The Peers assembled yesterday in great numlers , fur what purpose we can hardly divine. The Marquis of WEST3ILATH, indeed, referred to the ever sweet sub ject of Mullingar Sessions, and then the state of Ireland was overhauled by his Lordship, very much after the fashion of a beggar overhauling, his only shirt, which he can neithcrkeep clean norkeep together. Their Lordships will make nothing of Ireland. Like a lusty boy it has cut-grown their maternal cares, and frolicsomely waves its hand as it departs from their side en.l launches forth to try its own powers. The Tory Lords, who scold and weep at the runagate, Should have been less fond and less cruel ; and then they wool I not have lost their power, and also been laughed at. 'The Marquis of Weseeteeett wanted to protract the debate, but the Lards called him to order. The 811 for allowing a rate of interest greater than five per cent.. on bills of exchange, to which all the public s. - curities were added by the Marquis Of LAN.SDOW NE in Committee, underwent a discussion. The Duke of WELLINGTON proposed a clause to limit the Bill to i 18-0, which, on a division, was carried by 69 to .7i2. Lord Astinueeoe's brief speech we have elsewhere noticed. Their Lordships paeeed some other Bills through a stage, and then adjourned. In the Commons, the Ship Propeller Company Bill was read a second time. A petition was presented against the return of Mr. Alceck for Ludlow. No other business of any importance was transacted before the House went into a Committee of Supply , and Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that 30,000/. be granted to her MAJESTY for public education in Great Britain. The Noble Lord explained that the only question was, would they grant 30,0001. for public edu cation or not ? but at this the Opposition shouted No. They prof,ssed a readiness to vote chat mon e y, an d even double the :sum; tiro:tided - it went into th e exclusive pockets of their own exclusive and intolerant sect. The Tories will give as much as possible to the Church that is already stifled by wealth, but they will not gii c a farthing if they can help it to the Catholic or Dis senting chapel. Lord JOHN RUSSELL proved the in. tolerance of the National Society by mentioning that. this Society was expressly set up to separate the children of the Church from other children, and so perpetuate sectarian strife. After it had been esta- : 1 le:jailed a junction was proposed by the British and Fo reign Society, but the National Society inexorably stuck to the Catechism, as if there were nothing in all the vast regions of knowledge worthy of being taught but the Catechism, and nothing in the whole circle of the sciences on which Churchmen and Dissenters could meet as on common ground. Mr. MOORE wrote an admirable satire against the venerable Major CARTWRIGHT'S political pills ; cannot he take up his pen against this Bishop's pill ? The Catechism of the Church a moral panacea! No quack ever as cribed the tithe of the virtues to his own nostrum which our priests ascribe to the Catechism. To pre serve the Catechism they sacrifice the best interests of humanity. Lord JOHN RUSSELL also retorted on the Tories some of their sarcasms about open questions. The party opposed to him held differeet opinions. Mr. GLADSTONE and Lord ASHLEY were entirely at 1 variance with Lord STANLEY and Sir 'Joliette PEEL, but they kept their differences secret. They left the subject of education an open question, while they united to resist all education, as long as it was adminis tered by the present Ministers. Lord Menoer opposed the motion by a flat negative. The Noble Lord is an advocate fer education on right principle s ; and boasted very much of what the Church has lately done. Now, the more the labours of the Church are extolled, and the more the vices of the population arc blazoned forth, just so is the Church system proved to be defective. We concede that a great number of boys and girls go to the schools of the Church ; and the parsons themselves attest that there are great numbers of rogues and prostitutes in the country. ' The fact is, that the combined education given, and the example set by the priests, corrupt the people ; and they first, and next the State, particularly the Tory State, which zealously supports the Church, are responsible for all the vices and all the crimes of the commu nity. The Church undertakes to improve the charac ter of the people—the State believes its promises— the State supports the Church —the State has given the education of the people into the hands of the priests ; they monopolize the Uni t ersitics ; they monopolise all Sunday teaching ; the day that is set apart from other labour, is devoted to hear their instruction ; and the result is, that the community is over-run with lice and crime. For this the priesthood who assume a controul over the public mind, and the Statesmen who sanction their pretensions, are responsible. Lord MA HON'S boasting of the exertions of the Church only makes the proof; that they arc in a wrong direction, the more striking. He is resolutely opposed, however, to any person but the priests educating the people. Mr. BAINES defended the Government plan, and pointed out the injustice of ascribing to the Minute of the ad of June the defect , : of that of the 10th of April. lie made an 'excellent defence of the Ministerial plan, when he said it was as little open to objection as could be devised. It is not a plan—large, comprehensive, suitable to the circumstances of the people, and worthy of the knowledge of the age ; but it is such a plan as the weak Whigs, who sit behind Lord JOHN RUSSELL Will support, and as the Tories will not actually raise a rebellion to defeat. It is the best to which the I-Iou•eof Connuensand the most enlightened of the people will agree. It is not positively good, but nothing better could be hoped for, nothin g better cou ld b e pro d uced, e which would not prov o k e more rabid hostility, and there for it is a good plan. Lord Tereestoterit opposed the vote, and ex pressed with great correctness Churchmen on this sub the feeli ngs o f a ll ject. " Why did not the Noble Lord call on the Government to bestow on the Church their liberality ? This is the whol e secret of the matter. " The priesthood want the whole grant to them selves ; and on the ground th at they only teach A short discussion took place last night in the House of Lords on the Committee on the Bill for suspending the Usury Laws, which had some refe rence to the present state of the Money