The report on the Bank Charter Bill was received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The report on the Factoties Regulation Bill was brought up, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Civil List Charges Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday. _ . The Chancery Offices Bill went through a Committee, was reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Mr. SPRING RICE and others brought up the Consoli dated Fund (Appropriation) Bill, the East India Company Charter Bill, without amendment ; the China Trade Bill, without amendment; and the Tithes (Stay of Suits) Bill. The House then adjourned till half past two on Monday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPIAKER took the chair at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock. Mr. GREY, from the Bank of England, presented an account of the amount of bank notes in circulation. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill was read a third time, and passed. TITHES STAY OF SUITS BILL. Mr. BLAMIRE moved the third reading of this Bill. ' Sir R. INGLIS objected to the Bill, designating it as a gross infraction on the rights of property, and moved that it be read a third time that day six months. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL in supporting the Bill said, that from information he had received from the Hon. Member for East Cumberland, there had been no less than 9,000 suits instituted for the recovery of tithes in cases where moduses existed for the last sixty years, ana others where tithes had not been paid for centuries. The Hon. and Learned Member designated those as the worst members of the Church who would not allow its abuses to be corrected. Mr. TOOKE could not consent to the Bill passing in its present crude state. Mr. SINCLAIR thought the Bill a benefit, and should therefore, vote for its third reading. Mr. LYNCH suggested the propriety of postponing the Bill to the next session. Mr. AGLIONBY supported the Bill. After some observations from Mr. COBIETT and Sir R. INGLIs, in which the Hon. Baronet stated it was not his intention to divide the House, the amendment was nega tived without a division, and the Bill was read third time and passed. A message from the Lords announced that their Lord ships had agreed to the Notaries Pub ic Bill, the Slavery Abolition Bill, the Trial of Offences (Ireland) Bill, the Metropolitan Police Bill, and the Turnpike Roads Accounts Bill. Their Lordships also requested that that House would communicate to them a copy of the Report of the Select Committee on the law relating to the Sale of Beer. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the request of their Lorthhips was acceded to, and the messengers were again called in, and informed thereof. INFIRMARIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of Mr. LYNCH this Bill was read a third time and passed. EAST INDIA COMPANY'S CHARTER BILL. Lord ALTHORP moved that the Lords' amendments to the East India Company's Charter Bill be agreed to. After a few words from Mr. C. FEitousoN and Mr. SINCLAIR, the motion was agreed to. CHINA TRADE BILL. Lord ALTHORP moved that the amendments to this Bill be agreed to. Sir R. INGLIS thought the country was deeply in • debted to . the House of Lords for those amendments. Mr. G. F. YOUNG contended that the Lords amend ment relating to the tonnage duty was an improper one, and moved as an amendment that it be reduced from ss. to 2g. 6d. per ton, the former sum operating as a very heavy tax on the shipping interest. Lord A LTHORP said the expense of a consular establish ment would be very great, and the Lords' amendment was but experimental. If experience proved that less money would be necessary, Government would consider whether it might not be desirable to diminish the ton nage duty. After some conversation, in which Mr. Methuen, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Macauley, and other Members took part, Mr. YOUNG consented to withdraw his amendment. The Lords' amendments were then agreed to. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord ALTHORP said that as he did not think the House of Lords would be able to get its arrear of business under before Wednesday, he begged to move that the House at its rising do adjourn to Wednesday next. Agreed to. - FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Colonel EVANS stated that• although he had _great confidence in the spirit which actuated his Majesty's Councils with respect to foreign affairs, yet as they were about to separate for some months, during which it would be impossible for them to have any official information with respect to them, he had deemed it his duty to give notice of his intention to advert to them. He congratulated the country on the termination or near termination of the di flicult negotiations entered into, with a view to establish Belgium as an independent State. He was the more happy. at the prospect of the termination of these negotiations. as it would enable his Majesty's Government to pursue a more vigorous course of policy in other quarters. He should hope that, by next Session, something satisfactory would be done on behalf of Poland ; but it was in Por tugal and the East of Europe more particularly that Ministers ought now to bestow their attention. The capital of Portugal, as well as its second city, was now i❑ possession of the Queen de jure.