Mom'ng ... !fl minutes after 7 I Evening ... 51 minutes after 7 • .IvA, 41,11% '4IV LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1844. No Governor-General of India has been more maligned than Lord ELLENBOROUGH. The press of England and India justly laughed at his puerilities, his songs of triumph ; era many of the journals la mented more than they blamed the attacks on his predecessor, and the pompous proclamations about the disasters of Caubul, the gates of Somnauth, and his firm determination to confine the British power for ever in India to the limits which bounded it at the accession of Lord AUCKLAND, Some, however, more severe than just, described him as the most incompetent Governor that ever had been sent out to rule that vast empire. We all along, however, endeavoured to judge him by his acts, and not by his words. We blamed him almost without one exception for what he said, and praised him for what he did. The result has not belied our opinions. Under his administra tion the honour and power of England were vindi cated in Affghanistan ; the most glorious and success ful march of armies through passes considered im passable was accomplished ; Caubul was recaptured, and the Affghans were taught the useful lesson, that neither their high mountains, nor their narrow valleys commanded from the heights, nor their barren deserts, could protect them against the forces of England. This was an important point gained in that quarter. The merit is not entirely due to Lord ELLENBOROUG tr, but he ordered the movement, and must come in for his share of the honour. That was, however, only an episode in his Lordship's government, though the im portant results which flow from it entitle it to a much higher rank. But the greatest achievement of Lord ELLENBOROUGII, greater, too, than any per formed by the most illustrio us f his predecessors, is the occupation of Sinde. When the news of that event reached England, Whigs, an d T or i es, and Radicals, joined in one cry for execration against the man who so cruelly deprived the innocent Ameers of their dominions, who added treachery to hypocrisy, who, from the ambition of conquest, risked the lives of British troops without an object either just, or honourable, or useful ; who sullied, the name of Eng land by a barbarous invasion, and 11.;(ened the unfor tunate General NAPIER and his brave troops to death, either from the sabres of the Beloochees, or the pesti lence of the climate. We are not aware that any journal, with one exception, justified the conduct of Lord ELLEN BOROUGH and Sir CIIA NIPTI'II 10 this great work of justice, r( Many member surface of public opinion, one of the most important events of the present day would have been vilely . frustrated. We never had but one opinion on the subject. The Ameers stood not only in the way of civilisation, but they claimed the right to interrupt one of the great highways of nations. They were, perhaps, the most selfish and barbarous tyrants in ex istence ; they obstructed our commerce with the northern regions of India, and what was more, they prohibited us from defending ourselves. The only remedy was to put them down with a high hand, and a NAPIER was justly selected for the important and noble duty. We call it noble. Was ever such an im portant result produced within the same period ? Twenty thousand of these fierce and irreclaimable Beloochees presented themselves to Sir CHARLES NA PIER a few months ago ; they came to pay their court to a man who but two years before they believed was determined to destroy them root and branch. They came unarmed, and made obeisance to the representative of the Queen of ENGLAND, and then retired to their country, struck with the honour, good faith, and magna nimity of the English, and anxious to spread the joyful news among their tribes on both banks of the Indus. The natives of Sinde have expressed, not by their language only, but by their deeds, their gratitude to the British General. For the first time in their lives they see justice administered, find protection against the oppressor, trade encouraged, robbery and plunder and murder abolished, and regard with astonishment the blessings of civilisation introduced by a race whom their Ameers held up to general detestation. Never did England obtain such a peaceful and holy triumph. We are almost inclined to contrast the English and French systems of colonisation—Sinde with Algeria—but it would be only a work of supere rogation. Every reader can do it for himself. We may here notice the attempt of a morning Contemporary to prove that the letter imputed to Sir HENRY POTTINGER, denouncing in the most un measured and outrageous manner the conduct of Lord ELLminoitouon and Sir CHARLES NAPIER, had no reference to these functionaries. It was writtEn before Sir HENRY had received the Blue Book, says A Correspondent; and we are, therefore, to infer that his indignation was directed against his own em ployers—a strange mode of getting out of a scrare. But we shall have an opportunity in due time of re curring to this affair. The Post, usually so calm and decorous in its lan guage, and so like a lady's-maid in its notions of the genteel, is this morning in—what Sir ANTHON Y Ansourru would call —" a thundering passion.' O'CONNELL and the Repeal question have, between them, fairly "scared it from its propriety," and it expresses itself with a vehemence that may be almost sa d to border upon frenzy. " Great wits to mad ness nearly are allied," says DRYDEN ; but here we have a proof that " small wits" have quite as close a connexion with insanity, for our Contemporary's sagacity is anything but remarkable for its enlarged character ; and none can doubt, who peruses the fol lowing strange, wild passage, that his mind is just at present in that state of hallucination, which no generous or susceptible nature can witness without emotion : "It is the merest fully in English statesmen," re marks the Post, in the intensity of its wrath, "to trust longer to the effects of conciliation. Ireland must be abandoned to the disloyal Romanists, or re••con quered, Ireland never can be governed by conciliation. She must be surrendered at discretion to the enemies of England, or governed by force. Nor let squeamish people start at this doctrine. Force is the principle to which the Romanists have appealed. 