Market. Lord ASHBURTON alluded to the subject with re gret, and would have said more but that he feared to increase the public inconvenience. He did say of the law suspending the Usury Laws, which the Bill is to renew, that it had added to the difficulties of the Bank. We understood the Noble Lord to affirm, that the power of ob taining a higher rate of interest had thrown more money into circulation, and rendered it pro portionably difficult for the Bank to limit the cur rency, which had for some time been its object. Somehow or other almost all laws seem to fail in the objects contemplated by the Legislature, —whether they be benevolent, as in this Bill, or malevolent, as in the penal laws against the Catholics ; and Lord ASHBURTON as sured their Lordships that the usurious bar gains which had been formed in consequence of the law suspending the Usury Laws were frightful, and would astonish their Lordships. He allUded particularly to the information he had derived from solicitors; which, could he lay it before their Lord. ships, would make them shrink aghast at the con sequences of their own enactments. The present state of the Bank of England, to the_ difficulties of which Lord AsunuaToN so 1 feelingly alluded, is another example -of the same fact. When the Charter was renewed every right-thinking political economist remonstrated against it, but Lord A L THOR P and Mr. PoULE77 THOMSON were obstinate in wrong, and passed the new Charter, giving the Bank greater powers than ever, by conferring on its notes—for the especial protection of the Bank—the extraordinary, but lying, privilege of being a legal tender. The Bank, intended to be favoured, was made the regulator of the currency. It is in consequence obliged to apply its screw, to raise its rate of interest, and drive business from its own counter to the counters of its rivals. The rate of profit on mercantile and other transactions,which is low, by no means warrants a high rate of interest, and other banks continue to lend at what may be called the market rate, while that charged by the Bank is above it. Strange to tell, London merchants send, it is said, bills into the manufacturing districts to be discounted. The measures, therefore, which the Bank is now obliged to adopt is cutting up its own trade and augment ing that of its rivals. That the power conferred on it is a gross injury, indeed nothing less than a gross fraud, on the country, is certain ; but it is seldo m that we can trace so clearly the effects of such an injustice in injuring those it was intended to benefit. The debate is otherwise a forcible illustration of some of the inconsistencies of statesmen. A few nights ago the House of Commons, when the Canada question was discussed, rung with Sir ROBERT PEEL'S declamation against pledg ing the House, by an abstract resolution, to some course of conduct in 1842 ; last night the Duke of WELLINGTON was equally emphatic against net preparing to do something in 1842. He could net allow the Bill to be made perpetual ; he wished to take the subject into consideration in 1842 ; and by enacting that the law should expire at that time, he really pledged the House as much to consider it in 1842 as Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Canada Resolution pledged the House to do something else at the same period. But this inconsistency is no thing compared to that of Sir ROBERT PEEL him self, who, while he declaims so lustily against bind-. ing the House at a future period, by every law he assents to, binds, not only the House, but the country, whatever may be the circumstances, for an indefinite period. Take for example this very. Bank Charter. Has not Sir Robert PEEL, who has such a horror of pledging the House, bound him , self and bound the country to suffer that grievous injustice and great public wrong for a long term of years ? When the Duke of WELLINGTON, by limit ing a law to the year 1842, compels the Legislature then to consider the subject, and when Sir R °BERT PEEL, gives his assent to such a law as the Bank Chaiter, they really pledge themselves, pledge the Parliament, and pledge the country, to a particular line of conduct for an indefinite or a definite period, and yet they profess to have a horror of pledges ! 'We beg the attention of our readers to the de cision of. the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of DAVID JONES, the Welsh Dissenter, who has been so long imprisoned for the heinous clime of not furnishing, out of his own pocket, the sacra mental bread and wine required by the Church going portion of the parish of Llanon. JONES, it will be recollected, was one of the Churchwardens of this parish, of which the renowned EBENEZER MORRIS, that godly mirror for parsons to see their likeness in, is either curate or vicar, we know not which, while a rich squire was the other. The rate-payers had been regularly summoned to con sider the propriety of laying a Church -rate, and had, in the undoubted exercise of their legal right, put a negative upon the Churchwardens' demand of more cash. Upon this, what does EBENEZER truth, that all other men. teach falsehoods, even those who teach arithmetic, their friends demand for them all the money that the State can devote to education. Mr. LANGDALE, a Catholic, in a sensible speech, pointed out the intolerance of the Church. Mr. LirroN dreaded that Protestant children would be converted by Catholic urchins were they mixed at school. They are .such wonderfully clever people, the Catholics, children and all, according to the testimony of the Protestants that it would seem to be a good thing for the people to become Catholics. Mr. MORGAN J. O'CONNELL crushed Mr. LITTON, as far as that was worth while, and encouraged the Go vernment to persevere. Mr. CRESSWELL dwelt on the impropriety of trying to set aside the vote of the House of Lords on this ques tion, and controverted Mr. EWART'S statement that the combined plan of education had succeeded at Liverpool. Mr. VERNON SMITH admitted that Government had given up their first plan, because it was unpopular, and this was a temporary expedient to satisfy the thirst of knowledge. Sir GEORGE CLERK threatened almost an insurrec tion in Scotland, if' Government should pursue its plan. We must be excused for saying that Mr. SHILL was more violent than effective, and that we have heard him deliver more biting sarcasms than any he spoke last night, with infinitely less vehemence. His gestures seemed rather to provoke the merriment than the sympathy of the House. The close of his speech was