LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1844. The House of Commons met at Twelve o'clock, when a great number of Bills were read a third time and passed. Most of them were Bills of little im portance to the public. On the House re-assembling at Five o'clock, Sir C. NAPIER put some questions to Sir R. PEEL rela tive to the strange proceedings of the French at Ota heite. Sir R. PEEL said the Government had re ceived dispatches from that island relating to the events which had taken place, and he had no hesitation in saying that a gross outrage, accompanied by a gross indignity had been committed by the French officer, on the station. The British Government has lost no time in making such communications to the Cabinet of LOUIS PHILIPPE as the circumstances required. lie had no doubt the French Government would make the necessary reparation for such conduct. Lord INOESTRE moved for copies of the correspon dence which had taken place between the Govern ment and Captain WARNEa.relative to his invention. Sir R. PEEL did not oppose the motion, and entered at considerable length into the communications which had taken place between Captain WARNER and the official authoriti e s, as well as to the experiments which had been made. The speech cannot be abridged,but evidently the Right Hon. Baronet had DO great faith in the discovery, and stated some facts which Captain NVARNIt must answer. ,Aftex a few observations from other Members, cer tain of the papers were ordered. The Insolvent Debtors Bill was read a second time ; to be committed on Friday.' Mr. GIBSON moved that the petition of Mr. JOHN HEATHCOTE, who was dismissed from his situation of superintendent of factories, on the charge of having written an anonymous letter to It, ...ERnAND, be taken, into consideration. This gave rise to some discussion, and an explanation from Sir J. GRAHAM. On a division the motion was lost by a majority o f seven. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the ,House adjourned at a Quarter before Twelve o'clock. If LOUIS PMILIPPZ and his Prime Minister, M. GIIIZOT—both men of great tact, prudence, and ex perience —do not become more circumspect in their appointment of officers to distant stations, we fear the peace of the world cannot be much longer pre -served. Every now and then an escapade is com mitted by some half-fledged Prince, or junior officer — . and s but very lately, a veteran Admiral was equally guilty—circumstances which lead to one of two con eluii4l4, e ith er t h at no proper selection is made, or that the Xing of the -PazNeff it not displeased to see a little bruaquerie displayed by 'his son's and his I favourite officers. Believing that the able and far- r geeing Prince bes rr:, wish to embroil him self with this count ry, and that he looks upon a fri-ndly alliance with England as the st safe-guard of his dynasty ; we must con clude that the objectionable acts of the French officers, 1 which have occurred within a few years are to be ascribed to their own incapacity or vain conceit. The Prince DE JOINVILLE committed himself in a most extraordinary manner on the coast of Mexico, by arresting a pilot on board of an English vessel of war. He, of course, was obliged to apologise for his ignorance, and the affair was hushed up. Then came the affair of Admiral D UPETIT THOUARS, which was no less irregular, and at once disowned. The Bri tish Government rested satisfied with the explana tions of M. GUIZOT, and trusted that there would be no occasion to complain a third time, when unfor tunately a still more atrocious breach of the law of nations is committed by MM. BROUAT and D'Au- BIGNEY—the one a naval officer, and the. other the acting protector of the Otaheite islands. The British Consul is made a prisoner, treated as a felon, and, after a disgraceful arrest and lengthened incarcera tion is banished from the island. We know not what his offences are, further than from the laconic an nouncement of M. D'AUBIGNEY :—" A French sen tinel was attacked on the night of the 2a. and 3d of March. In reprisal, I have caused to be seized one PRITCHARD, the only daily mover and instigator of the disturbances of the natives. His property shall be answerable for all damage occasioned to- our esta blishments by the insurgents; and if French blood is spilt, every drop shall recoil on his head." Such language is insulting, and totally indefensible. It is the language of a man who thinks himself per fectly safe, and may play any pranks in such .a remote region. The French Government cannot defend it. They must make ample amends for the outrage, not only by disowning the conduct of their agent, but by degrading him, or bringing him to trial for what Sir ROBERT PEEL last night justly described:as a gross outrage, accompanied by a gross indignity. The people of this country will not be satisfied with an apology. France invaded Algiers, because the French Consul, in