Yesterday two men of respectable appearance were brought before Mr. J(Stannts, in the custody of a city officer, charged with fraudulently obtaining the sum of 331. from Mr. John Dundee Lowden, a merchant of Jamaica, while playing at the ' well-known game of " thimble-rig," s.t Ascot Heath, on Thurs day last. The prisoners gave the_names of Richard Williams and George Bignole. Mr. Humphries conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Pelham ppeared for the prisons'. N Mr. Humphries said, he was instructed by the prosecutor, who was a merchant from the West Indies, Co proceed against the prisoners, by whom he was initiated into the mystery and arts of gaming- on the race course at Ascot. It appeared he went to the course, and seeing persons playing at a table, he joined them, and in a moment lost a sovereign. He then declined playing further, as he said he had no money, and the prisoner Williams coming up to him, invited him to go to another table where larger sums were staked, which he refused ; but the pri soner pressed him, saying, he could accommodate him with money, at the same time placing 5/. in his hand, which he in stantly laid on the table. The men behind, the table having c overed it, witness raised the thimble, but to his surprise, and that of his friend at the bar, the pea was in the wrong place. The prisoner immediately supplied him with 10/., which was a!so lost in the same way, and ettisseqnently with a further sum of 20/., which shared the same fate. The prosecutor then gave his wa'ch and chain as a security for the money adiiinced, and being found by the ether prisoner, they came to town together. On the next morning the prisoners came to wit ness's lodgings with the watch, and he desired they would call yesterday merriieg at Lime-street, when he would settle with theta ; but having consulted with his landlord upon the steps lie should take, it was that gentleman's opinion he had been swindled, and on their paying the appointed visit they were given 'lite) custody. Abe Pelham observed that the Magistrate had no jurisdiction i the ease, as the offence had net been committed within'the corroy or the district of the Court. Air. Humphries replied, it had been committed within the sf,str.et of the Central Criminal Court, and the sit ing Alagis trate of the Court had the power of adjudicating upon it. Henry Ayres Ohiersietw, 513, City police. said, in conse quence or information he had received he took the prisoners into custody in Leadeahall-street, when he found upon Wil liams six 5/. notes. two sovereigns, and the prosecutor's card; and on the other 10s. lie had reason to believe, from what he knew of one of them, he could procure further evidence. Alr. JA/MINX refused to accept of bail, and said he should order both the prisoners to be remanded, on a charge of larceny, fer a week. The prisoners were then removed from the bar. MARLBOROUGH - STREE 7 '. Yesterday James Glindon was for the third time brought up fur further examination, charged with having been concerned, with three well-known thieves who hare been since convicted and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation in hustling and rebbbing, Sir Wm. Henry Roger Palmer, Bart., of No. 12, Ilereford-street, Park-lane, of his purse, containing 1/. 135., as he was proceeding along Regent-street on the 4th of April last. Mr. Wontner, the salicitor, again attended on the prisoner's behalf. The particulars of this case appeared in The Sun on the first examination. _ _ _ The prisoner was committed to take his trial at the ensuing Westminster Sessions, and Sir Roger and the witnesses bound over to appear against him. The prisoner was also identified as buin4 an asszciate o! common pickpockets, and of having been twice summarily convicted of that offence himself. His mother, who is a respectable aged widow living on an annuity from Government, was pr. sent during the examina tion, andLwas FO overwhelmed with grief that se was obliged tube carried out of the office. Thomas 0' Shen, a . middle-aged man, of dirty and dissipated appearance, and three-parts drunk, was placed at the bar on the following charge:— The prisoner is an officer in the Hon. East India Company's Pei - vice, on has-pay, and has been repeatedly brought before this Court for drunken and disorderly conduct. On his being brought into Court, Air. HARDWICK exclaimed—Why, I sent that man to the Howe of Correction only a few ca.is ago; how can he be here now? Mr. Fitzpatrick (the Chief Clerk) said he was committed only for a week, and his time had expired. Mr. Edward Tyler, of No. 300, Re;:ent-street, stated, that about half-past eleven o'clock yesterday morning, as he was walking arm-in-arm with his brother through Church-pas sage, Piccadilly, the prisoner came staggering up in front of them, and spat in loth their faces. On being . reproached by some bystanders at behaving in such a disgusting manner, he boasted, that " if it had been the Duke of Wellintoa he would have served him the same." The prisoner was fined 31., but, being penniless, was sent to the tsteadmill for a month. ro MAGISTRATES, SOLICITORS, CLERKS OF POOR-LAW UNIONS, &c. &e.

A Cabinet Council was held suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday. We have good reason to believe that it was held in consequence of some very unpleasant, not to say alarming intelligence, which yesterday morning reached the Home-office from the manufacturing dis tricts. The Income-tax Bill was read a second time in silence last night in the House of Lords, and it is said that one strong motive for postponing all observations on so delicate a matter just now, of which Noble Lords on both sides were con vinced, was the dread of saying anything which might add to the excitement and alarm which exists in various parts of the country. Our information goes to the effect that • something like consternation has been excited ?a the Cabinet, not only on account of w.bat has already happened, but of what is plainly seen to be unavoidable. Letters from Manchester and other manufacturing districts ; are written in a most de. sponding tone ; there is no hope of improvement ; the soup kitchens are besieged' with hungry applicants for relief ; who congregate about them before it is • day- Ugh f, to get, if possible, something to eat ; white the hungry masses have given it plainly to be un derstood that they would rather be sabred by the sol diery—if needs must—then die of hunger, which they have declared they will not do if they can help it. Manchester, and the other manufacturing towns abound in Irish, and sonic apprehension is felt of the possible effect on them of the riots and loss of life at Ennis. They are a lively, sympathetic race, and when they learn that several of thtir countrymen have there been shot by the police, who are said to have fired without orders, their hun ger may be sharpened by indignation, and the peace of the country be endangered. From Glasgow we are told that 'the accounts of the destitution of the people exceed all and that on a Life occasion;' when ' charitable 'gentleman distributed - amongst them a few loaves, they could be likened to nothing but a band of hungry wolves seizing a very insufficient prey. GOD protect the .commonwealth ! for our rulers, we greatly fear, drive the people to desperation. The business of the,,Sessfon I.; evidently drawing to a &i . e. No debateable question. of importance remains, • excepting,' perhaps, the renewal of the Poor-law. Sir JZOnEUTPEEL has resolved to commence public business .at half-past four (Mock every day. Orders of the Day are to have precedence on Tuesdays. Saturday is to be added to'the number of working days ; every symptom betokens agsiduity and dispatch, and in all probability, • therefore, Parliament will be prorogued by the second, at latest, the third week of next month. This is a judicious regulation, both as regards the convenience of ..llembers, and the passing of important measures. For many sessions one-half of the public business was dispatithed in house's with all but empty benches; sporting ltfembers bad gone to the Moors, travelling Members -to the Continent ; and a few 'Secretaries of. State, their Sub-Secretaries, and some dozen workirg indefatigable legislators, were left to bring up the nu— :•acrous and generally important arrears. It is gratify.. ing to find thnt the Opposition, too, approve of the new system, for,Mr. s uggested that as no business had been done on I:hursday for two weeks, orders should have precedence on that day also, and the suggestion met with general approbation. We trust Members will .