LONDON, THURSDAY, AUG-VsT 22, 1839 LONDON : THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1839. The Lords did not meet yesterday. The Commons met at two o'clock, and forwarded the Exchequer Bills Funding Bill, and the Exchequer Bills Ireland Fund ing Bill. The Bank of (Ireland) Continuance Bill was read a second time after some remarks. Some opposition was given to the motion for receiving the Report on the Duke of MARLBOROUGH'S Pension Bill, which, after a brief debate, was carried by 48 to 5. The principal opponents of the Bill were Mr. HUME and Mr. WAYLEY. The adjourned debate on Mr. HUME'S motion for leave to bring in a Bill to constitute Councils in Coun ties was resumed, and after a few observations the motion was withdrawn. In our estimation such Coun cils, or some means to place the county-rates under the control of the rate-payers, are more than ever necessary, since Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Constabulary Bill. At the same time we cannot regret that the motion was withdrawn, since it could not possibly lead to anything good at this period of the Session. Mr. I 1 NE, by asking Mr. WOOD if any contracts had been entered into for the conveyance of the West India Mails, elicited a considerable quantity of useful information as to the exertions lately made by the Go vernment to promote communication with diffe rent places. We cannot bring it under the notice of our readers more summarily than by quoting a passage of Mr. BARING'S speech. He said— " During the last few years a weekly communication by steam had been established with Gibraltar—a fort nightly communication with the Baltic—a fortnightly communication with Corfu and the Grecian Islands--a steam communication between England and India—a fortnightly communication between England and North America, and now they had secured by that last ar rangement, a fortnightly steam communication between the West Indies, Mexico, and that country, which was of gre at importance in the present state of their nalColo- P o ssessions." After this explanation, adjourn e d. at Eve o'Clock the House On several occ —7------- " Ib- Czodnas lcately,as on the second Jamaica Bill, as on the ernment Bill, and particu larly as on the Birrnn h ght of atlPolice Bill, the Mi nisters have thou BERT PEEL would say of it. nothin g but what Sir Ito , as if he were their roaster, they have framed tnhfactlmeasures with t wa s not for a view to obtain his approbationeir shouted this that the generous and confidinr, for the Whigs and placed them iii P otE eople nation wished to be under the yoke of the Ifthe Torie s it would place them in office, and make the responsible for their deeds. We a d vert to such a ni topic, to such a degradation of the Ministers, and through them to such a degradation of the w h o l e Liberal party, with feelings of extreme sorrow. W e mourn over the Ministers, and we mourn over the situation of the party of which they are the head. To see Lord JOHN RUSSELL do the bidding o f Sir ROBERT PEEL, to find him in opposition to the Liberals of Birmingham, and the Common Council of London, which a few days ago petitioned against his proceedings, to know that the great bulk of the lower classes speak worse of him and his Government than they ever spoke of the Tories, to hear him spoke n of as FINALITY JOHN, to find him on all popular question s votino with the Tories, and ar rayed against his ow n best friends, and the best friends of the Liberal cause, all these things are for I us subjects of deep regret. They strike a death blow to our hopes—they convince us that we can place no trust in any Statesmen, whatever may have been their professions, and they force us to say, that the people, in spite of soldiers and police, and in spite of treacherous friends, must help themselves. As Mr. O'CONNELL has frequently admonished his countrymen, if they would be free, " them selves must strike the blow." We are induced to make such reflections by com paring the present condition of the Whigs with their condition in 1828. It was our lot to be pre sent at the great festival given in honour of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in 1828, in the Freemason's Ta vern, to commemorate his exertions for the abolition of the Test and Corporation Acts. Compliments well deserved were then poured in on Lord JOHN RUSSELL from every quarter of the kingdom, and on that especial occasion hundreds of enlightened and intelligent men, the representatives of men as in telligent and enlightened as th emse l ves , were enthusiastic in toasting Lord JOHN Rus. SELL. They shouted with joy and gratitude, and their warm-hearted emotions were fully shared by as many female spectators as could be crowded in the ' galleries of the room, who waved their handker chiefs and cheered the Noble Lord as if he had been the benefactor of the human race. The Noble Lo r d must h ave f e l t at that moment, if ever in his life, great and happy. It was a moment worth a whole age of routine, of office, and of salary. It was a moment worth dying to enjoy. We refer to that circumstance with no unkindly feelings, but to inquire why these circumstances are changed? Why it is that the champion who then led the noble army of freemen to victory, should have become almost the vassal and the slave of the Tories. We seek instruction not crimination, and we refer to that memorable event as a clue to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S present—we must call it, with all deferente to him--humiliating situation. For ;what was L or d J OHN R USSELL t h en ap . plandeC then hailed as the saviour of the country ? What Shad he done ? H e h a d l e d on t h e people, to a victory over one intolerant and restrictive law. He had aided them to pull down one pillar, ac cording to Lord ELDON, of the Constitution. He had denounced a restrictive law as a violation of all liberty, and he obtained a triumph over it. He crushed one species of odious tyranny under his feet. He had proved that it was inimical to the welfare of society, and contrary to the conditions on„which men unite together. Why is Lord JOHN