AT a MEETING of the GENERAL CON VENTION, on Wednesday, July 10, 1839, the fol lowing Resolution was unanimously agreed to : Resolved—" That this Convention has read with feelings of inexp•essible indignation the statements said to have been last night made in the House of Commons, by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, relative to the necessity and propriety of employing the Metropolitan Police Force in various parts of the country, for the suppression of Public Meetings of the people peaceably conducted : and further, the approbatory remarks of t' , e same Minister, of the bloody-minded and atro cious assault made upon the people of Birmingham by a portion of that unconstitutional and obnoxious force ; and this Conven tion is of opinion, that wherever and whenever persons assem bled for just and legal purposes, and conducting tfiemselves without riot or tumult, are assailed by the police or others, they are justified upon every principle of law and self-preserva ation, in meeting free by force, even to the slaying of the per sons guilty of such atrocious and ferocious assaults upon their rights and persons."

The Lords behaved yesterday like Lords, and did no Legislative work. Mr. O'CONNELL, in the Commons, gave notice that on going into Committee of Supply on Monday he will move an Address to find out the best means of com munication between London and Dub:in. Mr, POULETT THOMSON, in answer to Mr. BAINES, stated that it was the intention of Government to send a gentleman of commercial abilities to watch over the interests of this country at the approaching meeting of the parties forming the German Commercial Lt ague. Lord PALMERSTON assured Lord SAN DON that Go vernment had not lost sight of those who had claims on the Government of Portugal. The Noble Lord obtained leave to bring in a Bill to suppress the Por tuguese Slave Trade. Sir JOHN Hosnoust stated, also in answer to Lord SANDON, that the Government has paid attention to the recommendations of the Commissioners with respect to the monopoly of salt in India. On the House going into a Committee on the Me tropolitan Police Bill, Mr. HUME asked whether Lord J. RUSSELL would consent to take an annual vote for the peace as for the army and navy. Ile asked this from seeing that the police were ordered about like the armed force. Lord JOHN RUSSELL declined to do sn , and on Mr. H UME inquiring how, and when, he cou ld bring the question before the House for discussion, w as answered he had better move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Police Act. ---- Air. DUNCOMBE referred to the accounts published n the Morning Chronicle of the proceedings of the police at Birmingham, and inquired if they were true. Lord JOHN RussELL could only say t h at they differed from tl:e accounts which he h a d rece i ve d. We hope that some investigation will take place into this business before Parliament separates. Properly do the members of the Convention complain that till now no questions have been asked in Parliament on the subject. They remark, justly, that before the Reform Act they could find some of the middle clas,;es, and some represen tatives, to take up the cause of the people—now they are wholly outcasts from the Legislature. It is our duty solemnly and repeatedly to warn thn Legislature and the Government that feelings are grossing up which will either destroy the I Constit u ti on , or b. stifled in conflagration and bloodshed. Lord J. RUSSELL does not believe that any p erson has been wounded since the 1 ii •-f- day, but he believe s th at the people congregate d in I r.,, great numbers, and endeavoured to induce the coil ers ' to come armed into the town, but were dispersed by the police. Our society appears approaching very fst to that of Jamaica, and one class will soon be oblig-d to keep the other in obedience—that is slavery—by the bayonet and the bludgeon, On the Bill being re-committed, Mr. HUME objected to the Money Clause, because the police was now employed by the Crown without any control being ex ercised over it by Parliament, and divided the Com mittee on the clause ; 2.i Members voted with him and 72 against him. The House was occupied the whole night with this Committee, and most of the clauses of the Bill were debated over and over again. The Com mittee, on the motion of Mr. WAKLEY, divided on the clause for augmenting the salaries of the Commissioners of Police, but only seven Members voted for his amend ment. Several other divisions took place without much good effect. One pharisaical clause was rejected on the motion of Mr. CLAY. T'ne Bill, we are bound to say, seems a jumble of more arbitrary and oppressive petty enactments than ever passed the British House of Commons since one of our Monarchs undertook to regu late the size and shape of her subjects' garments. We are already a priest-ridden and a lawyer-ridden people, and very soon, if we go on in our present career, we seem likely to become a police-ridden people. GOD help us, for we seem resolved not to help our selves. The House was employed discussing the clauses of this Police Bill till past Two o'Clock. The meeting at the Mansion House yesterday will teach the financiers of both parties that they must establish a Uniform Penny Postage. Let but the example of the City be followed, as we hope it will be, and the result cannot be doubtful. Not one of the speakers, and they were all men of busi ness, entertained the least doubt that the great increase of corrrespondence would prevent any material falling off in the revenue. Mr. LARPENT pointed out the fact that a considerable sum would be paid in advance by the purchase of a stock of stamps. Mr. DILLON