Painted by Danson and Telbin. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are 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 segn in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and StZeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Men 'ays, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doingjustice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful ch iracteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, his achieved a matchless triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis. reeding of the Animals at Five—Concert at Six--Conflagration at Dusk.

The friends of peace will rejoice to learn that the influence of that meddling and unprincipled func tionary, Mr. TYLER, who became President of the United States by accident, is entirely annihilated. In order to pave the way for his election to the chair, and partly, alSo; from hatred and jealousy of England, he 'proposed to the Senate a scheme for an nexing Texas to the already enormous territory of the Republic. That body, after mature deliberation, rejected the measure by a majority of 35 to 16. Nothing abashed by this marked defeat he draws up a long palaver, in order to try what he can do with the representives of the people. Being aware that all the northern States looked upon the scheme with great distrust and even alarm, on ac count of the additional power which it would give to the southern and slave-holding States, he meets them half-way, and proposes, through one of his agents in the Senate, to take Texas into the union on two con ditions—to divide that vast district into two portions to be called South-Western and North-Western Texas, an d to pro hibit th e existence of slavery for ever in the latter. Doubting the effect of this tricky device, he tries to alarm the commercial portion of the representatives by the following vague statement:— " Nothing has occurred to weaken, but on the contrary, p 9 fi tt m my 'confidence in the statements of Ge neral .‘itair, and my own statement made in a message to PAlgress, in the belief, amounting almost to a certaintyk that instructi ons h ave a l rea dy b een ...T given by the exan Government to propose to the qevernment i±tt Great Britain, forthwith, on the failure of the "treaty, to enter into a treaty of coin _ merce awl alliance, offensive and defensive." lie urges also that as England consolidated the Heptarchy, and annexed Scotland and Ireland, she can have no right to object to the modest proposal which, to use his own words, would duplicate the exports of the country—thereby making an addition to the carrying trade to an amount almost incalculable, and giving a new impulse of immense importance to the commer cial, manufacturing, agricultural, and shipping inte rests of the union ; thus including all trades, and en deavouring to work upon the fears and jealousies and interests of the whole community. All, however, was in vain; the House would not "hearken to the voice of the charmer, charming never so cun ningly." They would not even entertain the ques tion, and the motion that the message do lie upon the table was rejected by a majority of 118 to 86. Nays what is more, a motion simply for printing 1,500 copies of this precious document was negatived by a majority of 29. This seals the fate of Mr. JOHN TYLER, and announces the gratifying fact, that the great body of the representatives of the people will not back a desperate adventurer, who, for his own selfish purposes, broaches a scheme that might anni hilate, in place of increasing, their commerce, and de stroy the peace of the world. The " Arcades ambo,"—the twe " Right Honour able" Baronets,—the First Lord and the First Secre tary of her MAJESTY'S Administration,—the inge nuous Sir ROBERT and the high-spirited;Sir JAMES— were permitted a special benefit, on Friday, in the House of Commons. In the course of their amusing performances they abundantly proved to an admiring audience that they were " et cantare pares, et respon dere parati." It was a moot point with the House whether the " small-singing" of Sir ROBERT PEEL, or the " answers" of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, were most to be commended. For this impromptu divertissement, the public are indebted to a clever " scene," adroitly got up by a clever person. Mr. B. COCHRANE rose to animadvert on the course adopted by the Government with re ference to the business before the House. The new Bill for the amendment of the poor-law was to have been brought on, upon the preceding evening; but had been deferred, he presumed, to make way for a discussion which had not been sufficiently proceeded with on the new " Bank Charter Bill." To him (Mr. COCHRANE) it appeared that the Bank Charter Bill might with propriety be postponed, arid the Poor law Bill be taken (as last night) immediately after the debate on the Dissenters Chapels Bill. Hon. Members who had waited in town expressly for the further debate on the Poor-law Bill, were much in convenienced by its continued delay. It ha - I been first brought into that