at a conversation which took place under a tent, between Turks of rank from Constantinople and several Beys from the interior, and was so pleased with the spirited manner in which it was carried on by both parties as to remain with them two hours. The establishment of Lancasterian schools, the im provement of roads, and ameliorations in agriculture and com merce, formed the topics of discussion. Its immediate practi cal results were, that the Bey from Larissa manifested the de termination of taking with him, on his leaving Constantinople, a teacher acquainted with the system of mutual instruction, in order to establish in his native town a school on that principle. The Moussellim of Loull6 Bourgerz declared it also his in tention to do the same. A Bey resident at Constantinople laid a wager with a person present, who doubted the possi bility of carrying the thing into execution, that before two months he would have established a school of that kind in his own house. I am sorry I cannot send you a very favourable sketch of the bride, for she is represented by those who have been able to know something about so mysterious a matter as disfigured by the small-pox, as having strongly-marked features, grey eyes, and almost total deficiency of eyebrows ; her stature is below the average ; her age is 22, which for this precocious clime is considered as somewhat passe . e. Unfortunately for her, and still more so for her bridegroom, she is passionate, capricious, of a haughty, reserved, and selfish disposition—a complete shrew, not admitting of being tamed. Yet, in spite of all these faults, she has constantly been her father's favourite. Even before coming out of the carriage which brought her from her father's palace to the one destined for her residence, she gave to her expected husband a lesson which at once effectually taught him that predestination has doomed him to unmerciful henpecking. As soon as the carriage stopped before the gate of her new palace, Halil Pacha presented himself to hand her out. In vain did he embrace her feet—in vain did he address her in oriental metaphors, and kneel before her, use the most impassionate language, and the tenderest and most pressing invitations. He could not even prevail upon her to cast a look towards him. Exposed to:the rays of a scorching sun, he remained more than half an hour in this humble attitude, till strength and language almost failing him, he repeatedly cried out with a fainting voice, " Alas, my Sovereign, willst thou not take pity on thy slave !" Even the eunuch who accompanied her was moved to compassion : he united his intreaties to the Pacha's tears, but equally to no purpose. It is difficult to say how long this scene might have been prolonged had not the Sultan arrived in person to unloose this dignus vindice nodus. With an imperious nod she ordered Halil Pacha to rise from the ground, where he lay prostrate, and was led by him to the gates of the harem. He then withdrew to the selamlik, or men's apartments, there to wait her further orders. The six Cadinnes or wives of the Sultan, the Odalisks, and the nume rous female retinue of the imperial harem, the Sultan's three sisters, and her own two brothers and sisters, who had accom panied her, mounted then to her apartment, and welcomed her according to the eastern ceremony. The first Hanims, or wives of the grandees of the empire, and those of the Pachas, were immediately after introduced into her presence, and per mitted to kiss her foot. During the performance of this cere mony the Sultana, it was observed, not only did not address a single word to any of these ladies, but not even conde scended to look at t hem, keeping her head constantly averted to one side. It was then announced to them, that to confer upon them an additional mark of favour, the Sultan had graciously ordered that they, as wives of his faithful ser vants, should be permitted to perform obeisance before the mother of the bride. Ushered into another apartment, they were, according to their rank, led before a door guarded by the chief eunuchs, at the bottom of which appeared the hem of her robes. Kneeling on the ground they reverentially ap proached, raised it to their lips and forehead, and withdrew. To such an extreme is jealousy pushed in the imperial harem, that no mortal except their immediate attendants is ever per mitted to cast his profane eye on a Cadinne ! The liberty which the Sultan granted them of accompanying his daughter is considered by every one among the Turks as an unprece dented fact in the annals of the Seraglio, an instance men tioned by the old and fanatic as a convincing proof of the de pravity of modern times. My fair informant tells me that wonderful are the alterations which the ladies' dresshas under gone on this occasion. " Wallahah !we are about being meta morphosed into Franks," said she, with that naiveté so general among Turkish females. " Only think, we all wore silk stock ings and satin sleeves, gloves, pelerines, and spencers with gigot sleeves ! On our entering the imperial harem the dress we wore was taken from us, and we were dressed by the eunuchs after the new fashion. Some of us went even to the length of putting on artificial curls. Wallahah ! Islam kalmadee ! Upon my honour, Mahomedanism no longer exists !" After welcoming his daughter to her new palace and giving her his blessing, the Sultan withdrew to an apartment where, to their infinite surprise, the ladies invited to the harem were ushered in and allowed the honour of embracing his Highness's feet. A ring and a shawl was, on their leaving the room, given to each of them in the Sultan's name. Shortly after the Yatzee hour for performing the evening prayer, a loud clapping of hands re-echoed during several minutes throughout the harem, interrupted now and then by the shrill voices of twenty eunuchs, ordering every lady to 'withdraw to her apartment, for the bridegroom was about to pass. The Sheik Islam and the most distinguished Ulemas and Imauns accompanied him to the gate of the harem, and after repeating a long prayer, to which those present said " amen," pushed the Pacha with force into the apartment of the ''omen, and drawing the door with violence, locked him in. If I may judge by the manner of Halil Pacha, whom I have repeatedly seen since, he and his wife are now on excellent terms with each other.' BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JULY 6.