an altercation with the Dey, re ceived a slap on the cheek with a fan—no great annoyance in a hot climate—while the British Consul is arrested, imprisoned, and banished. We sincerely regret this unfortunate and mad pro ceeding. England has no wish to go to war with France, but France must teach her agents better manners, more knowledge of the laws of civilised countries, and more respect for a nation that she knows will never brook an insult. There are other circumstances, however, but too well calculated to rouse the jealousy of Englishmen. France has occu pied a vast extent of the African coast, on the plea that a French Consul was insulted ; but, not content with that she is advancing towards the Straits of Gibraltar. She is at war with Morocco, and in a few days we may hear that Tanjiers and Tetuan are occupied by French troops. These are all sus picious circumstances ; and if Lord ABERDEEN does not soon clear up the mystery, perhaps he may find some morning that Lord PALMERSTON and Sir C. NAPIER will relieve him from his labours. One thing is certain. England can allow no great maritime nation to form settlements and build for tresses along the Straits of Gibraltar. Her posses sions in the Mediterranean and in India are of too much importance to allow such an aggression. We trust the French Government will see the real rosi tion in which they are placed by their agents, and do justice to a country which is anxious to remain a peace—but peace on honourable terms. Accounts from Madrid of the 23d state that the Court was expected to return to the capital on the 6th or 7th of August. The two Ministers, who had gone to Barcelona, were to return on the 28th of July. The Three per Cents. were done at 26} for cash, and 26i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 181 at 60 days. The Paris papers bring no intelligence of import ance. There had been no later arrival from the African coast, but we learn, from another source, that the Prince DE JoraviLLE's squadron is not yet wanted at Tangiers. It sailed from Cadiz, as we stated yes terday, for that port, and after a very brief stay re turned on the same day to its former station. Some of the Opposition journals contain articles on the speeches made by Lord ABERDEEN and Lord CLA RENDON, relative to the slave-trade, but we find in them nothing worth remark, unless it be a less rabid tone towards this country. "It may be seen from the speech of the Foreign Secretary," says the National, " that the British Government considers it necessary to take into account the just irritation produced throughout France by the inquisitorial proceedings of the British navy, but it will not for that reason renounce the right of search ; and wishes merely to organize it in such a manner as to avoid complaints." On Monday, the third and last day of the July fetes, the Bourse was closed, and also the Post-office at half-past twelve, so that there are few particulars of the proceedings. They were likely, however, to pass off without any disturbance. The following are extracts from the papers : " The merchants of Paris La who trade with Plata, either as exporters, commission agents, or manufacturers, to the number of 117, have (says the Constitutionnel) signed a peti tion calling the attention of the Chambers to the deplorable situation of the French at Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, and the prolonged interruption of the French commerce in that part of America. " The Globe mentions a report that the British Cabinet has obtained an important concession from the Austrian Go vernment. viz., the reduction of a penny in the pound on the duty on cotton threads. " 'The Provincial Council of Liege has voted a petition to the King of the Belgians, deploring that his Cabinet did not prevent the late Prussian Decree, whereby Belgian iron is struck with a prohibitive duty of fifty per cent. The Council declares that this duty deprives Belgium of the markets of the Zollverein for the benefit of the English, who alone (says the Council) from the cheapness of their produce, may, notwithstanding its inferior quality, supply Germany with iron. "A letter from Dresden states that some disturbance took place on the 20th, among the workmen on the Saxo-Silesian railroad. They were paid for their work as had been agreed on by contract, but they found the sum too small, and about a hundred entered the city, and collected in front of the hours of the contractor. The next day the same scene took place, but with tb.e addition of some disorders; a tavern was pil laged and torn down." MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—There has been a considerable increase in the number of deaths during the last week, the total number being 1,066, while during the previous week it was only 896 —average 900. The increase has taken place chiefly in deaths from scarlatina, small pox, and diarrhoza ; of the 40 persons who died of small pox 35 had not been vac cinated. The following is the analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Falls, two cases ; wound, one case (suicide); swallowing pins, one case ; hanging, two cases (suicides) ; drowning, fifteen cases, of which six were accidental in bathing, and one suicide; and suffocation in bed, one case. Total, twenty males and two females. The thermometer was highest on Thursday, having reached the unusual height of 85.1, and lowest on Monday, 53.7 deg. The barometer, with the exception of two days, was below 30, while the fall of rain is marked nil. There must be some defect in these observations. PREPARATIONS FOR A GRAND FETE AT DIEPPE:-.. BRIGHTON, TUESDAY EVENING.