Little business was done in the Hou:e of Lords last evening. In answer to a question from Lord MINro, relative to parochial schools in Scotland, the Earl of HADDINGTON said the att?ntion of the Government had been turned to the subject, and next session some mea:eare would be introduced to grant better remuneration to schoolmasters in Scotland. The Bill introduced by the Bishop of EXETER, kr the supprestion of immoral homes, was read a second time. The brief conversation which took place on the occasion will be found very edifying, though not quite to the liking of the Deau and Chapter of West minster. The Howie adjourned at Ilalf-past &ve il , In the Commons, leave was given to bring in a Bill -to make a railway between Dublin anl C as h e l . :after the presentation of several petition', Ai r , T . DiTNCOMBE presented petitions from W. J. LiNrox, Wu :Liam LovETT, JOSEPH MAZZINI, and ( tilers, complaining of the detention .::nilopting of their letters at the Post-office, and prayiag for redress. The' conduct of Mr. DUNCOMBE, on this occasion, deserves every praise. We have adverted to the subject in a separate arlicle. . . The House went into Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill, when Mr. MILES, the Member for Bristol, moved the following amendment, on the first clause being proposed :—" That from and after the 10th day,of November, 1844, the duty. upon sugar, the produce of British possessions, be reduced to 205.., the hundred weight ; and that the dutiei 6n sugar, certified to be the growth of China, Java, or Manilla, or of any foreign country, the sugar of which her ra I LlA,;ieyrin qoppcil shall have declared to be admissi 45re'llnftc.bil,b1_1ig the produce of slave labour, shall ' , .., namely, brown, Muscovado, or clayed (ic 4 t , the cwt. 303.; white clayed, or sugar otherwise par: 4 oared, and equivalent to white clayed sugar, I ,t4s!, with five per centthereon," the cwt., Mr. BAILEY seconded the amendment. \? -_„ .. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIVOiIIt oppoied the amendment, and contended that, taking every cir cumstance into account, the measure proposed by the Government was not adverse to the interest of the Co!onies. Mr. idittOUCIIERE condemned, in several respects, the Government. It was ostensibly foundei on the principle of excluding slave-grown sugar, which was impos3ible, while they offended their best customers merely to keep up a hypocritical pretence. Other Members addressed the Committee, when the House divided, and Mr. P. MILES' amendment was carried by a majority of 20; the numbers being 241 for it, and 221 against it. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. In the Commons last night Yr. T. DUNCOMBE brought forward a subject of vast importance to the community. In some foreign States it has been the practice to open letters at the Post-office, to pry into the secrets of private life, and to obtain information by stealth, which may for some State purpose, or some selfish private purpose, be used against indi viduals; but in this country, till under the rule of Sir JAMES GRAHAM as Home Secretary, such a breach of confidence, except in the worst times, never was contemplated. When a man puts a letter into the post-office here, he confidently bellevea be puts it into a secure place ; he believes the communi cations he maks to his family and friends will not be read either by Postmaster-General, or ponny pog man, or Secretary of State, and that no human being will venture to break a seal which has hitherto, in this free country, been regarded as sacred as the door of his private residence—denominated by the law of the land, his eagle. But it appears Englishmen are subject to as tyrannical proceedings as the most barbarous serfs of Russia. No letter put into the Post-office is t-afe. It is opened and read by the authorities ; if they think proper, it is detained, and perhaps destroyed, ut the will and pleasure of an informer, or to gratify the malignant and jealous spirit of some man in office. The fact was 'net night openly admitted by the Secretary of State for the Home Department. He admitted that he had issued a warrant for opening and detaining a letter, but that warrant had since been withdrawn—in other words, he had opened a letter without just grounds, and had been compelled to withdraw the warrant, because he had acted improperly. On being further questiored, he refased to give any explanation. He called the SPEAKER to his aid, who possibly acted in accordance with the rules cf the House, and would have quashed the discussion but for the ready vigour and free spirit displayed by the Member for Finsbury, Mr. DUSCOMBE, who on a subject so interesting to free men, was not to be-put down by the decision of the SPEAK ER,er the stern, dry rules of the House. When the SPEAK nit had decided against any further discussion, as the motion was not a matter of urgent necessity, Mr. T. llneecostnc claimed his right to address the House, and made a motion which entitled him to speak, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. F. SHAW, and Mr. SPEAKER, too, Were all obliged to listen to him in solemn silence, while he was vociferously cheered by those Members who stood up for the liberty of the subject. Never did any Minister of the Crown come out of a serape with so little credit. The Home Secretary is the greatest enemy of Sir ROBERT PEEL. He has dispersed, by main force, public meetings peaceably assembled to discuss the griev ances of the people, and he now imitates the policy of foreign despots, by opening private letters confided to the Post-office. These are the acts of a Conserva tive Government. Tbis outrage upon public l'berty, however, cannot rest here. Sir JAMES GRAHAM musz, undergo some further interrogations, and if we mis take not, Mr. T. DuNcomßE will compel him to make a full confession. 