This Week, being the Anniversary of the G,eat Fire of London, 16(56, •Southby has arranged to give extraordinary effects to this matchless representation, and introduce a display of the admired water, jets tie fella, with other devices, to loan a GRAND PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY. On MON JAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and Taußs DAY, throughout the Season, the Gardens will open with the following. attractive Novelties : THE PICTURESQUE GROUNDS—FEEDING OF THE for what he has himself denounced as " a gross out rage," in the Otaheite affairs, we have no better guarantee for the fact than his own impressions of the cordiality and frankness of the French Cabinet. We may be allowed, therefore, to return to the con sideration of the existing state of our navy, as if all hazard of a contingency that might call, abruptly and soon, for its efficient services, were not, of neces sity, concluded by the con v ictions so avowed by Sir ROBERT PEEL. In doing this we shall not appear to impugn the good faith of the French Ministry, but we shall act on the strength of the old maxim, that " the timeliest wisdom is the best." Now, we desire to direct the attention of the public—(for all appeals to the intervention of the official and Executive autho rities on this topic have hitherto proved unavailing)— to the disgraceful manning of our ships, and the in evitable tendencies of the system at present pursued by the Admiralty, to increase and aggravate the dis organisation of her MAJESTY'S navy. Some of our readers may object to the frequency with which we recur to this topic ; but a sense of its vital impor tance and our own duty compel us to this proceeding, and we have no doubt will be found to justify us in acting on that impulse. And it is evident that, of all the objects of a policy of precaution and foresight, the efficient manning of our ships of war is precisely that on which, "to be wise after the event," must con stitute the most ridiculous as well as the most pitiable r —the most deplorable as well as the most absurd—of predicaments. To set about making provision for the proper manning of ships after they should have been actually sacrificed, or too disabled to carry their ade quate complements from the weakness of their crews, would exceed in ex post facto impotency the late sagacity of him who carefully affixed a lcck upon his stable-door after his steed had been already carried off for want of one. It is to be remembered that France is neither the only, nor the most formidable, competitor with which, in an event that we put, for out present purpose, quite hypothetically, our navy would have to contend. We lately showed that, excepting one or two line-of battle ships, and a frigate or so on the coast of South America and on the West India station, one other in the Pacific, and, we believe, a few frigates of the larger and smaller class in the Chinese seas and the Indian Ocean, our force in line-of-battle ships was miserably deficient, assuming them even to be fully manned. Their total is soon reckoned. At Lisbon, the Caledonia, 120 guns—but she ought to be the flag- ship of the Admiral in command at Plymouth! On the coast of Morocco, the Albion, 90; in the Mediterranean, the Formidable, 80. Besides these three abroad, we have at Portsmouth, the Queen, 110—but she ought to be at Sheerness, where she should be bearing the Port-Admiral's flag ; at Ply mouth, the St. Vincent, 120—but she ought to be the flag-ship of the- Admiral at Portsmouth. At Chatham and Sheerness, none ; at Spithead, the noble flag-ship, Collingwood, 80—but she has taken out what the de nizen's of the Queen's Bench Prison used to call a " rule "—and although returned in the naval muster roll as one of the home-station flag-ships, she is making a little run presently for the Pacific. Thus we have, for Europe, cis et citric the Straits, three line- of battle ships in commission ; at home, six ; whereof one—the Queen, doing duty for Chatham, Sheer ness, and Portsmouth, all at once, has but half of her proper crew A Correspondent of the Times, who signs himself " Tom Tough," in a well-written letter, illustrates the system of bungling, improvidence, and invidiousness on which, what we shall take leave to call, the business of dispersing, discouraging, and disgust ing the seaman force of our navy, is carried on. This sailor complains as one of those suddenly thrown out of employ by late reductions in the navy, that, for the last three months, from 500 to 600 prime seamen (" able men," in the technical as well as ordinary sense of the phrase), have been starving about the purlieus of Portsmouth, vainly awaiting the commis sioning of the experimental brigs ;—that numbers of others who have been, all their lives men of wars' men, after pawning all they had for mere subsistence, have been compelled to go into the merchants' ser vice, not a few into that of America. Let us pause, here, to consider the hardship to which this great, but ungrateful nasal country, subjects those brave fellows, from whose undaunted intrepidity and never-tiring energy she derives so great a portion of her grandeur and power in the array of nations. The very zeal they display in her service, their matchless activity, coolness, and resolution in the discharge of their professional duty, by expediting the achievement of victory, if engaged on war duty, or the completion of any given service assigned to them in time of peace—work to their own disadvantage. They are paid off with a rapidity proportioned to the vigour of their operations; and then, too much after the fashion adopted with those whom Byron calls " The tools, the broken tools, which tyrants cast away," they are left uncared for—unprotected against those only dangers, the dangers of being ashore, against which they know not how to defend themselves—un provided for against the wretched destitution of that period at which their confirmed habits of a sea life, and their ignorance of all others, leave them the despoiled and helpless prey of all the arts wherewith the most nefarious fraud and wholesale dissipation, surround and overwhelm and ruin them in the first days of their inaction on shore. Why should we not provide asylums and a moderate sort of half-pay for these fine fellows, and thus accomplish at once the two in valuable ends of saving them from those