The Moniker of Friday publishes the following dis patches from Marshal Bugeaud, detailing his opera tions against the combined Arab and Moorish armies, and confirming his return to the entrenched camp of lla Magrena : " Oued Bon Eirda (to the south of Maghrnia), July 15, 1844. " Monsieur le Marechal,—l left Lelia Maghrnia on the 7th. and was encamped on the Isly, at about a league above its embouchure in the Mouilah. We hare no certain infor mation as to the true situation of the Morocco camp ; but the Arabs, who march with us, believe it to be at Djerf el Akhe ear, en the Isly, at about four leagues from 'my camp of the 7th. "I left at the rise of the moon (about half-past eleven at Wight), forming on the plain an arch of a circle, in order to avoid the guards, who were apparently watching the direct toads. My march was performed with order, silence, and fa cility. At break of day I came on Djerf el Akhedar; but the camp was no longer there. After the combats of the 3d it had re-ascended the Isly, and gone to Condiat Sidi Abder rahman, at three leagues further on. Having pushed forward with my infantry in light marching order and the cavalry, I Perceived the Morocco men in retreat at the bottom of the Plain, on the road to Fez, at a distance of about five leagues. " On their right and left numerous inhabitants and large flocks were seen in all haste endeavouring to gain the moun tains. My cavalry were too weak to be sent on alone against such a multitude, and my infantry were too fatigued to sup- Port them ; I, therefore, returned to Djerf el Akhedar, where I had left my provisions and the baggage of the infantry lender the care of two battalions. On the 9th I ascended the Isly for about five leagues, and encamped on the spot Where Abd-(1-Kader had stopped for about two months. " My object in this advance was to derange his plans, to force his deyra into Morocco, to favour the return of the erni pant tribes who appear to be very yweary of the life they lead ; and, in fine, to consume or destroy the grain sown by ?thd-el-baler and his followers, as well as the silos which, it 1 8 said, he has collected in the valley of Guemfonda. " Before reaching this valley, we fell in with the scouts of Abd el-Kader. They entered into conversation with our spahis, and Colonel Jussuf himself advanced to enter into conversation with their chief, These people manifested an i nclination to desert, and, In fact, an officer, chief of a hun tired men, came over to us. All of them promisel to return during the night with seine of their comrades. " In the evening, at the entrance of the valley, the cavalry cf Abd-el-Kader re. appeared, sad come spahis to enter into conversation with them. " The Arab officer who htal deserted, and the two chief of the Beni Amer who had abandoned the camp of the Emir in the merning, informed us that the deyra, which was on the Oiled Zekera, had advanced further into Morocco, and was, it was thought, encamped at Aiown Sidi Melionk, near the camp of the Morocco men. '" On the morning of the 11th I penetrated into the moun tains towards the south. I knew that the number of our emigrant tribes lied gone in that direction, and would natu- VIY hav e stopped near the fountain Razelain These fountains are a b ou t twelve or thirteen to the westward of Ouchda.

The enemy did not follow; they felt maks . , at havin g esc a p e & U nfortunate-Iy, the county we had no previous acquaintance with t h e f _and no guide that could be relied on ; therefore our ear of want of water during the extreme heat prevented en marching forwards in the track of this emigration.

This i e pert, tleeugh uncertain, contributed to determine me to march rearwar d, no t being willing to risk losing the Principal for the accessory.

This th e :conflict ought to give our enemies a very high idea of lind eale ar of our chasseurs.

The King of the French, on Thursday, received at Neuilly M. Hazard, Mayor of Limoges; M. Fourner, Counsellor of the Cour Royale, and Member of the Municipal Council; and M. Arblant, Member of the Consultative Chamber of Manufactures of Limoges, from which town they were dele gatas, on the subject of the railroad from Vierzon to Limoges by Chateauroux, lately passed. His Majesty conversed with them for some time on the state of the central departments, and the benefit they would derive from this new means of communication. The following is the current rumour respecting the King's visit to the Queen of England :—The King and Royal Family will leave Neuilly for the Chateau of Bizzy, imme diately after the close of the session. They will go from thence to the Chateau d'Eu, where they will arrive about the middle of August. His Majesty will remain at the Chateau d'Eu till the 12th or 15th of September, when he will embark from Treport for Portsmouth, accompanied by three ships of the line, and three steamers. From Ports mouth he will proceed by railway Tor Windsor Castle. The heat at Paris is very oppressive. On Friday the thermometer stood at 89 deg. A letter from St. Omer announces that his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours left that place on the 24th for Metz, after reviewing the troops of the garrison. During the re view, an accident occurred to two cuirassiers from the falling of their horses. The Prince immediately went to the spot, and ordered that the greatest attention should be paid to them ; the injuries they received were not, however, very severe. St. Omer was illuminated on the occasion of the visit of the Royal Duke, which occasioned great enthusiasm. The Moniteur confirms the report already mentioned, that after the official closing of the session, the Minister of Com merce will submit to the approbation of the King several or donnances for the modification of the tariff of customs, and adds, that they will be in conformity with the recommenda tions of the committees of the Chamber of Deputies, which have not been discussed in the Chamber from want of time. Saturday being the first of the fats of the three days of July, a funeral service to the memory of the victims of the revolution was celebrated in several of the churches of Paris. The great illuminations were to take place on Monday. We find the following in the Augsburg Gazette of the 23d " Letters from Bologna announce that tranquillity is restored in that city, and also in the legations. There have not been any other condemnations. The court-martial has condemned to death a man named Gardenoz, for having, in December last, killed a custom-house officer at one of the gates of Bo logna. He was shot on the 26th inst." The Gazette des Tribunaux states on the authority of a letter from Berlin, that the Prussian Government has come to a resolution to abolish imprisonment for debt in all cases. The Hanover Gazette of the 17th inst. announces that the King has been indisposed, but not so much so as to prevent him from transacting business. We learn from Prague that on the 16th inst. notices were posted up in the city that, as tranquillity was completely restored, the ordonnance directing all public-houses to be closed at nine o'clock was no longer in force, and that they might, as before, be kept open till 12. C OUIVX*-7.•Lt5H10NA.33143. The Earl and Countess of Jersey gave an entertainment on Saturday evening to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, at their mansion in Berkeley. square. A select circle were invited to meet the illustrious Duchess at dinner, and in the evening about one hundred distinguished mem bers of the aristocracy assembled. The Duke of Wellington is expected to leave Apsley House, this afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle. His Grace will return to town on Wednesday. The Russian Admiral,Poortakin, of the Aurora frigate, now lying off Gravesend, and his principal officers, visited his Grace yesterday afternoon, at Apsley House, when they were conducted over the whole of the interior of that mag nificent mansion. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, leave Beaufort House to day for Goodwood-park, where they will remain as guests of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond during the races this week.

