions five hundred thousand gallons every twenty-four hours ; and that, too, so thoroughly and effectually, that water charged withl mud, animalculac, and decomposed vegetable matter has been produced as bright and pure, and sweet, as it originally issued from the spring. The merit of this most useful and valuable invention be longs to a Russian merchant of the name of Stuckey, and the water filtered by it has been examined and certified by Professor Phillips, tin eminent chemist. Currant-tea, says a German Journal, has been ex tensively used in Russia fur some years back, being con sidered slightly sudorific and anti-febrile. It is agree able to the taste, and is made in the following manner : —Red or white currants are placed to dry—the red have usually the preference —on sheets cf paper, in an oven slightly heated, or in the furnace of a kitchen, from which the great heat has departed. A small quantity of the currants thus dried is infused, as is done in common ten-making, and the water is allowed to stand for some time. This liquor is said to be good for the gout.

India and China news has been received by the Overland Mail, which left Bombay ten days earlier than usual, to avoid the monsoons. The dates are, Bombay, May 23; Caubul, Clasen, March 2; L a h ore , Apr il 2 S ; M a d ras , M ay April 17-28; Calcutta, May 13 ; C e yl on , M a y 4; Macao, April 4; 14; and Singapore, April 19. The London Mail of April 6 reached Bombay, by the Cleopatra on May 12, and would reach Calcutta about the 21st, and Madras about the 19th of the same month. 'f he intelligence by this conveyance is, upon the whole, very satisfactory. from our army in Affghenistan the news is of a most chee , iiig character. General Pollock had arrived at Jellalabad, relieving Sale and the heroic garrison of that furtress t on the 16th of April. He had experienced but little opposition on his march, except from souse roving tribes, who had only sues ceetied in cattier( off a few camels; he had even been able, when assured of Sale's safety, to detach a part of his forces to the assistance of a friendly chief. The oestruction of tie Ghunzee garrison is confirmed by the art ival at Jehalabad of a domestic of Colonel Paimer, who repor.b that scarcely had they marched out of the citadel than a band of Ghazees uverpowei ed them, and with the exception of a few of the officers, butchered the whole garrison. The death ut Shati Seojalt is confirmed. Ile fell by the hand of Zeillaun Khan, the brother of !Jost Mahenaed. Akbar Khan has made a precipitate flight to the northward, carrying off the priemers heretofore confined at Lughman, under charge of Ma homed Shah Ghilzie, who treated them well. General El phinetone died on the 24th of April, and the Afighans had agreed to send his body to Jellalibad. Our news from Canton is to the 4th of April. Niegpu had been attacked on the 18th of March by a Chi nese force, estimated at from 10,000 to 12,000 men. They were allowed to enter the town without opposition, but upon reaching the market-place were attacked on all aides by our troops, and instantly routed. About 250 are said to have been left dead on the field, while en our side not a single easttalty took place. They state front Alexandria of the 20th, that Mehemet Ali had promised the Sultan to send seven regiments of the line in o Syria, to assist in disarming the mountaineers. The English brig Ontat io had suffered a total wreck at Alexandria. Time Malta Times gives very interesting, but also very painful acenuuts from Tripoli. The Arab leader, Ahd-el-Gelil, and his brother, Seit-ei-Nasar,. had been assassinated by order of the Bey Askar Ali. '1 heir heads were paraded through the streets of Tripoli. then pickled, and sent off to Constantinople. The moat horrible cruelties are said to have bee,' committed by the 'Turks upon the Arabs. Three fine youths, children to Self-el-I'4,er, and a eon of Abd-el-Gelil, the eldest not more than 14 years of age, were all murdered. The unfor tunate Arab chiefs were betrayed to Askar Ali, and enticed to a conference, on solemn promise and oaths of safety, when they were traitorously butchered. But the ferocious joy of the Bey at his sanguinary success was overclouded by the publication