The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, tt,e amateur, the casual observer areal! struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex. bib tion ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the qu et Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be filly appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doingju•tice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. is fearful chsractcristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotecht ist, It's achieved a matchless less triumph.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that it be recom mitted. A division took place, when there were fur the third reading, 4; and against it, 28. The Bill was then referred to a Select Committee, in com pany with Lord BROUGHAM'S, and the House Ad journed at Half-past Nine. After the presentation of petitions and some other business of little importance in the Commons, i'dr. CHRISTIE asked the SOLICITOR-GENERAL whether the current report WES true, that, at the election for Abingdon, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had distributed 50/. among the crowd from a bag of money in his lap. The speech of the Hon. Member on this subject is very amusing and instructive. The SOLI CITOR-GENERAL did not deny the charge, hut he found fault with tha mode of putting questions to Members. He could not deny, however, that he had received due notice ; for he candidly ad mitted that Mr. CHRISTIE had informed — him a week ago that he would put the question, but at the same time he must state that he could not give his sanction to such a practice, and that he must decline answering the question. Is everything going to wreck in this Conservative Government ? The second law-officer of the Crown is charged with a heinous offence, and he tosses up his head and says, " I will not plead." We hope Mr. CHRISTIE will not lose sight of the question. Of what use is it for the Commons to order the law-officers of the Crown to indict Sudbury for bribery and corruption, if the SOLICITOR-GENERAL is charged with the same offence, and cannot deny the charge ? Sir FREDERICK THE3IGER is much mistaken if he thinks that any class of the community will suffer such insolence. In answer to a question from Mr. SHELL 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 report., 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 admi:ted on the payment of equal duties. A division took place, when there were fur 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, propoFed by Mr. FlumE, 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. A Conservative dinner took place on Tuesday last at Middleton, at which, among other topics of con gratulation, one of the speakers—a parson, answering to the nameof WlLKlNSON—felicitated his audienceon the fact that though " this was the third week of O'CoNNELL's captivity, he had not hanged himself; and the Irish Channel was not yet on fire, Ireland was not yet in rebellion, the DUKE was not beheaded, nor PEEL in the Tower." Truly these are excellent themes for Conservative congratulation ! The party anticipated, no doubt—and most reasonably so—that the consequences of their Irish policy would have been a general convulsion throughout the length and breadth of the sister-country ; and because this has not taken place to the extent they apprehended— because, instead of being in open, desperate rebellion, Ireland is only in a state of ferment and discontent, and becoming more and more the weakness rather than the strength of England, therefore the Con servatives—who, to do them justice, are singularly moderate in their expectations—conceive that their policy has been most successful, and that the late trial and imprisonment of O'CONNELL has been a master stroke of generalship ! Not to have precipitated Ire land into rebellion, this purblind party imagine to have been the most convincing proof possible of their dexterity and wisdom as statesmen, which shows, notwithstanding their boasting, that at heart they entertained sore misgivings re specting the probable issue of their Irish policy. The Chairman of the Middleton dinner, fired with the glorious ambition of equalling, if not of surpassing, the Rev. Mr. WILKINSON in the faculty of talking nonsense, expressed his conscientious belief that "in this cause of Conservatism, as well as every other in which they were engaged, Providence guided them." Here, then, we have at length a clue to the twistings, and wrigglings, and tergiversations, of the Conserva tive party ! We were long at a loss to account for the unhesitating, bare-faced inconsistency of this eccentric party ; but the Middleton Chairman has now kindly come forward and explained the reasons of their conduct. Their late decisions in the House of Commons were, it seems, given, not