RUSSELL now unpopular? What is he now? When he succifeed to office, he became the heir of the Tory syste4N and the advocate of that very tyranny which he hid:denounced, and one pillar of which he had pulled clOwn. The system of which the Test Acts was a part was homogeneous throughout, and as he settled in office he necessarily became, gradually perhaps, and without being sensible of it, opposed to his own former policy. Had that system been of brass and clay, it would have fallen speedily and easily to pieces ; but it was, and is, all of iron. The similar bad laws against the Catholics, which Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Whigs contributed to abolish in 1829, and the several measures of Parliamentary and Municipal Reform, which lie promoted or carried, all confirm the fact that the system he began to administer in 1830 was an odious one of corruption and tyranny. For a time, after he and his party accepted office, old habits of thought and action and old associations and connections, compelled him to go on in the same career whi c h l e d to the abolition of the Test Acts, and the glorious triumph at the Freemasons' Tavern. Gradually, however, he over came his old habits, gradually he forsook the prin ciples that made him combat the Tory system, gradually the one sentiment of official duty over mastered all the sentiments of patriotism, and gra dually he became the mere servant or slave of the Tory system, which, up to 1830, he had assailed, and of which, in 1828, he nobly and boldly pulled down a pillar. This change in his conduct is the cause of the change in his situation. He has been compelled by his subserviency to be, as it were, a mere tool of the Tories, for they framed the system and enacted the laws which he carries into execution. So he appears, to the masses, as the persecutor of inno cent men ; so he has become, instead of being ho noured and applauded, derided and abused. In 1828 he was the conqueror of the Tories, in 1839 he ooks to Sir ROBERT PEEL for approbation, and makes war on the principles he contended for in 1828. What can Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and what can the Ministers gain by this ? He can live but a few years, he may be in office only a few months, but the persecuting policy the coercive system, strengthening the hands of the squires, and extending the sphere of the Govern ment, he is row persuing, will last for years, and be for years the sources of irritation, disorder, and trouble amongst the people. He is but extending a power which must of necessity be wielded by the Tories. The more he extends it, and the more coercive he makes the Government, the sooner must the Tories execute the system which is natu rally theirs and not naturally that of the Whigs. He is therefore sacrificing his own well-earned reputation, sacrificing his glory and his popularity, merely to hasten the return of his opponents and the enemies of the people to office. We might be more patient under what we consider a lamentable tergiversation could we, for one moment, suppose that the coercive system of the Tories is beneficial to the country. But we look at France and are convinced that police regulations and a mili tary government neither protect property nor pre serve tranquilliity. The French papers are every day filled with accounts of the most audacious thefts in the streets of Paris under the eyes of the police. In that country there is a sedition almost every month ; so that Lord JOHN RUSSELL is forfeiting his popularity by in troducing a police and extending a tyranical system of laws, in order to hand down his name with odium to posterity, and promote disturbance and disorder in the land. We are grieved to write thus, but our duty to the Ministers, as well as our duty to the country, compel us to remind them of what the country said and thought of the Whigs in 1828, and what is now said and thought of them. They have sacrificed their own friends only to strengthen, without propitiating, the Tories. The change ought to convince them that they are ir. a false position ; and that those who laboured for several years to pull down the pillars of the Tory Constitution, are now improperly employed in en deavouring to build it up and strengthen it. As the Tory Journals are filled with bitter com plaints day after day of the insecurity of property in Ireland we think it our duty to direct public atten tion to the evidence which we insert, given by Mr. SIMPsoN, to the Lords' Committee, as to the value of land in Ireland. By that it appears that so far from property being insecure it is continually rising in value there, and that Englishmen and prudent Scotchmen are continually investing money in the purchase of land. Even a Stipendiary Magistrate, who must have had good opportunities for know ing the state of the country, has, it appears, be come a landowner. Most people think the land high enough rented in England, particularly when they see, every second or third year, that the landlords graciously condescend to abate some thing of their legal demands on their tenantry ; but in Ireland, according to Mr. SIMPSON, the tenants pay higher rents than in England. Such evidence of the increasing value of property in Ireland is a complete and thorough answer to the thousand columns of trashy abuse which the Tory Jour nals have published against the Government of Ireland during the last five years. Add to this the withdrawal of troops from Ire land, and we cannot fail to conclude, that the conciliatory and anti-Tory Government of Ireland has been as wise as it has been avowedly merciful and kind. At the same time, we say, with the Spectator, that the same test is equally applicable to England, and when we find more troops required here, and disturbances growing up in every part, so that England is almost as bad as Igrreeltatned adoption dowasptuionnder th e Tory G o vernment, we cannot but conclude that the ever-to-be-re and co ercivebeworse Polic as w e k now it toy in En , land is as unwise should bybethhearshloVahnigd loes of the Toryd tu nb jhu hfr.ldo, \Vhy by vernment tha n I r i shmen ?