sensual and degrading habits into which, at present, they are apt to plunge with a sort of reckless desperation —in the very despair of doing any good for themselves, or find ing themselves better off by abstaining from them!; —and of having always in hand as it were—at our call—in any emergency —a permanent reserve of able [nen, from whom certain proportions might be drafted into our ships of war, and incorporated with a suffi cient number of newer or younger hands to com plete their respective compliments ? The very ex pense, even, of such a scheme, would scarcely exceed that entailed by our present clumsy, impolitic, and inadequate modes of advertising, bounty-giving, crimping, sending round steamers to pick men up in outports—and, worst of all, occasional impress ment. But the result would be to get able hands instead of raw landsmen--expert sailors, accustomed to handle great guns as well as sails—and to render the service so popular and desirable, that every un employed able hand should be volunteering to enter' on the first vacancy which might offer. In this way we should assuredly revive the enthusiasm of the force (which was only equalled by its never-failing daring), that imparted their brightest lustre to the laurels of DUNCAN, and ST. VocEzir, and NELSON. We should hear no more of British seamen fighting under other colours than those of their native country, for that country wants but one tie more irrevocably to attach the bravest of her sons to her ser vice and her vindication, and that is, the ensuring, not alone for their old age, or for the physical disability, resulting from wounds and injuries sustained in her cause, but for those seasons of enforced and reluctant retirement from active ser vice, some certain, though small, provision for their subsistence. The charge upon the country for such provision ought not of itself to stand in the way of the adoption of some such plan ; for, in the meanwhile, what are the dangers we are incurring in the absence if any such arrangements ? The writer we have quoted from above, remarks, on the entry of 100 sea men on the dockyard-books, in lieu of 100 labourers, that good seamen, accustomed to an active life and ever-changing scenes, would soon grow weary of such occupation as this plan opens to them. lie says that no able seaman worth having, will respond to the invitation now promulgated to them, to enter on board he flag-ships of the Admiral superintendents; for sailors like to know something of the captain they are to sail under. But these facts are also fearfully significant. lle talks of the "number of seamen now strolling about the streets of Portsmouth, who have pawned everything they have rather than do so, and, by and bye, when the Admiralty take it into their wise heads to com mission some ships, these fine old men-of-war's men will be refused because their kit is not complete, and they have not got a good change of clothing." • • • " Some years ago, out of twenty-six able seamen who were paid off from a brig at this port with me, nine teen left the port for New York, unable to get another ship, and are now in the American navy. This is the way, after J o h n B ull has been put to the expense of making sailors, they are treated; and it is a proof of the badness of the system, and the utter disregard that the Government has for th em w h en they no longer want their services." w e ask, how the Admiralty propose to get any respectable squadr on, if they had one in commission, efficiently manned, under their present pedlarising and stop-gap system ? They know the thing to be impossible. What will they do, then, to secure an object, the immeasurable importance of which has just been demonstrated by the very dangers to which their antiquated management would have been so utterly unequal ? We have weathered the Otaheite gale. We have worked out of the storm that so nearly overtook us at Tangiers and at Mogadore. If our Admiralty are not instantly up and doing, we may be overtaken, in our present unprepared state, in a tempest blowing from the direction of Tunis. Lord DENMAN, in the course of the elaborate opinion which he delivered on 'Wednesday in the House of Peers on the subject of the Irish State Trials—an opinion which, as Mr. DUWCOMBE justly observed on Thursday in the House of Commons, ought to be laid on the table and printed in letters of gold—his Lord ship, we say, in the course of this luminous and straightforward opinion, made the following sensible observations in reference to the studied ambiguity of certain legal processes :—" In his opinion there could not be a greater grievance and oppres sion than these endless, unintelligible, un wieldy, voluminous indictments. An indict ment extending over fifty-seven pages was in itself a grievance ; many prisoners could not af ford to pay the clerk of the peace for a copy; and when they got it, the most learned persons could scarcely find out what the prisoners were charged with. The words were so ambiguous that it might be that the pleader who drew it up might mean one thing, the jury another, the Judge a third, and the Court of Error a fourth, if they did not overthrow the whole judgment." The verboseness, the circum locution, the obscurity, and the perplexing technical jargon in which the law too often wraps up its meaning, like a silkworm thickly enveloped within the folds of its own web, has long been a subject of regret with the public, and productive of a world of embarrassment to judges, jurymen, counsel, and in deed to all connected with the administration of jus tice, with the sole exception, perhaps, of pleaders and solicitors, who have an interest in indulging in a surplusage of counts and phrases, and making every indictment as full and circumstantial as possible, no matter how absurd and tautologous one-half the circumstances set forth in such indictments may be. Now surely of all professions in the world the Law is that which should be most remarkable for the clearness, the straightforwardnes4, the simplicity, and the direct, obvious, common-sense of its proceedings! Its phraseology should be carefully pruned of all verbal excrescences ; its technicalities—at present so happily adapted to mislead and bewilder rather than to convince—should be reduced within the narrowest possible limits compatible with propriety ; and its meaning he rendered so transparent as to