at the instigation of Sir ROBERT PEE] but under the direct " guidance of Providence." It was " Providence" who prompted them to abandon the sacred claims of humanity, and fling the unpro tected factory women and children overboard ; and it was the same " Providence" who suggested the expe diency of their stultifying themselves on the question of the sugar duties ! " Providence"—to parody the language of the Times on a certain memorable occa sion—" Providence did it Call !" He was the arch-tempter! But for his direct suggestions the Conservatives would never have dreamed of vio lating principle, and disgracing themselves in the eyes of every thinking and. upright man in the community; but would have maintained at all hazards an inflexible, high-minded consistency. In the good o!d days of Toryism, it was the Devil who used to have the credit—or rather discredit—of tieing the great tempter; but the Conservatives, among other bright discoveries, have now found out that it is " Providence" whe is entitled to this equivocld distinction ; and to his express interference the qUick witted MinDLEToN Chairman attributes the tergi versations of des party. Surely there is gross blas phemy as well as egregious nonsense here, and the Society for the Suppression of Irreligion will do well to take this gentleman's irreverent cant about " Providence" into their attentive consideration ! At the same dinner, Mr. SOWLER, a barrister of Man chester, thus gave vent to the party enthusiasm which overpowered his delicate sensibiiities It is a proud satisfaction to me to find so many honest and respect able men as I now see before me, united in carrying out the greatest cause on which English glory ever dawned—the cause which has made England what it is—the cause which has made you and me at this moment free to express our sentiments without fear, and to do that which our hearts dictate, to plead for the common freedom of our common country." Mercy on us, what a farrago of words is he: ments on fiscal regulations which those Ministers, " an English Statesman, we remember to have read o spoiled with the success of his dictation in some recen supporters within its walls, but which Mr. D'ISRAELI with equal spirit and emphasis, indignantly repudiated for himself and the friends who usually vote with him. The last and most commonplace artifice to which he Premier resorted, whilst still under the influent( 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 proposed by Mr. MILES. We will not weaken the effect of the manly and indignant castigation which this threa. received from Lord JOIN 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 position of a Minister of the Crown—its obvious design being to deter Members from the free and frank expression of their opinions, by considerations extraneous to the merits of the question really before them. But we would remind Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, that he adopts the surest means of losing his personal influence with 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. The Madrid journals of the 14th inst. contain no fresh intelligence. According to letters from Bar celona negotiations for modifying the tariff were still going on with every probability of success; and it was generally believed that foreign cotton goods would be admitted on payment of a duty of 30 per cent. The Three per Cents. were done at 27k fur cash the Five per Cents. at 20k at 60 days, and the Float ng Debt at 50. Most of the Paris journals contain articles on the quarrel between France and Morocco, but with the exception of a few remarks in the Conqitutionnel, they possess little interest. That journal infers that the affair cannot be filially settled without a contest, and at the same time states that a much larger force is to be sent under the command of the Prince DE JOINVILLE than was originally intended. As it speaks the sentiments of M. TniEus, and also those of the Prince, the amount of satist'action to be demanded on the part of France and the scheme proposed by the young Admiral, are entitled to some credit. "We are assured," says that journal, " that the satisfac tion consists of these three points—the repulsion of AI;D-EL•KADER from the territory of Morocco, the dismissal of the chiefs who commanded the Moorish army in the engagement with our troops, and the retreat of that army into the interior to a distance of several leagues from our frontier. Now, the EMPEROR has not, perhaps, even power enough to execute those conditions. England has offered her mediation ; but has she herself the means of rendering it efficient ? It is not enough to persuade ABDERRAIIMAN, but we must get the better of ABD.EL•KADER ; for oar serious object is not the humiliation of the EMPEROR, but the expulsion of the warlike