R, PRESENTATION OF CAMBRIDGE. COMMITTAL FOR CORRUPT BRIBERY.-Our readers are aware that the Tories have been detected in their corrupt course, and that a Mr. Long was arrested last Friday evenieo on a warrant charging him with bribing an elector warne d George Smith, to vote for Mr. Manners Sutton the Conservative candidate for Cambridge. On Saturday Long was brought up for examination before the Magis trates at Guildhall. The Mayor presided on the bench. The principal evidence adduced was as follows : G,..orge Smith being sworn, said—l reside in Hobson street ; my name is on the register, and I have voted at teei or three former elections for Mr. Rice arid Mr. Pryme. I know Mr. Long, who I believe works for Messrs. Swann. The ai:ness, after stating that Mr. Long had called on hiat severel Cm's, and ordered shoes, proceeded to state that a few days back Mr. Long made a proposition to him cc' • ,t'n ng the election . Mr. Long then said if I thought well to vote for Mr. Sutton, he could make it worth my while, by putting a few pounds into my pocket. The witness said he called at Mr. Lorg's afterwards con e, r ,ing sines. Upon tbat occasion Mr. Long said, "If I would vote for Mr. Marine sSu ton would put ten pot n !socket." He asked what the shoes would he? I said Mr . Loig s would he 7a. 6J., and his about 12s. 63. tie eant that would be about a sovereign, and he would g ye me nine sovereigns then, and when I took the shoes home be would give m. aroth rto make ten. I said it was a very pretty price for two pairs of shoes, and I said I should like alt t of customers like it. Mr. Long said it die n t signly to the poor man which way he voted—the mom - y would be more benefit than ;le I said "V , ry well Mr. Long, 3ou shall hear from me " He said he coull pay the money then, but he would not. My wife could go at any of his meal times and receive the money, *act I should know nothing about it, and then it could not be le;t,ety ; anal as to bribery, it was all a parcel of non sense. I sa.d Very well. I again had some wine, and then went away. Charlotte Smith, the wife of the last witness, was then called, and deposed as follows : —I went to Mr. Long's boo eon Wednesday last. Mr. Long put out a glass of Win, and I took some. HQ said, You have come to me f , ,r sea e money, and I said Yes; my husband directed me to de so lie s ,id You know whet it is for ? I re ) d Why, mvihusband tell me it was something about the, s.eeetion. lie said, Yes. He then put his hand into les pock,:t and pulled cut therefrom nine sovereigns, and told me to take them to my husband, they would be of mu: e use to him than his vote, which was of no consequence to e poor man. II laid the sovereigns on a book end 1 took 1.1:t ru up. He said he should probably be able to put another pound or two in my way during the week, Red et a future time a great deal more. He said tour hest and knows cothing about it. I said No—he is gone to ston. He said, Taat's a'l right. When my husband cerne come at night I told him w hat had taken place ; I yet the money into a drawer, awl my husband did not see it till next day, when he marked it. I know Mr. W. Swann and 3, 1 r. Sutton. I did not see them on Wednesday at cry house. George Smith re.c a ll e d—l di recte d my w if e to go to Lung' s , hz.v:ng to receive some money, as stated by ter, and I received nine sovereigns from him, which I marked, riad delivered to Mr. Francis Eaden. Crass -examined by Mr. LAWRENCE-Has lived in Cam bridge 13 years last May. This was the first time in his hfe that he had had anything off_led to him in the shape of brace for his vote, and he hoped it would be the last. That ips would solemnly swear to. He had no offer whatever from any party, or individual of any party. Told Mr. F. F >den w hat Long had said to him. Communicated with im iirectly. When Long first made the offer, went to Mr. Eaden directly. Took very little time to consult his own feelings. " I told him," said the witness, emphatically, that if any nasty off:red me a bribe, I would do my utmost tc briug it to light." Did not tell Long anything about his horror of bribery. Kept all his horror to himse!f. Did not tl:aw him on. " But if a man chcse to put his head into a nrose, and then kick and draw it tighter, it was not his fault." He marked the sovereigns with a fire. Was to receive no money for appearing in this matter, nor no re. vr:rd of any kind. Had no effer of the sort. Was to re . critic nothing. His com'ng forward was purely patriotic. Would repeat his answer_ he was to receive no reward v. - hatert r, but had no doubt he should get plenty of con t•nre ; that, however, he did not care a rush for. Had n , t ta ked to anybody about not being prosecutor. Heard lit n. ht Mr. IL Fu ter was to be prosecuted. Deli. tae 'nee sovereigns to Mr. Francis Eaden yesterday scorning. Mr. F. Eaden here produced the nine save n I the it less sr ore they were the same he re ceived from his wite. There were four marks on every so- I vcreign. Mr. L A WRENCE, for the prisoner, said he was sure the Bench would look with extreme jealousy on a case like this, a here a respectab'e man was charged r n the evidence of a m,n and his wife, corroborated in no material point, I and wi hout the possibility of bringin g forward evid e n ce to rebut it. If, h owever , t h e Bench had no doubt on their mirvis. in the present stage of the p: of eedings, he felt confident he should be able to d ,Fr se the state nit,o,s la another place. But when it was considered that ties prosecution was got up entirely for party pur_ roses, he was sure they would look at it with Viet jt a', u y t deserved. The prisoner surrendered like an honest n an, unconscious of wrong ; and thus upon the unsupported evidence of the horror-stricken individual ► this man is to be convicted. It was most extraordinary that t;“s man, who ought to have been the prosecutor, kne t ot ;ng about prosnu ion until ClEll lly told. cout.nded, therefore, that there was no legal evidence to cause them to commit the prisoner; it was impossible , for Urn, from the na ure of the transaction, to call wit j ocasci, Us CliCtlt olity being parCceps crimisais, could not corcz torn ard, and he should decline at present calling vvi , ness ,, s as to character, but leave the matter as it now stood in the hands of the Magistrates. The Rigistrates then retired, and after the lapse of about ten minutes returned, when The MIYOR said they had determined to commit the prisoner to take his trial at the next Assizes for wilful and corrupt bribery. Oa thy' ;:pplication of Mr. Lawrence, the Magistrates admitted thL! prisoner to bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 2501. each.