be intelli gible to the obtusest capacity. Is this the case with the Law, as it is now practised in some of its most material departments ? Far otherwise. In an infinite number of instances that we could enumerate, were it worth while, its language is the very reverse of simple and concise ; it is, in fact, stu diously ambiguous, and elaborately tautological ; the meaning that might be efficiently expressed in a single sentence, is spread over a dozen, and necessarily en feebled by the diffusion ; where one or two counts would suffice to answer every rational purpose, six or eight, and frequently as many more, - . are had recourse to; in short, epithet is piled upon epithet, and repeti tion upon repetition, till the mind fairly reels and staggers beneath the cumbrous load of verbiage remorselessly pressed upon its attention, as if —one would almost be tempted to suppose—for the perverse purpose of confounding and paralysing its powers of judgment 1 The Law's delay has long been a fruitful subject of complaint among the people ; but the Law's enigmatical tautology is quite as legitimate a griev ance. We see its results in the Irish State Trials, where all parties conce rne d seem t o have been involved in a labyrinth of perplexities, simply in consequence of the lax, ambiguous, and unsatisfactory manner in which the, pleadings were drawn up. Of late years—thanks to Sir ROBERT PEEL —many excellent, substaitial reforms have been effected in the Law, which has been rendered infinitely more simple and intelligible than it was in the glorious days of the pedantic, adust, black-letter old lawyers ; but much yet remains to be done, ere it can be said to be per fectly and harmoniously in accordance with common sense. And here, while glancing at the question of Law Reform, we cannot refrain from just briefly alluding to the exceedingly confused, verbose, and perplexing manner in which—in far too many cases —our Acts of Parliament are drawn up. We have seen some that were more puzzling than the riddle of the Sphynx ; and 10, when in the extremity of our bewilderment, we have turned for enlightenment to the explanatory notes in the margin, we have found that, so far from diminishing, they only tended to increase our per plexity, and we have at length been compelled to cry out with Puff in the Critic, " Egad, the interpreter is the hardest to be under- stood of the two !" Now, if it be worth while to draw up a Parliamentary Act, surely it is worth while to draw it up in such a manner as shall render it generally intelligible ; and not in the wordy, con fused style adopted throughout the Inclosure of Commons Act, whose meaning was so studiously concealed beneath a cloud of vague phraseology, that it was worthy only of being transmitted to the Bri tish Museum, as a legislative curiosity of the first water ! We learn from Madrid papers of the 29th ult. that the Opposition party began to show some symptoms of life. The forthcoming elections have excited gene ral interest, and both Carlists and Progresistas were in the field. The former, it was believed, would be successful in Old Castile, and at Palencia Senors OLOZAGA, MADOZ, LOPEZ, and SEOANE had come for ward as candidates. The Government, it is said, are busily engaged in frothing measures for the delibera tion of the Cortes, which, we believe, will assemble next month. The following notice appears in the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29th of August : " The Governor has received an official communica tion, in which it is stated that all the Moorish subjects who had fled from Tangiers have been permitted to re turn, and that the gates will always be open to them. It is added, in the same dispatch, that the British sub jects, who, in returning to Tangiers, may have no other object than that of gratifying their curiosity, are im plored neither to enter nor remain in the town, so long as the Morocco question shall continue in its present state. This does not, of course, apply to the servants of her Majesty, nor to those whom commercial affairs may oblige to reside in the town." The Three per Cents. were done at 27i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20, and the Coupons at 254 at 60 days ; and the Floating Debt at 60f at 50 days. Certain of the Paris journals, which must have pe• culiar sources of information, gravely describe what has taken place at several Cabinet Councils in Lon don in reference to the settlement of the Otaheite question. One of them states that the " Cabinet Coun cil held on Monday last was adjourned to Tuesday, merely because it was deemed advisable, considering the gravity of the affair under deliberation, that the council should be as numerous as possible, and the Duke of BUCCLEUCTI, the Earl of RIPON, and Mr. GLADSTONE, were absent. There existed no differ ence of opinion between Lord ABERDEEN, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Sir R. PEEL. All three were agreed that the satisfaction offered by France was not sufficient. M. D'Aunic rir ought to be recalled, because he commanded the arrest of Mr. PRITCHARD, and M. BRUAT for having ordered his expulsion. The Eng lish Cabinet declared against France, not only on the question of fact, but on the question of right, How ever criminal the conduct of a British agent, it escapes every interference, and the flag covers the Consul even should he fire;or cause others to fire, against us.' M. THUM& journal gives rather a different report of the deliberations of the English Ministers. "It was reported," says the Constitutionnel, " on Tuesday afternoon that the Government had received by ex traordinary express the substance of what passed at the Cabinet Council on Monday last. After the question pending between France and England was introduced by Lord ABERDEEN, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sir R. PEEL proposed that the reparation offered by the French Cabinet should be rejected as insufficient; the Duke of WELLINGTON was of the same opinion; but Lord ABERDEEN observed, that to refuse the reparation offered by M. GUIZOT would be to compel that Minister and his colleagues to resign, and thus expose the good understanding existing be tween the two Governments. The Council adjourned to the following day without coming to a determina tion. It is believed that the Minister for Foreign Affairs will succeed in convincing Sir R.