• carry eat the plan still farthe r, and put an end at once to useless ()position to the new tariff. By protracting discussion they only keep the public mind in a state of anxiety, without serving any one good putpos.) Sir HOBERT PEEL has made up his mind on this ineaFure, at least for one year. He admits - that seine of the duties, such ss.those on wool and cot ' ton, are objectionable, but pleads poverty as an ex• coat) for retaining them; and we may therefore conclude, ii he finds himself richer next year, that he will give us Tore reductions on raw materials, and perhaps also on sugar. • The Tariff Bill is his cork; he is responsible for it ; epd opposition to it is vain, the sooner it becomes Oki law of the hlcil the bkitig. ,This is the general opinion • Throughout the country. MI persons engaged in trade '`are - anxious to have the question Set at rest, and those who throw obstacles in the way only injure commerce, • without the chance of producing the slightest beneficial el . ange. to. scales. He frightened the country with his Corn-law Sliding Scale, and, as if to drive com mercial men out of their 'senses, they can no more move about without 'sovereign-weighing scales and weights in their pockets, than they can without shirts or small-clothes. His notification respecting the weigh ing of gold coinage, has completely paralysed all trade among the poor retailers of the metropolis. Un provided with weights, and, unable to ascertain the value of sovereigns and half sovereigns, they refuse to receive them, and thus people, with money in their pockets, are in some districts unable to command absolute necessaries. In the:poorer disfricts of London it is impossible to ob tain change for gold, even with the temptation of con siderable purchases. The poor had surely enough to trouble them, without thus unnecessarily alarming them. They are filled with a vague sense of danger ; fancy 'every one who offers them gold in payment of wages or otherwise, intends to rob them ; and just in proportion to the extent of their ignorance is their inquietude. But the proposal itself recommends a robbery of the public. A great proportion of the gold coinage was issued under weight, to prevent its exportation, and a vast amount is depreciated in value from being allowed to remain too long in circulation. Nearly all the gold coins issued in the reigns of George the Third, George the Fourth, and William the Fourth, are in circulation. Now, how is it to be expected that sovereigns, upwards of a quarter of a century in circulation, should retain their full weight ? The Government knows right well that they are all light, and yet seizes the mo ment of imposing an Income-tax for depre ciating, by proclamation, the recognised standard value of them Let the present coinage of the kingdom be called in at its nomimal value, and a currency of the standard weight issued, with a regulation for its re-issue at intervals of seven or ten years, and then we shall make no objection to Sir R. PEEL'S weighing scales. The illoniteur of Thursday publishes the report of the discUssion in the Chamber of Peers, respecting the want of religious education in - France. Count BEuuNolr complained of the number of legal and medical students as being excessive. There were 3,375 medical students in 1841, and the annual number of lawyers qualified to practice at the French bar was 1,368. He further com plained. that medicine was only taught practically, and that the works of the fathers of the science of healing were hardly ever seen in the professional schools of France. Count de SAINT-PRIEST, and the Marquis de BARTHELEMY expressed regret that the clergy were not allowed a sufficient share in the education of the young of France. The following extract from the report of the debate will be read with some interest The Margais de Barthelemy was also anxious for a bill, which would allow children to receive a religious and literary education, in place of a philosophy often opposed to the pre criptions of Christianity. The Minister of Public Instruction denied that the State establishments taught a philosophy contrary to Christian prin ciples. If the Noble Peer examined the programmes of the University, he would see that this assertion was incorrect. With respect to a bill on the subject of liberty of instruction, he could not say that the Government could promise to present one at any particular time, or in the Chatuber of Peers rather than the Deputies. Count de Alontalembert said that the system of instruction followed in the University inspired very serious uneasiness to that portion of the French population that were anxious about religious instruction. In his opinion the University only re presented indifference and scepticism in religious matters. Yet he should not attribute this to the University as a crime, if it was not a monopoly, and one not justified by the actual tendency of religious opinions. So great, in fact, was the insuffi ciency of religious education, that there were at the present moment not less than eight hundred French pupils in the Colleges of neighbouring nations. The Noble Peer then derended the opinion of his party with respect to freedom of instruction, and declared that they had never, as had been erroneously stated, wished to exclude the Govern ment from the superintendence of public schools, and that the clergy had never conceived the notion of substituting them selves f,,r the University. He trusted that, at the approaching electims, those who had the right to elect reptesentatives would distinguish between men who were anxious to preserve the barriers existing between the evils of society and their remedy, and those in favour of the liberty of instruction. The Minister of Public Instruction must declare that the Noble Peer's inference, that public confidence was not vouch safed to the University, was erroneous. Conformably to the principle which guided its creation, that institution paid the ut most attention to the religious tenets of the pupils, and never attempted to interfere with them improperly. Napoleon, at its creation, appointed 6,000 purses for gratuitous education, form ing nearly the whole number of pupils ' • but at present there were only 1,400 purses, the free pupils amounting to 5,000. As the latter number were sent by the public, it would follow that the Noble Peer's argument was ill-founded. The Mi nister here entered into the question of the scepticism attri buted to the University, and adduced arguments to justify that body from the accusation. Count de Montalembert persisted in his farmer assertions, and declared that as his affirmations, and those of the Minister, were at variance, their truth could only be proved by subse quent facts. He had no desire to see the University suppressed, but he thought more religious establishments might very well be allowed to exist collaterally. After some other remarks the subject dropped. We agree in the opinion that there is too little reli gious instruction in France. But one of the greatest blunders made by the zealots is that of seeking to travel too fast. 'Theirs is the hot 7 house system of improve ment. Now, this is neither the wisest nor the best. The religious principle is rapidly gaining ground in France, and will strike deeper root the less it is inter fered with by legislation. Nothing is talked of in Paris but the approaching elections. 111. ODILLON BARROT is as busy as a bee, but his influence with the public is gone for ever. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, JUNE 9.