House, in this session, on the Bth February last ; since which period week after week had passed without any further progress being made in it, and things were in the same position with regard to it as they had been in February. Let us observe, in passing, on this statement of Mr. B. COCHRANE, that his case would have been still stronger against the Government if he had charged them with the wanton and deliberate obstruction of public business, by having introduced any such Bill as the Bank Charter Renewal Bill. Ministers must have been aware, when they brought it in, that, either it must be " shot" through the House (on the atmos pheric railway principle) without opportunity, moral or physical, for considering its enactments at all ; or that it could receive scarcely the cursory considera tion which gentlemen might manage to devote to it, amidst the stormy personalities of half a dozen evenings in Committee. Sir ROBERT PEEL then took the leading part in the Bucolic of the evening; and DAM ETAS himself could not have piped—his own praises in the first place, and his pastoral longings in the second—with more touching abandonment. " He sympathised heartily with Hon. Gentlemen who were kept away from the country. He longed to be there as much as any one." We don't doubt it. Having committed so many monster blunders in his monetary legisla tion, he may well feel it to be high time that he should get away to look after his Birmingham Bulls, i of which he sang so blithely to the Menalcases of Tamworth the other day. But he may reckon on a little more baiting yet, in his own person, if we mis take not, before he quits the "Imperial City." No -1 thing, however, was further from his own thoughts than any such ugly anticipation. With a "good boy" gravity worthy of his earliest days on the lower forms at Harrow School—he thus pleaded the good behaviour of himself and his class-fellows :—" . Honourable Members would recollect that the Members of her MAJESTY'S Go vernment had attended that House, for some time past, each day from five o'clock till half-past one upon the average." The plausible Premier (who evidently thinks in the jargon of his currency crotchets, that the " measure" of his hours of Parliamentary atten dance is the true " standard of the value" of his Ministerial labours) went on to show that it was in dispensable to proceed with all possible dispatch with the new Sugar Duties Bill—the present Act expiring on the Bth of next month—and he appealed to Mr. COCHRANE whether the Bank Charter Bill " was not a measure of great importance ? It was necessary that measure should be carried, in order to put down commercial speculation. He thought it a measure .. .quite as important as the Poor-law Bill." One cannot pass over this remark without marvelling at the inconceivably unphilosophical spirit, the unpractical views—with which Sir R. PEEL has ventured to propound his abominable Bank Charter Bill. He talks of " commercial speculation" as if it were, per se, an unmitigated social or political evil! Has it ever occurred to him to ask where his own patrimonial fortune would have been but for the " commercial speculation " of his most public-spirited and unavari cious father, the first Sir ROBERT PEEL ? Does his fatuity blind him to the fact, that, without the whole some, informing, invigorating spirit of " commercial speculation," the foreign trade of this country would be as contracted and as worthless as—what " stan dard" of deterioration shall we select for our compari son ?—say—as his own currency system. We begin to believe in the truth of the surmises long enter tained, that Sir ROBERT the Second is as much in favour of a vast, usurious, unfeeling, sordid speculation in the monopoly of money, as he is opposed to that fair and wealth-dffrusing "com mercial speculation," in the legitimate profits of which his sire, with the blessings of all who dealt or were acquainted with him, to the wrong of no man or body of men, and with the good will of that common country to which he was an honour—laid wide and deep the foundations of his princely fortune who would now extinguish the original sources of his patrimony ! Then the Premier talked about the ad vantage of proceeding with the Bills at once, as they came before the House, " for after an in terval of four or five weeks they returned to the subject like giants refreshed, and the subject was debated over again." Of course among these "giants refreshed," Sir ROBERT intends to pourtray himself de scending from BELLAMY'S, or entering, wine -warmed, from Whitehall-gardens. If so, we are again curious to know what can be his "standard" or "measure" for gigantic intellect. The unhappy little people who are personally interested in every line of the enact ments to be comprehended in the New Poor law Amendment Bill, must be at once flattered and gratified by the low figure at which he places that measure on his sliding scale of comparative importance. All this was ridiculous enough; but to do Sir ROBERT justice, there is a fund of simplicity about him