—[Subsequently, we • understood, Cptt Mr. Swann and Mr. M. fleadly offered 40 become al, and were accepted. Mr. Favell was applied to, but declined.] The same sureties were also bound over in the same ;mount for the prisoner to appear on another charge, on Monday next, preferred by Mr. Marsh, watchmaker, Fitz toy-street. The ease has caused a great sensation in the town. Sir John M. Doyle has retired from the contest. BURNING of the SAMSON STEAM TUG-BOAT AT GRAVESEND. Yesterday a tu g -boat of forty-horse power, belo ng i ng to the Tham es Steam-boat Towing Company, and called the Samson, was almost totally destroyed by fire, which broke nut whilst the vessel was anchored ofl the Rosherville Pier, at Gravesend, after having taken down a large number of passengers in the morning. The fire was first discovered by some of the stokers or fire men on board, who, on going down to the engine -room for the purpose of making the necessary preparations previous to the return of the boat to town with pas sengers, perceived a peculiarly offensive smell, which excited their alarm. They immediately commenced a search, and on coming upon deck discovered that the part of the deck above the boiler was in flames, which burst forth with uncontrollable fury on the admission of air. The wind being in a southerly direction, the whole of the after-deck was to a few moments completely enveloped in flames, which, owing to the inflammalli nature of the material which they encountered, sT read with amazing rapidity. Not a moment was lost in taking such measures as appeared best calcu lated to subdue the conflagration ; but there being no buckets at hand, the captain's cabin, with the whole of its contents (including the passage-money which had been received during the voyage down), was completely consumed. The alarm which pre vaiLd throughout the town of Gravesend, as the intelligence of the conflagration spread, was most intense, and in less than a quarter of an hour from the time the fire broke out thousands of inhabitants and visitors were rushing to the scene. From the distance, however, a t which the vessel lay from the shore it Wai impossible to render any aid in the way of rescuing any of the property ; but the engineers and crew ofa steam boat, celled the William Gunston,belonging to the Shipowners' Towing Company, and commanded by a bray intelligent, and active man (Capt. Murray), which vv....s rimer d a short d stance off, lost no time in hasten• in; to ihe rescue and assistance of their less fortunate snip m tee. With this assistance Captain Pickering (a st. a ly and able seaman), the commander of the Samson, as.d crew were enabled to bring the burning vessel nea:Cr to the shore, where a number of holes having been F o cu in the sides and bottom, she soon after sunk. Pre i ,us to seuttli ;g, it was beyond human possibility co :ure:t the progress of the flame!, red if th:s extreme T v ea , ar, had not been c a rri e d int o effect, the whole of vessel must hav e b een b urne d to th e ve ry water' s eg g °. Had this calamitous occurrence taken place 64. r; -lg. the voyage, there is no calculating disanrous results might what state of the decks, with a the ensued. The crowded cilibiror, and the sudd large number of females and h ;1'.3 rendered the lio:hseofif:n. suddenness of the catastrophe, must, e immense. number of lives lm-st iucvitable. n.,ted coLsequenee of some understood to has e origt pLiced on tbmeetoold ropes and chips, whiala had been of . the boiler for the purpose of 'icing dried, having ignited. There • no b!aure' attached to the Captain or any of the crew, as it a i ; quite a common occurrence, although daogerous one, and one which should in future be avoided, to place wet materials on the boiler for the purpose d r ying t hem. Too mu c h p ra i se cannot be given t o (;,plain Murray and his crew, who belon g to a rival 1.11 , y Co;;;, fur the prompt and efficient serv i ces whieh . • they • rccdered on the occasian. This is, we beli eve, a,e third case ofsteam-boat burning which has occturred ,!urin, , -; the past week. Fl RE AND Loss of LlFE.—This morning b tween two and three o'clock, a most awful destruction of life and property took place in the house, No. 59, London stre, t, Fitzroy-square. The flames spread so rapidly that in less than a quarter of an hour the rooms of every floor in tie house %sere on fire. The fire escape from the Society's station was brought immediately on the men receiving the infcrmat ion of the calamity, but it appeared that the inmates had, the exception cf Mrs. Merrick, who, we regret to_ sly, has f a ll en a victim, escaped to neighbouring houses. By totlf-past two, the Faningdon-4treet, together with the Weit of England and many other enginea , had been got to xorl:, but notwithstanding the rained, the film:tare, building,°good apply of water ob • firemen arc actively &c., were aestroyed. The engaged cooling the ruins, t) enable them to find the remains of the unfortunate sufferer. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar, in Mincing Lane, and comparing the same against that of foreign sugars sold in the same market:— London, August 31, 1839. The Gazette of last night quotes the average Per Cwt. price of British Plantation Muscovado Su gar, exclusive of duty, at t n s The on actual account quantity e importers,sol d i n t on the week ek which the endingab above price 27 t h i is computed, consisted, according to the brokers' estate ments, of 1,336 hhds. 97 trcs. and 26 barrels, and not of 1,700 hhds., as estimated in the market. Our comparative statement of prices remain the same this, as in last week. The deliveries of West India sugar from the bonded warehouses of this port were— Hhds. From the Ist Jan. to the end d o i f tto 4 Aug. 7 84 : 4 16 4 5 5 From ditto From ditto ditto 1839... 