of his official recal from Tripoli, which was hailed with uni versal enthusiasm by Europeans, Moors, Turks, and Arabs. All the Europeans and all their Consuls are united in hostility against the tyrant. _ v 'l 'he Paris papers of Saturday make a great stir about a long letter addressed by Captain Bouet, of the Nisus corvette, com manding the French naval station at Senegal, to the Courrier Ft ancuts, concerning the affair of the ship Les Deux Sceurs. In this extraordinary document Captain liouet declares him self a decide:l adversary to the conventions of 1831 and 1838 on the right of search, though he candidly admits that they were bailed with confidence and joy by all those who sincerely desired the abolition of the slave trade, and that they have effectually contributed to so desirable an end. Tne Moniteur of Saturday contains the following intelligence from Madrid :—" By a decree, dated the 26th ult., the Army of the North is dissolved. The troops of which it was com posed ate to pass under the command of the Captains-General of the 10th Division (Navarre), and the 11th (the Basque pro vinces)." The French Government papers publish the following tele graphic despatches :—" From Algiers, June 25.—The Beni Manasser, a large tribe near Cherchell, and the B:ghas near Miliana, flare made their submission. The whole chain from the Arach to Cherchell is ours. Nearly the whole of the pro vince of Titery has submitted. The chiefs are on their way to Algiers. General Changarnier has made new progress in the west of Sidi-Embarrak. The internal trade is considerable at Bl id th. " We have advises from Lisbon to the 27th of June. Neither the slave-trade nor commercial treaty were signed, but the two Plenipotentiaries had come to a better understanct-' ing, and there was little doubt of the treaties being forwarded signed within a week or a fortnight. The Duke of Palmella will immediately juin the Administration as Foreign Secretary and President of the Council. The result of the elections was an immense majority for the t3overnment. PAR,36S-ILIVIENTAZLY. In the House of Lords last night the Duke of Rich mond iLquired whether another attempt had been made on her Majesty's life, and the Earl of Aberdeen said he could make rlo statement, as the subject was under in vestigation. Lord Brougham adverted to charging the Income tax ou the half year's dividends now in the course of pay ment, and the Earl of Ripon said he would inquire whether it is to be the case or not. Their Lordships then adjourned. Less than forty Members of the House of Commons being found together at four o'clock, that House stood adjourned till this day. MONEY— TRADE—COTITMERCM. From Parliamentary Papery, A appears that the net home consumption of hard soap in Great Britain, which was 87,300,5451b5. in 1882, has tncreased to 117,861,8761b5. for the year 1841. At Galway the markets still continue to fall, and notwith standing the reasonable price• of provisions, the people, owing to their distress, hare not the means to purchase, and are al together without employment. At. Halifax, Leeds, and Manchester, trade during the - past week has been altogether at a stop; at Bradford and Roch dale steady and fair; at Huddersfield there has been improve ment, but at Leiceiter depression still continues, and many hands have been thrown out of employ. LAW AND POSACM. The 93asession of the Central Criminal Court, which com menced yesterday, has ninety-seven cases for trial, of which three are for intent to murder, and two for rape. The case of Nicholas Suisse, the valet Je chaynbre to the late Marquis of Hertford, will, it is said, occupy two days. From an account of the state of her Majesty's Gaol of New gate at the present moment, it appears there are two within it under sentence of death, and thirty-one for transportation. Two of the more heavy eases of murder were adjudged at Clonmel on Thursday, at the sittings of the Special Commis sion in Tipperary. Patrick Byrne, charged with the murder of Mr. Halt, was found guilty, and sentenced to death; Kent, his supposed accomplice, was acquitted. Timothy Woods was alto found guilty of the murder of Michael Laffan, at Pallas and ordered to ho hung. laT3Eatr...4tY AND SCZIENTZTIC. _ . .