which will develope it self, and redeeths many of his trickeries. Thus— speaking of the Irish Registration Bill—he ventured (surely ix utter unconsciousness of the sarcastic waggery he wa s _ playing off upon himself) to say, " He had given a rash pledge with regard to it, to meet the convenience of Irish. Members. He had found that pledge so inconvenient to redeem that it would make him exceedingl y cautious how he gave another!' At a subsequent hour of the even ing, it was agreed by Government not to press the Irish Regi s t rat i on Bill beyond a second reading. Coupling this - fact with about Irish Members, we have no doubt h e Ministersphrase never meant, notwithstanding all their professions, to carry through that Bill. It was a tub thrown to the whale ; an expedient to alarm and to disarm, for a convenient season, an inconvenient and powerful enemy. But the affectation of the Sir ROBER T PEEL of 1829, and 1835, finding any " lt difficu Y " about disposing of inconvenient pledges in 1844, is al most too ludicrous ! This was said, too, in the presence of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and without blush or qualification ! Then Mr. ROEBUCK asked whether the Ecclesias tical Courts Bill was to be proceeded with ? Si ROBERT could not at present say. We agree with Mr. ESCOTT, that it never could be satisfactorily dis posed of ; and therefore it were better at once with drawn. Lord JOHN RUSSELL having demanded what was to be done with the County Courts Bill, Sir J. GRAHAM, as the concluding effect of the piece, so lemnly announced, that on some day next week he would state definitively what measures Government would proceed with—what others they would not go on with. The Poor-law Amendment Bill, he could assure the House, her MAJESTY'S Mi nisters meant to press forward at the earliest opportunity. The remainder of this respandere movement was devoted to a recital of what the Right Hon. Secretary would have done, in certain events which had not happened, with certain Bills which are still to be disposed of. Upon the whole we shall only add—repeating our often asserted protest against the hurried, slovenly, and disreputable manner in which the House of Com mons is at all times too apt to burke or pitchfork its Bills towards the close of a session—the present Ministers in the present session of the present Parlia ment bid fair to surpass all their predecessors in this mischievous practice. The Paris Messager of Thursday evening publishes the following dispatch from General BUGEAUD to Marshal SOULT " Lalla Maghanin, June 16. " Mons. le Marechal—By my telegraphic dispatch you have already learned that I demanded of El Guennaoni, chief of the Marocains at Caid d'Oachda, an interview between him and General Bideau, in order to establish harmony between the two countries. The place of rendezvous was at three quarters of a league from my camp, upon the West Mouilah, and at four leagues from the Marocain camp. "At seven o'clock in the morning Guennaoni and General Bideau, accompanied by Captain Rioot and interpreters, met at the place mentioned. The Marocain chief displayed great force ; first 2,500 cavaliers, and then 2,000 cavaliers of the tribes, and 500 or 600 foot soldiers. " These fanatic and undisciplined soldiers approached the conference, and obliged Guennaoni to suspend the conference in order to suppress them ; but they succeeded in completely surrounding our envoys and fired upon our troops, who stood at a respectful distance from our Plenipotentiaries. Never was such insolence and barbarism witnessed. " I had only sent my cavalry and four battalions to the place of meeting, and their number was even reduced by those who were obliged to remain to guard the baggage and to cook. Having been informed by two officers, dispatched to me for the purpose, that shots had been fired, I ordered four other battalions under arms, and marched to the scene of action. I learned on my way that the conference was broken up, and saw our troops retiring, followed by numerous Moorish cavaliers, who fired upon our rear guard. I im mediately formed the eight battalions in echelon upon the centre. The cavalry at the point of the angles, ready to launch at the first signal. The centre battalion, upon which rested the others, was directed by the line which divided the Marocains in two bodies, so as to leave between us and the Mouilah a difficult passage of 1,200 metres (1,300 English yards). The enemy's infantry having disappeared, I sup posed that they ascended the little valley of the river, the more so as when they pushed forward the centre of their cavalry, their left rested upon my right flank, as if to protect the in fantry, which I thought were in the valley. I then ordered General Lamoriciere to charge his cavalry in echelons, and direct them obliquely on the right for some moments, and then suddenly make a tete de colonne on the left, and fall upon all he found between us and the Mouilah ; while six mountain pieces advancing should hold in check the centre and right of the enemy. Having