The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinay beauty sad fidelity of delinea tion,euid 3ve unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust; it should be seen 1 A the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa- Cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mondays, Tues. days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays conoucted uy Mr. Godfrey , are up , n a scale of more than usual excellence; but words fail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearthl characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Art, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that e.outbby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the moat perfect state, mid combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis.

In the House of Lords a brief conversation, begun by the - Marquis of CLANRICARDE, took place relative to the proceedings at Otaheite. Lord ABERDEEN said all these proceedings must have taken place with out'the slightest knowledge of the French Govern ment;, and he had reason to believe that the unfor tunate affair would be arranged without any serious consequences. He believed that at the present mo ment Queen POMARE was restored to full power. The Railways Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time this day. The Poor-law Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The House adjourned at an early hour. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock, when the Savings Banks Bill was pa sse d. The House went into Committee on the Presby terian Marriages Bill, and all the clauses were agreed to. The Bishop of London's Estate Bill was read a third time and passed. This is a very susp u ous /Aware, es will be seen from the Parliamentary report. Sir J. GRAHAM moved the order of the day for going into Committee on the Charitable Bequests Bill. The Bill went into Committee, when a lengthened discussion and several divisions took place. Clauses up to l 9 were agreed to, the House re , suFteckthe Chairman reported progress, and obtained r iEN: S lellie-t.cosit again this day. r business on the paper was then disposed of, and 4-louse adjourned at a Quarter-past Eleven. Th•' bitiness of dog-stealing, as carried on in this mighty - zwitropolis of ours, where talent of every sort abounds in _profusion, is, if we may believe the 11004 of the Parliamentary Committee on the sub leetOwnot 5 . 0 mach a trade 113 4 wienve—and .science, too, that requires, on the part of its professors, the utmost tact, readiness, self-possession, and knowledge of character. A man may be a very excellent lawyer, who would make a very indifferent dog stealer ; but the latter, if he be an adroit prac titioner, is already in possession of many of the re quisites that tend to establish the reputation of the former. The legal system of " refreshers" seems to be thoroughly understood and appreciated by the honourable and ancient fraternity of dog-stealers. An experienced professor purloins one of those inoffen sive quadrupeds; straightway negotiations are opened for its recovery, but the sum being deemed insufficient, its abductor makes a point of forgetting to return it— in the hurry and multiplicity of business, how could he be expected to remember such a trifle ?—and it is not until his memory is jogged by a " refresher" in the shape of an increased offer, that he recals the whole circumstances of the case, and returns the kid napped animal to its legitimate owner. The negotia tions respecting these " refreshers" are sometimes very edifying, and if they do not come up to the just ex pectations of the professor, he pockets the affront, but, as a matter of course, the dog is stolen again. Cap tain ALEXANDER, as appears by the Report, has paid at various times not less than twenty-two pounds—his Royal Highness the Duke of CAM BRIDGE, not less than thirty pounds—and Miss BETHELL not less than ten pounds, for the recovery of their canine property ! Mr. Bis Hop, an intelli gent man, whose evidence is well worth reading, has given the Committee some curious particulars eluci datory of the science of dog-stealing, and mentions, in particular, the case of a lady whose dog was twice stolen, restored, and re-stolen, which so alarmed her sensitive nature, " that she has since then left Eng land "—adds the deponent—" and I really do believe for the sake of keeping the dog. She has left the country because she could make more of a certainty of keeping the animal in foreign parts than in Eng land, if that was not the sole cause of her leaving. She prayed for the time to come when she might leave this country, which she has done, and taken the dog with her !" This excess of sensibility is really very touching, and we can imagine the holy fervour with which the fair peti tioner offered up her prayers to Providence for the preservation of her four-footed favourite. But con ceive a lady self-exiled from her native home on ac count of a pet lap-dog! Separated by seas and con tinents from her friends, her relations, her acquaint ances—and all by reason of her nervous apprehensions for the safety of "Beauty," "Chloe," "Fanny," or whatever else may be the dog's patronymic ! This solicitude may possibly appear to many of our readers exceedingly amiable and virtuous,but to our thinking, it savours not a little of the maudlin. We would far rather see a tear drop from a fair lady's eye for the sufferings of the poor and the friendless—and more especially for the helpless, over-tasked, under-paid, and under-fed milliners' apprentices, than for a mere lap-dog, however exemplary the qualities possessed by this darling quadruped. And here, while on the subject of dog-stealing, we cannot but express our astonishment that the professors of this science have never yet been tempted to vary their