STEPHEN S , a d m i tt i ng t h e reports o f t h e hireling witnesses to be correct ; but no person was punished for using it, and Ireland is fast becoming tranquil. In England p ersecut i on h as b een tr i e d, an d sullen discontent or violent hatred of the laws is overspreading the land. Should such emotions be perpetuated and extended, they will eat into the core of England's safety. Her boasted Constitu tion; her famous laws, which the Whigs are en forcing in spite of reason and common sense, when deprived of the people's love and respect, will be like a weeii ly biscuit we have sometimes seen at the end of a long voyage, not very foul to look on, here and there only a mark of corruption within, still preserving its form, but lo thoroughly maggot-eaten that when knocked on the table it crumbled into a heap of disgusting dirt. The policy which leads to the persecution of the masses, or the leaders of the masses, will slowly but surely destroy the heart of Britain's greatness, and it will, by and by, tumble by some revolutionary shock into a heap of mournful and offensive ruins. We are sure the public will agree with Mr. O'CoNrusr.A., in thinking that it is the duty of the British Government to use every means in its power to bring to condign punishment the Portu guese miscreants who have formed so horrible a conspiracy against the subjects of this country engaged in suppressing the slave trade. To avenge themselves for the losses they may sustain by the capture of their slave vessels, the persons engaged in the nefarious trade have adopted the resolution of poisoning the wine and water on board any of their ships, as soon as it becomes certain that it must become the prize of an English cruiser. Any thing more diabolical than this, it is hardly pos sible to imagine. The Portuguese are allowed, on all hands, to have been for a long time at the bot tom of the scale of European civilization, but no one till now imagined that they were sunk to the level of savage life. Yet a very little reflection will show that this degradation is nothing more than was to be expected. It is in as strict conformity with the moral laws of nature, as an eclipse is with the physical. The men whose occupation it is to traffic in the flesh and blood of their fellow -creatures, must be familiarised with scenes, and habituated to deeds, which, in no very long time, wear out the very traces of humanity from the soul. If to be the master of slaves be so awfully demoralizing as the sad history of our West Indian colonies tells us it is, what must it be to be actually employed in the fettering, the stowing, the suffocation, the launching of human beings, and the other horrors to which the slave-trader is a party ? Can such a course of life produce anything but an utter depra vity of character ? A brutality below even that of the brutes ? These wretches, we repeat, must, if possible, he punished; and the Government of Portugal is called upon by its duty to the honourable part of the nation, if it does not respect its engagements with other nations, to sift this atrocious conspiracy to the bottom. If it do not act thus, eternal disgrace will he its portion, and its just portion. The very name of a Portuguese will in future stink in the nostril. Letters direct from Constantinople of the 31st ult., confirm the accounts previously received of the accep tance by the Porte of the mediation of the Five Great Powers in settling all differences between the SULTAN and the VICEROY. Nevertheless the HADJI SAIB EFFENDI, accompanied by M. ANSELM, an attache of the French Embassy, was to set out on that evening for Alexandria, with a splendid decoration for MEHEMET ALI, and with an offer of the hereditary Government of Egypt, and its dependencies, to the VICEROY and his family, provided he would consent to restore Syria to thO SULTAN. We see nothing in this mission but a wish to gain time, and perhaps to obtain indirectly a knowledge of the real designs of MEHEMET Au. This could be better effected by the Five Great Powers, especially now that they have taken upon themselves all responsibility of the settlement of the question. No one in Constantinople could really imagine that MEHE MET ALI would give up Syria at the request of the Porte—thus leaving himself at the mercy of his enemies. The possession of Syria is as indispensable. to the independence of Egypt, as is the right of closing the straits of the Dardanelles to the security of Con stantinople. This is so well known to all who are con versant with the merits of the question, that it would be a waste of words to dwell longer upon it. Besides the letters direct from Constantinople of the 31st ult., we have received the Augsburg Gazette, which contains a letter from that capital of the Ist of August. " The offer of intervention made by the Five Great Powers," says this writer, " has been followed by a letter of thanks from the Porte, in which it solemnly repeats its assurance that it will take no step except in concert with them. As Europe has now taken upon itself the settlement of all the misunderstandings in the East, and the Five Great Powers have declared that they will act jointly and in perfect unison, it may be asked in what measures they will agree ? The word Independence' is vague, and