In the House of Lords the Detached Parts of the Counties Bill was read a second time. 1. ,, r1 CAMPBELL presented a petition from CHARLES 11EN tT Y RUQSELL, pray:ng that he might he heard by couu.L.l against the Race-course Gaming Bill, and gave notice that, on th., order of the day being read for t!te coantnittal of the Bill, counsel shoal be heard against it. Lord BRouGnAm, in reference to the Aliens Bill, brought up f-oni the other House, called the attention of their Lordships to the anomalous and unjust posi tion in which foreigners were placed in this country as regarded the acquisition of property and the per formance,a civil duties. In no other country was a foreigner so ill treated as in England. Even a natu ralised foreigner could not hold the humblest office under the Crown, while a foreigner might, accord ing to the Act of Settlement, be chosen as the hus band of the QuEE,a, and he endowed with all British privileges, It did not appear that the Bill stood for discussion Huta evening, and no other Lord spoke on the sub:ect. On the motion of Lard MONTEAGLE the Art- Unions Bill was read a second tine. The LORD CHANCELLOR % gave notice that he would move the second reading of the Sudbury Disfran chisement Bill on Monday, and move that counsel be heard against the Bill. On the motion of the Dube of RICHMOND, counsel again, -ithe gorse -Racing B ill were ordered to be - day at four o'cic ck, and the House ad , journed al half- past seven. GiffilllMls met at one, o'clock and vent into Committee on the Poor...law Aruendrnent Bill. A number of clauses wtt,p4 adopted, and on clause 6t: being read, Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved that the Chairman report progress, and the House resumed. After several petitions had been presented, Mr. THOMAS S. DUNCOMBE called the attention of the House to the proceedings before the Com mittee appointed to inquire into the system of open ing letters at the Post-office. The Hon. Member made an excellent speech on the occasion, and gave an amusing account of the way in which the inquiry was conducted. Ile bad been called as a witness, and requested to produce a list of the witnesses who could confirm him in his statements made in the Muse, but he declined to give the list, except on the condi tion that he should be present to hear the witnesses examined. The Committee referred the point to the House. Lord SANDON, Chairman of the Committee, and Mr. HumE rose together to speak, when the S2EAK ER said there was no question before the House, upon which Mr. DUNCOMBE moved that it be an instruc tion to the Committee that he be present at the'exami nation of the witnesses he might call. Lord SANDON said the Committee had no objection to Mr. DUN COMBE being present to examine the witnesses, but he should be present as a member, and incur the re sponsibility of the other members. After remarks from Sir R. PEEL, Mr. HUME, Mr. LABOUCHERE, and others, the motion of Mr. DUNCOMBE was put to the vote, and on a division, it was rejected by a majority of 90, there being for the motion 51, and against it 141. Mr. DUNCOMBE made an excellent speech on introducing the subject, and in all the speeches that followed no substantial reason was given for excluding him from the Com mittee. Will Sir JAMES GRAHAM, thus burk the inquiry, by appointing a Secret Committee to inquire into the practice of opening letters, and ex cluding the very man who could bring the delinquents to justice ? On the order of the day being read for the third reading of the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill, Mr. MORE OTERRALL opposed it, and moved that the Bill be read a third time that day six months. Lord ELIOT opposed the amendment, and after a lengthened discussion the amendment was withdrawn, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. The House then went into Committee on the Poor law Amendment Bill, and several clauses were added, at the suggestion of Sir J. GRAHAM. Mr. R. YORKE moved a clause to restrain the Commissioners from enforcing the indiscriminate se paration of man and wife, but it was rejected by a majority of 90, their being only six votes in favour of it. Mr. BURROUGIIES proposed the addition of a clause relating to illegitimate children, which was opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, but eventually carried by a ma jority of one. The remaining clauses passed through Committee, and the House resumed. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'Clock. His Excellency Earl DE GREY took his final de parture from the shores of Ireland on Tuesday last. As he passed on his way to the place of embarka tion, he was received by the crowds who are always in attendance on such occasions, with the most frigid indifference ; here and there an attempt was made to get up a cheer, which, however, had no other effect than to draw forth loud groans and yells ..t reprobation from the populace ; seeing which his Lordship's well-wishers gave up all further attempt at applause, and the Ex-Viceroy was allowed to pro teed on his course in the midst of a comparative silence, which was more significant than the noisiest demonstrations. So ends the public career, as least as far as Ireland is concerned, of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Lord Leiutenant, whom he selected as the fittest man he knew of to carry out his favourite system of policy, and who, he no doubt, thought, would have effectually succeeded in tranquillising the sister-country. But cruelly has the Premier been disappointed in his expectations, for never was there a more inglorious Government than that of Earl Ds GREY. From first to last, for a pe riod of upwards of three years, it has been one con tinued succession of humiliating failures. While it has alienated the Catholics, it has not conciliated the Orangemen, and from time to time each party has vied with the other in expressing their unqualified con tempt for it. Weak—rash—vacillating—inconsistent —energetic precisely at the wrong moment, and timid and indolent when it was most necessary to show de cision and vigour—we cannot point to one redeem ing feature in the Ex-Viceroy's Irish Government. When his Excellency, who is the hero of a hundred defeats, first took possession of his high office, he foun.d Ireland, if not absolutely tranquil, at least willing to hops that she might derive some little benefit from his Administration. The repeal question, though still agitated, was by no means foremost in men's minds, and M. O'CONNELL more than once lamented the supineness of his countrymen on the subject. By an enlightened and Conciliatory course of policy, such as he induced Ireland io believe he would adopt, Earl DE GREY might have given a complete quietus to he demand for the Repeal of the Union. Never had a man a better opportunity of doing so. All that was required of him was, that he should exhibit firm ness and impartiality, and not allow himself to be led astray by party predilections. But to maintain a rigid system of impartiality seems never once to have entered into his calculations ; he might indeed profess it, but he could not act upon it, for the PEEL policy hung like a millstone about his neck, paralysing whatever disposition he may have felt to lo justice to an enlarged and unbiassed spirit. The consequence was just what might have been antici pated. The clamour for a repeal of the Union gathered daily fresh strength ; what was at first the nere cry of the few soon became the demand of the nany ; monster-meetings were held in all quarters; subscriptions to a vast amount were continually pour ng into the repeal exchequer; and, ere the year 1842 lad passed away, the country was in a state of combustion from one end to the other. Then came the headlong rush into Ireland of horse, root, and artillery; the repairing and garrisoning ,f forts ; the marchings and counter-marchings of troops ; the mustering of war steam-boats ; Ind, finally, the prohibition, at the eleventh hour, and ander circumstances of imminent danger, of the Clon arf meeting, followed in due course by the trial and imprisonment of O'CONNELL for conspiracy, the sole effect of which has been to increase tenfold the exas peration of his countrymen, and impress them with the conviction that his trial has been anything but a fair one. Such are the results of three years of the trimming PEEL policy carried .iut through the agency of Earl DE GREY ! Its influence upon Ireland has been most disastrous. It has neutralised all the good effects produced by the conciliatory system of government adopted by Lords NORMANDY and FORTESCUE, alid engendered a state of things which it will require all the known tact and experience of Lord HEYTESBURY to ameliorate. We trust we are not unduly sanguine, if we express our belief that the new Viceroy, warned by the ignominious failures of his predecessor, will deem it his duty to legislate on a totally different principle, and substitute the substance of impartiality for the shadow—the thing for the word. We are quite of their opinion, who hold the pro ' greys of incendiarism in the rural districts to be an evidence of the fearful depreciation of moral cha racter which, somehow or other, is taking place but too palpably among certain classes of our industrial population. It is too true that this inauspicious symptom is most developed in our agricultural dis tricts, but it cannot be said th3t our manufactuling localities are free from it. The frequency of the crime, and the class of the victims against whom its visitations are always directed in the former cases, tell their own tale. A little consideration would enable us, we fear, to trace the " fire-raising;" in the latter to the same spirit of indiscriminating resent ment which is ever prepared to sacrifice all considera tions of prudence and fOreeist—all, providence for the future, all regard for the present—to the instant gra tification of one passion—reckless of all conse quences, indifferent to all ties, sympathies, or affec tions. It is only, we suspect, a keen sense of into lerable wrong, acting with the concentrated energy of despair, which can thus incite the hideous revenge of hopeless poverty against the possessors of pro perty, in - which their own, war of destruction must inevitably prevent them from participating. If we desire our readers—if we call upon members of the Legislature, in particular—to examine into the motives of this revenge, we need hardly guard ourselves be orehand against the suspicion of attempting to extenuate the gult, or palliate the infamy of this crime of arson. On the contrary, we shall ever de nounce it as the most contemptible, as well as the most cowardly,—the basest, as it is also the most ferocious, outrage:which any individual can commit against social propsrty and the rights and security of his fellow-citizens. It is the most dangerous of all the delinquencies that private malice (by whatever extremity of wrong incited), can be guilty, against the unsuspecting confidence of the community, or any of the individual members who compose that commu nity. Common reason, therefore, and the analogy of all criminal impulses must lead us to suppose that an offence of such a character as this cannot become, in some sections of the kingdom—we blush to write it— common, and the subject of constant alarm and agi tation among their peaceably disposed population, without predisposing causes of great intensity. These must have existed, too (it may be safely assumed), for some time past ; for no maxim is more generally true than that men do not rush headlong, on the first suggestion or prompting of their evil natures, into the last excesses of criminal atrocity. Now the pre valence of incendiary fires in Essex, in Suffolk, in in Norfolk, in Kent, and other counties, is a " social evil " but too easily explicable, we fear, on princi ples, the action of which will be found to confirm this view of the subject. Mr. WonEliousn, of Norfolk, we see, made a very lame and very unfortunate effort to repudiate, on the part of the county with which he is immedi ately connected, the guilt of being eminently a theatre for the exhibition of these incendiary out rages. 15 e have no desire to dwell upon the unbecoming personalities into which this foolish at tempt had betrayed ;. him, because the party, who with justice complained of them, must have felt Wm self fully satisfied by the fair and ample apology which Mr. WODEHOUSE, to his honour, tendered for them. But why will Mr. WODEHOUSE, and those other Hon. Members who are so clamorous for " pro tection,, to home agriculture, that they turn a deaf ear to the clamour for home subsistence, refuse to grant the boon of cheap bread to the perishing hundreds of thousands from whose desolate hovels it is that the hunger-pinched incendiary steals to his secret work of suicidal conflagration ? Did it never occur to Mr. WonEnouse—is it a fact which, though its notoriety have passed into a proverb, is still unknown to the landed interest,—" that famine and destitution will drive wise men mad ?" Is it so (IS ficult to conceive that a broken-hearted, un employed, or ill-fed labourer, goaded to in tolerable distraction by the monstrous con templation of his dismantled hovel (the furniture of which has been, perhaps, already seized and sold under distraint, to discharge his landlord's demand for rent), and of his pining children, who vainly, but incessantly ask him for " bread," which is too dear for him to buy out of the fractional wages he receives—that such a being should turn in his frenzy, to the destruction of the very roof