DE JOIN VILLE to command the expedition was a matter of serious importance. We have no apprehensions of the kind. The young Admiral goes out with instruc tions from his father, and though he may be very an xious to make a dash and show off among the Moors of Tanjiers and Mogador, the affair will all end in mere display. The Emperor of Moaocco has conducted himself, as far as we can judge from the French papers, with the greatest imprudence ; and cannot expect support from this country. Sir R. PEEL said he knew nothing more of the last affair than what had been communicated by the telegraphic dispatch. The French Government, however, had assured Lord ABERDEEN that nothing was further from their intention than to enter into hostilities with Morocco. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he might, possibly, at another period, call the attention of the House to the subject. TO COUNTRY BOOKSELLERS AND LIBRARIANS.—Those Boo!milers who have not been able TA) procure copies of the NEW NOVEL ".CONINGSBY," by the Author of" Vivian Grey," are informed that A NEW EDITION IS NOW READY FOR DELIVERY; but to prevent disappointment they are requested to forward their orders to their respective Agents on or before the 29th instant. Sir ROBERT PEEL then stated the course which he intended to pursue with respect to the business before the House, for which we refer to the Parliamentary report, because it is impossible, in a summary, to state what is likely to take place. No positive fact was stated. Everything depended on contingencies. The strong Government has lost all its power, and trusts to the chapter of accidents. It would appear, however, that the obnoxious and partial Bill, called the Irish Registration Bill, is to be pressed on the House on Monday. We trust every Liberal Member will be in his place, and fight the battle on this question to the last. Why make Ire land an exception ? Why interfere with the registration of electors in that country, while Eng land and Scotland are to be left as they were by the Reform Bill? While Ireland calls out for a repeal of the union, the British Parliament is doing everything in its power to make that call more effectual. Lord PALMERSTON put a question to Sir JAMES GRAHAM relative to the gaming laws, but the Home" Secretary could give no satisfactory answer. In answer to a question from Mr. B. COCHRANE, relative to the fate of Colonel STODDART and Captain CONOLLY, Sir ROBERT PEEL said that on Thursday or Friday next he would give him the latest informa tion in possession of the Government. Mr. VILLIERS then brought on his motion for a repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. FERRAND moved an amendment, which will be found in the Parliamentary report. This motion occupied the House for the remainder of the evening. The debate was adjourned. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One. The extorted admissions of the Secretary of State for the Home Department touching the violation of private letters passing through the General Post office, under the authority of his warrant to the Post master-General for that purpose, continue to form an absorbing topic of public attention. We are glad that this is so. If the British public did not feel indig nant at the exposures elicited by the motion of the Hon. Member for Finsbnry from the reluctant ac knowledgements of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, we should blush for our countrymen. The sacredness of private communications, contained in sealed letters, has been, ever since the Revolution, a subject of gratulation among all classes of Englishmen, jealous of their own honour, and alive to the eminent reputation of this country for the good faith and integrity of its admi nistrative departments. The dangerous and disgrace ful profligacy of the Revolutionary Government of France was in nothing so execrable as in its matured and wholesale system of letter-violation. From the closing years of the reign of Louis XV. to those of the Emperor NAPOLEON, this political felony had at tained the maximum of its extent, its insolence, and its impunity. Foucur, in these latter days— the unprincipled and unscrupulous FOUCHE— has survived the termination of his natural career, only to live in the recollection of this generation as " the " arch letter-opener, purloiner, eaves-dropper--" the" official burglar of a bureau, " the " seal-breaker, " the " spy upon the thoughts and hearts of social existence in France. Hitherto the crafty ex-Minister of the most nefarious Go. venni - lent which had ever been spawned by political convulsion and