—We learn by the arrival of the General Steam Navigation . Company's packets from Dieppe, that the Dieppois are making the most extensive preparations to celebrate the erection of a statue to the memory of Admiral Duquesne. The King of the French has accepted an invitation from the Dieppe authorities to be present at the ceremony, which is to take place at the latter end of next month. The fete would have taken place earlier, but the King is desirous of waiting till the accouchement of the Princess de Joinville, which is expected in about a fortnight. We understand there will 'be three days' rejoicing. All the spare troops from the north of France are to be present, and several ships of war are ex pected in the roads to salute his Majesty on his arrival. Steamers will run daily between Brighton and Dieppe during August and September. BRIGHTON, TUESDAY, Six O'CLOCK, P.M.—Soon after twelve o'clock this morning a stiff breeze sprung up, and the sea was considerably agitated, and in the course of the afternoon the hull of the John o' Gaunt, the vessel de stroyed by Captain Warner, was seen drifting with the wind. Hundreds of persons followed its progress down Channel, and at this hour a large portion of the devoted vessel is drifting juSt off the Chain-pier, and in the course of an hour will, in all probability,' be on shore. There are thousands of persons on the beach, anxiously waiting to examine the hull of the ship. Captain Pechell's feats'respecting the danger to vessels going down Channel will nose, of course, be removed. DETBRMINED SUICIDIL—On Tuesday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Camden Head - , Camden-street, kitchen hntec artist,hs Sunday nnr deceaseded sb Islington, on the body of John Bradley, aged 24, late an stated resembling attention t t h he a t e a o t u w h o a a l is f n - gpaosft attracted t a h i r r s o'clock ge ian'esgnvioeaaintnseid2nir'goeC,rsd,uemhmbeiland-row, Islington.

OVERLAND MAIL The Indian Mail arrived at Marseilles the 29th July, bringing news from Bombay to the 19th June, and from China to the Ist May. The fact of Lord Ellenborough's renal was known at Bombay the 6th June, on which an express was immediately dispatched to Calcutta. His Lordship woad have known his recal, it was expected, by the 15th. The assembly of the Beloochee chiefs passed offmost orderly, but the result come to is not yet known. The revolution in the Punjaub has as yet had no further consequences than the defeat and murder o? Ittur Sing. The district of Boorbampore has been taken pos session of without resistance, and has, it appears, been restored to the Mahrattas. NEWS FROM CHINA. The populace of Canton rose against the quarter where the factories are situated, but the tumult was promptly put down. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE KING OF PRUSSIA. PARIS, TUESDAY, JULY 30. The 26th of July, at the moment when the King of Prussia was about to set out on a journey, an assassin, named Tscheck, burgomaster at a little village some leagues from Berlin, fired a pistol. The ball glanced off the King's breast, without doing him any mischief. The King continued his journey. The assassin is arrested. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The English Stocks closed without any animation, Consols being 991 4. The Canada Debentures were done at 112/; and East India Bonds under 1,0001. at 965. premium. Spanish Active Bonds realised 224 i; the Three per Cents., 331; Mexican, 36 to 1; and Brazilian, New, 82i. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham and Gloucester were 8 to 10; ditto New, 9+ to 91; Dublin and Cashel, 2i to i; Edin hurgh and Glasgow, 15; Great Western, Half, 34i; Birmingham, 131 to Midland, 6to 8; Newcastle and Darlington, 181; ',South-Eastern, 54 ; York and North Midland, 61; Orleans and Tours, 1; Paris and Orleans, IBi s ; and Paris and Rouen, 18i premium.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) A very small business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yes terday, but there was no change in prices. Sales 2,000 bales, 100 Pernam, 53d to 6d ; 200 Surat, at 3d to 33d ; and the rest American, at 33d to 53d per lb.—The Share Market con tinued rather brisk.