It seems that the proclamations of the Spanish Regent for money to pay the two semestres of interest were issued on an understanding with those capitalists who had engaged with Surra y hull. That Minister's re signation will thus make no difference. All the various parties in the Cortes were consulted, and all agreed that faith should be kept with the Eng lish creditor, by whatever Minister should succeed to the finance department. The Fives, with 11 coupons, were 31 in Madrid on the 3d. Three per Cents. 22 for time. On the 4th, the Fives at one moment reached 33, but almost immediately afterwards fell to 31, and not a bar gain done in the Threes. THE NOTTINCIIIAM WRIT.—Sir Robert Peel votes a i n;£l*Trielli W . Writ forNOttingliam; it is - said, be cause he dreads Mr. Walter's opposition to . the Poor law, which might protract the session a week-or two. He voted for issuing the writ to Ipswich, because there he was sure of obtaining two supporters, or two reason able opponents. The madness of the General Assembly during the late session, has precluded all hopes of assistance from the Government, in settling the disputes which agitate the Kirk of Scotland. Sir James Graham last night said he would not characterise their proceedings by any harsh terms, but . he would be explicit on one point, namely, that it was the intention . of the Government to oppose Mr.. Campbell's Non-Intrusion Bill. This of course astonished "poor" Mr. Campbell, who in utter amazement - . exclaimed, " I never could have expected such an answer from the Right Hon. Baronet." What answer did he expect ? That Sir James Graham would give more power to men who know neither mercy nor justice, who have defied . the law, and trampled on their unoffending brethren, whom the Government had re solved to protect ? Mr. Campbell must labour under some strange delusion. MADLLE. RACHEL AND TIER CRITIC.—A dramatic critic in a Morning Journal, while speaking of Madlle. Rachel's excellent acting last night at the Queen's Theatre, falls into such paroxysms of admiration, as wholly . to lose sight of common-sense and meaning. Thus, in reference to her famous scene with Valere and old Horace, he tells us that the effect produced " is here quite paralyzing—it is almost dislocatiag 1" This is the first time we ever heard that good acting endangered the integrity of one's limbs. We have seen Kean more than once in Othello, yet our joints were never dislocated in consequence ? Even his famous curse in King Lear occasioned no injury to our ancle• bone. We had no need to call in a surgoon to remedy the disastrous results of Our admiration. If Mdlle Rachel's acting really have the effixt of putting one's limbs out of joint, we should decidedly recommend her being taken up for a nuisance, and compelled to find sureties .for her good behaviour, during the period she may remain in England. From the returns to the House of the number of officers and men constituting the effective yeomanry of Great liritaia and Ireland, durizg the years 1840 and le4l, it appears that they amounted in the former, to > 35 „ilicers, and 13,450 men ; for the support of whom, Parliament granted a sum of 92,9931., which was ex cecded by an expenditure of 233/. 14s. 7d. In the fol lowing year,•the officers numbered 840, and the men 13,434 ; fimr whose support a vote of 82,266/. was granted, over which an excess of expenditure has taken place of TINE, AND S ILK, 1832-41. 1031. 65. Id. Eftluct7;fetErprtuSrrni:in'tos' the House of Commons of the quantities of the above articles and commodities at tempted-to be smuggled into the United Kingdom during the last ten years, it appears that in 1832, 42,421 gal lons. of Brandy were seized ; in 1841, 12,639, showing a decrease of 29,782. Of Geneva, 11,155 gallons in 1832 ;- while in 1841, there were no more than 2,496. Of Rum, 70 9 gallons in the former year ; in the latter, 190. Of Wines, in 1832, 86 gallons •, during the next four years, the fluctuation is from 100 to 150 gallons,' and in 1841 it had increased to 351 gallons, though i n the preceding year, 1840, there were only 73 gallons seized. . In the articles of silk and foreign manufacture, a great Mr. CIIILDERS, Mr. BERNAL, and Mr. O'BRIEN, are entitled to the thanks of the trading classes for having, last night, ropresonted to the CHANCELLOR of the Ex cut.2cElt, the extre meinconvenience resulting from the absurd and unjust regulation about weighing tip gad coittage. Sir ROBERT PEEL is partial increase appears to have taken place in shoes, stockin g s, 'and gloves : of these in 1 83 2 , only 266 pairs were seized , and so late as 1839, only 31 pairs. During the last year. 1841, there have been 2,947. In all the other itgms, such as ribb'ons, velvet. crapes, caps, and bonnets, &c., there appears a very sensible decrease, amounting almost, comparatively, in some cases, to a nonentity. In lace an article more extensively smuggled than any other, a great decrease is observable. In 1832 the number of yards returned, as under legal seizure, was 6,813: for 1841, 1,413 yards. SPIRITS (IRELAND). —On the motion of Sir Robert Ferguson, a return has been made of the spirits taken out for home consumption in Ireland since sth January to sth April last, and corresponding periods of 1840 and 1841. The decrease, as will be seen, is enormous. In the quarter ending April 5, 1840, the number of gallons taken out for home con sumption was 2,212,465 ; while in the corresponding quarter this year, it was only 1,682,548, a reduction of 529,917 gallons in three months. LAW INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY) IN RE TILE POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed cause against the rule obtained in this ease. A rule was obtained calling on the Poor-law Commissioners to bring up two orders relating to the parish of St. Paul, Deptford, that they may be set aside. The parish, it appeared, is divided into two portions, one of them 'in the county of Kent, and the ether in the county of Surrey; and the orders having described the parish as of the county of Kent, it was contended that they did not apply to the parish of %t. Paul, in the county of surrey. Tie Attorney-General argued that the addition of the county of Kent did t of exclude that portion of the parish in the county of Surrey fr nn the operation of the orders The addition of the county et Kent might be taken to di-t ingui•h it from any other parish in the world. Air. lirle.and Mr. Platt appeared in support of the rule. The Coo ar were of opinion that the description was a good one. rnE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1842 IN ME JOHN LONG. Mr. ANDREWS applied to the Court on behalf of John Long, a prisoner continet in the Cambridge gaol, that he stay be transferred from the second into the first class olgaols. The application was fuunded on the 3d and 4th Victoria, which makes a distinction in the place of confinement between per sons found guilty of a misdemeanour and sentenced to hard labour, and those who were not sentenced to hard labour. In the present case, the prisoner was not so sentenced, hut the order of committal not having specified in which class of gaols the prisoner was to be placed, he was confined, by the regula tions of the gaol in Cambridge, in the second class, where he had only the gaol diet and clothing, and was now living on bread and water. Lord DENMAN—The Court thinks it right to make the order for placing him in the first class of prisons. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Several gentlemen were sworn in as attorneys of the - Court this morning. Mr. HINTON said that he had an application of a somewhat peculiar nature to make, and he ent ertained some doubt whether it ought to be made before his Lordship or the full Court. The application was made against the examiners appointed by the Court of Queen's Bench relative to the admission of persons who applied to be attorneys of the Court. The gentleman on whose behalf the application was made was desirous of appealing from the decision of the examiners. Mr. Jurtiee WIGHTmAN—That must be moved before the full Court. QUEEN V. GUMPERTZ. Mr, CHALMERS applied that a person who had attended to give evidence in this cause be discharged from the custody of the Sheriff. lie applied upon the affidavit of the individual, who stated that he had been arrested on his way to the Court, while coming to give evidence. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—Let him be discharged. The officer who made the arrest wished to know whether the individual was to be discharged in all the writs which had been issued against him from the office of the She:iff of Middlesex, as there were several. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—Let him be discharged generally. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) The Court was occupied during the day in hearing bail cases, of which there were eighteen town and seven country cases. Most of the bail tendered was received without opposition. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.-(THIS` DAY.) The night charges, which consisted of cases of no interest, having been disposed of, ,Nicholas Suisse was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine for final examination, charged with having embezzled money to a considerable amount, the property of his master the Marquis of Hertford. Mr. Clarkson stated that at the last examination leave was obtained to have the property, in the possession of the con stable, belonging to the prisoner, delivered up to him ; all the property, with the exception of a bracelet and a diamond-ring, had been delivered up, and he applied to have those articles restored to him. Mr. JARDINE granted an order to that rifect. No more evidence was brought forward, and the prisoner was committed to Newgate to take his trial upon the first charge— that of the cheques—which had been preferred against him. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A middle aged female, named CarolineMongan, was charged with attempting to drown herself. One of the watetmen on the Regent's Canal stated that . between seven and eight o'clock last evening, the prisoner deli berately wrapt a shawl round her head and threw herself into the Canal. He immediately jumped out and succeeded in bringing her on the lank. A respectable woman came forward and gave her an excel lent character. She said the cause of her rash conduct was, that a man with whom she was acquainted had declared he would publish her as a bad woman, because she would not comply with his request. Mr. Gaiwnwoon remarked on the frequency of such at tempts. This was the third case of the kind that had been brought before him within the last fortnight. He desired the prisoner to name to the Police Inspector the ruffian who threatened her, that he might be punished. She was discharged with a caution. THE _MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

CAN IT DE POSSIBLE ?—(From the Tory Dublin Mail.) --We have heard it from a quarter that, under less startling circumstances, we should consider competent autho rity—can it be possible that a Conservative Government—the Government of Lord De Grey—has advanced from the publie money, on loan, a sum of 1,000/. for the purpose of building, or of finishicg a Homan Catholic chapel at Ennis ! We really ask this question in the hope, and with something like a confidence, of its being answered with becoming indignation in the nega tive. We can assure the Castle Journal that the rumour has obtained circulation, and, what we grieve to add, obtained crCtleace. S ARV OF NEWS AND Vitt) eptutott. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The elections and the linen thread question are the only matters that excite any interest among the French journals. The National publishes a long article to prove that linen thread imported from Belgium ought not to be subjected to the increased duty about to be laid on the same article imported from England. " Between Belgium and us," observes the National, "there exist an identity of position, a community of interests, a similarity of tradition and recollections, and ten dencies in common. Between Great Britain and us no com munity of feeling, no point of contact exists during past ages ; and at present, more than ever, when the two nations meet they annoy, injure, and offend each other." The Courier Francais says:—" By raising the duty on fo reign thread, the Ministry will not satisfy any party. The National thinks it not enough, and demands a prohibitive duty, as if a duty of 20 per cent., added to the expenses of commission and carriage, was not, in fact, a prohibition. The consequence will be, that our merchants will be supplied by smugglers, and the only party who will suffer by this arrange ment, except the consumer, will be the Treasury, which will lose two or tilt ee millions of revenue." _ . We quote the following important announcement from the Commerce. We fear tit iihal that it is but a trick to lull the suspicions of the Regent :—" A rumour is current that a defi nitive rupture has taken place between Queen Christina and the heads of lvtr party. They, seeing that for some time past they had been the dupes of promises which were not kept, at last determined formally to demand from the Queen an effec tive support to a new attempt in Spain, and they allowed her four days to consider the application. M the end of that period, Queen Christina having again given an evasive reply, her partisans, the report says, broke off all political contiecunn with her. The purchase of Alalmaison, after that of the hotel in the rue de Courceiles, may have contributed to convince her partisans that she has given up all political projects." La France states, that the contemplated journey of the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours to Luxemburg had been ar ranged between Louis Philippe and General Fagel, and relates to a marriage between the t rincess Clementine and a Prince of the House of Orange. PARLIAMENTARY. Several petitions were presented to the Lords against the income.tax. Lord Radnor gave notice of some questions con cerning building new gaols, and acts Inc keeping out corn, as it the Noble Lord were aware that a eeticiency of food is the parent of many crimes, and of enormous public expense. The Income-tax Bill was read a second time sub sitentio, in consequence of the indisposition of a Noble Lord (Lansdowne. we believe) who is to Mike swim motion on the subject, and the discussion is to take place next Tuesday, on going into