—(Hear.) In deed she might be said to be almost Queen of the country de facto, and as her fleet had annihilated that of the usurper, and now rode triumphant all along the coast, he was in hopes that ere this his Majesty's Government would have publicly acknowledged Donna _Maria. As early an acknowledgment of the young Queen as possible would be advantageous both to our political and commer cial interests, but as he had great confidence in his Ma. jesty's Government in this matter, and as negotiations might be pending which would make any declaration of opinion by the Noble Lord opposite (Palmerston) impru dent at the present moment, he would only express his regret that that public acknowledgment bad not yet been made. But as it was understood that France and England had not, more directly than they had, interfered on behalf of Queen Donna Maria, on account of the in. fluence of Russia, he must say that France and Eng land not having prevented the dii ect interference of Russia in the affairs of Turkey, were now entitled to say that Russia should not prevent them from interfering in the affairs of Portugal. The two cases were precisely in point. Being the most important maritime nation in the world, it could not be unimportant to us that Russia should establish or extend its territorial power on the shores of the Bosphorus. The policy of her aggression had made great advances within a recent period; and as the country knew nothing of the matter officially, he was anxious to know, first, whether a body of troops, lately sent down by that power to Constantinople, was sent there with the con• currence of the Courts of France and England ; or, if not with their concurrence, whether they were sent in opposition to the protestations of the Ministers of those Courts at Constantinople? and secondly, whether it was true that a treaty offensive aed defensive between Russia and Turkey bad been entered into without the me diation of any Ministers whatever, and without even the knowledge of the representatives of France and England at that Court? It was of the highest import ance, he need not say, that precautionary measures of a very decided character should be taken to prevent the recurrence of such aggressive steps on the part of Rus sia ; for no one who had looked attentively to that power, could fail to be impressed with the necessity of checking boldly, and at once, its aggressive policy. He would only throw out the hint ; he thought it might be accomplished by a corresponding treaty between England and France, to counterbalance that between Turkey and Russia. He lamented that Russia had at all interfered with the affairs of Turkey; it would have been much better that the Pacha of Egypt should not have been interfered with by any of the European States. Mr. C. FERGUSSON congratulated the House on the declaration which the Noble Lord opposite had made with respect to Poland, it had given satisfaction throughout all Europe, and he hoped the time was not distant when its independence would be recognized.—(Bear.) The point with respect to Turkey was of the last im portance, but, at the same time, he would contend that it was of the utmost importance to 'his country, in conjunc tion with our ally, France, that she should take the means of rescuing the East of Europe, and, indeed, be would say the whole of Europe, from the attempted dominion of Russia, which would pervade the whole of Europe very shortly if it was not in sufficient time restrained. — (Hear, hear.) He thought if there was a treaty offensive or defeilaive between Turkey and Russia, the Government of this country and France ought to interfere, and that un less they did interfere ) and act together in concert, be be lieved that the liberty and independence of Mime would be extinguished. Sir ROBERT INGLIS said he did not rise to follow the two Hon. Gentlemen who had just sat down through the general observations which they bad made, but he understood and he knew it only from an extremely intelligent letter which appeared in a Morning paper two or three days ago, that the treaty to which the Honourable and Gallant Colonel had alluded expressly prohibited Turkey from entering into any other Treaty whatever, other than the Treaties actu ally existing with any other Power. Now he trusted the Noble Lord opposite would not allow that House to receive its information from an ordinary newspaper, either of Brussels or England, of the day, but would give to the House every legitimate information that was in his power. He was willing to admit it was irregular on their part to apply for this information; there being no specific motion before the House upon it, but he trusted if the Noble Lord could not now question the information they required, he would be prepared, if not before the adjournment, at all events before the prorogation of Parliament to lay before the House not