'We quote the following from a Morning Contem porary :—" Yesterday evening, the large arched window in the side of the tower of St. Stephen's, Walbrook—a church celebrated for 4.4 architectural beauty, as being the chef dceuvre of Sir CHRISTOPHER WRuN—fell with a tremendous crash upon the pave ment below. The whole of the wooden frames, with the cross iron bars, bolts, and glass embedded in the lead, lay for some time smashed to atoms on the 114.10 'I S. &La •ss - --, l — , ..cai,erncyce& into the church portico ; while the beadle and others ascended the tower to inspect the state of the other windows, which were found to be in a very unsafe state.' This accident, which by the bye, might have been attended with very dangerous consequences, inasmuch as a woman and two children, who charmed to be turning down Walbrock at the time, " narrowly escaped destruction by the intervention only of a few inches"—this accident, we say, could not have been unexpected by the parochial authorities, for Dr. CKOLY, several weeks ago, publicly called their attention to the dilapidated condition of the church, warning them that not only were the win dows unsafe, but that the very pulpit was tottering; and, moreover, that there was not a pew door but what gave indications of an intention ere long to part company with its hinges, and grievously endamage the toes of whoever happened to be passing up or down the aisles at the moment. But, as has been well observed, " that which is every body's busi ness is nobody's business," and not until some man of note in the parish has had his " re spectable " sconce cracked by the fall of another window into the street, or the amiable rector has tumbled through his pulpit, and suffocated the clerk beneath the weighty avalanche of' his descent,—not until some accident or other of this sort has happened, will the parochial authorities of Walbrook think it their duty to set in right earnest about the necessary repairs of their Church. But our object in alluding to this matter is not so•much to recommend the im• - Mediate restoration of the long-neglected St. Ste phen's to its pristine state of beauty and safety, as to pint tut the absurdity of the Bishop of LONDON'S favourite scheme for increasing the spread of reli gion by the erection of new churches in the City and its suburbs. Of what earthly use 'is it to build additional churches, when those which we already have are only half filled, and what is worse, are regarded with so little respect, as to be permitted —as in the case of St. Stephen's—to fall into a state of dilapidation ? Those of our citizens who decline attending Divine service at the old churches, will certainly feel no very ardent desire to attend the new ones. The apostolic Bishop's first object should be to increase, by his in fluence and the zeal and frequency of his ghostly ex hortations, the number of the church-goers in his diocese; and when it has been satisfactorily demon strated that this number has so greatly multiplied that there is not sufficient accommodation for them in the churches alreading existing, then it will be full time enough to solicit subscriptions for the erection of new ones. But to build additional religious struc tures while some of the old ones are tumbling to pieces far want of the necessary repairs, and the majority are rarely, if ever, more than half fi 1-. d, seems to us to be about as absurd a crotchet as could ever enter into the head of an episcopal dignitary. It is not a useless multiplying of churches that will make the Bishop of LONDON'S flock more religious than they now are, but the increased zeal and efficiency of his clergy, shown by their exhibiting a kindrer sympathy with the feelings and interests of the poorer classes in their respective parishes. It is to this, and this only, that we look for that improved religious spirit among his vast flock which the ghostly Prelate hopes to excite merely by the erection of new churchee, just as though it were the church, and not the minister,' which possessed the csower of reformation. But we are at no great loss to account for the good Bishop's urgency in enforcing this architectural crotchet of his. As a matter of course, his power and patronage will . be wondrously strengthened by the building of new religious edifices, and this is a consideration of no slight weight with an active and ambitious Prelate, who possibly imagines that a day may come—and at enjoy the enviable no distant period—whe n h e may n distinction of signing himself " CANTUIU," Madrid journals of the 6th have been received, but they contain nothing remarkable. Even the butch • ertes committed'in Catalonia seem to be regarded as no novelty, and arc announced as mere matters of course. In - Valencia the same scenes are enacted. The Madrid Gazette publishes several bulletins dated from that place, stating that more Carlists had been taken prisoners and shot In one of these bulletins we 'find the following horrible announcement :—" It iseattulated that within the last fortnight General VILLALONGA, whose exertions are extremely merito rious, has caused one hundred and thirty-six to be put to death. The most important capture and exe oUtion was that of ISLizsa, one of the chiefs, who ssurned the title of Colonel. He was taken on the coast just as the small squadron on board of which their MAJESTIES were repairing b Barcelona was passing by." The Madrid Bourse was closed on the 6th, it being the Feast of Corpus Christi. Most of the Paris papers of Wednesday- contain the dispatches from General LAMORICIERE, relative to the collision between the French and Moorish troops, which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. It seems to be regarded at Paris as a matter of very little im portance, and the journals in general give them with out any comment. It had little or no effect on the funds. According to the Refornte, matters of some importance are in agitation in that part of Africa. " The coast of Morocco," it says, "is about to become the rendezvous of all the naval flags of Europe. A Dutch squadron is about to quit Flushing under the orders of Prince HENRY of the Netherlands, and will not fail to remain some time before Tangiers, where it will find French, British, Spanish, and, probably, American, ships of war. At the same time we learn from Christiana, of the 28th of May, that a Norwe gian frigate and corvette, and a Swedish 'frigate, would sail for Tangiers, where negotiations were being conducted with the Emperor of MOROCCO." Most of the journals gave short biographi cal notices of the Duke of ANGOULEME, and bear testimony to the excellence of his private character, but, adds one of them, the Globe, " there never was a man born to the inheritance of a throne, who pos• seised fewer of those qualities which are required to render one worthy of ascending it. He could scarcely have been a King at the Tuileries, and it was more than ridiculous to call him King in his exile." He was born at Versailles on the 6th of August, 1775, and was consequently in the 69th year of his age. The Presse thus announces a change in the Greek Ministry : "The President 6f the Greek Ministry, M. Mavrocordate, hss just given. in his resignation, and all his colleagues were on the point of following his example. This Cabinet, formed under English influence, hal, from the moment of its acces sion to power, met with an opposition to which it was at last obliged to yield. General Collett, who is not hostile to French influence, will, without doubt, be charged with the formation of the new 'Ministry." THE BO URSE—WEDNESDAT, J UKE 12. _ First Highest Lowest Last Price.