The Committee of the South American Bondholders have had a further correspondence with the agent of the Govern ment of New Granada, M. Mosquera, resident in this country, upon the subject of the too long delayed payment of the interest due from New Granada, upon that portion of the Colombian Loans assigned by consent to the republic before named. It will be recollected that so far back as March, 1842, an agreement was entered into by the agents of the bondholders, under which terms were named for the settlement of their claims, but up to the present moment not a dollar has yet been handed over to the foreign creditors of New Gre nada. M. Mosquera admits that he has received no orders from his Government to pay over any sums to those who have so long standing claims on that country. It is not, we believe, to be denied, but that there are some assets here, but at the came time it can hardly be credited that a sufficient sum has yet been received to pay anything like a • dividend to the holders of I New Granada Bonds, the dividends upon which have been in arrear since the month of May, 1826. Still it is conceived that M. Mosquera might, without a breach of his official duty, have told the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders the actual amount that had been received by him, in aid of a fund for paying a portion of the interest upon the stock allocated to the Republic. A meeting of the shipping interests is at the present moment being held at the Hall of Commerce, to receive a report from the Committee of the Ship-owners Society touching various matters connected with this im portant branch of the mercantile marine. At pre sent we are only enabled to say that the attention of all those interested in ships, colonies, and commerce,should be directed to the report which was brought forward this afternoon. A meeting of the South Sea Proprietors is now being held to consider the propriety of accepting the terms of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, as they have already appeared in The Sun. The proprietors are ready to agree to the first proposition—the Guarantee Fund completion—but will take time to decide upon another point—the future management of the South Sea Stock, and Annuities—and the countenance of the Company should be given before coming to a definite conclusion. The Directors of the Bank of England are ready to take the management of the South Sea Stock at the reduced charge. The Funds are dull to-day. The Tahiti affair affords a pretext for keeping the market a little fiat, though an amicable arrangement is generally predicted. Consols are 99a A for Money and Time. Exchequer Bills obtain 775. to 795. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 200 to A. The Com inissioners have taken 10,000/. Reduced Three per Cents. at 1001. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 102 to 102 i, and the Reduced 103 to A. The Foreign Bonds continue to wear a heavy appearance. Spanish Five per Cents. are 22,4 3, and the Three per Cents. 33i to 33i. Portuguese Converted obtain 441 to 43i. Mexi can Deferred are 16, Colombian 13i, and Brazilian 84k. Buenos Ayres Stock is 36 ; Belgian Bonds realise 1031, and Dutch Five per Cents. 101 i to 1011. The Railway Shares have been rather more fluctuating, on account of the settlement, but generally they are well sup ported. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 30.—We have again had a good business, without much alteration in prices.

A deputation from the Irish Society of London, about to visit their estates in Londonderry, had an interview with Lord Eliot on Saturday, upon the subject of the Lough Foyle fishery aggressions. THE FLEETS IN THE MEDITER RAKE AN. GIBRALTAR, JULY 21.—Nothing very remarkable has taken place in this part of the world since my last communi cation. The squadron of the Prince de Joinville has been at Cadiz, or the neighbourhood, where it remains still; the Prince himself having once returned to Tangier, and having communicated with his Consul, went back to the squadron. It appears that Mr. hay, our Consul-General in Barbary, who left Tangier in the Vesuvius, for Mogador, on his way to Morocco, as I mentioned in my last, was obliged to stay at Mogador till the Emperor's permission for his proceeding slmuld arrive, for without such permission nobody can be' allowed to travel. The Rubis French steamer returned within the last few days from Mogador, and brings the news that Mr. Hay did not set out for Morocco till the 10th, and therefore it may be yet some days before anything important is heard. In the meantime it must be considered as looking well that the Moorish Consul • here received a letter from Mo rocco, vid Tangier, informing him that, for the purpose of being nearer the Algerine frontier, and therefore having his orders better obeyed by his' people there, the Emperor was about to set out immediately for Fez and Mequinez, the one being but a half-day's journey from the other, and the latter more properly the rendezvous for large assemblages of troops in that part of the emire, and