In the House of Lords the Earl of CLARENDON asked Lord ABERDEEN if he had any objection to produce the correspondence which had taken place between the Go'Vernment and Don CARLOS, relative to the marriage of his son with the Queen of SPAIN. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not consider it expe a/.,nt to produce the correspondence, but, at the same five, admitted a letter had been addressed to him on the part of Don CARLOS, offering to resign his pre tensions to the Spanish Crown, on condition of the marriage of his son with Queen ISABE LI. A. He had minrunicated the fact to the Spanish Government, withot# pressing for an answer. Lord BROUGHAM moved the third reading of the Insolvent Debtors' Act Amendment Bill. The ob ject of the Bill was to screen unfortunate debtors, and not those guilty of fraud or contumacious con duct. . After mine discussion, the Bill was referred to a Select Committee. Lord COTTENHAM then moved the third reading of his Bill on the same subject. The LORD CHA-ticELLoa moved that it be recom mitted. A division took place, when there were for the third reading, 4 ; and a ga i nst i t, 28. The Bill was then referred to a Select Committee, in com pany with Lord BuouonAsis,and the House Ad journed at Half-past Nine. - After the presentation of petitions and some other rr. business of little importan ce in the Commons, 6IRISTIE asked the SOLICITOR-GENERAL whether the currant report was true, that, at the election f or A.bingdon, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had distributed 50/. arnzng the crowd from a bag of money In his lap. The speech of the Hon. Member on this Ev,bject.is very amusing and instructive. The SOLI CITOR-GENERAL did not deny the charge, but he found Fault with the mode of putting questions to Members. ale could not deny, however, that he had received due notice ; for he candidly ad shifted that Mr. CHRISTIE had informed him week ago that he would put the question, but 6t the same time he must state that he could not 4give his sancti o n to s u c h a pra c ti ce , an d th a t h e mus t ecline answering the question. Is everything going Lo wreck in this Conservative GOvernment ? The. fend law-officer of the Crown is charged with a heinous offence, and he tosses up his head and says, ai I will not plead." We hope Mr. CHRISTIE will riot lose sight of the question. Of what use is it for the Commons to order the law-officers of the Crown ,go indict Sudbury for bribery and corruption, ifj the SOLICITOR-GENERAL is charged with the same offence, and cannot deny the charge ? Sir FREDERICK THE 3IGER is much mistaken if he thinks that any class of the community will suffer such insolence. In answer to a question from Mr. SHEIL relative to national education in Ireland, of which he had given notice, Sir R. PEEL cautioned Hon. Members not to place implicit confidence in newspaper reports, and asserted that the instructions to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland were to give the patronage of the Government to those who had the best claims on the ground of professional merit and character. On the report of the Sugar Duties Bill being brought up, Mr. EWART moved that slave and free labour sugar be admitted on the payment of equal duties. A division took place, when there were for the motion 65, and against it 183. The Bill was or dered to be read a third time on Monday, with the understanding that the Bank Charter Bill should have the precedence. The House went into Committee on the Dissen ters' Chapels Bill, when the principal clauses were agreed to, the amendments being rejected. The House then resumed, and the report was brought up and or dered to be received on Monday. The County Coroners Bill was read a third time, after an amendment, proposed by Mr. HumE, had been rejected by a majority of 18. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock. In reply to a question put by Captain LAYARD on Thursday in the House of Commons, with regard to the r Amoured resignation of Earl DE GREY, the present Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, Sir ROBERT PEEL said, that there was no truth whatever in the report, but added that at the same time he did not mean to say that his Lordship's state of health had not for some months past made him anxious to be relieved from his present office. "At a later period of the evening," observes a morning Contemporary, " the Premier further qualified his first unqualified statement by an nouncing that an immediate change in the Irish Go vernment was in contemplation, but that it was solely in consequence of Earl DE GREY'S health." Lordship's indisposition has occurred at a most fortunate season—just in time, in fact, to save his political cha racter, and rescue him from the annoyance and humi liation of an abrupt recal. He will now, we presume, be speedily disembarassed of the toils and resposibi lities attending his Viceroyalty—far luckier in this respect than Lord ELLENBOROUGH, who has no con venient illness to plead in explanation of his hasty recal from India. Ministers seem to be peculiarly unfortunate in some of their most important appoint ments, for their Viceroy in the West appears to have given them as much trouble as their Governor- General in the East ; and as the former has added to the weight and multitude of their perplexities in Ireland, so the latter has very nearly got them into a squabble with the East India Company. As re gards the particular case of Earl DE GREY, we look upon his resignation as a matter imperatively called for under the existing circumstances of the sister country, and we are only surprised that it has been so long delayed. Had his Lordship retired some months earlier, he would have better consulted his own dignity'; for, from the first moment of his entering upon the Viceroyalty, his administration has been one long blunder—or rather a series of petty, provoking blunders, which have occasioned quite as much ridicule as indignation. Professing the strictest im partiality in his conduct, his legal and other appoint ments were all, with but one or two unimportant ex ceptions, of a one-sided character. Then, the mode in which he arrayed himself in hostility to the Re peaters, and the nature of the military precautions he adopted against their apprehended insurrection— could anything be more absurd—more calculated to increase the general discontent of all parties, Orange men as well as Catholics ? We say nothing of his fortification of the Dublin Pigeon-house —of his placing a couple of extra sentinels at the gates o