merely the treaties that had been made, but all communications con nected with the formation of those treaties between Turkey and Russia. The interests of all Europe were bound up with the independence of Turkey. He trusted the Noble Lord would have no objection to state if it was in his power, consistently with his public duty, whether or so the reports which had been circulated, and which were so injurious to the cause of England were, or were not true. Lord PALNIERSTON said it was always a pleasure to him to give that House any information in his power, but he was more compelled to do so on the present occasion, from the temperate manner in which the questions were put by the Gallant Colonel. He felt it was his duty to correct one mistake into which the Gallant Colonel had fallen. He had stated that the Governments of England and France had been prevented from interfering in the affairs of Portugal more than they had done, through the fears of Russia. In that he was entirely mistaken. Of course, he spoke merely far the English Government; but they bad in no degree whatever been influenced in their conduct either by motives of fear or favour—so far as regarded Russia, or any other Power.—(Hear, bear.) They had pursued that line of conduct which they thought would be most conducive to the interests of this country. So far as be was acquainted with the motives which had actuated France, he believed they had acted in an equally independent manner.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the East, it was perfectly true that the Government had received information that a treaty had been entered into between the Porte and Russia, but that treaty had not yet been officially communicated to them. Therefore it was impossible for him to give any information as to its contents, except from rumour. He did not think, how ever, that it was a fair charge to be brought against Go vernment, that the Members of that Hcuse were enabled to see the particulars of what was going on in Foreign Courts, before it was in his power to give any official information on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) That was a matter for which the proprietors of the public journals deserved praise for :theirspirit and intelligence. but surely it was no charge against the Government. The Gallant Colonel bad asked whether the entrance of the Russian troops had been with the consent, or in spite of the pro testations of France and England. In answer to that, he had to state that Government did not think it necessary to protest against that measure, because from the official communications made to them, they placed perfect confidence in the assurances of the Russian Government that the troops should return, as soon as they had accom plished the purpose for which they were sent, which confidence had been justified by the result. He was net in a condition to lay on the table any papers connected with the subject, and could only further say, that when Government were in possession of the treaty, they would do that which they considered to be for the benefit and honour of the country. . _ Colonel EVANS expressed his satisfaction at the state ments of the Noble Lord, and hoped when Parliament met again, that an opportunity would be given of putting further questions on the subject, and that more definitive opinions would be given by Government. Lord PALMERSTON begged it to he understood that he had not expressed any opinion as to the treaty that had been referred to, or to the general policy pursued by Russia. Government had placed confidence in the assu rances gir,n on the part of Russia, relative to their troops sent into Constantinople, and those assurances had been emptied with to the letter. Air. C. FERGUSSON wished to know whether pre vious to the Porte calling for assistance from Russia a similar request had not been sent to this country. Lord PA LMERSTON said that it was true that in the course of the last autumn application had been made by the Porte to this country for naval assistance, and that it was then thought by his Majesty's Government not neces sary to comply with that request. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord ALTHORP said, that since he had moved that the House at its rising should adjourn till Wednesday, it had been suggested to him that it should sit on that day at 12 o'clock. He had no objection to concede that, and be should therefore move that the House at its rising should adjourn till Wednesday, at 12 o'clock. Mr. LAMONT gave notice that, early next session, he should move fur copies of the minutes of the Courts' Martial held upon Lieutenants Lamont and Parke, la'e of the Royal Marines, at Portsmouth, in February last. Mr. F. BUXTON moved for certain papers and cor respondence relative to any expeditions that had been sent against the native tribes of Cape Coast. He hoped Go vernment would take that subject into their serious con. sideration during the recess, but if they did not, he should feel it his duty next session to bring it before the House. Mr. BLAMIRE presented a petition from the parish of Crosby, in the county of Cumberland, in favour