—The King and Queen will pass through Tournay on Saturday next, the lath of July, on their return from Paris. Their Majesties will alight at the Episcopal Palace. A person who is in a situation to be well informed, has transmitted to us some particulars respecting the approachint , distribution of the Iron Cross ; about 300 of the first class, and 600 of the second will be bestowed. But it is probable that there will be a second distri bution, after the fetes of September, because, while there is a mass of applicants supported by no proofs, it has been proved that a greater number of wounded, all of whom have claims, have not eren sent petitions. It is said that Baron Neumann, who has been sent to Beboush on the part of the Court of Austria, is now commissioned to make proposals at London in the name of his Sovereign, respecting the Luxemburg question, and that he is the bearer of an ultimatum from which the Court of Vienna will not in any point depart. The crew of the North American vessels in the port of Antwerp celebrated, on the 4th, the anniversary of American independence. The Chamber of Representatives is proceeding with the law rela tive to the import and transit duties on linens.—Brussels Papers, July 7. BOSNIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 24.—The accounts given in the Agrees Gazette of the 17th, of a new eruption made from Bosnia into the Austrian territory, and especially of an attack on the fron tier fortress Czetten, furnishes a new proof of the barbarous, savage, and murderous manner of the Turks who inhabit the pro vince. This applies especially to those who inhabit that part of Bosnia which is called Turkish Croatia. Hence have always pro ceeded most of the violations of the Austrian territory, and the plundering incursions which have at different times obliged the Aus trian government to obtain satisfaction for itself, and to chastise the robbers, as any representation to the Porte to obtain satisfaction and security against future depredations failed, because the Porte itself found it quite impossible to keep this province in a state of tranquillity. It is even positively affirmed that the Porte, on a si milar occasion some years ago, declared that Austria might obtain satisfaction for itself; and particularly:that it should seek out and destroy the retreat of the banditti and rebels of that province ; nay, that if it thought fit, it might occupy with a military force, or incor porate with its own dominions the small part of Turkish Croatia to the place where the Unna forms a national boundary ; that the Porte could be only a gainer by such a step, as it would be thereby rid of a small portion of its subjects that were always in a state of rebellion against it, and Turkey would thereby, instead of losing strength, rather gain, since it almost required the constant employ ment of a separate corps of troops to preserve order and obedience among this population, which is always in a state of rebellion and anarchy. This alleged expression of the Porte is now generally expected, as measures are about to be taken to chastise the authors of the late excesses, and an ardent wish is generally enter tained that Austria, acting for the interest of civilisation would at length occupy . with a military force that part of Turkish Croatia which is separated from the rest of Bosnia by the Unna, which forms a natural boundary, and where the banditti have most of their lurking places, the more so as the actual frontier affords no security whatever against incursions, and can only be protected by a living wall, viz. the armed population of the frontier. This wish is especially cherished by the Christian inhabitants of Turkish Croatia, who, in the present state of things, are in constant fear for their property and their lites. But will Austria, whose principles are strictly conservatory, fulfil these wishes? This is a question which Ido not venture to answer even conjecturally. VIENNA, JUNE 28.-5 per Cent.

A trial has recently taken place in Corsica for one of those frequent murders, the result of ancient feuds, for which that country is so deplorably remarkable. The names of the prisoners were Marsilius Nicolai and Jacques Grigi. The following was the substance of the evidence against them :—On the 18th of April, 1833, J. Ferri, J. Luccioni, and Nicodemus and Paul Automarchi, seized some sheep which were found trespassing upon the lands of the Automarchi, and which belonged to a family called Nicolai, with whom they had been for a long time at variance. As they were driving the s h e ep to the pound, they came about noon to a part of the road called Repositajo, when they were suddenly assailed by a shower of musket-balls, aimed at them by seven or eight individuals, amongst whom were Marsilius Nicolai and Jacques Grigi. Ferri and Nicodemus Automarchi were killed on the spot, and Luccioni, who received two balls, one in the breast and the other in the right eye, expired a few hours after. Paul Automarchi, though severely wounded, succeeded in making his escape. Paul Automarchi deposed that he -recognized Marsilius Nicolai amongst the assassins, and that it was he who fired at him. Other witnesses declared