anarchy, occupied an individual, ex clusive, isolated, unapproached notoriety. In the year 1844, Sir J. GRAHAM, the Home Secretary in the constitution of a Tory Government, being minded to have a " little go " of his own in the lottery of " Eminent Living Statesmen," put in fbr a chance, and drew—the enviable distinction of a case or two of seal-breaking "a la Foucur," with a warranty for practising in these new arts of a British Minister, under an obscure clause in a forgotten statute of Queen ANNE. This clause, it seems, has been revived by, and smuggled into, the labyrinth of clauses in a " Consolidating" Act passed in the first year of her present MAJESTY. In the House of Lords, however, last night, the Earl of RADNOR, not at all satisfied with the defence attempted for Sir JAMES, on the enactments in question, moved the Peers to address the Throne, praying her MAJESTY to direct to be laid before them the several warrants. which had been issued by that functionary, authorising any letters to be opened at the General Post-office. Although the Noble Earl subsequently withdrew his motion, it led to an animated and very important discus sion, upon which we have a few words to offer. Had the matter been pressed to a division and affirmed, it is evident that their Lordships would have got at the solution of the important question, whether more than one warrant was issued by the Home Secretary in this instance—and what were the specific letters such warrant or warrants authorised and re quired to be opened. Sir J. GRAHAM has hitherto been doggedly silent as to the main points pressed in the interrogatories addressed to him in the House of Commons ; but he is abundantly credulous if he suppose that that silence is not accurately understood by the public. They put their own unhesitating con struction upon it, on the principle that " dum facet clamat." Lord R ADNOR, in propounding his motion, after a very cursory allusion to the complaints of M. MAZZINI and others, stated that he " Was not going into a consideration of the subject as to whether the Secretary of State ought to have this power; his own opinion led him to the conclusion that he ought not —that it ought to be confined to cases in which the security of the State or the safety of the person of the Sovereign re quired such an exercise of it. But it appeared that it had been used for other purposes, as letters of foreigners had been opened and their contents examined-.a thing unheard of before." Now these are precisely the grounds on which all parties should meet the proposal of his Lordship. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in declaring himself op posed to it, remarked " that Parliament had thought fit to entrust the Secretary of State with the power to issue warrants for opening letters of individuals at the Post-office. There could be no doubt of this power ; and it ought to be proved to have been used for an improper purpose before their Lordships made any :inquiry into the matter." May we ask, with all submission to his Grace, how it could be possible to prove the abuse of the power, if the llouse of Commons refused to Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE a Committee of Inquiry, and the House of Lords denied to Lord RA.DNOR the production of these war rants ? Really this sounds like a mere quibble —a fencing with the proposition that was before the Lords—quite unworthy of the usual frankness and simplicity of the Noble Duke. The Earl of TANKERVILLE adduced two precedents, we sup pose in the nature of a plea of justification ; t he one, a warrant in the handwriting of the late CHARLES JAMES Fox, directing all letters to and from foreign ministers in Great Britain to be opened. The other, a simil ar warrant, in the records of the 10 re specting the letters of L or d G EORGE Dome-office, (as w as remarked by Lord BROUGHAM and GORDON.

Daylight View of LONDON in the OLDEN TIME! Painted by Damson and 'Pendia. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the cairn stillness or the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Men 'aye, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT' FIRE OF LONDON, Rs fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic AI t, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit Chat Soutliby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a matchless triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect state, and combining so many arid interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis. Feeding of the Animals at Five—Concert at Six—Conflagration at Dusk. Admittance, One Shilling.

