Ihe House of Lords did not sit yesterday. The House of Commons met at twelve o'clock, and proceeded immediately to discuss in Committee the Metropolitan Police Courts Bill. Mr. LAW was the most active in his opposition to its clauses. He wished first that the Police Magis trates should sit of an evening. AIN HawEs objected to " justice after dinner," but he has no objection to legislatio n after dinner. But if a gentleman cannot be suffered to administer the laws after dinner, he should not be allowed to make them. Mr. LAW moved that the Magistrates should meet at nine o'clock in the morning, but his motion was overruled by 49 to 8. Several other divisions took place on different clauses of the Bill, which was again discussed late in the I evening. W e shall be considered as wholly given to , fAit finding by objecting to this 13i11 ; nevertheless, we must say, that by extending the power of Police Magistrates it is a bad measure. It may not be used to bad purpose, but that will not be owing to the virtue of the Magistrates, so much as to the vigilance and watchfulness of the press. In fact, therefore, the law will only fail to be mischievous, because its operation is controverted and limited by a body which may be said to have no. legal existence. The House rose at three, and sat ag . rin at five. With reference to the Totnes election, Sir G. CLERK announced that th , ,ru was a sessional order in existence, prohibiting gcriti.em en to vote whose elec , tions were not valid, e..nd, therefore, warning the Mem ber for Totnes, who, .tvad taken his seat, that he must not vote till the r',:ti:.rn is tried. Lord JOHN kr,;SSELL presented a pet i t i on f rom the Messrs. HANv mu., the printers of the House of Corn ' mons, a nur:uncing that Mr. POLACK had brought an action„ 'against them for the publication of the evidence tal--cn before a Committee to inquire respecting New Zealand, and applying to the House for instruc tions. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the petition was ordered to be printed and taken into con sideration this day. The success of Mr. STOC KDALE has already raised up other opponents of the publishin g privilege of the House, and Mr. POLACK goes to trial with a verdict already given in his favour, against a newspaper, on the same case. Mr. HUME gave notice . 0 . 3 f a motion, on going into Committee to vote 75,000/. for more soldiers, that the House should take measures for lessening the grievances of the people. Lord J. RussF.f.r.. gave notice of another Police Bill for Birmingham, in conformity to the suggestion of Sir ROBERT PEF.a., to-morrow. This is after-dinner law making. The Noble Lord in answer to Mr. PAKINGTON, said he meant to propose his rural police scheme this Ses sron, which will, therefore, we presume, last till about Christmas, unless 100 Members, carrying, it is true, no authority - with them, can transact that business in a few days which it would take the whole House months to transact. Such legislation can have no authority with the nation, and will only hasten the progress of that contempt into which the Legislature is falling. The Payment of Rates Bill was read a second time after some opposition and a division. All these Bills are making great alterations in the laws. Their effects will not be confined to what the Legislature intends, but will alter a number of other laws. Such changes tend to destroy the authority of prescription, and, being themselves unreasonable, they are overthrowing all authority. Moral and political confusion already exists in the public mind, and legal confusion will fast follow it. A great deal more business of detail was done, for which we refer to our report. The House sat till Half Peal Twelve o'Clock. The price of wheat rose yesterday in Mark-lane 2s. per quarter. A similar rise took place in New castle-on-Tyne on Saturday. The rainy weather here, which is the principal cause of this rise, ex tends, we are sorry to see, to Ireland, and there threatens great damage to a harvest which other wise promises to be bountiful, almost beyond example. This is a poor prospect for our people with wheat at 60s. per quarter, cotton-mills work ing short time, decreasing exports, short-coming revenue, increasing expenditure by a continual ex tension of the coercive means of governing, and i the wa ges o f working men being from 9s. to 12s. per week. It is a sad thing fur the count r y when th e l a b our most in demand is that of th e policem an an d the soldier. Of course, our Corn-law -making landlords, eager to shirk the responsibility of their own acts, and conf . G . rdly enough to run away from their own glories, will take advantage of an unfavourable season, and - will ascribe the results of theirown enactments to the l aws of nature. To save themselves, they and their partisans will not hesitate to calumniate Pro- ' vidence, and will spread mistrust of its goodness through the land by affirming that the sufferings of t h e people are not caused by their scoundrel enact ments, but by the decrees of the ALMIGHTY. When the people are starving and complaining, we shall hear again from the landowners and all their clerical allies, strange and fearful denunciations of the law H of population, and of the unproductive power of the earth. The people, it will be reiterated, breed too fast, so that their industrious operations in an unfruitful soil will not prDvide nourishment for all. To meet and repel such comments in advance, to take away from the law-makers, including the Bishops, the chance of throwing the guilt off their own shoulders, not to allow them to shirk the awful responsibility which belongs to interposing between the wants of man and the Providence of God, is our present purpose. What, then, do the Corn-laws decree ? This Day is published, Price 2s. 6d., No. IV. of the FOREiGN MONTHLY REVIEW, and CONTINENTAL LITERARY JOURNAL.