done this, the cavalry was to re-form behind theechelons, passing behind the right wing. Colonel Jassaf, who commanded the first echelon, executed, with intelligence, this manoeuvre, and soon found himself in the midst of a great troop of cavaliers. Driving them with vigour, he encountered the infantry, over which he crossed, killing a great number. Soon he perceived that he had left behind upon his right a group of regular cavalry of about 500; but then his soldiers were scattered, cutting down ca valiers and foot soldiers.. The recal was sounded, but the horses were blown, and rallied with difficulty. "The echelons of infantry could not see this happy move ment on account of the dust, so arrived too slowly to concur in the destruction of the Moorish cavalry. The latter, seeing their danger, set off to regain their main body at the moment when Colonel Jassaf prepared for a charge. Our operations •could only have reached the rear of the flying enemy and killed some men. Colonel Jassaf himself took a standard. " The infantry had covered the cavalry from the right and centre of the enemy, so that the latter renounced all attempts and retired towards Ouchda." " This charge confers the greatest honour on Col. Jassaf." The affair, it will thus he seen, was more serious than was at first supposed, and cannot fail to cause much excitement in France. It was a deliberate act of treachery on the part of the Moors, and the French troops were saved only by the well-executed and speedy attack of Colonel JASSAP. The Marquis of ROVIGO, son of the Duke of ROVIGO, fell in the action. The accounts given in private letters corres pond with the dispatch, though it would appear from them that the alarm among the French troops at first was much greater than General BUGEAUD would admit. The French generals, according to one of these letters, " demanded that, for the future, Morocco should be forbidden to ARD-EL-KADER, who was to be immediately sent out of the Empire. They demanded, in addition, that the left bank of the Tafna should be henceforward recognised as belonging to France. On the first point they obtained complete satisfaction, and on the other it was agreed, after long discussions, to refer the matter to the decision of the diplomatic body. They had arrived at this point, when an un expected incident occurred to interrupt the interview. This was nothing else than the noise of musketry. The escort which had accompanied the two French Generals was sharply attacked by 5,000 of the enemy. At this unexpected violation of the truce agreed on for the meeting of the leaders, our soldiers were seized with such surprise that at first their ranks were thrown into disorder. Out flanked by the enemy, they began to retreat, and the audacity of the Morocco troops was increasing, with the hope of our defeat, when our men recovered from their surprise, and exhibited such coolness and courage as at once checked the enemy, and enabled our men to gain the advantage over these violators of the most sacred rights. The Morocco troops, who had advanced right in front of the French columns, at the head of which was the Marshal, paid dearly for their temerity. More than 300 of them remained on the field of battle, without reckoning those whom their comrades had time to carry away. Our loss was much less. We had only about thirty men wounded, of whom two were officers of Spahis, and six killed, amongst whom is the son of Gen. ROVIGO." The Sikle publishes a letter from M. LEON SATAYES, the intimate friend of the Marquis Captain Rom°, who was killed in the affair of the lath with the troops of Morocco. It states that the Spahis under the command of Captain RovxGo and another Captain, commenced the action. The Marquis Ro- VIGO was almost immediately struck by a ball in the heart, and fell dead. The other officer was wounded at the same moment, and remained in the power of the enemy. The deceased was a young officer of great promise. The - Chamber of Deputies was still engaged in discussing the Paris and Belgian Railway Bill. By that Bill, as proposed by the Government, there would be two branch lines—one to Boulogne, and another to Calais and Dunkirk ; the Boulogne line to strike off at Amiens; and the other at Ostricourt. The first line, as far as we can judge by the reports, was adopted ; and the other was under discussion on Thursday, at the hour of post. Great interest was caused in Paris by the trial of two persons for the murder of M. Dolsost CADOT, the banker at Pointoise. Their names are PIERRE ROUSSELET, a locksmith, and EDWARD DONON CA DOT, a son of the deceased, aged nineteen. The Court was occupied. the whole of Wednesday with the reading of the indictment, and examination of ROUSSELET, who repeated before the jury a confes sion which he had previously made, admitting that he had committed the murder, but solely at the in stigation of the son, who, on his examination, firmly denied the charge. The Court adjourned at eight o'clock till next day. THE BOURSE-THURSDAY, JuNK 27. First Highest Lowest Price. Price. Price. Price.