quoted several examples of the evasion of postage under the present law. Mr. TRAVERS dwelt on the tendency of evading the Post-office charges to corrupt the morals of all classes. The LORD MAYOR, whu will surely hereafter be called the wise and the good LORD MAYOR, reminded the meeting that no ex cuse of deficiency of revenue was suffered to stand in the way of abolishing or reducing the du ties on leather, soap, salt, &c., and lie might have added, abolishing the income tax, when the landowners resolved to accomplish that. But all these gentlemen insisted that when the question concerned such a great moral and social improve. ment, revenue ought not to be thought of ; and if any sums were wanted for the real service of the State, or even for the wasteful extravagance of the Government, they must be asked for from Parlia ment. Well did Mr. DILLON Say — Let the meeting recommend the Government at once to act with a bold prudence—with a wise temerity—and if there was a deficiency, to s upply it.—( Cheers. ) It was a novel situation for a Chancellor of the Exchequer to be in, to have to devise taxation, , not for war—not for the purposes of avarice or ambition— not to spread far and wide scenes of bloodshed and dis order, but for the diffusion of intelligence—for the pur poses of knowledge and truth and social improvement. —( Loud cheers.) It was to be hoped that this great subject could be discussed on enlarged principles—that it would not be tampered with for any paltry purpcse of place—(Cheers) —not sacrificed for any paltry purpose of opposition.--( Loud cheers.) On this national question there would be neither Whig nor Tory, Radical nor Con servative--but all must zmlously combine.—( Cheers.) (Cheers.) Let not party spirit enter into it.—( Cheers) —it was a banquet spread for the whole nation. Let not the harpies of discord descend upon that holy feast. —( Cheers.) Let men of all creeds, all sects, all parties in this good cause, heartily unite—(Cheers)—in the cause of science, of education, of religion—( Cheers)—the cause of domestic intercourse and national improvement.—( Cheers.) The Post. office was to all of us open ; to all of us, therefore, it was deeply interesting that the Post-office should be well and economically managed.—( Cheers. ) We strongly recommend Mr. RICE to study this, and study the whole proceedings of the meeting ; and he will then, we thi n k, com e t o th e conc l us i on , that the uniform penny postage must be adopted whether any pledge he given by the House of Com mons or not. We further recommend him, there fore, not to daily with the matter, or he will not, and Sir R. PEEL will, have the credit of accomplishing it. We thought his statement on Friday was an invitation to oppose his plan, and the eagerness with which Sir ROBERT PEEL accepted his invi tation, ought to convince him that he committed a great mistake. Has it occurred to him that Sir ROBERT envies him very much his present chance, and is himself • extremely anxious to immortalize his own name by connecting it with a great social improvement more lasting than " PEEL'S Bill ?" Let Mr. RICE not lose an excellent opportunity of ef fecting a great good, and leave it to be performed by the Tories. We admit that his plan was nearly all we expected of it, that it does credit to the Ministry, and we cannot comprehend why he should have impeded it by dwelling on the difficulties it would encounter, and exaggerating the losses it would cause. It is his duty, we admit, to take care of the revenue, but be cannot now require to learn that the only excuse for levying a particle of revenue is that it is for the public good ; and when any branch of the revenue, like that now collected on carrying letters, which the best authorities have condemned as a source of revenue, is injurious to the public, it is his duty to abolish it. He may implicitly trust the House of Commons and the people, who have shown too great a readiness to raise a large revenue, to make up any deficiency caused by the establishment of a uniform penny postage. By now boldly carrying his own plan into effect he will secure power for his party, and prevent Sir ROBT. PEEL from making such a reform the first act of his next Administration. If Mr. RICE on Friday should be luke-warm on this subject, dnd resolve on maintaining the reve nue at all hazards, he will betray his own friends, without securing for himself the character of an able financier. We have given in tinother part . of The Sun the observations in the Times of yesterday, and in the Spectator of Sunday last, on the Shannon Bill. We are well-wishers to the improvement of Ireland, but we dislike jobs of all kinds, and we, therefore, as impartial Journalists, feel it our duty to call at tention to Mr. RICE'S effrontery in palming this Limerick rffair on the country, to the injury of the Administration of which he, unfortunately for the Liberal cause, has too long formed a part. The affair appears to us the more glaring, when we consider that. it is not many da)s since Mr. RICE had the assurance to persist in his opposition to a second resolution of the House of Commons in favour of the shippinc' class of Danish claimants, who had a just debt against the Treasury, into whose coffers the money for their indemnification had been paid thirty-two years ago. The minute on the subject of these claims has, we understand, just passed the Treasury, and will, no doubt, judging from the private instructions which Mr. RICE acknowledged having given to the Com missioners on a former occasion, turn out another attempt to shuffle the claimants out of their just rights. - If the House of Commons will tamely submit to the