The Part before us of this popular work contains a picturesque view of the town of Belfast, with the bold range of mountain headlands in its immediate neigh bourhood : and a map of the counties of Londonderry and Antrim, in which that noble sheet of water, Loch Neagh, forms the most conspicuous object. Mrs. Hall s description of this inland sea, though brief, is spirited and graphic. " Its scenery," she tells us, " is beautiful and interesting, and the lake becomes truly magnificent when influenced by storms, its waves rolling and foaming, like those of the ocean in a tempest ; in the immediate neighbourhood of An trim town, it may vie, in parts, with the fairest of the southern lakes, while it possesses a grandeur exclu sively its own." Loch Neagh is the largest sheet of fresh water in Great Britain, and is exceeded in size by few in Europe. It is almost twenty miles in length s about twelve miles in breadth, eighty miles in circumference, and its greatest depth in the middle is forty-five feet. Besides several other interesting local matters, the present Part furnishes us with some sin gular details respecting that well-known old Irish superstition, the Banshee. FINE ARTS. We were favoured on Saturday with a private view of a Series of Portraits in costume, which are being exe cuted by Mr. Coke Smyth, and ,which Messrs. Paul and Dominic Colnaghi, of Pall Mall East, are about to pub lish, by command of her Majesty, in periodical numbers, under the title of " Souvenirs of the 13a1 Costume." The portraits, the majority of which are yet unfinished, are all full lengths, and represent the different personages in the exact dresses which they wore at Buckingham Palace on the occasion of the bail in question. Generally speaking, the likenesses aro good,—that of the Marquis of Normanby, in particular, may be recognised at a glance. The portraits of the Queen, also, and Prince Albert are excellent, and are finished off with infinite skill and care. - We cannot doubt that, when completed, the series will be a highly popular one. A fine painting supposed, and not without good reason, to be a Georgione, is now being exhibited at the Italian and Flemish Gallery, Pall-mall: lt repre sents the Golden Age, and consists. of several striking groups of figures, some reposing indolently on the ground, and some standing, engaged in conversation ; and all stationed in the foreground of a most pic turesque landscape, whose colouring is wonderfully rich and fresh. To the left of the spectator, in one corner of the picture, is the figure of a female, the flesh tints of which are defined with all the grace and beauty of a Correggio. The most remarkable peculi arity of this painting' is the sunny, cheerful character which pervades all its details. It is an excellent spe cimen of the old Italian school, and, considering its age, is in an extraordinary state of preservation. We understand that it was for some years in the posses sion of the late Sir Thomas Lawrence, with whom it was a great favourite. • Dour Gold).— The Bank of England yesterday issued the following- notice :—" The public are informed that as the Rotunda will be required for the payment of dividends, no further amounts of light gold can be re ceived in that office after the 6th instant ; but the re ceipt of amounts from 201. to 80!. will be resumed at the earliest possible period.

We subjoin, entire, the interim Report of the Com mittee of the Town Council, on the Islands in thet River Ness. It is lamentable to see the present state of those beautiful woodland retreats—one of the bridges destroyed, and communication thus cut off with the west bank of the river. Could not a sum be procured, by subscription, to restore the bridge, and place the islands in a state of security from reckless and mischievous persons ? Or could not a ball, or concert, be devised for this purpose ? town in Britain can boast of finer walks, and our townsmen should exert themselves to show that they appreciate their beauty " The Committee will, in this Report, chiefly bring under the notice of the Council the recent history of the islands, and the means adopted for rendering them accessible to the public, as detailed in the Council minute book. "The first separate notice of these islands in recent times, which the Committee have observed in the Council record, is of date the 20th June, 1823, when the lloard at that time resolved in future ‘to set the grass in the Island annually, along with the other branches of the common. good. " Previous to this the island had been planted, and the -grass was not cut or pastured, most probably for fear of` injury to the young trees. -" On ME? &l March, 1828, a petition was presented to the Council (and which is engrossed verbatim in the ree9rd), in'the name of Mr. John Mackay, banker, and other live gentlemen, resident in Inverness, de scribing the islands a state of nature,' and pro posing to convert them into a place ofpublic resort for the inhabitants, by means of chain or wire bridges connected with both sides of the. river,' the islands to be improved by the removal of brushwood and trees where necessary, and walks to be made according to a plan to be obtained from, skilful professional persous."The necessary funds, were proposed to be raised by subscription, and the object of the petition was to obtain the approval and sanction of the scheme by the Council, and to get permission to use the ground for a certain number of years, or from year to year, as the Council should deem best. fur a small nominal annual rent.' "The Council favourably entertained the proposal, but ordered plans and estimates to be laid before them ; and finally, after several meetings and con ferences, the Alagistrates and Council, of this date (9th July 1828), sanctioned the measure, but on' certain conditions, particularly mentioned in a report by a Committee of their own number, the principal of which were, that no trees were to be cut, except such as were absolutely required to be removed in forming the walks : that the property of the town should be carefully preserved, and that permission to use the islands should be granted to the superintend ing Committee, only from year to year, at a nominal rent of ten shillings. This rent seems never to have been exacted, or paid ; but the Council's sanction to the prosecution of the works was especially guarded • by a proviso that the suggestions in their Committee's report were strictly adhered to. "No other notice of the islands is to be found in the Council record till the year 1837 ; but the re ,' porters have ascertained that the gentlemen olio un dertook the charge of them succeeded in raising sub scriptions for their embellishment, and the erection of the connecting chain bridges, to the amount of • 9441. 