to which he should have looked for shelter, and the very granaries from which his supply of bread is to be drawn P Alas! these are not the limits within which a desperate man can be brought to circumscribe his reasoning—(if such a term could be applied to the mere ebullitions of passionate indignation). He only knows that he starves in the midst of plenty: his children are dying for want under the shadow of the well stored homested, in which are garnered all the super fluous production and stores which represent the wealth of him from whom he can obtain either no employment at all, or employment at a rate of remu- neration which will not procure for him and his family the common necessaries of life. His own wretchedness, their distress, his abject misery and their helplessness, are constantly contrasted in his jaundiced and distorted meditations, by the abun dance, the competency, and occasionally even by the affluence of the more fortunate possessor of well stored harvests, fine stock, and farming offices, who is either the landlord or the tenant•farm?r of the pro perty on which he works. If the former, he insists on rents from the latter which alone can support him in the dignified ease of his position ; and, in order to pay these rents, the latter can afford to pay only such diminished wages to his labourers as are inadequate to the demands of the poorest measure of subsistence for himself and family. In the meanwhile, the vicious habits of thinking, generated by a long course of vicious legis lation, induce both the land owner and the tenant farmer to concur in the scheme for keeping up an unnatural high price of bread ; and no amount of suffering among the poor, but industrious, agricul tural labourers who surrouud them can appeal with sufficient force to their good feelings, or their good sense, their sympathy or their discernment, to induce them to concur in forcing the repeal of laws which thus artificially aggravate the cost of the first neces sary of life, and which are the primary element of a monopoly system, fatal alike to the true interests of home and foreign trade. The wretch who seex all this beyond the walls of his melancholy hut, and feels all this so bitterly within them, becomes a maniac, and devotes to wasting ruin the abundance, from the benefits of which he is thus shut out, and the shelter of a home, the comforts of which are almost ostenta tiously arrayed before their unhappy producer, as if to madden him by their tantalizing unapproachability for him ! Between this poverty at home and this affluence abroad, is there any middle ground —any spot of refuge—any point of consolation and of hope—to which the furious outcast might betake himself, in order to cherish more charitable hopes of the sym pathy of others—to get a glimpse of more cheering prospects fur the future years of his children and him self? Let Mr. Wonmious.r. tell us how, in that county, which is the stronghold of the corn-tax inte rest, the poor-law is administered, especially in re spect of able-bodied paupers, and the public will pro bably arrive at some new guides to the solution of the impelling causes of incendiarism in Norfolk, and be able to devise some practicable plans for their entire removal, or present alleviation. Madrid jourhals of the 10th inst. have been re ceived. The Gazette publishes a return of the national property sold in the month of June, which realised 9,041,996 reals (90,0001.) The entire pro perty sold had realised more than two millions ster ling. The ensuing election begins to excite some little interest. The lists are to be closed on the 3d of August, and publicly posted up on the 19th during fifteen days; The elections will commence throughout the provinces on the 3d of September, and the general scrutiny take place on the 14th. The Funds are rather more firm. The Three per Cents. reached 261 for cash, 27 at 60 days; and the Fives 201 cash. The French Chamber of Deputies have rejected, as was anticipated, the amendment of M. CREMIEUX which would have excluded from all participation' in railroad companies the Members of both Chambers. The majority was very large, the motion for the amendment being only 105, while the Bill as amended by the Peers was adopted by 195 ; majority 90. In the Chamber of Peers a brief discussion took place relative t o the late arrests. The Viscount DUBOUCHAGE com plained that M.CFIARBONNIER DE LA GUESNERIE, Wh( had been brought from a distance of sixty leagues, and, though 60 years of age and afflicted with acute rheu matism, was kept