'What else meant the monster meetings of last year ? What meant O'CONNELL'S speeches breathing, as they did, blood and vengeance? The Repealers have, in fact, admitted that they will, if they can, carry their ends by violence. By violence, therefore, is England jus tified in maintaining her supremacy " Is it the placid and sentimental Post, usually so studious in the cultivation of the gentilities, that holds this fe rocious language ? Is it the Post, so conspicuous by its high-toned theories and its strenuous inculcation of a lofty political morality, that thus advocates the most demoralising of all evils, civil war ?—that re commends England to draw the sword, and once again let loose the blood-hounds of rapine and car nage through the length and breadth of un happy Ireland ? We can scarcely credit the evidence of our senses; and can only account for our Contemporary's language by supposing that his excessive indignation against the Re peal agitators has obnubilated his judgment, and blunted, if not wholly destroyed, that fine sense of humanity of which he is continually making such a parade. But to say nothing of the mingled frenzy and absurdity of the above passage, what can be falser than some of the statements contained in it ? " Ire land never can be governed by conciliation 1" Why, she never has been so governed, except perhaps during the brief period when 'she had a NORMANEY for a Viceroy, and a MORPETH for her Chief Secre tary, and then she was notoriously more tranquil and contented than she had been for ages before ; the demand for a Repeal of the Union, if made at all, was made only in a faint, languid whisper, and excited little or no public attention ; and the Irish Judges on their different circuits congratulated their countrymen on the great diminution of crime among them. If we except this brief—far too brief—period, Ireland, we repeat, never has been governed by conciliation. On the contrary, she has been governed on the principle of coercion, for the high Tories—the CASTLEREAGH and the ELDON party—were for a long series of years toge ther her sole, absolute governors ; and we need not explain to our readers what was the character of their Irish administration, for it is written in letters of blood on the page of history, and has engendered a feeling of distrust and impatience of English sway in the sister country that it will take more than one generation to obliterate. The experiment, then, of conciliation is an experiment that is yet to be made; and as it is one based on justice, and in strict harmony with all we can conceive of en lightened statesmanship, it should be made forthwith by Ministers, and in such a spirit, as shall oe an un erring voucher for their sincerity. But Heaven for bid that Government should ever adopt the Post's recommendation, and resort to the sword as a means for tranquillising Ireland! The sword ! What a world of atrocities is conjured up by the mention of this one little word ! The imagination shrinks aghast at the variety of appalling spectacles which it spreads before its gaze. But, fortunately, the tendencies of the age are decidedly opposed to such barbarous— und, we may add, ineffectual—schemes for putting down the free spirit of a people; and though an English Cabinet, true to old instincts, may still con tinue to neglect, harass, or even to coerce Ireland, we have not the slightest apprehension that it will ever again venture on the desperate step of letting loose the demon of war against her. As regards our Con temporary's assertion, that " O'CoxtiErz's speeches at the monster meetings, breathing, as they did, blood and vengeance," recommended an appeal to physical force, never was there a more unblushing falsehood ! Mr. O'ComiELL studiously repudiated the idea of appealing to physical force ; peace, order, and for bearance were invariably the burdens of his song; indeed, it was his constant—his favourite boast, that not one single breach of the peace took place during the whole time when the " mon ster meetings " were being held : and so far were his speeches from " breathing blood and vengeance,) that he asserted not once, but a hundred times, that no revolution was worth making that could only be made by the shedding of blood ! If our Contemporary must needs fall foul of O'CoNNELL, let it at least attack him fairly, and not charge him with errors that he has never committed, and never dreamed of com mitting. A letter from Athens of the 31st ult. announces that the COLETTI Cabinet was already divided, in con sequence of the exigencies of M.

The elec tions at Athens had not yet been resumed, and the convqcation of the Legislature was still indefinitely postponed. taking possession of the town of Suez, augmented by the concession of particular advantages in Egypt and Syria, has no kind of foundation." The expense§ ,of the expedition against Morocco, ascertained at the Ministries of War and Marine, amount already'to upwards of 20,000,000 f. On Monday morning orders were forwarded by telegraph from Paris to Rochefort, Cherbourg, Lo rient, Toulon, and Brest, to suspend ail the armaments proceeding in , those harbonrs. On the same day written instructions were forwarded to the Maritime Prefect, directing them to prepare for the reception of the ships of the squadron now on their way home. Two brigs and one corvette, however, are to be armed, and to sail for the coast of Africa, where they are to remain under the orders of Capt. RERNOUX, the com mander of the station. The Madrid mail of the 11th has arrived. The Carlists have carried the elections at Saragossa, Pam peluna, Zamora, Toledo, Seville, Segovia, Montoro, and several other places. At Salamanca they had the majority for the first two days, but a strong effort made by the Government defeated them at the moment of victory. At Placentia, the Carlists, who came to the poll under the leadership of the priests, were very near being triumphant; and in several other important towns they have come out with a strength and boldness which have taken the Govern ment 'quite by surprise. In all these struggles the priests are the active leaders. These successes had occasioned serious alarm to the Government. It