the Castle, in order to drive away the invading army of the Corn Exchange—of the hurried voyage of troops, per steam-boat, without their dinners, to Waterford, and of their still more hurried voyage back again, after finding, to their infinite disappoint ment, not a single insurgent in the city, but only a deaf old woman selling matches on the quay— of the rebuilding of the crazy old forts on the Shannon, and the late miserable and truly dignified crusade against the Repeal buttons ;—we say nothing of all these multiplied fool eries ; but think of the summary dismissal of many of the most respectable and efficient Magistrates in Ireland, a proceeding whose only effect, as might have been anticipated, was to increase the Repeal ferment ; think of the forbearance shown for months, during the hottest periods of the agitation, towards Mr. O'CosTNELL and the monster-meetings; and then, when these meetings were just about to terminate for the season, and the Liberator had announced his in tention of retiring for a time into the privacy of Derrinane—of the sudden exhibition made of official vigour in the putting down of the Clontarf meeting, under circumstances which—had it not been for the exertions of O'CONNELL and his indefatigable colleague TOM STEELE—might have caused the blood of the people to flow in torrents, and made quite an Aceldama of the field of Clontarf;—think, we say, of these things, and then, reader, whether you be Whig, Tory, or Radical, you will scarcely fail to agree with us in opinion, that Earl DE GREY'S Administration was throughout one long blunder, and that a more in competent Viceroy could scarcely have been selected for Ireland at such a feverish crisis. When his Lord ship first entered on his high post, he found—thanks to the enlightened sway of the Marquis of NORMANBY and Earl FORTESCUE—the country in a comparatively tranquil state ; but, before he had been six months in office, it was in a state of agitation from one end to the other; and when he leaves it, he will leave it overrun with troops, horse, foot, and artillery; vigi lantly watched by steam war-ships; and treated with little less ceremony than if it were a conquered pro vince, instead of en integral part of the British Empire ! Such is the legacy which a Tory Lord- Lieutenant will leave, on his resignation, to insulted and oppressed Ireland! We shall be exceedingly curious to know whom Sir ROBERT:PEEL will appoin as the successor of Earl DE GREY. 'We shall not be suspected of any extraordinary affection for Sir ROBERT PEEL, On general princi ples, and as to many prominent departments of his ministerial policy, we have ever been decidedly op posed to him. If we have freely given him all credit for some important relaxations of the screw of mono poly, and for his not unfrequent exhibitions of a spirit of conciliation and liberality in dealing with religious dissent, and the political disabilities formerly conse quent thereon, we have never disassociated him from a party hostile to the intellectual improvement, the mo ral amelioration, and the political progress of the people. But we would willingly see his Government, so long as it is destined to last, available to these great objects, whether he himself feel a personal interest in their achievement or not. Neither the Right Hon. Baronet (were his public services or merits double what they really have been), nor his party (were its preten sions to the advancement of a generous and enlightened statesmanship tenfold all that can be predicated of its actual career), will weigh with us for one moment against what we consider to be the true interests of the people. In the name of these interests we must, renew our protest of Wednesday against the principle and the tone of Sir Ron Ear's proceeding on the sugar duties question on Monday evening last. We will assume, for the purposes of this protest, that owing to the delay which must be interposed, at the present critical conjuncture of affairs, to the trans action of the public business from any change of ad ministration, by reason of difficulty in finding parti cular individuals in the ranks of Opposition sufficiently qualified for particular offices, or, being so qualified, sufficiently willing to accept them, such a change of administration would be politically inexpedient for the nation. This is an hypothesis surely not unfavourable or unfriendly to the case of Sir ROBERT ; and yet we contend that, in reference evfm to this, the whole speech and deportment of the Right Hon. Bar one t, on the occasion in question, were not only calculated to prejudice, but must have inevitably damaged his cause, and the duration of his tenure of office. Sir ROBERT PEEL complained, on Monday night, that " there was a combination of parties against him ;" and he showed himself at once irritable a n d unwise in denouncing the attempt which had bee n made by the West India interest to enlist the agricul tural or landed interest under their banner, on that occasion, by proclaiming the common danger that would accrue to both these great bodies in the event of Ministers being enabled to carry a certain scheme of duties, which in practical operation must be fatal to the one immediately—and, in the application. of its principle, must ultimately prove just as fatal, to the other. Why, the West India body, in that :appeal, were only paying the compliment to the Pfeinier of accurately copying his own tactics ! By wl tat, other arts did the Right Hon. Baronet carry his Currency Bill in 1819, or his Tariff two years ago,.. or the Catholic Emancipation Bill in 1829, or 'the No- Confidence votes against former Governments to which he was in opposition, or his most unconstitutialal In come and Property-tax in 1842, or his Bank 'Charter Renewal Bill of the present session—but by e Misting the apprehensions of one class in aid of the ( - lc 'sires of another ; or by operating on the alarms of :separate sections of political opponents, through the ar:gument that the interests of each must be sacrificed to, - those of another, unless the whole would consult their common advantage by concurring in the propositions su 'milted by him for their adoption ? In these puel re proaches Sir ROBERT did injustice to himself', as the Great Original Artificer of these successful a malga mations of heterogeneous materials of hostile t action into one mass of flexible supporters. He had, already worked Protestants and Dissenters, Calvinis is and Roman Catholics, manufacturers and farmers, opera tive labourers, and master millowners, Rad;:c als and