Marian 21nt. LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1844, The Tory journals are in the depths of despair at the release of Mr. O'CONNELL and his colleagues by the decision of three Whig Lords. The Post blames us for reproaching Lord LANGDALE because he did not support his party, and thereby infers that we re garded the opinions of Lords DENMAN, COTTENHAM, and CAMPBELL, as given for party motives. It would he difficult to find more conscientious and up right men than these three Noble Lords, even among the exemplary bench of England. We believed that they gave their judgment from the strongest conviction that they were right, and their unanswerable arguments bear us out in the statement. Our reason for blaming Lord LANG DALE was this. He knew well that a majority of the House of Lords were hostile to Mr. O'CONNELL he knew that if the questions at issue came to a ge neral vote, the Tory votes would prevail; yet h( neither lent his powerful talents nor his vote to avert such a calamity. The man who asserts that it would not have become a party question but for the inter position of Lord WilikaNcurrE, requires no answer. The Tory Peers on the benches numbered two to one compared with their opponents. Several of them, who had not heard the arguments, and knew as little about the points at issue as the man in the moon, cried out, " Not content." Fortunately, the discretion of the Government, which the Poet hates more than it hated the old Whigs, saved the character of the House, and for once did justice to Ireland. This is the real ground of complaint. The Tories, supposing it would be made a party question (and who did not ?), believed that the judges had crammed the lay Peers, and that the here ditary legislators would, as in duty bound, implicitly bow to their opinion, without taking into account one very important consideration, namely, that the whole merits of the case were not placed before them. The questions for al their decisio n were drawn up in the roost esuitic shape ,they we re drawn up by Tory functionaries; and but for the admirable exposition of Lord DENMAN and his colleagues, Mr. O'CONNELL and his friends would have been left to linger in prison on the verdict of a jury, which every man of common sense and honesty now admits was not pro perly constituted. However, the wrong is redressed, and we rejoice to find that it gives the old oppressors of Ireland such annoyance. In the reply of Sir ROBERT PEEL on Thurs lay af.. ternoon to the questions of Sir CHARLES Nariza and Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE, we are bound to as sume that the Premier stated with perfect sincerity his conviction that the French and English Govern ments had arrived at an amicable adjustment of the causes of offence—the somewhat threatening differ ences of opinion —which had arisen between them in connexion with the affair at Otaheite, and the bombardment of Tangiers and Mogadore. But as the Right lion. Baronet absolutely declined to enter into any particulars of the terms or conditions on which our neighbours have consented to give us =atisfaction Other journals, however, take a different view of he results, and infer that before the EMPEROR yields to the conditions of France, more battles and more bombardments must take place. The National which hates peace in every shape and in any quarter, thus attacks the Ministry for leaving the work half done to please England : "After the victory you retr ea t as you wou ld h ave d one after aflefeat. In place of leadin g your army aga i nst the enemy, you.withdrew it. In place of occupying his fron tier, you return to your own. What do you expect that he should fear, unless he should become afraid of a shadow ? By declaring that under no circum stances would France make a war of conquest against Morocco, that she regarded as absurd and insane, not only all extension of the Algerine terri tory, but all durable occupation of any portion of the Moorish coast—that after the war, as well as previ ously, the French Government would never require from Morocco, any cession of town or terr i tory—that the same motives which dictated this declaration still existed, and that her word of honour was publicly pledged to that effect in the face of Europe, —in making that decla ration, the Government had acted directly against its object. There are but two modes of conquering an enemy— to do him injury, or to cause him to fear you. It was precisely because you were determined not to in jure the Emperor of Morocco that you ought to have frightened him. This extension of our territory, this permanent occupation of the towns, should have been suspended over his head as the inevitable consequence of encouraging our enemies on his frontier. It was neces sary to make him comprehend that the consequence of hostilities might be not the easily repaired loss of some millions, but the inevitable loss of his empire. But no whilst our soldiers and seamen were courageously fulfill ing their duty on the double frontier of Morocco, your eyes were fixed in another direction. A single idea England against you, w hi c h was t o secu r e against a contingency which did not regard her, to give to her implacable jealousy a pledge of a word of honour w hi c h s h e h a d ne ith e r th e right to inquire nor to solicit. And it is thus that, in order to avoid some immediate