The Duke of WELLINGTON said he had no knowledge of the sub ject himself, but as power was given to the Secretary of State to open letters on certain conditions, he must °PPose the motion. Several other Peers made speeches on the subject, most of them condemning this despotic system, and the motion was ultimately withdrawn. The Charitable Bequests Bill wits read a second Earl of HADDINOTON admitted that no Minister could assume a more dangerous responsibility—but thought Sir JAMES justified by the statute referred to. But Lord CAMPBELL, in an excellent little speech (the constitutional principles of which were so well developed that they cause us to lament their feebler THIS DAY'S NEWS shall be under the painful necessity of commiting him for contempt of Court." AN OLD BAILEY TRIAL, BY ANTICIPATION. The Venerable Judge then sentenced the prisoner to a month's imprisonment, with hard labour, in his own Penitentiary at Islington. advocacy by Lord BROUGHAM), put the whole ques tion in a succinct, intelligible form. " If," said he, "any Member of her Majesty's Government will rise up in his place and declare that upon his own knowledge, there was reason for the exer cise of this power by the Secretary of State, I will not say a single word more about the matter, I will be satisfied." Could any suggestion be fairer—more reasonable—less vexatious. But the challenge was declined by Ministers. What must we think of their case, when they dared not accept it ? Lord CAMP BELL went on to remark, " That both the N.)ble Duke and the Noble First Lord of the Admiralty (Earl of HADDINGTON) had said—each of them—that he knew nothing of this mattter." Now, in his manly and admirable address at the close of the debate, Lord DENMAN, arguing on the constiutional objection to the power, if it existed, and on its political inexpediency from its disuetude, said that, as he read the clause relied on in the Act of ANNE, he inferred that the warrant was meant to be one flowing from the united act of the whole Go vernment under which it might be issued, not from the Secretary of State alone. Yet Sir J. GRAHAM, whose proceedings were " not known" to the Duke of WELLINGTON or others of his colleagues, refused to give any information, and said "his mouth was closed?' Nothing could exceed the force and eloquence with which Lord DENMAN demonstrated the shallow ness of the pretext of his " responsibility' set up by Sir JAMES GRAHAM; and the utter absence of any sufficient ground, in the facts of M. MAZZINI'S case, for the exercise of this abominable power. And, after all, if there be a case to justify the Home Secre "If the Hon. Member for Finsbury could prove that letters had been opened or detained at the General Post-effice, the Act of Parliament was express that any party so opening or detaining them was guilty of a misdemeanour, and was liable to be indicted. If he (Sir James Graham) had so violated the law, he was guilty of a misdemeanor, and could be pro secuted. The legal tribunals of the country would do justice between the humblest individual and the highest civil autho rity. He was amenable to those tribunals, and could be punished either by fine or imprisonment, if he had trans gressed the law."—Vide Sir James Graham's speech in the House of Commons, on Monday night. " The question was, had not Government exceeded and transgressed the letter of the law, and abused the power which the law vested in them? He contended that they had done both these things, and abused the sacred power vested in them by Parliament, of opening the private letters of individuals. If they had not done so, they need not shrink from inquiry before a Committee. Something not un like fraud and forgery had been committed."— Vide Mr. T. Duncombe's speech, on Monday night, in the House of Commons. AIVOICE FROM THE CnowD—lf the whole Ca binet were sentenced to a month's imprisonment, with hard labour, it would be no more than they deserve. The prisoner heard the sentence unmoved, and was immediately taken away in the custody of two officers of the Court, in order to have his head shaved, and be dressed in the usual prison costume. The sentence appeared to give unmingled satisfac. tion to the whole Court, and the "oldest inhabitant" was heard to say, that he never remembered to have witnessed such an ebullition of popular extacy.