was stated that an endeavour was to be made to con ciliate the Liberals by recalling M. CORDER° and his friends from their banishment in the Canary Isles. The Government, it seems, dreads some Carlist outbreak in Navarre, for a strong body of troops, under the command of General ViLLALONGA, who exterminated the Carlists at Maestrasgo, has been ordered into that province. There appears to be little doubt that these Carlist movements have been organised by the clergy, thus showing how useless have been the attempts of CIiIdSTIMA to conciliate them. It would appear that, if ever formed, the idea of a review of the National Guards of Paris by the KING at the end of the present month has been abandoned. The Republicans attribute the omission of the review to the failure of the news from Africa, the victory of Isly, and the bombardment of Tangiers and of Moga dore, to produce enthusiasm. The KING'S present intention is, we are told, to remove from Neuilly to St. Cloud on the 25th inst., and to proceed to Eu on or about the Ist of October, and leave Treport for England on the sth or 6th. The accounts from Algiers are of the 10th inst. Marshal BUGEAUD returned to that city on the sth, and was received by the authorities under a trium phal arch, adorned with the trophies taken at the battle of Isly. In the evening the Consuls of the different nations paid him a visit of congratulation. The Akhbar states, that after the dispersion of the Moorish forces, Marshal BUGEATID had resolved to conduct the main force of his army to Djemaa-Ghazaouat. On the Ist inst. six battalions of infantry reached that point, where they were to be joined, on the sth, by eight other battalions and the cavalry. A battalion remained at Lalla Maghrina for the guard of the camp, and. General BEDEAU had returned to Tlemcen with four others. The Tiempo calls on the Government to offer honours and the means of existence to the clergy, but to refuse them any political influence. When the Carlist party shall be firmly convinced that the con stitutional party is firm to its principles, and that it has no hope of the Government assistance and sup port in its plans, then certainly there will be no longer any fear of a repetition of the scenes of Na varre and Salamanca. The Globo does not call for persecution of the clergy, but points out the conduct of the priests, and particularly that of the Bishop of PALENCIA, as illegal and declares that the enemies of the Government organised their opposition to the Ministerial candi date in the episcopal palace. M. MARTINEZ DE LA RosA has not yet decided on accepting the portfolio of foreign affairs. The Moniteur Algerien publishes the following letter, addressed by King Louis PHILIPPE to Marshal BUGEAUD, on the occasion of his victory at Isly. The Marshal has arrived at Algiers, and was received by the authorities with great distinction : Letters from Cadiz of the 7th state, that the Prince DE JOINVILLE and the Duke DE GLUCKSBERG were still there ; and that the political chief had sus pended the publication of the journal El Defensor del Pueblo, and that the responsible editor had re ceived orders to quit the place. Madrid Bourse on the 11th.—Three per Cents., 27, for account ; Five per Cents., 19/ for cash, 20i for account ; Floating Debt of Treasury, 63 for cash, 64/ 45 days. We have received the Paris papers of, Tuesday. The peace between France and Morocco is the sub ject of commentary in all these journals; but as nei ther the. Prince DE JOINVILLE'S dispatches, nor the treaty itself have been made public, we are with out any information as to the details of the negotia tion. The Opposition journals repeat the expression of their dissatisfaction respecting the treaty of peace with Morocco, which they declare to be not only without profit to France, but absolutely disgraceful to her. The Debate, however, says that their anger is caused by the success of the Government in crowning a profitless and difficult war with an honourable peace. "Peace is signed with Morocco," says the Journal des Debate, "Our arms have made the Moorish Government yield more quickly than we ourselves - expected. It is evi dently to the vigour with which the war has been car ried on.that this result is due. Victorious France might assuredly, without the slightest dishonour, show herself generous towards a barbarian Govt lenient, and offer the same terms after her victory which she did previously. The Prince de Joinville's dispatch announces that the Moorish Govermient has itself demanded peace. It appears, therefore, that the most difficult ought to be satisfied. has the war been efficacious ? Yes ; for the Moorish Government has submitted. We have bombarded two of its towns, routed its cavalry ; it sur renders, and acknowledges itself vanquished. . It was by us the terms of peace were dictated, be they more or less severe. We know no more for the present. We m us t wait for the remainder of the Prince de Joinville's di.- patches. We are authorised, however, to declare that the war was carried on with success, and concluded an honourable peace. We have attained our object, the prestige of Morocco is destroyed in the mind of the Arab tribes, and the consolidation . of our dominion in Algeria has made an immense progress." The National, in allusion to the firing of the cannon at the Invalides, in honour of the treaty with Morocco, says " the Parisian public shrugged their shoulders with pity at hearing this warlike proclama tion of the heroes of peace at any price," and concludes a most violent article against the treaty in these words :—" It is endeavoured to lull us to sleep with the noise of our triumphs at Isly and Mogadore, which after all would not hare occupied more than a line in the annals of another period, and with our diplomatic successes, which are mere disgraceful de ceptions; and during this time the diplomacy of the Princes of Europe is far from being asleep. The Emperor NICHOLAS, M. BRUNNOW, M. NESSELRODE, and the British Ministers, are concluding serious conventions without the noise of cannon. A coalition is fo;med to which the French revolution is delivered up bound hand and foot. It is not surprising that M. GUIZOT should appear joyous and triumphant. Circumstances are propitious for the