of the Tithe Suite Suspension Bill. Mr. COBUETT presented a similar petition from Leith. THE INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE. Mr. MURRAY wished to ask the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether the correspondence which had lately been published with regard to the affairs of Portugal, and said to be intercepted, was genuine or not ; as far as he knew, it was of a moot extraordinary description, and it was disgraceful to find names mentioned in it as agents of one of the most profligate Govern. ments that ever disgraced any country. If it were true it was very injurious to the English character, but he hoped the Noble Lord would he able to contradict it. Lord PALAIERSION said he was totally unable to give the hon. member any information upon the subject, and he wonld rather suggest that the foreign minister of Don Pedro would be better able to answer the question.— (Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. MURRAY gave notice, that early next Session he would move foe leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Foreign Enlistment Act. Lord PALNIERSTON laid on the Table sonic papers relative to the sovereignty of Greece. Mr. LYNCH presented a petition from Galway, pray ing that roads might be made in Ireland. Mr. PRICE said that the only vote for a purpose of this kind this session, had been of 5,0001. for this very district ; but the public could not be expected to keep up all roads. Every facility, however, was given to local enterprise. Mr. D. BROWNE having made some observations to the petition, it was laid on the table. Mr. LYNCH presented a petition from Mr. C. W. Williams, praying that a certain bridge in Ireland might be repaired. Mr. COBBETT deprecated the farmers of England being made to pay for roads and bridges in Ireland. Mr. PRICE said that he did not defend grants of this kind without great consideration ; but England benefitted by the increased consumption of her manufactures, in districts where roads had been made. Mr. YOUNG moved fora return of the expenditure and receipts of the Mirgate Pier Company for the year ending the 25th of April, 1833.—Ordered. ST. MARTIN'S. Colonel EVANS moved for returns relating to the ex penditure of the overseers of the parish of St. Martin, whether any money had been hid out in dinners. &c. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL said that the Govern ment could not call upon the parties to criminate them• selves. Colonel EVANS said that the overseers bad admitted, in their evidenee before the House, the expenditure of money in the manner stated. Return ordered. MR. LAWLESS. Colonel EVANS presented a petition from J. Lawless, Esq., praying for the immediate repeal of the Coercion Bill, as it had already produced tranquillity i❑ Ireland. Sir ROBERT INGLIS presented a petition from cer tain parish clerks, praying for relief, their salaries not having been paid in consequence of the successful resist ance to church cess. TITHE SUITS. Sir R. INGLIS moved for a return of the number of suits for the recovery of tithes, instituted tinder Lord Tenter(len's Act. The House then adjourned till Wednesday. The spi r it o f opposition is now so great amongst the omnibus proprietors that passengers are con veyed the whole distance from Paddington to the Bank for twopence, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A Jamaica mail has arrived by the Swallow, which sailed on the 9th July. We do not hear of any news of consequence. Accounts have been received from Chili of the ‘.2(1 inst., at which time all was tranquil there. Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres received at the North and South American Coffee.house, of May 30 : "We arewithout any particular news in this part of the world. " Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Republic continue to enjoy domestic peace, but have taken the opportunity to make war against the Indians. " The affairs of the Falkland Islands are still dwelt upon here with great bitterness, and the conduct of the British Go vernment, in ordering to take:possession of them, is condemned by the natives. " Trade is not brisk ; the price of specie keeps up, and the Exchange upon England falling. Doubloons are 125 paper dollars. " In Monte Video all is quiet." The Montreal Papers state that private letters, received at St. John's, Newfoundland, state that his Majesty's Govern. meat has pronounced the opinion of Chief Justice Tucker, on the revenue question, to be wholly erroneous, and his resigna tion was accepted. Accounts from Toulon state that a report prevailed there that 4,500 men were going to be embarked for the Tagus. (From the Jamaica papers to the 9th July.) It is not yet known when the Earl of Mulgrave intends to call the Assembly together, but it is supposed not until he hears the result of the debate on Mr. Stanley's motion. We look with the utmost anxiety for the arrival of the first June Packet. We are sorry to learn that the Governor's procla mation, so - far from settling the minds of the slave population, had a very opposite tendency. THE FUNDS. Up to the present hour we have no fresh