Tories, bankers and bullionists, debtors and er editors, mortgagees and mortgagors, into a concordTa discors on the above-named occasions, and as often tart others as occasion required. Why should he quarrel with Mr. PHILIP MILES for doing a little kneading of the same kind, on his own account ; and flavouring with the sugar of our 'West Indian colonists the col .n pro duced here by British growers? Sir ROBERT PEEL, moreover, talked on IV ronday night as if it were in the nature of mere factio' as ob struction to Ministers of the Crown, to propose a mend ments on fiscal regulations which those Minister s, " in the exercise of their highest duty," and with t he ad vantage of all the official information in existfx ace on the subject before them—had, after mature tul d an xious deliberation, recommended to Parliatme:at for adoption. But this notion is grounded on 8 mere childish absurdity of assumption ; namely, th it the Ministers of the Crown must necessarily have mas tered the whole bearings of such official inform ation ; and, by a species of patent infallibility, have tr.-rived at the soundest possible conclusions upon it. Rut; this impatience on the part of the Premier of the eLaalreisa, on the part of representatives of the people or that which is—constitutionally and positively, net con ventionally, only—their first duty to their con stituents—is the most unreasonable, the most umlike an English Statesman, we remember to have re ad of. The fact seems to be that Sir ROBERT PEEP, is so spoiled with the success of his dictation in some :recent and memorable cases, that he anticipates, fror a the House of Commons at large, the same blind, u nrea soning deference which he habitually extracts fro .m his supporters within its walls, but which Mr. D'lss with equal spirit and emphasis, indignantly repudiated for himself and the friends who usually vote witi i him. TI e last and most commonplace artifice to which the Premier resorted, whilst still under the 'nal! uence of his fears, and before the result of the incredible division of Monday had re-assured him —was, the threat of abandoning office if the House should ne gative the Government scale, and affirm that pia )posed by Mr. MILES. We will not weaken the effect of the manly and indignant castigation which this threat received from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who remarked that such a process of attempted intimidation con sisted neither with the constitutional demeanour. of a Member of Parliament, nor the responsible positir.n of a Minister of the Crown—its obvious design being-Ito deter Members from the free and frank expression aif their opinions, by considerations extraneous to the, merits of the • question really before them. But -tv e would remind Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, that he adopts the surest means of losing his personal influence with the House at large, of enfeebling his own party, and com promising his own control over it, by these ill-timed ebullitions of an unbecoming vexation, and these vexatious airs of an unbecoming authority. Madrid journals of the 13th have been , received. According to some of them, reports prevailed that the Cortes would be dissolved on the 10th of July, and the new Cortes summoned for the 10th of October, when the QUEEN would attain her real majority. A re view of troops, on a grand scale, was to take place at Madrid in a few days. Deputations from many of the surrounding provinces had arrived at Barcelona to have audiences of their MAJESTIES to present ad dresses of congratulation. During the procession of the Fete Dieu at Barcelona, their MAJESTIES, who had been visiting some of the churches, met the pro cession in the street. They immediately alighted from their carriage, and prostrated themselves before the Host in the midst of a large crowd, who were much moved by this display of religious zeal. The Three per Cents. were done at -27 i for cash, and 271 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents, at 19-1,- for cash. The Freneh Chamber of Deputies, after tedious discussions, continued for eight days, passed the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway Bill, on Tuesday, by a majority of 218 to 56. This Bill authorises the Government to construct the line only when it shall be let by public auction to a company, who are to lay down the rails, build the carriages, &c., according to certain conditions. The lease is to continue for 45 years, and the party contracting are to give security for the due performance of the work, to the amount of 2,000,000 f. (80,0001.) 'Cowards the conclusion of the debate M. CREMEUX, a lawyer, moved the follow ing singular resolution, "that no Member of either Chamber can be an administrator or contractor on any line fur which a concession is granted.' The resolution, strange to say, met with little oppo-' sition. Two of the Government papers, the Journal des Debats and the Globe, are decidedly opposed to the resolution, awl little doubt, therefore, remains that an attempt will be made to rescind the vote. The former journal thus' points out its absurdity :—" If the members of both Chambers are not to have the right of taking part in the administration of a rail road, what are the employments or occupations with which Deputies or Peers may be invested ? Why is this work to be prohibited more than any other ? What is there particularly suspicious in the carrying on of one of those undertakings, which everybody allows are most highly important for the prosperity and strength of the country ? And if incompatibi lity results from their personal participation, why should it not be also applicable to that of a bro- tiler or friend ? In a word, to be a legislator, according to this amendment, the first condition shall he to possess neither moveable property, nor landed property, nor manufactory, nor any business whatever. Nor will this be enough— a member must also be without family and without friends. Such is the upshot of this system—it leads direct to absurdity. The Opposition had, it must be allowed, without disclosing their design, cleverly prepzred men's minds in favour of this vote, by a proceeding of which several of the majority, not perceiving the snare, had become the accomplices and supporters. A paper had been hawked about, 'in which the signers declared themselves to have nothing to do with any railroad undertaking, and several Conservatives thought it right to sign. They must now comprehend what was the object of the paper thus presented • to them. They have had placed be