it may now be reckoned upon that he is upon his journey. Though the distance from Mo rocco to Fez be but nine days' journey, the Emperor will pro bably make it twenty, as he only travels for three or four hours on each day. The Moorish Consul states, that on such movements the Cadis of the different districts furnish their quotas of cavalry, so that he thinks the Emperor will have nothinc , short of, 100,000 of that force at Fez, and Mequinez, 5,000, being splendid blacks, quite superior to those usually seen, and such as astonished the officers of this garrison, who saw some of them at 'rangier some years ago. The Moorish cavalry are always quite independent of a commissariat ; indeed, every man is his own commissariat, and manages matters thus for himself:—Preparatory to the march he gets a quantity of wheat toasted by his family, this pounded with a portion of dates and butter, is formed into a mass, of which about 14lbs. are put into a prepared leather bag, which he slings on his shoulder; and this quantity an swers for his consumption for 20 days. It seems an exaggeration to speak of 100,000 cavalry, unless it be considered that a young man of 30 is often the father of 10 boys, each brought up to horse and long gun from an early age ; indeed, a boy mastering a horse at the age of eight is common. The following ships of war are in the bay of Gibraltar:— Her Majesty's ships Caledonia, Albion, and Warspite. The Danish frigates Gefion and Thetis. The Norwegian frigates Freia a n d J osephine, and a sloop of war. The Norwegian frigate Josephine has the Prince Oscar on board. • THE NEW ASYLUM FOR INFANT ORPHANS. The first election took place on Monday last, at the Hall of Commerce, and the friends of Liberal principles, who have seceded from the "exclusive instituti on ," rallied in large numbers, and with much spirit, roun d the New Asylum. The object of the two institutions might be thought the same, but there is this important difference :—The one receives children of all denominations to educate them accord ing to the strictest discipline of the Church o f Eng land ; and the o th er , w hile giving religious instruction, imposes nothing which is not common to Chris tian faith and p rac ti ce , reducing it in all its sim plicity to the cap ac ity of the mind of a child. At eleven o'clock, John Wilks,Esq., was moved to the chair, in the temporary absence of the Lord Mayor. He said, that-it was a source of great delight to him that the Chief Magistrate of the City of London had recognised the demands of the great principle of religious liberty as connected with the very existence of this second institu tion for the relief of the infant orphan; and that, with Christian feeling, he had desired to become associated with a charity thus based upon a noble and catholic foundation. He (Mr. Wilks) felt that he need say no thing to urge to vigorous effort and generous subscrip tions of money the numerous friends around him. The Rev. Dr. Reed declared the poll to be open. At two o'clock the Lord Mayor arrived ; and, expressing his regret that he had not been present at the opening of the election, urge d upon a ll present to be active in pressing the distinctive claims of the new Charity upon the notice of the true friends of the orphan in the City of London and throughout the country, feeling persuaded, as he did, that the public required but to be aware of Facts, to induce them to support so worthy and righteous a cause. Dr.: Reed announced the names of the five success ful candidates, one of whom had come in under peculiar circumstances, having been withdrawn from another charity, voluntarily throwing up 8,000 votes upon con scientious principles. Votes of thanks - having been passed to the Lord Mayor, Lord Dudley Stuart, David Salornons, Esq., and others, the meeting was dissolved. MRS.

RISE IN VALUE OF GROUND NEAR GLASGOW.— On Thursday week the lands of Stobcross, to the west of Finnieston, and extending from the Clyde northward to near Dumbarton-road, were sold by public roup at the price of 3s. per square yard, imperial measure. These lands extend to about 63 Scotch or about 80 imperial acres, which being about 387,000 square yards, makes the price amount to some where about 58,0001.; but as the purchaser pays the auction duty, which will be about 1,0771., as well as the half of the conveyance stamp, the price will actually amount to upwards of 60,0001. We understand that these lands were purchased by the late Mr. Phillips (by whose trustees they have been 'sold), in the year 1817, for about 3,7004 making a rise in value of upwards of 561)004—Scotch .174fortnere Gazette. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vuric Opinion. " Who runs may read." POlLMnisr. The King and Queen of the French on Saturday evening received the Austrian Ambassador, the Bavarian Minister, the Minister of Justice, Duke Decazes, Counts de Montaliret and St. Aginan, Generals Sebastiani, Dode de la Brunerie, and Fabvier, and Martineau des Chenez. The Duke de 'Nemours had arrived at the Tuileries. The King and Queen of the Belgians left Neuilly on Sa turday for Brussels. A letter from Naples, of the 16th of July, states, that the third son of the King of Naples, the Count de Castro Gio vanni, is dead. Twenty-one of the Calabrian insurgents, who came from Corfu, have been sentenced to death, and six have been already executed. Accounts from the east of Algiers, brought by the steamer Cerbre, which came in on the 17th, state that a party of Kabyles, amounting to about 500, lately attacked the camp of Bathena, between Constantina and Biskara. The force in the camp, though not strong, repulsed the enemy with con siderable loss, for they left twenty dead on the field, while the French did not lose one man. On the 20th, some slight shocks of an earthquake were felt at Louvie-Juson, in the Basses Pyrenees. The Lyons journals of Friday speak of the heat there as having been for several days of unusual intensity. On that morning the :thermometer stood at 26 degrees Centig►rade, 79 Farenheit ; but at four in the afternoon of Thursday, it was facing the north, and in the shade, at 32,1 C., 9d F. This is nearly the highest degree of heat in that climate, as, according to the records kept at the Observatory of Lyons, it appears that the utmost point to which the thermometer rose, during the seven years from 1833 to 1839 inclusively, was 33 6-10ths C., 93 F. At Athens, on the 10th inst., the thermometer marked in the shade 36 degrees Reaumur, 113 Fahrenheit. The inhabitants of Constantinople were treated on the Bth inst. with rather a novel spectacle for that city. A rI. Co marchi made a balloon ascent in the presence of the Sultan and his court, and an immense assemblage of persons. The ascent was perfectly successful. The Commandant-General of the Prussian Guards has is sued, says a German paper, an order interdicting the soldiers and non-commissioned officers up to the rank of sergeant major, from becoming members of temperance societies, upon the ground that the rules of these societies forbid in toto the use of liquors which, if taken in moderation, are beneficial to the men, and at times even indispensable. According to a letter from Belgrade, the Ch r i s ti ans of Bosnia are still suffering gteat persecution. It was hoped, when Kiamil Pacha was appointed Governor of the province, that a more humane and enlightened policy would be adopted, as he had been twice ambassador in Europe, and was thought to be free from sentiments of religious hatred. It appears, however, that he has adhered to the course adopted by his predecessors. The Augsburgh Gazette quotes a letter from Smyrna, of the Ist, stating in the most positive terms that in the island of Rhodes and other places the Turks had formed a plot for the massacre of the Christians at last Easter. The execution of the plot appears to have been prevented by an accidental discovery. LAW AND POLICE. The trials for arson at Ipswich terminated on the 29th. There were 21 cases for trial, in which 28 persons were charged with the crime, and of these 15 were convicted, 12 acquitted, and one turned Queen's evidence. At Guildhall, — Michael Magnier, a City policeman, No. 368, was brought before Mr. Alderman Hunter, by order of the Police Commissioner, charged with entering a house on his beat in the night time, and attempting to commit an as sault upon a girl aged 18. After the girl had given her evi dence, which left no doubt of the prisoner's intention, he was remanded, at his own request, till he had legal assistance. Wm. Irish, George Everard, James Everard, John Rut land, and Richard Wm. Reeves, were brought up at Bow street, charged with h av i ng violently assaulted Henry May nard, on the morning of Friday, the 26th of July. The as saults complained of arose out of disputes between the Wa termen's Company and the Free Watermen's Company, which are detailed in the police report. Mr. Twyford bound each of the defendants in their own recognizances of 201., and or dered them to find two sureties each for 101., to answer the charge at the next Westminster sessions. Two persons imme diately became bail for them, and they were discharged. At Marylebone Mrs. Mary Levy and Miss Mary Levy, her daughter, were charged with ringing the bell at the house of Mr. Bower, solicitor, Welbeck-street, without any lawful excuse for so doing. Mr. Bower's evidence went to show that on the 2d of May last, he opposed Mr. Levy, the hus band of the elder defendant, under the Bankrupt Act, upon his applying for his discharge, and since then he bad been continually annoyed by a violent knocking and ringing at the door, and on the said door being opened, there was no one actually at the spot, but the defendants, who had been seen walking to and fro, were a short distance off. The de fendants were fined 20s. each, and cautioned with regard to annoying Mr. Bower again. A man of the name of Cole was charged at Worship -street with cutting and maiming with intent to kill, Mr. Joseph Gill, the landlord of the George the Fourth public-house, in Old-street-road, and fully committed for trial. COTTIZT.---PA51110N.a.13303.