passing of such jobs, on the olie blind, and su c h conteinpt of the privileges of Parliament on the other, it is high time that a reform should take place, and the people have representatives who would_ see justice more impartially and effectually administered. The Morning Post, which on Tuesday dis charged its masked battery of disloyalty against the QUEEN, yesterday opened its slanderous fire upon the Ladies of the B e d c h am b er , warned, doubt less, if not alarmed, by the hints given it by a Contemporary of its own kidney, that it was doing no service to their common cause by the course it was pursuing. The Times in s i nua t es t h at t h e Post is acting the part of a tool in the hands o f other parties in thus pertinaciously keeping up the discussion of a subject which the relatives of the unfortunate Lady FLORA HASTINGS, the per sons prin c ip a ll y concerne d, mus t now wish to be no l onger agitat e d. I n t hi s i ns i nuat i on th ere is a mixture of truth and falsehood. It is quite true that the Morning i t it s Peloustalilsy u a tool—that every body knows— but an ancient when it tre that grudge"t the Times is merely male volently endeavours to mislead the public as to the quarter from which the Post receives its orders. The whole affair has been made a party busines s f rom the becrinnino• ; and the unprincipled prompters of the6scandal-mongering print care nut a whit to what length s they go, pro vided they can turn it to account, by gratifying their factious malignity, or venting their vindictive spite towards the highest Personage in the realm, whose unpardonable crime it is that she rejected their services on constitutional grounds. The oracle of Printing-house -square sees clearly enough the damage which the cause of the Tory party " must sustain by these attacks upon the SOVEREIGN, and he is therefore' anxious that they should not be attributed to their true cause. This is the reason why he puts the public on a wrong scent. So far does the Morning Post carry its extrava gance on this " awful subject," as to charge the Ladies of the Court and Sir JAMES CLA RKE, with little less than the murder of Lady FLORA HAST INGS. Can anything be more atrocious than the spirit in which the following passage in yesterday's number of that Journal is Penned : " What the Ladies who constitute the daily society of the Queen of ENGLAND, and the Physician to whose care her Majesty's health and life are entrusted, have done, the solemn procession, passing before us while we write, may suffice to tell. The friends of these Ladies and of this Physicia❑ say that they are not to blame. Who, then, is to blame ? Why do they not name the offender ? Is it pretended that no blame has been incurred, no fault committed, no harm done ? Alas T. the sad obsequies of the victim are moving before our eyes, and supply to those questions a melancholy reply." This slanderous venom is spurted out, too, with as much impudence as if the writer were utterly unconscious that it was at variance with what he wrote only the day before. On that day he told his readers that the " friends of these Ladies and of this Physician" were giving it out every where that the QUEEN was the sole " offender ;" yet the brainless hack asks why these persons do not name the offender. This, at least, serves to show that be was himself the father of the lie against her Ma jesty. Let us, moreover, remind him and his em ployers that it is possible that an error, if not afault, may be committed, and harm done, without blame being incurred. TO make our readers fully acquainted with the sentiments of the Times, which are at once a vindi cation of the Court and a showing up of the ma lignity of the Tories, we insert our Contemporary's r emarks in estenso. We perceive by the Votes that Mr. GOULBURN last night gave notice that he would to-morrow oppose the bringing up the Report for a Uniform rate of Postage of One Penny, on the ground that the Revenue cannot afford it. In other words, the Tories are resolved to act like the dog in the manger, because they have not the golden opportunity of granting this great boon to the public, they will not (if possible) allow others to do it. Even if carried—as carried it will be--in the Commons, the Tory Lords intend to throw the measure out. They have the power — but, let them use it—that's all. One thing is clear, that the Commons must send the Bill up, backed by as strong a majority as the friends of good government, and the universal inte rests of the country can muster. The Penny Postage is not for the benefit of a faction, but for the welfare of all parties—the country at large. The termination of the trial of the Paris prisoners by the Ceurt of Peers on Monday evening, is the only in telligence of any interest in the Paris Journals of Tues day. The President announced that on Wednesday their Lordships would meet to pronounce sentence, so that the fate of the accused was not known. The Chamber of Deputies sat on Tuesday, and adopted several local and individual projects of laws. The Madrid Journals received are of the 2d inst. They bring advices from the frontier of the defeat of a strong division of the Carlists under FORCADELL, near Lucena, on the 25th ult. The Christinos were com manded by General FRANCISCO NARVAEZ, who led the attack in person. CABRERA was reported to be pre sent. The Carlist cavalry were cut in pieces, and the rebels driven with great slaughter from all their posi tions around Alcora and Lucena. In imitation of INIAROTO, the Carlist Genaral Count D'ESPAGNE, has recently shot 20 Carlist officers for alleged treason. BOURSE.—Pmas, TUESDAY, JULY 9. First Highest lowest Last Price Price. Price.