fore them to-day the measure of that independence and patriotism which seize on all pretexts, and avail themselves of all kinds of passions, to bring about the failure of those enterprises from which the country expected the happiest effects for the advancement of its welfare and of the national power." The dispute between the judges of the Cour Royale and the 'French bar still remains unsettled. On Tuesday the Court opened at the usual hour. No advocate was within the bar but several were stand ing in plain clothes at the bottom of the hall. Several cases in consequence were postponed for a week. The President at the same time announcing that if no agreement was come to within that period the Court would hear the simple statement of the soli.; citors and give judgment without the assistance of barristers. The following are additional extracts from the papers :--- " The health of the Minister of Finances imperatively re quires his departure to take the waters very shortly. The Minister of the Interior will take the direction of his depart ment during his absence. Should the benefit he expects to derive from the waters not be sufficiently decisive to enable M. Lacave Laplagne to resume his portfolio on his return, there must be a change in the Cabinet ; but nothing will be done before the close of the session. The seat of M.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. Consols left off very firmly at 988 to -a, supporting the fall and advance of the morning. The Reduced Three and-a-Half per Cents. were at 102 k ; and the Three per Cente. touched 99i ; Exchequer bills were scarcely so well supported. There was an advance in Spanish Three per Cents. to 35 ;in Mexican to 34i ;in Colombian to 13k ; and in Portuguese Converted to 471 ; the market fur most Foreign Stocks closing wel. The additional t ransact i ons i n R a i lway shares have been these :—Birmingham and Derby, Thirds, were 313- discount ; Easteiii Counties, New, 5i ; Great North of England, 1 ; South-Western, 441 ; Newcastle and Dar lington, 19 ; and Yarmouth and Norwich, 4i toi, pre mium. Cobre Copper Mine were at 16 ; National Bank of Ireland were 15, or 2k discount. The foreign exchanges were scarcely so high on the principal Continental cities, if we except Antwerp. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very steady. Sales 6,000 bales, viz.-200 I'ernams, at 50. to 6/d. ; 250 Egyptian, at 64d. to 80. ,• 100 Maranham, at sd. to 5/d. ; 600 Surat, at 3d. to 3,1 d. ; and the rest American, at 34d. to 6d. Speculators took 500 bales.—Shares were rather better for South Eastern, but not quite so good for Bir mingham and Grand Junction.

The East India Company have announced that their rate of exchange on Bengal and Madras is fixed for the present at Is. 100., and upon Bombay at. Is. 101 d. per Company's rupee. The effect of the prohibition by the Prussian Govern ment . of all ti me b arga i ns i n ra il wa y s h ares h as been very injurious, it is stated, to the value of those invest ments in the German exchanges. Large orders had been received at Vienna from Berlin for the sale of shares, and this leading to a sudden and considerable decline had caused many of the speculators to become de faulters. I The new Bel g i an l oan i s ou t . F or every 10 4 f. i n old 2i per cents., 4i per cent. bonds will be given,:the interest com mencing from May, so that there will be a bonus to the an nuitant. Bankers and brokers will have per cent. com mission allowed them. The Belgian Legislature has recently had rather an im portant subject under consideration, viz., the policy of allowing about 7,000,000 kilogrammes of Dutch colo nial coffee to come in annually at reduced terms. The objectors to the proposition contend that the English merchant will benefit, to the detriment of the Bel gian, as we shall extend our commerce with Java, taking coffee for our fabrics, and sending the pro duce to Rotterdam . for sale. This will diminish the outlet for the cotton fabrics of Ghent, in Dutch East India, and the reduction intended here on free grown foreign coffee, will, it is urged, favour the Competi tion, as the chief difficulty with our merchants is to obtain profitable returns from Java. The public Securities have to-day been buoyant, and• we quote a further slight improvement in the rates, Consols being 98# to #. There have been some fair purchases, and the heavy investments also feel the influence of the rally, being better than they were yesterday afternoon. The Reduced Three-and-a- Half per,Cents. have realised 1011 to 102 k, and the New for Special Transfer 104 The Three per Cents. are 99 to *. Bank Stock is quiet at 1971.

THE WELLINGTON AND NELSON TESTIMONIALS. The following are the letters which accompanied the Em peror of Russia's recent munificent contributions to the funds for erecting the Wellington and Nelson Testimonials. Both communications were written in the French laaguage by Count Orloff, and respectively addressed to the Duke of Wel lington and the Duke of Rutland (TRANSLATION. " London, June 7, 1844. "My Lord Duke,—His 31ajesty, desiring to contribute to the . erection of a monument which the national gratitude is now raising to the glory of Admiral Nelson, has charged me to= request your obliging intervention to add in bis name to the subscription already open the sum of 500/. " The Emperor has judged that to accomplish his pur pose he cannot do better than address himself to one whose name is inseparable from the most glorious recollections of England. "Have the goodness to accept, my Lord Duke, the reite rated assurance of my highest consideration. (Signed) " Count ORLOFF. " To his Grace Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, &c." Upon receipt of the above the Duke of Wellington imme diately acknowledged the same in a closely-written auto graph letter, occupying three sides of a sheet of Nyriting paper. "London, June 7, 1844. My Lord Duke,—The Emperor having learned that the subscription opened for the erection of a monument to the illustrious Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington is not yet closed, hastens to charge me to announce to you that he is desirous to associate himself with a work which is not only a national honour rendered by England, but a debt of grati tude which ought to belong to the whole of Europe. " Accordingly he has ordered me, my Lord Duke, zo trans mit to you the enclosed sum of 5001. 1 acquit myself of this duty with the most lively satisfaction, and pray you to ac cept the assurance of my high consideration. • (Signed) " Count ORLOFF.