for ninety-six hours in a humid cell. It was now near three weeks since those arrests had been made, and yet, though two of the persons taken up had offered to give heavy bail for their appearance, they could not obtain their liberty. Undoubte:lly the Government ought to be authorised to take all proper precautions, but not in the vexatious manner practised in this instance. Tire Minister or Public Instruction said the Noble Peer was greatly mis taken in supposing that these arrests were preventive— they were exe?uted in virtue of judicial warrants, and after law proceedings regularly instituted. But the Noble Peer was also in error in supposing that any inhumanity was practised. The persons arrested ac knowledged themselves that they had been perfectly well treated ; which fact it was easy to ascertain, as access to them waz not interdicted. The Marquis DE Boissr said the donticilliary visit to the Prince de ROSBECQ had been made in an offensive manner. This was denied on the part of the Government. The Prince had been arrested in consequence of a regular war rant from a judge, and two of the most moderate and gentlemanly commissaries of police in the admi nistration'had been -selected for the duty. Two re latives of the Prince de RosnEcct had declared that nothing could exceed the perfect politeness end pro priety of their proceedings. A telegraphic dispatch had amlounced the acquittal ; THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1844. of Madame LACOSTE, charged with the murder of her husband, as well as the man who had been in- I dieted as an accomplice. The following are additional extracts from the papers : The Mimiteur publishes a table of receipts of indirect taxes for the first half-year of 1844, as compared with the corre sponding period of the two preceding years. It shows an increase of 7,752,000 f. over 1843, and of 14,077,000 f. over 1842. Malta letters of the sth inst., received by the Levant mail, give some detail's of the landing of the Italian refugees in Calabria. Some of them appear from these to have joined the Calabrian bands, and at Malta hopes were entertained that among them were all the leaders of the enterprise, with the exception of Moro, who was known to be mortally Wounded. _ . We read in a letter from Venice of the 7th inst. :—" The Neapolitan Government has made a communication to that of Vienna relative to the Austrian subjects made prisoners in Calabria. It is believed that the Austrian Government will not demand their extradition, in order to be spared a process for desertion and treason against the sons of a distinguished and meritorious officer." Letters from Athens of the 30th ult. inform us that tran quillity had been re-established. A warrant had been issued for the arrest of Germano Mavromichali, accused of being the exciter of the disturbances on the 23d, which cost the lives of several persons. General Tzavellas—since exiled to Svra— has tendered the resignation of his appointment as Aide de- Camp to the King, in dissatisfaction at the breach of faith whiCh the Ministry wished to commit towards General Grivas, but which M. Piscatory prevented by taking him under the protection of the French flag. The President of the Council persisting in not recognising the compromise between Ge nerals Tzavellas and Grivas, announced that he should pro. ceed to obtain judgment by default against Grivas, who thereupon retired to Smyrna. The King of Naples arrived at Messina on the 20th ult., and soon afterwards left for Catania, on his way to Girgenti, Trapani, and Palermo. Prince Metternich left Vienna on the Bth, for the Baths of Ischia. We learn from Dresden, July 9, that although appa:ent tranquillity has been restored at Prague, there is great agi tation still among the labouring classes in other parts of Bo hemia. At Reuschenberg the Weavers have destroyed all the machinery and several factories. THE BOURSE—TUESDAY, JULY 16. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

It will take place towards the end of the month at the Princess's Theatre. Some of the first rate English performers have offered their services gratuitously, and their example has been followed by several of the most eminent foreign singers. From all accounts, it will be one of the most attractive con certs of the season, and afford seasonable relief to the family of the deceased. MONE Y. AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. Consols closed at 991 to 4, With a steady appearance. The other English Securities were all generally at tirm rates.