As upon the occasion of the marriage of Lady Evelyn and Lord Blantyre, in the latter part of last year, great rejoicings will take place in celebration of the event. The tenantry will be regaled, and the poor on the Noble Duke's estate feasted on the follow ing day. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster arrived in town on Saturday, from Woodstock, where they have been staying during the last few days on a visit to the Viscount and Viscountess Parker. The Noble Marquis is enjoying an excellent state of health, and appears much better than he was at this period last year. His Lordship has recently sent the whole of his stud, including two Derby colts, fur next year, to John Day's stables at Stockbridge. The Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, with their youthful family, have left town for the season, and are at present staying at the Priory, near Stanmore.

On Wednesday last the Duke of Devonshire arrived in Liverpool, and proceeded by the steamer of the same evening to Dublin, for the purpose of visiting his extensive estates in the south of Ireland. TZSOELLANBOUB. Lord Heytesbury arrived in Dublin on Friday. A great concourse of people turned out on the occasion and received his Excellency well, though they showed their dislike to the Recorder, who accompanied him in the same carriage. Our reports from all parts of the country, says the Dublin Post, are in the highest degree satisfactory. The harvest will be about a fortnight earlier than the average of years. Reaping of wheat, oats, and barley, has already commenced in some few places, and next month it will be very general. Mr. Master, M.P. for Cirencester, has accepted the chil teri hundreds, and Lord Villiers, son-in-law to Sir Robert Peel, has declared himself a candidate for the borough. On Saturday, at the weekly meeting of the Committee of Aldermen, the members of the Navigation Committee and the Watermen's Company attended, and presented, in compliance with a recommendation from the Lord Mayor, a copy of by-laws and rules for the future regulation of the numerous steam-boats on the river. The alte rations proposed by these rules are, that in future no steam-boat is to carry • beyond a certain number of pas sengers, according to its tonnage, and that proper persons are to be appointed to see that the regulation is not violated ; and also that no boat is to be permitted to go beyond a certain rate of speed, and the places of embarkation are to be upon a secure and uniform footing. On Saturday, at the Brentford Petty Sessions, Charles Druce and Henry Hunt, two respectable-looking young men, residing In Old Brentford, were charged with having set fire, on Wednesday night, to a hayrick, containing thirty-six loads, valued at upwards of 200 L, which was wholly destroyed, while other property was seriously damaged. The prisoners were fully committed to take their trial at the next sitting of the Central Criminal Court. The lessee of the Haymarket gives the use of his theatre for a benefit on Thursday, the Bth of August, in aid of the funds of the British Society of Dancers. Several of the prin cipal performers of the company at the Princess's Theatre have consented to appear on the occasion. On Sunday, after the performance of divine service in the morning, the following notice was affixed on the doors of St. Paul's Cathedral :—" Notice.—There will be no service in this cathedral during the repairs and cleaning. Due notice will be given of its recommencement.—St. Paul's Cathedral, July 28, 1844." It is full time. The concert for the benefit of the wife and children of Mr. Hudson, the celebrated comic song writer and singer, is to take place on Wednesday, the 31st instant, at the Princess's Theatre. The high patronage under which the performance is announced will at once satisfy those who know nothing of the deceased, that he possessed claims of no ordinary kind to secure for his memory so great a distinction. Titt4 FLOATING PIER.—The neighbourhood of Essex-street and Milford-lane, Strand, near the water-side, has been the scene of great noise and confusion during the last two days, owing to the erection of a rival floating-pier alocgside the old one at the bottom of Essex• street, and the attempt of legang of hired men to destroy the old floating- Sier belonging to Mr. Francis, which is moored in front of the hip public-house, his property, and where passengers have landed and embarked for the last four years. By the side of the Ship is a passage leading from the steps at the end of Essex-street to the water-side, and the common sewer beneath it, and flows along an open culvert, or brick drain. to low water- mark. Over this culvert a floating pier has been moored at the expense of the old Greenwich and Wool wich steamboat companies, without the sanction of the City authorities or the Commissioners of Sewers, in whom the preperty is vested. The owners of this pier, determined to effect by violence what they could not obtain by other means, in the first instance broke down a gate at the end of the passage on the edge of the river, and placed a gangway board communicating with the inner barge of the pier upon it. No sooner was the pier opened, a few days ago, than several blackguards were employed as touters and to insult and annoy passengers landing and embarking at the old pier, where the Watermen's steamers and the wooden steamboats call. Among them are some of the watermen who formerly plied at the Temple-stairs, for whose benefit it has been given out the pier has been erected. These fellows, emboldened by the supineness of the City authorities, declared they would drag away the old pier, and destroy it altogether. On Friday morning a gang of fifty ruffians front Execution-dock, Wap ping, the atone pier at Greenwich, and other places,assembled as early as threc o'clock, and began cutting away the sup • ports of the old pia, and swore with dreadful imprecations they would murder any one who interrupted them. Two watermete named Maynard and Hill, in the employ of Mr. Francis, who endeavoured to protect their master's pro perty, were knocker] down and severely ill-used. The police were sent for, and eight men of the F division came to the spot, and found a portion of the rioters engaged in the work of destruction, and the others fighting with Mr. Francis's servants, Crow-bars, boat-hooks, hammers, and other wea pons, ware userl by the ruffians, who swore they would an nihilate the police if they attempted to interfere. The noise and the shouts of the rietere at so early an hour alarmed the inhabitants, who rose from their beds and went to the spot to ascertain the cause. In the 166.311 time the crews of ee Police galleys landed, and the ruffians de sesisvteettra.l T b u t b rt before they had caused damage to the amount of 1001., and tore away the gangway board or brow on the old pier and thrown it into the river. Maynard was covered with bruises, and Hill was terribly knocked about. One of the assailants, a fellow named Ash, of Wapping, received which expected w as lie n - fl a e b t l e e r b n y ethe eyeof hi f s en ro rn m pan a i s e h n ar s, p an in d st i r t um is et n it et w will recover the sight cf it.