" Who runs may read." ron3Exam. The Queen, as well as the King of the French, on Tuesday accompanied Madame Adelaide as far as Fontainebleau. Their Majesties were expected to return to Neuilly the same evening. The Duke de Montpensier accompanies Madame Adelaide to Randan, where her Royal Highness will remain a fortnight. Low masses were performed on Tuesday in all the churches of Paris for the reuse of the soul of the Duke d'Angouleme. A letter from Goritz, June 10, says—" The autopsy and embahnent of the Duke d'Angouleme's body were proceeded to in the evening of the 4th. It appears that the cause of his suffering was a cancer in the pylorus. On the morning of the Bth the Archbishop p r e se nt e d himself, with all his clergy, to take away the body. At eight o'clock the funeral procession advanced to the Cathedral, and, after a mass celebrated with pomp, proceeded to the chapel of the Franciscan Convent, situated on a height at the west of the town. The Duke de Bordeaux followed the car on foot, in a mourning cloak. All the shops were closed, and some of the houses, amongst the rest the club-house, were hung with black. The body was placed in the vault where the mortal remains of Charles X. rest." M. Odilon Barrot has been appointed President of the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies on the Secondary Instruction Bill. M. Saint-Marc Girardin is appointed Secretary. The accounts from the French provinces generally re specting the crops are much more satisfactory than could have been expected, considering the long prevalence) drought and a north-east wind. The hay crop, although no a heavy one, exceeds what was anticipated, and the hay is in fine condition. The corn crops look healthy, and the vines, except in a few districts, promise to yield an average crop. Potatoes, now a very essential article of food in France, have been so much revived by the recent occasional rains, that an average crop is expected. A letter from Geneva informs us that a great portion of the town of Cluses, on the road between Geneva and Cha mouni, has been destroyed by fire. It was reported that 60 houses were entirely consumed. The Court-martial of the division of Oran (Algeria) was occupied on the 24th ult. with the trial of Jean Pierre Chautemps, a gunner in the 3d regiment of artillery, for the murder of Capt. Mortier. The circumstances were fully proved. He had given an insolent answer to a lieutenant, who reported him to the deceased, and Chautemps was in consequence sentenced to march all day with his jacket turned, and his complete kit on his back. Hearing this, be went up to Capt. Mortier, and asking him if he persisted in his determination to award him this punishment, he scarcely gave him time to say " yes" when he shot him through the head. The Court unanimously sentenced him to death. LAW AND POLICM. The case of the Baron de Bode came on in the Court of Queen's Bench, on a petition of right. The arguments in support of the petition had not concluded at the rising of the Court. Mr. Howett, one of the parishioners of St. Stephen, Wal brook, waited upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of requesting his Lordship's interference with the authorities of that church, to cause the removal of some boarding which had been put up after the late accident to the belfry, and from which he apprehended great danger as he sat in his office. Already a serious risk had been encoun tered by the fall of the wood-work, a few days ago. His Lord ship immediately dispatched a message to Mr. Alderman Gibbs. J. Mitchell, charged some days since at the Mansion- house with haviog, eleven years ago, deserted from the 61st Regi ment, has been released by the Horse Guards, with a pro tecting certificate. Johu Le Grand, carrying on the business of a French perfinner, at No. 10, Clipstone-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged at the Guildhall with receiving from an evil-disposed person unknown a quantity of lace goods, the property of Mr. Banks, a laceman, in Lawrence-lane, knowing them to have been stolen. The property was valued at 601. or 70'. Prisoner was remanded for a week. John Stewart, and Sarah his wife, were committed from Clerkenwell to the House of Correction for three months, with hard labour, as vagrants. They are well known as begging letter imposters. Henry Allen, only eight years of age, was charged at Queen square with having broken into the house of Anthony Corry,.No. 25, Queen- street, Chelsea, and stealing therefrom a loaf; a quantity of brass knobs which had been taken off some of the doors, and other small articles. The Magistrate seemed almost at a loss what to do with so juvenile a delin quent, but at length committed him to the House of Correc tion for fourteen days. Mr. James Gray, of Mornington Cottage, Old Brompton, was charged, at Marlborough-street, with having driven furiously through Regent-street, while in a state of intoxica tion, and with having caused damage to a cabriolet driven by Thomas Dell. Mr. Maltby fined the defendant 40s. for furious driving, ss. for being drunk, and told the complain ant he had his remedy for the damage to his vehicle by taking the case to Union-hall. A middle-aged man, named Richard Smith, a maltster, residing. in Westmoreland-place, Walworth.