The above 212 vessels brought 12,890 passengers, being an in crease of 7,654 upon the number arrived in June, 1843. During the last quarter, ending 30th June, the number of passengers arrived was 25,098 ; being a large increase upon last year. At Quebec, on the cont rary, d own to J une 22d, only 8,827 passengers had arrived this season, being 1,171 less than last year to same date. The writ for. Cirencester was proclaimed on Monday, and the day of nomination fixed fur Friday. Lord Villiers is con fident of success. __ The Committee of the House of Commons has given in a report against pullingdown Westminster-bridge and building a new one. Owing to the boisterous weather, the promenade at the London Botanie Gardens has been postponed till Thursday. There has .been an active interchange of messengers be tween the leading members of the Government since Monday morning, and the Government have twice a-day communi• cated with her Majesty on public business at Windsor Castle. What is in the wind ? _ In one week in the early part of last month, it was esti mated that upwards of 70,000 tons of squared timber passed Woodstock on the river of St. John, New Brunswick. The lumber men had been highly favoured by three or four days successive rains. WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE. The following is the report of the Select Committee ap pointed to inquire into the present state of Westminster bridge, and into the expediency of continuing the present expenditure thereon, or of erecting a new bridge on or near the site thereof, and also into the amount of the bridge estates, and the liabilities thereon ; with power to report their opinion, together with the minutes of evidence taken before them, to the House:— " That on a review of the whole of the evidence, no case has been made out to justify the Committee in recommending to the House the pulling down the present bridge and the constructing a new one. " That it is desirable that the inclination of the roadway over the bridge be improved by lowering its summit and raising its extremities. . _ " 'flint the parapets of the bridge be lowered as much as is practicable and consistent with safety." -- I IThe remains of the late lamented Dowager Coun tess of Leicester were interred at Longford Hall, Derbyshire, on Monday, in the presence of her deceased Ladyship's nearest relatives. The Earl and Countess of Albemarle, who wore to have come to town en route to Goodwood, are stay ing at Quiddenham Hall, in retirement, in consequence of her Ladyship's demise. SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.--within the last few days the people of Gravesend have been painfully excited by the self-destruction of the Rev. G. Harris, minister of one of the churches 'in the City. The unfortunate gentleman, who was about 48 years of . age, left town last Saturday week with his lady and two daughters, in the hopes that a change of air would benefit his health, he having, for the last three months, been in a very desponding state of mind. From in quiries made respecting the melancholy occurrence, it ap pears that at a late hour on Friday night he retired to his bedchamber with his wife, Mrs. Harris retiring to rest first. A few seconds, however, had barely elapsed before she heard a heavy fall in the room. She immediately rose, and per ceiving Mr. Harris lying on the floor, promptly got out of bed, and then made the awful discovery that he had laid vio lent hands on himself. The police were instantly . called in, when the lamented gentleman was found to have inflicted a mortal gash in his throat with a razor, which was discovered on the top of the drawers; 'and although Mr. Sanders, sur geon, of High-street, was soon in attendance, and every means were resorted to to save his life, all proved ineffectual, and in less than a quarter of an hour he ceased to exist. An inquest was held by Mr. Carttar, one of the Coroners for Kent, on the body, and a verdict of " Temporary insanity" returned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES-(TUESDAY CONCLUDED.)

The racing this afternoon, if not so prolific of Pro duce and other valuable Stakes as on Tuesday-, lacked neither quantity nor attraction, and in one event—the Goodwood Stakes—gave full scope for the talents and industry of the book-makers, less so perhaps than usual, but enough to create excitement, and make it, as a bet ting race, the principal feature of the meeting. The Stewards' Cup, a rich and beautifully exccuted record of an affecting incident in the life of Prince Llewellyn, was also the source of a good deal of speculation ; but from the superior importance of "the Stakes," and the non -publication of the weights until late on Tuesday evening, was not touched upon until the numbers of the respective starters were telegraphed. It brought out a field worthy of the subject, and of the popular steward. ship from whence it was derived. The Queen's Plate, the Cowdray Stakes, the Matches, and an abundance of heats, served to make another long day of it, and to in crease the general regret that such varied and excellent sport should have been witnessed by a company that, however fashionable, was deficient in numbers. The weather, although boisterous, was favourable ; the ground in good order for running, the time admirably kept, and the general arrangements on, and in the neighbourhood of; the course, on the same comprehen sive and satisfactory plan as last year. We should men tion here that the defective nature of the preparations at the Fareham station for the conveyince of passengers, by the special train, caused them to lose two or three of the races on Tuesday, and were generally and de servedly complained of.