The royal mail steamer Britannia, Captain John Hewitt, with the mails from Boston and Halifax, arrived in our river at an early hour this morning, after an ex cellent voyage of 12i days from New York, and 10i from Boston, she haring left those ports on the 13t and 3d respeztively. She has brought 75 passengers. The Caledonia, which sailed hence 19th May, arrived at Bos ton on the Ist June, at 7 A.u. As her letters were quickly delivered, it enabled merchants in BJston to answer them by the Britannia. The Baltimore Conrention had resulted in the nomi nation of James K. Polk, of Tenessee, as Democratic candidate for President, and George M. Dallas, of I'en sylvania, as Vice-President. This result is looked upon as most favourable to the Whig candidate., Mr. Clay and Mr. Freylingliasen. A great fire had oecur,ed in New Orleans on the 18th ult., by which property to the value of 400,000 dollars was destroyed. Nearly three hundred valuable buildings were burned, and v.t least :Lona pprsons lc ft housetess by the ealnmity. No fresh steps in the Annexation Scheme had been taken ; the belief that it would be rejected by the Senste increased. As Congress would adjourn by the middle of June, its fate would soon be decided. 'I he general Congressional proceedings do not possess any interest. :MONEY AND COMMLIZCIAT, NEWS. NEW YORK, MAY 31.—The prosperous condition of the country seems to be indicated by what is not generally an indication of prosperity—the abundance of money and the consequent low rate of interest. Yet at this moment trade is flourishing, industry fully called forth and rewarded, and wages are rising, white money goes begging and interest is falling. The Banks have expanded over much, perhaps—though at low rates—seeking to make up by the largeness of amount lent fur the lower rate of interest submitted to. Stocks of all sorts have risen.. The " fancies," as they are called, or gambling stocks, have run so much beyond any real value they possess, that the speculating spirit has been turned to dividend-paying stocks of the States—which have risen in consequence. There is nothing a-head to excite solicitude respecting our public affairs; and this is true; for on all hands it is now understood that the Texas treaty will be rejected, and that nothing will come of that ill-omened project—and but for that, the political sky is without a cloud.

These difficulties having arrive:l at a termi nation, the sale is positively fixed to commence on Mon day next, and continue until Thursday. It has created an extraordinary sensation throughout all Surrey. The gentleman's known taste and liberal expenditure has extended far and wide, and the anxiety to possess, amid so many, one or two of the relics, will in all probability c•iuse the competion to be of unusual extent. The pub lic view this week has attracted already many hundred persons, including a great portion of the rich and in fluential gentry o: the 'country. The estate, which is auceunted one of the prettiest things throughout Eng land, with a demense exceeding six hundred acres of finely-timbered park and farms, is at length doomed to the uncertain fate of the hammer, and Mr. George Robins has fixed on the 1 Ith of the ensuing month as the klay for competition. There is no doubt a considerable ex citement will be visible with a view to possess one of the most favoured seats throughout Surrey. II ER MAJESTY'S THEATER.—It was St. Leon's benefit, - according to the bills, on Thursday„ and he played, be tween the acts of Don Giovanni, a fantasia, composed by himself ou motives from Guillaume 7xll, and exhibiting his weli.know•n power of execution. The house was crowded, and the audience encored the duet, " La ci darem"()y For nasari and Persiani) and "II mio tesoro" (by Marto). On Thursday next, it is said, Costa's opera of Don Carlos will be produced. _ CASE AND BLAGROVE'S CONCERT.—Messrs. Case and It. Blagrove gave their first concertina concert on Wednesday nigktat the Queen's Concert-room, Hanover square, and were rewarded with a room full to overflow. The progratnme included the Overture to Dan Giovanni, Spohr's Nocturno in C., Beethoven's Septett, and Weber's " Invitatiun pour leValse," adapted to two treble, tenor, and bats concertinas. This is a great encroach ment on the vested rights of violin, viola, and violon cello; and though they will not be superseded, the music, which has long been their exclusive property, and only to be drawn out by first-rate masters, is now accessible to any one of moderate industry • for the concertina is of trifling difficult): compared to the string family. In a few years, it is probable that Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven's quartetts will be coneertinocd in the draw ing -room as commonly as the last new opera is to be heard from pianoforte or harp. Mr. Case is well known as a rising 'artiste, both on the concertina and violin, and he also possesses an enterprising ITirit. The ex tended use of the concertina is entirely his projection. The idea was much ridiculed when first mooted, but he has now shown that it is an excellent substitute for either wind or string, and possessing facilities entirely its own. Messrs. T. Baker and Case performed Osborne and De Bc riot's ductt from William Tell for the piano forte and violin, with great spirit, and well merited the applause they received. Misses Dolby,Williams,Lockey; John Parry, Regondi, Gear, and Ferrari, contributed - to this novel and agreeable entertainment, MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The value of Consols this afternoon was slightly de preciated, 97i having been paid, though the latest bar gains wexo at 98 to 94.. The Unfunded Debt continues firm, as also the heavy securities. As usual, after the settlement of the account, the Fo reign Szcurities have undergone some fluctuation. Spanish Actives improved this afternoon to 22i and 23*, and the Three per Cents. to 341 .3 . 