both graceful and fNtive, and Lord ASHLEY will feel for sometime to come the just accusation that religion—how re pugnant to its nature:—makes even him cruel ; and, in obedience to the commands of his priest, he will not allow little children to come unto the Saviour. Mr. GOULBURN followed Mr. SHILL, and made a dull prosing speech, which made us much admire the patience of the House in listening to him. He did at length weary them out, and cries of " Divide," caused him to close his oration. He threatened the House of Commons with the House of Lords. Lori J. RUSSELL distinctly explained that the plan of June 3 was notlike the plan of April 11 5 —that the Govern went would be bound by the vote of the House—that it differed so little from that of last year that he was willing to take it on the same terms ; and on the close of his short and effective address the Committee divided. We announce the result with regret, as showing the falling off in the Liberal party. The num bers were, 275 for the vote, and 273 against it. Other stages will expose it to other trials, and it can scarcely, we are afraid, be carried through the House of Commons. If that be so, we hope that the House will make no grant whatever, for every grant only tends to increase the riches and the arrogance of the priesthood. Some other routine business was transacted, and then the House adjourned. do but lug poor JONES into the Ecclesiastical Court for not providing the necessary bread and wine ! Now it is set down, if we are not mis taken, in the Rubric, that it is as much the duty of the parson as of the Churchwardens, or the joint duty of both, to furnish these things. But EBENEZER did not feel any motion of the Spirit to commence legal proceedings against the offending minister of Llanon ; and by some singular accident it also happened that he omitted to direct the terrors of the Spiritual Court against the squire, the colleague of DA VID JONES, who, if any blame rested with the Churchwardens, was of course fully entitled to his share. JONES, however, was a poor man, a Dis senter, and a Unitarian ; his colleague rich, a Churchman, and orthodox. That makes all the difference in the world in clerical estimation of con duct, and in clerical dispensation of justice. JONErS, in short, was made the scape-goat, and our pious friend EBENEZER, never rested until, with the assistance of a brother Ecclesiastic, a twin spirit, who combines the editorship of the Carmar then Journal, a rabid Tory newspaper, with the office of Surrogate of the Bishop's Court, he got his victim lodged in Carmarthen Gaol. In this gaol, let it not be forgotton, was then lying Jou N JA NIES, Churchwarden of Llanelly, the other pa rish which rejoiceth in the spiritual superintendence of EBENEZER MORRIS, who had taken offence at JA m Es, first, for certain political actions deemed liberal, and secondly, for not duly attending upon the Sunday ministrations of him, the said 'Molar's, by which neglect he had, as Churchwarden, though a Dissenter, rendered himself amenable to the Spiritual Court. DAVID JONES, being advised that the Surrogate, whether from ignorangc of his du ties—which is not • unlikely, as the Welsh clergy are, with few exceptions, the most ig norant men, perhaps, in the kingdom—or from other motives even less creditable, which w e shall not specify, had strained the law against him by assuming an authority to which he had no claim, commenced proceedings in the Queen's Bench, the result of which, it will be seen by the report in ano ther part of our paper, is, that he has been found to have been illegally imprisoned for six months, and that he has a valid ground of action for damages against his prosecutors—persecutors they ought rather to be called. We perceive that Lord DEN MAN wished the matter to be compromised in a way which we should think hardly fair to this much injured man. His Lordship proposed to give JONES the costs of his application to the Court, if he would agree not to bring any action. Why should he make such an agreement ? Is a man to be deprived of his liberty by the arbitrary and in formal proceedings of such men as this Ecclesias tical underling—is he to lie, month after month, in prison, to the injury of his health, and, perhaps, the ruin of his affairs, and after all have no redress for so grievous a wrong ? The supposition is mon strous. "We trust he will resist all attempts to compromise the matter, and rest satisfied with no• thing short of the verdict of a British Jury. Amongst the useful institutions of the metropolis the Lock. Hospital has long held a foremost plaCe. We see, by an advertisement in another part of The Sun that this valuable charity is at present ex posed to some peculiar expenses, and which the charitable and humane will willingly contribute to enable it meet. The particulars arc made known in the advertisement, to which we solicit attention. By the arrival of the packet-ship George Wash ngton, at Liverpool, yesterday morning, in sixteen days from New York, we have received American papers of the 7th instant inclusive. • Being but one day later than the journals received yesterday they add little to the stock of news already published respecting the state of affairs in South and British America. From the Ist of April to the 11th of May 11,81:i passengers arrived in New York front foreign ports. Of these 7,702 were from Liverpool alone. The number of vessels which arrived Within the same period. wa5..350.. _ Rumours of the rather sudden disappearance of a Canadian functionary of military as well as civil rank, had reached the United States, but as they seem questionable, we suppress the particulars. The gentleman's absence would have excited no at- tention, but that in the hurry of his departure, he forgot to leave behind him certain sums of money which ought to have found their way into the public treasury. The American journals treat such mistakes with much facetiousness, observing that there is no power of the mind more deceptive than the memory, and that a man who in his hurry mis takes the night for the day, and forgets to take leave of his old neighbours and friends, cannot be expected to remember his transactions with the various individuals who may happen to have claims upon the contents of his pocket-book. The most friendly relations are in the course of being established between the United States and Mexico. France is forming a friendly alliance with Texas, with the ultimate view, as is supposed, of obtaining a colonial settlement in that quarter of the world.