that, immediately before dying, Luccioni had affirmed that Mar.. silius Nicolai was one of the murderers. The next witness was John Baptist Luccioni, the father of one of the victims. Being asked by the President, at the desire of the prisoner, if he was not his enemy, he turned towards Nicolai, and with the most impassioned gestures and tone of voice thus addressed him 0, Marsilius you say lam your enemy ? But are you not Marsilius? Is it not to you and your brothers that we owe all our misfortunes? Have you not ravaged our fields, rooted up our olive-trees, killed our cattle, besieged our houses, and ruined our families? Is it not to you that I owe the death of a brother, a brother-in-law, two nephews, and a son ? Do you not know me ? Look me full in the face. I know you well—you are Marsilius !" This apostrophe pro duced a profound effect both upon the prisoner and the audi ence. The jury acquitted Grigi, but found Marsilius Nicolai guilty of murder, and the Court sentenced him to hard labour for life at the hulk. PRICES OF STOCKS THI! Paiik Stack ,•• S per Cent.

THE LAST AND ONLY CHANCE. / r ARTIN and CO. respectfully announce that on the It'll 22d of THIS MONTH (July), the PRESENT LOT TERY WILL BE DRAWN. After that day Lotteries will cease. Adventurers will only have this opportunity . to gain a large sum at a trifling risk. The Scheme contains Prizes of £16,000 £lO,OOO £3,000 £2,000, &c. &c. The holders of Prizes will have the option of receiving the Property (or Money, as soon as drawn) deducting five per cent. on prizes above 1001. to cover expenses in selling that property. Martin and Co. sold No. 404, a Prize of 10,0001., at No. 8, Cornhill, and No. 86, Oxford-street ; and, as usual, paid the same on demand. We now present THE SUN to our readers in the enlarged form which we promised at the beginning of the Session. The delay arose entirely from unavoid able circumstances which we could not contemplate, and the disappointment of the public cannot have been greater than our own. From the additional facilities which the increased size of the paper affords, together with new type and superior machinery, we hope to render THE SUN still more worthy of general support, fir we appeal not to any party, but to the public at large. It is our intention, as opportunity permits, to devote a fair share of the paper to Literary and Scientific, as well as to other purposes ; but as " doings" are better than "sayings," we shall leave it to the public to judge THE SUN according to its future deserts. 42 , 4,ANts Erijr VIIIt+ LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1834 RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. Lord ALTHORP has resigned. Lord GREY, un able or unwilling to conduct his MAJESTY'S affairs without Lord ALTHORP's assistance in the Commons, has also tendered his resignation, and retires full of years and glory from the post which he has filled as much to the permanent advantage of his country as to his own honour. Both these statesmen will this day explain the causes of their respective resignations to Parliament. It would be idle to forestall their statements, but there is little doubt that embarassments arising from some difference of opi nion on the clauses of the Coercion Bill—some variation in the views of the Irish Government— and still more, from the unusual and imprudent disclo sure of such circumstances to Mr. O'CoNNELL— have led to the step of Lord ALTHORP's resigna tion. The rest seems to follow of course. The public are as yet more deeply interested in the effects than the causes—in the future than the past—but who can ven ture to foretell the consequences of a dissolution of a Mi nistry, which will leave the country over which it pre - sided with increasing revenues and diminished expen diture, with its freedom enlarged and its commerce ex tended ; with peace secured and honour asserted ; with prosperity in all its branches increased and in creasing ? To continue these benefits must, and ought to be, the endeavour of all who are employ ed in the construction of a new Cabinet ; and though we cannot venture to speculate on the exact result, yet, when we reflect on the aspect of affairs—on the strong current of public opinion--and last, though not least, on - the plain, direct, and patriotic character of our SOVEREIGN, we are prepared to say, what will not happen, though we dare not predict what will. The Tories cannot return to power.— The Crown does not wish them. The Com mons will not have them, and the people of England would never more submit to their misrule. We are satisfied that the first, and we hope the successful, endeavour of the KING will be to form a Ministry on the principles of Lord GREY, to give his people a guarantee that the same spirit presides in his councils—a spirit congenial with that of a reformed Par liament and an enlightened public. To enable the Crown so to act, it is not sufficient that it wills it. The friends of liberty and reform must give their aid. The various classes, sects, and parties who really dread the revival of Tory misrule, must lay aside " all partial affections," forget all minor differences, and shew a disposition to confide in those in whose general views they coincide. Let them applaud and hail any arrangement that bids fair to proceed in the undeviating line of improvement and reform. The quadruple treaty will be laid before Parliament this day—a monument of the wisdom of the retiring Ministry, and a legacy for which the liberties of man kind, as well as the honour of this country, is indebted to them. The Tories are just now in higher spirits than they have been for some months past. They imagine that they have got something more than a mere Mount- Pisgah view of the Promised band of office—that they are actually within a stone's-throw of the tempting region. Let them not be too sanguine. There is many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip. But granted that they could even take possession of the Treasury Bench to-morrow, how long would they be able to retain their seats there ? They would have the House of Lords well disposed towards them, it is true ; but how would they be able to manage the House of Commons—a House reformed in direct defiance of 1 their opposition—a House whose chief recommenda tion with the country is its avowed dislike to all Tory ascendancy ? Do they look to the Radicals for sup port ? The Radicals would desert them the very instant they were fixed in the saddle. 