On Saturday the touting and poric t e il i:l7r n ed ge h r, brawling was going on, and some of the greatest blackguards on the river were dragging the people about, shouting in their ears, and doing all in their power to prevent them going on the old pier to embark in the Watermen's steamers.

UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. We have received this evening New York papers to the 6th inst., being six days later than before, brought by the .New York packet ship Patrick Henry, Captain . Delano, which vessel being detained off Holyhead by light winds, sent up her letter-bags and passengers by the Irish mail-boat, which boarded her. . The news does not possess any feature of im portance. The 4th of July being the 68th anniver sary of the declaration of American Independence, was celebrated with great rejoicing and self-glorifica tion throughout the cities of the Union. In New York, the proceedings of the day were marred by the accidental burning of the Washington Hall, one of the finest hotels in the lity, and which was tota:ly consumed, at a loss of 40,000 dollars, of which about two-thirds was insured. A few other casualties oc curred, but, altogether, the day passed off very joyously. Very great floods again prevailed upon the Missis sippi and its tributary streams, caused by the inces sant rain which had prevailed from the 17th to the 24th of June; much damage had been done to growing crops, as well as to warehoused goods and produce ; and in some instances lives had been lost. In St. Louis great distress prevailed amongst those who were rendered houseless by the calamity. The Mormon Prophet, Smith, had fled from Nauvoo to lowa, and peace was therefore likely now to prevail. The Britannia arrived at Boston on the 3d, and the news by her was received at New, York early on the 4th. It was looked upon very favourably, and had the effect of advancing the price of stocki, as well as to cause the cotton market to rally. There had been little done in foreign exchanges since the sailing of the steamer, and the rates continued to be quoted as before. We give the following outline of the celebration of the sixty eighth anniversary of Independence, from the New York Sun : The anniversary of our nation's . independence was yesterday celebrated with more than usual demon strations of joy and festivity. For many years we have not seen so large a concourse of citizens and strangers, and never was greater cheerfulness or better order maintained. The day was beautiful. A cloudless sky and a fresh breeze from the north-west added much to the happiness of the people. The little boys, as is their custom, opened the pre lude on the preceding evening by the firing of pistols, crackers, &c., which, with a short intermission, con tinued throughout the night and following day. The earliest riser woke amid a general volley of these small fire-works, and at sunrise was added the music of a grand national salute fired from the battery, the forts, and the vessels of war in the harbour, and the joy-bells which were rung throughout the city. Between seven and eight o'clock, the various military companies, and the Civic and Trade Societies began to meet at their respective head-quarters, and to form in procession. The military formed on the battery, and between nine and ten were reviewed by the Go vernor, accompanied by his staff. The Civic and Trade processions formed in Blea;ker-street, and marched down Hudson- street,through Chambers-street to Broadway, where it was met by the military from the battery. The whole procession, with the military in front, at twelve o'clock, passed in at the east gate of the Park, and passed in front of the City-hall in re view before the Governor and his staff, who were ac companied by Major-Generals Stryker, Pentz, and Kierstedt, and other officers, and the Mayor and Com- - mon Council. Major Popham, who had just been elected President of the Order of Cincinatti, in place of Major-General Lewis, deceased, and several other members of this Order were present. This company' stood on the State-house steps ; the Mayor and the Governor together, with heads un covered With the exception of the Governor and his Staff, they had been in waiting in the Mayor's room, which was, during the whole morning, crowded with distinguished citizens and strangers. The Governor's room —the Mayor's room—the balcony, and other parts of the City Hall were crowded with ladies and gentlemen. The park and streets adjacent were crowded with human beings. The trough bowl of Croton-Ice-Punch—the park fountain —was, during the day, surrounded with visitors of both sexes, who repaired thither to slake their thirst. The inmates of the city hospital—those who were able— were out on the grass-plat in front of the building to watch the procession. Flags waved from the city hall, old Tammany, the public houses, and places of amusement ; yet all was quiet and orderly—not a a booth in the park, nor any scene of disorder or drunkenness. Thanks to the glorious Washing tonian Reformation! and the great Croton Punch Bowl ! At about a quarter before eleven, while the im mense concourse in and around the City-hall were waiting for, the procession, which did not come up until twelve, a fire broke out in lashington Hall, at the corner of Reade-street and Broadway, but a few rods from the Park. The ringing of the alarm bells, ascending volumes of smoke, the masses rushing to and fro, the windows and the roofs of the adjoining buildings filled with excited and eager spectators, formed a scene of terrible sublimity. The fire, it is supposed, originated from one of the chimneys in the south-east corner of the building, and near the roof. For nearly an hour, with the exception of that corner only smoke was s een t o ascen d f rom t h e roo f , an d t h e opinion generally expressed was doubtless correct, that by the seasonable aid of three or four good engines the building all but the roof might have been saved: But it was half-an-hour before the engines came, and the whole service performed did not exceed what two or dinary engines might accomplish. Added to this, the frequent bursting of the hose, and the delay in getting water, for they had to go to a distance for hydrants ; the one in front of the Hall for some cause or other not having been opened. Had it not been for the slate tiles of the houses on Chambers-street, the entire block to Centre-street would probably have been destroyed. The fire continued for upwards of two hours, and has left nothing but the bare walls standing. Washington -hall had just heen thoroughly repaired and re-decorated throughout, and had the most elegant and commodious assembly or concert room in the city. The damage to the Hall is not less than twenty thousand dollars, At twelve o'clock the Governor and his suite arrived at the Mayor's room from the company, and pro ceeded to review the military and civic procession in front of the City-hall. The military consisted of the three brigades of artillery, with the independent com panies attached to them belonging to this city, under the respective commands of Brigadier-General Storms, Colonel Vermilye, and Colonel T. F.' Peers. It would perhaps be deemed