-common, was charged at Worship-street, with cutting and wounding Thomas Giles Smith, who was so ill from the injuries he had received as to be unable to attend and give evidence. The prisoner was remanded. John Sharratt, a delivery foreman in the employ of the East and West India Dock Company, was charged at Thames street, with stealing a large quantity of cotton wool, the property of his employers. He was committed for trial. COIIIIIT—ritssioNABLE. Letters have been received at Clarence House, St. James's, dated from Nuremberg, the 12th instant, by which we learn that the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by Prince Leiningen, and attended by Sir George Cowper and Lady Anna Maria Dawson, were to leave that city, where the Royal party at rived the previous afternoon, -that morning, direct to Gotha, to visit their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess Ernest of Saxe Coburg Gotha. The Royal Duchess was en joying the beat health. The Countess of Haddington held an assembly on Thurs day, at the Noble Earl's official residence at the Admiralty, when the spacious saloons overlooking St. James's Park, were thrown open for the reception of a select circle. The party met at eleven and broke up at one. Lady Emily Hardinge and Misses Hardinge are to leave this country early in September for India, to join his Excel lency the Governor-General. Colonel Thomas Wood, M.P., we understand, will accompany her Ladyship and family, the Hon. and Gallant Colonel intending to return to this country by the next session of Parliament. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford had a juvenile party on Thursday afternoon, at their residence, in Belgrave-square. The American Dwarf, "General Tom Thumb," had the ho nour of attending. The Marquis of Salisbury returned to town on Thursday, from Hatfield House, Herts. The Earl and Countess of Jersey gave a large dinner, last evening, at their mansion in Berkeley-square. TXBCELLANEOUH. The following is her Majesty's answer to the address -pre sented on Wednesday by the Dublin deputation :—" I thank you for your renewed assurances of loyalty to my person and crown. I have announced to you my fixed determi nation to uphold the law, and to respect the decisions of my Courts, to which the administration of justice is confided. If errors have occurred in the proceedings of the Courts, they are open to review, and will be rectified by th e su p reme .tribunal of appeal. The faithful execution of the law is re garded by me as the surest safeguard of the rights and liberties of my people." A special meeting of the magistrates of the county of Mid dlesex took place on Thursday, at the Sessions-house, Clerken well-green, to receive the report of the Committee appointed to consider the correspondence laid before the Court by the chairman, on the 30th day of May, 1844, and the report and plans accompanying the same. There was an unusually large attendance of magistrates. The Bill to prohibit the nuisance of smoke from furnaces and manufactories, which has been amended by Commit tee, was on Thursday printed. Its object is to prevent "great loss of fuel which arises from the mismanagement of furnaces and manufactories," and, as is further alleged in the pre amble, is productive "of much injury to the health and comfort of the people," which could be remedied by proper care and attention. It is proposed to appoint in 'sessions an " inspector of smoke nuisances," which office may devolve on a police-officer, without an additional salary; that after March next no opaque smoke is to come from the chimney of "any furnace," between six o'clock a.m., and seven o'clock r.sr., longer than twelve minutes in any three consecutive hours for one furnace, and so on in proportion. Collieries, mines, and are works are . to be exempted. hlendelssohn's " St. Paul" is to be performed at Exeter hall on Fridavnext, the 28th inst., under the direction of the composer. This work, it will be remembered, was produced in London by the Sacred Harmonic Society in 1837, but has never before been conducted by Mendelssohn in the me tropolis. The dinner of the members of the Christchurch Club took place on Tuesday evening at the Clarendon Hotel, Bond -street. Among those present were his Grace the Duke of Cleveland, the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl cf Ilchester, Lord Wen lock, the Hon. E. Agar, Sir G. Warrender, &c. The EMperor of Russia, before his departure, subscribed 500/. to the funds for erecting a monument to the Duke of Wellington, and the same stem to the Nelson monument. The intelligence received at Lloyd's by the late arrival of the Britannia steam-ship details the particulars of the loss of the English ship Saladin, near Halifax, under very- painful circumstances, it being feared that the captain, Mr, APKenzie, his wife and family an 1 several of his officers, have been murdered by the dew in order to enable them to plunder the vessel. PORTSMOUTH, .JUNE 20.—Her Majesty's brig Wan derer, Capt. Seymour, anchored at Spithead yesterday morn ing, having en board invalids, and a large freight of treasure in Sycee silver from China. This treasure, equal to about a million and half of dollars, is a further proportion of the amount to be paid to this country for the ransom of Canton. On the arrival of the ship being known, Mr. J. W. Cooper, of the. Treasury, proceeded by direction of her Majesty's Go vernment to Portsmouth, for the purpose of receiving this public treasure. On Mr. Cooper's arrival at Portsmouth, or ders were given to the ship to deliver her powder and shells to the Ordnance lighter, sent out to take the same from on board ; and for the ship being brought into the harbour for the purpose of landing the Sycee silver, the weather being too boisterous to effect this at her anchorage at Spithead.- Her Majesty's ship Childers may be daily expected from China, having on board a similar amount of Sycee silver also on account of the Canton ransom. The Sycee silver will be delivered over by Mr. Cooper to the Master of her Majesty's Mint, to be assayed and melted, used cold, as was done with the Sycee silver received the beginning of last year as the first instalment of the Canton ransom. •It is expected to ar rive at the Mint either to -morrow or Monday.