SIR JAMES GRAHAM, FOR A MIS DEMEANOUR. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY, AUG. 2, Ism.) In consequence of the loud public disapprobation, expressed generally throughout the country, of the conduct of the Home Secretary, in open ing, or causing to be opened, at the General Pcst-office, numerous private letters of certain individuals, without assigning any reason for such a breach of confidence, the Government, true to their ruling principle of expediency, abandoned all further idea of defending their obnoxious colleague ; and he was accordingly, in deference to the popular wish, put upon his trial this morning, at the Central Criminal Court, on a charge of misdemeanor. The Court was crowded to suffocation; many per sons of rank and , distinction in the political world were present ; and among several old ladies who were accommodated with seats on the Bench, we recog nised our fair Contemporary, the Morning Herald, dressed - in a-bright orange muslin gown with three flounces, who appeared to take the deepest interest in the proceedings, and was visibly affected whenever the evidence bore hard against the unfortunate Home Secretary. At ten o'clock, the Lord Chief Justice (DENMAN) took his seat on the Bench, and immediately after wards the prisoner was brought in, in the custody of two officers of the Court, and placed in the dock. He was dressed in deep mourning, kept his eyes con stantly fixed on the ground, and seemed to feel deeply the disgraceful predicament in which he stood. After the names of the jury had been called over, and each had answered to his name, the usual oath was administered, after which Mr. HOBBS opened the pleadings, and Mr. Donns stated the case. The Learned Gentleman began by observing that " unac customed as he was to public speaking," and trem blingly alive to a sense of his own deficiencies, he felt that he stood in need of all the forbearance of the Court, which he trusted therefore would be generously accorded him. He then proceeded at consikrable length to detail the facts of the case, as they appeared afterwards in evidence, and concluded by observing that the law was singularly explicit and luminous on the subject of opening private letters at the Post-office, for it had been expressly laid down in stat. 4, George 111., c. 64,257, that he or she who wilfully and with malice aforethought opened, or caused to be opened, private notes, letters, missives, epistles, communica tions, addresses, or petitions of divers or every kind, whether written in folio, or outsides, on note paper, on parchment, or on plain, whitey-brown, with or without envelopes, dated or undated, post-paid, or otherwise, stamped or unstamped, at the General Post-office, or any other office, messuage or tene ment, public or private, large or small, or middle sized, within his Britannic Majesty's dominions, sub jected himself or herself to the penalties of misde meanor. The Learned Gentleman having stated his case, several clerks at the Post-office were called in to prove that they had received orders from the prisoner at the bar to open certain private letters at the Gene ral Post-office, which accordingly they did ; two foreign gentlemen also proved the fact that their letters had been frequently opened, and resealed with grea skill and nicety, so as to avoid the possibility of de• tection.

At present the mere wording of the clause will not sustain the conduct of the Home Secretary—for it is evident the words require a specific warrant for each letter opened. Only one warrant issued; more than one letter was opened. The public feeling deniands, and will be satisfied with, nothing less than, some responsible and trust worthy explanation of the motives that actuated the Home Secretary in the course he has adopted. They will never consent to be appeased by the half-defying half-indifferent tone of his own assurances on the matter. Nor are we aware of any passages in the public career of such a Minister that can entitle him to anticipate success . for such assurances.

We shall give the particulars with the judgment. QUEEN'S BENCH. --.(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco after Term.) THE QUEEN CN TIIE PROSECUTION OF THE BLACXWALL RAIL WAY COMPANY, V. THE COMMISSIONERS YJF THE LAND TAX FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.—MANDAMUS. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained for a mandamus, calling upon the defendants to hear an appeal against their assessment, made by the applicants, and to examine witnesses in support of that appeal. The Railway Company had appealed against the assess ment, and defendants had refused to hear them by counsel, but had heard them by their solicitor, who proposed to call witnesses to prove the value of the property. This the Commissioners refused to do, relying on the valuation of their assessor. Cause was shown against the rule to• day, and it was contended that this was not such a case of re fusing as warranted the interference of the Court. The Com missioners had in fact heard the appeal, and if the parties felt themselves aggrieved they might have gone to the sessions. Lord DRNIKAN, in giving judgment, said that it could not be contended that the defendants had not heard the appeal. The refusal was an irregularity, but not such as would justify the Court in saying that the appeal had not been heard. The rule must, therefore, be discharged. We have intelligence from Lisbon, to the 20th, announcing the