Committee. Their Lordsh . ps sat only half an hour. Mr. Hogg, from the Waterford Election Committee, with Mr. Divett from the Athlone Election Committee, reported that the sitting Members had not been duly elected, and tha Sir T. W. Barron and Mr. Wyse. ought to have been re turned for Waterford, and Mr. Farrell for Athlone. The re. ,urns ale to be so atneuded. In reply to Mr. Fox Maule, Lord Eliot stated that Mr. St. George had not withdrawn his letter, but had given an explanation, which led to his re-instatement in the Magistracy. Mr. D'lsraeli adverted to the blockade of Mexico instituted by the Texans, and Sir R. Peel said that by notifying the blockade oor Government had not given an opinion of its legality, and he regretted very much that Texas had recourse to a measure so inconvenient to commerce. _ _ _ The sudden putting an end to the cir,ulation of light sove reigns was reprobated by Mr. Childers, Mr. Bernal, and Mr. G. Palmer. _ _ . _ Sir James Graham, in reply to Mr. Fox Manic, said dis tinctly that the Government had given up all hope of being able to introduce a measure to settle the disputes in the Scotch Kirk, and he was understood to say that the Government did not mean to support the second reading of Mr. Campbell's Bill. The proceedings on the Railway Bill were postponed till this day week. Sir Robert Iriglis moved that a new writ be issued for Nottingham. Mr. Gaily Knight seconded the motion. Mr. Roebuck opposed it ; so did Sir Robert Peel, to whom Sir Robert Inglis refused the title of his master ; and on a di vision the motion was rejected by 136 to 41. Nottingham, therefore, must be for some time unrepresented. Mr. Roebuck's Indemnity Bill was read a third time, and passed with amendments, we believe, after a few remarks by the Attorney- General. The remainder of the evening was employed in a quiet dis cussion of the Tariff. Some objections were stated on the !core of the silk duties, but it was agreed that it would be v ise to leave the matter in the hands of the Prime Minister, whose wisdom seems sufficient to satisfy both sides of the House. The schedule concerning silk was agreed to, and then tug House resumed. It was agreed that public business should begin on Monday at half-past four o'clock. At a Quarter before One the House adjourned. VIONITT—TRADE—COMMEN.CE. The Austrian Government will make a new issue of paper money on the 15th cf this month, to the amount of five millions of florins, in notes of various values. Another set of colliers, in the employment of Messrs. Travis Horafall, near Barnsley, struck work last week, owing to re- newel reduction of wages. At the 35th Anniversary of tl►e London Female Peniten tiary, held yesterday at Pentunville, the Report stated that since the Lrmation of the institution, in 1807. no less than 2,640 females had been admitted. A magnificent donation of 1,0001. from an anonymous gentleman had lately enriched the institut ion. _ _ The sale of Lord Lichfield's elegant property in St. James's , square, of wines, pictures, and plate, commences on Monday. ELECTIONEETLINO. The inquiry into the Athlone election terminated yesterday, declaring the Tory candidate, George de le Poer 13etesforcl, to have.been unduly elected, and that Daniel O'Ferral, Esq., ought to have been returned as a burgess. Permission, however, has been given to Captain Beresford, or other parties, to petition against the return of the latter. STATISTICS. From the returns it ade by Mr. Braidwood, of the brigade force, of the number of fires that occurred in the metropolis and its suburbs, it appears, that during the last five months, from the Ist of January to the Ist of June, no fewer than 368 have taken place. During the same period last year the num bers were 371, and the year before 356 fires. - NAVAL AND 3KIZITA.N.Y. A public examination was held at the Addiscombe military seminary yesterday, when out of twenty-nine gentlemen brought forward, three were selected for the engineers, nine for the artillery, and seventeen for the infantry. LAW AND POLICE. _ A Commission of Lunacy was held on Wednesday and Thurs day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on Henry Weir Spar row, Esq., of Essex, and Norfolk-street, Strand, at which foriner place he is possessed of extensive estates, and enjoys upwards of 5,6001. a year. As instances of his lunacy :—he pat his foot in the fire and burned it, declaring the Lord ha 4 ordered him to do it for his sins; he imagined spectres round his bed ; that be was Loui4 Philippe; and he once bowed to a dog, and said it was the Queen. The Jury returned him of unsound mind since May, 1840. He had left his property under a will to Miss Daniel, the , /overness. The Six Clerks' Office, it is said, will be shortly abolished, the Lord Chancellor intendieg to bring a Bill into the House of Lords to that effect. It is purposed to appoint a board of taxing officers, record-keepers, &e., instead. At Kensington yesterday, Thomas Shores, who has been in custody for a fortnight, ch«rged with stabbing his brother, was fully committed, and the witnesses were bound over to appear against him. At Queen-square, an old man named Rogers, was charged with begging. He had been servant to sovei al Noblemen and Gentlemen in his younger days, and had lived as groom with Lord Castlereagh. Th Magistrate expressed concern at his thstitute condition; and thought it best to commit him for fourteen days. MXTZTLARY AND SCIENTIFIC. A complete set of the works of the Rev. Dr. Dibdin, illus trated in a profuse and splendid manner, produced 496/. at the sale of Sir Henry Freeling's library. An opera, by Prince Joseph Poniatowski, has been received at Rome with prod gtous eclat. The Society of St. Cecilia the next day unanimously voted the Prince a splendid gold medal. _ _ THEATRICAL. Mr. and Mrs. C. Mathews leave Brompton-row in a day or two, on a professional tour in the provinces„ M. Dupret, the celebrated .Ftench singer, took his leave of the Paris public, at the Grand" Opera,.on Monday last, in the Leine de Chypre, and on the following day set out for London. The two first tenors in the world, namely, he and Rubini, are now therefore, in the metropolis. Considerable expectations have been raised in the dramatic circles by the announced appearance at the Theatre Francais of a young lady named Garrique, who is said to be a collateral descendant of the family of Garrick. COURT-FASHION.A.BLE. The Earl of Shannon has caused the whole of the splendid furniture and appointments at East Powis Castle, I.le of Wight, to be shipped for Cork, in order to be conveyed to the family seat, Castle Martyr. A brilliant season is expected at Baden-Baden. The Bri tish Ambassador will arrive there early next week. The Earl of Wilton's yacht, the Xarifa, is fitting out at Ports mouth, to convey his Lordship and suite to Hamburgh. The Duke of Devonshire gaze a sumptuous entertainment yesterday to the French Ambassador and a fashionable party. ZYLISCELL.A.NEOUS. A number of stone-coffins, recently opened in the Cathedral of Lincoln, contained bodies all enveloped in the coarse hair cloth shirts of the Catholic times. Twelve Franciscan friars have lately gone from Valencia to Syria on a mission there. Ore of the legislators now in Madrid, representing a mari time province, is said to have paid 40,000 dollars, say 8,000/., some time since to a former Minister of Finance, for the Grand Cross of Charles the Third; that is to say, the Minister owed him that sum, and bestowed the honour on him in full of all demand*.