practice, and turn their attention to man-stealing. Much might be done in this line, and a very handsome competency achieved by it, if carried on with due skill and spirit. Imagine, for instance, Sir J. GRAHAM kidnapped from Downing street by a party of ingenious practitioners, and safe locked in a coal-shed, till a reward was adver tised for his recovery ! Can any one doubt the im mense sums that would be immediately offered by his anguished colleagues for his ransom ? Why, the very paupers in the union workhouses throughout the kingdom would,. in the excess of their gratitude, subscribe each his mite; and the remainder of the demand would no doubt be cheer fully made up by Messrs. DUNCOMBE and MAZZINI! We throw out this suggestion—having no immediate intention of acting on it ourselves—for the benefit of expert practitioners in dog-stealing ; for they may rely on it that were they to enlarge the sphere of their operations, and experimentalise on the Home Secretary instead of on ladies' lap-dogs, not twenty-four hours would elapse from the period of the Right Honourable Baronet's abduction, but the following advertisement would appear conspicuously in the Times,- Post, and Stu' newspapers :—" Lost, stolen, or strayed, a stout middle-aged gentleman, answering to the name of GRAHAM. Whoever will restore him to his discon late owner, Sir ROBERT PEEL, shall receive a reward of ten thousand pounds, payable out of the Income 'tax. N.B. The last time the missing individual was seen in public, he was peeping into a private letter at the General Post-office." Verbum sap. According to accounts from Madrid of the 25th ultimo, an alarming commotion took place in the capital on the previous night, but the cause of it is not explained. The whole garrison were suddenly summoned to arms. The Puerto del Sol and Post office were occupied by regiments of cavalry and infantry, and patrols and picquets watched every part of the capital, through the streets of which the authorities, civil and military, had been seen hasten ing with great anxiety. Some reports state that all this display was in consequence of a communication from NARVAEZ, that a republican plot was about to break out—a very probable occurrence. PrivatE letters announce a probable change of Ministry, and the downfal of the Dictator. One of them thus con cludes :—" Be assured that though we have had several years of civil war, the revolution has not commenced." The Bourse was closed on the 25th. Dispatches and private letters have been received from Otaheite at Paris, giving numerous details of the disturbances there, and the expulsion of Mr. PRITCHARD, the English Consul. The contents of the dispatches had not transpired, but nearly all the let ters thrciw the blame on the English. The remarks of the writers, however, and the conclusions to which they come, must be received with caution. They betray a strong feeling against this country, and absurdly assert that our Government attaches great importance to the occupation of the islands by the French, and infer that underhand means are adopted to deprive th2m of the protectorate. They throw the entire blame on Mr. PRITCHARD, and assert that he had formed a plan for a general insurrection against the French. The following is an extract from one of the letters, dated March 19th, and in the state ments which it contains most of the other writers concur : " If we wanted any proof of the great importance attached to Otaheite by the English, we need only refer to the at tempts made by them to impede our occupation, since we took possession of the island. Mr. Pritchard, the missionary, who acted as English Consul, at once protested against our occupation. This example was soon followed by Queen Po mare, and she withdrew to an English vessel, to remain un der the protection of the English flag. An insurrection, of which Pritchard was the ringleader, was then organised. He represented the French to the natives as an insignificant people, whom a great chief had long led to victory, but that the English had at last placed that great leader in chains, to prevent further disorder. - He declared also that a vast fleet would soon arrive from England, and burn the French ships at the islands. Proclamations announcing these fine things were placarded ; and, as soon as they appeared, the inhabi tants of the peninsula of Taiaraba, either more credulous or more courageous than the rest, took up arms. The Go vernor himself got on horseback, and endeavoured to put down this revolt at its commencement, but the insurgents marched ic,n Papeiti, and were constantly increased by real conter;cs from the neighbouring islands. The chiefs who were most devoted to us then declared that their wives a-A children would not beLsafe, if they remained longer near us. Whilst the Governor was endeavouring to put down the insurrection which was extending round the island, and approaching towards the centre of our establish ments, news was brought that 3,000 armed men were at about three hours' march from Papeiti, which they proposed to take and burn. The rain fell in torrents, which circum stance would tend to baffle part of their plans, but it would also render it difficult for our troops to use their fire-arms. The Commandant of the Society Island, M. d'Aubigny, was informed of this intended attack, and at once declared the bay in a state of siege; the other energetic measures taken under the circumstance, and executed with vigour, proved to the insurgents, and to those who incited them, that they had no mercy to expect from us in case of a sanguinary struggle. In the afternoon of the 3d of March we expected to be attacked; all our measures of defence had been taken, the plain of Papeiti had been cleared of all the trees which might impede the firing of the soldiers and the marines who had