Marabout. Despite, therefore, of all the conferences between Lord COWLEY and M. GUIZOT, and of the entente cordiale, war will, perhaps be in evitable. The Prince DE JOINVILLE has proposed a plan of campaign, the result of which would have been the bombardment or temporary occupation of the ports of Tetuan, Tangiers, and Mogador. This vigorous plan, as is affirmed, has not been accepted, and vague and less energetic instructions will be given to the young Admiral. Nevertheless, an in crease of force has been conceded to him. The squa dron will consist of three line-of-battle ships, six steamers, and some for landing troops. .We know not how far the force of circumstances will lead the French Government. It is, however, probable enough that, in presence of these threatening preparatisns, and under the influence of Great Britain, the EM PEROR will promise France every satisfaction, and do his best to expel ARD-EL-KADER. But it is rather re ! Is it Conservatism that the speaker is talking about, when he alludes to " the greatest cause on which English glory ever dawned ?" Surely not, for no cause can be great that is not based on principle, and not even the most bigoted of the squad will have the intrepid effrontery to assert that the Conserva tives have a single shred of principle adhering to them. Principle, in fact, is the very thing in which they are mostg laringly deficient—the qualifica tion which of all others they most strenuously repudiate, and which they treat with the most contumelious indifference. Talk to a Conservative about principle, and if he be a frank, sincere man, who really speaks as he thinks, he will laugh outright in your face, and ask you in what benighted quar ter of Christendom you have received your political education. Principle and Conservatism ! Was there ever a gi eater contrast than is represented by these tvvo terns? Oil and vinegar have not a more marked antipathy to each other. sight and day are not more distinct from each other. Conservatism, let its advocates say what they will, is neither more nor less than a downright negation of all principl e , an d i s fitliest defined by that jesuitical p h rase—Expediency.

In the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, the line of railway from Paris to Lyons gave rase to an animated debate, one party contending that it should run through the valley of the Seine, and the other through that of the Yonne. The question, however, was left open for discut•sion, and a vote was taken for a grant of 71,000,000 f. to form the line. On Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, a general acsembly of the Cour Royale took place, to deliberate on the rupture between the First Presi dent, Baron SEGUIER, and the members of the bar. After a discussion, which lasted six hours, it was de cided that the twenty-one members of the Council of Discipline, who all signed the letter addressed to M SEGUIItR, shall be cited before the Court on the Ist of July, to explain their conduct. According to the National the Government are re solved to cancel the resolution of M. CREMIEUX, by which Members of the Chambers are excluded from all participation in the management of railroads, and have for that purpose summoned all the absent Mem bers to Paris.

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 even to this, the whole speech and deportment of the Right Hon. Baronet, 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 and unwise in denouncing the attempt which had been 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 Premier of accurately copying his own tactics ! By what 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 unconstitutional In come and Property-tax in 1842, or his Bank Charter Renewal Bill of the present session—but by enlisting the apprehensions of one class in aid of the desires of another; or by operating on the alarms of separate sections of' political opponents, through the argument 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 submitted by him for their adoption ? In these puerile re proaches Sir ROBERT did injustice to himself, as the Great Original Artificer of these successful amalga mations of heterogeneous materials of hostile action into one mass of flexible supporters. He had already worked Protestants and Dissenters, Calvinists and Roman Catholics, manufacturers and farmers, opera tive labourers, and master millowners, Radicals and Tories, bankers and bullionists, debtors and creditors, mortgagees and mortgagors, into a concordia discors on the above-named occasions, and as often on 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 corn pro duced here by Briti s h growers ? Sir ROBERT PEEL, moreover, talked on Monday night as if it were in the nature of mere factious ob struction to Ministers of the Crown, to propose amend