The .Heraldo thus accounts for this sudden step : " The journey of the Ministers could not be delayed. The situation of affairs is serious, not because perils surround the Government, but because the prospects and peace of the country depend upon the resolutions the Government is about to adopt. It was urgent that the Council of Ministers should be complete,'where her Majesty resides, in order to deliberate on various questions, to decide upon the dissolution of the Cortes, and adopt the measures which, within the limits of the exectitive power, may contribute to the consolidation of public order. The linister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis de Viluma, has not yet had an opportunity . of coming to an un derstanding with his colleagues. This circumstance rendered the Ministerial conference still more necessary, and it has been delayed but by the momentous financial question which, has just been decided to the public satisfaction. The Minis ters of Finances, Grace and Justice, the Interior, and Navy except to return to Madrid in the first days of July, espe cially if, as is hoped, the dissolution of the Cortes and convo cation of new. ones be determined upon. The electoral ope rations much required the presence at Madrid of a part of the Cabinet. M. Mon has also important operations to terminate with the holders of the centralised debt and the San Fer nando Bank. The meeting of Ministers at Barcelona was indispensable, in order to organise a fiscal situation of affairs." The Funds had fallen again nearly one per cent The Three per Cents. were done at 26/ for cash, and 27 3-16 at sixty days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20 for cash, and 20 at sixty days,, The High Bailiff of Westminster having fixed this day for the public meeting of the inhabi tants, to petition Parliament for justice to Ireland, the meeting will be held in Covent Garden at two o'clock this day. Many leading Liberal Members of Parliament have signified their intention of attending and taking a part in the proceedings, and public feeling will be displayed in a manner which must produce the very best results. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, JUNE 27.—The Session of the States- General was closed yesterday by his Excellency the Mi nister of the Interior, who addressed the Chambers in the following terms : " Noble and Mighty Lords, — The session which is about to close has produced a happy change in the pro vinces of the kingdom. " The consequences of the disastrous events which oc curred in the last year gave reason to entertain the most serious apprehensions for the financial interests of the kingdom. " But the perfect understanding that has prevailed between the Government and the Chambers, when it was necessary to agree on salutary measures, and, on the other hand, the exemplary co-operation of the nation in car rying them into execution, have opened to the country a cheering prospect. " The budget which has been recently adopted, the savings which have been made in the funds which were disposable for the last year, and the suppression of a considerable number of special funds, arc so many facts which bear witness to the zeal of the Government, not only in providing for the regular course of the affairs of the country, but also for the effectual improvement of its permanent interest. " The settlement of our financial interests has, however, required so much time, that it has not been possible to lay before you other important subjects of legislation. It has been necessary to confine ourselve to some special projects of law, most of which have met with your approbation. "Important matters are, therefore, reserved for you next session, besides others emanating from Art 6 of the Fundamental Law, and those on the tariff of import, ex port, and transit duties. "If the spirit of concord continues to prevail in the energetic efforts which we desire to make, in order to promote the interest of the country, we may hope for the most favourable result. In the name of the King, I de clare the present session of the States General to be closed." The Stuats Courant publishes a Royal decree relative to the disposal of the first instalment of the capital sum of eighty millions of florins, at 2 t per cent. interest, in scribed to the credit of the kingdom of the Netherlands in the Great Book of the kingdom of Belgium, conform ably to section G of Art. 63 of the treaty of sth Novem ber, 1842, COURT CIRCULAR.

PANORAMA, BAALBECK.—IiVe had much pleasure on Friday in examining a view of the magnificent ruins of the ancient metropolis, now Baalbeck in Syria, which was opened next day for the public at Burford's - Panorama, Lei cester-square. The picture has been painted with remark able care, from drawings executed-by 11Ir. Catherwood with the camera lucida, so that the spectator has before him a most faithful transcript of this vast scene. The ruins lie in a wide plain, girt by the chain of the Antilibinus eastward, and to the west by the Lebanon range, the snow-capped summit of the mountain itself towering above the others. The vast ruins of the chief temple, and the beautiful remains of the smaller edifices are finely represented, and the spectator will recognise among the general ruins specimens of archi tecture of several distinct ages. There are parts which are evidently the work of the Saracen, occupiers of the place, others of Greek and Roman origin, and others which the legend assigns to the architects of Solomon. Several gen tlemen who had visited these interesting ruins were present, among others, Sir Robert Inglis, who expressed his admira tion of the work, and said it was a perfect likeness. SACRED HARMONIC SOClETY.