2s. Gd.—about one-third from inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, and upwards of two thirds of this handsome sum from friends at a dis tance ; and' that the whole of the money was exclu sively expended among the tradesmen and labourers of Inverness and its vicinity. "On the 31st October 183.5, a state of the com mittee's accounts of intromissions was submitted to a meeting of the subscribers, convened by public adver tisement, at which meeting (Mr. Mackintosh of Aberarder being in the chair), it was directed that the whole accounts and vouchers should lie at the office of the National Bank, in Inverness, for a month, fur inspection ; and certain resolutions were passed, complimentary to the Committee, and re-appointing them, with som e a dditi ona l members,: and new powers. The Committee subsequently recovered payment of some arrears of subscriptions, but finally, having expended in' re than they received, the loss of 421. 12s. 10d. was ultimately divided and paid up by the three gentlemen who continued to act—namely, 'Messrs. Nicol, Thompson, and Mackay. " In the year 1837, while Mr. Ferguson was Pro vost, the Town Council had their attention directed to. the state of the islands, and they then virtually resumed possession of them, and appointed a Committee for the purpose of disposing, by public roup, of such of the trees as had fallen into decay, or were destroying the grmtli of others, and which could be remove without injuring the beauty and appearance of the place, and also for planting young trees, in room of those that might be cut. down.' , A small quan tity of timber was cut and sold under this remit, as after-mentioned. On. the 14th of August, 1838, another Committee was appointed, to examine and report upon the state of the bridges leading to the. Nos Islands, and to procure estimates of the expense` of repairing the same, and to consider the best means for hereafter protecting the islands and bridges from trespass ;' and as the bridge on the west branch of the river, communicating with the lands of Bught, had then fallen, or was threatening entirely to give way, the Committee were, at the same time,. autho rised to get that bridge repaired so as, to render it passable. "Thies the islands were again taken under the ex clusive charge of the Magistrates and Council, and the repairs of the bridges, so far as executed, w* conducted. at sight of the Committee just alluded to, .who, however, as directed by the Council, commu nicated with the Committee of subscribers to the island improvements, and had several conferences with those gentlemen. " The Committee incurred accounts for repairs to the amount of 671. - 7s. 2d., and the proceeds of the sale of trees, which only amounted to 37/. 2s. 10d., were put at their disposal by a grant of the Town Council of that date ; but of this sum only 281. have been actually paid by the Town Chamberlain (being for an account of Donald Mackintosh, carpenter), and the balance of 91. 2s. 10d. is still undisposed of. Pro vost Ferguson has settled some smaller claims out of two subscriptions procured by him (one of 51., from John Fraser, Esq., of Edinburgh, and another of 11., from Dr. Andrew, of Edinburgh) ; but the following accounts are still due, viz. :- 1. To John Gordon, mason, contract price of repair of Bught Bridge £8 5 0 2. Do. Alex. Mennie for iron work thereof 21 14 6 Extra work thereon Which amount has yet to be paid by the town £3s 15 3 " The Committee have thus detailed all the recent proceedings in relation to the islands; and they con elude this interim Report by mentioning that various methods have oceurred to them for refiting the bridges and preserving the islands as beautiful re treats fur the inhabitants ; but, under the former remit, the reporters find that they have not been authorised to obtain plans and estimates, and, before recommending any precise course of procedure to be :adopted by the Council and community, they should like to have it in their power to consult pro fessional persons, with the view of ascertaining the probable cost of reconstructing the bridges, of erect ing at lodge according to a cheap, but classical design, which; it is believed, would be preferable to a mere rustic edifice, and of devising means for the efficient protection of the works. and whole and permanent property of the islands."

Tut; QUARTER SESSIONS, WORCESTER.—Else where we have fully reported the proceedings at the Midsummer Quarter Sessions fur this county, which have just conclut:ed. The number of prisoners for trial 7, set down in the calendar was 11 and it approached nearly to 130 before the Sessions were ended. The present calendar has been loudly proclaimed as a f ear f u l witness of the increase of crime; but if we tak e into ac and further allow for the last count the number of per sons .emnam itted from Dudley for a riot—the case .agt!,inst whom, by the way, was o f year than last, thus leaving the very slightest description of such offenees_e,„ snliatneug:t:Erslie"eletohmismittals to accumulate—then sa b e a: . i jo i tn i) se f rf a ai s l though the number of committals was this year 117, while last year it was was only 80, we shall yet not find so great an increase in crime as might be at first sup posed. There is absolutely no increase in the rural districts; and unhappily we are at no loss in seeking for a probable cause quite equal to account for a much greater increase than has taken place in the manufactur ing districts. No 0118 can doubt that scanty employ ment and consequent privation are that sufficient canes.