41,; but the most decided alteration was in Mexican Bonds, which got up to 34i owing partly to the more favourable advices from the United States. Portuguese Converted were steady at 47. Belgian Bonds were 104. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these:—Birmingham and Gloucester New were 54 ; Croydon, 41 to 41 ; Manchester and Leeds, 351 ; Ditto and Birmingham, 15 ; Newcastle and Darlington, 21i 5 i ; South• Eastern, 2i- to 2 ; York and North Midland, ; D N i o tt r o w ich New,rn and Brandon, 64 68i to 69i ; Ditto Half, 33 ; Scarborough Branch, 16i to 16/ ; and Paris and Orleans, 171 to 18 premium ; Brighton, 31 to 3k ; Greenwich; 54 to 5; and North Midland, 7 to 7+ discount. With the exception of a slight decline on Hamburgh, occasioned by the lower quotations per to-day's mail, wecannot notice any alteration of moment in the Foreign Exchanges. The American accounts read well as regards trade. The following are polit'cal extracts relative to Cuba and Central America " The Florence has arrived from Mantanzas, with ad vices to the 22d May. "There had been a number of people, white and black, arrested two d ,ys before the Florence sailed, on suspicion of being conc:•rnel in the abortive insurrection. The Court was sitting at Mantanzas, trying the negroes be longing to the plantations. There had been a number condemned, taken oat to the plantations to which they belonged, and shot. The prisons and forts were crowd e d with prisoners. "It was said that-Mr. Donald, a native of New York, and an engineer, was arrested and imprisoned, charged with being concerned in the riots ; else several other engineers. " The Thomas H. Benton, Captain Roberts; arrived yesterday from San Juan, reports that he (Captain It.) attempted to enter the port of St. John's, in Central America, but was refus , d admittance, it being under a blockade by H. B. M. schooner of war Hornet, Lieut. Miller. The blockade had last , d three months. the British vessels which enforced it being relieved monthly." (From The Sun of Last Night.) . • A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yester day at very full prices.

The result of the debate in the House of Commons on the second reading of the Bank Charter Bill has been the subject of much conversation in the City this morning, and many complaints arc made that the Government will not concede two of the points so much asked for, namely, an extension of the amount of the issues of notes by the Bank of England upon securities, and a more liberal mark as to the amount of the issue by the country bankers. However, almost all hope is given up that in Committee there will be any material alteration in the principle of the nnasure as at first brought forward by the Chancellor of the Exchequez. A large amount of merchandise has been cleared for home consumption yesterday and to -day. The river, the docks, and the revenue departments of Customs and Excise, are in a most bustling state. The receipts this week have been almost unprecedezated, and what - is the more satisfactory, is the fact, that the purchases, in the majority of instances, have been bursa fide and not iu time bargauie. We are without anti• arrivals of interest this morning. The rig to raise the wind by the Financial Minister of Madrid has failed,' according to our letters received to-day, from thence, although in a place like that, one scheme soon fol lows another. The Exchange from Hamburgh comes over at 13 64, being rather lower, and the price of gold at 434. Not a great deal of business was done in the Consol Market this morning. The price for the Account touched 98i at one time, but the general rate has been 95a. The Three-and-a- Half per Cents, have been done at two percent. above par; Long Annuities at 12 7-16ths ; and ReducPd Three per Cents. at 9811 4. The premium on Exchequer Bills has advanced to 755. Bank Stock left off yesterday at 198 a. It has just been sold at 197 a. This is the settling day for the half-month in the Foreign House, and, as money is very easy, all has gone off well as vet. Spanish may be quoted a shade better, the Three - Cents. having touched 34 ; and the Fire per Cents. 224 for the end of the month. Dutch and Belgian Bonds are firm. Portuguese Five per Cents. are worth 78. Mexican are fiat at 334; and Colombian ex Venezuelan at 12 1 1 4. A bargain was made in Russian at 118. The London and Birmingham Railway Shares have rallied this morning from 112 to 118 premium, but this value has since gone back to 116 premium. The New Shares com mand 34, and the Qaarters ditto, 22A premium. In general, the Railway Share Market looks buoyant, but not many real transactions have vet been reported. MANCHESTER TOCIC EXCHANGE, JUNE 13.—We have had a dull market to-day, and only a small amount of busi-; nesslias been transacted. Manchester and Leeds Half Shares, 441; Paris and Lyons, 3 9-16 -A ; Trent Valley, 74 ; Man chester, Bury, and ltossendtee, 5, ; Chester and Holy head, 51. CLOSING PRICES.