arrivals front Por tugal ; and all remains uncertain in respect to Bourmont's advance and operations against Lisbon. The accounts are so contradictory at present that we must wait a further arrival from that quarter to ascertain the true state of affairs, which is expected by Monday next. Consols continue in an unsteady state : they opened at the prices they left off yesterday, SB4 for Account ; at present they are SSI, with little doing. In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Scrip 201 premium ; Portuguese Stock is also lower. The above market is rather heavy at present. . . HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we have no fresh arrivals from Portugal. The private tatters from Jamaica state that great anxiety prevails thee, owing to the negroes not accepting of any other conditicos than those of unconditional emancipation. The • Funds continue heavy, and have been during the most part of the morning at 88% N, with little or nothing doing. It is reported that troops nre embarking at Cork for the Tagus. In the Foreign Market the Funds are also very heavy. Portuguese Scrip 20a prem. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 88 % i. CAUTION.-JOSEPH ADY, THE LONDON IMPOSTOR. —A gentleman living near this town, has this week bee❑ favoured with the following epistle from this fellow : " The undersigned is able to inform you of something to your advantage, on receipt of 10s. for his trouble. " Respectfully, " JOSEPH ADY, " July 26th, 1833. " 11, Circus, Minorics, London. " No letters received unless post paid, " viz. 501. Os. Od." It is, perhaps, needless to add that Mr. ADY is in posses sion of no secret, either beneficial or prejndicial to the gentleman he has thus favoured ; nor has the gentleman the slightest knowledge of his friendly correspondence, except through the public prints, when they have exposed similar attempts at fraud. It is quite impossible that any but the unwary can be duped by Mr. Any ; and it is to guard those, that we are requested to give publicity to this statement.--Stockport Advertiser. It is now fully understood that the sittings of the Members of the Conference have been adjourned sine die; and it is asserted, in well-informed political circles, that there is as little prospect of a final adjustment of the Dutch and Belgic question as ever. It is said. that Count DONILOFF, late Secre tary of Legation to the Prussian Embassy, will be ap pointed Charge d'Affaires, during the contemplated ab sence of his Excellency Baron Butow. A chang e of quarters in the entire constabu lary force of Ireland will shortly be made. The northern police will, it is expected, exchange with those in the eolith and south-weet,..Dublin Pcohtt. DUTCH PAPERS, " AMSTERDAM, Aug. 19.—A mercantile house in this city has received the following letter from the Hague : " We are now acquainted with the contents of the last note of Lord Palmerston. It seems that he reproaches our Government with the slow progress of the negotia tion, and threatens it, for every point that is in dispute that is not yielded, with a suspension of the conference for hundred d iys. However, neither our Government nor the Foreign Legations know anything of such a resolution of the Conference. It seems to have been subsequently discovered that Lord Palmerston had taken this step of his own head, and without the knowledge of the Conference, in order to draw our Government into a snare, which, however, it has known how to avoid for the interest of the country. This is a fresh proof of the bad faith of the English atatesman. " ZEALAND, Auo. 17.—We expect that after the grand reviews of His Majesty, the garrisons of the pro vince of Zealand will be re-inforced, they being much too weak in some places, and the duty is very heavy, on account of the numerous furloughs that have been grant ed, which makes it feared that there may be much sick ness in the autumn, when the soldier, if overfatigued, is peculiarly liable to the fevers that prevail in that season. At present the health both of the troops in garrison and of the crews of the squadron in the Scheldt is very good. " AMSTERDAM, Attn. 19.—0 n the 12th of this month the Prussian ship the Hebe, Capt. J. C. Damonski, from Topsham, bound to Dantzic, was lost on the third exte rior bank of the Texel. By the exertions of the crew of the safety-boat, five of the crew were got on shore the same day, and three others on the following, so that of the whole only the lots of one sailor is to he lamented. "AMSTERDAM, Aua. 20.—Actual Debt, 2i per cent., 50, 51 ; Amort Syndic, 4i- per cent., 87, 881; ditto, 3i per cent., 714, 724 ; Voluntary Loan, 1831, 6 per cent., 102, 102-/ ; ditto, 1832, 5 per cent., 94, 95 ; ditto, 1833, 91, 95.