TROLLOPE'S DOMESTIC MANNERS of the AMERICANS. Any of which can be had separately. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. This :—The inhabitants of no part of Europe will prow any corn for our _peopl'e till it reaches the enormous price of 70s. per quar ter. They therefore prohibit the cultivation of corn. They doom, as it is known they have doomed. large . tr acts o f l an d i n Germany and other parts of Europe to barrenness ) or they have converted wheat fields, which were cultivated for our people, into sheep-walks. They have also prohibited the cultivation of corn fo: the use of our people in the United States. To what extent they have im peded the growth of wheat in foreign countries no human being can say ; hut undoubtedly, were it not for the Corn-laws, thousands of acres which now do not produce a grain of wheat for us would pour their produce into our country. Nor would that supply impede the cultivation of one acre at home. There might be no rent, there might be no tithes, but the expense of cultivating the soil here, the whole of which resolves itself into the wages of labour, which depend again on the price of corn, would be diminished as the price of corn fell. It requires less labour to produce wheat here than in other countries ; it would therefore be cheaper, and the law which allowed foreign produce to be freely poured into England, would extend the cultivation of our own soil. Then we tell the landowners that the Corn-laws curtail, to an unknown and in conceivable extent, the cultivation and supply of food ; and that they—not the seasons—not the laws of population, are the causes of hunger, starvation, and many untimely deaths. They are responsible for all the sufferings of the people. Of what consequence would one bad harvest be, if, in ordinary seasons, the people had abundance of food ? They would have to cur tail their superfluities ; but when they are kept perpetually short of food by a law which con fines them exclusively to the produce of the land in their immediate neighbourhood, instead of drawing their supplies from the wide globe, when they con tinually increase up to the very borders of the nar row supply, and are not allowed to extend it,---then a deficient harvest reduces them at once to extreme want. They have no superfluous food to spare, they have nothing to give up, and are at once doomed to distress and hunger. Whatever may be the case with a savage, the labour of a skilful man in civilized life produces in every part of Europe much more food than suffices for his own consumption. Providence, then, is bountiful to industry—Provi dence does not dcom it to want and hunger ; but our landowners, for their own selfish pur pose, with monstrous arrogance, only to be equalled by the monstrous folly which sub mits to their arrogance, dare to prohibit the cul tivation of the earth, dooming the labouring classes to hunger, sorrow, and suffering, and impiously dare to charge the miseries they cause on the wis dom of the ALMIGHTY. By one and the same law they inflict immense physical suffering on the too obedient people, and sow in their hearts the seeds of Atheism. The Aristocracy are digging their own graver. They will not require the aid of any Radical sex tons. Losing successively their close boroughs and close corporations, they are now resolved by their blindness and stupidity to lose their domination over the counties. Mis-using the remnant of feudal power sttfi possessed by them, in the mono poly of municipal rule in the counties, they are de termined by abuse of their privilege of selecting Magistrates and Deputy Lieutenants, to ensure to the people the early possession of an elective system for the counties similar to that obtained by the Scotch Burgh and English Corporation Reform. Not content with the nomination of county Magis trates, the Tory Lords jealously envy the Executive Government the veto on the appointment of borough Magistrates. Our readers doubtless recollect the recent im peachment of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in the House of Lords, for his alleged partiality in the municipal commission of the peace for the town of Birming ham. The Duke of WELLINGTON led the onslaught, attended by his aide-de-camp, Lord WARWICK. Those who first thtow stones should take care of their own windows. Lord WARWICK, by gratuitously and falsely attacking Mr. JOSEPH PARKES, has caught a Tartar. The Noble Earl seized the first opportunity, within twenty-four hours after the Birmingham riots, to endeavour to fix the responsibility of the loss of property on the new Magistracy. He condemned the commission of the peace for that newly incorporated town as a rank party corps of Ultra-Liberals—impeaching Lord JOHN RUSSELL for his nomination on the presentment of the Town Council, and at the same time exalting his own remarkable impartiality, as Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, in his selection of county Magistrates. His Lordship further de nounced his fellow townsman, Mr. JOSEPH PARKES, as the patron and manufacturer of the Birmingham commission approved by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Truly the Noble Aristocrat is no con juror. Mr. PARKES has sorely blistered and blemished the Noble Earl. In a letter addressed to the Warwickshire Lord Lieutenant, Mr. PARKES has pilloried his Lordship, and left him standing the laughing-stock of his county. He has exhibited the hereditary party spirit and muni cipal abomination of the " WARWICK FAMILY." The present weak Nobleman is shown to have imitated his father in an invariable selection of Tories, and an invariable rejection of Liberals, in the Warwickshire commission of the peace. For half a century the " Lords of Warwick" have made the Magistracy an almost exclusive political corps of Tories. We should say that the Warwickshire Magistracy has been the essence of Toryism. Dozens of Conservative Parsons have been placed in the commission, and almost every Liberal Clergyman excluded. Mr. PARKES shows up the motives of the Noble Justice-maker. Lord WAR WICK and his father were wise in their generation. The nomination of two Representatives of the county town was the family object of the family policy. We thank his Lordship for exposing hits self and his ancestors. If he had not blindly courted inquiry by his self-praise in the House of Lords, he might have carried on th e b aron i a l system ad in h'nztuni. We doubt whether it will now last over his time. The scorching exposition of his party county Magistracy, will not only end in the demo lition of this scandalous individual monopoly of dealing in justice, but it must originate similar exposures. We call upon the Liberals in