—Mendelssohn ' s ora• torio, St. Paul, was performed on Friday at Exeter Hall, under the composer's own direction, and the effect of his superintendence was sufficiently apparent in the accuracy of the performance, and the delicate shades of meaning which abounded in every part of it. It was evident that the So ciety had bestowed great care in its preparation. From the smoothness and clearness of the choruses, they must have been repeatedly rehearsed, and we never heard the instru mental band play so nicely together. The principal solo singers were Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Dolby, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. A. Novello, and Herr Staudigl, who alone was sufficient to stamp the character of the whole performance. His air, "0 God, have mercy on me," was given with a strength of expression of which no previous performer had given us any idea ; it was evidently.deeply felt by the audience. We have had such frequent occasion to speak of this noble composi tion, that it is unnecessary to enter into its merits ; it has, moreover, been so frequently heard, both in the metropolis and the provinces, that it is now well known to every lover of sacred music. We shall content ourselves therefore, with saying that its performance of last evening was in every way worthy of its greatness. Prince Albert, attended by his suite, was in the gallery near the orchestra. His Royal Highness had a score before him, and appeared to be taking a part in the choral harmony. On his entering the hall, he was loyally received ; and " God save the Queen," sung by that host of voices and instruments, had an affect which pro • bably was never given to it before. SHOREDITCII Cuuncir.--On Tuesday a meeting of the parishioners of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, which com menced at three o'clock and did not terminate until twelve o'clock at night, was held in the parish church for the pur pose of making q rate for the relief of the poor. As the parishioners entered the church, the Rev. Mr. Wicks, the Curate, was reading prayers, and after a lapse of a few minutes the service conclude& The conduct of the party was -- tumultuous throughout. The Chairman repeatedly called the meeting to order, amidst groans, yells, kicking against the pews, and cries of " Shame.") Mr. Pearce moved that a rate of Is. in the pound be made to meet the expenses. Mr. Thomas moved an amendment, that a rate of Bd. in the pound be granted. The amendment having been carried by a large majority, Mr. Pearce demanded a poll. The Chairman fixed the poll for Friday (yesterday). LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES SATURDAY MORNING. The Boston and Halifax Royal mail steamer Cale donia, Captain Lott, arrived here at one on Saturday morning, with ninety-nine passengers. She left Bos ton on the 16th, and Halifax on the 18th instant, and has therefore made the voyage in twelve days eight hours. The Texas treaty was rejected in the Senate, on the Bth instant, by a majority of 35 to 16 ; it would have required a majority of two-thirds to ratify it and it is thus rejected, by more than that majority' against it. The President had sent a message to Congress on the same subject, stating his views, and calling on that body to forward the Annexation Scheme. .He comments on the speeches of Lords Brougham and Aberdeen in the House of Lords. The motion that it do lie on the table was negatived by a majority of 118 to 86. A late arrival from Hayti announces that the rule of President Herard is at an end, and Guerrier Duc de Christophe is now President in his place. The following is the message of the President : PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The subjoined Message was sent to Congress this morning by the President of the United States. It will be seen by our readers that certain information (never yet published) was transmitted by the President to the Senate, some time since, in relation to the designs of Great Britain en Texas, and which was before that body when they rejected the Treaty. Our readers, and the people of the whole Union, will doubtless read this message with unusual interest, for it de mands their serious attention. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. To the House of Representatives of the United States : The Treaty negotiated by the Executive with the Republic of Texas, without a departure from any form of proceeding customarily observed in the negotiation of treaties, for the annexation of that Republic to the United States having been rejected by the Senate, and the subject having excited on the part of the people no ordinary degree of interest, I feel it to be my duty to communicate, for your consideration, the rejected treaty, together with all the correspondence and docu ments which have heretofore been submitted to the Senate in its Executive sessions. The papers communicated embrace not only the series already made public by order of the Senate, but others from which the veil of secrecy has not been removed by that body, but which I deem to be essen tial to a just appreciation of the entire question. While the treaty was pending before the Senate, 1 did not consider it incompatible with the just rights of that body, or consistent with the respect entertained for it, to bring this important subject before you.. The power of Congress is, however, fully competent, in some other form of proceeding, to accomplish every thing that a formal ratification of the treaty could have accomplished ; and I therefore feel that I should but imper fectly discharge my duty to yourselves or the country, if I failed to lay before you every thing in the possession of the Executive which would enable you to act with full light on the subject, if you should deem it proper to take any action upon it. I regard the question involved in these proceedings as one of vast magnitude, and addressing itself to interests of an elevated and enduring character. A republic coterminous in territory with our own—of immense resources, which re quire only to be brought under the influence of our confede rate and free system in order to be fully developed—pro mising at no distant day, through the fertility of its soil, nearly, if not entirely, to duplicate the exports of the country, thereby making an addition to the carrying trade to an amount almost incalculable, and giving a new impulse of