The decrease of crime throughout Somerset shire is matter of great gratification. Out of 28,000 persons, in 26 parishes, not a single prisoner was com mitted by the Justices at Taunton for that division, to be tried at the late Bridgewater assizes. The advices from Smyrna of the 7th ult. state that the number of vessels entering that port, from the Ist April to the 30th June, was 120. Of these 30 were under the English flag, and 22 under that of France. Thirty-one vessels had sailed during the same period under the English flag. _ . ROBBERIES AT RAMSGATE..—TiIe Captain of the Royal William cautioned his passengers, pre viously to their landing on the jetty at Margate on Saturday evening, to take care of their pockets, as there were many suspicious persons on board his vessel. The fact is, that about half a dozen of " the swell mob" were pointed out on the Parade. The consequence was the flight of theme "birds of passage" to Ramsgate. On Sunday, on leaving the church after divine service, several ladies were robbed of their watches, &c. On Sunday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, just as Mr. FARNHAM FLOWERS had returned home to the Eel.pie House below Limehouse, with three of his brother's children and the servant MARK ROGERS, in a chaise cart, within a few yards of the stable door, the horse (which was purchased only the day before) suddenly turned round and went direct into the canal, when all the chil dren and the servant were thrown into the water. Rooxas had the youngest child in his arms, and they went down together; in about four minutes the cart turned up, and the child floated. The three children were preserved by the extraordinary exertions of a young man named Joux MutisoN, a sailor, who rescued them from a watery grave. Mr. FARNHAM FLOWERS was saved by leaping into the canal at the moment the cart was going into it. Unfor tunately MARK ROGERS, the servant, was drowned, al though he was not longer than eight or ten minutes in the water, having been taken out with the drag belonging to the Humane Society, which is kept at the Eel-pie House. Every method was used to restore animation, but was of no avail, and three medical gentlemen were in attendance. RoaEßs has left a wife and one child. The horse was also drowned. A meeting of the house of Fairlie and Co., which recently suspended payment, took place yesterday, Sir Charles Forbes in the chair. From the statements then produced, it appeared that the total assets amounted to 1,003,0001., of which were considered doubtful 541,0001., leaving a balace of 462,0001. in good or sup posed to be available assets. The debts of the firm, exclusive of bills returned to India, were stated at 863,000/. and the amount of bills so returned at 181,000/., making the total of debt 1,044,000/. In the debts is included a sum of 60,006/. tlue from Messrs. Fairlie and Co. to the house of Ferguismsnd Co., of Calcutta, on a supposition that the bills will be honoured by the latter. It is proposed to pay to th, creditors 12i per cent. before Christmas next on the 863,000/. debts; and a hope was expressed at the meeting that 37i per cent. in addition, making in the whole 50 per cent., will ultimately be forthcoming, pro vided the bills do not come back from Calcutta. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A MISER. —On Friday night last JAMES SMITH, an old man between 60 and 70 years of age, who resided in Paradise street, Manchester-square, known in the neighbourhood from his penurious habits and supposed extreme poverty, and principally supported by the benevolence of the neighbours and a small weekly pittance which he received from the parish, expired at his lodgings after a few days' illness. Ihe apartment occupied by this miserable being corresponded with his general habits of wretchedness, its whole furniture consisting of a filthy flock bed. During the period of his illness he continued to sleep with his smallclothes on, and though frequently requested by the persons who out of pure charity attended on him to have them taken off for his own comfort, no persuasions could induce him to have them removed. On Saturday morn ing the fema►e employed to lay the deceased out, on remov ing his sinallclothes, discovered a pocket, sewed all round the waistband, and in it, to the surprise of all persons present, Bank of England notes, some of very old date, to the amount of 300/., besides ninety sovereigns, and a few half-sovereigns. This truly miserable being, we un derstand, has not a single relation to benefit from his long boarded treasure. A short time ago a Mr. Davis, newsman, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, discovered that a man in his employ, named Bevan, had forged a check in his name for the sum of 3001., which was cashed at his bankers by a man named Karesley, his brother-in-law. They both immediately absconded. Mr. Davis gave information to the Middlesex magistrates and the different police stations, describing both men. On Monday last he received a letter from the magistrates of Cork, informing him that a vessel had just sailed for New Brunswick, and that whilst out at sea she took up two men in a boat, who bad been cruizing about for three days, waiting for her; but in con sequence of contrary winds she was obliged to put back into the Cove of Cork. A policeman was sent on board to search for another party, when one of the sailors mentioned the circumstance of picking up the two men at sea, and that they had given the boatman 10/. for his trouble. Suspecting all was not right, he