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. - - CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The English hlarket is completely inanimate to-day, and without business; prices, in consequence, are not quite so good Ls they left off 13.4 evening, Consols being 911 911 for the opening ex dividend; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91 . 1 91/ ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 1001 1001. India Bonds, 22 24 ; Exchequer Bills, 48 50 prem. Nothing has been done in Foreign Securities: The speculators in Mexican are much disappointed that the Dee has brought no information from that country ; quotations remain nearly as yesterday, be:ng 3b-. Business in the Shares has been very limited, and confined to Great Western, 89/ ; the New Shares, 621; Eastern Coun ties, 91; Edinbureland Glasgow, 511; Brighton. 35g. A " rig" is now going forward in Spanish, and the fluctua tions to-day have been from 231 to 241, and since declined to 231. When it is remembered that no money for the next divi dend is yet provided, and that the Minister, according to the last advices, had announced his willingness to borrow it in small sums, the Ilse will be seen to be merely a speculation without a legitimate cause. The usual return of the weekly average circulation of the kingdom for the four weeks ending the 28th ult. shows a falling off of 483,1221. in comparison wit!. the a.s ount of the 30th of April, which is composed of these items :—That of the Bank of England is less by 513,0001., the difference between 17,891,000/. and 18,404,000/. ; the English Private Banks by 116.535/., the difference between 5,365,6541. and 5,482,1891. ; and the Joint Seek Banks by 59,3641., the difference between 3,101,5401. and 3,160,9001. ; forming a total decrease in Eng laed of (1:0,e95/., the difference between 26,358,1941. and 27,047,09/. The circulation of Ireland is contracted by 154,8951., the:differenee between 5,057,05f1. and 5,211,947/., of which the Bank of Ireland is less by 6,725/, the dif l i - ference between 3,093,9001. and 3,100.625/., and the Pri vate and. Joint Stock Banks by 148,170!., the difference between 1,963,1521. and 2,111,322/. The private and Joint Stock Banks in Scotland have enlarged their is,nes by 360,6681., the difference between 2 931,383/. and 2,591,715/. The total circulation of the three kingdoms is Low 34,666,629/. against 35,849,751/. on April 30. The bullion in the Bank of England appears to be rapidly accumu liting, being now 7,383,0001., an increase of 301,000/. above the last return, or 3,163,000/. above the lowest point in Nov. 1841. This decrease in the circulation, although indicative of an absence of demand for industrial purposes, is not so discou raging as would be supposed at first. The Bank of England, at the commencement of April, to relieve a pressure on the market which then existed, increased their i,sue by nearly 1,750,000/. above what it had been in the former month, and are now gradually returning to their usual average. The increase in Scotland, air& a gratifying proof that a revival of trade there is going en ; and the cirenlatier, which, during some months past, had been narrowed from 3.383,006/. t 5 2,599.7151., is now again being expanded. The stock of bullion is also sa tisfactory ; and vt hich, coupled with the present state of the foreign exchanges, would show, that if in the next two or three months any demand for it should arise on the Continent, it will be met, without to any g: eat degree distressing the market. The few letters received by the Dee, add nothing to the in telligence in another column. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE. it A ILWAYS. Paid. rer Share.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The receipt of gold coin below the legal weight in sums over• 501. by the Bank of England at the Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 / (1. per ounce, does not remove the com plaints of the public. Private individuals will not be able to take advantage of the notice, except by clubbing their gold, and transmitting it by one party, so as to make up the required amount. If this be done, those who send their gold to the Bank will be paid for light sovereigns at the Mint price, but they will be sufferers for the deficiency of weight. A very large proportion of the gold in circulation is below the legal weight, and thus a most severe loss will be suffered by the community by the depreciation in the coinage over which they had no control. It was the duty of the Government to have called in the gold before it was so reduced by abrasion as to I , e generally below the legal weight, and it is on the Crown, and not on individuals, that the loss should fall. The injustice in flicted on the country by throwing the loss for deficiency of weight on individuals is so glaring, that we cannot doubt it will be made the subject of Parliamentary inquiry. Every one must see that the silver coinage, especially sixpencies, is much deteriorated, and that a new issue is requisite ; but here, again, the old coin will be allowed to circulate until the sixpences and shillings are worn down smooth, and all marks of her Majesty's countenance obliterated; then we !hall have a fresh blundering arbitrary proclamation, and individuals will be again saddled with the loss incurred by Government neglect. These are fitting accompaniments for a Tory Government to adopt as suitable introductii ns to the iniquities of their Income-tax.

KATHERINE'S DocKs.—%Ve are authorised to contradict a parigraph ch appeared in some of the daily papers, inserted at the desire of a "correspondent," calling the attention of the public to the loss of life by policemen in the St. Katherine's Docks, from an al.eged want of ropes, or some other protection of the kind, around the edge of the docks. It apnea's that ropes fixed in iron stancheons, are placed all around the quays, and that no instance has oc curred of • a policeman hav'ng fallen into the water in these docks. FRENCH PLAYS.—Bouffe made his third appearance last night in two of his most applaud e d chara c ter s . In the one act vaudeville, Pauvre Acques, he pourtrayed excellently the old decayed musician, with his love for his piano, which an in exorable landlord endeavours to tear from him.

ADOLPH IVIARSCHAN'S MATINEE MUSICALE. — This distinguished Prussian composer gave his concert yester day afternoon at Willis's rooms, when most ot his own produc tions were executed by the band of her Majesty's Ist Regiment of Life Guards. Weber's Oberon commenced the concert. After wards Mademoiselle Bertucat performed some rapid and diffi cult passages, surprising in so young a pla y er . Herr Gustav Brandt, a singer of much promise, sang two German songs with much taste. The rooms were full and fashionably attended. A fire broke out at Warsaw on the 23d ult. which excited great alarm. The Governor himself repaired to the spot, and the flames were not extinguished before. 16:houses (of wood) were consumed, and considerable damage done.