60,177 In 1839, 24,268 hhds. less have been delivered than in 1837 ; and 13,988 hhds. less than in 1838. The deficiency in the delivery of 1839 hes accrued since the /st of May. At the end of Aug. 1837, the stock was 21,621 Ditto 1838 ditto 36,111 Ditto 1839 ditto 34,330 The stock of Mauritius sugars exceeds now that of last year by 26,534 bags; and of East India sugar 31,941 bags. We are happy to have it in our power to announce that the arrangements made by the Board of Trade, permitting ferrign sugars to be refined in this country for exportation, arc progressing with much success: there are already five refineries in London, besides many at the outports, ex tively engaged ill this trade, and rumour states that other sugar houses are being prepared for this description of work. The number of hands actually employed in these refineries is considerable ; but these are not near so nume rous as those engaged in the trades which are subsidiary to the refineries. It is computed that for each pan kept at work throughout the year not less than a sum of 4,0001. is expended amongst the following parties, namely, the coal merchant, the copper smith, the iron founder, the cooper, the mould and pot maker, the plumber, the car penter, the paper maker, the carman, the 'letterman, and various others, a disbursement which, while it materially assists some of these trades, and entirely keeps others at work, has breathed a spirit of activity throughout the Tower Hamlets ; and let it be borne in mind that this branch of business is entirely maintained by foreign customers, who, in the price they pay for the refined sugar, reimburse our manufacturers the costs alluded to above—and which, besides aiding the working classes in the vicinity of the refineries, confers on this nation important commercial ad vantages, for the foreign raw sugar brought here for the purpose of being refined is, generally speaking, the return cargo for the manufactures of this country ; that is to say, the sugar is given in payment for Manchester, Birming ham, and other goods made by British industry. The larg, r, therefore, the quantity of foreign sugar imported, the larger the quantity of British manufactures exported in exchange for it. Thus the industrious classes not only derive the benefit arising from refining the sugar here, but they d. rive profitable employment in manufacturing the articles which are shipped in payment for the raw sugar. Moreover, Great Britain acquires the advantage of draw. ing against foreign nations for the amount of the sugar re-exported in a refined state, which tends to alleviate, as tar as it goes, the demand for gold occasioned by the ex isting Corn-laws. The refiners compute that in the first y ear of their operations they will . manufacture and export about 25,000 tons, and that in the second year that weight will be extended to 40,000; taking, however, the smaller weight, 25,000 tons, and each ton to be worth 30/ , we find that this country will be privileged to draw bills for 750,00e1 against foreign nations. In esti mating the value of these transactions, we must riot omit to mention the freight, which, to a maritime country like ours, is surely of extreme importance The number of ships of 300 tons Lurthen—required for the conveyance of 25,000 tons of sugar to, and from our ports, will be one hundred and sixty-six—taking into consideration the length of voyage most of them have to traverse, these 166 ships will be fully engaged six months, consequently there will, supposing the retinieg trade not to increase their work beyond 25,000 tons, which they surely will do, be per manent employment for eighty. three ships of 300 tons each —an increase to the shipping trade which will doubtless be highly prized by that interest. As samples of the refined produce of the Foreign Sugars may be daily seen in most of the Refined Sugar Brokers' sale rooms, the people at large, by comparing the same against the refined produce of the West ladia Sugar, will gradually, but practically, become alive to the truth, which we have repeatedly set before them in a tabular form, namely, that 20s. per cwt. are paid by first hands, which, allowing for the costs of distribution in fair profit to the retailer, becomes 3d. per pound to the consumer more for British Plantation Sugar than it is actually worth ; and they will also perceive that this indirect taxation of 3d, per lb., which amounts precisely to the duty levied on Sugar for the public service, is extracted from their pockets, for the sake of favouring West india interests.

THE AMATEUR SCULLER'S MATCH. SATURDAY. This match, which had been expected to show off the beauty of the Scullers' Club, and exhibit a vast number of fine boats, almost in procession, turned out an absolute infliction, not through any want of arrangement on the part of the gentlemen belonging to this great club, but simply because the weather was the very reverse of that calculated for such a display, and the wind being so exceedingly high as to do away with the chance of anything like an aquatic pageant. The rain des cended in torrents during the afternoon, and the wager wher ries of those gentlemen who did come to the stations were closely covered in to prevent their being swamped. Under anything like more fortunate auspices, twelve or fourteen gen tlemen might have been expected to have showed, but, as it was, six only entered the lists for a Silver Cup. The distance was from Vauxhall to Putney with tide, and at five o'clock the gentlemen took their stations, " coolly enough," as any body may imagine. 'They made a pretty start, and Mr. Julius, a gentleman who some years ago held the silver sculls, took the lead, closely followed by Mr. Layton, Mr. Nicholson, and Mr. Pollock. Mr. Julius had the best of it until nearing the Spread Eagle, whe n Mr. Pollock, in the most admirable style, rowed by him, and t took the advance. Mr. Nicholson laid out his strength at gentlemen _h_e r same time, and it was evident that he was fast overhauling Thames Bank, and went in - the wake of Mr. Pollock.