the word Integ rity' requires modifications." The writer goes on to enumerate difficulties with which all the world is familiar ; but without suggesting in what way they can be overcome ; and he concludes that the Repre tatives of the Five Powers had a long consultation with NOURRI ErrENDI on the previous day, and that M. BOUTINIEF, the Russian Ambassador, was almost in hourly consultation with the Porte. From all this, we glean one important fact, namely—that the Five Powers have actually taken the settlement of this question upon themselves, and that henceforth they are to be held responsible for the result. The conference will meet early next month in Vienna. Captain WALKER has returned to Constantinople with no very exalted opinion of the loyalty of the Turkish navy. His mortification at being on board the Capitan Pacha's ship when the fleet was betrayed is extreme. The mercantile news from Turkey is very gloomy. Trade had suffered much by the apprehension among merchants of a war with Ezypt, especially since the battle of Nezib. The French Journals of Tuesday comment with much bitterness of tone and acerbity of feeling on the recent debate in the House of Lords on the subject of the vio lem e offered by the French Authorities to the British gum traders at Portendic. We may observe that they might have spared themselves this waste of patriotic indignation, by attending more carefully to the language actually employed by Lord MELBOURNE on that occa sion. By misconceiving and mistranslating his Lord ship's speech, they have established a fanciful ground for as fanciful declamations about French independence, and not yielding to threats, with much more to the same effect. When we state that Lord 111ELBOURNE never made use of the offensive phrases attributed to him by bungling translators, we have said all that requires to be said on such a subject. The KING has appointed General BAUDRAND to pro ceed to Constantinople to congratulate the SULTAN on his accession to the Ottoman throne. The Constitu tionnel suggests that the mission of the General will be likely to accelerate the recal of Admiral RoUSSIN, who is judged incompetent to the functions which have de volved upon him by the complication of the Oriental question. The Eclaireur de la Mediteranee, a Toulon journal of the 16th, states :—" Letters from the Ministry of Marine announce that Admiral Duperre had definitively given in his resignation, and that he no longer signs the public documents." The Bourdeaux journals of the 18th contain numerous particulars of the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Orleans at that city. They publish the speeches addressed to the Prince, and his Royal Highness's answer. The reply to the speech of the Mayor has been received with enthusiasm. The Prince and Princess have given orders for a sum of 40,000 francs to be employed in redeeming from the Mont de Piete, the articles pledged there, which are the most necessary to the poor and, likewise for a distribution of bread to be made daily during their s!ay.—Constitutionnel.

We are again this morning without any arrivals of im portance, with the exception of the express from Paris, which conveys a confirmation that the negotiations for the settlement of the affairs of Turkey is left by the Porte to the Five Powers. Late yesterday afternoon it was ascertained that the subscription for the funding of the three million five hun dred thousand Exchequer bills was nearly accomplished by the timely assistance of some of our great capitalists. The firm of Messrs. Rothschild and Company subscribed for 500,0001. The banking firm of Coutt's also for 500,0001., and the Bank of Ireland also for the same amount. Taking these statements to be correct, a sum equal to 2,700,0001. out of the original contract offired by Government of 4,000,0001. has been subscribed for, this includes the 500,000/. taken by the Bank of England and the 700,0001. bid for on Monday; thus there remains still to be subscribed for 1,300,000/., which, according to the pre vailing opinion, will be subscribed in the course of this day or to-morrow, which will terminate this agitated financial affair. This morning we have again on the tapis the matrimonial alliance which is about to take place between her Majesty and his Serene Highness Prince Albert Francis, second son of the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg. He is expected shortly to arrive in this country. He is three months younger than her Majesty. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated last night in the House of Commons, that he could not at present give a satisfactory answer as to the success which had attended his plan for funding the remainder of the four millions of Exchequer Bills, but would do so this day. Consols opened this morning at the same quotations they closed at 9li i Money ; 9li i for the Account; with little doing as yet. The continuance of the fine weather causes the Funds to continue firm at present. but they aro not expected to re main in that situation when the whole amount of the Exchequer Bills is subscribed for, as a quantity of that stock will be brought into the market. Exchequer Bills improved 20 to 22. In India Bonds nothing done ; Bank Stock 1841- 1853 ; India Stock, 2462 2472.

