A law has been passed, too, giving to the Supretne Court of the United States full jurisdiction in all ques tions in which the United States, or any one of them, is involved with foreign Powers. The 11141.4E0p case, then, has compelled them to settle this important point in the Constitution of the United States. That the matter was left without a provision was a reproach to- the Americans, and now that it is provided for, it will be a means of avoid ing disputes with other countries. Cotigress was ,to adjourn immediately after the departure of the packet. Some of the papers contain reports that Mexico was immediately to invade TexaS, and perhaps attack Galveston, and that the Texans were to invade Mexico; but nothing very definite appears in the Journals. V.re soe with great pleasure that the British Government has presented six gold medals, bearing the portrait of the QUEEN, to six Captains Of American ships, for their exertions in saving the lives of British seamen.

Not being allowed to introduce any abuse into the address presented to -her MAJESTY, and being disappointed in the scheme for making an attack on her Ministers under : the guise of a sermon, the Chief of the Non-Intrusionists. : takes advan tage of the occasion, and thus ven t s hi s rage on th Government :—" ThiS great munition (spiri tual independence) of all national churches, our spurious and short-sighted conservatives would, with singular infatuation, sweep away—giving their countenance to the unconstitutional aggres sions oftliose judicial Courts that are now tram pling under foot and effacing,eVery line of demar cation between the things of G(in and the things of C2ESAR. Meanwhile the-Ch urcil of Scotland, in the midst of these conflicting influences, be tween the last governing party which refused to extend her, and the present governing party which is attempting to .enslave her, will steer her ow,t,i rectilinear way. Sh e will neVer relin quish the ; principle of it National Establishment, but will rather be driven from all its privilegeS and endowments, than receive a mandate, or pay respect to an interdict,," from the civil power in things ecclesiakical. -In other words, she will consent. to be a IfOuntary rather than an Erastian Church ; and if our pliers will persevere in their present blind and ruinous policy, acting the part of Destructives under the name of Conservatives, she if abandoned by- the State, and erased from the institutions of the country, commit her righteous cause to that GOD IN'O will not forsake her in the day of adversity, and -to the sympathy and support of the people of Scotland." 1 slne This is a fair specimen of the language adopted by the Non-Intrusionists, and is bad enough for a lay writer in a weekly periodical, but for a Professor of Divinity, and a teacher of the sons of the Church, it is utterly disgraceful. We wish Mr. Fox MAULE, now the intimate associate of Sir R. PEEL, joy of his protegee, and we con gratulate her MAJESTY on having escaped such an infliction as a lecture from one of these mis guided and rebellious Churchmen. Party spirit is running high in Ireland. The representation of the University of Dublin has effected a split in the Tory camp. All the ultra- Tories cry out for HAMILTON, and abuse Lord ELIOT. This faction has the Irish Conservative Press at its disposal, and accordingly we find the Evening Mail, the Warder, the Statesman, the Drogheda Conservative Journal, the Carlow Sentinel, the Ulster Times, and a host of other Tory prints, crying "down with Lord ELIOT, May nooth, and National Education !" Such, in fact, are the great questions involved in the election, so far as a single election can involve anything, for the University of Dublin. Mr. HAMIL TON is plsdged to oppose the grant to Maynooth and the Irish Education system, and is therefore the pet of the Orange party ; Mr. SMITH, the Government candidate, will oppose neither, and hence the howl raised against him. " The Government," says the Warder, " in or der to carry out the Popery-bribing principles suggested by Lord ALVANLEY, and adopted by Lord ELIOT, might overbear the free voice of the University. If the grant to Maynooth is to be doubled next session—if collegiate privileges are to he bestowed upon Popish seminaries, after Whig example in England, it would be a conve nient preliminary to reduce the University of Dublin to the level of Kilkenny, Dungarvan, or Clonmel. Such, we boldly affirm, is the result contemplated by Lord ELIOT—a msster piece of policy in favour of Popery, too bold even for a Whig. It was reserved for a Conser vative Minister to make the treacherous attempt." Lord