all other counties ruled by Tory Lords Lieutenant, to follow the example, and imitate th© courage of Mr. PARKES ; to obtain immediately copies of their county rolls of Magistrates, and through the Public Press to expose their party com position. In every county there must be similar individuals in the Liberal party of general local ac quaintance with their county Magistracy. Let them only trick out the politics of the Magistracy and Deputy-Lieutenancies, and schedule the rela tive numbers of Tories and Liberals, not forget ting the Parsons in the Commissions, and public indignation will soon burn out the plague -spot in our county system of dispensation of justice. The Duke of WELLINGTON has been held up to the public gaze for his partiality in the Isle of Wight. Surely the Hampshire Independent may give us, by some means, an account of his GRACE'S dispen sation generally in Hants. A few more such exposures as that of Mr. PARKES will do more to demolish the county system of municipal misrule than years of desultory discussion in the House of Commons. This is the way to pare the nails and prune the insolence of the Tory Parsons. The letter of Mr. PARKES, which we in sert in another part of Tice Sun, is a prece dent for Reformers of every Tory -ruled county in England and Wales to "go and do like wise." We only exhort them to be correct in their facts, and to chronicle the names of every Parson Justice. Poor Lord W ARWICK We think, like the Duke of NEWCASTLE, he will be mute, and not court further punishment. If Lord COTTENHAM does ustice he will use the Great Seal to put au end to this abominabl e sys tem of political partiality and Aristocratic inso lence. His Lordship cannot do better than begin with Lord WARWICK. It will be seen from a Report in another part of the Paper that between three hundred and four hundred inhabitants of the large and influential parish of Marylebone dined together at the White Conduit House to celebrate the anniversary of the Marylebone Vestries Act. The speeches were not confined to local subjects. After a f ew mo d est an d judiciou s observations from the Chairman, Mr. SODEN, Mr. G. A. YOUNG made a long speech on Poor-laws and Corn-laws, which strongly re minds us of the oratory of his prototype and name sake Mr. GEO. FRED, YOUNG, late Member for Tynemouth. Sir BENJ. HALLS speech was characterised by good sense and discretion. Mr. O'CONNELL was the next speaker, and, tal'ing it all and all, we have no htzitatiiin in Stating his peeth was the best he has made for many years. After a brief allusion to the object of the meeting, he painted in glowing colours the folly of the Aris tocracy, the madness of the Chartists, and the apathy cf the ZNlinistry, in taking no steps to coun teract the baneful effects of either. He adverted to the present condition of Ireland, of which he was proud to be called the representative, to the state of our financial affairs, to the disjointed state of European politics in consequence of the revolu tion in Turkey, which in all probability would bring on a general war in a month, and triumphantly asked in what position the trade, the commerce, the institutions, nay the Throne of the Queen of ENGLAND would be, if his countrymen, denounced by Tory prints as rebellious subjects, had joined with the torch and dagger men of England ? His speech, altogether, is well worthy a perusal, and we will not destroy its effect by partial quotations. We recommend it to the attention both of our High- Tory, and our Ultra-Radical readers. We have received copies of two Imperial Ukases, promulgated by the Emperor of Russia, making several changes in the currency of the empire. The following summary of them will prove inte resting to merchants and others having commercial relations with Russia : 1. The silver ruble, and its fractional parts, as now in circulation, is henceforth to be recognised as the only legal measure of value, for the whole empire. All taxes are to be paid in this currency, and all the expenses of the Treasury are to be calculated therein. 2. The existing Bank notes return to their original des tination; that is to say, they will henceforth serve as a representative of value, and as a means for facilitating commercial intercourse ; their value, however, is per manently fixed at the invariable price of 330 pal:wr copecs for 100 silver copecs. 3. In all payments, the person paying has the choice of paying in silver, or in paper at the rate of 350 copecs. 4. In the payment of importation and exportation duties, the silver ruble will continue to be reckoned at 360 copecs till the Ist of January, 1840. B. All Government accounts, and those between private individuals, as well as all contracts and dealings, will be reduced to the Jiver valuta. The latest term for this re duction, throughout the whole empire, is fixed fur the Ist of January, 1840. 6. Russian gold coins will be received and paid in all Government offices with an agio of 3 per cent. Thus the imperial of 10 rubles in gold is to be calculated as worth 10 rubles and 30 copecs in silver; arid the half-imperial, at 5 rubles 15 copecs in silver. 7. Foreign exchanges and prices of merchandise will henceforth be quoted in silver only. It has been farther resolved, that from the let of Janu ary 1840, a bank for deposits (caissc de depot) shall be esta blished, where silver may be paid in, and certificates to a corresponding amount given in exchange, which will al ways be payable on demand. To this establishmen merchants will be attached. The Madrid Journals received, are of the 23d ult. Preparations were making for the celebration of the QUEEN'S birth-day (the 24th) which had been fixed by ESPARTERO for his grand attack on Estella. Verily, ESPARTERO is careful not to steal a march upon the enemy. The Carlists are never attacked by the Duke of VICTORIA, under a month's notice, at the very least. If DON CARLOS be found unprepared, the fault is not attributable to his polite adversary. In the capital, the elections were exciting the liveliest interest. The Exaltado candidates were Senors ARGUELLES, LOPEZ, MEND'. ZABAL, CANTERO, CALATRAVA, CABALLERO, OLO ZAGA, OSCA, GOMEZ, PASDO, and MIRANDA ALONZO; and their motto was, " The Constitntion of 18;37, fully and faithfully executed ; and the conclusion of the civil war, without any transaction with Don CARLOS." Mr. ASTON, the newly-appointed British Minister at Ma drid, was not expected to arrive before the beginning of September. There is no news of any general interest in the French Journals of Tuesday, the whole of which we have re ceived. On the subject of the negociation between the Banks of England and France, the Journal des Debats writes as follows : " For some