LLOYDS' SHIPPING-(TIIIS DAY• Letters and papers from Madrid, of the 16th inst. have been received. They state that on the 10th a partial engagement, or rather a skirmish, took place between the troops commanded by General A vEaBE, and the Carlists under CA BRERA, near Alontalvan, in which the rebels were repulsed with inconsiderable loss, though with the advantages of ground and numbers in their favour. A report prevailed that the important fortress of iVlonresa, in Catalonia, had been captured by the Carlists, but it was not traced to any authentic source. In the capital the only topic of interest discussed was the forthcoming elections, which were expected to be very favourable to the ultra-liberal party : The Madrid paper, El Meiisagcro, of the 14th, publishes the following letter, intercepted from the Carlists:— Durango, Jane 1.

JUNE 25, 1639 received your letter, the King has be 'n pleased to act on your recommendation, and has appointed BrigecUers For cadell and Llangostera to the dignity of Field Marshal. Unfortunately we cannot boast of the same triumphs as your Excellency ; but luckily Espartero is not iwarc c f the infamous intrigue which has reduced us to our present state. Our forces diminished to twelve battalions— twelve or fifteen cannons being lost by the fault of the unfortunate Guergue, and Balmaseda having tiken our horses—this, together with the disorganization of the army, is the cause of our having been compelled to repair our losses only. On the other hand, Espartero pres,es us closely. " \-`e are deeply interested in your movements at Cuenca and elsewhere ; for, notwithstanding Espartero's habitual indolence, as long as he is obliged to watch your motions he cannot interfere with us. It would be very important if you could contrive to arm all your men. Per haps it would be possible to have arms made for the men who are coming in to ask for them. I entreat your Ex cellency to pay attention to this subject. General Alaroto has written to the King, expressin g his desire that bar. rnony should reign in the army, and entreating that par don may b e gran t e d to B .2 !maseda, i n or d er that if a'l were on good terms we might co of crate more ( ff.‘ctually for the legitimate cause. As I perfectly concur in this opinion, I must request your Excellency will inform 13a1- maseda of what has been goin g on, for I do not know where he is at the present moment. I count on your zeal and friendship in this affair, and pray God to grant you a a number of years. . ' , JUAN MONTENEGRO. . The defeat of the French Cabinet on two occasions last week in the Chamber of D eput i es has led to a re newal of the old gossip about a change of Ministry in France. Though such an event must take place, we regard as too distant fur immediate discussion. The SOULT Cabinet is composed of men more tenacious of the sweets of office than of political principles, or even, in some cases, of personal character, and therefore they will cling to their places as long as it is possible for them to hold them. The Army Staff Bill limit ing the power of the Crown to create more than six Marshals of France was carried against them on Saturday by a majority of 183 votes, but not a word was uttered by Souvr and his friends about resigning. Their previous defeat in the course of the week has already been noticed in our columns. It is, however, barely possible. that before the close of the Session, MIER'S or GUI.ZOT, or perhaps both these gentlemen way take office in conjunction with at least five members of the present Ministry. The Constiln tionnel, M. Timins . organ, hints as much in an article which is made the subject of some curious comments in the Siecle;Cand Courrier Francais of Sun day. In fact, French patriotism has degenerated on the part of leaders of the Coalition, into a mere squab ble for place. Principles, character, all that is valuable to nations in the reputation of public men, are reck lessly sacrificed to the sordid ambition of figuring as Ministers. Expensive in their habits, and licentious in their lives, most of the leading political men of France can only subsist by pandering to the will of the Court.. When public men, for the means of living in profusion, look to the emoluments of office, it is in vain to expect from them the . severe virtues essential to the character of the true patriot. Fr(;rn the instant we learned that it was the ambition of M. TiliEnS, for example, to rival Princes in the,_collectio n of rare pictures, bronze', and statuary, in the costliness of his furniture, and the sumptuousness of his entertainments, we were at no loss to conceive the extent to which the electors of France might calculate on the employment of his great abilities in their service. We find the following important announcement in one of the Journals of Sunday :—England, France, Austria, and Russia have decided that a conference shall speedily be opened among the Great Powers of Europe to regulate and finally settle the affairs of the East. The place of meeting is not yet fixed, but it is supposed that London will be named as the most convenient." A letter from the Spanish frontier of the 19th inst., reports as a fact, that in consequence of interviews between ESPAKTERO and MmtoTo, a suspension- of arms, for three months has been exchanged between these cffieers. Upon this statement the Sentinel des Pyrenees has the following observations : This news is of such vast importance that .we do not venture to say any thing on the subject until we have some more certain communication. We will, however, observe the c!)incidence of this report - with the following letter, addressed from the Army of the North to the Eco del Cornercio. The following is a letter from the head-quarters of the Army of the North, dated the 9th of this month : " Colon2l Monteveide, belonging to the general staff, is gone to the head -quarters of Maroto, to hold a parley. Ile had scarcely set out when air extraordinary message arrived from Madrid. This circumstance has given rise to an infinite number of reports. Some persons say that the Carlists have propos, d to terminate the struggle, by means of certain stipulations, which have already been communi cated to the Government. We cannot yet give credit to this news, but it would not be strange if the factions, wearied out as they are, should think of laying down their arms, especially as they see that they are combating in vain against a nation and an army, fully resolved to maintain the constitutional cause."—Sentinelle des Pyre nees, Jane 20. BRUNSWICK, JUNE 15.—Searcely a fortnight has passed since the departure of Duke Wiliam, whose tour is said to be connected with his marriage, which is so gresily wished for. It is generally reported here that his Serene Highresi has made choice of a Princess of the House of Leuchtenberg. STOCKIIOI,M, JUNE 14.—The King will not he here till to-morrow, having stopped three days at S:rornsholm. ODESSA, JUNE 7.—The Empress Alexandra steam. beat, which left Constawinnple on the 4th of this month, has arrived here, hut brings no further news from the Turkish Capital. Hallovna, JUNE 18 —The King has returned a long answer to the Address of the Assembly of the Estates. It was read yesterday in the Chambers, and is fully calcu- lated to make the most favourable impression on every one, who is convinced that this is the only way in which the the real interests of the country can be secured, and the intentions of his Majesty be carried into effect. The Hanoverian Gazette publishes the statement of the revenue for the year beginning in 1837, and ending 1838. the result is as follows: Excess of Revenue flaainuno, JUNE 21.—1 t is said that the Emperor Ferdinand has granted a free pardon to Baron %Vessalinji, who was condemned for high treason and to the other persons under sentence for political offences.—Hamburg Papers, June 22 BOURSE.—PARIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 22.