ELIOT pleases no party in Ireland. He is too liberal for the Tories, and too Tory for the Liberals; and hence, with the exception of the Dublin Evening Post, he finds no support from, the Press. We confess we like Lord ELIOT all the better for this unpopularity. It proves that his efforts are directed to ameliorate the bitter ness of faction, in a country distracted by party feuds. As regards the Liberal Press of Ireland, it could not better_serve the real interests of its party, than by relaxing its hostility to the Irish Government. Lord ELIOT is certainly nota Tory, In the sense that word is understood in Ireland. As regards most Irish questions, apart from per sons, his Lordship is a Whig and something more. One of the greatest delusions under which the Irish Tories laboured was in supposing that under the Premiership of Sir R. PEEL, they were to have a Government of their own kidney. Such a thing was never intended. Sir R. PEEL would no more think of refusing the grants to Maynooth and the Irish Education Board, than he would of proposing the sequestration of the property of the University of Dublin. Only in a dream could any statesman in his senses, not intent upon pulling down the fast rotting prop of Protestant ascendancy in Ireland, propose to himself the offering such an insult to the people of Ireland. As fbr the Orange faction, they have had their day, and must now make way for a race more tolerant in - religion, and more moderate in poli tics. England can no longer afford to govern Ireland in accordance with the passions, and through the instrumentality, of a sect. Ireland is a Catholic country, and must henceforth be governed upon principles agreeable to the reli gious, no less than to the political, feelings of the people, just as Scotland is governed. The Orange faction ought by this time to have learned all this, and much more. They had certainly time and opportunities enough before the late vacancy in the representation of the University. Surely the fact of the Lord Mayor of Dublin being a Roman Catholic, is of itself sufficient to prove to them that the sun of their glory has set for ever. There is still an absence of political news of any moment in the French journals. They have exhausted the Eastern and Right of Search questions, and though anxiously gazing in all directions, they cannot discover so much as a hand's breadth of a cloud in the political horizon portentous of a tempest anywhere. The French Government has appointed Cap tain BOUET Governor of Senegal. It is reported that M. ROYER COLLARD has refused a Peerage, on account of the unconsti tutional judicial powers which the Peers arrogate to themselves. It is much more likely that M. ROYER COLLARD'S contempt for the French Peerage prevents his acceptance of so question able a distinction. The St. Petersburgh Journal of the 30th ult. for mally denies the existence of conspiracies to assassinate the Emperor, and adds, that the festivities commemo rative of the 25th anniversary of the Emperor's mar riage had been celebrated, as set down in the pro gramme, with pomp and magnificence, and that they had taken place in the island of Jelagin and at Peter hoff, the summer residence of the Court. " The King of Prussia," adds that journal, " assisted at all the feasts. He was seen walking about, sometimes alone, and sometimes with the Emperor and Empress. He was likewise present at all the reviews and parades ; and, if there had been only two conspirators, it would have been easy for them to make an attempt against the lives of the two Sovereigns, they having no escort nor means of defence. The King of Prussia fixed the day of his departure immediately on his arrival." The Moniteur of to-day publishes in its official part an ordinance of the 10th, by which M. Villemain, Minister of Public Instruction, is to exercise, ad interim, the functions of Minister of the Interior. AI. Duchatel, the. Minister of the Interior, will set out to-day for the department of the Gironde. It seems that the King will shortly return from the Chateau d'Eu. A part of the household Irs been sent to-day to St. Cloud, in order to prepare every thing for his Majesty's reception. The accounts received to-day at Paris, represent the indispositi on o f th e Ki ng o fH anover as very serious.. His Majesty was still a t D usse ld or f , i n th e p a lace of the Prince of S o l ms, where the ablest physicians h ad arrived from different places. But, at the departure of the last ac counts, the symptoms of the disorder were still very alarming. Th e K ing is now in his 72 d year , and the Prince Royal, his son, in his 24th year.