We cannot for a moment believe that the Liberal Member for Lambeth, or any other that assisted in framing the Bill, could contemplate such an act of tyranny towards th o s e i n habitant% of London who have no club-houses to go to and Tories, and Ra dicals,; wl t ii e are re Whirs,uffiiencly r i c h, are allowed , t ha to keep up their conviviality t o any h our t h e y think s proper. Not only the publicans, b ut t h e i r custo mers, will find this Act as construed b y M r . M IN A-Jul.', a grievous oppression, and a violent infringement of liberty without cause. It is certainly pecwiarly unfortunate at the present moment, that this ob noxious clause should have afforded many enemies, and many friends too, of the Whig's, ground for saying that what with the Con stabulary Force—the Manchester, Bolton, and Bir mingham Police Acts, and others of a similar kind, th ey seem more inclined to imitate the despotic conduct of the Continent a l G overnments t h an to follow o ut the Liberal spirit of the British Consti tution. It will be seen from a Report in another part of the paper that there are three candidates for Man chester, Mr. GREG, a Whig, absent on the Con tinent, but put up by his friends; Sir GEORGE MURRAY, the rejected of Perth, and the out-and out supporter of the Tories ; and last of all, Colonel TllsomPsoN, in the Radical interest. Sir GEORGE has published an address to the electors, and stated the principles on which he has ventured to solicit their support. This document abounds in words signifying next to nothing. It is more vague than any Royal Speech that ever was penned, and well entitles its author when he returns again to the Ca binet, to have assigned him the task of drawing up the QUEEN'S Speech. Ab out one part o f it, however, there is and can be no mistake— he is decidedly opposed to the system of na tional education, advocated by the Government, and supported by a majority of the House of Commons. Colonel THOMPSON'S address, which will be found in another part of the Paper, is more explicit, and leaves no doubt what his political opinions are. We cordially hope, however, that the friends of the Colonel and Mr. GREG will advise together, and not ruin the Liberal cause by fighting against each other. Ac cording to the following calculation in the Man chester Times, the triumph of Toryistn would be the result : " If wo assume the Reform strength to be 4,000 and the Tory 2,500, which is about the truth relatively, it may easily be seen how the Tories may triumph, for an equal division of votes between the Reform candidates would give to the Obstructives a majority of 500. Or, suppose that Mr. Greg polled 500 mure votes than Col. Toomp. son, the result would be— Sir Georg e M urray Mr. Greg 2,250 1,750 Colonel Thompson " Altogether, then, the stet ting of two candidates andthe consequent division of the Reform interest, while that of the Tory remains united and concentrated, is a most dan gerous experiment, and may lead—we had almost said must lead—to the disgrace of this town being represented lay an individual totally unacquainted with its interests, and a I itter enemy to civil. r, ligious and commercial liberty." On Saturday Sir GEORGE MURRAY addressed a meeting at Bywater's Hotel, where about 600 persons attended, and his speech, long as :t was, did little to enlighten the darkness of the address. H e was opposed to the New Poor-law, but was not prepared to vote for its repeal. He would vote for the repeal of the Corn-laws, but not till there is a free trade in every article. He denounced the N ew Police and seemed inspired with terror, though a military man, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL was about to raise " a new army—an army of police officers." The speech altogether displays vast caution and prudence. The Gallant Officer evidently remem hers what happened at Perth, and is anxious to avoid a second rejection for a broken pledge. We learn from a private source, th a t C o l one l THOMPSON yesterday morning was int ro d uce d to Sir Gao. HURRAY and the top T or i es , i n the church-yard after church ; "which," our Corre spondent adds, " you know amounts to entering the Radicals as a regular force." We trust the like a prudent general, will not give battle unless he knows his force is able to meet the enemy. The dispute about the precept, or whether the Mayor or the Boroughreeve is the returning officer, remains unsettled, and, according to some, will lead to two elections. The Paris journals of Saturday have not yet arrived. Those of Friday devote a large share of their columns to comments upon the QUEEN'S Speech on closing the late Session of Parliament. The paragraph in which her MAJESTY expresses her satisfaction that the alliance between France and England continues unimpaired, is very natu rally most dwelt upon ; but we regret to add not in that generous confiding spirit which such a national expression of good -will might be expected to call forth. The Journal des Debats and the Temps are the only papers in which France is cordially congratulated on the continu ance of the English alliance. As this is at present a subject of much interest, we shall take the earliest opportunity of stating our opinion upon it. In the meantime we quote from Galignani s Messen ger a summary of the comments upon the Speech in the Paris journals :—" The Commerce," states our Contemporary, " admits that the words of the QUEEN'S to France are cour teous, to heal the w o u n d s which have been recently inflicted, b ut enters i nto a review, which is anything but l au d atory, o f t h e as if Speechthey were which intended consequences of the friendship of England, particu larly as respects her mediation in the affairs of Mexico, which has been settled, says the Com merce, to the injury of France ; and her intervention in the question regarding the affairs of the East, by which she has drawn the French Government into a combination fatal to the interests of the country." The France, which differs as widely from the Commerce in politics as The Sun does from the Standard, takes nearly the same view of the Speech, and the alliance to which it refers. The Quotidienne, a Carlist, or rather Legitimist organ, agrees with both, and adds that it is absurd to make a boast of the settle ment of a question of so little importance as that of the fishery, whilst the two powers are disagreed upon the question of the East, which keeps the peace of Europ e in jeopardy. The Presse acknow ledges the courtesy of the Speech, but with pro voking absurdity attributes it to the conviction of the English Ministry that if they had not taken this opportunity of making the amende honorable, they would have been called to account for their late ex pressions against France. The T emps regar d s the marked way in which the alliance with France is alluded to as the cordial expres sion of a desire to put an end to all un pleasant feelings, and trusts that the English Government will act up to their professions in all European questions in which the interests of its ally are involved. The Courrier Francais ques tions the good resulting to France from the media tion of England in the affair of Mexico, but ap proves of the treaty respecting the fishery, and ex presses a wish that the English Government, instead of indulging in rhodomontades against France, would have the good feeling to reply graciously to the propositions which have been made by the French Ministry for the resumption of the commer cial conferences. The Debats briefly expresses its satisfaction in the following words :—" We have remarked, with great pl e asure, in the speech of this year, the friendly expressions with which the QUEEN confirms the alliance of France and England, and felicitates herself on a union alike advantageous to the two nations, and , profit able to th e genera l i nterests o f E u rope.' The Journal de Paris observes, that the English have adroitly speculated on the good-nature of the French, who forgive as readily as they take offence; but the writer advises the English not to play at the game of offence too frequently. The Constitutionnel has:a long, and, upon the whole, a favour a bl e ar ticle upon the subject of the relations with England ; but it falls into the error of assuming the English Government cognizant of a necessity to offer some reparation to the wounded self-love of France. The National, whose hostility to England is never concealed, turns the affair into ridicule, assuring its readers, with grave irony, that as the two nations have agreed not to quarrel about oysters and herrings there remains nothing to disturb the peace of the world.