The EMPEROR will shower honours upon all who were most active in removing the faithful Vassal of the Porte, Prince Almosen, from 'the poVernment, There is no new's in the Brussels and Dutch Papers. Letters from Constantinople of the 19th ult. repre sent the recovery of the SULTAN as almost hopeless. In addition to an internal complaint of long standing, his Highness is supposed to have ruptured a blood vessel while under the influence of choler produced by a note from the French Ambassador, dissuading him from attacking MEHEMET ALL Since that period he has expectorated blood in quantities so great as frequently to alarm his attendants. The heir to the Ottoman Throne is a young man a b ou t n i neteen years of age, brought up in that seclu s i on common to Princes of the Osmanlis dynasty, of whose notions of Government nothing can be known before his assumption of the Im perial and Pontifical authority ; hence the indisposition of Manmoun is an affair of more than ordinary interest. But the SULTAN'S illness has not in the least cooled his ardour for war. On the contrary, be has expressed him self indifferent to the protraction of his life after seeing MEHEMET ALL and his son in chains before him. The recovery of Egypt and Syria would reconcile him to the loss of Greece, and enable him to transmit an unbroken sceptre to the future High Priests of Islamism. Since the last advices from Constantinople the SULTAN has diffused great joy among the inhabitants by the pro mulgation of a Firman abolishing the Government mo nopoly of bread, and the house-tax imposed for defraying the expenses of quarantine establishments. His Highness has moreover commanded that to all persons who have paid the house-tax, the sums paid by them shall be returned on application to the Imperial Treasury. To this intelligence from Constantinople, we may add the following extracted from the Piedmont Gazette, re lative to the progress of events in Syria and Egypt : " Having heard that Hafiz Pacha had advanced to Tsir, and had occupied several villages, distributing arms to the populace, and publishing proclamations, Ibrahim left Aleppo for Tel el Kbair, on the 29th of May. On the sth or 6th of June, it appears that Ibrahim evacuated Ain tab, which was immediately occupied by the Turks under Soleiman Pacha. The following day there bad been a slight skirmish between some of the cavalry of the two armies. On the Bth, Ibrahim, according to the orders from Mehemet Ali of the 4th, sent the following letter to Hafiz Pacha, demanding an explanation of his hostile movements. " IBRAHIM PtCHA TO HAFIZ PACHA, COMMANDER-IN- CHIEF OF TILE OTTOMAN ARMY. "In consequence of the despatches addressed by the Great Powers to their respective Consuls-General resi dent at Alexandria, I am convinced that they do not ap prove of war, and that his Highness our most puissant Master partakes of their sentiments in this respect. Ne vertheless, Ist, Soleiman Pacha, Pacha of Marasei, has sent a body of cavalry to attack ours which was at Bulanech 2d, Your Excellency has sent Mislik Bey with a-corps of Curds to Paia, for the purpose of inciting the population to revolt-3d, Haigi Omer Ogle has been sent with the same object to Kurde Dagh-4th, You have at tacked on our territory our 11,-nedis with your cavalry, regular and irregular-sth, You have distributed arms to tee inhabitants of villages in the province of Aintab, while Soleiman Paella has entered that town, and persists in maintaining himself there up to this time. Besides this, your Excellency yesterday made an excursion with a corps of regular cavalry up to the neighbourhood of our encampments, and your artillery fired on the Henedis of our advanced posts. Up to this day I have suffered these at tempts without offoring any hostile movement in op position to them, because I am persuaded that hostilities aro contrary to the wish of our Sublime Master, not less than to the views and principles of the great European powers. My state of inaction, therefore, is to be attributed oily to my desire of conform ing to the will of our august Master. If, however, on your side you have orders to begin the war, of what good are all these menaces, all these intrigues? In this case, let your Excellency present yourself openly on the field of battle !—Your Excellency has no doubt not forgotten that you will find those men who know not fear, and who will net allow of these proceedings going on. Having taken the liberty of writing to you, I send you the Colonel of Artillery, Mahrnoud Boy, to beg of your Excellency to give me a candid and positive answer." CARLOW ELECTION COMMITTEE (THIS DAY.) TRIUMPH OF MR. GISBORNE. The Committee this morning decided that the vote of Patrick Barry was a good one, and must be placed upon the poll. This has the eff,:ct of:unseating Colonel Bruen, as it places Mr. Gisborne in a majority of one. We are happy to find that Mr. Gisborne, the Liberal candidate, has just been declared the sitting Member. LORD HOYDEN.--We learn with deep reipet that this much respected Nobleman continues in a very precarious state of health, and it is painful to staf e th a t gting for some days past his Lordship hal experienced no favour able change, nor is there any symptom Indic the probability of his restoration. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, ittlt ll , 1839 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. Their Lordships met today shortly before one o'clock, for the purpose of proceeding in state to Buckingham Palace, with the Address agreed to on the motion of the Archbishop of Canterbury, praying her Majesty to rescind the grant of the House of Commons, for the purposes of education. There were about 100 Peers present at half past one o'clock, all of whom were in their Court-dresses, or military costume. Among the Peers present, we no ticed the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Armagh, the Earl of Farnham, the Earl of Redesdale, Lord Rolle, Lord Bexley, the Marquis of Huntly, Marquis of Ely, Lord Forrester, the Earl of Dart mouth, Lord Aylesford, the Earl of Warwick, the Earl of Selkirk, the Marquis of Londonderry, Viscount Strangford, the Earl of Eglintoun, the Marquis of Thomond, Lord Dunsany, the Earl of Bandon, Lord Fitzgerald, Lord Feversharn, Lord Ellenborough, the Earl of Ripon, the Marquis of Camden, the Earl of Brecknock, the Earl of Charleville, Viscount Canterbury, Lord Rayleigh, Lord Kenyon, the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Falmouth, Lord Heytesbury, Lord Sondes, the Marquis of Cholmon• deley, the Earl of Sandwich, Earl of Eldon, Viscount Can- Lord Colville, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Hawarden, the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, the Earl of Rosslyn, the Earl of Rivers, Lord Prudhoe, the Marquis of Lothian, the Earl of Mansfield, Lord Roden, the Marquis of Westmeath, the Earl of Harewood, Lord Gleugall, Lord Stuart de Rothsay, Lord Wallace, Lord St. Vincent, Lord Ravcnsworth, Lord Combermere, the Earl of Devon, the Earl of Cadogan, Lord Calthorpe, Lord De la Warr, and the Marquis of Abercorn. Among the Bishops present we noticed the Bishops of London, Carlisle, Lincoln, Rochester, and Dromore. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Half-past One o'clock, when the names of the Peers present were called over by Mr. Pulman, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, according to their seniority, in which order their Lordships proceeded in state to the Palace. Several of the Bishops did not receive the most flatter ing reception from the mob outside. HER MAJESTY'S MOST GRACIOUS ANSWER. I duly appreciate your zeal for the interests of Religion, and your care for the Established Church. I am ever ready to receive the advice and assist ance of the House of Lords, and to give to their recommendations the attention which their authority justly deserves. At the same time I cannot help expressing my regret that you should have thought it necessary to take such a step on the present oc- caszon. You may be assured that, deeply sensible of the duties imposed upon me, and more especially of that which binds me to the support of the Established Church, I shall always use the powers vested in me by the Constitution for the fulfil ment of that sacred obligation. It is with a deep sense of that duty that I have thought it right to appoint a Committee of my Privy Council to superintend the distribution of the Grants voted by the House of Commons for Public Education. Of the proceedings of this Committee Annual Reports will be laid before Parliament, so that the House of Lords will be enabled to exercise its judgment upon them ; and I trust that the funds placed at my disposal will be found to have been strictly applied to the ob jects for which they were granted, with due respect to the rights of conscience, and with a faith ful attention to the security of the Established Church. It will be seen, from a communication inserted in another part of our Paper, that the disturbance, which prevailed at Ramsgate for the last three days have been put an end to by the most satisfactory of all modes—the resolution of the authorities not to enforce the absurd clause in the Tate local Act. We noticed the Original cause of those disturbances on Tuesday, and had little doubt at the "lithe that the cruel and selfish regulation of the town authorities would lead to such a result. By a local Act, which some persons got smuggled through Parliament, they had thrown out of employment a number of poor people who used to get their livelihood by hawking fish and vegetables through the streets. They consequently raised the price of such commodities to the middling and poorer classes, who, from 'convenience' as well as cheapness, used to supply themselves with what_ `they wanted at their own doors in place of going to market, and all for what purpose ?—the beneit of a few grasping monopolists, who wanted to secure large profits from the visitors as well as the inhabitants, at the expense, too, of the poorer c l asses . Th ese persons naturally rebelled against the unjust laW, and had re course to force, which the Magistrates but slowly attempted to put down, for the best of all reasons — they had a bad cause, and the other parties had the sympathy of the great majority of the inhabitants. The evil, however, is now abated, and we counsel the autho rities, if they wish the town to prosp er , t o avo id f or the future such selfish and injurious regulations. FIRE IN THE CITY.---00 Tuesday, about two o'clock in the afternoon, a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. J. and M. Nairn, tarpauling warehouse, situated at the corner of Tower Royal-court, Queen- street, Cheap side. It was occasioned by the boilin g over of some pitch at the back part of the warehouse. The damage is ex tensive. The premises are insured. THE STORM AT HORSHANI.—The thunder lightning, hail, and rain on Sunday night was awful at Horsham. The skylight at the King's Head over the hall was broken in by the hail, some pieces of which are said to have measured threes inche s , and all the handsome papering of the principal landing spoiled by the rain, which poured in like a deluge. Much damage was also done at the Anchnr, Crown, nod various parts of the town, and it is calculated that 5001. will not replace the glass broken by the tempest.—Brighton Guardian. WIIITFIELD.—It is, we understand, proposed, on the 30th of July instant, to hold a grand meeting of Dissenters on Stinchecombe-hill, near Dursley, Glouces tershire, (a spot where the immortal Whitfield was in the habit of preaching), and which from its elevated and de lightful situation, commanding one of the most extensive and picturesque prospects to be obtained in any part of Great Britain, is regarded as being peculiarly suitable for the occasion. Fifty or sixty distinguished ministers, among whom are Drs. Leifchild, Patton of America, Redford, and Ross, with Messrs. Jay, East, Jam es , Sib ree, an d ot h ers o f celebrity, have been invited to attend. ACCIDENT AT KNIGIITSISKIDGE.