took them both into custody. On the person of Karesley he found 132/. and some silver; on Bevan there was no property. They were both brought before the magistrates, but no one appearing against them, they were discharged. They passed as two brothers, under the name of Smith. The day after they were discharged, information was received by the magistrates of Cork of the forgery, with a descrip tion of the men. The police were immediately on the alert, and after much trouble, succeeded in taking Bevan, who is now in custody, and Mr. Davis has proceeded to Cork to indentify him. ALLAN CUNNINGHAM, we hear, has a new edition and a new life of BURNS irf hand. Hitherto the works of the illustrious peasant have been ill-arranged ; the natural order of composition has been neglected.; poems which he never wrote have been printed as his ; much which bears the stamp of his own peculiar genius is still in manuscript ; while his letters have been compelled to carry the dead weight of others from various correspon dents. To arrange the works of the poet in a 'Laura' and intelligible order—to illustrate and explain them with in troductions and notes—and to add to the whole such a full and ample Memoir, as shall display his character as a man, and his merits as . a poet—and relate the story of his brief, but eventful career in a manner at once faithful and bold, is the task to which Mr. CUNNINCILA3I has ad dressed himself. Ile has obtained, and is still obtaining, new matter, poems, letters, and anecdotes, from many sources. The work will extend to six volumes ; the first to contain the life, the other five the poems, letters, songs, remarks, and memoranda ; and each volume will be illus trated with two landscape vignettes, from drawings on which artists are at this moment employed, in the coun ties of Ayr and Dumfries."... Pc iithencium, Aug. 17. SPIRIT OF THE PUT3I.Ie JOURNALS. We were right, as appears by last night's intelli gence, in the opinion we expressed yesterday con cerning Bourmont, and in our.view of the exagge ration practised by the London MigueliteS, when they talked of his arrival on the 12th instant at Santurem, and of his army amounting to 30,000 men. The French General had on that clay reached, not Santarem, but. Coimbra, and not with 30,000 soldiers, but with 12,0001 He had thus advanced about 76 miles, instead of 146—was 156 miles from Lisbon, instead of 52—and instead of an ave rage march of thr,N., days, had before him one of nine. As, then, the arrival of Bourmont at Coim bra appears to have been known at Lisbon on the 12th, the better portion of the garrison of Oporto might have been sent for and brought away in steamers, so as to reach the capital by the 16th at latest, or four days in advance of Bour mont, were he even to move forward at the rapid pace, for a disorganized army, of almost 20 miles per diem. If; then, the game of the Constitu tionalists be not badly played—if abundant re sources be not misapplied, and a noble and thriv ing cause ruined by gross mismanagement, we have no fear for the result of Bourmont's pro jected coup de main upon Lisbon. That there may be parts of Don Pedro's conduct calculated to rouse the indignation as well as fears of all who are anxious for the restoration of good government in Portugal, far he it from us to deny. It is no secret that the Duke of Braganza is miserably surrounded, that he gives his confidence to the mean and worthless, and treats honourable and enlightened Statesmen with revolting distrust, and that when occasions of diffi culty arise, they are more aggravated than assisted by such poor creatures as Candid° Xavier ; it would therefore be but a becoming, because a protective policy on the part of England, to interfere between Donna Maria and the fortune which seems to be preparing for her future life by her ill-advised father and his counsellors, not one of whom appears fitted to exercise the very lowest functions of discretionary power, and least of all when the principle of Mini - terial responsibility has not yet been brought into definitive or effective action. We published yester day another intercepted letter, being from the busy partisan and agent Saraiva, to the Duke de Ca. daval. Not meaning to insinuate that the poli tical reputation of Lord Beresford could be injured by any proceedings of his Lordship in favour of the tyrant and usurper Miguel, we shall not trouble our readers with any superfluous comment upon the intercourse between the Noble Viscount and his colleague, the said M. Saraiva ; but it pains us to see a man of Lord Aberdeen's character exposed in the manner in which this secret correspondence represents him. With what face, let us ask, could the Earl of Aberdeen bring for. ward accusations against Ministers for overlooking, and against British officers, naval and military, for committing what he termed " breaches of neu trality," by entering the service of the legitimate Queen, when he himself is here alleged most posit tively to have been in frequent consultation with Miguel's official agent, in respect of the most ap proved method of carrying on the war against tbat Princess, whom