130 they imagine they could bring over the Dissenters ? The Dissenters would have nothing to say to a party which has ever been the bitterest opponent of their just rights. Do they think they could bring round the people to their views ? The people are pledged to Reform. How, then, would they pro pose to carry on the Government ? One only mode presents itself. The Tories must falsify all their prin ciples—they must forswear all their pledges—they must eat up all their words—they must apostatise to a man—and consent to carry on the Government on those principles of reform which they detest, and their hostility to which drove them from office. In a word, they must consent to liberalize themselves—that is, to wash the black-a-moor white. We must confess—notwithstanding the various rumours afloat—that we have little apprehensions on this score. The same obstacles that prevented the Duke of WELLINGTON from taking office, as an ad vocate of the Reform Bill, will now prevent the Tories from taking office as advocates of liberal measures. The country, from one end to the other, will cry shame on such political profligacy. It will feel its moral sense insulted—degenerated in the scale of nations-- and hurl the transgressors from the helm, amid a hur ricane of execrations. What claims have the Tories on national respect ? Did they carry the Reform Bill ? Did they emanci pate the slaves ? Did they propose to purify the Church ? Did they advocate the Corporation Inquiry? Above all, did they reduce the requisite amount of taxation ? No, so far from doing any thing of the sort—so far from consulting the interests of the people, or even meeting them half-way ; they arrayed them selves in haughty defiance against them : and if Ministers have not at all times gone the fitting length in Reform, it is less from their disinclination to do so, than from the frivolous, vexatious, and factious oppo• sition they have met with, at every step of their pro• gress, from the Tories. We throw out these remarks, not because we are friends of a party, but because we are friends of the people. In all our discussions we have reference only to the national interests. That party which will do most for the country, which will go the greatest length to serve it, is the one to which we attach our selves. We fight under the national banner. Look ing at the question in this light, we cannot possibly see how the interests of a mighty kingdom can be furthered by the sacrifice of all public honour. The Tories to do good, must rat in the most comprehensive and pro fligate sense of the term ; and doing so, they are not fit to be trusted with power for an instant. The people must be in a constant state of suspicion and disquietude respecting them. They must be perpetually on the watch—have an eye to all their movements. Is not this a lamentable spirit to exist between the governors and the governed ? And who is to be one of the main props of the Tories ? Mr. STANLEY ! The man who though at heart a high aristocrat and a high churchman, yet could endure to advocate a reform, little short of radical ; and who after keeping his Tory sensi bilities carefully bottled up for two years, could suddenly turn round on his Whig colleagues ; charge them with shop-lifting and petty-larceny ; and consum mate his apostacy by betraying the secrets of the Ca binet ! This, indeed, is an acquisition to Toryism. But if there be one spark of manly feeling left among us ; if national honour—national spirit—national intelligence be not altogether extinct—be not altoge ther a mockery and a bye-word, the country will enter tain a wholesome, vigorous distrust (we might add a stronger term), of the statesman who could apostatize in favour of such a party, and of the party which could sanction such apostacy with its approbation. We say nothing of the part that Mr. O'CONNELL has played in this intrigue. Where chicanery was to be resorted to, we always expected to see him foremost among the jugglers ; but let him not henceforth pre sume to talk of his conscience, or his attachment to the interests of his countrymen. He has leagued with the bitterest foes Ireland ever had, to turn out the best friends she ever had. Let him cease, then, to pester us about the purity of his motives. Such a phrase, coming from such a quarter, is enough to make one's gorge rise. A word more, and we have done. Let who will come into power, our part is taken. We are for mea sures, not for men ; though, judging from their past and present conduct, we fear that the Tories, like bungling tailors, will be found to have taken but an indifferent measure of the spirit of the age. The two extreme parties in the State have, by the most inconsistent conduct, the most unnatural alliance, and the most unrelenting hostility, succeeded in em barrassing the Government. How long they will act together any one can foresee. The Tories boast a great accession of strength by the acquisition of Mr. STANLEY, but they are woefully mistaken. The Stanleyites have all along been a drag on the Whig Government, and will perform the same service to any Government that canbe formed. Proud, unbending, dog