—On Mon day night, between nine and ten o'clock, as one of the carts belonging to a Brentford carrier, was returning from town on the right side of the road, near Knightsbridge, the car riage of Sir Rufane Donkin, Bart., containing the Baronet and his Lady, which was coming to town on the wrong side of the road, ran with such force against the cart that one of the shafts penetrated the chest of the off-side horse, to the depth of several inches. The poor animal immediately fell down and soon expired. The shafts of the cart were broken, and the horse started off and turned up Mill's-buildings, just below the Horse Barracks, through which there is no thoroughfare, knocking down a man named Henry Sloper who attempted to stop him. The unfortunate man was picked up in an apparently lifeless state, and taken to the shop of a surgeon nearly opposite, from whence he was ultimately conveyed in a cab to his residence, in a most dangerous state. Sir Rufane and Lady Donkin escaped injury, and proceeded home in a hackney coach. . - The Dubli n E ven i ng Mail alleges the preva lence of forgeries in the election of Poor-law Guardians, n the evidence of a case heard on Saturday, at the Arran Quay Police-office. It appears that a Mrs. Dovey sum moned a grocer, named Svnnott, and another, to show cause why they should not be adjudged to pay the penalty by law provided for having illegally, and without her keowledge, affixed the initials of her name, " A. D.," to a certain paper left at her house, relative to the appoint ment of Poor-law Guardians. " Like every other Whig measure" (says the Dublin detractor) " that of Poor-laws for Ireland has been prepared in so careless and unbusiness like a way, that the Bill is not only likely to be the source of much litigation, hut also (f much dishonesty and crime. The system of voting in any other way than viva voce ought never to have been recognised in it. It allows fe males to vote (for the purpose. we suppose, of setting an an example of Universal Suffrage,) and it permits the votes to be taken in writing (manifestly as a preliminary to the ballot). Thus, not only are weak females made liable to be imposed upon, but an invitation and inducement is held out to the dishonest of both sexes to commit forgeries. The system has no sooner begun to work than these effects have exhibited themselves." WHITTLING. -1 ma y here just as well mention the custom of whittling, w hich is so common in the Eastern States. It i s a habit, arising from the natural restlessness of the American, when he is tot employed, of cutting a piece of stick, or anything else, with his knife. SJrne are so wedded to it from long custom, that if they nave not a piece of stick to cut, they will whittle the backs of the chairs, or anything within their reach. A Yankee shown into a room to await the arrival of another, has been known to whittle away nearly the whole of the mantel-piece. Lawyers in court, whittle away at the table before them ; and Judges will cut through th e i r own bench. In some Courts they put sticks before noted whittlers to save the furniture, The Down Easters, as the Yankees are termed generally, whittle when they are making a bargain, as it fills up the pauses, gives them time for reflection, and, moreover, prevents any examination of the countenance—for in b arga i n ing, like in the game o f brag, the countenance is carefully watched, as an index to the Wishes,— Captain Marryat's Diary in America. RAMSGATE-WEDNESDAY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A disturbance between the Commissioners of this town and the tradesmen, particularly the fhhcrmen, upon the committal of several upon an Act of Parliament, lately en forced by them, to prevent hawking fish, has taken place ; the excitement was very great, and two of the Commis• sioners had their windows broken. A meetirg has been called, and this obnoxious clause removed or rescinded— thus ending the disturbance and excitement which has been for three days in our hitherto quiet little fashionable town. [We have received from another correspondent, a letter to nearly the same effect, with the following account of the measures adopted by the inhabitants and the Commis sioners, to abate the evil :—] " At a numerous meeting of certain inhabitants, holden at Hubbard's Room, Ramsgate, on Wednesday, the 10th day of July, 1839. the Deputy in the Chair : " Resolved unanimously—That this Meeting request the Commissioners under the Ramsgate Improvement Act, to direct their Officers to lay no more informations under the 128th section of the Art. " RICHARD TOMSON, jun., Chairmar." At the above Meeting, a majority of the Commissioners were present, and expressed their concurrence in the ob ject of the Meeting ; and a RequiQition for a Special Meeting. under th Act, was immediately signed, to fur ward such object. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCIt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WILDNESDAY,—" We have no material alteration to note in our Cotton Market ; the sales to-day are 2,500 bags, of which 600 have beep taken fur export at previous rates." We have received a New York paper ono day later, of the 20th of June : STATE OF TRADE AND COMMERCE. . - MONEY 'MARKET, JUNE 20 '—The business done at the Stock Exchange yesterday was again rather extensive, and especially in the fancy description of Stocks, and prices generally had a further declining tendency, and in some instances did recede at a to per cent. on previous rates. We learn from Philadelphia papers that the Philadelphia Loan Company have made an assignment to Michael Ray, Esq., the Regis'er cf Bills for the city and county of Phi ladelphia, and he has receipted the trusts thereby created. The European advices received at this port some days since, arrived at New Orleans on the 10th inst. The in telligence caused almost complete stagnation in the Cot ton market at that place the following day, which was a matter looked for here by all who were acquainted with the character of that information. The sales comprise 200 to 300 bales only, at a decline on previous prices, but no rates were given. No change for the better need be looked for in the South, until the propositions of the Cot • ton Circular, recently issued here, shill become known and understood throughout that quarter. The discou raging accounts from New Orle ins appear not to have had any effect upon our own Cotton market. We have received Buenos Ayres Papers to April 21:— We hear that General Espagne was on the 9th inst. 210 leagues from Corrientes, in full march fur that capital. The French have dissolved copartnership with the Re veristas in the occupation of Martin Garcia. The Orien• tal force stationed on that island has been withdrawn, and the garrison is now exclusively French. The weather during the week has been fine. " TO TILE EXECUTIVE OF TIIE PROVINCE. " Art. 1.