difficulties, yon have spontaneously excited others mor e cons id era bl e . Th e wa r is not con cluded, and the Emperor, who is aware that in any c ase you will not att ac k hi m b e f ore next s p ring , will probably not hasten to grant you what you demand. In this position, what will you do ? Will you evacuate the island of Mogadore, according to the word of honour you have given ? A n d t h en t h e b om b ar d men t will have been a mere useless cruelty, which will give the Moors a right to curse and m oc k y ou , or you w ill h ave violated your sacred engagement—you will have violated your word of honour—you will indefinitely have prolonged i s occupa tion which ought t o b e b u t temporar y ; and n that case you will have admitted that England had a right to occupy herself with a war so important for her, and you will find in your road that systematic malevolence, those exigenc'es, and those threats, before which you at pre sent fly." Several of the journals express great indignation at what they regard the ungrateful return made by Belgium for all the blessings conferred on her by France. In reference to the late commercial treaty which the former country has entered into with Germany, the Quotidienne says:— " The commercial tie which is about to bind Belgium to Germany will, if it takes place, become a political bond, and the powers who condemned Belgium to neu trality will willingly revoke their sentence as soon as they think that they can make Belgium what they did in 1815—the advanced guard of Germany against France. Certainly it was not with this view that the Revolution of July bestowed upon her daughter, Belgium, men and money with so much prodigality ; it was not to this end that the Chamber of Deputies endowed the Princess, who was to be a bond of peace between the two people; but Belgium looks rather to the future than to the past, and seeks for guarantees in Germany, because the alli ance with and protection of the Government inflicted upon us inspires her with no more confidence than it acquires from the other States. This is daily revealed by facts the weakness of the policy which presides over our destinies ; every day our isolation is drawn closer and closer, and the circle becomes more and more nar row. Can we then be astonished that our rulers should be attached to England ; for if England should abandon them what would remain to them?" The National is equally indignant : "We cannot blame Belgium for having thus attached herself to Germany. The little kingdom of Leopold cannot exist without the support of others. Severed from Holland, she had to choose between Germany and France ; and since France, from fear of offending foreign Powers, and giving dissatisfaction t o th e magnates of her own commerce and !ndustry, seemed t o b e afraid of form ing a closer connexion with her, she was forced to throw herself into the arms of Germany. W e have long fore seen this result ; but it is nevertheless to be deplored. It has been, indeed, a great fault thus to have allowed the port of Antwerp to become is the th e port of t h e Con federation, of which Prussia the chief. If we could have granted to Belgium the same advantages as the Zoll verein has afforded her, she would, no d ou bt, h ave pre fer r a e d party h o d i w ng hi f cli ast oc t c o up °ll ie r s i l t i s l e a l n f c l e •ery littl e w i t h the but we are g o ve rned by poli tical interests of France, provided her cloths, her coals, and her iron be not exposed to any serious competition. It is the same party which appropriates all the railroads, and monopolises the power of domination in all things. Let Antwerp become a Prussian port—it will cause no concern to this party. It would as willingly give up Dun kirk and Bordeaux to the English, if , b y do i ng so, i t might hope to see the coal min e and railroad shares quoted on 'Change at higher prices." - The French Funds fell considerably on IVednesday, ,he Three per Cents. 70 centimes, and the Fives 60 centimes.

We learn, also, that a number of Lord Glenlyon's followers have again been in training to give her Majesty a suit able reception, and the gillies and foresters are all in readiness. The game of the moors and the fleet denizens ' of the forest have been strictly preserved, and every thing will be in the highest order for the enjoyment of the sports peculiar to the Perthshire mountains. The royal party could not have chosen a field in her Majesty's dominions where the chase in all its varieties can be en joyed to greater perfection. The great forest of Athole abounds with the antlered tribe of every class. Glentilt, tahe p lm os e t n a c t il th o e f gorge of ; s which, on a commanding site, stands the Ca s tl e o f Blair, has been immortalised by always copied n a t ure, l ays the scene of the stag h un t, of which he giv es such a beautiful and rcraantte—ve might add subli me —d e scription in ono of his imperish abletahnadt it Sir was Walter in Scott, mountain who solitudes of th ese region national fi c ti ons. * * Those in the confidence of Lord Glenlyon now make no secret of the fact. The whole was openly announced at Blair on Monday even ing; and we may venture to add, as matter of certainty, that Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Liverpool, and others of her Majesty's responsible advisers, will constitute part of the royal suite.