The French Minister of Marine has instituted a committee to inquire into the grievances of the mer chants interested in the gum-trade against the com pany to whom the Governor of Senegal made over, in January last, the monopoly of that article. The committee, composed of delegates froth the Chamber of Commerce, and of the Director of the Colonies, is to meet in Pa r i s t owar d s t h e l atter end of September. Accounts from Madrid of the sth instant, state that it was believed that a fresh misunderstanding had occurred between Spain and Portugal, arising, it was supposed, out of M. Almadovar's to M. Costa Cabral and the commercial treaty lately con cluded between Great Britain and Portugal. The Spanish Consql at Oporto had announced to his Government that the Portuguese authorities had caused to be arrested, at his request, a number of criminals who had sought refuge in Portugal, as well as the ex-Carlist Lieutenant-Colonel Javier Blanco Marquina, who had just arrived from Bordeaux. According to the Barcelona journals of the 6th inst. two small bands had made their appearance near Vich and Villadran. One of the rebels belonging to the latter had been taken prisoner and shot. On his way through Girona General Z urbano delivered a list of 11 Republicans to the first constitutional Alcalde, with an order to expel them from the province within three days. The Augsburg Gazette of the Bth inst. quotes a letter from St. Petersburgh of the 27th ult., an nouncing that the Emperor had increased the sala ries of the diplomatic and consular agents of Russia in the Ottoman empire. The Ambassador at Con stantinople is to receive in future 36,000 roubles per annum. Besides the ordinary personnel of the Chan cery, a special office for commercial affairs is to be attached to the Legation. There are to be Consuls- General in Egypt, at Smyrna, and in Servia, and a Consulate at Jassy. A letter from Schnitz, dated the Ist inst., state 3 that, in the afternoon of the preceding day, the mag nificent forest on the frontiers of Saxony and Bohemia caught fire and threatened the most, terrible ravages. At distances of a league from the frightful scene, the foresters of the two countries were labouring inces santly in felling trees and digging wide trenches, in the hope of stopping its progress.. On the Saxon side, upwards of 200 acres are said to live been destroyed, but the damage done within the Bohemian territory was so great as to be incalculable. The fire was not extinguished when the last aceounts left, although 1,000 persons had been employed in endeavouring to stop it ; 500 acres of trees had been already consumed. A great excitement having been manifested among the Christians of Lebanon on the arrival of Admiral Baron Lasusse upon the coast of Syria, Omer Pacha was obliged to make advances to the Druses, who have promised him assistance if circumstances oblige him to have recourse to arms.

The state of the agricultural labourers in Oxford shire may be gathered from the fact that one parish in that county, with a population of about 1,100, is without a day-school. The rate of wages fluctuates from ss. and 6s. to 10s. a week. Uncleanness and insobriety prevail to a great extent, and the houses of the labourers are dens of misery. A .ccounts from Newfoundland, of the 24th July, received at Dieppe, state that the cod-fishery on some parts of the coast had been abundant; but, on the north Ind the extreme south, it bad turned out very badly.