The Dee brought no freight, and has not a Mexican or New Orleans mail. LOSS OF THE ROYAL MAIL COMPANY'S STEAM SHIP _MEDINA. • (From the Nassau Royal Gazette.) By the arrival of the roya mad-packet schooner Larne, we have learnt the disastrous fate which has befallen the Com pany's steamer Medina, at Turk's Island, on the 11th May. As the communication of Lieut.-Colonel Falls, Deputy Ad jutant-General in the Windward and Leeward Islands, and one or twe accompanying documents; are now published, which give the particulars of the sad accident, it is very gratifying to know that this loss has not been attended with that of life and limb. Captain Burney, with his officers, remained at the wreck in order to effect the saving of every thing that may be practicable. Amen the passengers on board the Medina when wrecked were the Earl Elgin. his lad), and Lady Charlotte Bruce, Lieut.-Colonel Falls, D.A. G., Commodore Byng, Cap tain Paget, R.N., J. J. Crawford, her Majesty's Consul for Havana, together with several other passengers. " TO THE EDITOR OF THE ROYAL. GAZETTE. " Sir,—Nassau bring the point from which the most imme diate and direct communication can be made as to the fate of the passengers and crew of the West India steam-vessel Me dina, which was wrecked on a reef of rocks on Ihursclsymorn ing, the 12th inst., to the east end of Turks Island, striking at one o'clock, a. 31., I have accori ingly prepared the tellowing brief statement for insertion in your journal, as I consider it the most certain mode of putting the relations and friends of the passengers and crew in possession of the material circum s'ances connected with the wreck of this splendid vessel, as well as the destruction of property to an enormous amount: " In the tir,t place, by the mercy of the Almighty, not a life has been lost, nor have any serious irjuries been received by the passengers or crew. " The baggage has, in a great portion, been recovered by the exertions of the c:ew of the Medina, as well as by the activity and the rapid assistance offered by Captain Resterick, of the contract West India schnoner Larne, in receiving all baggage on board when cnnveyed to his vessel. " To the shore boats, under the judicious order of Mr. Mis sick, of 'fucks Island, we are also much indebted, not only as far as concerned the baggage, hut in the immediate and rapid removal of the women and children from the wreck when the uncertainty existed as to the vessel keeping her position when apprehensions were entertained of her capsizing. " I have not the least doubt that when this matter comes to be inquired into, the exertions of the billowing officers will be fully appreciated by the Chairman and Directors of the Royal Mail Company—viz., Lieutenant Gardiner, R.N., Ad miralty agent ; Mr. Wer. , .yss, first officer, late of H.M.S., Seringapatam ; Mr. Burke. la•e of Cunard's line of steamers; and Mr. Hedger, third officer ; Mr. Thomson,' engineer ; Mr. Brown, purser. " When the vessel settled down and got firmly embedded across the reef which runs at right angles with her keel, and which could be perceived by the whole frame of the heavy steam machinery being forced up about seven or eight inches, the mercy of Providence was clearly ,shown ; and that there was a prospect of the loss of life being very trifling in comparison to what would have been the result had she lain in an oblique position on the said reef. or parallel twit, in which case she might have been capsized by the heaving of the sea; and as heavy articles of every description were loose upon the deck, amongst the rest. 229 iron jars of quicksilver, each weighing from 90 to 1001bs., and to have been disembarked at the first, owing to their great value, as well.as chains, spars, &c., almost all loose, the cabin doors broken open, and open ing and shutting with the greatest violence every time the sea struck her; bad she capsized, 179 persons (150 men, 15 women, and 14 children) would in all probability have been drowned or crushed to death, the water being deep on all sides of the reef. A, message, was delivered in my presence to Captain Burney by Lieutenant Davi , , Admiralty agent of the Tweed, that Lieutenant Ito ttley, R.N.,,pn leave of absence from the Tweed, begged to offer his services to do all that lay in his power,on. board the Medina, which were gladly accepted, and were very efficient. - - - "On my reaching the Larne schooner I learned that the passengers for Jamaica were ordered to the Tweed, those for England to the schooner Larne. " I am happy to say his Excellency the Earl of Elgin with his Lidy and Lady Charlotte Bruce were ultimately removed to the Tweed, they having embarked from the Blcdina 'and reached the schooner Lame with nothing but his Lordship's despatches. 'f he detachment of the 2d West India Regiment, stationed at Turks Island, under the command of Lieutenant Howell, were most active and useful. " the passengers, who are to gn to England, of the Medina, when wrecked, are Robert Dick, Esq., of the Island of Trini dad, with his family : Monsieur Rennay, a resident of St. 'fhoraas, but a native of Bordeaux; a M. Harrazsowitz, a Polish gentleman lately from La Guayra ; these gentlemen are ready to express their entire satisfaction at the ample attendance and obliging conduct of all the authorities on board the Medina and Larne, which must be gratifying to any person interested in the welfare of this establishment, FO desirable to be entertained uninterrupted, not only by the colonies of Great Britain but by those of the States.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " T.

AL Gurnuaya, Francis AP Vicar, P. A. H. Nugent, On the 7 h of May a severe shock of an earthquake was felt at Turks Island. On board the sieamer Tweed, off St. Domingo, it was also felt at the same time. It was supposed the ship had struck on a rock: the shock was so violent. Captain Beresford, of the .Rifle Brigade, at Bermuda, had obtained leave for four months to travel in the United States ; also Ciptain Lawrence, Lieutenants Dundas and Lloyd, of the same corps, departed together for the same destination. - A good many privates of the same were ill of fever, but not dan gerously, since the hot weather set in. A good many co• 1 and other vessels had come to St. George's in con.,equence of the steamers touching there. Sir Charles Metcalfe intended to leave his residency for Eng land in her Majesty's ship Vestal, Captain Parker, which ves sel was at Kingston preparing. Sir Francis Cockburn, Governor of Nastia, left that island for England on the ISth of May, on board the schooner Wil liam Ft), ster. _ _ ..._._.. The Medway steamer arrival at Nassau from New York on the night of the sth of Alay, and sailed neat day for Havanna!). Her Majesty's steamer Hydra, Commander Murray, had ar rived at Port Royal in four days from Belize, Honduras, bring ing the Lord Bishop and suite. We understand that the Ad miral, with a part of the fleet, was at that port. THE SILK CostrANN .—We understand that a very beai7ti ful sample of silk, weighing several pounds, has been brought to town from the establishment in St. Ann's, by Mr. Whit marsh. It is considered to be of very fine quality, and we re fer those curious in such matters to the aloe of Messrs. Barnet and Walker, where it may be seen. WRECK OF THE BRIG ELLEN SYMERS, OF DUNDEE, On the Bth of May, the weather being particularly tine, the brig Ellen Symers, of Dundee, wi sugar, ..in_guing•ont.- of Havana harbour, got on the rock opposite the Moro Fortin a mast unaccountable manner, and became a total wreck;:. 'The master reported very shortly after that his vessel was going all to pieces, and it would not be possible to save anything ; how ever, the circumstance being made known on boa -d the Illus trious, 72, Sir Charles Adam's flag-thip, the boats were in stantly prepared, and active officers to command, and a very great proportion of the cargo was saved. The brig, so far from going to pieces, was quite entire to all appearance when the Dee left. The dates from Jamaica are to the 7th ult. The Chamber of Deputies at Port-au-Prince were still in a state of siege by the forces of the President, who is considered likely to carry his despotic measures. Some delay has again been sustained by the Royal Steam Compaiii on landing the ofails at St. Jago de Cuba. The Spanish Government claims that they should he taken imme diately to the Post-office, and not to the British Consul. Mr. Clarke, her Majesty's Consul, opposed this, as directly con trary to his instructions—his 'duty being to verify all that may be transmitted in the mails, and then to forward them to the Post. office. The point is not yet sei tied—and the mails were landed in charge of the Consul's agent.; who gave the mail agent a receipt for the same. It remains to be seen whether the Government would seize them from his possession, as be had taken them to the Consulate-office. The jealousy of the Cuba Government is on the increa , e; they appear, by their conduct to distrust all strangers. CUBA SLAVE Soca it.—A sample of excellent Muscovado sugar was seen at St. Jago, which had sold for i dols., or 6s. per 1001bs. Spanish ; and another sample for 7s. We are afraid it is quite impr , ssible for our Jamaica planters ever to compete with such rates. The congratulations of the friends of Jamaica w ill b e s i ncere , on learning the followi ng ' result, as gleaned from a communi cation of Mr. Phillips, of London, to the authorities at Ja maica, relative to the copper rile raised at that island : The :ix samples of copper ore from Jamaica contained in the larger box have been analysed. When I received them they were merely marked 1,1, 1, and 2,2, 2 ; for the sake, however, of better identifying them I have now marked them as under, in addition ; as you will observe, to the etiginal marks. " As the samples in the small box were not marked, and are in very small pieces, I did not think it north while to analyse them, although some of them exhibit very favourable appear ances. " As the copper ore of Cornwall averages only about eight per cent., it is evident that the Jamaica ores a-e extremely productive, and must be very valuabie, provided they ea❑ be raised in sufficient quantity and not at too great an exp"nse. —I have, &c.