Lord Aberdeen, as British Foreign Secretary, had acknowledged, and to whom Miguel had, in presence of the British authorities, sworn absolute and unlimited allegiance? How could Lord Aberdeen venture to tax his Majesty's Go vernment with criminality on such grounds as we have stated, when he must have been con scious, if Saraiva tells his principal the truth, of having strongly recommended to Miguel's Govern ment the employment of British naval officers, to per petrate that offence in behalf of Miguel, for whir}, he (Lord Aberdeen) had declared, that when en gaged for Pedro, they ought to be dismissd the service, and for permitting which the Minister. themselves ought to be punished as violators of the laws of nations? It affords us no pleasure, we can assure Lord Aberdeen, to dwell on inconsistencies like these; but on looking at his confederacy with Lori Beresford and wit.i‘ Miguel, one is tempted tr exclaim that faction, lik poverty, " brings us ac quainted with strange bedfellows."—Times. The Bill for regulat, g the municipal G' S& boroughs returning %embers to Parliament under the Reform Bill is a wh o l esome an d no b le concep tion of the Lord Chancello r . Thi s i s a measure quite apart and rg eneralee interferes reform of corpor ate abuses, with the latt er urgent and paramount object of l eg i s l at i on. The it from in no any degree chief necessity for the plan proposed by the Lord Chancellor seems to be in the likelihood that, un less some broad and popular basis be laid for the municipalities of those represented boroughs not yet possessed of fitting corporations, the description of functionaries who now conduct their internal busi ness, whether political or judicial, may in process of time, for want of a sound and efficient re sponsibility, become instruments for neutralizing the better portion of • the advantages con ferred upon the electors by the reform of Parlia ment, and thus eventually bring those boroughs to the same condition with the general mass of their corrupt and rotten predecessors, which were at once the moving causes and the most prominent victims of the Reform Bill of last session. The Lord Chancellor lays down one distinct principle whereon to build the municipal constitution of the 30 boroughs referred to—viz, that the electors of their Parliamentary representatives shall also have the choice of the members of their Common Com cil, the latter body, chosen for three years, having in their turn the right of electing aldermen far the term of life. The important office of Recorder is to be filled at the pleasure of the Crown, subject, on the suggestion of Lord Wynford, to a veto by the corporation. This excellent Bill would, in some respects, have been more complete had the House of Lords been wise enough to pass the Local Courts 811, for which the country was farther in debted to the Lord Chancellor. But that last mentioned measure we still hope, with the Learnrt Lord, to see ripened into an Act of Parliament na the course of the ensuing session. The Chancery Offices Bill is another splendid instance of the zeal and spirit, and enlightened judgment of the present Chancellor, in providing for the public interest by the sacrifice of his own. This one Bill, which was read a third time and passed in the House of Commons on Thursday evening -1, abolishes thirteen great offices, nuisances of long standing, mostly sine cures, thereby saving to the country upwards of 21,0001, per annum. The amount of the saving to be divided between the suitors in the shape of an abolition of fees to the extent of 9,0001., and the Consolidated Fund. 2. The Bill reduces the in come of Masters in Chancery, hitherto receiving 3,9001. per annum, from fees, &c., to 2,500/, per annum, paid as a fixed salary : the saving under ;hat head is, from 10 Masters in Chancery, 14,000/. per annum ; other savings in the Masters' office, by reductions and abolitions of various offices, 41,000/. per annum. The direct economy of this proceeding is extensive, but the indirect advantages are enormous, inasmuch as the mode of payment to these officers, henceforth to be superseded, was in fact a premium upon every species of fraud and oppression towards the suitors. Let it be recok lected that all this heap of ill-gotten wealth wa.a in the sole patronage of the Chancellor, and that its diminution is nothing else than an abridgment of his own influence and power. Let it be further considered, that Lord Brougham has, by this same Bill, surrendered to the Crown-.that is, subjected to ministerial responsibility—the appointment of the Masters, hitherto regarded, by all preceding Chancellors, as a perquisite appertaining co them selves alone; and we do think that the disinte restedness and publi c v i rtue o f L or d B r oug ham's character will require no other evidence or record.—, Timer. The petition presented to the House of Corn.. mons a few nights back, by Mr. Cobbett, from Mr. Foster, late newspaper proprietor of Leeds, states several facts, w hich, if they cannot overcome, ough t at least to weaken the hostility borne by the 1 - lon. Member for Oldham to the proposed establishmerit,