Minister of the foreigner." The Presse is the only paper not a supporter of the Government which approves of the peace. We %- tract from the Presse the following, relative to the proceedings of Mr. BULWER " When Mr. Bulwer had concluded the treaty relative to the dispute with Spain, Sidi-Bon-Sellam, the Pacha of El-Araich, prayed him to terminate immediately the affairs of France, declaring himself charged with full powers to regulate them. Mr. Bulwer replied that France wished to terminate alone and directly her differ ences with Morocco; he recommended the Moorish plenipotentiary to regulate as soon as possible the affair of France; and signified to him anew the neutrality of England as well in case of war as in case of peace." The French papers have published a letter from Mogadore, in which it is stated that the English Go vernment steamer Vesuvius, while passing Rabat and Mogadore, with the English flag flying, was twice fired at by the Moors. The Globe quotes this letter, in order to show the absurdity of the statement of the Opposition prints, that the Moorish batteries were partly manned by English gunners. The Journal des Debats has the following in re ference to an announcement of a morning Contem porary respecting an imaginary treaty ceding Suee to England. "An English journal, which is usually well informed on foreign affairs, has published a note which would seem to giie a certain consistency to reports which a slight examination would have shown to have little foundation. The Morning Herald has announced that a treaty, of which the origin might be traced back to 1840, was on the point of being concluded between England, and, we suppose, the Pacha of Egypt, by which Great Britain would obtain possession of the port of Suez, the free passage from that place to Alexandria, and other impor tant advantages in Egypt and Syria. This treaty, in which France was not to participate, was, it is said, to be guaranteed by Russia,:Austria, and Prussia. The Eng lish journal added, that it did not know by what intrigue France did not appear to participate in this convention, but that it had reason to believe that England had nothing to do with the exclusion. We are astonished that a journal so serious, and usually so reserved, could have so lightly given a piece of news of this nature. We do not believe in the existence of an intrigue, because we do not believe in the possibility of the treaty in question. If it be true that England is to conclude with the Pacha of Egypt, in other words with the Ottoman Porte, a treaty, the origin of which belonged to the events of 1840, it is clear that this treaty could only . have a character. altogether opposed to that which is at tributed to it. If we remember rightly, England in 1840, in concert with Austria, Russia, and Prussia, waged war in the Levant for the sole purpose of re-esta blishing and assuring the integrity of the Ottoman empire. She made war to prevent the Pacha of Egypt from raising his temporary principality into a sovereignty and independent State, to restore Syria to the suzerainty of the Porte, and, at the same time, prevent any European State froth establishing in Egypt an exclusive influence. It was on this basis, very clear, very formal, that the treaty of 1840, which France did not participate in, was concluded ; and the treaty of 1841, which defi ,,itit. ly r. pasted the• relations of the Porte with the Paella of Egypt, had no other object than to give to this state of things an unanimous confirmation. It is, there fore, quite impossible that England should at present think of aiming a blow at that integrity, the maintenance of which was the only motive of her policy in 1840 ; and we still less see how a convention of the nature Fpoken of could be connected with events which had a signification diametrically contrary. We are well con vinced that England has no more the project of conquest and extension of territory at the eastern extremity of Africa than we have at the other end ; and we think that we eau declare with certainty that this pretended " Neuilly, Aug. 29. " My dear Marshal—lt is with lively and profound emotion that I congratulate you on the brilliant exploits which you have just added to all those which have made our flag illustrious. The noble resolution that you took to fight the battle a Isly, with an army so dispropor tioned in number to that which you attacked, has pro duced in the minds of our brave soldiers the sensation which I experienced on learning it. I have felt that this appeal to French, soldiers, must have rendered them in vincible, and , they were, so. Be my organ, my dear Marshal, withthem. Tell them that it is in the name of France, as well as my own, that I ask you to offer to this brave array,, which you led so gloriously to victory, the expression of the national gratitude, and that of the admiration excited by its valour and devotedness. Re ceive, my dear Marshal, the assurance of all the senti ments which w ill ever be felt towards you by your affec tionate " LOUIS PHILIPPE."

London yesterday, the treaty for the cessation of hostilities between France and Morocco had been signed, the terms being the same in sub stance as those offered in the original ultimatum. This intelligence was brought from Gibraltar, in the Hecla steamer, by Colonel Barrie, of the British Le gation in Madrid. Before the Hecla left Gibraltar, a French warner had been dispatched to Mogadore to order the immediate evacuation of the island of which the French troops have been in possession since the bombardment ,of the town. The news transmitted by the French telegraph, and with respect to which some misgiving was felt, is thus entirely confirmed.— Times. - ------ - , THE GREAT WILL kiisz.—We hear that the cor n.

LEAMINGTON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 17.—Among the recent arrivals at this fashionable watering-place, which is now full of visitors, are the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Lady Vernon and family, the Earl of Ripon, - Mr. and Lady Cnarlotte Chetwynd, Sir Thomas and Lady Sheppard, Hon. Colonel and Lady Georgina Cathcart, Sir C. W. Codrington, Bart., M.P., Dowager Lady Ridley, Lady Vere Cameron, Lady Dalzell, Lord Lindsay, Hon. William Petre, General Sir H.