THE NEW _CURRENCY BILL. The Isle l w 'ro C m ur t r h e e nc 3 y fo ß n i l l i l ng i/ virtually carried ; and the Continental scale of prices has been recognised as the scale of prices best fitted for the meridian of England. Sir Robert Peel's currency scheme is, confessedly, borrowed wholesale from Mr. Jones Loyd, one of the most rampant of the advocates of free ,trade in corn— although, as Mr. Gisborne slily remarked, not a free trader in his own business of banking. Mr. Charles Buller, indeed, complimented the Minister on having adopted the doctrines of the " Politiaal Economy Club" as the basis of his legislative measures, and expressed a hope that a repeal of the corn-laws (as to the expediency of which all the members of the " Club" in question are agread) might be the next of the Right Hun. Ba ronet's reforms. Mr. Charles Buller's wish might have been spared. The corn-laws are, in effect, abolished by Sir Robert Peel's new currency measure. Tjader the action of that measure, prices in England must be forced down to the Continental level. The corn-laws must, aerefore, in all time to come, prove inoperative. Their specific repeal will scarcely . be thought necessary by even the most ruthless f.ce trader. The Ministerial measure was .opposed, last night, by Mr. Hawes. by Mr. Hastie, by Mr. Charles Buller, and by Mr. GiShorpe—all of them unflinching free traders, and staunch supporters of the principles of the money law of 1S 19. Yet even these honourable gentlemen shrink from a movement sa startling as that which is involved in the Bank Charter project. The fears, there fore, which Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Wodehousc, and Col. Sibtherp expressed as to the effect of the measure on the industry et' the country may fairly be assumed to be nut without cause. Of all the . triumphs'which, - under the auspices of Sir Robert Peel, the free traders have achieved, this on the currency question is, beyond comparison, the greatest. Well might Mr. Muntz exclaim, that he could under stand why the free-traders on his side of the House shOulcl support the Minister. but bow country gentle men, who are attached to the corn-laws and high prices, should support him, did, as the Hon. MemLer fur Birs . mingham admitted, surpass his comprehension. We shall hereafter carefully analyse the speeches de livered on the occasion. At present we have only space to announce the utter abandonment by the House of Commons of the last remnants of the policy of protection • INCENDTARISM.-It will be remembered that Mr.. Milner Gibson (who was formerly M.P. for Ipswich) a few evenings back, asked Sir James Graham, whether the atten tion of Government had been directed to the recent fear fully prevalent system of incendiarism in the counties of Suffolk, Norfolk, and Essex. The Hon. Member has now placed a notice on the books of the House of Commons, inti mating that it was his intention, " on the first supply night," to submit a " motion relative to the incendiarism now pre valent in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, and ],arts of Essex." This is indefinite enough as regards the form in which the matter is to be brought under the attention- of the House; but still it is gratifying to see that the Hon. Mem ber has taken the subject in hand. Nothing could be more unsatisfactory than allowing such a state of things to con tinue month after month sub and at r ocity.. sub silenti o, ocity.. There must .be w hile the fires are in creasing constantly in nu some cause for the evil. O ug ht not that cause be incinired into and investigated., and, if possible, remedied ?—.4drertiser. uo m Y 0 I:EWS AND /Outlir (st pinton. " Who runs may read." rozzxcarz. One of the Paris journals states, that the damage sustained at the Exhibition of National Industry, from the storm of Suaday, is estimated at nearly 200,000 f., (8,000/.) -The ob jects which suffered most were the carpets, shawls, silks, crystal goods, porcelain, and jewellery. Accounts have been received at Havre from Monte Video up to the end of March. - On the 28th a sortie was made upon the right wing and centre of the lines of - Oribe, and the success of it was such that the besiegers had 450 men killed and wounded. Amongst the killed were General Nunes and another superior officer. The Monte Videans are stated to have • had only 5 killed and 29 wounded. Amongst the latter were two colonels. It is not, perhaps, known to every one, says the Presse, that the King of Saxony, at present in England, is one of the greatest botanists in Europe. The desire to study British plants on the spot is, perhaps, one of the principal motives of his journey. The Lnpartial du Bide contains the - following Extra ordinary arrangements are being now made at Carlsbad, for the grand congress of European Princes, which is to take place there in the beginning of July. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia have, it is said, agreed to meet at Kissengen, where apartments have been already engaged for the two Sovereigns, and where the Emperor wits stop a few days, to drink the waters. On quitting hissengen, the Princes will proceed to visit the Rhenish provinces of Prussia, before reparing to the congress, where not only some members of the houses of Austria and Bavaria, but a g: eat number of other German Princes and distinguished diplomatists will assemble." A Leghorn letter of the 29th ult. announces the arrival in that port of two Msrouite priests from Beyrout, on their way to Yienna, to implore the protection of the Austrian Cabinet for the sect to which they belong. The Moniteur Algerivt, of the 4th, states that the census of Algiers, which was made up on the 31st of December last, shows an increase in the French population of 948 for the year 1843. The Constitutionnel states that the receipts of the Associa tion for the Propagation of the Faith, whose head-quarters are at Lyons, were, in 1843, 3,562,088 f. The expenditure amounted to 3,668,762 f. _ _ _ The Order o'f B&Cidietins havilately made the purchase of the Chateau de Bievre at the price of 800,000 f. The great lion of the day at Barcelona, during the visit of the egart, is the representative of the üblime Porte, Fuad Effendi. • The good people of the Catalonian capital are quite astonished to find that the report of his having brought all his harem with him was a mere hoax. The Verdart takes this opportunity of recording . a piece of gallantry of the grave Mussulman, which must win golden opinions for him amongst the fair sex of Barcelona. On being told that a report had been current that he had brought six wives with him, the Ambassador replied, " Why should I bring Turkish women with me to Spain, the country of grace - and beauty ?'' A Faris journal states that on the arrival of Sir Henry Hardinge, the new Governor-General, at Paris on Tueiday, he was