been landed ; at five o'clock in the evening Mr. Pritchard was at the landing-place ready to escape in an English boat to the Cormorant steam-vessel, when the, chief of the police arrested him as the instigator of the disor ders. He was immediately placed in confinement in a blockhous e , an d the Commandant d'Aubigny, in an order of the day, declared that his head and his property should be guarantees for what might take place. On the 19th of March, the day on which I write, we are still on the defensive, but tranquillity appears assured. The Go vernor has returned from Calaraba ; Pritchard is exiled, and the English steamer has been requested to keep at a dis tance. Queen Pomare is still here on board an English cut ter, and must at length despair of ever returning with her perfidious advisers to this laud which she has so foolishly abandoned. " We apprehend that not much reliance can be placed on these assertions. Sir ROBERT PEEL would not have denounced the conduct of the French autho. rities, in regard to the English Consul, as " a gross outrage, accompanied by a gross indignity," without information on which he could implicitly trust. Most of the papers refer to the unfortunate acci dents which occurred on Monday. Those of the Opposition blame the police for allowing such vast crowds to assemble in one spot, and assert that the numbers killed and wounded are far more numerous than the authorities are willing to admit. A Toulon letter states that the vessels which are to proceed to Cherbourg, in order to escort the KING to England, will be the Ocean, commanded by Admiral PARSEVAL, and the Inflexible, by Captain GRAEB. Another letter says that twenty squadrons of ca valry, and twelve battalions of infantry, are to be successively embarked for Algeria. The Journal des Debats has a long article on the state of crime in France, in order to show that a great moral improvement is-. going on throughout the country. The following extract will be read with interest : " The account of the year 1841 shows a considerable dimi nution in the number of crimes compared with the four pre ceding years. This decreasing movement has continued during the year 1842. In 1840, the number of defended causes tried by the Courts of Assize was 6,004 ; in 1841, 5,528 ; and in 1842, 5,104, showing a reduction of 900, or nearly a sixth part during the two years. Another progress not less remarkable is that, in 1841, the decrease only bore on attempts against property, the number of crimes against the person having on the contrary increased. But in 1842 both crimes had decreased in nearly equal proportions. A third result still more striking is, that the number of pri soners comprised in the cases tried in 1842 was but 6,953, being 509 less than in 1841, and 1,273 less than in 1840. It will be necessary to go back to 1834 to find so small a num ber of persons accused of crimes. The cause of this ameliora tion is the power given to the jury, by the law of 1832, to find extenuating circumstances. Whatever may be the particular instances of abuse which arise from this system, its salutary effects must be admitted to be incontestible. It is this tempering of the law which quiets the consciences of the jury, at a time when everything is decided and regulated by a middle course. It is a support given by the law to the mildness of our manners, to that sentiment of humanity which inspires us with a feeling of invincible horror for irre parable rigours, and tends more and more to substitute tem porary inflictions for capital or perpetual punishments. Thanks to this expedient, justice is less rigorous and less pitiless, but at the same time more sure and more firm." THE BOURSE-WEDNESDAY, JULY 31. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

MARSEILLES, JULY 29, 1844. The French steamer, La Ville de Paris, entered this port at five o'clock, A.M. Captain Double, orderly officer, attached to Marshal Soult, came as passenger with dispatches from General Bugeaud. Marshal Bugeaud informs his Government that he had received dispatches from the Emperor of Morocco, to the effect that he had ordered the Calipha who had attacked the French troops to be put into chains, and to be placed at the dis posal of Marshal Bugeaud. The Marshal replied that he should refuse receiving the prisoner until he had received further instructions from his Government and that, in the meantime, he should continue hos tilities against the Emperor. Marshal Bugeaud, on the 22d current, had his head quarters at three leagues from Ouchda, and was continuing to burn the villages and destroy the crops on the Morocco territory. The same day (22d) the Marshal sent dispatches of a most pressing nature to the Prince de Joinville. The French army is well provided with provisions, and in high spirits. Captain Double quitted Oran on the evening of the 22d. THIS - DAYS NEWS. HONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The accounts from India attract the chief attention this morning, and as it is evident that Lord Ellenborough was still going on with his belligerent policy, his return is considered likely to be very beneficial in once more turning the atten tion of the inhabitants to agricultural and internal improve ments, the very.objects which his Lordship professed to have almost exclusively in view. The markets of India and China were not very active, but a moderate business was doing. Complaints were made at Calcutta of the delay in the arrival of the outward mail, and the additional expense to which the parties receiving letters were subjected, owing to the defective arrangements of the London Post-office. We trust that arrangements since made here will obviate this. There are advices to June 13 from Rio de Janeiro. The new tariff, it seems, was still expected to come into operation in November.

MAgKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. Only moderate supplies of English Wheat have been re ceived up to our market this week, yet the stands were tolerably well filled with samples of that grain. Fine qualities mostly found buyers, at full prices ; biit the Value of other kinds was barely supported. In Foreign Wheat, titiwAtda of 47,000 quarters of which have been released this week, previous to the rise in the duty to 18s per quarter, was a mere drug, and almost nominal in value. Grinding Barley was is per quarter lower. In other kinds no alteration occurred, notwithstanding the large imports from abroad. In Malt next to nothing was doing. The Oat trade was very dull, at a decline of 6d per quarter. In other articles no variation. ARRIVALS. Wheat. r,2rley. I Oats. Flour English. 4,120 qrs. 318 'lO qrs. 2,99osacks.

On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proceeded to explain its principal provisions. The provisions branched into three different heads, each of which required a separate and distinct consideration. The first part of the Bill related to the amendment of the law of cessio bonorum ; the second, and, undoubtedly, the most important part, proposed to abolish imprisonment for debt in executions under 201. ; and the remaining part of the Bill introduced some amendments into the machinery of the Court , of Bankruptcy. It was his conscientious conviction that the measure would be found ex t reme ly b ene fi c i a l. It had been stated, as en objection to the measure, that it , would injure the humbler classes of society by diminish ing the facility of credit, but he was rather inclined to doubt whether that was a good objection. For although it might, in some cases, be of advantage to people in humble circumstances to get credit, it was more generally attended by consequences quite the reverse of advan tageous.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman then proceeded to read several passages frdm the evidence taken before a Committee of the House on the subject, tending to show that the abolition of imprisonment for debt - would not have the effect of abolishing bona fide credit, but only of making trades men more careful. Mr. Dampier, who presided over the Stannaries Court, in Cornwall, and had jurisdiction over one hundred thousand persons in cases of small debts, but who had no power of ordering the imprisonment of debtors, gave it as his opinion that the abolition of im prisonment for debt would only have the effect of making tradesmen more careful. Any possible injury which might arise from this Bill, was not to be weighed in the balance against the evils inflicted by the present system. Had the House read the evidence on this subject ? (hear, hear.) They read of six or seven persons con tined in a dungeon, with nothing but straw to lie upon. When this Bill was objected to on the ground of mercy to the debtor, he asked them to consider the evils attending the system of imprisonment. —(llear, hear.) What benefit was it to the creditor to be able to incarcerate the body of his miserable debtor ? Was the debtor any more likely to pay what he owed ? Certainly not ; for the class of persons affected by the ' Bill had not the means of doing so. In the arguments against this Bill he had not been able to discover any which were entitled to consideration, except that to which he had adverted ; and after what he had stated, he trusted the measure would be allowed to go into Committee. Mr. M. PHILIPS did not mean to stand up as an advocate of imprisonment for debt, but complained that he had not had sufficient time to communicate with his constituents on the subject. He also thought they would disturb the operations of credit if they passed such a measure as this, without having explained it more fully to the public at large. There ought to be more cauti on in legislating on such a subject, and he thought he was not asking too much when he required a little delay. Mr. S. WORTLEY felt himself in some degree in the same position as the Hon. Member for Manchester. There had not been sufficient time to consider all the consequences of this measure. He had that morning re ceived a petition from Sheffield, stating that the peti tioners were creditors to no less an amount than 40,000 i., which would be affected by this Bill. Undoubtedly the Bill was sanctioned by the highest legal authorities of the other House. But Hon. Members had not before them the evidence on which the Bill had been founded, and he thought when a Bill came down to them at the very end of July, they ought not to be called on to pass it at the beginning of August in the absence of those legal Members, who were alone able to judge of the effect of its intricate and technical language. He could not but express the strongest opinion that they ought not precipitately to pass such a measure. Mr. AGLIONBY also objected to passing such a measure so late in the session, and without discussion. He concurred with the two Hon. Members who had preceded him. Such hasty legislation was most inconve nient and injurious. It ought to have been brought in earlier in the session, and at any other time than a morning sitting. He protested against its being sup posed that those who opposed the Bill wished to keep unfortunate debtors in prison. He objected to the 36th clause. He thought if all power over the person was relinguished, it would operate unfavourably to the working classes, by diminishing the disposition to give tcredit. Many descriptions of workmen being thrown out of work during portions of the year were enabled to obtain credit during that time on the security of their wages in the period in which they are employed. But the inclination to give this credit would be di.ninished ; nor in its present shape did the Bill give any increased power over the goods. This would tend to diminish the business of the Courts of Requests, as persons would not apply to them