Mrs. Hook, whose death took place after an illness of only a few hours, was sister of the late Sir Robert Farquhar, Bart., and had resided for many years at Leamington, respect and esteem of a large circle of acquaintance. where she enjoyed the OF THE STRUCTURE AT KING'S-CROSS. — For some time past, in consequence of many accidents which have resulted from that certainly not very orna mental structure at the end of Gray's Inn-road and the New-road, St. Pancras, known as the King's Cross, the vestry of St. Pancras have had in contemplation its re moval. To add to the danger re s ulting from the erec tion of such a structure in the centre of a spot where no fewer than half a dozen roads meet, and where so much traffic exists, the Cross, in addition to its conversion into a beer-shop, has recently had its upper apartment converted into an exhibition of camera obscura. This causes a large number of persons to assemble, and great obstruction is the result. The Inhabitants residing in the immediate vicinity of King's-cross, as also most of the Paddington and other omnibus proprietors, have re cently presented a memorial to the vestry upon the sub ject, and a committee have been appointed with a view to effect the entire removal of the structure. To this, however, it is expected considerable opposition will be made on the part of the present holder of the premises, as it is stated he possesses a lease from the party to whom the site was originally granted by the parish, and that hating once giv e n suc h s it e , the parish have no power to take it away aga i n. T h e comm itt ee o f the vestry have not y e t reporte d , b ut i t i s un d ers tood that in the event of their recommending the removal of the Cross, the vestry are determined to carry out the demo lition of the structure forthwith. BALLOON ASCENT AT BROMLEY, KENT.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Hampton, the intrepid aeronaut, ascended from the gardens of the White Hart Inn, Bromley. It being the first balloon ascent that has been made in this tomn. the inhabitants manifested consider able interest in the aeronautic exhibition. At half-past five o'clock the monster balloon ascended most ma jestically, and afforded the highly respectable spectators great delight and satisfaction. Mr. Wells, who is en thusiastically fond of ballooning, again accompanied Mr. Hampton. The aeronauts, after a pleasant and expe ditious journey, descended safely on Purley Down, a few miles from Croydon. After packing the balloon, Mr. Hampton and Mr. Wells dined with George Smith, Esq., at Selsdon, and were treated with the greatest kindness and hospitality by that gentleman. There are two things worthy of remark in this ascent. The first is, that a balloon of very large dimensions was filled at Mr. M. H u t c hi son, brother to the celebrated engineerßmr l Br o mley b y of Vauxhall. It frequently happens that bal loons get but an imperfect supply of gas in many large towns ; great praise, therefore, is due to Mr. Hutchison for having attempted a n d com pleted the inflation. The sec )nd fact to be mentional is, that the balloon travelled ten miles in ten minutes, there being a fresh north- ratterly wind. The balloon, however, was secured with ease, owing to Mr. Hampton's improvements. Mr. J. C. Belaney is said to be now on a visit in the family of a gentleman at Cleadon, near South Shields.—Tyne Mercury. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The letters and pipers' this morning delivered from the West Indies were barren of news of general importance. A communication re mived from Halifax states : "There has been much talk during the week of the intention on the part of the Government to run the Royal Mail steam- ships direct to Boston, instead of via Hali fax. We can find no sufficient grounds for the ru mour, but it has been considered of so much importance that a petition to the Government has been got up, unanimously signed, and transmitted through the proper channel,; deprecating any alteration in the route, as pre judicial, not only to the speedy and safe conveyance of the mails, but injurious to provincial interests, to make a foreign port a depot for the reception of the British mails for all the British North American provinces. There is no doubt that,- by present arrangements, the mails arrive at every province as quick as they would were the steamers to run direct to Boston or New York, and we feel ersuaded that it will be better to bear with a trif ling inconvenience, if any such ham - ens, at times, and which will disappear as the system becomes more complete, than to depend upon the captiousness of the United States and the good faith of its mercurial population, for the latest in formation and advices upon affairs, political or mercan tile. All the lower provinces, including Newfoundland, would be injured by the change, and the benefit to the Canadas, the only valid- excuse that can be imagined, short of a desire to pander to the interests of the United States at the expense of those of the colonies, would not be problematical indeed. A little sympathy on the frontier would soon prove to the Canadians the folly of jeopardising their English intelligence,:and we would not give much for the integrity of the official papers, in the event Of any serious question pending between the two Governments, all of which would be Grahaniised ere they reached the boundary line. In short, the evils that would attend the change, resent or prospective, are so great th a t th e r u m our goes f or naught in our estimation, and we class it amongst those desirable accomplishments which, so far as our neighbour Jona than is concerned, he would like to attain, but which it is easier to talk about than to execute. "Since writing the above, we learn that a proposition has been made to the American Government, and ac ceded to by Congress, to allow the Canadian mails to traverse the American territory to their destination, without having to go through the American post-office. This arrangement, though it would supersede the em ployment of a steamer between Pictou and Quebec, and probably prevent the improvement of the land communi cation between the provinces, does not involve an altera tion in the communication with the mother canntry. The injury would be felt in a lesser degree." The Bank of England meeting has gone off satisfac torily, and the rest is stated to be kept up. The Funds have been quiet, but firm, this morning. Consols for immediate transfer realise 991 and for time 994 Exchequer Bills are 765. premium. The Commissisners' purchases ;are continued daily, but do not attract much attention, being small.