We have received Buenos Ayres papers of the 24th March, from which we copy the following : " Printed copies of the declaration of war against the Government of Buenos Ayres,.by Don Fructuoso Rivera, although not officially promulgated, arrived in town by the schooner packet Rosa, on Monday last. The news caused little or no sensation in Buenos Ayres, it having been long anticipated." (Extract.) The Governor and Captain-General of the Province of Entre Rios, to its inhabitants. Entrerianos—The sacred duty of saving the country from the insults of a tyrant, calls me to the field of battle. I march with pleasure, and will endure with cheerful re signation the fatigues of the campaign, if my efforts crown your expectations. Reveira, that ungrateful, unnatural American, has filled the measure of his atrocious crimes; nvt satisfied with having lacerated the bosom of his country, introducing anarchy into it, raising the standard of rebellion, he wishes likewise to humble and degrade it to the extreme of making it drag the chains forged by foreign hands, and that the Ar gentines should be subjected to the same ignominious fate. He further adds, the moment approacites.in which this fated man will be delivered over to justice for his enormous crimes—that the avenging sword already glitters in the bands of six th ousan d A rgent i nes , who have sworn to conquer or die. Since the arrival of the news from Peru and Bolivia, the visits of congratulation from town to his Excellency the Governor, at his Quinta, were so numerous that six head of cattle were daily killed, and consumed at his Ex cellency's table. The Liverpool Albion which we have received contains an important circular from the Bank of the United States, received by the George Washington, from New York The issuers of this document, so important to the cotton trade, did not wish it to be published in the newspapers. It is too long to give the whole at present. It begins by stating. You have doubtless received the very un favourable advices by the Great Western in rela tion to the cotton -market. These advices, it is ap prehended, do not disclose even to the full extent the dangerous situation in which our great staple is placed. Thediminished demand for Yarns and Cotton goods on the Continent, the short harvest of late years, the shipment of Bullion from Great Britain, and consequent rise in the rate of interest of the Bank of England, must all tend to a greater decline in price, if some steps are not preremp torily adopted to prevent the remaining stock of Cotton now in the country from being offered for immediate sale in the European Markets : it is quite obvious that but or, e or tw o made would be likely to counteract the results that must otherwise inevitably flow from the causes just indi cated. `• Ti o first would b - 3 to o-gan's^, thrcugh the aid of the Bank of the United States, and the Banks in the principal emporiums of the different States— a combination sufficiently powerful to advance a sum on every bale of cotton on this side of the water, which would 'insure its being kept in the country for three months. " The other scheme:would be to concentrate in one house in Liverpool, the whole, or the greater part of the cotton now to go forward, by an arrangement for affording ade quate aiid collateral aid sufficiently powerful to enable the house in question to hold over until a greater part of the present stock in England is worked off."

The mountain has been in existence now for many weeks, and all that was want;ng to complete the illus:on, so admirably effected by the artificial glaciers, the snow, and the ice, was the eruption which took place last evening. The crowd began to assemble at an early hour, and by nine o'clock the gardens were filled in every part. Soon after that hour the first signs of eruption be came visible. Smoke began to issue from the crater ; rumbling sounds, like distant thunder, were then heard; flashes of light succeeded ; and at last came the grand dis charge. The whole mountain became transparent and resembled one enormous mass of fire, and the burninglava was seen pouring down its sides. The multitude teitited their admiration by loud and general acclamations. Judg ing from the first exhibition, we may very safely say thi volcano will have a long run. 11UNGERFORD ARKET.