temporary retirement of the Minister of the Interior, Senhor CABRAL, on account of im paired health, and of the President of the Council, the Duke of TERCEIRA being charged, during the retirement of Senhor CABAL, with the duties of his office. Affairs are, according to all accounts in a very unsatisfactory state. There was no prospect of the Cortes being summoned, and several of the journals, in consequence, seriously urge the people to refuse to pay taxes. The wine trade was more depressed than ever. Accounts from Madrid of the 18th state that the Minister of Finance, and the public creditors had come, to an understanding respecting the price at which the New Three per Cent. Stock should be issued. The creditors agreed to accept it at 35, and deliver up the bills and other securities received from the Go vernment. EXCHEQUER. —(THIS DAY.) Sittings at Nisi Prius, Westminster, before the LORD Cif= BARON and a Special Jury.) The Three per Cents. closed at 27/1 for cash, and 28i at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 20 7-16ths at 60 days. BRITTEN' V. KEELING. The Court, this morning, was densely crowded the momem it was opened, great curiosity being excited to hear the de tails of this case. It was an action for the recovery of damages from the defendant for alleged criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The Solicitor-General was leading counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Fitzroy Kelly for the defendant. Before, however, the pleadings were opened, Mr. Kelly rose and said, he appeared on behalf of the defendant, but being anxious as much as possible to spare the feelings of the par ties to this most unhappy business, he had advised those who instructed him, to consent to a verdict being taken for the plaintiff, with 3,0001. damages. Such verdict was entered accordingly. The intelligence from Morocco has caused mush excitement at Paris, and most of the Opposition journals call upon the Governmnnt to take prompt and decisive steps to vindicate the honour of France. The National. as might be expected, is peculiarly warlike. " War," it says, "is not declared against us, it is actually waged, and whilst you are idly talking, ABD-EL-KADER is kindling the fire of fanati cism, recruiting and re-organising his army, and you Will presently see him attack you, and stir up in Algiers the tribes that have submitted to your rule. Every day that is lost strips you of a part of your power, for we repeat what we said the other day; it is not only the Emperor of Moßocco that you will strike by carrying war to the heart of his states and bombarding some of his towns on the coast; it is throughout Algeria that those blows will be felt; it is your domination that you will strengthen over all the Arabs. Force and victory, such are the signs of the will 'of Heaven unto all nations; and vic tory is not enough—the rapidity of the chastisement must stifle at their birth the elements of rebellion. It is AB-EL-KADER that you will pursue and overtake at Fez and Tangier. You will settle your affairs afterwards with England, but at this hour it is war— war after two provocations, and war on our territory. Will M. GUIZOT at length understand it ? or will he again ask the advice of Lord COWLBY Pei According to accounts from Toulon of the 20th the greatest activity had been exerted in getting the ex pedition ready. The Prince de JOLNVILLE ar rived there on the morning of that day, and after receiving the official authorities, he went on board the Suffren, which carries his flag. On his being seen afloat, the salvos were fired from all the ships in the roadstead. They were also dressed, and their yards manned, the sailors hailing him with acclamations of " Vive le Roi." At one o'clock all the ships took in their colours, and the flag of his Royal Highness was substituted on hoard the Suffren for the royal standard. The wind was favourable, and the squadron was to sail next day. The PRINCE, it is said, had received orders to strike a heavy blew, but at the same time to take the advice of M. DE NIoN, the French Consul-General at Tangier. His plan is to destroy all the sea ports of Morocco, and if that should not be sufficient, an army will be sent with orders to march upon Fez. The vote passed by the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, in opposition to the Government plan for the construction of railways, had also caused some excitement. After the Chamber rose, a Cabinet Council was held at the residence of Marshal SOVLT and on Sunday another was held at Neuilly, at which the KING presided. On Monday the Chamber as sembled in large numbers, and the Minister of Fi nance, supported by the Ministers of the Interior and Public Works, moved that the consideration of the question whether the Government should lay down the rails be postponed till next session. The motion was twice put to the vote, but as the PRESIDENT could not decide which party had the majority, the ballot was taken, but the result was not known at the hour of post. Little doubt however remained that the Mi nistry would have a majority, as a previous vote had been carried by ritriprity of 28, rejecting the sub sequent clauses of M. DE RUMILLY'S,SIDendMent. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.): (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) The cases which came before the Court this morning were devoid of interest except to the parties concerned. The case. for the prosecution having closed, Mr. TOMKINS, in defence, insisted that: the prisoner was justified by Qfficial usage, in what he had done. He had every reason to believe that the correspond ence which he had caused to be opened, was of a highly seditious and treasonable character—that it contained the heads of an atrocious conspiracy on the part of the writers either to set the Thames on fire— blow up the new Houses of Parliament with gun powder—or pull down the four-and -twenty houses of ill-fame in the Almonry, greatly to the injury of the temporal interests of the Dean and Chapter of West minster. Believing thus, he (the Learned Gentle man) contended that the prisoner had only acted the part of a wise and provident Minister ; and if on perusing the letters in question, he had found himself mistaken in his suspicions, that did not alter the case_ for he had clearly acted for the best, and with a view only to the public interests. On the conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's speech, the prisoner was called on to state what he had to say in defence, on which he observed, laying his hand on his heart, that his conscience was pure, and acquitted him of all blame. At the mention of the word " conscience " a loud laugh rung through the Court, and was re-echoed by the crowd in the street, on which the venerable Judge exclaimed, with evident emotion, that if such indecent conduct were repeated, he should give orders for the Court to be cleared. Witnesses were then called to character.—Sir Ro- BENT PEEL, who was the first witness examined, stated that he had known th e pr i soner at the bar for s many years, and believed him to be a thoroughly honest man—that is to say, as honest as a mats could reasonably be expected to be, who was a member of a Conservative Cabinet. Mr. HOBBS—I fear that's not saying much for him Sir ROBERT. Sir ROBERT PEEL, with considerable embarrass ment—Perhaps not, but we are all the creatures of circumstances. Lord JOHN RUSSELL examined—Had known the prisoner at the bar for a very considerable period, and while he acted with him as a Minister, had always found him attentive to his official duties. He was also exceedingly sober and well-behaved. Cress-examined by Mr. HOBBS—Has your Lord ship found no reason lately to alter your opinion of him ? Take time for consideration. Remember you are on your oath ! Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I am sorry to say I have. Since he quitted our service, and put on the Tam worth livery, he has acted towards us in the rudest and coarsest manner possible ; and I have no hesita tion in declaring it as my fixed belief that he will betray whoever trusts him. Sir ROBERT PEEL, with warmth—He will not betray me, for I have never trusted him ; but I beg leave most respectfully to add, that I think him a per fectly honest man, for if I were to order him to swear black was white he would do so, and if that is not exemplary conduct in a sefrant, I don't know what is , COURT OF REVIE W-(THIS DAY.' (Before Sir J. K. L. BRUCE.) His Honour sat this morning as Chief Judge in Bank ruptcy, and disposed of several cases which involved no poin of public interest. MAR YLEBOiit.—Tisi DAY.) James Timms, a bargeman, was charged with having stolen a quantity of coals from a wharf on the Paddington canal. It had been often complained that coals had been taken by persons passing up an d d own i n b oats, and police-constable persons passing up and down in boats, and Police-constable Ilumbury, 102 D, while on duty there this morning, observed the prisoner very cooly taking the quantity of firing he re quired from a heap of coals on the bank. He (witness) went up the towing-path and took him into custody. The prisoner denied having stolen them ; but he was fully committed for trial. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Whitfield, carman, in the employ of Messrs. Car penter, of the Greenwich Steam-mills, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with stealing a sack of flour; and John Har vey, living in the New-cut, was charged with receiving the flour, knowing it to have been stolen. On the premises of the last-named prisoner two waggon-loads of stolen property were discovered. It appeared that at a late hour the preceding night, Brooks, an active policeman of the L division, took Whitfield into custody in the act of delivering a sack of flour at the other prisoner's house. The firm having been apprised of the cir cumstance, it was then ascertained that their carman had no instructions to leave any flour at the premises of the other prisoner, and when they were subsequently examined, up wards of three waggon-loads of stolen property, consisting of timber and furniture, was discovered. The prisoners declined saying anything at that stage of the inquiry, and the Magistrate remanded them until Saturday, refusing to accept bail for Harvey's appearance, George Rookwood, a potman in the service of Mr. Herring, landlord of the George Canning, was charged with plunder ing his employer of upwacdp of 401. The prisoner was in the habit of delivering beer and spirit. to his master's customers ; and as Mr. Herring was about to quit the premises, he discovered that his man had received money to the above amount, for which he had not accounted. When he was taxed with the offence he immediately ab sconded, and was taken into custody the preceding night. The prisoner was remanded. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. -(THIS DAY.