It is too early as yet to ascertain the amount of the sub scriptions at the Bank this morning for the remaining amount supposed to be 1,300,0001. ; perhaps late in the afternoon it may transpire. Although we have few arrivals this morning of con sequence, both the British and Foreign Markets have a lively appearance, and the speculators are in better spirits than for some days past. Spanish Active is the mania at present, and a good deal is doing in that Stock, owing to the prevailing opinion that the civil war in that country is drawing to a close. _... Consols have been in the early part of this morning 91i for the Accctrit, when a sale of fifty thousand took place, which caused them to recede to 914, since which they went up to 918, at present 911; Money, 91i; Exchequer Bills have been done at 23, at present lower, 20 prom. ; Bank Stock lower, 184 ; India Stock 246 k, also lower.

HAYMARKET TIIEATRE.—The Lady of Lyons drew a full house on Wednesday. Macready's Claude was of course the chief attraction. Miss H.

MARRIAGE OF HER MAJESTY. (From the Ms n'nq Post.) It is our d uty t hi s d ay to ma k e t o the British people an announcement which they will receive with intense interest, and we hope and believe with unanimous sa tisfaction. We have received from a correspondent re sident at the Court of Brussels, and enjoying the entire confidence of that Court, a communication which enables us to state, in the most distinct and positive terms, that a matrimonial alliance is about to take place between her Britanni c M a j es ty an d hi s S erene Hi g h ness th e Prince Albert Francis, second son of Ernest, the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Saalfield. The august Prince whom so high and so auspicious a r e tiny await, will shortly arrive in this country, ac companied by their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians. He will arrive, we believe we may ven ture to say, to depart no more. He will arrive, we ardently hope, to impart new lustre and security to the British Crown, and to constitute the domestic happi ness and sustain the social virtues of the Illustrious Lady by whom, in the ordination of a gracious Pro vidence, the British crown is long, we trust, to be worn. The Prince Albert Francis of Saxe Coburg was born on the 26th of August, 1819. He is, therefore, three months and two days younger than her Majesty. The father of this Prince, Ernest Duke of Saxe Coburg Saalfield, was born on the 2d of January, 1784 ; succeeded his father, Francis (the father also of the King of the Belgians), on the 9th of December, 1806 ; and married, first, Louisa, daughter of Augustus Duke of Saxe Go ha Altenburg, who died on the 30th of August, 1831. The issue of this marriage was the Prince Ernest Augustus, now, together with his illustri ous father, on a visit to the British Court, who was born on the 21st of June, 1818, and the Prince Albert Francis, the distinguished object of this notice, who was born, as above stated, on the 26th of August, in the following year. The Duke of Saxe Coburg Saalfield, the father of Prince Albert, contracted a second marriage on the 23d of December, 1832, with the Princess Maria of Wur tcmberg, who was born on the 17th of December, 1792. We understand that her Majesty will not be present at the prorogation of Parliament ; from which we infer the probability that the Queen's Speech may contain some allusion to the nuptial contract we have felt our selves authorised to announce. Be this, however, as it may, we venture confidently to predict that this interesting and important subject will be brought under the notice of the British Parlia ment early in the next Session, and to intimate the pro bability that the next Session of the British Parliament will be accelerated for the purpose of its consideration. It is gratifying to be enabled to state that the youth ful Prince who is about to acquire so strong a claim to the respect and affection of the British people is ac knowledged by all to whom he is personally known to possess the graces of person and manner, as well as the more valuable and lasting qualities of intellect and dispo sition which are calculated to render the respect and affection of a virtuous and intelligent people an easy and a natural tribute. We cannot conclude this announcement without breathing a prayer, in which the whole British nation will fervently unite, that the Royal union which is about to take place may be productive of happiness to our beloved Sovereign, of augmented dignity and security to her throne, and of honour and advantage to her people. The Earl of Itosslyn continues his select dinner parties in Grosvenor-place for a few days longer, and then proceeds to Melton Mowbray. The Earl and Countess of Duck, Lady Cathe rine Moreton, and the Hon. Percy Moreton left Park-lane on the preceding week for Brighton. Lady Emily is gone on a visit to Lady Charlotte Berkeley, at her villa near Maidenhead. Lord Brougham leav e s t o wn on Wednesday next to dine with the Duke of Wellington and the Corpo ration at Dover. The humane opposers of the abominable slave trade are, perhaps, ignorant of the fact that in the year 1,000, children were first forbidden to be sold by English parents. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty, accompanied by their Serene Highnesses the Duke Ferdinand and Prince Augustus of Saxe Cobourg, and Count Alexander Mensdorf, rode out on horseback yes terday afternoon. The Royal Suite included Baroness Lehzen, Miss Quentin, Lord Lilford, Col. Buckley, and the Hon. C. A. Murray. The Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Princess Vic toire and Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg, took an airing yesterday in au open carriage and four.