At rivals this morning—French m iil, also a mail from Rio Janeiro, by the Opossum. Sailed on the 24th April, from Pernambuco, May 16. By the above packet we have received the Pike Current from Rio Janeiro, of the 221 April, from which we copy the following .—" There has been very little activity in business, generally, since our lest circular of the 22d ult., the Exchange having maintained itself pretty steady at 291, became racr float( r to-day, and some business, though upon a limited scale, was done both at 291- and 29k. Bills still remain at the latter, and Money at the former rate; the transactions for this packet have been unusually small, as compared to what was done in previous months. " COFFEE.—A further improvement in price of about 200 reals has taken place since our last, with the exception of the very best superior, which has maintained itself almcst unaltered at 400 to 500 to 400 to 600 reals. There has been a steady demand for all descriptions, but more par ticular for superior and good, first of these, upwards of 5,000 bags were sold to-day, almost all for the United States, leaving on hand about 4,000 bags, nearly all ordinary quality ; no judgment as to the quality of the new crop to general can be formed with any degree of propriety. Judging however from the weather which has prevailed doting the progress of the crop, we have reason to pre sume that it will turn out to be a very fair quantity. The shipments to the United States last month amounted to 19,437 bags, and to the Cape of Good Hope 5 550 bags. '1 he exports in March were 49,515 bags Coffee against 61.153 in March 1838. THE GOLD DUST ROBBEttY. On his cross-examination he said that it was the duty of Levi in Caspar to open the letters. The postman and wit ness have occasionally differed in their accounts before. There were other clerks belonging to the office—Smith, Allen, and Hickie. It was Lewin Caspar's ordinary busi ness to speak to persons during the absence of Mr. Hartley, and it was his custom to take such persons into the inner office. He had given a description of the man Moss, as having large black whiskers, and as stooping ; he had also described him as between 50 and 60 years of age. Mit chell described Lim nearly in the same terms as the witness, st .ting in addition that he was from five to six feet high._ ( A laugh.) Ship' boxes are locked up, and the keys are hung up in the office. It is usual at nine o'clock in the morning to open the ships' boxes and take out the papers. The bills of lading are laid upon Mr. Lewin Caspar's desk. Witnes had done so that morning- before Caspar came to the office. Has no doubt that Moss is the man he saw come out of the cab. Thomas Kingston, foreman to Mr. Hartley was next examined, and stated the particulars of the party applying for the boxes, and taking them away in a cab. Edward Bristow, wharf clerk, produced the letter re ceived from Messrs. Carnes, to deliver - two boxes, B C 18 and 19. Caspar gave the witness directions to deliver the two boxes upon the production of the order. Moss came in a cab, and brought with him the order for the delivery, signed by L. Casper. He accordingly delivered the boxes, and received a receipt from Moss. Witness had been in the employ of Mr. Hartley about four years, and Lewin Caspar about twoJears. William Debonere flaggar—ls chief clerk at the Bul lion-office at the Bank. Received intimation by post of the arrival of some boxes of gold dust at Falmouth. Re ce:ved four parcels that were not boxes. Never received two boxes marked B. C. 18 , :rid 19. James Peake—ls accountant to the Brazilian Company. Went to the office on the morning of March 25 at ten o'clock. Knows Messrs. Carne at Falmouth. No boxes of gold dust marked B. C. 18 and 19, ever arrived at their office. Mr. Marsh usually came to the office at a quarter before eleven. Witness then sent George Carthew to the Dublin Steam Packet-office to inquire it' two boxes of gold dust, marked B. C. 18 and 19, had arrived by the Dublin steamer. Went to the Bank to ascertain if the boxes had baen delivered there, and saw Lewin Caspar -at the Bul lion office. Asked him what had become of the two boxes of gold dust, marked B. C. 18 and 19. He said they have been delivered at your house. Witness said how is that, when they were consigned to the Bank of England by the bill of lading. He replied that they had re ceived a letter that morning from Messrs. Carne, of Falmouth, saying, that in consequence of an error in the manifest they were not to be delivered at the Bank of England, but to an agent of the Brazilian .Mining Com pany, in London. Witness asked him the name of the agent, he said he did not remember. Witness esked if the name was Marsh, he said, " that I think is the name." Witness afterwards went to the office in Crotched Friars, and saw Lewin Caspar there ; during the interval the witness had been to his own office, and had ascertained that the boxes had not arrived. After some further evidence the witness was cross-ex amined by Mr. Phillips, but no new facts were adduced. \Vm. Marsh, Secretary to the Brazilian Mining Com pany ; said he had received advice front Messrs. Carrie of the arrival of some gold dust; he never authorised Moss or any other person to go to the steam-wharf to receive it in his name. On the letters being shown to him he said they did not appear to be all in the same 1154 d-writing, and al together they were such as it was unlikely any merchant would sign. His own name was wrongly spelt ; his desig nation %las also incorrect. Messrs. Came were well cc quakted with both. George Carthcw•—ls a servant to the Brazilian Com. parry was sent on the :15th last March to the Dublin Steam Packet office, in John-strtet, saw one of the clerks ; does not see any body here that he saw on that occasion ; did not see him before, but he secs him now and recogniz2s Lewin Caspar; he is not certain he saw him, and would not undertake to swear t 3 him by any means. (The trial was proceeding when we went to press.) WILL OF THE EARL OF ESSEX.