(From the New Orleans Picayune, April 19.) The Schooner Virginia. Antoinette arrived here yesterday from Vera Cruz. By passengers in this vessel we have been placed in possession of very recent letters from Mr. Kendall. He was still in the hospital but was enjoying excellect health and spirits. He writes to us in his usual good humour:. The Courier of last evening gives the following summary of the news:— " A letter from a respectable and well informed gentleman iu Vera'Cruz gives it as a current and generally accredited re port, that Santa Anna had o negotiated . a loan with English men for several millions of dollars, and had agreed t deliver the Californias into their hands, until the money should be returned. The yellow fever carried off four or five persons daily. Trade is represented as dull in Vera Cruz. A conducta, with money from the interior, was looked f or on the 15th instant. The captures lasely made b y the Texan vesse:s war had tended to cast a gloom aver ' the commerce of Vera Cruz. General Thompson had ar rived in the Woodbury, but had not landed when the Vir ginia Antoiuette sailed.. Since the above was written we hew conversed with an American gentleman, who left the city or Mexico on the 6th inst. He heard there of the English law to Santa Anna's Government, but did not understand that the Califotnias were to be given as a security. He adds t h a t the public mind was in an unsettled state in Mexico—there was thought to be a strong party opposed to Santa Anna, and some people went so far as to anticipate another revolution . Humours were also afloat that Santa Anna would declare him self Emperor, and seize on the property of the Church should. the clergy oppose him. About 20,000 troops were stationed the capital; 4,000 at Xalapa, 4,100 at Vera Cruz, and on siderahle bodies were said to be in the northern deparmea t • There Was no talk of invading Texas. The prisoners scr l : e still made to work in chains. Two cf them , however—one b y the name of Reward—had effected their escape. The Mated. States frigate Avecionian sailed from Vera Cruz on the 9t i fr inst., to go off Tampico. , The sloop of war Warr e n sage" from Vera Cruz on the 7th inst. The Government of bleile° hss renewed an old decree, requiring all strangers to have s pass ateett them, which pass is to be presented at the beginning of every year for reeinspemioe. A letter from General Bra s, ' dated at Chilpanciugo, March 23, gives an ;exeunt of the iir feat of a band of native Mexicans, or me mese who had tak e s up arms against the Government. It appears that the city San ellguel has received with open arms General Morazse wle.se defeat, by General Carrera, two years ago, is so vivia l % described by our traveller, Stephens., Dr. Rafael Gutierre l. Alaitinez, and some other :Mexicans of note, were on the 213t . i ' of march assaesinated in their houses, by a band of fifty abor y &tali, near Quechutenango." MALTA. MALTA, MAY 26.—We have accounts from Tripoli (in - Bari. biry) to the 22d inst., at which date the Savage brio -of-g at was at anchor there, fur the protection of British subjectr against the ungovernable temper and passions of Askar Alts whose detestation of Christians in general , and Brit ish sub j ect ' in particular, has reached such a pitch as to create much alarm' Accounts from Constantinople assert positively that the Pet on the repeated applications of the British Ambassador, Dr, determined on his toss.uediate removal, but there was a difficulV in naming a successor to the liking of Sir Stratford Canning,' who, it appears is, on this particular point, which the OW', considers of a secondar; nature, to be satisfied, in order tha t he may not have a pre.ext fur saying that the Government in : variably opposes his wishes, which it seems determined toe on Matters of greater women.;' now under discussion. Threir are many candidates, and the a p pointment is, as it were, tie t a. auction, the high- bidding being ..40,000 piastres. from fl Saib Pasha, one of the old school, .Vid likely to follow in tV footsteps of the peseta ruler of that:\ uttiortunate province whose inhabitants have already suffered eOuch and long ill the experiment of introducing a Turkish Go7ernor. Nothi I short of the nomination of one of the Caratnani fattlily, or v, Arab chief, will ever put an end to the anarchy % %hie.% prectOi r . and 'encourage the people from the interior to brit ' , in t he m produce for sale. Abd-ei-Gelel, it is said, has takenAfisurso and is now marching against the Messica, or plains outsi.le t gates of Tripoli. MALTA, Mal' :9. —The fleet has just hove in sight from t?f. eastward, but does not appear coming into port. The Vero"' from Athens and Corfu, and the Magicienne, from Alexay." dria, are hourly looked for. The latter arrived at Al exantb l on the 20th May, in two days and a half from Idleyrout, Ori seven from Sub, and was to leave for Alalta on the 21st May. The Rodney and Inconstant were at Beyrout on 14th of May. The Devastation lot ings accounts from Trilw d ? confirming the taking of Misurata by the Arabs , and A bd-e d Gelel was hourly looked for at the gates of Tripoli. On.ths appearance of the British division, Askar Ali got so alarre,i that he sent fur the Marabouts ( Arab saints) and cortso" them as to what he should do. These recommended the capitation of five Shieks, then prisoners in tie castle, assur. him that it would have the effect of driving the British Elti away without firing a shot. The old bigot carried this roliTg into execution, and decorated the outer walls of the castle .104 their heads. The ships moved away (for reasons bes t kne rl to the Admiral and Consul), and thus the Marabouts NO,: their prediction. It is said the Consul has intimated to i t ; Pacha that he would lodge no more complaints, nor press satisfaction for the past, since the matter was now before tPc, Sultan. The Devastation arrived yesterday afternoon in twe° l: , hours from Tripoli, with despatches from the Admiral, the 0 4 stance of which has not transpired ; and since these have; been sent on, it is naturally supposed that the fleet, whic?_ 4 l not been seen since the 24th, is expected back. The OrrP" has just arrived from Alexandria.