The inquiry for Railway Shares is moderate, and prices are generally sustained. There is, however, less buoyancy in the general market than there was last week, for, whereas the old lines:may be supposed to have reached their maximum value, the new ones have an opening for the gradual attainment of high rates.

DIABOLICAL ATTEAIPT.--About three o'clock on Friday morning a most diabolical attempt was made to destroy either life or property, or both, at the residence of the Rev. G. T. Mostyn, minister of St. Michael's Daisy Field, Blackburn. It appears that a con siderable quantity of gunpowder was introduced into the lock, an d through crevices in the door ; the train w as partially fired, but not succeeding, it was again tried, happily without the demoniac result which the wretches evidently conte niplated. It is hardly possible to conceive the motive which could have dictated such a cowardly and ruffianly attempt at slaughter. Mr. Mostyn is, comparatively, a stranger among us ; enemies he has none to his knowledge, and what can have induced an attempt of this kind, which would disgrace even the savage barbarian, is utterly mysterious awl vuiaccouutable,-131tichburn Mercury. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND liutitt eptitton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Sunday evening their Majesties, tbo Kitag and Queen of the French, received the Minister for Foreign Affairs and General de Saint Yon. The Bavarian and Danish Ministers had yesterday audiences of the King, to deliver to his Majesty letters from their respective Sovereigns, in answer to the noti fications of the birth of the Duke d'Alencon. A similar letter from the Queen of Spain has been transmitted to the King, through the Spanish Chargé d'Affaires, is the absence of the Ambassador. Admiral Lasusse, who arrived at Havre on Sunday, took his departure thence on Monday, for Cherbourg, in the Government steamer Caiman. The Patrie mentions a rumour that the King and Queen of Naples will visit Paris towards the end of Oc tober or the beginning of November. Captain Aufray, of the Spahis, has died at Lalla- Maghrin of 'the wounds which he received at the battle of Isly. M. Camille Perier, Peer of France, fell a victim on Saturday, at Paris, to a long and painful malady, at the age of sixty-three. lie was auditor in the Council of State under the Republic, and Prefect for some years under the Restoration, but, being dismissed from this latter situation, he took his place as a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. In 1830, he was one of the first deputies in Paris who protested against the violation of engagements by the Crown, and he gave his support to the new Government. During his brother's Ministry, he afforded him all the assistance in his power. He was called to the Chamber of Peers in 1837. A large number of distinguished persons went on Monday to Neuilly to offer the King their congratula tions on the conclusion of the peace with Morocco. A Naples letter of the 6th inst. speaks of the marriage of the Duke d'Aumale with his first cousin, the Princess of Salerno, as fixed for the second week of next month. Great preparations were in progress for the celebration of the marriage with pomp and circumstance. The Duke de Bordeaux arrived at Venice on the 23d ult., and put up at the Hotel Danieli, on the quay of the Sclavonians. Sea bathing has been recommended to him, and he appears to excel in the (irt of swimming, having several times swum, without resting, from the Mole to the Lido, a distance of three miles. The Prince is accompanied by the Duke de Levis and M. de Monty lieze. The persons summoned to attend the legiti matist congress were nearly all at their post. Messrs. lllyde de Neuville, La Tour Foissac, Hautpoult and St. Priest, had already arrived at Venice. Messrs. Aurelien de Seze and St. Marc, members of the bar at Bordeaux, were also expected. Marshal Sebastiani was at Milan watching the legitimatist movement. The Augsburg Gazette announces that a divorce has been decreed between Prince Gustavus Vasa and the Princess Louisa Amelia Stephania of Baden, and that the judgment has been confirmed by the Grand Duke. Thus the parties are relieved from the bonds of matri mony, and each may contract a new alliance. They were married on the 9th November, 1830. Letters from /Zons represent the state of the public mind in the Roman States as very unsettled. A Vienna letter, bearing date the 9th instant, says:— " The Government has given permission to a company to establish a central railroad in Hungary. It is hoped that the Government will guarantee the payment of 3 per cent. interest. A capital of 18 millions will be ne cessary to execute this line, and of this sum eight mil lions have already been obtained by subscription, and three by the intervention of Baron de Rothschild, so that only seven remai❑ to be raised. The concession is made for eighty years. Several branch lines have also been authorised. The works will be executed simultaneously between Pesth and Vienna, and Pesth and Debreczen." The Berlin journals state that the grand line of rail road between Berlin and Kcenisburgh is decided upon, and that it is to run by Kustrem, Landsberg, Driesen, and the other towns towards the Vistula. From Drie sen, it is said, there are to be two branches, one to Posen and to Stargardt, in Pomerania, in order to unite these two towns with Stettin. In this case, the distance between Berlin and Posen may be performed in nine or ten hours, and between Berlin and Stettin in seven or eight hours. The surveys of the railroad be• tween Posen and Glogan are very nearly finished. LAW AND POLICZ. At the Court of Bankruptcy. James Croft, who had been in custody, but had been released on an interim order, perceiving that the Court was about to dismiss his petition, walked quietly out of Court ; and when ap plication was made to remand him. he could no where be found. The case of the Hon. Mr. Touchet was postponed at the Central Criminal Court until the ensuing sessions. Edwin and William Hartledge, brothers, were brought before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House, charged