conducted to Neuilly by Lord Cowley and M. Guizot. x,,avr AND PO24XCEI. The Judicial Committee, consisting of Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron Parke, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, and the Judge of the Admiralty Court, assembled to give judgment in an appeal, which related to the validity of a codicil exe cuted by the late Marquis of Hertford, at Milan, on October 28, 1828, and wherein Mr. Croker was named a legatee. The• Judge of the Admiralty Court, on the part of their Lordships, delivered judgment, expressing their Lordships' opinion that if the facts asserted in the allegation propounding the codicil were all proved, they would be insufficient in law to entitle the codicil to probate. Their Lordships, therefore affirTed the decision of the judge of the Prerogative Court, but,• un der the peculiar circametances of the case, directed the costs of both parties to be paid out of the estate. The hearing of the appeal in the case of the Queen v. O'Con nell and others, in the House of Lords, is fixed for Thursday, the 4th of July. In the Central Criminal New Court, Edward Bowe, 19 ; Eugene 3lacarth).', 19 ; and Henry Horne, 19, were tried and convicted of stealing 301bs. of lead, the propel ty of the Poi - lar Gas-light Company. Macarthy having • been previous:) , convicted, was transported for seven years; Hone, to six months' imprisonment; and Horne to nine months, in the House of Correction, and hard labour. At Worship-street, Mary Ann Neal, a remarkably good looking and neatly-dressed young person, and James Neal, her brother, a boy 13 years of age, were charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a_ gold watch, the property of Mr. Joseph Vivian, a boarder at the house of Mr. Skinner, in Little Knight lider;street, with whom the prisoners lived as servants. The female prisoner alleged in her defence that the watch had been given to her by her brother, who said he found it in Cle water-closet. Mi. Bingham committed both prisoners fur trial. COURT -PASEXONA73 I.E. About 500fisUOnablcs were present at Almsck's on Wed nesday. The next subscription, commencing on Wednesday next, promises to be a brilliant series, as the King of Saxony, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Duchess of Gloucester, have been invited by the ladies patronesses to honour one of the three balls by their presence previous to the close of the season. - Lordand Lady Aylmer entertained a select circle at dinner at their residence in Eaton-square, on Wednesday evening, including the Countess of Charlemont, the Earl and Countess Forte's - cue and Miss Gale, the Hon. H. Fortescue, Sir John and Lady Yards Buller and Miss Buller, Sir James Kempe, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Viscount and Viscountess Comber mere. After dinner her Ladyship received a limited number of her friends, the larger number en passant to meet the King of Saxony at the Earl and Countess of Wilton's. The Ilon. Mrs. Charles Law gave her first ball, on Thurs day, at the spacims mansion of the lion. and Learned Re corder on 'Hyde Park-terrace. The dancing commenced at eleven o'clock. At the hour of one there was a sumptuous supper. The dancing was afterwards resumed, and kept up with spirit until a late hour. There were present, about3oo fashionables, including several foreigners of distinction. The Countess of Powis'. held an assembly on Thursday in Berkeley-square. Lord cud Lady Braybrcoke entertained a select party at dinner on Thursday in Burlington-street. The Harrow School anniversary dinner takes place to day, at the Thatched House Tavern. The names of a great many noblemen and gentlemen are already deposited as purposing to be at the meeting. 2VIZSCEZZA.IZZOUS. The stated half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Ireland was held in Dublin on Wednesday, when a dividend of 4 per cent. on the half-year was declared. The Governor stated that it would be only necessary to take about 1501. from the surplus fund to make up the proposed dividend. From the returns laid before Parliament of the official and declared value of all British and Irish produce and manufac tures exported from the United Kingdom in' the ) ear ending the 6th of January last, it appears that the total "' official value" of such exports amounted to the enormous. sum of 117,877,2781. Of this amount 69,707,174/. was the official value of manufactured cotton goods alone, and 12,482,4251. more of twist arid yarn. Germany is the largest European importer from this country, having, during the last year, im ported no less than 12,701,2021.. worth of the above-named articles of British and Irish export.

We are _nabled to give a copy of the letter which was sent yesterday to Sir Robert Peel by the private bankers, and to which we have referred for the last day or two. It is as follows : " Lombard-street, June 11, 1844. " TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P. " Sir,—We, the undersigned bankers of London, are in duced by the importance of the measure, and our interest in its success, to address you Upon the subject of the Bank Charter Bill now before Parliament. "We were led to believe, when the measure was first brought forward, and we feel confident it was generally un derstood throughout the country, that although it was the intention of her Majesty's Government that the paper cir culation of the Bank of England, in their issue department should be limited to an amount not exceeding 14,000,0001. upon securities, yet that in the event of any particular crisis, arising, a power was to be reserved by the Bill, enabling the Bank of England, with the consent of the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Master of the Mint, to extend their issue upon secu rities beyond that amount. " It is with considerable surprise we,fincl that the Bill now before the House of Commons does not contain any provi sion for an extension of the issue beyond 14,000,0001. upon securities, excepting under the special circumstances named in the fifth clause' of the Bill now before Parliament. " We are apprehensive that the absolute limitatien of the issue to 14,000,0001., without any power of expansion being reserved, whether that amount be in itself a proper amount or not, will create a general feeling of uneasiness through out the country, and, by preventing the satisfactory recep tion of the measure, will deprive the scheme of many of the advantages it poesesses, and interfere with its success. "We respectfully submit that the effect of such au abso lute limitation will be to restrict the business of the country by leading to a general withdrawal of legitimate accommo dation, unless some power be reserved by the Bill for extend ing the issue, with the sanction of the authorities above alluded to, in cases of emergency, to be made apparent to such authorities.