days past Messrs. Curtis and Baring have occupied themselves in Paris for the Bank of England with a convention to modify the course of Exchange, of which the prices were calculated to favour the export of the pre cious metals in London, and which threatened to exhaust the gold in reserve at the Bank of England, and thus ori ginate a serious commercial crisis. After some explana tions the treaty has been definitively concluded, with the I co-operation and under the auspices of the Bank of France. Several principal Parisian banking houses have engaged to accept the Bank of England bills for a sum of fifty million of francs ( two miliions sterling). The Bank of France will open at these houses a special credit, and will discount these bills. For the guarantee of the French capitalists and of the Bank of France the Bank of England will de posit at the latter equal security, consisting of the public funds of the English Government. This intervention of French capitalists in the affairs of Great Britain, and this support given by the Bank of France to the Bank of Eng land, arc not only acts dictated by honourable international feeling, but are measures at the same time of wisdom and I of great foresight in favour of French industry, for there is a❑ intimate connection between English and French com merce, and the one cannot prosper if the other is shaking ; and any event which would affect the Bank of England would have a terrible counteraction this side of the channel.' , The fetes terminated on Monday night without the slightest disturbance of the general tranquillity. The following summary of the amusements of the populace is taken Irom a French Journal -- FETES FOR JULY. The weather on Tuesday was highly favourable for the annual rejoicings of the 29th of July; the sky was clear, the sun shone out bright and warm, a refreshing breeze prevailed, and a dry evening allowed of the illuminations and fireworks being seen to the best advantage. The usual amusements in the Champs Elysees, on the esplanade cf the Invalides, and at the Barriere du Trone, were carried on with much spirit. The booths and dancing establishments displayed rather more than usual, and the inhabitants of Paris seemed to enjoy themselves to the utmost. The sports on the water occasioned much amusement to the spectators. The ascent of M. Margat in his balloon from the Pont d' Orsay was effected successfully at 5 o'clock, and the breeze wafted him gently away to the north-east of the capital. Several small balloons, with only a basket attached to them, were sent up during the afternoon. His Majesty and the Royal Family appeared on the terrace over the arcades of the Tuileries during the concert in the evening, and were re ceived with perfect respect by the dense crowd that filled the garden. Throughout the afternoon, in the Champs Elysees, &c., where the temporary theatres were erected, the ordinary displays of bloodless, not powderless, battles took place. We thought that our friends, the Arabs, had all been culbutes, and done for last year ; however, these worthy warriors again made their appearance on the present occasion, and gave a noble victory to the deathless heroes in red trousers, who attacked them from two in the after noon till near the witching hour of midnight. At half past eight the display of fireworks on the Quay d'Orsay and the Pont de la Concorde began, and lasted till half -past nine, without any intermission. They were really magnifi cent this time ; three smaller bouquets and two immense ones of unusually long duration, besides a most brilliant display of flaming pyramids, cascades of fire, showers of tri coloured lights, and three fire balloons, which, at a consider able height, sent forth showers of coloured fire, added to a most beautiful exhibition of fireworks on the water, gave great eclat to this part of the festival. The Royal Family were at the windows of the Pavilion de Fiore ; and the Place de la Concorde, the quays, the garden of the Tuile ries, &c., were crowded to excess. The bouquets at the Barrier,: du Trone were also unusually good. The illumi nations burned brilliantly, and among them the dome of the Pantheon, lighted all over, formed a new and imposing picture. The Arc de Triompe de l'Etoile, and the cen tral avenue of the Champs Elysees (which was lighted in a novel manner, by clusters of coloured lamps suspended across the road), with the Invalides, the Chamber of De. puties, the Madeline, the obelisk of Luxor, &c.. were ex ceedingly beautiful. Owing to the excellent precautions taken by the police, the circulation of the masses of the po pulation was well maintained, and we have not heard of any accident worth mentioning. In Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday we find the following remarkable communication from the theatre of war in Spain. We will not venture, however, to vouch for its correctness : A letter from Onate, of the 24th ult., says : ' " Maroto and his partisans have thrown off the mask 1 with regard to Don Carlos, and are now openly trying to [ make an arrangement between the two hostile parties in Spain, notwithstanding the opposition of the Prince and his immediate friends on one side, and of Espartero on the other. Maroto and his supporters are stated to have the abdication of the Prince in view, rather than not effect a settlement of the question in this manner ; and to that end the Carlist minister of war, Montenegro, had waited on the Prince, on the 21st, to represent to him the exhausted state of the treasury, the want of all necessaries experienced by the army, the long standing of the arrears of pay, &c., and recommending Don Carlos to consent to an ami cable settlement of the question in dispute. The Prince, in reply, ordered Montenegro not to mention the subject to him any more, and declared his intention of proceeding immediately to Estella. The minister set forth the danger of this proceeding, and on quitting the Prince im mediately issued strict orders that nobody should either enter into or leave Onate without express permission, so that D on C ar l os i s now held a close prisoner there by Me moo. Th e P r i nce, who had wished to get away secretly from Nlaroto's reach, had previously issued an order to all the Carlist refugees exiled by Maroto to retire into the interior of France, knowing that such an order would not be attended to, and using it as a cloak for his own designs. Our correspondent adds that, such is the feeling of all classes of inhabitants of the Basque provinces towards the Prince, the moment they became aware of his being kept a prisoner by Maroto they will rise to a man in his favour, and a bloody re-action against the General will ensue."