TRADE or FRANCR.—Great activity is at present manifested at Nismes in all branches of its silk manuft c tures. The number of commands has rendered it difficult to Snd a sufficiency of workmen OM at higher prices than usual. the Duke of WELLINGTON that what the French Go vernment proposes is sufficient humiliation." The Opposition journals will, however, soon know the result of these deliberations, from the speech o one of the Ministers, and then the National, the Con stitutionnel, the Siecle, and journals of a similar spirit will raise an outcry against M. GuizoT sufficient to shake him out of his place. They will assert France has been sacrificed, the " stranger" has yielded to the menaces of England, and nothing is left for the country but humiliation and disgrace. There is no fresh intelligence in these papers from the Prince DE JOINVILLE, but we find in the Consti tutionnel an extract of a letter from an aide-de-camp of the Prince to the French Consul at Cadiz, dated on board the Pluton, August 17, which is in these words : " The Admiral has received orders to keep possession of the island of Mogadore, in which we ha►e placed a garrison. The possession of the island is equivalent to that of the city, and fulfils all our de.sires, insuring us a guarantee for the complete satisfaction of all our wrongs. The city will remain in a state of blockade, and conse quently the Emperor will be deprived of the large revenue he derived from its customs, which is wounding him in his most sensitive part. The campaign is thus brought to a close." There are accounts from the Mauritius this morning. There had been a considerable number of deaths from typhus fever. Improvements in the sanitory regulations were in progress. An advance of one per cent. on the lowest value of Con sols paid yesterday has taken place, some large amounts having been taken early in the d a y a t 99' 4 1 fur Account, and at 98 a for Money. At present the value is per cent. lower for each. The premium on Exchequer Bills have been sold at an advance to 765. premium.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE " DISPATCH." —The pro prietors of the Weekly Dispatch, i n a ddi t i on to the sup plements already given, and which comprise the whole of the proceedings in the Irish State Trials, with the view of rendering those Supplements complete, have deter mined upon presenting to their subscribers, to. morrow, a concluding Supplement of eight pages (gratis), containing the whole of the arguments in the House of Lords upon the Writ of Error, from Thursday, the 4th of July, up to Wednesday last, September the 4th. This Supplement will contain the brilliant speeches of Counsel on both sides ; and the decision of the Law Lords, in volving the reversal of the judgment in the case of Mr. O'Connell and others, and consequent release of all the " conspirators," together with the memorable speeches of Lords Denman, Cottenham, and Campbell, and the ob servations of Lord Brougham, the Lord Chancellor, &c. Orders received by all Newsvenders in town and coun try, and at the Dispatch Office, 139, Fleet-street. It is stated that the wheats in this county, where they have been got up hard and dry, weigh from 63 to 65 llas. per bushel, and the quality is bold and handsome. —Chelmsford Chronicle. THE SECOND or SEPTEMBER. —The "first" falling this year upon a Sunday, the birds were, as a matter of necessity, not from any particular affection towards them, afforded a respite for a day, and the slaughter began on Monday, one of the hottest days of the year. Accounts of the quantity of game vary, but we incline to the opinion that, generally speaking, they must be somewhat scarce, and certainly shy. A dry spring may be less destructive than a thoroughly wet one, but both are unfavourable to the incubation and the young birds ; at the same time, in some localities, partridges appear to be abundant, and we have ourselves seen coveys of from thirty to forty each. The early clearance of the wheat crop, however, and the little cover afforded by turnips, have made them very shy, and the general re turns of the first day's sport present nothing very re markable.--Hereford Paper. PROSPECTS IN SOUTH AND NORTH LANCASHIRE.— The Liberal prospects are very cheering here. The Conservatives are already calling out for aid. The League is moving with great and successful strides, and their stirring agent, Mr. Moorhouse, is seen in every direction, " book in hand," carefully collecting the neces sary " news" for victory. The proud spirit of the noble house of Derby will be humbled, an d M r . E ntw i s l e shorn of his late accidental laurels.—From a Corre spondent. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The Stock Market closes very firm this afternoon, Consols being 99y for Money, and 99i 4 for Account. India Stock touched 2831, and South Sea Sto c k, 115/.