Exchange on Ergland 4d. The Mercantile Gazette contains an important despatch of the victory obtained by General Espagne over the traitor Beron. When closing his despatch he stales he received posit;ve information that amongst the killed of the enemy is Beron de Astrada, Governor of Corrientes, as also more than sixty officers. The above news was received at Buenos Ayres on Saturday and caused much excitement. We have received Rio Janeiro Papers to the 9th of May. Exchaege, 291. And also the Montreal papers to the 18th of June. TILE FUNDS. We have arrivals this morning from the United States and South America. From the former, the accounts from New York are of much the same description as those pre viously received. Their funds continued in a depressed state, and trade was in a stagnant condition. Exchange on England, ; United States Bank Shares, 1171 118. The papers are only of one day later, consequently they had not received as yet the raising of the discounts by the Bank Directors, to 5, 1 1 per Cent. We understand that the amount of difference of the gentleman who failed yesterday in the Stock Exchange amounts to about eight thousand pounds, that is to say, in the house ; but out of the house it is not as yet ascer tained. It is also stated that he has had severe losses by one speculation ; in Shares his loss was twenty thousand pounds, and by another also to a considerable amount : he is much esteemed by all parties, who much regret his failure. _ _ . Consols which closed yesterda* at 93i a for the Ac -count, opened this morning at 93i, with little doing as yet. We hear that the bankers have a good supply of money, but there is rather a mistrust, consequently they are very cautious in discounting at present.

AWFUL FIRE IN COLLUMPTON, 132 HOUSES BURNT.—The town of Coliumpton was visited on Monday last by a frightful occurrence. At nearly one o'clock in the morning flames were observed issuing from the roof of a thatched tenement on the western side of the principal street in the lower part of the town, which communicated with desolating activity to the contiguous habitations, most of which being also thatched, were, owing to the influence of a brisk wind, consumed with fearful rapidity, the fire then extended across the principal street, where it occasioned the destruction of a great number of shops and dwel hogs, the unfortunate inmates of which were glad to escape without being able to save, in many instances, even the least portion of their goods or property. The flames then reverted to the op posite side of the street, and soon reduced to ashes a long line of cottages and houses ; many of the latter being oc cupied by respectable individuals. Great exertion was used to stem the progress of the devouring element ; the parish engine was, as it is usually found to be in provincial stations, quite inadequate for useful service ; but one from the neighbouring village of Bradninch, aided by the arrival of the engines from Tiverton, assisted in combating the de structive course of the flames. The scene of distress atten dant on this occasion baffles description, but it may, in some degree, be imagined, when we state that 132 houses and cottages, many of them occupied by respectable trades- ' men, have been reduced to ashes. The authorities of the town exerted themselves with laudable solicitude in rescu ing the property and providing for the unfortunate owners. The Bank is injured, although the con tiguous flames spread learhilly round it; the whole of the new street is destroyed, and a melan choly chasm now presents itself where, a few days ago, were to be found the comfortable abodes of a multi tude of individuals, many of whom have, by this calamity, been deprived of a shelter, and who have no resource kut in the hearts of the charitable. One life only has been lost on this sad occasion, and that by the sudden prostration of a wall. A large portion of the property destroyed is not insured. FATAL GIG ACCIDENT--On Tuesday even ing a fatal accident occurred in Bond-street. A horse and gig came along the street at a furious rate without any per. son in the vehicle, when a poor man crossing the street well unfortunately knocked down and killed. The chaise was dashed to pieces. The animal kept on at a furious rate, with the shafts attached to the harness, through Piccadilly, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, the Strand, and into Holywell street, where he fell down and was secured. RIOTS AT BIRMINGHAM. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY, HALF- PAST 3 P.M. The authorities have at length yielded to public opinion by withdrawing from the streets, at an early hour yester day evening, the military and the police ; indeed, had they persevered in letting loose upon the people the latter unpopular force the results would be most lamentable, as the people breathe nothing but vengeance against them. If they are not immediately removed from the sight of the Birmingham people neither life or property will be safe, at least so long as they remain here the borough will not enjoy peace. This is the opinion of all classes and all persons. In consequence of the removal of the police the town was last night comparatively quiet. Still some complaints have been made against them. It is said that on last night they broke a man's arm, and shamefully abused a female who was waiting in Adgebeth-street for her husband. It is a source of deep regret to be compelled to complain of a force which was raised with the professed object of protect ing the public peace. But it is equally necessary for the protection of the peace to expose the men who consti tuted that force, when by unnecessary violence they out strip their duty. And such in candour, but with regret, must be laid to the charge of the Metropolitan Police, now in Birmingham. A more fatal step, both to the peace of Birmingham, and the character of the police themselves, could not be advised or taken, than that of sending them down here, when