Letters from Constantinople of the 10th ult., have been received. The capital continued tranquil, not withstanding that the defeat of the army, and the defec tion of the fleet, was generally known. Old KOSREFF "'Actin, who may be said to enjoy the supreme autho rity under the SULTAN, had quietly disposed of the dis affected, as a number of shaven polls were seen floating in the Bosphorus. The Divan was very busy, and the couriers attached to the different embassies were flying in all directions. HAFIZ PACHA had fled with the re mains of his army to Malatia, where he proposed to rally his forces, and march back to the Euphrates. Besides the letters from Constantinople, we have received the Augsburg Gazette of the 25th ult., in which we find the following correspondence from Alexandria : " Aintab has been re-taken, and the garrison under Osman Pasha made prisoners of war. Ibrahim generously amnestied the inhabitants of the city. The Egyptian army entered Anatolia in three columns by Orfa, Aintab, and Marasch. The object of this expedition was to pursue and disperse the Ottoman army. Five thousand of the prisoners have enlisted in the ranks of the Egyptian forces, who are to be sent to Arabia. A Russian army was ex pected to land in Anatolia, in which case Ibrahim was determined on marching against the invaders. This intel ligence was considered certain in Egypt. " The Egyptian fleet, which is still cruising before Alexandria, has just been reinforced by the ship-of-the line, No. 12, whose armament was attended with many de plorable accidents, 80 persons were killed by the fall of the masts or some other cause, owing to the haste with which the works were conducted. The ship itself was nigh being wrecked on quitting the harbour, having re mained during several hours lying on a rock near the coast. Fortunately, however, the wind was low, and by means of an Egyptian steamer and the boats of several trading y es _ sets the ship was got off without being much damaged. " The British squadron, from Malta, is expected at Alex. andria."

Mr. Wells has also announced his intention of becoming a can didate for the Borough at a future eleet'on.—[ Some of our readers may recollect, that Mr. Wells on a former occasion offered himself for Cambridge, in the literal sense of the term, for as he could obtain no support amongst the electors, he was compelled to be his own proposer at the hustings.

THE TOTNES ELECTION.—We apprehend that Mr. Baldwin has no chance. His conduct towards Mr. Parrott showed that he never expected to win. What business had he to attack Mr. Parrott upon his private circumstances? and surely Mr. P. had a right to resign his seat without consulting Mr. Baldwin I I—Devonshire Chronicle. Lady Eleanor Howard, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Wicklow, is to be united in about a month to Mr. Stuart, a cousin of the Marquis of London derry. The gentleman is a widower, and reported to be very rich, We learn from Avranches that the carriages con taining, the prisoners condemned by the Court of Peers ar rived there on Tuesday, at two P.m. Armand Barbes, Martin Bernard, Delsade, and Austen were then succes sively taken out, and taken to the prison, without being allowed any communication with each . other. The van then took the road towards Brittany, to carry Mialon to his des tination (Brest). The following morning a covered van took Martin Bernard, Delsade, and Austen to Mont St. Michael. Armand Barbes followed in a cabriolet, escorted by the gendarmes of the place. They were then con ducted to their cells, which are a very comfortable sort of dungeon, being large, airy, clean, &c., with a southern aspect. Each cell contains four 100p -holes two feet high by six inches, strongly barred with iron. From these cells the prisoners have an extended view of the coast of Nor mandy and Brittany, and the dreary waste of sands which separate the castle and the coast. The old abbey is at pro. sent the prison of three legitimatists, who have also lately been condemned.— Gazette dcs Tribunaux. On Tuesday morning an inquest was held at the Guy Earl of Warwick, in Belton-street, Long-acre, before Mr. Wakley, M. P., on the body of Mr. George Duckett, aged 69. years. The deceased bad formerly carried on an extensive business as a tinman and brazier, but through losses in trade and other misfortunes of late years, he had become reduced to great poverty. On Sunday night be retired to bed with his wife in his usual state of health, and on the following morning Mrs. Duckett, on awaking, dis covered her husband a corpse by her side. He had evi dently expired without the slightest struggle. Verdict-- " Natural Death." The deceased was just on the eve of coming into possession of an estate of the value of 1,2001. per annum, bequeathed to his family by the late Dr. Harris, of Doctors' Commons. EFFECTS OF NURSING.—A farmer residing in the neighbourhood of Lockerbie had, some time ago, in his possession a bitch of a cross between the bull-dog and terrier, which displayed a most remarkable propensity for destroying hares; eventually she became so skilful as to be able almost entirely to fend for herself. However economical this practice might be, her master discouraged it as much as possible, for lairds have a most surprising dislike to sporting dogs being kept on a farm ; but all was of no avail, hares were gobbled up without either law or license, and it was not until the all-engrossing duties of a mother came upon her, that "poor puss" obtained a short respite. Our farmer wisely recollecting the proverb "that what is bred in the bone will remain in the iesh," determined to root out the sporting mania, and forthwith the poor hare-hunter's numerous progeny were consigned to the tender mercies of the mill-pond—thus suf fering unmeritedly for the sins of their mother, who, after pining for a day or two, disappeared for some hours, and returned bearing a leveret in her mouth, which she suckled with the greatest care for a fortnight, and would have continued to do so, had not a strange dog killed the adopted denizen of the field ; she then brought a second home, which unluckily shared a similar fate; but strange to say, although a considerable period of time has elapsed, she has never been known to kill a single hare since. numerous cases have occurred in which the milk imbibed has had a remarkable effect on the suckling—a fact turned to admirable account by Sir Walter Scott in the " Fair Maid of Perth ;" but this is the first instance we have met with of the giver of suck having its disposition so entirely changed by the exercise of the maternal duties. —Duntfries Courier. IRISH PREJUDICE.