LOCUSTS IN GREECE —DITTO IN ENGLAND.— We learn by the last accounts from Athens, that such vast clouds of locusts have appeared in the provinces of Greece, that King Otho has -issued a Proclamation on the subject, wherein he exhorts all " good citi zens" to endeavour, each to the best of his ability, to extirpate these destructive insects.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am much pleased with the intention—so far as the writer, perhaps, knew his own intention —in the composition of the leading article of The E °ening Sun of the 3d of September, as of many of your leading articles. It has much of the shrewd remark and good .design of most of the offhand writings of your Papel:, with some portion of un steady reasoning and needless difficulties. It wishes present legislators so instructed as most safely and easily to guide society to the haven which it must reach, at the very moment it has said that all former legislators were nemr so instructed to guide society to what it is at already —but that it has grown up in the course of nature, and will most probably in fu ture as heretofore. " What is required, therefore," it goes on to say, "is to try to make the present legislation as accordant as possible with the future state of society." This is a jumble. We must first know what that future state will be—which is plainly impossible. It then modestly intimates the unfitness of English journalists for such a task, and cannot be lieve party statesmen equal to it. It concedes the task to philosophers—the great masters of thought— though it knows of none such, either at home or elsewhere. The present state of society is plain enough ; the causes and cure are required, which it considers as covered with obscurity and difficulty. Now I think that both causes and cure have been in your own Paper pointed out very lucidly again and again. The causes of the prosperity of the country have been repeatedly stated in your own Paper, and with perfect truth, to have been owing, under God, to the superior skill and industry of the inhabitants thereof, signally favoured by, wonderful local advan tages, and by a larger degree of liberty than has been known elsewhere throughout the old civilised world ; while the great causes of its all but overbalancing adversity have been' old institutions unrepaired, and unfitted to modern ,necessities, and, above all, class legislation. Thus, Sir, you have been more of a philosopher and master of deep thought than you re collected yourself to be—as .1 once knew a good man, of first-rate genius and capacious memory, ac tually forget one of many sermo ns • w hi c h h e h a d written and published, and which had secured the notice of all the pious reading population of Europe! But, although you had forgotten, your present reader had not ; and probably many of your readers bene ficially remember what you have written on such all-important subjects. Let class legislation be de stroyed. Let every Englishmen be made free of the State, and have his voice or vote in the arrangements of his country. Justice demands this. Equity calls loudly for it. It is not for us to know the hereafter; but we all know what we ought to do at present. We ought to do justly. The man who desires to be a class legislator, desires to be, and will most surely be, an unjust legislatOr. Such a man may be pitied and borne with, but not so his wish. His wish should be scouted and denied. Equity and justice are the bright leading stars to future prosperity and happiness. All other light is an ignis fatuus. Never be weary of recurring to your own lights, Mr. Editor ; they will prove sure guides to you and bles sings, through you and such as you, to your country — more powerful in its defence than cannon and the sword, and more stimulating, protective, and purify ing than they of all that is worthy in its institutions, sciences, arts, and almost super-human inventions. How you can get by the People's Charter, or the Complete Suffrage scheme, I know not. What else have you to propose? How else can you put aside class legislation? In none other way. You clever men are more for profound philosophers, and are more afraid of the brute multitude, than you need be. There are more philosophers and philosophy in the brute multitude than you are all of you, perhaps, aware of. Encourage them and it by conceding to all equal rights. Justice, justice, justice to all, with out respect of persons. Set no limit to justice. Your admirer and obliged, September 7. H. P. THE TRIAL AND SENTENCE OF THOMAS MUIR FOR SEDITION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l haVe read with much interest the extracts of "A. M. from the trial of Thomas Muir, as lately published in the Scotsman, who was transported to Botany Bay for agitating a Reform of the 13ritish. Parliament ; and although these extracts are taken from Creeclie':3 edition of the trial, the publisher for the party then in power, they cannot, I am sure, be read without exciting the strongest feelings of indig nation at the gross perversion of law and justice they exhibit. It seems strange that there should be individuals of the present day still ready to advocate the Tory prin ciples then inculcated, and that it should be urged against the memory of men