LATEST NEWS FROM PORTUGAL By the arrival of the Braganza steamer at Falmouth on Saturday from the Tagus, the subjoined intelligence hat, been received from Lisbon. The Braganza left Gibral tar on the 23d, Cadiz on the 24th, Lisbon 27th, and Vigo the 29th ult. LISBON, Ace, 26, 4 P m. —The all-engrossing subject here is the fate of the second Bill presented to Parliament by Lord Palmerston, upon 'the Portuguese Slave Trade question. " The captain of the Maria, Virginia slaver, was con ducted on Monday last from the gaol to the vessel, to make out a manifest of the cargo, and to witness the opening of the hatches. Previous to commencing the discharge, he threw his hat into the river to attract the attention of the bystanders, when he instantly leaped overboard and disap peered. The corpse was found on the beach of Traffaria on the subsequent morning. The reason adduced for this rash act is the considerable amount in property he had lost, as also fearing the issue of the trial for the attempt at rescue after the capture. The Portu guese brig Oriente, laden with a cargo of sundry met chandiz, bound hence for San Paulo de Soanda, from her appearance a very suspicious-looking vessel, and suspected of going on a slave voyage, has been detained by the Cus tom House authority, the bail offered not being considered a sufficient guarantee to allow her to depart. " The eighteen Portuguese subjects, late belonging to the slavers Especulador and Carolina taken by her Ma jesty's sloop Electra, were landed from the Hastings, ship-of-the-line, at the naval arsenal on Friday last, whence they were sent on board a hulk, to be draughted, it is sup posed, into the first ship-of-war that may be commissioned. From the voluntary confession of some of these men, it would appear that this nefarious traffic has been protected and fostered by the ox-Portuguese Consul. General at Rio de Janeiro, and the late Governor of Mozambique, who paid the debt of nature in this city a short time since; the tbrmer by granting fictitious passports to vessels, at the rate of 100 milreis; and the latter, by demanding and re ceiving the sum of 24 milreis for each slave put on board, i. e., 8 milreis for himself, and 16 milreis for Government exigencies. "The Government have at length come to the determi nation of forthwith sending an extraordinary Envoy to the Court of Brazil to negotiate a treaty of commerce. The loan for 1,400 contos de reis, it will hardly be believed, is not yet completed (the Lisbon bank, as was understood, not having come forward to take the remainder). The tenders are so numerous, and on such a trifling scale, as to puzzle and perplex the Minister of Fiaance, whose whole time seems to be absorbed with this scanty affair. It is reported that a steamer, name and nationality un known, landed on the coast of Algarve, a few days since, 150 men to join the bandits in that quarter, with a quantity of arms and ammunition. The Terceira war steamer left this for Oporto on the 22d inst., there to receive on board and convey to Lagos 300 infantry from the several regi ments stationed in the north. " General Macdonald is still a prisoner in the Castle of San Joao de Fox, in Oporto. " The Portuguese Vice-Consul in Maranham acquaints the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in his despatch of the 26th of June, that the rebels had three days pre viously proceeded to the island of Santa Anna on that eoist, and destroyed the lighthouse on that island, in the hope that vessels conveying aid or relief to that place might be wrecked. " The Ibelia steam-packet, from London and Fal mouth, with the mail of the 17th instant, arrived on the 23 I instant, and started on the same day for Cadiz and Gibraltar. ."I'he Braganza by which this goes, came in from Gibraltar and Cadiz on Saturday evening last, and departs this ftei noon at 5 o'clock.