with robbery in the house of Mr. Sarl, jeweller, of the Poultry and Cornhill. The prisoners were both com mitted for trial, and bills were ordered to be laid before the Grand Jury at once, so that in all probability a very few hours will intervene between their committal and their trial. Three men, of the names of William Hawthorn, Frederick Cornwall, and Henry Baldwin, habited in countrywcu'n garb, and one of them navlo g but one eye, were charged at Bow-street, as having escaped from the gaol at St. Alban's. They were arrested by Sergeants Parker and Thornton, and having acknowledged they were the persons, they were sent to St. Alban's in custody. At Clerkenwell, on Tuesday, police-constable John Grey, 157 E, was charged by the Rev. Mr. Kelly, Rector of Stilongan, in the county of Dublin, with aiding, incit ing, and abetting an apprentice to run away from him ; also with using abusive and insulting language towards Caroline George, a servant to the Rev. Gentleman, who now resides at 18, Regent•square. He wns convicted, and as the conviction will ensure his dismissal from the force, he was only fined 11. James Riley was brought up on remand, charged with being concerned, with another man not in custody, with robbing a young man from Dover of 101. The com plainant had been inveigled into the Barn Jam public house, and robbed ; and, as some suspicion attached to the conduct of the landlord, he was directed to enter into recognizances to appear on Tuesday, to which the prisoner was remanded. George Alexander, charged with feloniously and ma liciously stabbing Mr. George Tomlinson, the chief mate of the ship Sultana, from Sydney, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm, was committed for trial at the Maidstone Assizes, from the Thames-office. A policeman named Speary, No. 153 K, who wrong fully took a man into custody, and was reprimanded by Mr. Broderip for so doing, on Tuesday afternoon, was formally dismissed the force by the Commissioners. COITSZ-741.81xxoNanZoB. The Prince and Princess Radzivill left town on Wed nesday for Badminton, on a visit to their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort. Twelve splendid horses purchased in this country by Prince Radzivill for his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, were shipped on Saturday last for St. Petersburgh. The Duke and Duchess of Somerset came to town on Tuesday for a short interval, and returned the same even ing to Wimbledon Park. Their Graces entertained a select party at Wimbledon on Wednesday evening. The Earl and Countess of Wilton, who have been cruising off the French coast, returned to the Isle of Wight on Sunday. The Noble Earl and Countess landed at Cherbourg last week. Lady Elizabeth Hope Vere returns to town on Friday. The marriage of her Ladyship's daughter, Miss Jane Hope Vere, with Viscount Loftus, son of the Marquis of Ely, is not expected to take place until the first week in October. His Excellency Baron Brunnow entertained a select circle at dinner on Wednesday, which included Coma Nesselrode, Count Dmitry Nesselrode, the Baroness Seebach, M. Hebeler (Prussian Consul-General), M. de Maltzoff, Admiral Pootiatin, M. de Berg, M. de Koudri affsky, M. Gregoire de Koudriaffsky, &c. Count Nesselrode left town yesterday, accompanied by his son, Count Dmitry Nesselrode, and the Baroness Seebach, his daughter, for Woburn Abbey, on a visit to his Grace the Duke of Bedford. The Count, after visiting Stowe and Chatsworth, will make a short tour in Scotland, returning by the lakes, and finally leave England on the 4th of next month. ASISCRILLIII.NNOITS. A number of the principal rate-payers in Oldham and the adjacent townships are taking measures with a view to the introduction of the new Poor-law, whilst a con siderable body of the middle and working classes are strongly opposed to the change. It is reported that the late irregularities in the administration of the parochial affairs of Oldham, and the recent mismanagement in the conducting of Middleton workhouse have produced the present proceedings. Mr. O'Connell, it is said, starts for Derrynane shortly after the martyrs' feast, on Thursday next. The bea gles, it is added, are in training for the "Liberator's" return to his mountain home. On his arrival in Dublin, in November, he promises to attend another feast, to be given in his honour in Meath. On Saturday, the 31st ultimo, as the Lord Lovat coach, from Peterhead to Banff, was changing horses about ten miles from the latter place, the fresh horses which had just been put to, from some unknown cause, were startled, and set off at full speed, without guard or coachman. Mr. Macduie, perfumer, Banff; who was an outside passenger, unfortunately leaped from the top, and although he alighted upon his feet, fell back from the recoil before one of the hind wheels, which passed over his chest, and caused death in a few minutes. A Government agent has visited Sunderland, and sur veyed and approved the site selected by the Public Walks Committee as a recreation ground for the inhabitants. On Friday, Messrs. Chappell and Marsden, of Cannon street, Manchester (through their agent, Mr. Slack), made an advance of ten per cent. in the prices paid to the handloom weavers in their employment in Wigan and the neighbourhood. We hope, for the sake of so industrious a class as the weavers are universally admitted to be, that this example will be followed by a general advance throughout the trade. Last week one of the Assistant Poor-law Commis sioners visited Rochdale, for the purpose (as it is re ported) of shortly ating the New Peor-law into force in that borough. There appears to be great opposition to it at present. The most active exertions have been made during these few days to discover the delinquents in the late Bank forgery and robbery case, and it having been ascer tained that they have proceeded to the United States, J. and D. Forester, the active police-officers, will be sent i mme diately to America, to apply to the authorities there for the necessary powers, under the late Act of Conven tion, to ,apprehend the guilty parties.