Mr. Capps, the author of " The Nation in a Dilemma," in compliance with the request of several gentlemeii,, on Tues day last, re-delivered on Thursday, in the large room of the British Coffeehouse, his lecture on the currency plans - of Sir Robert Peel, showing their.tendency and effects. The audi ence listened with the deepest interest to the lecturer, who; in a clear and most effective exposition of the subject, sup ported . by extensive statistical and other information, laid down, and, it might be said, demonstrated the following propositions : That, according to the practice and the - ancient monetary policy of this country, the pound has not beeif - What Sir Ro bert Peel described it to have been—namely, a certain defi nite (by which it is concluded he must mean invariable) quantity of the precious met ass. That, supposing it had been such hitherto, it ought no longer, under the existing circumstances of the country, to be of such a character; for that the quantity of gold and silver to be obtained for the .pound, ought, as is the case with all other commodities, to be made to depend upon the amount of taxation upon commodities. That Sir Robert Peel, by means of his corntlaw legisla tion, 'has proved that the pound should be very different to what he would make it by his currency legislation ; and not Only so, but that the pound in this country might to be a variable-quantity of gold or silver, instead of a fixed quantity. That unless it be so, goods cannot rise in price according to taxation, in obedience to the maxims of political economy, and that neither can taxation be made to fall on the pal ties who ought to pay it. But, on the contrary, .if gold and silver be allowed to rise and fall like other commo dities, that diminished quantity of gold or silver which people would receive in exchange for their pounds would act as the most perfect property-tax. That the circumstance which has been represented to be such a dire calamity to the country, viz., the unfavourable state of the exchange§ produced by the Bank Restriction Act, and which has given rise to all Sir R. Peel's fatal mea sures on the currency, was in fact that very circumstance which produced ample and remunerating prices to all our produCtive classes ; and also hindered the foreigner from un duly profiting in- our high-priced markets at our expense. That instead of the Bank. Restriction Act giving rise to a new course of practice in our monetary affairs, it might more properly be described as a resumption of the ancient practice which - had existed for GOO years previous to the establish ment-of the Bank of England, a practice the circulation of that corporation had unfortunately superseded. Mr. Capps thus concluded I beg to conclude by en treating you, as Sir Robert Peel said that .the whole foundation of his measure rested upon certain assumptions - with reference to the pound—and for which assumption I hope I have made out to your satisfaction that the Premier had no good warranty—that you will exert the utmost influence you possess to prevent the dire calamities which must ensue, should Sir Robert Peel succeed in establishing his system of currency in all its stringency and rigour. With regard to • the ultimate] result I am perfectly at ease, as I know the truth must prevail in the end. The, Premier's present suc cess will insure his final defeat, but the misfortune is, that this happy result will only be brought about by the intense sufferings of the people. If the further suffering of several years could be prevented by the exertions of those who are actively engaged in combating .the errors which prevail en this subject, it would indeed be a glorious achievement. May I, without offence, earnestly and respectfully beg all present to lend their aid to that excellent Society, the Society for the Emancipation of Industry,' at the request of the pro moters of which I have ventured to appear before you this ,day, and given what assistance lay in my power in eluci dating the subject." At some moments the effect produced by Mr. Cappselicited marked expressions of surprise and approval, and so con vincing were the arguments and diagrams to the audience, that there was not an objecting voice. Some remarks were subsequently made by one of the company on the injustice and inexpediency of Government interfering with the circu lation of the country banks, alleging that publicity given to the names of bankers as a means of ascertaining the extent of responsibility, afforded au amply sufficient protection to the public. It was urged that all that Government had a right to interfere in was the supply of a lezal tender-money suited to our natural circumstances, as regards taxation. At the termination of the lecture, W. Williams, Esq., rose, and after thanking the lecturer for what he had heard, moved that Mr. Capps be requested to publish it without loss of time, as he not only desired to see the statements tested, but, if true, that, even in the eleventh hour, they should prove effective on our senators upon a question so vitally important to the national interests. An accident occurred on Thursday on the Hampton course, which it is feared will terminate fatally. A young man was lying stretched on the ground within the rails of the course, when one of the horses went over him atsfulr speed, inflicting a most dreadful wound upon his skull. TIIE LATE DEATII raom PRUSSIC AClD.—Yester day the .inquest was resumed by Mr. Baker, at the Fountain public. house, Stracey-street, Stepney, touching the death of Rachel Belancy, the. wife of a surgeon, who is at present in custody, and remanded for examination at the Thames-police Court, on suspicion of having administered a fatal dose of prussic acid to the deceaSed. Much additional evidence was obtained, but the mj stery attached to the case was by no means cleared up, when the Coroner again adjourned the in vestigation till two o'clock on Monday next. Prince Henry of Holland, in command of a small Dutch squadron bound to the !Si eaiterranean, arrived in Plymouth Sound en the llth instant, and was received by the Admiral of the station and other authorities with all the honours due to his exalted rank. ANTI-CORN-LACY LEAGUE DEMONSTRATION AT Bruairrox.