It was attended by Viscount Melbourne, the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Duncannon, Lord John Russell, Viscount Pal merston, Marquis of Normanby, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl of Minto, Sir John Hobhouse, Lord Hol land, Mr. Poulett Thomson, Viscount Howick, and Lord Morpeth. The Council sat two hours. . _ Air. G. Lewis had an interview with Lord John Russell yesterday, at the Home Office.

MY BROTHER. (From a New York Paper.) I was born away down at Bangor, Where tradin' is well understood, Where pumpkins are raised along shore, And nutmegs are grown in the wood. My brother was fixed at Castine, In the pork manufacturin' line, For he had a patent machine To make bacon hams out of pine. The tarnal concern did it slick, And %would make other notions with ease, You put in a thundering stick, Out tumbled a white oaken cheese. Not awarticle there was abused, For he so saving, 'twas said, The sawdust was all of it used To make the dyspepscry bread. He'd a mill, too, that worked as expert ily steam—'twas a curious caper ! You put in an old cotton shirt, And it came out a handful of paper. And when speculation was rife, My brother, who that understands, Manufactured—its true, on my life— Manufactured and sold Eastern lands. But then, Sir, the climax to cap, The buyers of these made a stir ; Though acres they bought on the map, They couldn't find out where they were. They talked about going to law—. Then what could my poor brother do? By way of confounding their jaw, He failed, and he's rich as; a Jew. AN OLD RECOLLECTION " By next Session he hoped that the Right Hon. Gen tleman, Mr. Spring Rice, would be Rave in the snug haven to which it was said he was to go, and that he would not again have to sp ea k o f hi m , exce pt as an old recolier tion."—Vide Mr. O'Connell's speech in the Commons on Tuesday night. Well said, Dan ! Without a trope I cry " Ditto" to thy hope ; But, no doubt, you'll feel with me, That far better it would be, Were the Tories in a trice, Like thy muzzled pet, Spring Rice, To become—the whole vile section— Nought but an old recollection ! Long they've been a nation's curse, Growing yearly worse and worse, Draining, 'till 'cis nearly dry, John Bull's golden treasury, Seaming his broad brow with scars, Gained in reckless foreign wars, And building—for full well they know Johnny's wits are somewhat slow— Churches for his soul's salvation, Jails for his accommodation, And barracks just to keep him quiet, And warn him that, in case of riot, There lives a fierce despotic crew Who'll cut his throat at Peterloo ! Well for John Bull 'twould be, Dan, Were this tyrant Tory clan, With all their multiplied connections, To become—mere recollections ! Like those grim old giants who, If our nursery tales be true, Beat and plundered honest men, On the King's highway, and then Dragged them to their Castle hall, And ate them wholesale, bones and all I Drink then, Daniel, drink with me This toast I give right heartily— " May the Tory locust tribe, " Extinct their power to dupe or bribe, " Soon become—the whole vile section— " Nought but an old recollection !" - = - CORN AVERAGES.

THE ANGLESEY FAMILY.—The Marquis ar rived at Uxbridge House yesterday afternoon, having left his yacht at Gravesend on the preceding night. His Lord ship came direct from St. Petersburg"), having left there the Lords Alfred, Clarence, and George Paget. They were to quit the Russian capital on the following day for Moscow, in the vicinity of which the Emperor intended to have a series of grand reviews. The Marchioness of Anglesey is at Aix, in Savoy, attended by Lady Adelaide Paget, and has been much benefited by the waters of that celebrated spa. The Gallant Marquis was not ex pected in town before the end of September. The Earl of Uxbridge, on hearing of his father's arrival came up from Windsor. The Marquis and the greater part of the household will leave town for Beau Desert this day or to-morrow. The Duke of Beaufort, Sir F. Bathurst, and several noblemen and gentlemen who originally intended to have taken part in the approaching fete at Eglinton Castle, will be absent. Mr. Campbell continues indis posed, and it is very probable he will not be' sufficiently recovered by the 28th to join his brother knights. VAUXHALL.—The second masquerade took place at these gardens on Wednesday. The characters were of that description which are usually to be seen at such places. There were Greeks, Turks, Jim Crows, Broom Girls, &c. Of course at the approach of the tournament there was a knight in brass armour. The affair went off sell. OBSTRUCTING THE QUEEN IN HYDE PARK. —Mr. Haywood was again brought up to Bow-street on Tuesday, when it appeared that his conduct on several occasions led to the conclusion that he required to be taken care of. Co:. Clithero produced the following passage from a letter addressed by the prisoner to him : " Do you think her Majesty would have any objetqion to bestow her hand on one of her subjects, who would pledge himself to maintain the Protestant religion in Ireland, which at this period requires some person vested with kingly, and possessing a s t rong an d v i gorous m i n d to defend, under circumstances similar to those which occurred in the reign of William and Mary, in 1688, rs , en the Pro estai.t region was established in England," &c. POWER OF CORONERS.