invidious to select any one company for praise, as all made a fine appear ance; but we cannot forbear to notice the Italian Guards and their pioneers. The Jefferson Guards, the Lancers, the State Fencibles, forming the Go vernor s Guards ; the Washington Greys, and the National Guard — a ll are deserving of commenda i sle ' notice. When the latter company, under Colonel Vermilye, passed by Colonel Jones, the High Sheriff, formerly Colonel of this regiment, could not with hold his approbation at their exact and well dis ciplined military step. " The boys step well," said he. From the review in the Park the Civic and Trade Societies proceeded to Tammany-hall, where the De claration of Independence was read by Christian Hen shaw, and a glowing and - beautiful oration was pro nounced by William Wallace, Esq., who was raptu rously applauded throughout the delivery. His theme was the scenes of our revolution, the leaders in it, and the cause in which they were engaged. From General Sanford's the Governor and suite proceeded to the Tabernacle, where the day was cele brated in a beautiful manner by the Independence Guards. The company received the Governor stand ing, the band playing " Hail Columbia." General Mather presided. James T. Brady, Esq., delivered the oration. The religious exercises were read by the Rev. Mr, Giessenheimer. Col. Hillyer read the Declaration of Independence. went out well fill e d w i t h l a di es and gentlemen, the various excurs i ons. Th e beau tiful The steamboats and railroads (and their numb er o fields of Hoboken were visited by th o u san d s , was a l l egion), g io n n and the olympic exercises of the celebrated Otto Motty, were witnessed with great delight by a vast assemblage. In the evening the city presented a more lively appearance. All the omnibuses were crowded and dashing through the streets at a swift rate, some taking passengers to the Museums, to Castle Gar den, to witness the exhibition of fireworks given at that place; others going to Niblo's, to Washington Parade Ground, to Tompkin's-square, and to the Park, at all of which were splendid exhibitions of fireworks, the three latter at the public expense. Several accidents occurred from the bursting of pistols. A man, early in the morning, had his left hand much injured 0 .ving to placing it over the muzzle while he attempted to cock it. A fine boy, named James Cassidy, sixteen years of age, had his left hand nearly blown to pieces in Cherry-street in the same way. He went home to dinner, when he prevailed upon some person in the neighbourhood to lend him a pistol; soon afterwards he met with the ac cident. He was carried to the hospital. One of bis fingers was blown,entirely off and fell into the street. A lad named Thomas Weaklain, thirteen years of age, also had his left hand shattered in a similar manner, attempting to cock a pistol in the park. I.llobltY MARKET.

"I write this letter in the house of Nayeb Samet Khan, the chief of the artillery and the arsenal of his Majesty the King of Bokhara, a sincere and excellent friend of the British nation, but in the presence also of his Majesty, the Ameers, Mahrarn (private cham berlain), and I write this letter officially by order of the King of Bokhara, to whom I give a translation, and therefore confine myself only to the most neces sary topics, without comment and without observation. " On the 29th of April the King stated to me by medium of the above-named Nayeb, and in the pre senee of Mullah Kharsem, the King's Mahram (private chamberlain), that he had put to death in the month of Sarratan, 1259 (July, 1842), Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly. The first had been put to death—firstly, on account of his having treated royalty with the greatest disrespect on different occa sions; secondly, that he had turned Mussulman, and then returned to the Christian faith ; thirdly, that he had promised to get letters from England in four months, by which he would be acknowledged as ambassador from England, and fourteen months had elapsed without any answer being received, though the King had erected japar khans (post-houses) on his account. And with regard to Conolly, that he had been put to death for having induced the Khans of Khiva and Kokan to wage war against the King of Bokhara, &c. " His Majesty has given me permission to leave Bokhara on the 9th May (Friday next). From Mesched I will write everything more fully, &c. (Signed) " JOSEPH WOLFF. " To Captain Grover." CHINA. The following brief account from a Correspondent relative to the new trade with China will be read with interest:— " Shanghae is a large city, the walls are about forty-five miles round, but like all Chinese places, is very dirty. It has every appearance of being a place of large trade ; the river which is a fine stream is full of junks, which are arriving and departing every day, and it possesses a great advantage from being so near Nankin and Soo-chow, the latter one of the largest commercial cities in the Empire, it is said. The people are very civil (the effects no doubt of the thrashing they have had), which contrasts strongly with the behaviour of the Canton men, and the autho rities have shown every disposition to meet the wishes of the Consul—at first they objected to him living in the city, wanting to keep that sacred as in Canton, but he insisted on it, and told them if they would not allow it he should go on board the steamer and return to Chusan. A good site has been appropriated for the European residents—it is about three-quarters of a mile from the city walls, bounded on each side by creeks with a frontage of about quarter to the river but without any boundary behind, so that buildings can be carried as far back as is necessary or con venient. The shipping will lay right in front of this place, and the Custom-house being there also, it will be convenient for business. The country all round is flat, in fact, there is not a hill in sight from Shanghae or Woosung, but I cannot see why it should be so unhealthy as is generally represented, for in the neighbourhood of the city it is principally dry wheat and cotton land. When we have comfortable houses to live in I hope we shall find it quite as healthy as Can ton, for the situation does not appear to me to be worse, if so bad. " Large quantities of cotton are exported from Shanghae principally, I believe, to the more southern provinces ; it has also a considerable trade with Japan, I am told. " I have also visited Ningpo, which is a much larger and handsomer city than Shanghae; it contains some of the best streets and finest shops I ever saw in China, but there is not that bustle arid appearance of trade that there is at Shanghae, although its traffic must be considerable; the river Tai-hae is not such a large stream as the Woosung, and although there are many junks moored between Chin-hae and Ningpo, the bulk of them appear to be of a smaller class than those I saw at Shanghae. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A SUSPECTED MURDER. —Some few weeks ago, as a man, assisted by his son, was digging turf in a lonely part of Longton Moss, near Preston, he discovered the remains of a human body under the following circumstances :—ln the course of his labours, he came to a spot of ground which had long been called the " grave," from the peculiar form and appearance of the grass growing over it being in the shape of a grave, and the sods upon it much more verdant than the surrounding vegetation. When he had put his spade down among the turf, and was working it about to loosen the mass of soil which he wished to dislodge, he encountered something that obstructed his operations, which he thought was an accumulation of matted sticks, frequently found in turbaries. It proved, however, to be hair, and a human skull which he had just thrown out was covered with long tresses. He then became aware that he had opened the resting-place of a fellow-creature, and in the breast of the earth which his labours had cleared the traces of a body were apparent. All was decomposed, except some of the larger bones ; but where the head and neck had lain the earth was of a different colour, as though it had been soaked with blood. The remains were most of them collected, and removed to a neighbouring house, where the hair was washed, and found to be of a very dark colour. The singularity of the occurrence caused 'no small talk in the district, and various were the surmises offered to account for it, in the course of which the fol lowing statement was gathered t which appears the most probable one, and which is submitted in hopes that it individual by perhaps, lead to a discovery of the by whom the crime has been perpetrated : About twenty-two years ago, during the summer months, a man and a woman, both of whom were strangers, were seen one Sunday on the Moss, in company together ; and, by their appearances and behaviour, attracted the attention of the country people, who thought they were " courting." The evening was calm, and at midnight a respectable inmate of Sod-hall, which was the nearest house to the spot, was awoke from her sleep, by loud and piercing shrieks at some distance. She opened the window to listen, and heard a woman screaming, in an agonised manner, " Spare my life ; do not murder me 1" All then was hushed, nor did she hear anything further. A few days afterwards a red shawl was found near the place, which was recognised as being the one worn by the woman who was seen on the previous Sunday, and some one remarked an appearance on the moss as though the sods had been removed. Some slight inquiry was made by the constable, but the place was unopened, nor was further notice taken of it until some years after, when the grass had grown so verdantly over it, and it was so singularly formed, as to acquire the name of" the grave !" and sods were frequently cut from it on account of their being better than any near it. The ground, when dug into, was still looser than the surrounding earth, as moss soil, when once disturbed, is a long time before it again becomes firmly bound toge• ther.—Preston Chronicle. ART-UmoNs BTLL.—Lord Monteagle's Bill, en titled "An Act for Legalizing Art-Unions," has beep brought down from the House of Lords, for the consideration of the lower branch -of the Legis lature. It enacts that all art-unions, and all mem bers, contributors, subscibers, and officers thereof, and persons acting for them, or on their be ,half, shall be discharged and freed from all suits and prosecutions, liabilities, pains, and penalties to which by law they might be liable, as being con cerned in lotteries, little goes, or unlawful games, for anything done, or which may be done by them herebefore, or before the Ist day of January next, touch , ing the purchase of any such or other works of art, or the sale or distribution thereof by chance or lot. Pro , vision is made by the second clause for the regular es tablishment and regulation of such associations by royal charter, to be granted on the appt.oval of the Board of 'Trade and PlantatiOns. / FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, JULY 25.—The ilioniteur of this day publishes= Ist. The law relative to the differential duties. 2d. A Royal resolution, fixing the tariff on tobacco. 3d. A Royal decree for the general execution of the law and the differential duties. 4th. A Royal decree relative to the assimilating of the flag of the United States to the Belgian flag. sth. A Ministerial order relative to the restitution of duties on certain kinds of wood. The Government in publishing the law on the dif ferential duties has immediately made use of the pre rogative given to it by an article of that law. The 6th article empowers to assimilate, by a Royal de cree, to the national flag, the flags of those nations which import direct from the countries to which they belong the productions -of Asia, Africa, and America. The flag of the United States is now placed on an equality with that of Belgium in regard to tonnage, pilotage, and all other port duties and charges whatsoever. The decree declared that cedar and ebony wood, cotton, wool, tobacco of Virginia, Maryland, and other parts of the United States, rum, pearl ash, potash, rice, whale and seal oil, shall b e cons id ere d as productions of the United States. With respect to other articles, which shall be represented as productions of the United States, proof must be given of their origin in the form fixed by the decree which regulates the execu tion of the law on the differential duties. The King and Queen will leave Neuilly on the 27th, and are expected at the palace of Lacken on the 28th of this month. The improvement of the communication with Eng land is on the point of being realised. We are in formed from Ostend, that the new line of steamers between Dover arid Ostend will -com mence their service on Monday, 29th instant. The steamers will be provided by the English South- Eastern Railway Company, but our Government, as it seems, is to bear the expense. The news is every moment expected from London that the postal con vention with England is signed. M. Bareel brought the negotiations as near as possible to a conclusion. The requisite full powers have been sent to M. Van de Weyer to terminate them. We forgot to mention, when we first spoke of this convention, that the transit of letters from England to Germany, and vice versa through our territory, was fixed at a rate sufficiently advantageous to our office, that this line might be adopted for the conveyance of the overland Indian mail, which now passes through France by way of Marseilles, but would then pass by way of Trieste. AMSTERDAM, JULY 24.—His Majesty the King has returned direct from Luxembourg to Holland. An indisposition, which happily has proved but slight, prevented his Majesty from visiting Maestricht. The accounts from Luxembourg continue to relate in detail the proofs of loyalty and affection with which his Majesty has been welcomed in all parts of the Grand Duchy through which he passed. THE HAGUE, JULY 24. We learn that the King has gone from Luxembourg to Coblentz, and intends to come by the steam-boat to Rotterdam. His Ma jesty is expected at the Hague to-morrow or the next day. __ THE HAGUE, JULY 26.—His Majesty the King arrived here from Luxembourg yesterday afternoon. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baussem, JUDY 25.