TIMES. —The scarcity of money at the Stock Ex change has increased, and an uneasy feeling prevails all over the city. Such a shock as the funds have now had to sustain has not been experienced for a very long time, and it is to be traced in great measure, as was generally anti cipated, to the clumsy manner in which the late conversion of Exchequer bills has been carried through, and public credit, instead of being sustained, has been injured by it. The market is loaded with stock under a scarcity of money, one of the worst features which can present itself. All the share of the m nversion taken by the jobbers and specula tors has been written up, and the greater portion of it pro bably delivered. That subscribed for by the Bank has not been written up, it is understood, till within this day or two, nut the market is now threatened with that additional weight upon it, the broker who usually acts for the Bank having to-day sold very largely. It would be wrong to infer from the great pressure at the Stock Exchange that m a tt ers are materially worse in the commercial discount market. They were nearly as bad there before as they well could be, especially with re gard to second and third-rate bills, which are absolutely at the mercy of the money-dealers. The transaction s in the funds are now merely brought to a uniformity with them. C IZ ON IC L E.— We have long foreseen that monetary and commercial matters could not maintain their ground for any length of time, and we have done everything in our power to caution the public on thi s h ea d. T o a'l thinking persons a crisis is inevitable, and every day tends more and more to strengthen this conviction. A most material and marked depression has taken place in Consols to-day, and Exchequer bills have nearly receded to par. The former have fallen to 901 for money, and 91i for the account, and the latter hhve been marked as low as 4s. premium. The temporary support which was given to the English Stock Market, to enable Lord Monteagle to carry through his funding scheme, now has, it would seem, been entirely withdrawn, and matters arc falling back to their natural course. fleece, no doubt, arises much of the depression which Consols have sustained, but they have chiefly been affected by the increasing scarcity of money, and the total stagnation of confidence and credit. A short time must now bring things to a fatal point, and there, indeed, seems little probability of anything occurring to give them a fa vourable turn. PELISSES AND PRI NCEDOMS.—ROStOptchinC being asked by Paul the First, when in company with several Russian Princes, why he was not a Prince, he re plied, " because his Tartar ancestors settled in Russia in the winter season." Upon being pressed to explain, he continued, " it was the custom of the Emperors of Russia, on such occasions, to give the settler the choice of a prin cipality or a pelisse. Now, my ancestor, arriving in a very cold winter, had the wit to choose the pelisse." Paul laaghed heartily, and congratulated the Princes on their ancestors having settled in the summer season. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday morning the Rev. Thomas Sheppard, Rector of St James's, Clerkenwell, died suddenly at his re idence in Pentonville. The deceased was 76 years old. He came from Brighton on Friday t;vettine, with ail hztention to prca , ..:l; . . nis:er the sacrament at the abovo parish Church yesterday. He was beloved by all who knew him. Zfle -311 x. LONDON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1839. It is said by a Liberal Morning Contemporary, who seems to wish to preclude the Press from the police offices during all preliminary investigation, that " nothing shocks a stranger so much as the abuses of the Press connected with police cases." We presume that " foreigner" is to be understood by " stranger and, so presuming, we take the opportu nity of drawing public attention to the practice, we regret to say of the Liberal party, of setting up the ideas and institutions of foreigners as a standard by which England should be guided anti judged. Whether it be a Francomania or a Russomania it is equally to be condemned, because it enables the Northern Bear or Johnny Crapaud to dictate to us. Why should we care what a foreigner thinks of us if we are prosperous and happy? What our own people think of our institutions is of much mere importance. Our abject ought to be to make them contented, not to win the approbation of foreigners. They have of late borrowed much of us ;—our repre sentative institutions, our mechanic arts, our free Press, the use of which they set rn not exactly to un derstand. At present our Liberals seem impatient of the obligation, and resolved to borrow from the French in turn. We do not object to any pro posed scheme, merely that it exists in those coun tries ; but as they are avowedly governed on des potic principles, that an institution is adopted by them, and is therefore in harmony with the prin ciples of their Government, and in opposition to those of ours, is a prima fide reason, unless our ancestors have been humbugged for ages, and all political science is a delusion, for doubting its utility, and for subjecting it, before adopting it, to a rigorous investigation. The instance that calls forth the admiration of the Chronicle for foreign institutions is this— The master of a vessel belonging to Ipswich, we believe, having been robbed in a place of bad fame, was coolly told by the mistress of the house that it would be better to tint up with the loss than to be shown up in the newspapers. This woman spoke, no doubt, from experience, probably knowing that ninety-nine out of a hundred individuals would rather put up with the robbery than have their names mentioned in a newspaper, in connexion with visiting such places. But we do not see why a man who applies for the assistance of the police in such cases ought to be shosvn up, as it is called, any more than the frequenters of such places who have nothing to complain of." Whereupon our Contemporary says— " With respect to the proceedings previous to trial, se crecy is often necessary on many accounts. Suspicions of all kinds are eagerly caught at, when the object is to get a clue to the discovery of crime ; but it is hard to innocent individuals that they should suffer in their reputation from suspicions which may be proved perfectly groundless. The different courts of police should endeavour to arrange some sort of system, by which publicity may be combined with the regard due to the reputation of individuals. It ought not to be considered an usurpation on the rights of the public, if the courts drew aline of distinction between trials and inquisitions, and endeavoured to enforce their regula tions by some sort of injunction to reporters." Now, this very apprehension of being shown up in the papers, as it is called, which means, merely, that by keeping bad company a man may be badly treated, and that it will be made generally known, is one of the surest guarantees against keeping such company. Our Contemporary would destroy it. He would at the same time destroy the publicity of po lice investigations, and