From almost all parts of the country where recently wool fairs have been held, the results have been most satisfactory-. In some instances the improvement is asserted to have been from 7* to 10, and in a few instances 15 per cent. The sales of colonial wools that are at present in progress at the Hall of Commerce, have not commenced so satisfactory as was anticipated by many; but the fact is, that the quanti ties announced for sale are so large, that purchases are made with much caution. Still the requirements of the manu facturers are said to be heavy and urgent, as the demand for woollen manufactures is on the increase. As to the cotton trade, it is not surprising that for the raw interest the mar ket should be heavy, the stocks on hand at Liverpool being unprecedently large; and it ought not to be forgotten that the supplies from the East Indies and Egypt are expected to be very large indeed. The indigo trade is not so brisk as was anticipated it would be, hence the slow progress made at the public sales now in course of progress. An ad vertisement appeared in this day's Sun, announcing a further public sale of West India Pine Apples brought over in high perfection. This is a branch of trade that appears likely to be cultivated to an immense extent. Fine pines that would fetch, if hot-house grown here, from 20s. to %ss. each, have realised at the late sale from 4s. 6d. to ss. 2d. each. A point vet to be obtained is the arrival of pines from the West In dies with thellfoilage in a higher state of greenness than is the case at present. There are accounts from Van Diemen's Land this morning to the 14th March. It is stated that information had reached there of great injury having been done to the crops in Port Phillip. The account-sales of a load of wheat ship ped from Launceston to England, had been made public through the medium of the papers, and it seems that upon an average Bs. per bushel was remitted back, partly in bills and partly in goods. The result had much pleased the shippers and the agriculturists of the colony. Further consignments are now in progress to the mother country. There is not any political news from Tasmania by the present arrivals. The Government brokers took 20,0001. Consols at 991, being an improvement of 1 per cent. upon the lowest values of yesterday. Consols for the Account have not been quoted quite so high, 991 having been the point gained this morning. The amount of business that has been entered into is considerable. The Unfunded Debt is about the same as yesterday. The Reduced Three per Cents. are per cent. above par; the Three-and-a-Halt per Cents. Reduced at 1011 to 102 ; Bank Stock at 200; and India Bonds at 965. premium. In the Foreign Funds the fluctuations have been slight this morning. The French Rentes have been sold at 122 ; Spanish Consols at 23 ; the Three per Cents. at 334 1 ; Russian at 119; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1011 ; and Columbian ex Venezuelan at 131 and 1. The prices of Railway Shares have not varied much. Bir• mingham and Gloucester have at last reached par, having just been transferred at 100. Brighton are better also, viz., at 2 discount. There are no fresh quotations for Banking Shares. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 17.—Our market is steady, with more disposition to do business. The quota tions are :—EasternCounties,l29-16 ; Do.

By a Royal ordonnance, dated the 28th ult., his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier has been created a Knight of the Legion of Honour. The godfather of the young Duke d'Alencon is his Majesty the King of Portugal, who appointed his Ambassador at the Court of Paris to be his proxy. The godmother is her Royal Highness the Duchess of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, represented by her Royal Highness the Princess de Joinville. The distribution of the prizes and rewards to the exhibi tors at the great National Exhibition will be made by the King's own hand, on the 28th instant, in the Hall of the Marshals at the Tuileries. Mr. Lewis Goldsmith, the father, we believe, of Lady Lyndhurst, has been labouring under a serious attack of ill ness, but was sufficiently recovered to take daily carriage airings. The Society for the protection of young prisoners and juvenile liberated prisoners held its general meeting on .Sun day at the Hotel de Ville. N. Berenger (de la Drome), Peer of 'Prance, who presided, delivered an interesting address, in which he proved by authenticated figures that repetitions of offences by young convicts had considerably diminished since the application of cellular confinement to this class of pri soners. The post-offices of France last year received in the various boxes 114,200,000 letters, of which 3,200,000 remained un claimed. The 111,000,000 millions produced a sum of 41,569,200 f. There were also distributed 60,000,000 of printed papers, which produced 2,400,000 f., giving