IRELAND. • ARRIVAL OF LORD HEITESBURY. DUBLIN, Jucv 26.—The weather, which had been all yes : terday and la.t night wet - and cheerless, eh ared up yester day, and at, an early hour tPe leading thoroughfares to the Castle were well filled by crowds of respectable persons • anxious to witness the entrance and reception of the suc cessor of Lord de Grey. At half past ten the streets were • lined by the troops in garrison, extending from Cork -hill to the railway station at Westland-row. The scene at this time was rather animated, aided in some measure by the music of the respective military bands and peals of joy bells from the cathedrals of Christ Church and St. Patrick's. The prome nade jetty at Kingstown, which was selected as the place of debarcation, was thronged from an early hour with numbers of the most respectable of our citizens. The harbour itself presented a.most animated appearance, the revenue cruisers having all their flags flying and thei r yards manned. A pas sage, enclosed by ropes and lined by a detachment of the Royal Marines, was formed from the jetty to the railway ter minus, to ensure an unobstructed passage for his Lordship and suite, who, it was arranged, should proceed to town by the Dublin and Kingstown Railway. A guard of honour, consist ing of tlie light company of the 16th Regiment, and the band of the same corps were in attendance for the purpose of assisting in the ceremonial of his Lordship'sreception. About ten o'clock the Merlin, Admiralty steamer, the vessel chosen for the conveyance of Lord Heytesbury to our shores, arrived at the entrance to the harbour; but the hour fixed for the recep tion of his Lordship at Kingstown by the authorities being eleven o'clock, the interval was occupied in cruising about the bay, thus affording to his Lordship an opportunity of viewing its almost unrivalled scenery under extremely fa vourable circumstances. Shortly betbre eleven o'clock the Merlin entered the harbour under a s a l u t e fro . nt the guns of the Shamrock and Kite revenue cruisers, and immediately came to her moorings alongside the jetty, amid the enthusi astic cheering of the assembled multitude. The Earl of Donoughmore and Mr. Frederick Shaw, the two Privy Coun cillors appointed to receive his Lordship, immediately pro ceeded on board. They were accompanied by the SPlicitor- General, the Dean of Ossory, Colonel Bowles, and several of the aides-de-camp and officers of the household, and, havins , congratulated Lord Heytesbury on his safe arrival, signified to his Lordship that the Lords Justices were ready to receive - him at the Castle. his Lordship then landed, attended by • the above-mentioned personages and, amid the continued cheering of the vast crowd winch had assembled, proceeded to the railway station, where a special train was in waiting to convey him and the cortege by which he was accompanied, to Dublin. His Lordship appeared to be in the enjoyment of most excellent health, and acknowledged, in the most courteous and most dignified manner, the cordial greetings which were tendered to hint as he passed along. At a quarter past eleven o'clock the train started from Kingstown, and reached Westland-row in nine minutes. At the various points along the line where a glimpse of the train could be caught, groups of the country people had assembled, loudly cheering as it passed. Upon his arrival at Westland-row, his Lordship was received with repeated acclamation by a numerous body of nobility, gentry, and citizens, and was met by the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Aldermen and Town-Councillors of the borough, who congratulated his Lordship upon his appointment and safe arrival, and tendered the keys of the city, to hi m , w hi c h were graciously returned. • .In - Westland-row a detachment of the Ist Royal Dragoons was stationed, who received his Lordship with the usual military honours, and formed his escort to the Castle. His Lordship having entered his car riage, accompanied by the Earl of Donoughmore and Mr. Frederick Shaw, proceeded to the Castle by Leinster-street, Nassau-street, Grafton-street, College-green, Dame-street, &c., which were lined with the troops lying in garrison, who presented arms, the bands playing " God save the Queen," as his Lordship's carriage passed their respective corps. The procession was headed by the Commander of the-garrison and staff; and Lord Heytesbury's carriages were followed by a considerable number of those belonging to the noblemen and gentlemen subsequently - presented to his Lordship at the Castle. The streets through which the procession pas se d were densely thronged, and the manifestations of applause from the respectably-dressed portion of the populace were very frequent, intermingled, however, by counter cheers for repeal and Mr. O'Connell. 'Upon his arrival at the Castle, Lord Heytesbury was re. ceived by the Gentleman Usher, and conducted to the Pre sence; Chamber, where their Excellencies the Lords Justices received his Lordship, sitting covered under the canopy as Chief Governors. After the usual ceremonies, his Lordship was sworn into office, the oaths having been previously administered by the Archbishop of Dublin and Chief Justice Doherty. During the progress of this ceremonial, the ordnance at the Park fired a salute of 21 gnus ' which, at the conc l us i on, was an swered by three volleys from the infantry drawn up in Dame-, street and College-green. His Excellency then held an undress levee, when th 4 fol lowing personages were presented :—The Earls of liandon, Donoughmore, Clonmel, Charleville, Clancarty, and Meath ; the Archbishop of Dublin, the Bishops of Meath. and Kildare, Privy Councillors; Lord Chief Justice Doherty, who came up from circuit to receive his Excellency, and administer one of the oath's of office; Sir Edward Blakeney, the Master of the Rolls; Lord Downes, Lord Clarina, Lord Tullamore, Right Hon. Frederick Shaw,_Right Hon. T. F. Kennedy, Major-General Wyndham, the Solicitor-General, the Judge of the Prerogative Court, the Dean of Ossory, Sir Lucius O'Brien, Sir R. Shaw, the High Sheriff' of the city, Right Hon. Arthur Moore, Sergeant Howley, - Archdeacon Monsen, Mr. Commissioner °Tenni!, Col. Browne, Col. Spey, De, IL 31aunsell, Col.