—The will of the Right Hon. the Earl of Essex has been just preyed in the Pr, rogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Doctors' Commons, by John Drummond, Esq., the sole executor. The property of the Noble Earl has been sworn under the value of 120,000/ ; this, of course, does not in_ elude the freehold estates. The Dowager Countess of Essex, late Miss Stephens, whose marriage with the Earl took place about two years since, derives an arir.uty of 3,0001. a year under this will, a legacy of 10,000/., and the furniture of the house in Cashiobury-park. The house and furniture in Belgrave-square are bequeathed to her abso lutely, by a codicil lately made. The residue of this pro perty is directed to be laid out in purchase of freehold estates, and the rents arising from the same to go in the same twiner as is directed by his said will, namely, to his nephew, the present Earl, and the heirs male 'of his body for ever. The will is extremely long, being written upon no fewer than forty sheets of piper, and occupying twenty , two skins of parchment. The freeholds are of great value. The Dowager Countess is, in addition to the above, en titled by the last codicil to all moneys in the banker's hands, and moneys out at interest, or upon mortgages above the value of 3,0004 The sum of 5,000/. was settled upon her on her marriage with the late Earl. DEATH OF SIR R. WILLIAMS, K.C.B.—It is with sincere regret that we have to announce the death of Colonel Sir Richard Williams, K. C. 8., Royal Marines, after a short illness, at his house at Portsmouth. As the only representative of the Marine Corps on the late Com mission of Naval and Military Revision, his loss will be severely felt by that distinguished body, whose cause, at the most critical period of the investigation, will thus have been left without any other advocacy and support than a general sense of justice on the part of his colleagues may supply. It is rumoared that the great excitement which arose cut of his unremitting attention to the duties of the Commission has tended to hasten this melancholy rent.— United Service Gazette. STRATHGLASS.--A great number of human skeletons were lately discovered in digging a part of the farm of Mauld, on the Chisholm's propery, near Erchless castle. The skeletons were in a high state of preservation, owing probably to the sandy, gravelly soil in which they had been deposited. What renders this discovery the more remarkable is, that the oldest inhabitants in the dis tract, some of whom are 80 years of age and upwards, have no recollection of having ever heard any tradition, either of a battle that was fought in this particular spot, or of a burying-ground having been is the place. Most probably these skeletons are the remain of ferocions clansmen, who, at a remote period, mustered i,n fell array in some feudal contest, and were hastily buried by their surviving Maids in the spot which their bodies had covered in the field of battle.— Courant. BERLIN . , JUNE 2.—A very unpleasant circum stance took place a few days ago :—viz. a considerable theft committed at the Mineralogical Museum of our Uni versity, which is under the superintendence of Professor Weiss. The thief must not only be a shrewd but likewise a very well-informed gentleman, for tho minerals missing are of those which appear to have no value, but which the connoisseur at the - first glance knows to possess a very great one. A large and magnificent fire opal has, for in stance, vanished. Much regret is also felt at the disap pearatice of almost all the beautiful ores of gold, silver, and platina brought by Baron de Humboldt from the Ural Mines, when his_ grand scientific journey in Northern Asia took place. It is affirmed that they con tained a value of 4,000 to 5,000 thalers. Every measurJ has been adopted for the discovery and apprehension of the thief. June 9.—The police are in search of the individuals who on the night of the 6th inst. stole various minerals, valued at near 1,0001., from the museum of the Berlin University. A young Englishman who attends the Uni versity lectures, and upon whom su!picon rests, has already been arrested. THE A RAIY.—The following infantry regiments will embark in the course of the present year for foreign service.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) ! The trial of the two Caspars, and of Moses and. MN. Abrahams was this morning resumed. The Judge touk his seat on the bench shortly after ten o'clock. Henry Mitchell, a clerk to Yews. Hartley, recollects on the morning of the robbery Lea in Caspar corning to the office earlier than usual. The ship's box of the City of Limerick, was placed in the warehouse, and Lewin Caspar took the two boxes out of the ship's box, and then replaced them. lie sent witness on a message to Mrs. Bristow, and on his return he saw Moss with Lewin Ca=par. They went out together. On his cross-examination he said that during Mr. Hart ley's absence the whole management of the business de volved on Lewin Caspar, who was very attentive. Moss at that time had large bushy whiskers. ILs no doubt that Moss is the man he saw with Lewin Caspar. William Blundell, is a clerk in Messrs. Hartley's employ. Was present with Lewin Caspar on March 25 at half-past nine in the morning when the letters were delivered. Witness took the letters horn Mitchell, to whom the postman had delivered them. Lewin Caspar took them from him. Ile made an entry in the book for postage ; 1 Falmouth, 2 Plymouth, 4 Dublin, and the amount 7s, 10,1. Caspar returned them after some had been opened ; when he returned them there were two Fa!- mouth letters. The postage from Falmouth is Is. The postman in general put the amount of the whole of the let ters upon one of them. He did so that morning'. His entry was 7s. 10d. ; when he received the letters from Lewin Caspar, he made the entry in the book Bs. 10d. when he settled with the porter, and at the end of the week, he paid him for Ohe Falmouth letter only; Lewin Caspar took tl e letters into the office. About 11 o'clock he was called cut to see a person in a cab ; Moss was the man ; he asked for Mr. Hartley or his agent ; witness told Lewin Caspar, who went out to the cab, and they both returned to the office, where they remained a few minutes, and came out together; Lewin asked witness if there were two boxes of gold dust marked B C IS and 19, consigned to the Brazilian C pinpany ; witness told him the manifest had gone to the wharf, but that he would refer to the book, he did so, found the entry, and told him so. Caspar opened the door and let Moss out ; Moss went away, and Caspar re turned into the office. EVENING EDITION. COURT CIRCULAR.