who were sacrificed for advocating a cause now admitted to have been a just and necessary one, that they suffered under the law as it then existed. Tyranny exercised u n d er th e . and colour - of law, is the greatest of all tyrannies, and under this species of persecution, many religious and political martyrs, whose blood stained our native land, were sacrificed. That Mr. Muir and his fellow-sufferers, to whose memory the proposed testimony is to be offered, were men of high talent, and of the purest character in private life, are facts well established ; but, as it seems unknown, or at least notacknowledged by those who oppose a site b ing granted for the purpose wanted, I will (like .A. Al.) furnish you with a few extracts from Parliamentary proceedings in my pos session, and collected at the time, that may tend to put tha facts beyond dispute. In the House of Commons, on 27th January, 1794, the question as to the legality of the sentences against Muir and others; were transiently alluded to by the late Lord Commissioner of. the Jury Court, then Mr. Adam, upon giving notice of his intention of intro ' ducing a Bill to assimilate the criminal law of Eng• land and Scotland upon certain . points; and Mr. Fox and Mr. Dundas took a part in the discussion, wherein allusion was made by Mr. Fox to th e general opinion of these sentences being illegal, when Mr. M.Angelo Taylor begged leave to inform the House—" That he was in Edinburgh the day after the sentence of trans portation was pronounced against Mr. Muir ; that he - conversed with several gentlemen versed in the laws of that country, who informed him the sentence was in every respect illegal, the authority of one of them (the Hon. Henry Erskine) he would depend upon as soon as that of any gentleman on the other side of the House, who had declared i n suc h st r o ng t erms th e sentence to be legal; and of his opinion, Mr. Taylor declared himself to be."—(See Caledonian Mercury of Ist Feb. 1794.) In the House of Lords, Earl Stanhope moved, upon 31st January, 1794, an humble address to his Ma jesty to stay proceedings against Mr. Muir, who had been condemned to exile, till the particulars were in quired into ; and in the course of his speech he cha racterised the proceedings of the Court against Mr. Muir "to be of the most extraordinary, and, in his mind, of the most unjustifiable nature that ever came before a court of justice." The Earl of Lauderdale warmly expressed a similar opinion, and was "not surprised that the nation should look with disgust at the oppressive and illegal pro ceedings of the High Court of Justiciary with regard to these unfortunate sufferers."—(See Caledonian Mercury of 6th Feb. 1794.) The late Mr. Sheridan presented a petition to the House of Commons on 24th Feb. 1794. on the part of the Rev. Fysche Palnier, complaining of an illegal judgment of the Court of Justiciary of Scotland, and during the discussion that' followed, Mr. Fox gave it "as his most decided opinion that the sentences of Messrs. Muir and Palmer were illegal and abhorrent to every principle of justice that actuates the mind of • man." "The sentence," said Mr. Sheridan - (of Muir and Palmer), "I affirm in every respect to have been the most hostile to the principles of the Constitution, and in its nature the • niost unjust, illegal, and oppressive —it is such a sentence that if it had taken place in England, I should not have been surprised that the country had risen up in arms to oppose it ; and as little should I have been surprised if the attempt to introduce the law on which this sentence is founded into the country, should have cost the head of that Minister who should have dared so grossly to insult the • principles of the British Constitution."—(See Mercury of Ist March, 1794.) During a renewed debate in the House of Com ..mons, upon 10th March 1794, Mr. Fox said, that "in examining the trials he could never believe they were accurately stated until he heard the Lord Advocate avow the same doctrines which had been attributedt6 him—doctrines, which made his blood run chill with horror; they must infuse sensations into the breast of any man who retained his love for liberty or the bles sings of social life." Mr. Grey (now Earl Grey) said, the sentences in question would have been a disgrace to the tribunals of this country in the worst periods of our history; and he could not conceive how the Right Hon. Gen tleman could possibly reconcile to his own mind the idea of executing these sentences, since these unfortu nate gentlemen had stolen every word of their sedi tion from what had formerly been stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman himself (Mr. Pitt) at the Thatched house, when he was an advocate for a Parliamentary ei7orin. lie said he was not sure that those unfortu nate gentleman had not got into their present distress in consequence of what he had brought forward on the subject of a Parliamentary reform. They had done no more than every Member of Parliament had done who was a friend to that Reform."—(See Mercury of 17th March, 1794.) The following letter from the late Lord Holland to Mr. Hume, M.P., shows the opinion which he entertained of the treatment of these early Parlia mentary Reformers South-street, March 7th, 1837.