—At an inquest held on Monday before Mr. Wakley, M. P., at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of an Irishman, named Morrisy, who died in consequence of being kicked in the groin by his owe horse, Mr. Gerrard, the house-surgeon, observed that deceased laboured under inflammation of the peri toneum, and was going on well until Sunday last, on the evening of which day he died, in a great degree from the excitement consequent upon the visits of numerous rela tions and friends, who continually tormented him and wished to take him home. The Coroner—Are the promiscuous visits of friends and acquaintances permit. ted ? Mr. Gerrard —We. cannot prevent them, parti cularly on visiting days. The Coroner—l am very sorry for it. The excitement they cause frequently snaps the slight thread by which patients' lives are held. Besides, visitors to hospitals are continually introducing ardent spirits, the givin g w hi c h to pat i ents d estroys i n an instant all the good the doctors may have previously done. The Governors and arectors have the power to prevent a multitude of visitors, and they ought to exercise it. The widow of the deceased, a powerful woman, said her husband told her he was kicked by the horse whilst rubbing down its legs, and she complained bitterly of the house-surgeon, who she said had opened the body after promising be would not do so. She vowed with words and looks of vengeance that sh e would " do" for the sur geon the first time she caught him in the streets. The Coroner told her that it was by his orders the body was opened, and asked why the Irish were so much prejudiced against post mortem examinations? Mr. Gerrard said such examinations, it appears, rendered dead bodies unfit for a " wake." Verdict—" Accidental death." 6iTsT 1, 1839 CORN AVERAGES.

COMMERCIAL TREATY BE- TwEtN HOLLAND and the UNITED STAT Tun HAGUE, JULY 30.—The Stoats Courant of to-day contain a Royal Ordinance, promulgating the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between the Netherlands and the United States of America. The United States of America and his Majesty the King of the Nethe r l an d s , anx i ous to regulate the commerce and navigation carried on between the two countries in their respective vessels, h ave , f or t h at purpose, named Plenipo tentiaries ; that is to say, The:President of the United Stares has appointed John Forsyth, Secretary of State of the said United States, and his Majesty the King of the Netherlands has appointed Jonkheer Evert Marius Adrian Martini, Member of the Body of Nobles of the Province of North Brabant, Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion, and his Charge d'Affaires in the United States, who having exchanged their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed to the following articles : Art. 1. Goods and merchandise, whatever their origin may be, imported into, or exported from, the ports of the United States, from or to the ports of the Netherlands in Europe, in vessels of the Netherlands, shall pay no higher or other duties than shall be levied on the like goods and merchandise as imported or exported in national vessels. And reciprocally goods and mer chandise, whatever their origin may be, imported into o r exported f rom th e p or ts o f th e Netherlands in Europe, from or to the ports of the United States, in vessels of the said States shall pay no higher on other duties than shall be levied on the like goods and merchandise so imported or exported in national vessels. The bounties, drawbacks. or other favours of this nature which may be granted in the States of either of the contracting parties on goods im ported or exported in national vessels, shall also, and in like manner be granted on goods directly exported or im ported in vessels of the other country to and from the ports of the two countries, it being understood that in the latter, as in the preceding case, the goods shall have been loaded in the ports from which such vessels shall have been cleared. Art. 2. Neither party shall impose upon the vessels of the other, whether carrying cargoes between the United States and the ports of the Netherlands in Europe, on arriving in ballast from any other country, any duties of tonnage, harbour dues, light-houses, salvage, pilotage, quarantine, or port charge of any kind or denomination, which shall not be imposed in like cases, on national vessels. Art. 3. It is further agreed between the two contracting parties, that the Consuls and Vice Consuls of the United States in the ports of the Netherlands in Europe, and re ciprocally the Consuls and Vice Consuls of the Nether lands in the ports of the said States, shall continue to enjoy all privileges, protection, and assistance, as may be usual and necessary for the duly exercising of their functions, in respect also of the deserters from the vessels, whether public or private, of their c . , - ,untriess Art. 4. The contracting parties agree to consider and treat as vessels of the United States and of the Nether lands all such as, being furnished by the competent au thorities with a passport or sea letter, shall, under the then existing laws and regulations, be recognised as national vessels by the country to which they respectively belong. Art. 5. In the case of shipwreck or damage a sea, each party shall grant to the vessels, whether public or private, of the other, the same assistance and protection which would be afforded to its own ♦essels in like cases. Art. 6. The present treaty shall be in force for the term of ten years, commencing six weeks after the exchange of the ratifications, and further, until the end of twelve months after either of the contracting parties shall have given to the other notice of its intention—each of the contracting parties reserving to itself the right of giving such notice to the other after the expiration of the term of ten years ; and it is hereby mutually agreed, that in case of such notice, this treaty, and all the provisions thereof, shall, at the eni of the said twelve months, altogether cease and determine. Art. 7. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratification shall be exchanged at Washington within six months of its date, or sooner if practicable. In witness thereof, the respective Renipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms. Done, in duplicate, at the City of Washington, this nineteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine. (L. S.) JOHN FORSYTH. (L. S.) AD. MARTINI. FRAUDULENT DETENTION OF PROPERTY.— Several poor persons applied on Tuesday to the Magis trates of Union Hall office, for their interference in ob taining restitution of goods which were fraudulently kept from them. Most of the applicants had articles, which, although of small value, had been kept from them by the dishonesty of the parties against whom they complained, and the object of the applicants were to have warrant s against them for illegally detaining their property. The Magistrates said that at present they had . not the po wer o f issuing any process against persons who illegally kept back property, unless it could be proved they had either sold it or unlawfully pawned it. There was a claus e , h owever, introduced in o the Metropolitan Police Bills, which, if passed, would remedy this defect in the existing law, and be of immense service, because it was absurd to suppose that poor persons could bring actions for the recovery of property withheld from them under such circumstances. CAUTION TO SURGEONS.-011 Tuesday, in an action brought by a surgeon in the Sheriff's Court, to re cover for attendances and medicines supplied, defendant pleaded that plaintiff's diploma did not entitle him to sue for the value of the medicines. A certificate from the Company of Apothecaries was necessary for that purpose. The plea was admitted where the drugs were supplied in cases not properly within the department of surgery. SINGULAR ACCOUCIIENIENT.