THEATRES. I/ER 31;i4JASTY'S. Donize..tti's opera of L'.E/isir d'Amor; seems destined to another and mire distinguished career. It was popular at the Odcra Buff., when first introduced to this country, and it is likely to he still more popular at her Majesty's Theatre, where it has all the advantages which first. rate musicians and voclists can bestow upon fine coinposition. The performance of Saturday night was a decided hit. When played on the preceding Thursday for Taglioni's benefit, it would not .be easy to distinguish whether the applause was accorded to the performer or the performance, er how much of it to either respectively. But its repetition on Saturday night, unconnected with the benefit of a great public favourite, put the merits of the opera fairly to the test, and it is no exaggeration to say that it came ti iumphantly out of the ordeal. Persiani, Tamburini, Lablache, and Mario exerted their talents to the utmost. It was impossible to hear them without feel ing that there is a degree of excellence which description must abandon in despair, nor was that impression weakened when Taglioni came to display her inimitable grace in the beautiful ballet of Ghana, which followed. The house was crowded in every part, and the scene was rendered m re brilliant and imposing by the presence of her Ma jesty, the Queen Dowager, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta, and a large muster of the nobility. dl of whom appeared to join most cordially in approbation of L' Eli sir d'Amore. DRURY-LANE. The veteran Russell—the contemporary of Kemble, Siddons, Bannister, Jordan, &c., the supporters of the drama, in its more halcyon days—had his benefit last night at this theatre. and happy are we to testify that it was to all appearance a real b, nefit, the house being crowded in every part. The performances, which were under the illustrious patronage of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, consisting of the new version of D on i zett i' s popu l ar opera L'Elisir d'Antore, called the Love Spell ; or, The Mountebank of Ravenna, of which it is unnecessary hereto give a detail,:d description, having so recently had occasion to do so on its production at the Surrey Theatre. The opera, which. was well received throughout, was followed by Foote's fa vourite face of the Mayor of Garratt, in which Donlon, whose entree was heartily cheered,once more appeared upon these boards in the character of Major Sturgeon. He ac quitted himself very satisfactorily in this, one of his most popular impersonations, as also did the benefriare, in his unrivalled performance of Jerry Sneak. The evening's entertainments concluded with the ballet of the Daughter of the Danube, in which Master Marshall performed Wieland's part of the Imp with fair success—no inarduous undertaking, after the eminent success of the great original. HAYMARKET. Last night, after Mr. C. Kean's performance of Richard the Third, which drew a very crowded house, a. new onc act farce was produced here called the Organ of Order. Its two principal characters are Mr. Primshaw ( Far ren), a very piccise gentleman, who is not a little proud of posessieg a strong development of the phrenological organ wbi,•!a gives the title to the piece, and Prankley ( Strickland), a next door lodger, a great lover of fun, and withal a great practied joker. The former is about to go, to an evening party, previous to which he gives "a spice of his quality," by adjusting his dress with the greatest nicety, and vatting the furniture of his aoartment in the most exact order, whilst the latter, during his absence, alters the numbers of every door of the street in which they both reside, The consequences may be easily imagined; Prim shaw returts, and, guided by the number, takes possession of Prankley's apartme n t i n m i s t a k e f or hi s own , an d i n vain searching for his lucifers is unable to detect the blunder. Whilst in this dilemma he is visited by a Madame Rosig nol (Mrs. Fi:z.villiam), occupying the apartment above, who has concerted with Prankley to return with him to Boulogne, in order to release her husband from prison, he having kindly consented to advance her a sum for that purpose. The hoaxer at this juncture returns, in fulfilment of his appointment, whilst his wife ( Mr 6 * Danson), who has suddenly arrived from the country. emerges from an inner room, where she had retired to rest. An eclaireissentent necessarily ensues, and the its earlier somewhat abruptly, an d, b ecause we thoug h t earlier scenes gave better promise, somewhat unsatisfac torily concludes. The author of this trifle, whose name did not transpire, i s great l y i n d e b te d for its success (for it met with no dissent) to the exertions of the performers. more particularly to Messrs. Farren and Strickland, and to Mrs. Fitzwilli am . All o f them had parts unworthy Of their talents, but they gave them hearty and successful support. Mrs. Fir zw illi am sang a " French melange , t‘ Eh much taste, and was encored, and Farren gave the piece out for f u t ure representat i on, amidst the applause o f the audience. It should be noticed, perhaps, that Strick land dressed his part in exact imitation of the plump dandy in Jones's popular print of " The First of April." SURREY. Last night became a sort of epoch in the history of this establishment, in consequence of the appearance on the Surrey boards of the veteran Braham, in his popular, character of C ount B e li no, i n A rnold ' s opera of T h e Devil's Bridge. CHARGE AGAINST A PHYSICIAN.—On Niondly evening an investigation, which occupied upwards of three hours, took place at the Carpenter's Arms public house in Bridport.place, New North.road, Hoxton, before Mr. Baker, relative to the death of Mr. William Whit bread, aged 68, which was supposed to have been occa sioned by an operation lately performed on him by Dr. Turnbull, of Russell-square. It appeared that the de ceased, who was in the enjoyment of good health up to that time, had an operation performed upon him on Thursday week by the above physician, which consisted in passing tubes up the nostrils so as to admit of some fluid, for the relief of excessive deafness, under which he had been for some time labouring. Almost immediately after he was attacked with a violent swelling in the throat, and though the utmost attention had been paid to him, he ex pired on Thursday Isst. Mr. Wickham, a medical gen tleman in the neighbourhood, deposed that, on making a post mortenz examination of the body, be found that the in flammation in the throat was not sufficient to have occa sioned the death of the deceased; death was produced by extensive inflammation of the brain, which, in his opinion, Ives occasioned by natural causes, and that neither the ope ration, nor the inflammation of the throat, had anything to do with it. The jury, on this evidence, returned a verdict of " Natural death by the visitation of God." The in quiry created considerable interest in the neighbourhood. The Honourable C. A.

I lit SILK CROP.---WC have accounts from Milan to the 6th inst. The transactions in silk bad been 1 more active on the part of the foreign merchants, who either were not able or not willing to wait for the new crop. Our mercantile advices from Genoa state that tho intelligence respecting the silk crop continued good, and if the fine weather then experienced continued, it was expected a very abundant crop would bo realized. The business in silk was completely stagnant and the prices nominal. ofll t' bee t tithe loan ofa Ritn tc 31r. Bar t o i , Sue