PRESTON, SATURDAY EVENING.—This interesting carnival has concluded under circumstances equally auspicious with its commencement. Yesterday morn ing a grand treat was given to the children belonging to the National and other public schools in the town, and upwards of 4,000 promenaded through .the dif ferent streets. Amongst the most conspicuous were the schools attached to the different Catholic charities, which are very numerous and well supported. Of these 190 were sent down in carriages, provided for the occasion, to the new town of Fleetwood, by the Preston and Wyre Railroad, w h ere t h ey were ele gantly regaled at the North Euston Hotel. The sudden rise and present magnificence of this town, built under the auspices of Sir Hesketh Fleetwood, one of the representatives of the boroinsh, exceed anything on present record. Distinct from other places, there are neither reminiscences for the archueo logist or the geologist, and yet a flourishing town, containing upwards of 2,000 persons, incorporated by Royal Charter, has sprung up within five years, on a spot which, nearly surrounded by the sea, was only occupied as a rabbit warren. The scenery presents a wide range of view of the expanse of the Irish Sea, the distant mountains of Ingleborough and York shire, the romantic site of the I s l e o f M an, and the hills which surr oun d Winderme re and the other famed lakes of this part of the country. The races in the afternoon were better attended than on the preceding day, but the grand attraction was the grand " fancy dress ball," at the Corn Ex change. On this occasion upwards of one thousand persons were present. Many of the uniforms and characters were of the most splendid descripti on , having been used at h er Majesty's Royal bul masque. Amongst those present were the Duke of Brunswick, Mr. Wilson Patten,M.P., Major-General Sir William Whitehead, Sir Thomas De Trafford, Bart., Townely Parker, Esq., late M.P. for the county, the Earl of Balcarras, Hon. Mr.. Lindsay, and most of the aris tocracy of the surrounding country. The proceedings of the present Guild have not been inferior to those of any on modern record. The at tractions of the Guild week have been open to all classes, and create a cordiality of feeling in the town which will not be readily obliterated. The above lighthouses will be lighted on the 13th of this mouth. VESSELS SPOKEN WITH.-Dochfbur, Bristol to Que bec, Bth instant, lat. 49, lon. 11, by the Maria Jane, arrived at Cork.

Although no hopes were entertained that animation could be restored, the reme dies, such as a warm-bath and artificial respiration, were applied. The longest time he ever knew of a person being in the water, and yet of animation being restored, was four minutes and a half. This occurred with a fe male servant of Sir Robert Peel, who attempted self destruction, but was rescued. He (Mr. Williams) was positive as to her being under the water the time he had stated, as a gentleman, a Member of Parlia- I ment, who was standing on the bridge, took out his watch the moment she threw herself off for the purpose of seeing how long it would be before she was recovorec'. In answer to a question from a juror, Mr. Williams said that the first appearance of returning animation in a person immersed in the water, was a slight vibration of the muscles ; this was followed by a low moaning, termi nating in a violent screaming. The party then became conscious, but complained of the most dreadful pains in the head, arising from the congested state of the vessels of the brain. To show the excellent arrangements of the Royal Humane Society, and the indefatigable exer tions of its officers during the bathing season, out of between forty and fifty accidents by persons getting out of their depth, sinking from exhaustion, cramp, &c., only one case has terminated fatally, the average number of of bathers per day being nearly 2,000. LORD DENMAN AND TILE POOR MATCIIMAN.—On Saturday, Lord Denman passed through this town, ac companied by his son, for his seat at Stoney Middleton. On his Lordship's carriage stopping in front of a fish monger's shop in Fargate, a tall, venerable-looking ar tizan of the town approached with a small basket in his hand, and lifting his hand to his hat, his Lordship in• quired what he had fur sale ? He then unwrappd a c:ean white cloth, and exposed to the noble passenger a small stock of matches. Immediately afterwards the vehicle was driven off ; and a bystander going up to the old man , . put the s i gn ifi cant question to him, " What's he gfen thee ? " " Nothing," was the ready reply. The other, however, assured him he had seen something fall into the basket, and on its being again opened, to their surprise a sovereign was found amongst the humble wares. The carriage driving away, the old man lifting up his arms and uttering blessings on his unknown bene factor, and the gathering knot of people to inquire into the " why and the wherefore thereof," altogether af forded the elements of a picture worthy of a first-rate pencil.— Sheffield Iris. LEICESTNIL—EXTRAORDINARY ROBBEIZY.-011 Sa turday last a robbery was committed in the house of Mr. John Taylor, under the following singular circum stances :—Mr. Taylor has two residences, one at Leicester and another at Belgrave. having been at tacked with illness, he remained at the latter place till Saturday, leaving a girl about seventeen years of age to. manage during the absence of the regular housekeeper.. In the night of Friday the girl arose, and proceeded to a room in which her master had deposited a sum of money; breaking open a drawer she took sixteen sovereigns therefrom, and then cut her hair close off, so as to re semble that of a man ; she afterwards entered a room in which two or three men servants were sleeping, and put ting on a suit of clothes belonging to one of them left the house. The man to whom the clothes belonged, missing thera upon rising, searched the house, and finding a quantity of hair that the girl had cut off, and the girl herself missing, he gave an alarm. Mr. Taylor, being made acquainted with the circumstance, caused informa tion to be given to tho police. who succeeded in cap turing her, in her di sguise , w i t h t h e pr i nc ip a l part of the property up on h er , near M e l ton .