Her Majesty continues in the enjoyment of excel' lent health and spirits, and her complexion has already begun to glow under the rude hand of health, whos e established dwelling-place is in the hills and glens of , Scotland. Her Majesty left the shore s o f Englan d like a second Galatea—but constant exposure to the weather and the fresh air, which streams through "t he land of mountain and of flood," have substituted healthful ruddiness, for the pale cast of thought with which her Majesty's countenance has been sicklied over since her recent confinement. Prince Albertaod the Princess Royal also begin to show the benefice effects of their residence here. The Princes's Reia l t mounted on a Shetland pony, and attended bya gro° lll and servant, always accompanies her Majesty and the Prince in their morning walk through the ground° , and the royal parents are frequently seen to stop ow l listen with alternations of interest and amusement to the nails observations of the youthful Princess on the novelty of the objects which meet her view at eterl instant. His Royal Highness Prince Albert left the Castl e shortly after luncheon, and proceeded to the hills iv" mediately in the front of the Castle, to have 500 grouse shooting. His Royal Highness was scow panied by his noble host, who merely went with th e Prince to point out the most probable places for fin d ' ing the game. The Prince had some excellent se t ' considering the short period which he remained of the hill. His Royal Highness shot eight brace , grouse, a snipe, and a golden plover, and retureoll to the Castle shortly after three, to accompany h er Majesty in her drive. Lord Liverpool, who war grouse shooting in a different part of the hill - s ide ' shot six brace of grouse during the course of t he afternoon. Lord Glenlyon did not shoot, ani r e y spectfully declined the courteous entreaties of l royal guest to partake of the sport. During t he morning Lord Charles Wellesley, Sir E. Bowater, and-the. Hon. Mr. Anson, mounted on shooi . ng scampered up the hill at the back of the Castle, a° enjoyed the fine view and extensive prospect, th e , clearness of the attnoephere rendering every oljee" in the distance distinctly visible. At half-past three in the afternoon, her Majest, and the Prince left the Castle in a pony phaeton W it ' outriders to inspect the falls of Bruer, which ar e about three miles distant from Blair Athol, on t he high road to Inverness. Lord Glenlyon and Loll Charles Wellesley, the chieftain being as usn i e attired in the Highland costume, rode on either s lue of the phaeton. On arriving at the cottage of 110 antique Highland Naid, the presiding deity, or, rather, demon of these falls, her Majesty aligh ted, and ascended the gravel walk leaning on the arm Prince Albert, the beauties of the fall being pointedk out by the noble cicerone. Her Majesty was with the beauty of the scene, and declared that e; succeeding object which met her view surpassed 1 ,, predecessor in beauty and interest. The falls we'; seen to great advantage, and the roaring of the wate fo r through the craggy moss-grown chasm 'w, considerably increased by the heavy min, which had fallen during the preceding Qn / J in ascending some of the steeper acelivitier which lead to the topmost portion of the falls, h e , struck Majesty entered her garden chair, which was drawn by two servants in plain liveries, and had bee n previously sent on foot for the use of her Majesti; The effect arising from the wild grandeur of tn t, scene at these falls is, however, to a certain elt er ik marred by the neatly, well-rolled gravel w s to which was along the side of the chasm, giving is nature a starched, prim appearance, and making this beautiful waterfall appear rather like trim gar The where retired leisure might take its pleasure. .1 to trees which were planted on the banks by the Is a Duke of Athol, in compliance with Burns', coebratet, poetical petition, in some degree had this de ly which, however, it must be acknowledged, materially affects the comforts l of visitors, and makes much m` ,re the ascensus and descensus of tourists. The royal party did not return to the Castle unt : ii : late hour. Covers are laid for sixteen in the ete,n, lll. The dinner party consists of L or d an d Lady lyon, Miss Murray, Oswald of Dunnikier, and Sin ,% Kier of Kindroggan, the officers of her Majest,or guard of Athol Highlanders, with the member s her Majesty's suite. the ° Lady Glenlyon drove up the Glen Tilt during f afternoon, to make some addition in the furnitu re ilt the forester's lodge, which is situated about eit! ke miles up the glen, in case Prince Albert mig ht .. f Est shelter there during his shooting excursions. ;or numbers of the "bothies"—the sniall stone huts _ O , concealing the deerstalkers from their antlered banks pr e) —are being built up and repaired aloe the . ars the burn, called the " Water of Tilt, t , hreugh the ruck. at the bottom of this r a i g n ,.;„ :11 glen. His Royal Highness and Lord Glenlyon take their station in one of these " bothies," an" b a shot at the herd as they descend from their rocici acclivities on the precipitous summits of the adjoini whiehleeent mountains. "The wild herd which never nee ds fold" always ascend the hills to cool themselves durios the heat of the day, and come down to slake theeit. thirst in the burns and mountain-springs at atin: be Myriads of them may be seen at nightfall i n t na he valley of Glen Tilt, eating the sweet grass drinking the crystal stream, but at the appraach 0 t , human being they scamper off to their rock} 615 5 1 nesses.