make what he calls in quisitions, corrupting at once our language and our institutions, and impeding the course of justice. The publicity given to the first investigations into the finding the members o f Greenacre's victim brought him to condign punishment ; anct our police annals teem with ex amples both of innocence preserved, and guilt brought to light, by the publication of " inquisi tions." In the present state of the law, too, the publication of such inquiries seems the only means of punishing opulent and yet notorious criminals. If the police investigation into the Bishop of CLOG HER' affair for example, could have been sup pressed, he might have passed at this day for a most virtuous man. He would probably not have had occasion to flee from his bail bonds, and might now have been strengthening by his vote and interest the Jocelyn, or Tory party, in the House of Lords. On these separate grounds, which we have illus trated by known facts, of the publicity of police investigations promoting the detection of guilt, and the knowledge of innocence, and the punish ment of crime in quarters otherwise unassailable, we beg leave to protest at once against making the " inquisitions" secret, and the trials only public. It would hand over the fame and fortune of individuals into the keeeping of Police Magistrates, of whom the new ones to be appointed by the Home Secretary, under Mr. HAWES'S Bill will not be an atom more trustworthy than the present race. The wish to substitute secret inquiries for public investigation, may be taken as an illustration of the prevalent disposition amongst the Liberal party to adopt foreign systems. Summary jurisdiction, ex tensive police, the suppression of all public meet ings but such as are ordered by the authorities, compulsory systems of education, a general guardian ship of the people, as if the Government was the mother of the society, and th e p eo pl e were its babes, are all adopted or strongly recommended by men calling themselves Liberals. This unreasonable and anti-English policy has done more than the Ministers with their Tory inclinations, and the Chartists with their adoption of the Tory arts, to drive the bulk of the people into the arms of Toryism, because it is at least English. To borrow from other countries is not the mode to improve our institutions. Their distinctive characteristic, as compared to the institu tions of the Continent, and which has much con tributed to the independence and enterprise of Englishmen, is that derived from our Saxon ances tors of allowing each little community, locality, or parish to govern itself. The distinctive character of the Continental institutions is to govern every part of society from one centre. The relative pro gress of the nations of the world gives us no reason now to depart from the Saxon principle, and take up with that of the Celts. We heartily wish to preserve the friendship of France, but we have no wish to see England adopting the institutions of the despotic, vain-glorious Gauls. We see from the police reports that three licensed victuallers were fined at Bow-street on Saturday, 51. and 4s. 6d. costs each, not, as the new Act spe cifies, for opening their houses on Sunday before one in the afternoon, but for not shutting them at 12 on Saturday night, about which the Act says absolutely nothing. Mr. MINSHULL, however, with that piercing acumen for which some Magistrates are distinguished, said, the Act was too clear to admit of any doubt, and he accordingly inflicted the full penalty—a penalty, be it remembered, not em bodied in the 47th clause, but tacked to the tail of the Bill for any supposed offence for which the framers had neglected to award a punish ment. So, according to Mr. MiNsuuLL's interpretation every publican th a t k ee p s his house open o f one the Minute aft er th e h our, h owever respectably the house may be conducted, and how eve' fc,pectabk , tiw company., filled 31. for each offence, and will be subject to the intrusion LLOYD'S SHIPPING.- (TAIS DAY.)

The people of Port Philip do not at all seem pleased at he prospect whicn appears they entertain of being consti tuted a settlement independent of this colony. They would then have to defray the whole cost of their Government, which they naturally enough did not like. The popula tion of the colony of Sidney received an increase of 4,700 souls, in the months of January, February, and March, viz• 1,437 emigrants, 436 convicts, in the month of January; 667 emigrants in the month of February; and 1,702 emi- grants, and 1,901 convicts in the month of March. " CHARLOTTE TOWN, JULY 31.—The fine growing weather throughout the whole of this month, as it has been with alternate sunshine and rain, has produced a very in• teresting appearance in the grain crops of this island. Wheat, in particular, has not presented such a favourable appearance for years, being large and strong, and, barring accidents, will be a full crop. B trley is also a full crop, with a large ear. There is also a fair promise of abun dant crops of Oats. Grass is rather thin, the frost having injured the clover plants. Our crop of Hay, we fear, will be very short."

It appears that after the long boat and jolly boat parted company, as reported by Captain Pritchard, the long boat, according to agreement entered into between the parties upon leaving the ship, continued her course for Howe's Island, which she reached on the ninth day after parting company with the other boat. The sufferings of the unfortunate people were very severe ; they encountered several heavy gales of wind, but it pleased God, when they least expected it, that the weather should become moderate and favourable ; for the last five days, notwithstanding their ereat care of the provisions, they had scarcely bread or water, and suffered severely from want ; to add to their distress, three of the seamen became delirious. They arrived atlHowe's Island on Friday, the 22d March, having been eleven days at sea in an open boat ; they were very kindly received by the natives, and also by several white men who were there ; one of the white men had been left behind by the Woodlark, whaler, which arrived at Howe's Island for the purpose of picking up the man that belonged to her. Shortly after Mr. Street and his party arrived. Wheat at S)dney, Colonial from 14s. 6d. to 15c. per bushel of 90 pounds ; Hobart Town, none in market. Some excitement prevailed at the Stock Exchange, when it was ascertained that Saturday's express from Paris brought the Spanish at 244, in consequence of which Spanish, which tras in the morning 21i rose to 23g. Various r+•ports are assigned for this sudden rise—that Nlaroto has gone Over to Espartero; also that Don Carlos has put himself under the protection of Lord John flay.

Twenty-five yesrs have elapsed since her death, and the present owner of Malmaison, H. Hagerman, has h a d t h e walls of that dress. ing-room repeatedly washed and painted ; but neither scrubbing, equafortis, nor paint, has been able to remove the smell of the good Empress's musk, which continues as strong as if the bottle which contained it had been but yes terday removed.