THIS DAY'S NEWS. We understand that Mr. Thomas Duneombe pre sented, this morning, to the High Bailiff of West minster a requisition, signed by several hundred in habitant householders and electors of that city, in cluding twenty Members of Parliament, requesting him to convene a public meeting of the inhabitants, for the purpose of taking the present state of Ireland into consideration, and of petitioning Parliament for the immediate release of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., and the other State prisoners. The High Bailiff acceded to the requisition, and appointed Monday, July 1, for the meeting, which will be held in Covent-garden, at one o'clock. the exercise of their highest duty," and with the ad vantage of all the official information in existence on the subject before them—had, after mature and an xious deliberation, recommended to Parliament for adoption. But this notion is grounded on a mere childish absurdity of assumption ; namely, that the Ministers of the Crown must necessarily have mas tered the whole bearings of such official information ; and, by a species of patent infallibility, have arrived at the soundest possible conclusions upon it. But this impatience on the part of the Premier of the exercise, on the part of representatives of the' people of that which is —constitutionally -and positively, not - Con ventionally, only—their first duty to their con stituents —is the most unreasonable, the most unlike QUEEN'S BENCH..-(THIS DAY.) THE BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN ON A PETITION OF The fact seems to be that Sir ROBERT PEEL is so RIGHT. The examination of witnesses in support of the Baron de Bode's claim was resumed this morning. The case of the claimant was not concluded when we went to press. and memorable cases, that he anticipates, from the House of Commons at large, the same blind, unrea soning deference which he habitually extracts from his COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY FORTII V. LAWSON. In this case, which is an action against " The Times" for libel, and a full report of which appeared in our early edition of the last night, the jury were locked up all night, not having agreed upon a verdict. At the sitting of the Court this morning, the jury came into Court, and the foreman addressing the Chief Justice stated there was no probabilily of their agreeing to a verdict. The CIIIEF JUSTICE said, in that case he should discharga them, having done all he considered he was bound to do in locking them up all night without food. The jury were then discharged, the effect of which will be that the cause will again have to be tried by another jury, if the plaintiff intends to proceed. MAYOR V. FARQUHAR..---CRIM. CON. At the meeting of the Court this morning a number of witnesses were called to prove the statements made by Ser geant Talfourd ; and after counsel had been heard fur the de fence, the Judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff--Damages 750 L UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Hart, a girl of 17, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by suspending herself to the iron handrail of Westminster Bridge. Policeman 32 L, stated that between four and five o'clock that morning, while on duty on the Surrey side of West minster Bridge, he went to the steps leading to the river, and saw the defendant with a strap buckled round her neck, and the other end of it made fast to the iron hand-rail, He immediately ran down the steps, and holding up the girl's body, unbuckled the strap from her neck, and finding she was in a state of insensibility, he conveyed her to the station-house, and some restoratives having been adminis tered, she recovered sufficiently to be enabled to be brought up to this Court. In reply to Mr. CorrurGnAm, the unfortunate girl said she was a flower maker, but that being out of employ, she was reduced to great distress, and had not tasted food for the last two days, and had not slept in a bed for five nights; that she had no relations in London, and that it was the dreadful state of destitution she was in that instigated her to commit suicide. The policeman said that since she had recovered from her insensibility, she had expressed a determination to put her threat into execution. The MAGISTRATE directed the unfortunate girl to be pro vided with food, and said that he should remand her until Wednesday; in the meantime inquiry should be made re specting her. TOTAL LOSS of the MANCHESTER (STEAMER) . The following letter was received this morning by the secretary at Lloyd's, from the agent at Hull, dated June 21, 3 30 P.M.:- " The Leeds (steamer), Mowle, from Hamburgh, bils just arrived, bringing accounts, dated 18th inst., from Mr. Dutton, of Cuxhaven, stating that the M anchester (steamer), Capt.