At re-fo the conclusion of the leve e ; the proce ss i on h av i ng been rmed, his Excellency retired, and at a few minutes past one o'clock took his departure from the Castle for the Vice regal Lodge, in an open carriage, the same in which.he made his entrance, drawn by four grey horses, and accompanied by two aides-de-camp, but unattended by any military escort. FATAL ACCIDENT IN A MILL Last evening., at the Manchester R-oyal Infirmary, Xtr. Chapman held an inquest on the body of a young woman, named Frances Kenyon, rdreteen years of age, whose death was occasioned by injuries received from machinery, in the mill of Messrs. Watkin an&hees, cotton spinners, Dukinfield. Robert I Vrigley, - overlooker in the mill, stated, that 'he deceased was a weigher in the blowing room, and had been employed in the mill about eightee:n months. On the afternoon 'of the 17th instant, wit;tess was re pairing one of the blo w i ng mac hi nes at which the de ceased- was employed, when, hearinx a shriek, he looked round, and saw her with her left hand fast be tween two cog-wheels attached to• the same machine. lie threw the wheels out of geer as soon as possible and liberated her ; after which Mr. Orme, surgeon,. dressed her injured hand, and next day she was con veyed to the infirmary. She was the only person blameable, as she had nothing to do except to weigh the cotton for the person feeding with it. The wheels were not boxed off, though they easily might be. There were none boxed off in the room. Four or five years ago a female was caught in the same manner, and died in the infirmary. 'There had been new machinery put up since then, and the new w as m o re d angerous,than the old. Jane Pollitt, a female employed in the same mill, stated that the deceased was caught whilst cleaning the machinery, which she had no right to do until it had stopped. It was nearly tea time when the accident hap pened, and.the deceased was in a hurry to get to her tea. Her duty was to clean the machinery when it stopped at tea time. Mr. Tomlinson, house surgeon to the Infirmary, stated that the deceased was admitted on the forenoon of the 18th instant. The fore finger of her left hand had been amputated, and there was compound fracture, of the middle and laceration of the two other fingers. Lock jaw' ensued on the 23d, and she died on flu', morning of Thursday last. The injuries to the hand *were the cause of death. The Coroner said, in this case, he 'conceived the jury would have to lay a deodand upon site machinery. lie did not know that very large deodr,nds were of any great service. The main object of imposing deodands was to make it compulsory upon parties to place their machinery in such a state as not to be dangerous to the people em ployed about it. Several of the jurors expressed a strong opinion as to the impropriety of allowing the machinery to remain un covered ; and eventually a verdict of "Accidental death" was returned, accompanied with a deodand of 101. upon the machinery. —Manchester Guardian of Saturday. • FATAL PRIZE FIGHT.—DISGRACEFUL CONDT: f tT OF FATHER.—On Tuesday an inquest was held at N'irthamp ton, on the body of Frederick Fitzhugh, who lost, his life in a pugilistic encounter with a man named Cumbeipatch, com monly known in that part of the country as DO4 ratch. The fight took place on the day previously, nest ' Merry's Close. It appeared from the evidence adduced ;:',fat Mr. Smyth, a magistrate, interfered to prevent tho 'right, but without success, having been pelted away bri the mob. The men fought for an hour; once they left ell', somebody having said that the police were coming. Fi!ahugh at that time went away, and remained about six or seven minutes. He then returned, the fight was renv,ved, and they fought about four rounds more. In the last 'round the head of deceased struck against the ground, Kid he could not get up. He was removed and seated against the railings. From thence he was about to be taken to the infirmary, when a body of men came up and took him away by force. The father of the de ceased was, present, but did not interfere ; ir, fact, he scold e d corpse deceased his wife for being in trouble about her son 1;:oing to fight, a n d llulltW arm-in-arm with others to form the ring. Se vera l bringof atl l i itioe emdfaeetehheieasr deceased do f n thel was taken to the Milk ma id public-house, in Kettering- roa d , after the fight eceasd had ner than he should give in. • said, e 4l l l . at witnesses h e e s s would wore was over; he was then fast dying, and expired shortly after wards. The father, on being called upon b y the Coroner to " say what he had to offer in explanation of his disgraceful con duct, declared that he had been against his son's fighting, but refused to sign the written statement to this effect. It did not appear that the men had had any quarrel, but that they had fought for 10s. a-side, in order to decide which was the better man. The Coroner, in summing up, told the jury that they would have to consider whether the fight had been a prize-fight or not; if it had been, the seconders, and. all who were present, would be participating in the offence. If parties were engaged in an illegal transaction, and death ensued, the offence was murder : if, therefore, they should find that the deceased came to his death by blows received from Cumberpatch in a prize-fight, they would return a , verdict of murder against him, and against the backers and: other defendants, as principals in the second degree. Tk e y accordingly returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Daniel Cumberpatch, Samuel Braines,' William Coopra, and Joseph Page (who are:not in custody), and John Fitjthwgh— the father—Charles Coles, Edward Lenton, and Henry King (who are in custody.)"—Abridged from the Northampton Mercury. _ BIDEFORD.—About three months since three chimney-sweeps sold sixty bushels of soot to a migh bouring farmer for 255., each party being very well satia• tied ith the bargain. Some days after it was di4covered that the gentlemen of the black robe had adult gated the soot with three sacks of very dry saw d ust . 'Th e farmer, however, is convinced that his crop o f turnips is greatly improved by the sawdust, as it materially contributed to the passing the manure through the dri:tl ; and as the vegetation of the sc,led looks most prop;.tious, the circum stance promisea to prove a valuable trial of the virtues of the chirilney and saw-pit.—West Eriton. It is understood that Dadd, 'who in so shocking a manner murdered his father in r ,Aibliam-park, will not be brought from Paris in time to he put on his trial at the pre sent assizes for the county of Kent.