THE CORPORATION OF CARNARVON V. EVANS AND OTHERS. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE moved in this case f,r an injunction to restrain the defendants from selling or conveying, or en tering into any contracts or engagements for selling or con veying to any person, by virtue of the authority contained in the indenture of the. 14th December, 1833. Two of the defendants, George Evans and William Titterton, were mortgagees of certain lands belonging to the CGrpo ration, and they had transferred the mortgage dee. to William Lloyd Roberts, a solicitor, who was veil much opposed politically to the corporation of Car narvon as it was now constituted, and who bad threatened to exercise the power of sale contained in the deeds, and to sell the hereditaments by private contract without the knowledge of the plaintiffs. The affidavits is support of the motion, after verifying the above facts, stated that the mortgaged property was valuel at 25,000/., and . that the mortgage money was only 800/ The VICE CHANCELLOR granted the injUnCtioO; COOKE AND OTHERS V. LEAF and OTHERS. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE also moved for an injunction to re' strain the defendants from selling, or exposing to sal? , any mixed fabrics of the pattern invented by the plaintiff during the period of three months, or until further order. The application was made under the Act passed in the present reign extending the protection of the former Acts to mixed fabrics (the fabric in question was called ?near line de laine), and giving three months exclusive privi leges. The Learned Counsel read the affidavits in sup port of the application, and stated that the proceedings were obliged to be very rapid, as the right only continued for three months. The day of publication was on the 27th of August ; the piracy took place on the same day, and the bill was filed on the 30th. His HONOUR, after comparing the patterns, which ap peared to be precisely similar, thought there was a clear case for an injunction. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) An errand boy named John Kelly, and Sarah Kibby, were brought up by 87, F division, charged with creating& disturbance on Saturday night, in Broad-street, St. On being asked what they had to say to the charge, th e male prisoner, who was allowed to give evidence, said that he was on his way home, after receiving some money from his father, to give to his mother, for market, when he mat the prisoner in company with several others, and she drove one of them against him with such violence, as to force him into the carriage way. On recovering himself, not seeing a policeman at hand, he ran after them, and the prisoner set a dog at him, which sexed him by the leg and cut him, Upon the arrival of the constable she repeated the offence, and the dog being a ferocious animal, snapped at him a se cond time, and tore his trowsers. The prisoner said that the witness first annoyed the dog, and upon her interfering he assaulted her. Mr. TWYFORD ordered her to pay a fine of 205., for the assault, and in de fault he committed her to hard labour for one month, but on her leaving the court ahe commen ced cursing, and swearing that she would repeat the offence the moment she could get her liberty, She was again placed at the bar, and a fine of 40s. Wa g imposed upon her, or be committed to hard labour in the House of Correction for two months. Win. James, a plumber and glazier of Little SurtC.i . Street, Blackfriars Road, w a s ch a rged with robbing in a dwelling house undo r the following circumstances , The prisoner it appeared entered the Cheshire Cheese public-house, Marquis-court, Drury-lane, about six o'clock on Saturday evening, with an empty basket in his hand, and after delaying a short time in the tap room b e went into the yard, where the waiter followed him, and observ ing something in the basket he stopped him in the passage to see what it contained, but the prisoner threw it on the floor, and taking to his heels he got into Russell-stree t before be could be overtaken. On searching the basket there were found two table cloths and a napkin producer which were identified as the property of the landlord. The prisoner said he could not account fur the manner in which the articles came into his possession, and he was ordered to stand fully committed for trial, but to be brcught up again in a week. A decent looking girl, named Maria Ester, a native of Essex, was found by Constable Howard, at seven o'clock on Sunday morning, in one of the recesses of Waterloo bridge, and on questioning her, she said she was destitute , and was determined to destroy herself by drowning. In answer to the Mmgistr a t e , the defendant said she had been in the service of a primer, 14, Rose-buildings, Fetter-lane, which she left on Saturday week last, being in such a weakly condition as to be unable to perform her work. Mr. TWYFORD directed the constable to conduct her to Mr. Kirby, the relieving officer of the Strand union, as a destitute person, and in the mean time to provide her with some refreshment. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) A respectably-dressed female, named Birchall, was Ohl morning brought before Mr. JEREMY by policeman 40 M, charged with disturbing the rest of her Majesty's liege subjects residing in the Southwark Bridge-road, this morn ing, about half-past two o'clock. From the statement of the policeman, it appeared that at the hour in question his at tention was called to the prisoner at the bar, in consequence of her hooting and vowing vengeance against the police , for what cause he could not make out. He stepped u p to her and begged of her to desist, and upon the prisoner stating her determination to persevere he took her into custody. mentor N a lr l s oi . trtit ß erc i te r r e oi h um a b l i i l iec , d e ' m y i n ho a h wash p a p sh e e a aa r d e i cl a sba e ri i id t c l t e th r i oa extremely t him but ano th er po li ceman that took her into custody, an d that he h a d on l y come forward to save the other from t h e expose whi c h h e k new she could make.

They know at the station-house that my husband was a policeman, but the whole of you seem to be set against me, and it is useless therefore to say any thing.—( Laughter. ) Mr. JEREMY to the officer—ls it true that her husband was a policeman ? Policeman 40 NI—I believe she kept company with ono of cur men, who has since been discharged. Mr. JEREMY—WeII, I shall discharge you this time, but you must remember that you must net go on disturbing people at so late an hour, otherwise you will be sent to prison. Mrs. Birchall, giving the Magistrate a most contemptu ous look, bounced out of the office, vowing vengeance against Magistrates and police for not allowing her to amuse herself in her own way in the streets, even though the tlt.li:ight Lour bad gone b!'.