a total of 43,969,200 f. The price of bread at Paris for the concluding fortnight of the present month remains as it was-36c. the kilogramme. A new opera, Les Quatres Fits Aymon, the music by Pialle, was produced for the first time at the Opera Comique, Paris, on Monday night, with immense success. Madame Lacoste had been acquitted by the Court of As size of Gers. The Herald°, a Madrid paper, states that Don Antonio Alcala Galiano, long one of the most eminent politicians in the Spanish capital, has left, on his way to Cadiz, to open a school. The Herald° censures the Moderado party in very severe terms, for suflering so distinguished a man to fall into such distress. M. Thiers left Paris on Tuesday, for Dieppe, from which, after a short stay, he will go to Lille. The Lyons papers say that several persons have been arrested, charged with a Fieschi plot against the authorities of that place. Several grenades were found in their posses sion, with which, it is said, they intended by a single dis charge to destroy the general in command, the mayor, and the prefect, when coming out of St. John, after the solemn mass of the Ist of May. Law' AND POLICE. At the Chelmsford assizes, an action was brought by Mary Ann Spaull, to recover damages from Stephen Forster for a breach of promise of marriage, and obtained a verdict for 4001. damages. At the same assizes, a boy nine years of age was convicted of setting fire to a barn, by which property to the value of 4001. had been destroyed. Sentence deferred. At the Mansion-house, Henry Sage, the person who was charged on Tuesday with having presented for payment a cheque for 301., which had been stolen out of a lady's car riage on Monday, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie and fully committed. At the Thames Police-court, James Brigden, a cowkeeper and dairyman, of Gulston-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Broderip for final examination, on a charge of manslaughter, in running his horse and cart over a young married woman, named Ann Jones, who was killed on the spot. Mr. Broderip said the act was so clearly one of man slaughter, that he could not take bail, and the prisoner was committed. At Queen-square, Mr. Bond gave judgment in a case of considerable importance to stage coach proprietors and book- Mg-office keepers. The matter in dispute was, whether the omnibuses conveying passengers and luggage to the various railway stations were liable to the provisions of the 6th and 7th of Victoria, cap. 86, which requires the proprietors and conductors of stage carriages within the metropolitan police district, to be licensed by the registrar, and the persons in charge of the vehicle to wear a metal ticket, corresponding with the number of their licence. Mr. Bond said, he was clearly of opinion that these omnibuses came under the ope ration of the Act. COUILT--FASUIONABLE. The Dowager Duchess of Bedford gave another file on Wednesday, at Campden-hill, which attracted a very nume rous assemblage. The beautiful grounds of her Grace's villa are now seen to great advantage, and the excellent arrange ments which prevail render these periodical assemblages of the aristocracy at Bedford Lodge, perhaps the most attractive reunions of the season. All the preparations for the amuse ment of the juvenile portion of the visitors, which have been before described, were repeated. Conspicuous among the juvenile dancers were the children of the Marchioness of Abercorn, the Viscount and the Ladies Hamilton, whose clever execution of several dances was much applauded. The Earl of Shaftesbury entertained the Earl of Mansfield, Earl of Wicklow, Earl of Normanton, Lord Carbery, Lord Colchester, Lord Methuen, Lord Brougham, Sir Alexander Grant, Captain A'Court, Lord Ashley, Hon.

On Wednesday the half-yearly meeting of the Governors of the City Dispensary was held in the board-room of the institution, Queen-street, Cheapside, for the purpose of tran sacting the usual business—Mr. Nathaniel ginger in the chair: It appears that during the past year upwards of 5,000 poor persons have participated in its benefits, and since its institution in 1789, 256,054 patients were admitted. At the anniversary dinner held at the London Coffee-house a few days since, the donations then made amounted to 765/. 128., and new annual subscribers, to 291.85. Earl de Grey and suite took his final departure from Dublin on Tuesday. A general Court- martial assembled at eleven o'clock on Wednesday, in the mess-room of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, for the trial of Lieutenant Charles Louis, of the Woolwich division, on the following charge :—" For hav ing absented himself from his guard in the Victualling-yard, at Deptford, without due authority, on or about the Bth of July, 1844, and not rejoining the same until the morning of the following day."