MO N E AND COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, QUARTER TO TIII?EE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 5,000 to 6,000 bales.—The Share Market was not very active, but a fair business was done, on the whole, at about the subjoined prices :—Chester and Birkenhead, 19a ; Ditto and Drog heda, 65k; Eastern Counties, Registered, 13a; Glasgow and Greenock, Ilti ; Grand Junction, 219 ; Ditto, New Quarters, 391 ; Great North of England, 102 ; Great Western, 1211 to 122; Ditto, Fifths, 22a; Liverpool and Manchester, 109; London and Birmingham, 218 ; Ditto and South-Western, 86 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 57 Midland Counties, 931 ; Ditto, Fifths, 2a ; North Midland, 93a 94 ; South-Eastern, New, 11a a. The trade in bark from New South Wales appears to be growing into some importance. Recent advices give the fol. low:ng statistics, in reference to the probable transactions of the current season—say from October, 1843, to the same month in this year—and state that, whereas in 1841-2, the quantity of bark exported did not exceed 400 tons, it will most likely reach to near 3,000 tons this season. Of the great importance of this national product, and the necessity of protecting its future growth, we trust that the Government is fully aware ; the amount paid to the bark-strippe rs , an d others engaged in hutching, bagging, &c. will, u p on 3,000 tons, b 9,0001., the freight to the shipowner in England near 13,0001. It is not generally known that, highly as the bark of Van Diemen's Land is esteemed in England, that of Austria Felix is of a still superior quality. The circulation and general return of the Bank of Eng land is from March 23 to the 15th inst., and the weekly average, on a comparison, shows the following results : Circulation, Last time Now Deposits, Now Last time 66,000 13,483,000 13,345,000 Decrease Securities, Now Last time , 138,000 21,916,000 21,786,000 Bullion, Last time.

A. 9 to such alterations as will make the Bill what it ought to be, the banking fraternity have quite given up the idea, and positively think themselves fortunate in having obtained any alterations. They are not to be quite so closely screwed down, it seems, in regard to their issues of notes, as the average will be, on Februcry, March, and April last, and if they do not exceed the amount apportioned to them on the monthly average, will not be liable to the penalties at first intended to have been inflicted on a weekly excess, aiming at steadiness of currency indeed with a vengeance, whereas the smallest tradesman can scarcely average his assets on six months, much less on six days. The month of October next will be the period when the new Bill comes into force. In the Savings Banks Bill there have also been a few improvements. Rather more in terest is to be allowed than at first proposed, though the ne cessity for cutting down the present rate is not generally ac quiesced in.

BARNSLEY.—The colliers' strike is nearly at an end—at several of the pits work is resumed, the masters and men having come to terms of agreement; and it is expected that the owners and miners of the other pits will come to terms in the course of this week. The terms on which the men have resumed work are a little better than the old terms, but considerably_ less than what was demanded by the union.—Doncaster Gazette. Among the objects depOsited at the bank of M. Caccia, whose failure was declared at P ar i s l ast month, was a box containing Lord Byron's manuscripts. Thi s b ox, be longing to the Conntess Guiccioli, to whom the great poet's friendship bequeathed his most precious souvenirs, was yes • terday withdrawn from the office of the bankruptcy syndic, and delivered to M, Micard, the Noble Countess's agent. Besides the manuscripts of all the published works, the box contains some unpublished poetical pieces and critical notes, written by Lord Byron himself upon his own work.—Revue de Paris. THE LILLIPUTIAN WEST INDIAMAN.--The patian West Indiaman, which arrived in St. Katharine's Dock on Sunday morning last, from Bermuda, laden with arrowroot, is named the Hellespont, Captain Doe. The crew are six in number; but it is not true that they are all black men. The captain and one of the seamen are not coloured, and, with the exception of one, all the rest ar e mu l a tt oes. "lie Hellespont was b u i lt at Bermuda in March last, this being her first voyage. She is only 43 tons register, l eng th 52 9-10ths feet, b rea dth 1 6 4-10ths, and depth 8 2-10ths feet. Her construction does great credit to the West India builder. She' is sloop-rigged; her cabin is unusually large and com modious for a vessel of her size, it being nearly one-third of her length. The whole of her cargo (arrow-root, the first entire cargo ever imported into London) was discharged on Thirsday; and notwithstanding she encountered very tem pestuous weather during her voyage across the Atlantic, not the slightest damage was done to either vessel or cargo. Yes terday the Hellespont was being varnished and otherwise im proved in appearance, by her own gallant crew. STOCKING-MAKERS' SHOPS.—We understand that the master framework-knitters are about to adopt rules for the better governance of their workshops, as respects peace, good order, and regularity—a measure long wanted in this locality.