At the conclusion of the performances on Satur day night, a piece of plate, which had been sub scribed for by the whole. of the company, was presented to Mr. Webster, as a token of respect, for his excellent management, and his uniform attention and kindness to the performers The piece of plate is an epergne of elegant design, executed in solid burnished and dead silver. From a circular base rises a shaft or stem, shaped somewhat like a champagne glass, supporting a basket formed of vine twigs and foliage, in which is placed a rich cut-glass bowl. Two beautifully-executed figures of children holding cups are seated at the foot of the stem. Around the base is an appropriate inscription, recording the circumstances under which the plate was presented. The stage was arranged for the ceremony of presenting the testimonial, which was placed on a table in the centre. Mrs. Glover, who had been deputed to the office, read the follow ing address written by Mr, Buckstone " TO AIR. WEBSTER. " Sir,—l have been deputed by my brother actors, many authors, and all the officers and artizans of the Little Theatre in the Haymarket,' to present you with a testimonial of their regard for you, and by which they desire to mark and commemorate an event unprecedented in the history of the drama—an event that the annals of the stage, throughout its best days, have never been able to record—and that is, a successful and uninter rupted season of four hundred nights. Four hundred consecutive nights, without, on any occasion, closing the doors for a special rehearsal, and on no pretekt whatever making the slightest deduction from the stipend of any one person who has had the good fortune to be employed in your establishment. " It was originally intended that the entire Haymarket company should unite in celebrating this dramatic tri umph, but a majority of the ladies, with that enthusiasm so characteristic of our sex, felt anxious at once to ex press their feelings for you, which they did to their sa tisfaction, and I am sure to your own. I preferred, with another sister actress (Mrs. Fitzwilliam), to join my brethren, and though there has been a division in the mode of doing a proud and pleasant thing, yet the hearty intention has been well and cheerfully carried out by all. _ _ _ _ " And belive me, that we feel still higher gratification in presenting you this testimonial, when we know it also records your firm encouragement of English talent ; proud are we to declare that the Haymarket Theatre has been English " from top to toe "—ay, "my lord, from head to foot " with English actors, English arti zans, English comedies, and, to crown all, ever a full and joyous English audience, to appreciate them. And more honourable yet is your triumph, still more deserved, when we are conscious that circumstances —imperative, no doubt—have prevented your efforts being cheered by that high patronage which would make our English hearts beat with gratitude, and, indeed, teach us how to act "—our poets how to write. Still a fostering public has enabled you effectively to present the comedies of the noblest drama in the world, as the honoured names of Shakspere, Massinger, Congreve, Cibber, Vanbrugh, Goldsmith, Sheridan, Inchbald, Col man, Centlivre, Murphy, Morton, amongst the dead ; and our Sheridan Knowles, with Bulwer, and many others, amongst the living, whose names have appeared in your bills, during the four hundred nights, can suc cessfully and gloriously testify. " That you may long continue in your honourable career is the wish of all who know you, and may the spirit and enterprise that so lately led you to make a munificent effort to discover hidden dramatic literary talent, never fail of receiving that encouragement from the public which is its due. " And now, Sir, allow me to present you with that epergne, in commemoration of the event I have named, and with the heartfelt wishes of all your brother and sister actors and actresses, and every person in the theatre, for your health, happiness, and success, and for the happiness and prosperity of your dear children, who will one day read the inscription engraven here, with a glow of conscious pride, as they reflect on the triumph of their father, and the many warm and devoted friends who have recorded it." Mr. WEBSTER acknowledged the compliment paid him in a suitable speech. CAUTION TO AMATEUR ROWERS.—An accident occurred yesterday, with narrow escape of the loss of life, to two young men, in a boat belonging to Mr. Searle, boat-builder, when rowing near the centre arch of Putney-bridge, apparently in deep conversation ; and had it not been for the timely warning of a young man on the bridge they must have gone down, for the next moment the boat went in half. They had just time to catch hold of the piles that form the starlings, and were taken off in two boats. It required the exertions of three watermen to get the boat from the pier, as the tide was running very strong at the time of the accident. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday a fatal accident oc curred to a guard of the train which left Bolton for Manchester about three o'clock. The unfortunate man, whose name is James Cooke, was seated in one of the second-class carriages, and was putting on the brake, as the train entered the tunnel ; but leaning too far over the side of the carriage, his head came in contact with one of the iron pillars of the tunnel, and with such force, owing to the speed of the train at the time, that the skull was dreadfully crushed and fractured. On reaching Prestolee the train stopped, and Mr. Turner, surgeon, of Manchester, who was travelling by it, got into the carriage where the poor man was lying ; but the injuries inflicted on the brain were beyond surgical aid, and Cooke expired in about ten minutes after the blow had been received. There appears to be no Llame attributable to any one else ; the unfortunate man having imprudently stretched his head out too far over the side of the carriage. The deceased lived in Salford ; we believe he was a steady man, and he has left a widow and several children to mourn their sudden bereavement. An inquest will in all probability be held to-cg.—Mau. chester Guardian of Saturday. CURIOUS CorticintrtcEs.—On Thursday, July 4, 1839, at three o'clock in the afternoon, W.