—ShortIy before six o'clock on Monday morning, the family of Mr. King, chemist, residing in Edward's-place, Kensington, were alarmed by the screams of a female in front of the house. Mr. King immediately got out of bed, and went down stairs, and on opening the door, found a female s itti ng on th e s t one steps, i n the act of giving birth to a fine female child. He immediately called for assistance, and Osborne, T 174, with other con stables came to the spot, who removed her into the shop, where in a few minutes, being attended by Mr. Laycock, a surgeon, she was safely delivered. She stated that she was the wife of William Rowland, of the White Horse, New Cut, Lambeth ; that she had on Sunday been to visit some friends residing at Hammersmith, where she had stayed all night, but feeling herself towards morning in disposed, she left the house, in the hope of reaching home before she got worse. She was ultimately conveyed, with the little stranger, on the stretcher, to the union workhouse, where both are doing well. EXECUTION AT NOTTINGHAM (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) On Wednesday (yesterday) morning the unfortunate mail, John Driver, who was convicted at the County As sizes for Nottingham of the wilful murder of an old woman named Ann Hancock, at Caunton, expiated the offence with his life on the new drop, in front of the County Hall. He had been sentenced to death witeout any hope of mercy being shown to him by Lord Abinger, one of the Judges of the Midland Circuit; his crime was that of break ing into the house of his victim, an old woman, residing at the village of Caunton, in the county of Nottingham, and killing her by striking her on the head with a stick, strang ling her with his hands, and suffocating her by stuffing with great violence a linen rag down her throat. The stick was found in his own house with blood and grey hairs on the end of it, and he and his mother, with whom he re sided, apprehended; but although there was nothing to fix any guilt upon the latter, yet there was no doubt of that of the former, as the deceased's watch and a quantity of money, and a variety of articles which could be sworn to, were found upon him. Previous to his trial he, under supposition that it would save himself, stated that a man named Lawson had committed the murder, while he ( Driver) was down stairs, robbine the house, and that ho did not know of the murder till after he had left the house ; but after his trial he denied that statement, and fully con fessed that he had done the deed himself, though he de nied that he had used the stick, or had it with him at he time ; grey hairs were, however, found upon it, and the public may suppose what they please relative to it. He was a most illiterate character, a boorish countryman ; previous to the murder, could neither read, write, nor spell, a letter, and knew not a single prayer, but since his condemnation he took to reading in a wonderful manner—made out whole sentences, and was never happier than when reading himself, or getting somebody to read to him. The Rev. W. J. Butler, the chaplain of the gaol, has been par ticularly attentive to him, impressing on his mind the ne cessity of preparing for a change, and be on his part listened with the most profound attention, and acted up to the letter of his instructions. In the week before his exe cution, his mother went to the gaol to see him, and bade him farewell, and on the evening before his execution seve ral other relations took their final leave. On the Tuesday night he slept very sound, got up at six o'clock in the morning, eat a hearty breakfast, and then proceeded to chapel, where he heard the service with great attention. He afterwards requested the chaplain to write to his mo ther for him, which was done at his dictation, and then, all being ready, and the mail having brought no orders to stay the execution, he bade adieu, and shook hands with the felons, and then proceeded to the room where he was pinioned. Here another prayer was said, and then, in the most firm and collected manner, he moved towards the drop, accompanied by the Under-Sheriff, Deputy Under- Sheriff, &c. On ascending the scaffold, a dense crowd of twenty thousand people met his eye, whom he addressed, but in so low a tone as scarcely to be heard. He begged of them to love good, and mind their book, and, above all, to keep good hours. Having completed, the cap and knot were adjusted, and, amid stifled screams of the vast crowd, the fatal bolt was withdrawn, and the soul of the mur derer took its flight from this world for ever. Alter hinging for an hour his body was cut down, and in the afternoon buried in the precincts of the gaol. He died truly penitent. Au instance of the inefficiency of capital punishments as preventing crime was never more fully displayed than on the present occasion. From six o'clock in the morning till the hour of execution, which was ten, the crowds as sembled were tremendous, and the pushing, crowding, screaming, and shouting were unrivalled in the annals of the various scenes we have witnessed. In front of the drop was a large heap of mortar, and rain having inces santly fallen all night and during the whole time of the execution, it became wet, and created much dirt around where the crowd stood ; this mortar was pelted and thrown about in all directions, and whenever any luckless wight stepped into it a shout of derision and peals of laughter greeted him, even while a fellow-creature was hanging between heaven and earth a lifeless corpse. Coaches and carts were passing, although there were plenty of other roads, and other disgusting scenes were prevalent ; but that which most bears upon the efficiency or inefficiency of capital punishments was the fact of a man being taken, as the body swung off, in the act of picking a pocket within a few yards of the gallows. He was immediately appre hended, taken before the town Magistrates, and committed to the House of Correction for one calendar month as a rogue and vagabond, the property he took, which was a glove, not having been found upon him, but the taking of it out clearly proved. This shows the effect of a scene like that which we have described, and we are happy in stating that for years past Nottingham has been free from such like, which we never wish to see again. STATE OF TRADE._: --- flie uncertainty which still hangs over the Liverpool cotton market appears to prevent the restoration of confidence here. The de mand for yarn yesterday was rather more limited than on the preceding Tuesday ; and the buyers generally endeavoured to supply themselves at lower prices. In this attempt, however, they were not very successful, the business done being generally at the prices of yesterday week, but those prices were by means so readily obtained as on that day. In goods, also, there was not quite so much doing, with the exception of printing cloth, which was about the same as on yesterday week, though scarcely so good as on Saturday last.—Manchester Guardian.