—At an inquest which took place on Tuesday at Kensington, before Mr. Wakley, M. P. Mr. Bell (the coroner's clerk) in allusion to the disputed point as to the relative powers of Magistrates and Coroners, said a case occurred during the lifetime of Mr. Stirling, the late Coroner for Middlesex, in which, on a prisoner, against whom a verdict of wilful murder had peen returned by the jury, being brought before one of the stipendiary Magistrates of the metropolis, that gentle man on being shown the Coroner's warrant treated it with contempt, and even went so far as to tear it into pieces. Mr. Wakley said had he been Coroner at the time he would have committed the party so acting to Newgate for contempt of the Coroner's Court, and he felt confident the individual so acting would not long afterwards have retained his appointment as a Magistrate. AFFAIRS OF HONOUR ADJUSTED BY PROXY. —An officer, an Irish one, we presume, advertises in the Manning Chronicle that he " will be happy to axe cute and adjust personal affairs for a gentleman of a rank not inferior to his own." His address is very appro priately at a gun-makers.' DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CHEAPSIDE.—Tues day night, about a quarter-past nine, a very disastrous and destructive fire occurred in Cheapside. The alarm was given by two of the City police of the names of Coombes and Denby, whose attention was attracted by a body of smoke issuing from the front windows of the spa cious and lofty premises of Mr. Jennings, hatter, No. 72, on the south side, two doors from the corner of Queen street, and facing the Mercers' Hall. Although the fire brigade station in Watling-street is not more than 100 yards from the spot, such was the avidity of the conflagra tion that before the engines arrived, and could be got to work, it burst forth from every window of the premises, and the interior appeared in one blaze. Great excitement ensued in the city, and vast crowds were attracted to the spot by the reflection in the air from the flames, which raged with all possible violence for upwards of two hours, and was not extinguished till near twelve o'clock. The premises of Mr. Jennings are wholly destroyed ; unfortu nately for him, he only took possession of them last week, and had not insured his stock. The adjoining premises, No. 73, belonging to Mr. Tegg, bookseller (formerly the ald Mansion-house), has sustained serious injury by fire ,ind water. Th e p ro p er ty i s a mply insured. le houses i Nos. 70, 71, an d 74, h a ve also sustained I njury, but to what extent could not be ascertained. The sacrifice of property is estimated at least at 5,0001.

There never was a moment when the impediments to the free flow of capital into this country were more urgently re quired to be removed than the present ; and yet see the mountain upon mountain which Spring Rice would raise still higher between the two countries. Even Bank of England notes arc to be no longer ready money at this side of the Channel. They talk of a union, but are they not the clumsiest Repealers who impede the circulation of English capital in Ireland ?

The statement that the 11th Light Dragoons will re main two years longer at Canterbury is not correct. The regiment is now perfectly efficient, and will relieve the 12th Lancers at Brighton on Lord Cardigan's return from shooting excursion. The depot of the 90th Regiment have marched from Chatham to Dover. This depot consisted of very young recruits, about 300 strong. The 48th depot, Limerick, received the route on 1 1'hur s " day, and marched on Friday for Templemore, under G. Young. The sudden departure of the 48th is attributail to the typhus fever breaking out among the men, severs +' of whom are in hospital. The third division (three officers and 67 men, with IL proportion of horses) of the Bth Hussars embarked at Dua dalk on the 16th instant, on board the Glasgow steani" - vessel, and sailed for Liverpool. The depot companies of the 75th, under the commend of Major Halifax, embarked on Monday on board her Ma' jesty's ship Apollo, in Kingstown harbour, and the depot companies of the 53d, commanded by Major Hill, left Naas the same day, to embark on Tuesday on board the Apollo, for Plymouth. The depot companies of the 38th, under command of Major Campbell, arrived at Dundalk on the 16th, from Newry. The depot companies of the 47th, commanded by Major Dundas, disembarked on the 15th at Kingstown, from ber Majesty's troop ship Apollo, arrived from Jersey, and pro- - ceeded on the 16th and 17th en route to Belturbet, Counti Cavan. ROYAL HORSE ARTILLERY.