POLISH FRONTIERS, JUNE 9.—We learn from Warsaw that the return of Prince Paskewitsch, which took place only a week ago, has been so long delayed by the military arrange ments which are rendered necessary by the state of the fron tier provinces of Turkey. How long will the mouldering ruin be prevented from falling by props and buttresses front without ? We have letters from the Lower Danube, just a week old, lying before us, which give detailed accounts of the dissolution of all social ties. The Porte is wholly incapable of stopping by a decisive blow the frightful excesses of the Al banians, and the whole country, from Uscup to the Servian frontiers, is said to be a scene of the most dreadful devastation. The accounts from Warsaw say that several emigrants have been pardoned by the Emperor through the mediation of Prince Paskewitsch. In consequence of the promising appearance of the crops the prices of all kinds of corn have fallen considerably, ex cept that of wheat, for which there is a pretty brisk demand. The Jews, who always find ways and means to attain their ends, have succeeded in obtaining for another year, the right of selling brandy, which had been taken from them. A Greek church is now building in Warsaw.—Allgemeine Zeitung, June 16. Le fee-farm rents, dispersed throughout eighteen counties, of the late Viscount Fitzwilliam, are announced in our columns, by Mr. George Robins, for absolute sale next month. It will be a capital opportunity for the possessors of the fee-simple estat's to have the means of purchasing, and thus relieving their property from a perpetual rent chare,e—a never-en-ling ann o y ance; an d, with a view to a good income, it offers a tempting oppor tunity to solicitors, who by this means are entitled to a fee for each separate rent. If left in arrear a single week, a remainder puts a fee into the solicitor's pocket, and will amount, in the aggregate, to a round sum. They are situate in the following counties:— Bedford Rutland Essex Shropshire Hants Stafford Hereford Suffolk Hertford Surrey Leicester Sussex Middlesex Warwick Northampton Wilts, and Norfolk Yorkshire. The advertisement gives additional particulars to illu mine the profession. NEW LINE OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND MANCHESTER.—Yesterday , a meeting of gentlemen interested in the promotion of a direct line of railway communication between Manchester and the metropolis, was held at the Bull and Mouth Hotel, St. Martin's-le- Grand, Mr. Livius, of Bedford, in the chair. Mr. Thomas Mulcock, of Southampton-row, Russell- square, addressed the meeting at considerable length in expla nation of the project which he contended was designed to elevate Manchester to a position worthy of its core merciall importance with respect to railway communica tion, and to free it from what he calls the grasping monopoly of the London and Birmingham Company, and in some respect also of the Grand Junction. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and a series of resolutions expressing cordial approbation of the project were unanimously carried. Sir John Ren niet and Mr. Remington were appoined engineers con currently, and a committee consiting of Messrs. Muloch, Sherman, Hayman, and l!hreteyard, with, power to add to the number, was nominated to carry out the necessary arrangements. DEATHS OF INFANTS IN ENGLAND AND WALES. —There have just been laid before the House of Lords, pursuant to order, some very remarkable returns, show ing the number of inquests that have been held for the last ten years, in England and Wales, upon the bodies of infants of one year old and under, distinguishing those cases in which verdicts of " murder," or " found dead" have been given by the juries at such inquests. The mere enumeration of the cases, with a few remarks subjoined to each, occupies a folio volume of more than 150 pages, which fact will afford some idea of the extent of mor tality among very young infants, from the various " ills that flesh is heir to," or is most unnaturally exposed to, during that tender age. Some of the verdicts returned sound rather curiou-ly; such as the following, being very common among the li s t, an d b e i ng selecte at random from the immense numbers enumerated in the volume in question:—" Casually overlaid in bed by his mother;" "Found dead in his bed with his mother;" "Died sud denly by the visitation of God, of convulsions;" " Died by the visitation of God, to wit, stoppages," or " to wit, in a fit ;" " Casually poisoned by an overdose of lauda num ;" " Casually poisoned by laudanum administered by mistake;" and the like. The number of verdicts of wilful murder against the mother, or " against some person or persons unknown," is still more terrible, proving that the attention of the Legislature should be directed to the subject, in order to see whether the ex isting poor-law does not tend to cause such a fearful sys tem; and, it so, whether a statute that could even he suspected as tending to such results ought not to be suc ceeded by wiser and more liberal enactments. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The follow ing report has been presented by the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the progress of the building of the Houses of Parliament: " That the Committee have met, and considered the subject matter to them referred, and have examined witnesses, and have come to the fol lowing resolution, viz.: —That, considering the great in convenience of the present House of Lords, and that such inconvenience will be greatly aggravated by the progress of the new buildings before the commencement of the session of 1844, no delay should take place in the build ing and preparing the new House of Lords beyond what is absolutely required for the safety of the work ; that the architect be directed so to corduct his operations as to secure the occupation of the new House of Lords, with temporary fittings, at the commencement of the session of 1814 ; that in case the architect, in the pro gress of the work of the new