THE LAW a o o h F ild _ who had been EoDANDs. an inqui r y —l run n over the by Course a g f man's cab, h e l d a few da3 s since before Mr. Baker, a conv ersation took en tl :- place relative to the levying of deodand The Coroner remarked on the singularity of th e law, and illustrated its inconsistency in certain cases. He said that if a man were to fall from the mast-head of a vessel lying in the Thames, and the accident proved fatal, the ship would be liable to for feiture ; but if a similar accident happened on the high seas no deodand could be levied. Ho also observed that if a man were to be walking on the quay of the London Docks, and through some obstruction he fell over into the water, and was drowned, notwithstanding it might be proved that there was blame attached to the Dock Company, a Coroner's jury would be unable to levy a deodand, the property where the accident took place being freehold. In that case it would be neces sary, in • order to inflict a fine, to proceed by action. In cases where death resulted from absolute carelessness or neglect, deodands were useful, inasmuch as they were a sort of punishment to the parties concerned, and tended to make them more careful in future; but in instances where death ensued from unavoidable misfortune, the law of deo dands was one of the most absurd in the statute boot,.

Time and a proper attention to the busiuess of the course will not permit us to state more than that the expecta tions of the numerous visitors at Goodwood-house, and the sojourners of all ranks at Chichester, Bognor, &c. have as yet been effectually blighted by the state of the weather—rain, and plenty of it, day after day, and not the slightest prospect of a change for the better.

The difficulties which the army had experienced with respect to provisions had vanished, and they had been received with open arms. Private intelligence 1 . '07 2 Candahar to the 29th of April reports that Shah Sho?1 ,1 had been crowned with acclamation ; all the Chiefs, with the exception o f th e B ru k zye B rot h ers, hav i ng s i gn ified their adherence to him. Dost Mahomed, it was said, had sent his family to Bokhara. The British army was t° proceed forthwith to Cabool, which it was expected to reach in 22 days. . - This gratifying intelligence had been received at Pesha wur with great rejoicings.

In consequence of the rumours that are abroad that ft vacancy will soon be occasioned in the representation of the Borough of Southwark, by the appointment of Mr. D. \V. Harvey, one of its present representatives, to the situation of Commissioner of the City of London Police, a numerous and respectable deputation of the electors waited yesterday upon Mr. Walter, the late Member for Berkshire, to renew a solicitation which they had made to him before, wilen rr a vacancy was expected from the app o i n t ment o f M r. D W. Harvey to the office of Commissioner of Hackney-coaches , and to request that he would allow himself to be put in nomination as their representative at the earliest occasion on which the electors of Southwark may be called upon to exercise the elective franchise. Mr. Day (according . to the account given by the Times) said that the vast majority of the gentlemen by whom he was accompanied were formerly in the Whig and Radical interest ; but they had resolved not to act upon mere party principles, but to confine the reasons of giving their support to Mr. Walter, to the strenuous and unceasing opposition which he had given upon all oc casions to the infamous Poordaw. Mr. Day then read the requisition. After which numerous questions were put to Mr. Walter ; and a desultory discussion ensued, in which Messrs. flux. ford, Boxe r , D a y, H arr i s , Matthews, Wakeling, and Bright took part. Mr. Harris, himself a Conservat ive , had no doubt that Mr. Walter would obtain the support of the Conservative party ; and Mr. Day said that both parties would support Mr. Walter. " There are three parties there—the Whigs, the Tories, and the Radicals. The union of the Whigs and the Radicals has hitherto kept out the Tories. Now, if there be a clear un d erstanding that the Conservatives will unite with us, between us we will keep out the Whig.'Mr. Walter having previously prepared a written answer to the application, read the document, which related to henretiorfed!outhwark little besides the Poor-law . 13111. Mr. Walter told the gentlemen who waited . on . him that he should abstain from all active proceedings himself, but if he were deemed worthy of confidence on his own terms,. he would do his says) with the . address which 111 ' r them, and with the answers which. duty Th a e s representative d. t e h p e utation t well satisfied (the Times e had given to the numerous questions which they had be had . just read h to put to him.