—The troop commanded by the late Major Saunders (consisting of one Captain, tw ° _, Lieutenants, 41 men, 41 horses, and two guns) embarke d at Dublin, Aug. 16, for Liverpool, en route to Woolwich. The Hon. W. Arbuthnot's troop, which will embark at Liverpool, Sept. 4, for Dublin, consists of two Captains, one Lieutenant, 67 men, 36 horses, two guns, and forge. A detachment, consisting of one Lieutenant and 26 men, will embark at Dublin, Aug. 21, en route to Woolwich. Captain Sandilands is appointed to the troop vacant by the decease of Major Saunders. The Revenge, 78, Captain the Hon W. Waldegrave, arrived in Cork on Thursday, from' Portsmouth, with three companies of the 84th regiment 01 1 board, which disembarked at Cove by ,the Lee steamer. They marched hence for Kilkenny to join head-quarters. MONEY MARKET.-WEDNESDAY. our leading capitalists than usua l at an d a b out the Stock There was this morning a. more n umerous atten d ance of Exchange. Few of thos e w h o are i n t h e ha b it of partici pating in the great financial operation; o f th e d a y w ere, in fact, absent. It was n at ura ll y i n f erre d , f rom t h is circum stance, that the int e nti on o f act i ng upon M r . Spring Rice's proposition for the con v ers i on o f hi s f our millions of Exchequer bills was becoming pretty general among them, and such turns out to have been the case. The Bank of England people continue to observe the strictOt secrecy upon the subject. but it is wel l known Oat several fresh tenders of bills were put In i n the ot ;rse of the afternoon. We are unable to furnish a cori'qct list of the names and the sums ap plicable to each, but it is understood that, independently of the amount (500,900/.) contracted for by the Bank of England, Messrs. N. M. _Rothschild and Sons have be' come competitors for the s:oPly of 500,0001. a t the Chancellor's price, Messrs. Coutts end Co. for 500,00 04, and the Bank of Ireland for 600,00tii. These sums , added to the 600,000/. or 700,0001. tendered yesterday and the day before, make an aggregate of 2,600,0001. or 2,700,0001., and there would appear, therefore, to be but about a million and a quarter more wanted to complete the arrangement. It is said, indeed, that there is " more than 600,0001. or 700,0001. left ; and some per gags are of opinion that Mr. Rice may possibly be enabled, in his place in Parliament this evening, to announce the go" tire conclusion of the operation. We wish it may be 509 for that a petty business of this nature should continue so suspense for a lengthened period is unusual, and certainly not quite creditable to the financiers of the country. The particulars afrarded us are, however, by no means to be de pended upon as accurate. They may, for ought we know to the contrary, be exceedingly wide of the truth, and if they do prove erroneous, the error will, we dare say, be found to be on the wrong side. The amount of bills sup posed to have been tendered is in all probability exagge rated. Yet, from what we have stated, it will be seen that there can now be no longer the least apprehension as to the full accomplishment of the Government scheme between this and Friday evening next.—Morning Post. CAUTION TO PERSONS DRINK- ING SODA WATER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—The public are not aware that there is not one bottle in a hundred which is sold for soda water that con tains one grain of that valuable alkali, but is merely spring water impregnated with fi xe d a i r . Th e reason o f t h e so da not being put into the wate r i s no t on account o f t h e va lue iof the soda itself, but of th e expense o f proper l y manu face turing it. or instance, if fifte en gra i ns o f t h e carbonat of soda be putinto each bottle, it will require ten times the labour and power of machinery, and consequent ly that additional cost, to make pure soda water, to that which 15 required to make this cheap, useless, and spurious art.'cl e • There are th ousan d s of persons who drink soda water da-' l 4 by the express directions of the faculty, for the purpose Pl correcting the acidity and other bilious affections of the stomach and bowels, the alkali of the soda being intended to neutralise the excess of acidity. To such ill' dividuals it must be evident that if there is no soda , in the water they purchase by that name, they cannot derive any benefit from it. I have, therefore, felt it my duty to put the public on their guard from being thus deceived, and at the same time show they may ascertain for themselves as to whether there is soda or no t in the water they purchase by that name. The test is very simple and attended with no trouble, viz., Pour a bottle of water into a tumbler ; stir it about with a teaspoon for three or four minutes, when nearly all the fixed air will be libe. rated; then take as much tar . taric acid, in powder, as wi!l half fill a ter spoon , and drop itinto the wate r ; if there i° soda in the water the tartaric acid will immediately act upon the soda, and, in neutralizing ihe alkali produce a very powerful effervescence ; if, on the contrary, it does not effervesce, you may be assured there is no soda i n the water. Every bottle of Webli's double soda- wa t er is warranted to contain fifteen grains of the pure carbonate of soda. I am, Sir, yours most respectfully, Colebrooke Cottage, Islington. JOHN WEBB.