The evidence to character having been disposed of, the Learned Judge summed up the facts of the case, when the jury, without quitting the box, found the prisoner Guilty. His LORDSHIP then proceeded to pass sentence in the following terms :—" Prisoner at the bar, it is now my painful duty to pass upon you the sentence of the law for a crime which strikes at the root of all public and private morality. It is not my intention to add to the poignancy of your feelings by any lengthened remarks on the heinousness of your con duct, but I would just venture to remind you that what is morally wrong can never be politically right." Sir RODER T PEEL, with emphasis—" I beg most respectfully to dispute the axiom of the Learned Judge. There's my Income-tax, for instance, which, though morally wrong, as all parties admit, is, never theless, politically right, inasmuch as it keeps me in place, and returns five millions to the Exchequer."

RRMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—Mr.WiIIiam Back house, of Darlington, who (lied so suddenly in the Meeting house of the Society of Friends there about a week since, had arranged to go out with his nephew by the Manchester steamer to Hamburgh on the voyage in which she was lost. It was his intention to proceed from Hamburgh to Norway on a missionary tour. There is every reason to believe that his sudden death was the means of saving his nephew as well as himself from the melancholy end of those who perished with that unfortunate vessel. —Liver pool Journal. COUNSEL TO THE IRISH GOVERNMENT.—The office of counsel in London to the Irish Government has recently become vacant, in consequence of the death of Mr. O'Hanlon, its late possessor. The Government has , declared its inten tion of conferring it upon an Irishman, called to the English bar, and resident in London. We understand that this limi tation has considerably diminished the number of candidates for the vacant appointment ; and that out of this number Mr. Perceval Banks, of Gray's Inn, who in 1838 published a very able pamphlet on the subject of controverted elections, is con sidered to stand the best chance of success. Though decidedly a Tory in politics, he has had the good fortune to conciliate the friendly feelings even of his political opponents; and no appointment is better calculated to please all parties in Ire land than that of an individual who, like Mr. Banks, never allows his political feelings to interfere with his dative as a courteous gentleman.—Time. S'OItEZON. The Prince de Joinville arrived at Toulon on the 20th, and was to sail next day in command of the expedition against Morocco. A new French settlement has been established at Grand Besse° ' on the weste r n coas t o f Af r i ca. The Minister of Fi nances has decided that it shall enjoy all the commercial ad vantages granted to Assinia and Gabon by the ordonnance of 26th November last. The Archduchess of Parma, Maria Louisa, arrived at Vienna on the 14th, on a visit to the Imperial Family. The Augsburgh Gazette states that the Duke de Bordeaux has notified the death of the Duke d'Angouleme to all the Courts of Europe, and accompanied the notification with a new protest against the change made in the order of succession to the French Throne; adding, however, that he is very far from contemplating any step which could compromise the peace of Europe. He looks forward, he says, to the course of events. The same journal states that the Duke d'Angouleme bequeathed his income to his widow for life. The capital is left—two-thirds to the Duke de Bordeaux, and one-third to Mademoiselle de Berry. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Barcelona, June 17, which states that General Narvaez and Mr. Bulwer are closely engaged in negotiations for a treaty of commerce between England and Spain, and that the French Ambassa dor supports the British Ambassador in the project. It would appear, therefore, that if a treaty be concluded the in terests of France will not be neglected. The British steamer Vesuvius has left Barcelona for Gib raltar, where she was to remain at the disposal of the Gover nor during the operations about to take place on the coast of Morocco. The French brig of war Cassare sailed from Bar celona for Tangier on the 14th. LAW AND POLICE. In the Court of Exchequer a Mr. Wood brought an action against a police-officer of the name of Ledbitter, to recover compensation in damages for assault and ill-treatment at last year's Doncaster met* Plaintiff purchased a ticket for one guinea, which was the admission to the betting-ring. This ring is formed by railings, enclosing a space in front of the grand stand, towards the race-course. Into this space plaintiff entered, but was shortly called upon to withdraw, under au thority from Lord Eglinton, to whom the soil belonged. Plaintiff refusing, defendant who acted as a police-officer, was sent to execute the order. A scuffle ensued in the presence of the company then assembled. Plaintiff was ejected, and re ceived the injuries which he now sought to be indemnified for. The jury, after a quarter of as hour spent in deliberation, re turned a verdict for the defendant on the pleas of justification, and for the plaintiff on those whose which did not affect the main question in the cause. At Bow-street, the young man, Sackville Sackville, alias Charles Davies, alias twenty other different names, was brought up before Mr. Jardine for further examination, charged with having forged a bill, purporting to be drawn by Lord Edward Howard, the second son of the Duke of Norfolk, and accepted by the Hon. F. Cavendish, of Compton-Lodge, in Sussex, for 2501., with intent to defraud Mr. Rendall. The particulars of the application of the prisoner to Mr. Rendall to discount the bills for him have already appeared. The additional facts showed the barefaced and impudent manner in which the 'prisoner had carried out his deceptions. He was again remanded for a week. Michael Leonard, an expert young thief, of fifteen years of age, who stood committed for trial since Friday last, on a charge of inflicting five wounds upon the person of Elizabeth Phillips, with intent to murder her, was again brought before Mr. Henry, at Lambeth -street, in order to have the evidence of the surgeon, who attended the injured female, taken in his presence. He was fully committed. At Union-hall, Peter Nelson and Mary Bennett, were brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with stealing 201., and a quantity of clothes, principally consisting of female ap parel, the property of David Stone, whose wife had recently absconded with the former prisoner. After an extended ex amination, the Magistrate remanded both the prisoners until the officer succeeds in obtaining some portion of the com plainant's property. c OTTIZT-TASEZONALIBX.E. Their Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Sutherland, and many other noble and distinguish e d p ersonages, h ave intimated their in tention of being present at the performance of Mondelssohn's oratorio, St. Paul, at Exeter Hall, on Friday evening. On Saturday the Duke and Duchess of Richmond enter tained at dinner, at their house in Portland-place, the Earl and Countess? of March, Lord and Lady Templemore, the Earl of Mulgrave, Lord William Lennox, Mr. and Mrs. C. Mills, Mr. and Miss Greville, the Hon. Lewis Grant, &c. Sir Richard Puleston and family have left Norfolk-street, Park-lane, for Flintshire. Mr. and Mrs. Wombwell entertained Sir Bellingham and Lady Graham, Mr. and Lady Caroline Maxse, Colonel and Mrs. Ashwith, Lord Ossulston, Lord Belfast, Lord Cantilupe, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and a large party at dinner, on Monday evening. Earl Ferrars will shortly lead to the altar Miss Chichester, daughter of Lord and Lady Edward Cluchester, and grand daughter of the Marquis of Donegal. 2 WIXSOZIXamiIITZIOUS.