there was a sufficient wilitary and mu nicipal force in the place to suppress the most violent pro ceedings, not to speak of the general determination of the classes—high, middle, and low—to crush the slightest appeal to physical force. Mr. Harney was brought before the Mayor yeiterday, but was remanded till to-day, to await the arrival of In spector Field, and other witnesses. Mr. Russell, of Loveday.street, and Mr. Cutler, the Common Councilman, will be Mr. Collins's bail. Mr. Lovett%; sureties have not as yet been perfected. Mr. Taylor, proprietor of the Golden Lion, Aston street, states that the Committee of General Safety do not meet at his house. The organization of trades which is now forming, will, when perfected, present a terrible engine, before which all the efforts or acts of the Conven tion will be as children's play. lam slightly acquainted with their plans and their intended movements, and unhesi. tatingly affirm that they will prove a thorn in the side of whatever Government they may come in contact with. A report that the Metropolitan Police are acting the part of spies here in coloured clothes has so put the originators of the above plan on the qui vive that it will be physically impossible to trace their movements. TOWN COUNCIL-METROPOLITAN POLICE. Yesterday then• was a meeting of the Council in the Town-hall, the Mayor, Mr. Schofield, in the Chair. Be tween Aldermen and Common Councilmen there were forty eight members present. A very warm debate took place on the introduction of the police into the borough. Mr. Bloxland, a Common Councilman, exposed his arm, which was actually livid from the blows received from the police, while he was peaceably returning to his own house. Mr. Muntz and several others expressed their disgust and ab horrence at such brutality. Mr Bloxland instanced other cases where unoffending men were cruelly ill treated by the police. A notice to the following effect was put on the book:—" That at the next meeting of the Council a Committee be appointed to inquire by whose orders an armed force, not accountable to the Commander-in-Chief of the town, unknown to our Constitution, un-Saxon and un- English, repugnant alike to the Bill of Rights, the rights of man, and social happiness of Englishmen, were introduced into Birmingham, and who immediately, and without the slightest notice, commenced an indiscriminate massacre." A protest against there being continued here is being numerously signed. Tnere have been only two prisoners brought in during last night, and the Rifle Guard has been removed from the public office. Still, if you inquire is all danger over? a significant nod of the head says No I If I were to judge from the apparent peaceable surface which Birming ham presents, I would conclude that all danger for the present is over. No doubt if the wisdom of the Legisla ture does not by some remedial and quick measures anti cipate the working of the present organization, the dies ire will arrive much quicker than way be calculated. Mr. Hartley will be examined this evening. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Frederick Syrett, Robert Agar, and Wiliam Blake were indicted for steal ing- a shawl and other articles value 1001., bank-notes value 120/., 28 sovereigns, and other moneys, the property of James Baptiste Reynauld, in his dwelling-house. The proseeutor is a silk mercer residing in, Bond-street, and the prisoner Syret was in his rervice in June last. The is , ,ner went out on the 2d of June, and on the prosecu tcr's return, in consequence of a communication he had re c( ived from his servant Ann Kelly, he was induced to go over the house, which he found had been plundered of property tG a large amount, and various places had been broken open and money and plate purloined, besides pieces of lace, and shawls of considerable value, and several articles of wear ing apparel. On the Sunday after two police officers pro duced several articles belonging to the prosecutor, and a pair of black trousers belonging to the prosecutor were found on the prisoner Syrett. Two police officers described the manner in which they apprehended the prisoners, in a house in which were found the goods of the prosecutor, and also sundry housebreaking, imple ments. The servant Kelly deposed to the fact of Syrett having endeavoured to prevail_on her to leave the house s as he wished to have two friends in to see him. The landlady of the house where the prisoners were found, described the taking of the house by Syret, and that Agar applied for the key, soon after which a van of goods arrived. Elizabeth Gibbs, residing in New Bond-street, saw a person resembling the prisoner Blake go into the prose cutor's house on the afternoon of the robbery. The clerk at the Queen Square Police-office, deposed as to the fact of certain statements which had been made by the prisoners, but which were not considered of suffi cient importance to be signed either by the prisoners or the Magistrates. The statement of Syrett went to exonerate the other prisoners. The Jury acquitted Blake, and found Syrett and Agar guilty. The Court sentenced them to be transported for four teen years.

The stormy state of the weather this morning had a marked effeet on the attendance, which was defi6ent both in number and fashion ; the rain ceased about an hour and a half befoie the first race, but re-commenced just before starting for tile July Stakes, and continued just long enough to disperse the ring, and give the jockies wet jackets. Having given the re sults of the three events in an express sent from the Heath. we have only to add a few particulars to the Handicap and July Stakes. For the former Condor made the running, followed by Mr. Goddard's colt and Egotist, All-fours and Minima lying next them ; at. the corner of the Plantations All-fours went up to the first three, and for a few yards it was a pretty race with the four; All-fours, however, came out in style near the end, and won cleverly by a length.