matical, their leader can bear no brother near the throne -- a deserter from his party, he can inspire no confidence and still less esteem, into his new associates—a friend of the Church, who shows his friendship by advocating doctrines which will lead to her destruction—a radical and a bigot by turns—a professed friend of the Irish, yet detested by them, more than the most furious Orangeman—the Marplot of the Administration he deserted, the man w h o se arises ocr bigotted notions they willing t ltic pride. and soothe, in were order to prevent dissension, who stood in the .way of all their liberal measures towards the isb - entors, who i excited the people to call for Parliamentary Reform, and when obtained has the madness to refuse what an unreformed House could not refuse--all other reform ; who, on parting with his late colleagues, held out the hand of friendship, and promised them his support, only the more effectually to deceive ;--this is the man who has joined with the radicals and the repealers and the " remnant of a broken faction," to oust those who confided in his honesty, and who subjected themselves to the sus picions of the Dissenters and Ultra-Liberals, in order to soothe his aristocratic pride and humour his new fangled and bigotted caprices. We wish the motley party joy of their new ally, and look forward with some curiosity to the way in which they will quarrel, but without any doubt of the result. The Church ques- don alone will be sufficient to decide the respective strength of the parties, and the Liberal side will take the first opportunity of putting it to the test. No House of Commons can be returned that will support the principle, that Parliament cannot deal as it sees meet with the surplus property of the Church ; and still less with the principle that the over-grown, the sinecure, the anomalous Protestant Church of Ireland, is to be maintained in all its worldly splendour among seven millions of Catholics, to insult them with its wealth, and upbraid them with their long-suffering and forbear ance. This House, and a new House of Commons would decide by a vast majority, that no Clergy shall be paid but those that perform duty, and that the surplus shall be at the disposal of the State ; and the representatives of the people would betray their trust, if, loaded as we are with taxes, they voted one farthing of supplies till the principle was acted on. But the Catholic clergy would not be satisfied with this. However they may disclaim at present any wish to participate in Church property in those districts where no Protestants exist, the feelings of human nature—the example of Scotland, and the laws of justice and mercy, are too strong to be long resisted. Mr. O'CONNELL is not aiming at such a result ; but actually contending for it, and contending for it, too, on the soundest prin ciples of justice and good policy. We have never heard any serious objection to such a measure, because no man can deny that the religion of the people ought to be supported out of church property, and that those clergy only who perform the duties of religion, shall be paid ; and when the great leader of the Catholics has fairly involved the Whigs and the Tories, he will urge this as an irre sistible argument for the repeal of the Union and force the Legislature to the least objectionable alternative. Any one that has eyes to see cannot fail to perceive that this is his great aim--that the plunder of the Catholic-Irish Church (we use their own terms) forms the grand cause of the discontent of the Irish clergy, and that until their grievances arc redressed England and Ireland never will be at peace. This is only one specimen of the fruits of the heterogeneous alliance, but it will be sufficient to upset any Government that dares to resist it. On looking at the changes which have taken place within a few weeks, our only regret is, that they will lead to violent and dangereus animosi- ties—retard improvement, and hold out for a time en couragement to the Continental tyrants to brave England ; but our regret is much diminished by the firm conviction that no change adverse to freedom can take place which will not lead to the final overthrow of a party that has ever resisted all reform in every de partment of the Church and State. The people of England know well whether the Whigs or Tories are their best friends, and come a general election when it may, they will not be backward in recording their sentiments. The publication of correct lists of divisions in the House of Commons will do more towards effecting a thorough reform in that branch of the Legislature than the most sanguine supporters of such a course can anticipate ; and we are glad to add another to the many testimonies we have borne of the desire of the House itself to expose its con duct to the country. The vote of the Commons last night on this very important question, ought to satisfy every rational mind that the majority of the representatives of the people seek no concealment of their proceedings in Parliament. _ Sir ROBERT PEEL opposed the motion of the Hon. Member for St. Albans, who had moved the adoption of the report of a Select Committee, approving the publication of the votes. The Ex-Minister thought it exceedingly wrong that Members of that House should be prevented, by a fear of public clamour, from voting as they pleased. He would prefer leaving each Member to settle the fact of his voting one way or other with his own conscience ;. and when called upon by his constituents, to render to them, and them only, an account of the way in which he performed his legislative duties. Sir ROBERT, when he addressed the House in this fashion, seems to have forgotten that the days are gone by when the country will be deluded by a club-house and lobby-loitering attend ance in Parliament. We know very well how it was in times past. We know right well how these things were managed, in the " high and palmy" days of Sir ROBERT himself. Members then were too import tant personages to sit out a debate, unless at the particular request of a Minister, and often then only to blind their constituents by speaking one way and voting another ; knowing that the liberal speech could never be contrasted with the illiberal vote. We believe the first Member of the House of Commons, who succeeded in making out lists of divisions on im portant questions, was Mr. HuME. This, like the publication of the debates, is at present a breach of privilege ; but the House found that it would be dan gerous to assert a privilege which it could not maintain without coming in collision with the country. But why should the people be longer kept in ignorance of the way in which the power conferred by them, and for them, is exercised ? We do not choose to embroil ourselves in a dispute with Members of Parliament ; but we believe there is more than two or three who make a point of contradicting the published lists, as regards their votes, through the press, some days after their appearance, not because they were misrepresented, but because the acknow ledged incorrections that occasionally occur, furnish the means of getting rid of many prospective annoyances out of doors, and especially on the hustings. The abolition of the old system of private voting will put an end to the jobbing in the House of Commons. Formerly, Members of Parliament had no interest but their own to look to—no power but that approved of by themselves to fear—and, as a matter of course, only themselves to satisfy. The people were mere mere playthings, to be flung aside at plea sure. The House met when it pleased the Minister ; said whatever pleased the Sovereign, and did what ever pleased itself. Laws were made which were only heard of in their despotic operation ; taxes imposed first heralded by the collector ; and offices were created and filled, of which the first announce ment was the signature to some public document. Sir ROBERT PEEL has fears that the country would not be able to understand the tendency of the votes of Members of the House of Commons. It is un doubtedly desirable that a glossary of the language of Parliament should be published ; but we are greatly mistaken, if there be a man in the United Kingdom who would fail to understand that absence from divisions is no sign of close attendance ; that declining to vote is no proof of extraordinary zeal, or love of prin ciple ; and that the publication of forty names, for and against a measure, is not the way to satisfy the coun try that Parliament is watching over the interests of the people. Besides, the publication of the votes of any Member is not a matter which only concerns his individual constituents. His votes affected the interest of a whole nation ; he took his seat in Parliament as the Representative of the Commoners of the United Kingdom ; and to all ought lie to be made responsible for his public conduct. A respectable Morning Contemporary seems ap prehensive of Lord LANSDOWNE being proposed' as the head of a new Government. Such a thing is not at all probable ; Lord LANSDOWNE is an excellent man and a good speaker, but he is too modest and unassuming a person to think of filling such an arduous post in times like these. We answer our contemporary, that his apprehensions are perfectly groundless. It gives us much pleasure to announce that the Tory meeting in Berwickshire, at which the Earl of HOME presided, to address the Crown against the Commission for inquiring into the Revenues of the Irish Church, has been most signally defeated. Counter resolutions having been proposed expressive of entire confidence in Lord GREY, and carried by a large majority. Lord Provost SPITTAL, of Edin burgh, has performed good service on this occasion. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9. HO USE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at twenty minutes past 12 o'clock. Upon the motion of Mr. FIT Z SIMON, the Kingstown Im provement Bill was read a third time, and passed. Mr. F. POLL OCK presented a petition from the parish of Godmanchester, in Huntingdon, in support of the Church. Mr. W. DUGD ALE presented a petition from Birming ham, in favour of the alterations in the Beer Bill. Mr. B YNG presented a petition from Kensington, in sup port of the Church ; and a similar petition from the parish of St. James. Mr. PLUMPTRE presented a petition , from the Rector and inhabitants of Winchelsea, in Suffolk, in support of the Church ; and similar petitions from St. Dunstan's, near Can terbury, St. Mary, Lambeth, and from Nettleby ; also a peti tion from Brighton, upon the subject of the petition cf Capt. Achieson, and praying that he might be restored to his rank in the army ; and a petition from Fulney, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, to the same effect ; and a similar petition from Exeter. BANKRUPTCY (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. EWING presented two petitions in favour of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Bill, from the Chamber of Commerce in Glasgow, and from certain merchants of the same town. Colonel LEITH HkY presented a petition from the Provost and TOwn Council of the burgh of Banff, in favour of the same Bill. Sir W. RAE presented a petition from the Dean and Fa culty of Advocates of Scotland, praying that the Bill might be postponed till next session, in order that its provisions might be more fully discussed and understood. He thought that these petitions did not ask too much, considering that the Bill made so many and such important alterations in the laws of Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE said that no one could enter tain a higher respect for the opinion of the bar of Scotland than he did, but it unfortunately happened that those gentle men, whose opinion and aid would be of the greatest use in such a measure as the present, were, during the course of the session, unable to devote their time to the consideration of the matter; and then, when the period of vacation came, they said let it be postponed till next session. Now this was the time when those Learned Gentlemen were disengaged, and he hoped they would have their aid and assistance in pointing out the defects of the Bill, and amending it. This Bill had been, however, delayed too long ; the people of Scotland were daily sending petitions to demand it, and he hoped these peti tions would be attended to. Lord R. STEWART expressed a hope that the Bill would be pressed forward this session, as the people of Scotland were extremely anxious for it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that, in his opinion, the Bill was a most salutary one ; and he hoped also it would pass this session through that House. Mr. WALL ACE said that this Bill was a question between the people and the Advocates of Scotland. The people anxiously desired this Bill, while the Advocates, who were in terested in throwing it out, petitioned against it. He hoped the cause of the people would prevail. Sir G. MURRAY supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. EWING said this Bill had the entire approbation of the mercantile portion of the people of Scotland. After a few words from Colonel GORDON, the petition was referred to the Committee on the Bill. Colonel LEITH HAY presented a petition from Elgin, in favour of the Bill ; also a petition from Newlands, in Peebles shire, in support of the Established Church. Mr. WALL ACE presented a petition from Greenock, praying for the repeal of the Corn Laws, and a petition from the same place against the impressment of seamen ; a petition from the same place in favour of the Dorchester Unionists, another in favour of the alteration in the Game Laws, and a petition from certain electors of Kilmarnock, in favour of the Vote by Ballot. Sir E. KNATC HBULL presented a petition from Chat ham andvarious other places in the county of Kent, in support of the Established Church. Mr. H. PELHAM presented a petition from Overton and other places, in support of the Church ; and from a Dissenting congregation in Devonshire, in favour of the Admission of Dissenters Bill. Mr. MILDMAY presented petitions from Wisbeach and various other places, in support of the Church. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition from the Solicitors of Scotland against the AnnuityTax,also a petition from the shawl weavers of Edinburgh, praying for relief, and that the reciprocity ditties might be carried into full effect ; also a pe tion from the schoolmasters of St. Andrews, praying for an increase in their salaries ; and a petition from the same indi viduals in favour of the Church ; and a petition from his old constituents of Dudley—( A laugh)—with 5,000 signatures, against the Friendly Societies' Bill ; and a petition from the retail beer sellers of the same place, against the alterations in the Beer Bill. Sir W. RAE supported the petitions from the solicitors of Scotland, as also that relative to the protection of the Estab lished Church. After a few observations from Mr. Gillon, Mr. C. Bruce, and Colonel Gordon, the petitions were laid on the table. Mr. WILK S presented several petitions against the New Beer Bill, from New and Old Sleaford ; from Cambridge, and from other places in the county of Chester, and the neighbourhood of Manchester ; also a petition from New Broad-street Chapel, in the City of London, against the Church Rate Bill ; also a similar petition from Dr. Bennett, of Silver-street Chapel. Mr. HERBERT presented one hundred and fifteen peti tions from parishes in Wiltshire, praying that the House would adopt no measures for the separation of Church and State. It being three o'clock, the SPEAKER left the chair. The Prince and Princess Lieven are making their anal arrangements for quitting England. They embark on board a Government steamer for Hamburgh, on the 16th inst., after a residence here of twenty years. The recent accession to the Stamp duties arises not from any increase in the legitimate source of that branch of the revenue, but from the mileage duties paid by the nume rous stage-coaches and omnibuses, and from the revenues which were formerly under the charge of the Hackney-coach Office in Essex-street having been transferred to Somerset House. The society of pigeon -fanciers at Louvain sent last year to Paris 24 pigeons, 22 of which returned, and of that number Mx reached Louvain in less than four hours and a half. This society recently sent to London (an extremely difficult flight) 45 pigeons, which were let fly at 8 in the morning of the 26th ult. ; six returned to Louvain in the course of the same day. Upon this occasion, three gold me dals and five silver ones were distributed. The first medal was given to the owner of the pigeon which returned at 2 in the afternoon. The other returns were as follow :-1 minute after 2, 17 minutes after 4, 19 minutes after 4, 5.5 minutes after 4, and 5.--French Paper. EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) A special general Court of the Proprietors of India Stock was held this morning, for the purpose of having the case which was laid before Counsel, and his opinion thereupon, relative to the power of the Court to grant pensions above 600/. under the new Charter, laid before them. At twelve o'clock H. St. G. LUCIIER, Esq., took the Chair, when the case and opinion were read by the Secretary. The case, after citing all the Acts regulating the Company put the question, " Whether a grant, pension, or gratuity to the amount of 600/. or upwards, made by the Court of Directors, and approved of by the Board of Control, was valid, it not having been submitted to the consideration of the Court of Proprietors. Mr. Sergeant Spankie's opinion, which was dated 24th June, stated that, in his opinion it was so, under the 7th section of the new Act. The compensations now to be granted under it were on a very different footing to those previous to the passing of the Act. They were granted in the nature of compensations for just and moral considerations. He also further stated his opinion that the powers of the Court of Proprietors were not inter fered with, further than was compatible with the powers of the Court of Directors as the organ of the Company—they could still bring forward any question of the kind, and fully discuss it at a general meeting. Mr. WEEDON then rose and said it was with great regret that he had felt it his duty to bring forward the question of what privileges that Court enjoyed, at the very first meeting after the new Act came into operation. A great mistake had been committed, and as he was well aware the worthy Chair man hadnothing so deeply at heart as the welfare of the India Company, he trusted that he, along with his colleagues , would that day come forward and join those on the other side of the bar in order to have it rectified. The opinion of their worthy and Learned Counsel which had just been read, Was not at all satisfactory to him—neither did he think the age that had been laid before him was full enough. Their solicitor had made a very material omission, in not having stated in it that it was a fact that upon all former occa sions the Court of Directors had considered it their duty to submit any grant they intended to make to that court, even before they thought of sending it to the Board of Control. The opinion was clearly at variance with the case that had been laid before the counsel, as was plain to him, though he was not a learned man. It was also contrary to all former practice, and to the express words of the charter. It said that the Directors were to act according to the bye-laws. He would, however, cite some instances which would clearly prove the position he had taken up. In 1819, when the Com pany abolished the office of General-Assistant Warehouse. keeper, the Directors intended to make up his pension to 10001. F but before even taking any step in the matter, they came to that Court and submitted it in the shape of a motion. Again , before the addition was made to the salaries of the Judges in India, before it was even hinted to the Board of Control, a vote of that Court was taken upon the subject,- 40 fact, there was not an instance on the other hand to bring forward. And would the Learned Counsel, or any other gentleman behind the bar venture to say that these grants were not for just and and moral considerations, or what grant had the India Com pany made for other considerations. Let him, however L draer, ' their attention to a solemn resolution come to in that Court, on the 3d of May, 1833, after seven days debate, and decided by a ballot, when nine to one voted for it. It declared that the Company would give up their assets alone, upon the con• dition that they were to hare a sufficient power over the com mercial and other assets as to defray any and all charges for compensation to their commercial officers Could any 11 101 ' say that that condition had been complied with—or might he not say that having been broken, the company had a perfect right to re-open their trade with China. Their Bond Wee unsealed. (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are unusually short, and the return of Flour is also scanty.

CO' THE LATE LADY MACKENZIE OF GAIRLO- 00 —A gentleman who has recently been visiting the picture 10 shores of the North Highlands informs us, that he was lotii struck with the deep and universal feeling of melaotts which was spread over the country by the death of the 03 . Lady Mackenzie of Gairloch. This amiable and ace •p( plished English lady died on the 11th of May, after gov• or birth to a still-born son. In the midst of those remote litudes, where, though the scenery is wild, rugged , r i % precipitous, the climate is soft and mild, and among Ala) pie faithful. people, Lady Mackenzie was received A l great kindness, hospitality, and devotedness. Her 8 1 1 00 , ; in Gairloch formed an era in the annals of the PA' 0 and both Sir Francis and his lady looked fortyo; P much enjoyment from their residence this season, P O , part of the country they had laboured assiduously to inaPr n •j e A few months only have clawed, since a correspondent nounced in our columns the kind and charitable deeds of to Mackenzie during her residence at Gairloch, in terms o 'o however just, her unassuming and shrinking delicacy, id sented from. When we recall her enthusiastic exertio n ! it behalf of the Infant Schools, her youth, beauty, and p ie o l is impossible not to be impressed with the uncertainty o ff ,el or to refrain from dropping a tear of sympathy over the 050 of one whose loss is not only a bereavement to her relativetd to the country which she had adopted as her own. The follo4 of Lady Mackenzie called forth the warm and noble fOefot of the people. Though distant above seventy raiL r elle the family burial ground, the tenantry on the 45 :: 1f estate mustered, witbout one exception, to convey P' mains to Beauly Priory. They were met at Conan l e / 0 11 the neighbouring gentry, and the procession, as it Me/ At' in the gaze of thousands, formed a striking speetacle.,,;o ranged in companies, the tenantry formed with almost tol'lo° precision around the body, followed by a body of child in number, being scholars who had lost their generetl: g e fri: factress.