—On Wednesday night there was an immense meeting in the Town-hall, Brighton, at which upwards of 1,000 inhabitants were present, convened by the Brighton Anti-Corn-law and Free-trade Association, in the character of friends of free trade. Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright were there, and made admirable speeches. 1:1 AYMAITALT THEATRE.—We are desired to state, that there is no foundation whatever for a rumour that Mr. Webster is about to quit the management of this house. It is true that the Adelphi will open under his direction, and that probably has led to the erroneous supposition that he will quit the Haymarket, whereas he will be lessee of both theatres. THE KING OF SA XON Y.—According to present ar rangements, his Majesty leaves for a tour in Scotland and Wales, on Monday next. On Saturday his Majesty and suite Intend to honour the horticultural exhibition, at Chis wick, by a visit. • MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.—Captain Rusall, En sign Pedder, two sergeants, one corporal, and twenty-seven privates of the 58th Regiment, are ordered from Chatham to Deptford, on Monday next, to embark on board the Lord Auckland , :onvict-ship, for Van Diemen's Land, as a con vict guard. • Sir John Chetwood, Bart., M.P., has been placed in mourning by the demise of his. son, Lieutenant Chet ivode, commanding the Royalist brig,. 10, at Port Essing ton; Mr. Chetwode's commission, as lieutenant, bore date Aug. 27, 1832. Mr. Ford, who was engaged as one of the solicitors for the travcrsers in the late State prosecutions, has arrived in town, and laid before counsel the necessary papers for the prosecution of the writ of error. Thursday the Lord Chan cellor sent to ascertain whether the agents of the travers,ers would take the 6th of July as the day of hearing in the Lords. In reply, it was suggested that the 6th would be Saturday. A communication was subsequently made by his Lordship, appointing Thursday, July 4, which is accordingly fixed as the day for opening the case. FRANKFORT, JU NE B.—lier Majesty Queen Adelaide left this city yesterday, and continual her journey by way of Fulda to Altenstain. The Duchess of Kent is expected on the 21st of this month at the English Hotel, where , her son the Prince of Lioningen has already ordered everything to be prepared for her reception. INEPEICIAL PA .L (A MENT. HOUSE OF LuirDS, June 14 Their Lordships assembl d at Five o'Clock. Bill Several petitions against the Dissenters' C ha P ew were presented. THE STATE TRIALS. In answer to a uestion from the Earl of wicittow, The LORD CHANCELLOR said there wits ll° foundation whatever for the report that the ci rcuits the judges in this country had been postponed until alren 5 the writ of error in the State trials hid been disposed of. PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND). The Earl of MINTO wished to ask w hether it Was the intention of the Government to propose a n y 5U for for assisting parochial education in Scotla nd. i e' minimum income of the schoolmasters Was 10s• a thus and the maximum was 361. a year. It was evident thu,. for this remuneration the services of gentlemen o c t i snperior education could not be obtained. He h i e g, ee t therefore to ask whether it was to be h o p ed at some future day the Government would take this subject into their consideration? The . Earl of HADDINGTON would not g o 'into surf ilismosten upon this subject, and would confine hirene to answering the question put by his Noble Frie nd. atteetian of the Government had been turned to the ct, and although it was net in hts po eer that the Government would introduce a measure due season, he believed that it would be done next M3S3iOO. Lord BROUGHAM said that the remunsration we: so scandalously inadequate that he wondered how men of education could be found to fill the -offices. thought their efficiency would not be impaired by givinem adequate salaries. The them Earl of GALLOWAY agreed with the Noble Earl Minto, that this was a subject worthy of t he I t; tention of the Government. In some counties schoolthasters were paid reasonably, and were r es Prr able and competent persons. But in other pia , '" position was much to be pitied. There was Act boot{, providilt 1823,, which was a disgrace to the statute that the house of the schoolmaster should not have inJsre , than two apartments, one of which should be 14 ' kitchen.— f (H ew ear, hear.) After a words from the Duke of RachPr o N n to a t g 4 Lord CAMPBELL in favour of an increased stipen ,l their schoolmasters, and alterations in the law respe etin g office, Lord MINTO expressed his gra tification at W Y° Viet the Government were disposed to introduc e a rn ev • sore upon the subject.

THE BROTHELS BILL. it; • The Earl of POWIS presented several pet itio n s favour of the Brothels Suppression Bill. ' of Lord CAMPBELL thought that in the discuis i°ll 4lo the Bill the Noble Lord, some other Membsr o' , ' to House, should use his privilege of ordering straug er te . e , withdraw. No one was more a friend to pill:heirs' oe he was, but he thought that the subject of this Bil l e d one which should be discussed inprivate, as he sidiri-ter some of the details were not fit to be canvassed by et6-er, Lordships' familiss at the breakfast table.—(ii es " - and a laugh.) ~,r or The Bishop of EXETER, in presenting a e uni of petitions in favour of the Bill for the Suppr ess i° - 0 Brothels, said that he could not object to the !Nal° and Learned Lord (Campbell) exercising his privil e g e ', (4 ordering strangers to withdraw ashen the Bill careSe e e for discussion. But he did not think that the dise n leet would of necessity introduce anything more yr:l - i l e a'. than the discussion of a divorce bill. The WIT T ' tee Preleteahen moved the second reading of the 13 1 ' 1 ' for said it was no part of his intention to punili pero°enm-eat, prostitutitin, which he believed was its oen Pn llls 7 s eith His object was to prevent the crime, and he reeeen e e to horror .the doctrine that prostitution was he eess rd - the prevention of greater crimes.

It was for the sake of the into nut of the seducer, that he would net dreg► ' se e a court of justice, to convict her tr`:ere, He 'would net proceed against those wh° guilty in the first instance ; but he thoughtevery it was the duty of a Christian Legislature to u se d pro' means of putting down the trade of prociteot s east curesses.