AN AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.--The Gazette de Guernsey of Saturday last contains a ludicrous story of an English Methodist preacher having been caught by a lady in her kitchen cupboard, where he had been .con celled by a pretty maid-servant, to whom he was mak ing love, and this, too, on a Sunday ! The evident con fusion of the girl upon the return home of her mistress, nearly two hours earlier than usual, was the fatal cause of this scandalous discovery. The dismayed preacher was suffered to depart, but not, we fear, " in peace."— Liverpool Journal A letter from Havre, Sept. 8, state that a band.of robbers, who had lately committed many depredations in. that neighbourhood, had just been arrested. Amongst them are several liberated convicts. A Toulon letter, of the 7th inst., says:—" A speedy departure of four ships from Admiral Hugon's squadron for the Levant is talked of. The Inflexible and Sand Petri are to return with Admiral de la Susse. By the Veloce steamer, from the Islands of the Ilyeres, we learn that the Admiral has ,only two more ships to inspect, viz., the Friedlaed and Hercule ; and, as soon as that is. done, the squadron will return to Toulon. The Veloce has gone back." THE SHEFFIELD TRADE STILL DECLlNlNG.—Not withstanding the empty boastings of some speculatists about revivals in trade, we feel compelled to state the awful fact that not only are the wages in several branches of the Sheffield trade rapidly decreasing, but that most respectable manufacturers continue to reduce the number of their workmen. The number of decent, nay respect able men sweeping the streets, affords daily ono of the most heart-rending sights—a complete damper to all our old English feelings of national pride ; and when we are to arrive at the worst, God only knows. Sometime ago we thought the zero of public suffering had been reached, bet the thermometer still descends. A precious state of things, this, in a world teeming with plenty Sheffield Iris. The Nantes journals relate that in the afternoon of Thursday last, as six men were engaged in digging the foundation of a house, at the cornerot the Rue d'Argente, the earth fell in and buried. four of them. The autho rities, the military, and other assistance, were immedi ately at work for their release. Two of them were very shortly got out alive and without any fractures, though severely bruised ; a third was next found dead from suffocation ; but in consequence of the earth giving way repeatedly in the operation, it took four hours to reach and disinter the fourth. This operation required the more time, as the poor fellow was laid with his arms fastened behind his back, in such a position that he could make no effort to help himself. He was, how ever, taken out alive, though severely bruised. All the three survivors were carried to the hospital, wh ere they are likely to recover in a very short time. The King, having been informed that a seaman of Havre, named Moye, had invented a check for stopping horses when running away, ordered his private secretary, ago, to write to the inventor the following few da";,sThe King is aware that, from a sentiment letter : which he approves, you are engaged in. an invention of great utility.

In 'the passage the Spanish vessel was taken by an English ship of war, and Muir, who happened to be upon deck during the engagement, was severely wounded, and landed in Spain with the wounded pH-. soners ; and, upon that fact being made known in Paris, he was sent for, and carried to that capital, as a martyr in the cause of freedom, where he was treated with great care and attention till he died. He thus became a complete martyr to the cause of Reform ; and the persecutions that were intended to destroy the cause, only made it more conspicuous, and ultimately triumphant.—l am, &c., W.