Tuesday this excellent contest was resumed by M Pickering and Mr. Kynaston again taking their stations at the wickets. At the termination of the play on Monday evening it will be remembered that the score stood thus :—Players, 130 ; Gentlemen, 80, with seven wickets down. At the resumption of the game, yesterday, the betting was against the gentlemen making 120, but the result, as on many previous occasions, proved how little imaginary foresight will operate or can be relied on as approaching to accuracy, when the subject of that conjecture chances to be the game of cricket. It is difficult to conceive a more beautiful exhibition of fine bowling, splendid hitting, and admirable fielding, than was presented to the lookers-on during the period that the two gentlemen whose names we have just men tioned, and Captain Latour, followed by Mr. Dolignan, were in ; for whilst with regard to the batting, we had the graceful and finished hitting of Mr. Pickering, so we had the fine and powerfully effective style of the Secre tary of the Marylebone Club and the cricketer -like manner of Captain Latour. The first fetched 19, the second 34, and the third 10, thus with byes 11 and wides 2 making up 128, a total which was two short only of their gigantic opponents' score. The bowling of Lillywhite and Hillyer was of the highest character, but Dean, who went on for a few " overs," was not so suc cessful. The fielding, too, was excellent. The betting was now brought down to even, and although there were many who still fancied the " professors" for choice, so were there also those who offered to take the gentlemen. At length Martingell and Box went to the wicket, Mr. A. Mynn and Mr. C. Taylor bowling. Mr. W. Mynn, was unable to go to the " long stop," in consequence of a severe injury he received at that place on Monday. He was, however, most ably succeeded by Mr. Campbell. Up to the dinner hour the game went much in favour of the Gentlemen, but during that hour a very large quan tity of rain fell, which had the effect of rendering•it ex tremely difficult for the bowlers to deliver their balls at the wickets, whilst those in the field could scarcely maintain a footing with sufficient firmness to cover a ball when hit a little wide of them. Two of the players' wickets, Box and Martingell, were got rid of for 9 runs, three for 22, four for 42, including those of Bushby and Pilch. But at this point Wenman's fine and steady play, and Guy's beautiful forward style of execution, after wards backed by the rain, arrested the apparent certain rapid defeat of their party. They, however, made 48 between them. Dorrington was unfortunate in running out after having obtained only 4 runs. When time was called Sewell and Deitu were hitting a wa y i n goo d sty l e, the former having added 13, and the latter 17 to the general score. • MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINZ. The subject of our disastrous .campaignn is " Affghanistan" is ably treat e d i n th e Number before us, but notwithstanding the writer's assertion to th e contrary, it is a subject completely exbansted, and on which the public has long s i nce ma d e u p its mind. As for interest, whatever it m i g ht li a ve poSsessea when the matter was, fresh in popular recollection, -little-or none now-attaches to it. - It has been a_Dine days' wonder, and like other themes of moment, has passed to the tomb of the Capulets, only to be disin: terred by some future Uibbon or Robertson-6.V ° should ever again rise among us—when discussing the politics of the memorable year 1840. Still, despite this drawback, the article on " Affghanistan" is wor th reading, and, conside r i ng th e d ec id e d politics; °( Blackwood, is remarkably moderate in its tone. Th e writer avers that it was our fear' of Russian intrigu e that originated the humiliating campaigns in clue s " tion, and this opinion is a correct one: So intense were our apprehehsions on this subject, that we sacrl i fired to them a fine ar m y o f u p war d s o ft e n thous? °d ; and yet, not five yea! s afterwards, the giV.O lic and menacing Itussiatilpliantan, the.bare ?

The whole h6tory of 015 short-lived it ussophobia ofours, which cost the cOl lO- , try so many thousand-liv es an d suc h i mmense surn sol money, will,form but an inglorious chapter in the . litical annals of the ninet enth century. But nr tions, like individuals, have their moments of %%ea' . ness and pUerility, and John Bull has always been remarkable fur peri o di ca l fit s f f oo l ery, d ur ing the - prevalence of which he cuts the most extraordinq capers possible, and makes himself the laughing - sb? of Europe.

In the reV e w ra so of, Horace Twiss's " Life of Lord Eldon,". we il e a informed that an old Manx smuggler was plea . % with his Lordship for pleading in court for certa l rights to which the inhabitants of the I s le of Ma p asserted that they were entitled, that, in th e warm * l of his admirati o n, h e ac t ua lly o ff ere d t h e f u t ure Chn cellor---then but a rising young barrister on cirnor p a his favourite d aug ht er , w ith a por ti on o f one h u nur e thousand pounds ! The off e r was a t em pting ° n c i but we apprehend it would not exactly have sui te o f the views of a lawyer to become the son-in-lad oe a smuggler, whose wealth had been gained by set irg the laws at defiance. Besides, his Lordship already provided with a spouse, and no doubt fnulij that one wife at a time was quite as m uc h as he col 0 conveniently manage, and that two would have bef o ; a superfluous luxury.