House of Lords, shall find that more time will be required in consequence of any apprehension of injurious consequences to the building, he shall report the same to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, in order that such report may be communicated to this House in due time - that it does not appear to th e Committee th a t i t is advisable that .any alteration in the ventilation of the present House of Lords, which would lead to additional expense, should be adopted ; and the Committee have directed the minutes of evidence taken before them to be laid be fore your Lordships." DREADFUL GIG ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last, as an officer in the army was driving his wife and child in a gig along the Barnet-road, near Whetstone, the horse took fright, and galloped off at a furious rate past the Torrington Arms and Swan with Two Necks. The officer, in his endeavour to check the speed of the animal, was thrown out of the gig with great force, and, in con sequence of the fall, had both of his legs broken. The horse continued to gallop along, until arriving at the Whetstone turnpike, the gate of which was closed. The lady and the child escaped unhurt, but the gentleman (whose name our informant has not ascertained) now lies in a dangerous state at the Swan Inn. GIGANTIC NUTCRACKERS. --The other day, we inserted a paragrab, showing how the Bristol boys, in the "good old times," were in the habit of cracking their nuts. Our story was—that a ricketty old church, with a huge tower, was accustomed to rock to and fro, and that the lads, watching their opportunity, popped their nuts into the opening fissures of the wall, and snatched them out again when they were cracked ! The truth of our statement was doubted—(for what is there that some people will not doubt ?)—and as we had the fact only on hearsay, we were obliged t o rema i n s i lent under the suspicions of the sceptical. But we have now to state, on our own know ledge, that even the old church has been outdone— a pair of nutcrackers having been introduced into 671,tes head, weighing not less than twenty tons, and worked by a steam-engine of fifty-horse power ! ! These nut crackers we saw atwork this week, at Messrs. Hawks and Crawshay's iron-works ; for when Mr. Nasmith was ex hibiting the powers of his " direct-action hammer," he concluded its performances with cracking nuts ! Placing a nut on the anvil, he dropped the huge hammer, weigh ing three tons and a half, so gently down, that it just cracked the shell—and then, under the potent sway of steam, rose to its previous position ! A nicer illustra tion of its obedience to the hand of the workman mild not hap) been, afforded.—Gateshead Observer. LITERAT EIRE. R IL HORACE WALPOLE'S LETTERS TO 51 ,. 1844 ,10 MANN. Vols. 36- 4. Bentley, London, The most characteristic feature in these l u s Tiortc l —in which Walpole's correspondence with Sir q e d Mann is brought to a close—is the memoir olio ‘; short Notes of my Life," which profesei t o ..de brief summary of the principal events in the ant° s t life from the year 1724 down to the year 17 . ° _,.4.' termi ng which period the manuscript abruptly coost Horace Walpole it may be remembered, declaiming in his letters against the self-conceit 11,4 with . t!_'i o pedantry of literary men; their society, exceptions, he describes as being irksome ttlatet the extreme ; and nothing seems to give hint' g:. annoyance than the supposition that any of bistro, or correspondents should mistake him for one o tre i fraternity. Like Congreve, hen Voltaire hon n , him with a visit, in token of his admiration o'er abilities as a dramatist, Walpole professes to be go. tleman and not an auth or , j us t as though it werebined possible that the two c h arac t er s could be COn i in the same individual. When resident in LI he represents himself as sedulously a reiclinb eleti literary coteries, and when in Paris esch ews tern with equal pertinacity, obser v ing in one of his let l e ft to that overrated. wit, George Selwyn, "f l ,2 av t bete off going to the Bar on D'Olb uc h' s dinners, l i o r , o ni, was no bearing the auth ors , phil os ophers, a i i; u l w sji of which he has a pigeon-house full." "is thought that there was a g ood deal of affe ctatio n this disclaimer of authorship, and dislike to the i T es panionship of literary men, and Horace W i . i r t , tje " Short Notes" of his life have confirmed pus hiich justice of our hypothesis. In these he insisted on his executors not allowing to be l e tb, lished until a certain number of yearS after his to t he and which are now fur the first time give n , tip world—he catalogues, with all the circumo,oB minuteness of an auctioneer, not only every v n . : c lif which he produced, and the exact year and ev eu e 4 "Notes " --4 o b. of the month on which he produced it, bu t or scrap of prose and poetry which he mencing with a boyish copy of Latin verses,!`ce o f he composed on the marriage of Frederick, Ir a te Wales, and which he takes special care to ada . „4o thought worthy of being published in a Cally bo periodical of that period. And yet the Man /4 „itel thus nervously solicitous to make posterity acq tl l with everything he wrote, no matter how trivlsi wrote, ilich who regards his literary compositions as the n 3°5 , 5 0 portant events of his life, is the same who prede ss i. ,j o it utter indifference to literary reputation, and tu' il vi th beneath his dignity to associate on equal terms 0 ,0 authors! The truth is, Horace Walpole was !i s 10 eaten up with vanity; the ruli ng p ass ion of 1 ' ,be was a thirst fur distinction in th e wor ld of lette rs; ad d could not obtain this to the extent he desiredi took refuge therefore, from disappointment, TO ill-concealed ' , supercilious indifference. iv e. were sour, but they were only sour when •"7, ; ffueta they were above hi s reac h. • B u t th e w idely ua ar ielf fame which he so much coveted, but inis s e d ' bbe his life, has been am pl y awar d e d hi m by t h e floe voice since his de.i.th.