—Lieutenant and Adjutant Berney Varlo officiated as acting Judge-advocate, and the whole of the evidence for the prosecution was completed at an early hour, after which the Court adjourned until this day at eleven o'clock, when the prisoner will proceed with his defence. We are credibly informed, says the Freeman's Joumal of yesterday, that no less than thirty boys were expelled in one batch on Saturday last for wearing an emblem of their na tional feeling, and that the number who, because of their being Irish in feeling as well as by birth, have been thus driven from the schools established by Parliamentary grant for their education, within the last few weeks, amounts to nearly 200. The parochial authorities of St. John's, Islington, have o ff e red. rewards for the apprehension of the fathers of five families, who have absconded, leaving the latter a burthen upon the parish. Many bullocks have been landed at Plymouth from Spain this week. Having had a short and favourable passage they appear in good condition, but neither in quantity or quality —in flesh, sinew, and bone—are they, according to report, 1 1 to be compared for a moment with the true Devons. About ,1 40 of them were sold on Friday on the quay, and realised 1 from 50s to 55s per cwt. After about twelve years' suspension, or rather compara tive inactivity, the General Annuity Society has resuscitated. A dinner in aid of its funds was held on Wednesday evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The subscriptions exceeded 3001. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

A correspondent at Cleveland, in Yorkshire, begs the insertion of his letter, which we readily accord, merely premising that as yet nothing satisfactory has transpired in connection with the Mexican or Co lumbian debts, but that we trust the spirit of inquiry and indignation evinced by numerous other parties besides our correspondent will not be without a sa lutary effect. We shall revert to this subject again, and in the meantime subjoin the communication : " I have been an old subscriber to your very ta lented and influential journal. I will thank you to inform me and others, through the medium of your widely-extended circulation, if there be any appear. ance of the Mexican agents paying the half-ye a rs' dividend, due the Ist of April last, as I saw in your journal ten days or a fortnight ago that above 160,000 dollars had arrived for that purpose, and with the previous arrivals in hand, it was judged sufficient to pay the April dividend. And, likewise, can you enlighten me and numberless others of the unfortu nate Columbian bondholders when the New Grenada Government intend to commence the payment of the interest on their portion of the Columbian debt, which was agreed upon to be 50 per cent.; the only payment that has hitherto been paid by that Government was the paltry sum of ss. 6d. per 1001. bond. Sometime last year, I am told, and I believe it is correct, that M. Maquirree, the Minister for New Granada, in this country has funds in his hands to the amount of 60,0001. or 70,0001., and hitherto he cannot be pre vailed upon to pay this money to the legitimate owners of it, viz., the unfortunate bondholders. It is really " too bad" that this individual should hold this money in his hands so long—he cannot look very comfortable at the levee days amongst the other dip lomatists I should suppose. Please give insertion to this letter with your energetic comments upon it, and upon the conduct of these non-paying States, and it may tend to elicit information from other correspondents.—l remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, "AN UNFORTUNATE HOLDER OF MEXICAN AND COLOMBIAN BONDS." ALFRED LIFE ASSURANCE. On Wednesday, the General Meeting was held at their offices, No. 7, Lothbury. The chair was taken by Sir David Scott, Bart. From the report it ap peared that the Company had been established five years, and over and above the paid-up capital, had accumulated the sum of 48,5371. 14s. ld. Since the formation of the Association, 513 policies had been issued, assuring the sum of 442,4281. The number of claims from death had been six, upon which 3,7501. had been paid. The profit realised from lapsed poli cies amounted to 3,595/. 18s. 104., consequently the difference between these two sums, viz. 1541. Is. 24., was the only charge upon the assurance fund for de cease of lives assured. Such a result was very re markable, as upon the most moderate calculation, six teen or eighteen should have occurred, upon which from 14,0001. to 16,000/. should have been paid. It appeared that the annuity branch of the Company's business had been equally satisfactory ; 31,8271.55. 4d. having been sunk with them for the purchase of annuities. Of the annuitants five had died, relieving the office of annuities amounting to 5441. 6s. 3d. The report was considered highly satisfactory, and unanimously adopted ; and thanks having been voted to the Chairman and Directors, the meeting separated. FLANDERS MAIL.