The Cotton market at Liverpool continued flat yester dayj: sales 2,500 bales only at rather easier rates. In the Share market South-Eastern was a ready sale, but other shares were not so good :—Chester and Holyhead, 69; Grand Junction, Half, 108; Great Western, Half, 854; London and Birmingham, 220; London and York, 4; Manchester and Birmingham, Quarter, 51; Manches ter, Bolton, and Bury, 115; Manchester and Leeds, 125:}; Ditto, Half, 54; Sheffield and Manchester, 881; South- Eastern, 39; Ditto, New, 124; Paris and Rouen, 38i; Rouen and Havre, 191. The following notice was issued late yesterday : " Bank of England, Sept. 5, 1844. " At a Court of Directors, held this day, resolved— That the rate of interest on loans, for bills discounted at the Bank of England, be as follows :—Bills, 21 per cent. ; notes, 3 per cent. Such bills and notes not hav ing more than ninety-fire days to run." This alteration has not given satisfaction in the City. It will hurt, it is thought, most of the minor banking firms and discount brokers. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND thalltr 1 4 ptnton, " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Monday evening their Majesties, the King and Queen of the French, received the Pope's Nuncio, the Turkish Ambassador, the Egyptian Princes, the Mi nisters of Bavaria and Saxony, M. de Lesseps, and the Count de Grave. The King left Paris on Tuesday night for the Chateau d'Eu. He will, however, only remain there for two days, after which he will return to Neuilly. The Courrier Francais says :—" Some journals hare announced that the King's journey to England was post poned until after the arrangement of the Otaheite affair. It is now affirmed that this matter is settled, and that the journey will take place speedily. A medal, destined to perpetuate the remembrance of this visit, is already being prepared at the Mint." The Prince de Joinville, sari the Toulonnais of the Ist, immediately after the arrival of the division at Cadiz, was to repair in the Pluton steamer to Oran, to have an interview with Marshal Bugeaud, thence he was to pro ceed to Bona, to see his brother, the Duke d'Aumale, and from Bona to Toulon. On the Ist inst. all the au thorities of this last harbour were on the qui vive, ex pecting the Prince at every moment. The Commerce states that the Prince is about to re turn to Paris, where he is expected to arrive about the 20th of the present month. Orders have been received at Brest to put in commis sion the frigate Armide, and the advice boat Le Leger. At Cherbourg, also, the advice boats Rossignol and Cygogne are being fitted for sea with all expedition. The following appears in the ilioniteur:—"A commis sion was appointed by the Governor of Senegal in 1843, to report on the course of the River Fa'e lie, in Upper Senegambia, and the gold mines in the countries of Bondou and Bambouk. The Commission was composed of M. Huart, a pharmacian of the navy ; M. Raffenel, a clerk in the navy ; and M. Pottin Patterson, a native resident. After long and laborious excursions, the travellers quitted Faleme, and having arrived at the upper course of the Gambia, descended by that river to the English settlements, where they were received with the most cordial sympathy. From St. Mary, Bathurst, they returned by sea to St. Louis-de-Senegal. A report of this expedition having been made to the King by the Minister of the Marine, his Majesty has bestowed the order of the Legion of Honour on M. Reffenel. The same distinction had previously been conferred on M. Iluart, on the occasion of an excursion in the Cayor, the Yoliff, and on the banks of the lake Panieoul." The same journal states that the Emperor of Morocco has not quitted Mequinez, notwithstanding the gravi of circumstances; for that town contains his treasure, which is valued at fifty millions of francs, ranged in earthen pots in the cellars of his palace, of which he alone has the key. When he is absent, one of his sons watches over the precious deposit. His sons being now with the army, and the Emperor fearing that if he wero to absent himself his treasure would be stolen, as that of his predecessor was, he remains near it, surrounded by his guard, which consists of about 6,000 men. According to accounts from Toulon of the 31st of Au gust, a telegraphic dispatch had been received from Paris by Admiral Bauden, the Maritime Prefect, to press the arming of all vessels now on the stocks. The re cruiting of sailors was carried on to an extent as if pre parations were making for a formidable war. There ap peared to be a great difficulty in procuring able-bodied men. Among the personages of distinction recently arrived at Marseilles the journals of that port mention a nephew of the King of Prussia, travelling under the name of Count de Tucklenburg. The Berlin official Gazette publishes the treaty be tween France, Prussia, Austria, and R uss i a , f or t h e abo lition of the slave-trade. The treaty is dated the 28th December, 1841, and added to it, is an ordonnance of the Bth July, declaring the penalties to those who violate the stipulations. The Germanic Diet closed its sittings on the 31st ult., after deciding that it should re-assemble on the sth of January. LAW AND POLICE. The House of Lords gave judgment on Thursday in several out-standing appeal cases. Alfred Dallenger, the young creole, who has been before brought up at the Guildhall on a charge of burglary at the Stirling Castle public-house, London wall, was