immense importance to the com mercial, manufacturing, agricultural, and shipping in terests of the Union, and at the same time af fording protection to an exposed frontier, and placing the whole country in a condition of security and repose—a terri tory settled mostly by emigrants from the United States, who will bring back with them in the act of reciprocation an unconqueiable love of freedom and an ardent attachment to our free iristittftions. Such a question could not fail to in terest most deeply in its success, those who under the Con stitution have become.responsible for the faithful administra tion of public. affairs, ..I.laave regarded it as not a little for tunate that the 'question involved was no way sectional or local, but addresied.itse/f to the interests of every part of the country, and mit& its.way to the glory of the American name. It is due to the occasion to say, that I have carefully re considered the objections which have been urged to imme diate action upon the subject, without in any degree having been struck with their force. It has been objected that the measure of annexation should be preceded by the consent of Mexico. To preserve the most friendly relations with Mexico; to concede to her not grudgingly but freely all her rights ; to negotiate fairly and frankly with her as to the question of boundary; to render her, in a word, the fullest and most ample recompense for any loss she might convince us she had sustained, fully accords with the feelings and views the Executive has always entertained. But negotiations in advance of annexation would prove not only abortive, but might be regarded as offensive to Mexico, and insulting to Texas. Mexico would not, lam persuaded, give ear for a moment to an attempt at negotia tion in advance, except for the whole territory of Texas. While all the world besides regards Texas as an indepen dent power, Mexico chooses to look upon her as a re volted province. Nor could we negotiate with Mexico for Texas, without admitting that our recognition of her independence was fraudulent, delusive, or void. It is only after acquiring Texas, that the question of boundary can arise between the United States and Mexico, a question purposely left open for negotiation with Mexico, as affording the best opportunity for the most friendly and pacific arrangements. The Executive has dealt with Texas as a Power independent of all others, both de facto and de jure. She was an independent State of the Confederation of Mexican Republics. When, by violent re volution, Mexico declared the Confederation at an end, Texas owed her no allegiance, but claimed, and has main tained the right for eight years to a separate and. distinct position. During that time no army has invaded her with a view to her conquest, and if she has not yet established her right to be treated as a nation independent (4 ,facto and de jure, it would be difficult -to say at what period she will at tain to that condition. Nor can we, by any fair or legitimate inference, be accused of violating any treaty stipulations with Mexico. The treaties with Mexico gave no guarantee of any sort, and are co-exist ent with a similar treaty with Texas. So have we treaties with most of the nations of the earth, which are equally as much violated by the annexation of Texas to the United States, as they would by our treaty with Mexico. The treaty is merely commercial, and intended as the instrument for more accurately defining the rights and securing the in terests of the citizens of each country. What bad faith can be implied or charged upon the Government of the United States, for successfully negociating with an independent power, upon any subject not violating the stipulations of sit..ll treaty, I confess my inability to discern. The objections which have been taken to the enlargement of our territory were urged with much zeal against the acqui sition of Louisiana—and yet the futility of such has long since been fully demonstrated. Since that period anew Power has been introduced into the affairs of the world, which has, for all practical purposes, brought Texas much nearer to the seat of Government than Louisiana was at the time of its annexation. Distant regions are, by the application of the steam-engine, brought within a close proximity. With the views which I entertain on the subject, I should prove faithless to the high trust which the Constitution has devolved upon me, if it neglected to invite the attention of the Representatives of the people to it, at the earliest mo ment that a due respect for the Senate would allow me so to do. I should find, in the urgency of the matter, a sufficient apology, if one was wanting, since annexation is to encounter a great if not certain hazard of final defeat, if something be not now done to prevent it. Upon this point, I cannot too impressively invite your attention to my Message of the 16th May, and to the documents which accompany it, which have not heretofore been made public. If it be ob jected that the names of the writers of some of the private letters are withheld, all that I can say is, that it is done for reasons regarded as altogether adequate, and that the writers are persons of the first respectability, and citizens of Texas, and have such means of obtaining information as to entitle their sentiments to full credit. Nor has anything occurred to weaken, but, on the contrary, much to confirm my confi dence in the statements of General Jackson, and my own statement made at the close of that message, in the belief, amounting almost to certainty, "that instructions have al ready been given by the Texian Government, to propose to the Government of Great Britain, forthwith, on the failure of the treaty, to enter into a treaty of commerce and alliance, offensive and defensive." . _ _ I also particularly invite your attention to the letter from Mr. Everett, our Envoy at London, containing an account of a conversation in the House of Lords which lately occurred between Lord Brougham and Lord Aberdeen, in relation to the question of annexation. