'Tin paragraphs in the London papers are very erroneous in stating there was no doubt of success for the Liberals. This i 3 decidedly a Tory town ; the last single contest was upon fhe 'aces Lance of the Chiltern Hundreds by the celebrated John Wills, at which election the Tories elected a Scotch gentleman,, John R.

There are but 54l voter:, who might easily be polled in Six. hours ; but many of the independent gentlemen will see the result of the first day's poll before they record their votes, as they prefer a canvass in a close contest in the evening . after the poll is closed.

BRUSSEL, JULY 21.---Zrhe C3mmissioners appointed by the GovernMent to fix the basis of a treaty of commerce with the French Government, will set out in a short time for Paris. A letter from the camp at Dicst of the 19th says— " The Dutch came a few days ago and bivouacked on the extreme frontier ; they composed a strong brigade, with ca valry and artillery. " We were in sufficient numbers to meet them ; but if they •should think fit to repeat the same manoeuvre with a greater force, they could easily do so; and then it would be proper that our frontier should be better covered than it now is." BRUSSELS, JVLY 22,—Yesterday at noon Te Deem was performed in the church of St. Gudule, on occasion of the anniversary of the inauguration of his Majesty. The Senate, the Chamber of Representatives, the Magistrates, the Civil and Military Authorities of the province and the city were present. The Archbishop of Marines officiated. Since Sun day it is observed that a great number of strangers have re sorted to this city. Many of the hotels are already quite full, and in several others the apartments are all bespoke. We hear with pleasure, says 1' Emancipation, that M. Cam pion, the English Gentleman, who was dangerously wounded in a duel on Friday last, is much better, and that great hopes are entertained of his recovary. The great drought which we have had this summer has caused the water to fail in most of the houses in the higher parts of the city. M. de Bavay, substitute for the Attorney-General, who con ducts the prosecution at Mons, was in the city yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining whether there is any real obstacle to prevent the witnesses summoned on the list, and who have not obeyed the summons, from going to Mons to give evidence on oath of the fscts within their knowledge. This morning forty .one more witnesses were summoned ; among them are a Cap tain and a Lieutenant of the Corps of Guards. In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives yesterday the Corn Law was agreed to by a majority of 41 to 19. In the senate the law against the Orangists was passed by a majority of 33 to 3.

VIENNA, JULY B.—ln the absence of the Court of the greater part of the diplomatic body of our richest Nobility, the capital, which was lately so gay, is now suite dull, and even on 'Change little business is doing, most of the rich bankers havinc , gone to the country. However, it is observed that the Chancery, especially the department of German affairs, is very much en gagedr and that the President of the Diet, and the Prussian Minister, Count Alvinslebar, pass the greater part of the day there. Hence it is supposed that that Department is drawing up, in their official form, the resolutions of the late Congress previous to their promulgation, which, it is expected, will be in the beginning of August. NEUFCHATEL, JuLY 11.—On the 9th instant, the Council of State issued a declaration that as perfect tranquillity and order prevail in the Canton, and the energy and unanimity of the vast majority of the citizens are a pledge for the duration of the happy state of things, the Council of State in concert with his Excellency the Governor, is convinced that the moment is come to restore the arms sequestrated in 1831 ; it expects that all the citizens of Neufchatel will appreciate the confidence which the- Council manifests by this resolution. The persons concerned may expect further notice respect ing the execution of this resolution.—Franifort Papers, July 18. . CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE. 28.--(By Express.)—We live iu perpetual confusion, as it regards our political relation. First, the question relating to the politics of the Porte, and those of the Cabinets of St. Petcrsburgh, London and Paris, concerning the East, are of various kinds. To-day such a question appears to be the most important. To morrow, this seems to be arranged only to give place to another question in the background, still more difficult in the solution, so that our fears are constantly excited ; there are so many parties, so many interests, •ardy the distance of the above cities is so great, which adds to the uncertainty as it re gards our political relations, that but a gloomy prospect is before us. The preparations in the arsenal have been for some time very active ; and it is reported that the Russian fleet h - vale been descried in the neighbourhood of the Bosphorus. It is a!so' eonlidently said that the Frenchfleet will join the English one. It is impossible to believe that the Angle- French - fleet can have the intention of proceeding against the Dardanelles by a coup de main, in order to secure the capital and the Black Sea. But it is possible that the Porte, aided by Russia; May have the intention of attacking Mehemet Ali, ag . ::inst which the Anglo-French fleet seem to oppose an armed interirentien. This, however, is not to he relied on, but so much is certain, that what the English Ambassador gave out as to exercising manuvres in the neigh bourhood of the Dardanelles is mere pretext. The last let ters from Simos are more satisfactory for the Porte. When the negotiations were on the pant of being broken of a basis was at last agreed upon, which will be accepted by the 57.- rniots, and, at the same time, be in accordance with the in structions of the Porte. A &est part of the Saraiots have submitted, and no doubt exists but the remainder will follow the example. In Scio the plague has broken out : here it vaakes no progress.—Allyenizine'Zeitnag, July I 3. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —('rms DAY.)

From the statement made by the Right Honourable Gentleman when the subject came first under the notice of the House, as well as from the two letters furnished by Mr.. HARVEY, (no friend of the Government) it was evident that there was no foundation for the charge ; and such appeared to be the unanimous feeling of all who spoke on the subjectlast night. The Member who moved for the Com mittee admitted that he placed reliance on Mr. ELL ices word- 22 Mr. YOUNG, Colonel E vA Ns, Mr. BARING, indeed men - of all parties, considered him incapable of putting his hand into the public purse, and, in fact, pronounced him innocent ; yet ; with strange inconsis tency, these men voted for referring the question to a Committee of Privileges. If Grand Juries were to act on the same principle, their functions would soon be dispensed with. No man is committed by a Magistrate unless some suspicion is attached to him ; but what would be said if the Jury, one and all, believed the accused innocent, ytt sent him to be tried, 'to clear up his character ? Such a course is worse than absurd, it is unjust ; because by voting for inquiry, they attempted to cast a shade over the character of a man who, • by their own showing, ought to have been acquitted by accla mation. It is worthy of remark, that, with the excep tion of Mr.WYNN, no member of any former Govern ment, or any one that had been connected with former Governments, ventured a word on the subject. Even Sir HENRY HARDINGE, so ready to join in the battle when a charge is made against any active Reform Member, rested quietly on his arms. Sir ROBERT PEEL, we believe, left the House during the discussion ; Mr. GOULBUItN, Mr. HERRIES, and Sir G. MURRAY, were silent as death—not even any one imprudent hanger-on of a Tory Treasury was carried away by the spirit of opposition to make an attack, and de nounce the conduct of a reforming Secretary of the Treasury. This all arose, no doubt, from the best motives and the kindest feelings towards Mr. ELLICE, and not from any consciousness of guilt, or any dread that the charge might be retorted with ten fold force. Mr. N N was an exception—he heard the w;vd privilege scud in his ear—his natural instinct got the better of his prudence, and he would go to a Com mittee, though at the risk of disclosures which would affect every Administration with which he has been con nected. Those men that ride only one hobby arc dangerous colleague—thev are never to be depended on ; for the . ruling passion is so strong, that if they are not allowed to attack the enemy they will turn upon their own com rades. This discussion, .however, has not been with out beneficial results. It has left no doubt, that in former times the baneful practice of expending the money of the people for the purposes of bribery had been carried on to a great extent, and it will be a warning to • 1 a Reform Mimstry not to interfere with the freedom of election. The less- any member of a Government has to do with such transactions, the better will he sup port the character and the power of the Administration. It must be gratifying to every friend of humanity to know that it is the intention of the LORD CHAN CELLOR next Session to introduce - a general measure for the diminution of capital punishment, and esta blish a general and systematic change in the criminal jurisprudence of the country. The humanity shown by the present Government, and the well known opinions of Lord BROUGHAM respecting the absur dity, not to say cruelty, of some of the existing criminal laws, may be taken as cethlin pledges that capital punishment Will, excepting for a very few crimes,,be speedily abolished. Even Lord WYNFORD, who is no great advocate for chancre looks forward to the period when the punishment of death will rarely be resorted to. The feeling of the country on this sub ject is so strong, that it is utterly impossible to carry the law as it stands into effect. Juries in all cases, where the punishment greatly exceeds the offence, prefer violating their oaths, or, more properly speaking, prefer mercy to sacrifice, and acquit a prisoner, though no doubt of his guilt exists. There are some crimes, such as murder, the viola tion of females, and certain kinds of arson, which, by the general voice of mankind, can be expiated only by death ; but between these and many offences which are still capital, there is the widest difference, and so back Ward have the Government and the Legislature been in drawing the distinction, that individual Mem bers a- Parliament have been forced from motives of humanity-and-justice to bring forward separate mea sures, with6ut any regard for consistency, and have thereby rendered our criminal law the most anomalous code in any civilized country. We therefore hail with delight the plan of the LORD CHANCELLOR, to all these anomalies, together with the various bills on capital punishment, which within the last few years have been submitted to Parliament, to the considera tion of the Commissioners on Criminal law, with a view to form a systematic, consistent, and intelligible digest of criminal jurisprudence. His Lordship has already done much for the amelioration of the law, both civil and criminal, but a great deal still remains ; and if time and circumstances per mit, we confidently anticipate some general enact ment on this important subject, which will_Make his name be more remembered by posterity than any of the great measures which he has either advocated or carried since he entered on political life. - No mea sure—not even the great measure of Parliamentary Re form, has added more to the popularity of the Govern ment, than the general lenity which they have shown in the administration of the Criminal Law ; • they have tempered justice with mercy, and in all cases where the law was not imperative, have endeavoured to adjust the punishment to the nature of the offence. The di minution of capital punishments in the metropolis is the theme of universal approbation ; but it is mixed up with the painful reflection, that the barbarity of our laws should have been continued so long, and that so many lives should have been sacrificed on the unjust and unstatesmanlike plea which has ever actuated the Tories—the fear of change. The public mind is now awakened to the subject, and demands su c h an amend ment of the law as will enable the executive to. carry their humane views into effect. We trust that by next Session their hopes will be realised. In the House of Lords, last night, the Great Western Raihvay Bill was read a first time, -with out calling forth any remark ; though we understand that it is the intention of urtain individuals, connected with the London . and Southampton Railway, to en deavour to raise against it a factious interested opposi tion, in order either to have it thrown out, or put off till the next Session. We are astonished at this. are surprised that any man who supported a proposi tion for a railroad communication between London and Southampton, could have the hardihood to oppose a similar line of road between London and Bath, and .on to Bristol. There are some things which are so inconsistent with themselvs, Coat we cannot open our eyes to their inconsistency with out blushing for human nature. These persons have already gone the length of petitioning the House of Commous against this Bill. Now th a t th ere 3houldbc pe titions presented against any Bill before Parliament, however beneficial to the country, is by no means stir priAng ; as it is well 1 - sown that all abuses---all hive- grate attachments to explode :I systems—all oppositions to changes for the public good, are attempts to sacrifice the many at the shrine of the few : but that such peti tions should emanate from those who themselves adopt the measures recommended by any sucd► Bill, is astound ing indeed. Why the silversmiths of Ephesus defended the worship of Diana is sufficiently obvious, although in their hearts they might haVe laughed at the folly of her sincerest votaries ; but had St. Peter opposed a proposal for a' division of the See of Antioch, the world would he justified in judging that even an apostle could sacrifice the spiritual comforts of his flock to the policy of preserving a fat bishopric. But mon who, under the name of patriotism, could sacrifice to their individual interests the prosperity of their country—who could coop up in the ignorance of a past age, all those from whose pockets they could not extract the gains of improvement—deserve to have their grasping avarice, their empty pretensions, and their profligacy of principle, exposed in the view of the whole kingdom. They now discover that the Great Western Railway will be a nuisance ; that the direct way to Bath and Bristol from London, will be - by passing through Southampton ; and though they do not insist that a semi-circular direction is a straight one, the difference is so that they cannot understand why vested rights should be endangered, merely because the 'public would derive some temporary advantages from it. But why was not the uselessness of this Bill found out sooner? Why, during the fifty-six days it was be- . fore a Committee of the House of Commons, was it riot discoVered that the Bill was uncalled for ? Why was it that the parties interested in the Southampton I Railway held their peace on a subject so important, while their own favourite measure was in the hands of the Legislature ? They may not like to answer these quetions, bat the country can understand such con duct, and can appreciate the honesty of men who have the meanness to resort to it. They were silent du ring- the •long time this Bill was pending in the Commons, because they were then afraid that by raising the vizard ever so little they might betray the craven visage beneath it; and that standing-before the, world as jobbers, instead of as patriots, anxious to pro• . mote the best interests of the community, they would neither procure attention, nor command respect. - But now " All's well" with them. Their Bill is passed. They have, now, in the cant of the times, " Vested rights," and so they coins forward to pray the Legis lature to foster, in the spirit of paternal love, its -un .fledged offspring. It would have required very little more effrontery to demand, compensation, not for pre sent, but prospective losses; and we think the interested petitioners against the Great Western Railway Bill, to be consistent with themselves, ought to carry out the principle, by calling upon Parliament, in the event of passing the Bill now before it, to take their claims to compensation into its earliest consideration. The par ties who oppose the Bill may rely upon it that such a course would be as well advised, as respectable, and as likely to succeed, as that which they are now pursuing. They may imagine that because they were successful for good, they can be equally successful for evil ; but • " Sometimes we are devils to ourselves, When we will tempt the frailty of our powers, Presuming on their changeful potency !" What adds most to the indignation with which the enlightened and patriotic portion of the people regard the attempts which are now being made to oppose this bill, is the fact, that the Bristol and London Rail road Association, was the first ,by a year, to subm't a scheme of the kind to the consideration of Parlia ment ; and that it was by accident, rather than design, that the Southampton Bill took precedence of that which is now before it. As friends to every measure for the improvement of the country, we did all that in us lay, to accelerate such an event ; little expecting that those whom we were cheering onward were not as disinterested as ourselves. We are sorry to find that we were grievously mistaken. But the country will not suffer itself to be cheated out of a source of great commercial and agricultural improvement, - by the machina tions of a few interested individuals. The effect of a direct railroad communication between Lon don, Bath, and Bristol, will be the immediate im provement of the whole of the West of England, bordering on Hertfordshire, Shropshire, Che shire, and Lancashire, through which the road will be carried. Now, one of the immediate consequences of this will be, that agriculturists, in the heart of the kingdom, who had formerly no means of disposing of their grain, will have the metropolis itself open as a market to them, at an expense much less than it now costs them to have it conveyed thirty miles distant by either a land or water-carriage. Again, it will enable the agriculturist, by the opening of a market for the produce of his labour, as well as by enabling him to procure manure at a rate infinitely cheaper than at present, to till the most sterile soils ; the fear of throw ing which out of cultivation is one of the greatest ar guments for continuing the present Corn Law mono poly. And this, independently of the time saved to the merchant, manufacturer, traveller, and man of bu siness ; which of itself is sufficient to induce the country to support the passing of such a measure. Were there no other reason for our supporting this Bill, than that by its extending a line of railroad to Bristol, it will 'facilitate the means of communicating with Ireland, and opening a market for her produce, it should have our warmest advocacy. The wretched condition of that country is such, that it almost amounts to justification of the discontents which prevail among the mass of the population ; and it is our duty to for ward every measure which will have a tendency to give a stimulus to her industry. Let railroads only once be adopted in that part of the Kingdom, and let every facility be given to industry, and we shall hear no more of a Repeal of the Union. We trust the Members of the Upper House, who have been, or may be, appealed to, with regard to this Bill, will look well to the motives of the parties from whom they receive such communications. A morning con temporary (the, Chronic/e), in a short paragraph yesterday, intimated that those who were favouraEe to the passing of the Western Railway Bill, were actuated by sinister motives. We would recommend our contemporary to be more careful in making insinua tions ef this kind ; especially as it has gone abroad that, of late, our once able and respected contemporary can " Change shapes with Protons for advantages." At all events we know enough of the Chronicle's disinterestedness in this affair ; and therefore we think it's safest course would be to leave the Bill to its fate, since it cannot safely support it. We have not space to• day for any observations on the .notice of a resolution by Mr. CUTIIBERT Rir- PON, be to brought forward in the next Session of Parlia ment, declaring Deans and Chapters not having the care of souls to be useless ; nor of another notice by the same Honourable Gentleman for leave to bring in a Bill to relieve the Bishops from their attendance in the House . of Lords; but to-morrow we shall give an outline of the subject : " Resolution, That Deans and Chapters not having cures of souls are useless ; that it is proper to apply their possessions in payment of Church Rates, and for other purposes, retard be ing had to the interests of present holders, and provision being made for the performance of divine worship in the respective cathedrals." " Bill to take away from the Archbishops and Bishops of the Established Church their legislative and judicial functions in the Upper House of Parliament, with a view to increase their usefulness by constant residence in their respective dioceses." The Paris Journals of Tuesday mention that a telegraphic dispatch of the 20th had announced that the attempt of DON CA RLOS to gain over the army not having succeeded, he was endeavouring to get to Alava, but that General Rom', had hastened forward to Salva Tierra in order to prevent him. No battle h a d as yet taken place between the adverse parties. Rolm , was gaining so rapidly on the PRETENDER, that this last was caref u l t o k eep near tie coast , so that he might be prepared on an emergency to hoist sail for England again. The Memorial Bordelais o f the 19th inst., states that DON CA RLos would most likely make a dash into the interior, where the cu rate NERINO was expected to make his appearance. The French Government had at length ordered measures for preventing the conveyance of supplies to the in surgents from France. It was understood to be the determination of Count TORENO to move in the Cortes a composition with the creditors of Spain. This report had occasioned some uneasiness on the B our se during a great portion of Tuesday last. Pre parations were in active progress at Paris for the cele bration 6f the " Thre3 Glorious Days of July." FRENCH CUNT)3.--I'eht.;, JULY 24. per Cent..., 105 f. 8;c. ;Lc. Four per Cents., 92/.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, THURSDAY, JULY 24. FIO USE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 20 minutes past twelve. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' BILL. The order of the day for the further consideration of the re port upon this Bill having been read, On the motion of Mr. ORD, the House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, Mr. PIIILPOTTS in the Chair. Mr. BERNAL suggested an" amendment to the repealing clause, for the purpose of more clearly defining the right of the ;Society to invest their money in any way they thought proper, without being compelled to invest it exclusively in the Funds or the Savings Banks. It might be urged that this provision would endanger the property of the Societies by exposing it to the designs of low attorneys; but he, (Mr. B.) thought that the Friendly Societies were well able to take care of their own interests. The Hon. Member con cluded by moving his amendment. Mr. ORD said he should feel it his duty to oppose the the amendment. He feared that instead of conferring a bene fit upon those societies, it would be the means of involving them in bankruptcy and ruin. There were about 5,000 benefit societies in England, which had invested nearly one million sterling in the Savings Banks, and he (Mr. Ord) would pause before he should attempt to grapple with so formidable an invest ment. He trusted his Hon. Friend the Member for Rochester would not press his amendment. Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY thought that it was a principle laid down, that when the • Legislature extended its protection to any societies, they should invest their surplus capital in the recognized Funds of the Government. It never was intended that these societies should become trading and speculating companies, and therefore they should take care to prevent their having an opportunity of doing so. On these grounds he should give his decided opposition to the amendment. Mr. BERNAL explained. Mr. FOSTER gave notice, that early next Session, he would move for the appointment of a Select Committee upon this subject. He hoped, therefore, the Hon. Member for Ro chester (Mr. Bernal) would withdraw his amendment, and allow the Bill to proceed as far as it cDuld this Session. Mr. H. HUG HE S opposed the amendment. If this amend ment were carried, it might happen that three-fourths of the members of a Friendly Society might be influenced by the publican at whose house they met, or the attorney of the town, to invest the money of the society in an improper security, and thus sacrifice the property of the remaining fourth. He hoped the amendment would be withdrawn, as it was evident, if pressed to a division, it must be lost. After a few words from Mr. Wilks, Mr. T. Attwood; Cap tain Gordon, Mr. W. Thynne, and Sir E. Codrington, Mr. BE RNAL consented to withdraw his amendment. Mr. PARROTT proposed a clause to the effect of ex empting the members of Friendly Societies upon receiving relief, and making oath before a magistrate for that purpose, from being compelled to pay a bill of a shilling to the magis trate's clerk. _ Mr. ORD expressed regret at being compelled to oppose this amendment, the effect of which would be to legalise an oath which was now voluntary. __ After a few words from Mr. H. Hughes, Mr. Wilks, and Mr. Hall, Mr. PARROTT consented that the clause should confine the exemption of fees to those cases where oaths could be legally required. 41. After a desultory conversation, in which several Members took part, the proposed clause as amended, was agreed to. The report was then brought up, and the amendments read a second time and agreed to. The Bill was then ordered to be engrossed. HOUSE OF COMMONS OFFICERS' BILL. On the motion of Mr. GUEST, the order of the day was then read for a Committee on the House of Commons Officers' Bill. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES said that the object of the Bill was not intended to affect the present, but the future officers of the House. The Bill spoke of sinecure offices ; surely the public would not consider the Speaker's office to be cne of that description. Not two years ago a Bill was passed to support the dignity of the House, and to fix the -Speaker's sa lary at 6,0001. This Bill proposed to cut down that salary to 5,0001., and he should wish to know for what reason. He had seen the Speaker detained in the chair until three o'clock in the morning during the last week, and his salary was certainly not too much. It was also proposed to remove one of the assistant-clerks, while it Vq.as evident the business was almost more than could be got through with the present force. Feeling that no adequate remuneration could be given to the Speaker for his services, and that the Bill was altogether unnecessary, he protested against the Speaker leaving the Chair. Mr. GUEST said that there had ben reductions in the salaries of other Officers of the State, many of whom were engaged the entire year, and received only 5,0001. He pro posed to reduce the head clerk's salary 50/. It was not intended, however, to apply the bill to the present officers. Mr. C. WYNN thought it quite unnecessary to go into Committee. The sum of 6,0001. was allowed to the Speaker, to enable him to maintain a dignity equal to his office, but large as that sum appeared, it was unequal to its purpose. As to the clerks, their duty was not confined to the mere sitting in the House, but they had much to do when the House was not sitting.—( Hear.) r He could not agree with.the motion for going into Committee. Mr. F. O'CONNOR always wished to see salaries regu lated by services, and would therefore suggest that the Rouse should adjourn. Mr. RIDLEY COLBOURN would not support such a Bill. Colonel DAVIS suggested that the Hon. Member should pledge himself to confine the Bill to useless offices only. - Mr. STEWART trusted that his Hon. Friend would not in the then state of the House press the Bill further. He thought that the system of perquisites should be altogether abolished, and a liberal salary granted to all officers. He did not think that the Speaker should have a less salary than at present.___ - - . . - - - Mr. GILLON supported the Bill, and hoped it would be pressed. Mr. GUEST had not heard any arguments against going into Committee on the Bill. He was in the hands of the House. After a few words from Mr. `'ILK S, in support of the bill, The Gallery was cleared for a division, when there not being Forty Members present, the House stood adjourned. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The first bulletin of Don Carlos is in town, dated head quarters, Elisondo, the 12th inst.. It chiefly relates to his re ception, and the congratulations he received from the Junta of Navarre. The express from Paris is only interesting in respect to the affairs of Spain, which attract the general attention of the public in Paris. A rumour was prevalent at Paris that Don Carlos was sur rounded, but this, as yet, requires confirmation. Don Carlos has failed in gaining over Rodil's army.

In a Series of Letters written during a Residence in those Countries. By the Author of " Vathek." NOW FIRST PUBLISHED. " This work is from the pen of Mr. Beckbrd, the Author of the celebrated story, Vatlick, and the recent pcssessor of the magni cent Abbey at Fonthill. It will be found unlike any book of travels in prose that exists in any European language. Some im mortal passages in Gray's Letters,' and Byron's 'Diaries,' are the only things in our tongue that come near. the profound melancholy, blended with the picturesque of description, at once true and startling, of these extraordinary pages. We risk nothing in pre dicting that this work will henceforth be classed among the most elegant productions of modern literature."--Quartcily Review, .luue, 1334.