alien they could only give judgment against the goods which in many cases would be of no avail. On the whole, balancing the evils of both systems, he thought the abolition of the power over the person would act injuriously on the working classes. He should not oppose the Bill on ge neral principle, but he must object to the time at which it was brought in, and to some of its details. Mr. SPOONER fully agreed with all that had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Member. He admitted that the learned Solicitor-General had made an able and powerful appeal to their feelings—one which it was difficult to resist. But they must legislate from judg ment, and not from impulse. He thought the Bill would injure the working classes, by restricting the amount of credit they now obtained. Again, why make the mea sure a partial one? If imprisonment for debt was wrong in principle, why not abolish it in all cases? Why should they take from the small shopkeeper a remedy which they still continued to the rich merchant and manufacturer? Feeling that great practical evils would be the result of this measure, he must press on the Go vernment the necessity of some delay, Sir J. GRAHAM, alluding to what had been said about the absence of Members of the legal profession, said if the principle was laid down that the House was only to legislate when they were present, it must give up legislating at all for four months out of the six. The early part of the session was always occupied by the great annual struggle for power, and practical legislation did not commence till after Whitsuntide, and soon after that came the summer circuit. Both in the spring and summer circuits they were deprived of the presence of the legal Members, who were only present during the great annual contest he had alluded to. In their absence the House must use its judgment and common sense, and do without common law as well as it could.—(Hear, hear.) He traced the progress of the measure through the Upper House, and read the opinions of the Commissioners who had reported on the subject, to show that public attention had been sufficiently called to the question. Nor was experience wanted in the matter. In Scotland arrest for debt was unknown, and they had the recorded opinion of several commissioners of local courts that a power over the goods for debt was quite sufficient, reserving the power of imprisoning for fraud, or for any other misdemeanour. The power of issuing writs of capias had never been possessed by the old county courts nor by local courts until the middle of the last century, when in a local Act for a small debt court in the county of Midddlesex, the power of imprisonment was given that had been gradually extended by several local Acts, but it had never been authorised by any general statute. One of the Commissioners had stated it as his opinion that this power of imprisonment ought to be abolished. He was willing to admit that for the benefit and advantage of the labouring classes credit was indispensable, but he thought the system of credit, and the recovery of small debts in Scotland was preferable to that in England. The Hon. Member for Birmingham had quoted that town as an example, and had said that for the sake of the working classes them selves they ought not to abolish imprisonment for small debts. Now he was asked why he, who had proposed t o con tin ue the power of imprisonment for small debts by the County Courts Bill, should now pro pose the abolition of imprisonncent for small debts. He would tell the House the reason which induced him to consider that this power ought not to be continued for even six weeks longer, and Birmingham would not be for gotten. ktm PrZAXING.)

Elizabeth Garrett, a well-dressed female, was charged before Mr. Traill with an intent to commit suicide, by throw ing herself off the parapet of Waterloo-bridge. Mr. Wooden, of Francis-place, said he was passing over Waterloo-bridge about ten o'clock last night, when his at tention was attracted by the extraordinary conduct of the prisoner, who took off her shoes, and commenced singing, dancing, and making a great noise, which induced him to think that she was drunk. Suddenly, however, the prisoner burst out into a violent fit of crying, and immediately jumped on the parapet of the bridge, and was in the act of throwing herself off, when witness and his friend ran to her assistance, and was just in time to save her from jumping into the river. In answer to some questions put to her, the prisoner said " she was tired of her life ; a villain had deceived her, and she would see if there were not better inhabitants in the un known world." A policeman was sent for, and the prisoner given into custody. The prisoner gave no explanation of her conduct to Mr. TRAILL, the Magistrate, who ordered her to find bail for her good conduct in the sum of 201. for three months. The prisoner was locked up in default. BRUSSELS, JULY 30.—A letter from Verviers of the 29th July, says, yesterday about two o'clock in the morning M.

The loss is estimated at 100,000 francs.

It is a rather singular circum stance, that the. man French, with whom Alfred had co habited, went on Wednesday morning to the union to visit his father, who is inmate of the house. At that time, he was wholly unacquainted with what had occurred, but when he heard the facts , he hurriedly left the house, and has not been seen in the neighbourhood since.

It appeared that the de ceased arrived at her sister's residence in Garden-street, Brompton, on Sunday last, from_ Limehouse, at which place the deceased's husband resides, and who is a blacksmith. The deceased appeared to be in great distress of mind, caused by her husband's ill-treatment, and she told her sister, Mrs. Cannard, that she was obliged to leave her husband, for she could not remain with him any longer ; that he did not know where she was, as she left him lying on the bed in a state of intoxication.