fully committed for trial by Mr. Alderman Wood. At Marlborough -street Mr. William Collin Smith, barrister, No. 10, Victoria-grove, was charged with having been drunk and riotous at one o'clock in the morning. The defendant denied that he had been drunk or riotous, and stated his intention to go before the Com missioners to lodge a charge against the police-constable who had arrested him. Mr. Hardwick, however, con sidered the case to be proved, and inflicted a fine of 40s. Mr. Stephen Murphy, of Spencer-street, Northamp ton-square, was placed at the bar of the Clerkenwell Police court, pursuant to his recognisance, charged with having caused the death of Samuel Rogers, &c. He was remanded until Tuesday. At Marylebone a young woman, named Emma Tier buck, in the service of Benjamin Badger, Esq a bar rister, residin g a t N o . 22, Cambridge-street, idgware road, charged with having stolen articles of jewellery and other property of much value, was fully committed for trial. James Dean Smith, a labouring man, residing at No. 2, James street, Commercial-road, was remanded from the Lambeth-street Police-court on a charge of stabbing James Deans. A Jew earthenware dealer, named Lewis Henry Jacobs, was charged at Worship-street with having feloniously uttered a forged acceptance for 151, with in tent . to defraud Mr. William Harvey, a bricklayer, re siding in Tyssen-place, Kingsland-road. The acceptance purported to be that of W. Simmons, tobacconist, High street, Newington. The prisoner was remanded. At Union-hall, Sarah Drew, a woman advanced in years, was brought before Mr. Cottenham, charged with administering poison to Richard Drew, her husband, with intent to deprive him of life. The prisoner and her husband lived very unhappily together, and the charge was that she had put arsenic into his tea while he was attending to acustomer in his shop—a circulating library. She was remanded. At the Thames Police-court, Alexander Walker, en gineer, was charged with using profane language and creating a disturbance in Stepney old church. The pri soner, who said he was a Scotch Presbyterian, had en. tered the church on Wednesday evening while the curate was preaching, and had interrupted the service by ex claiming in a loud voice—" It is a lie—a lie." He was ordered to find securities for his good behaviour for six months, and in default committed. Francis Addison, a black man, charged with stealing a Maltese gold chain, with a gold pencil-case attached, value 20 guineas, from the American ship William Engs, lying at Gravesend, of which he was steward, was fully committed. The articles were the property of Mrs. Plimney, one of the passengers. COtraIr—PASZIONABLZI. The Marquis of Anglesey's cutter yacht the Pearl has come up the river from Cowes. Ilis Lordship, after laying up his yacht, will entertain a party at Beaudesert with the sport of partridge shooting. The Marquis of Conyngham and family, in the Flower of Yarrow yacht, with the Marquis and Marchioness of Blandford, in the Wave cutter yacht, and other members of the yacht squadron, have arrived at Plymouth. Earl Fitzwilliam will commence his annual series of public dinners next week at Wentworth House, near Rotherham, where a family party has assembled. His Excellency Baron Brunnow arrived in town from Brighton on Thursday, and bad the honour of dining with the Prince of Prussia, at the residence of the Legation last evening. Lady Caroline Towneley, the Hon. Miss Addington, Captain Sir Henry Hart, R.N., and lady, Mr. Clive, &c., were amongst the passengers, whoarrived on Thurs day morning from Belgium and the Rhine, by the steamer Antwerpen, Captain Jackson. Captain Ormsby, Captain Chambers, W. Beech, Esq., and family, Lenox Cunningham, Esq., Dr. Leffarth, and Captain Williams and family, were among the passen gers that embarked at Blackwall on the same day on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Soho, for Antwerp. His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar arrived in town yesterday from Braemar, the Duke of Leeds's sporting seat in the Highlands. ATISCELLII2IIIIIOV/5. At a Quarterly Court of the Caledonian Asylum held on Thursday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, the resolu tion agreed to at a former meeting that the appointment of master should be confined exclusively to members of the Church of Scotland was affirmed. Mr. Gartlan, one of the agents for Mr. O'Connell and the other prisoners, left London on Thursday evening with the formal warrants, for their discharge. Vice-Chancellor Wigram has just pronounced an im portant decision in reference to Scotch churches in Eng land, viz., that their connection with the English Pres byterian Synod does not, as the seceders have pretended, enable Free Secession ministers to hold these places of worship. The Post thus laments the low price of provisions . The best Norfolk wheat was selling on Saturday last at 465. per quarter. American hams of the finest de scription may . now be retailed at 4d. per pound. What banker can, in such circumstan ces , venture to aid the farmers who surround him ? What, in such circum stances, is the value of agricultural property ? How long may the solvency of the great majority of our farmers be assumed as a probability ?" During the last few days a number of workmen have been employed pulling down the old Standard Theatre, Shoreditch, and twelve houses adjoining, preparatory to rebuilding a new an d s p ac i ous t h eatre on the same site.
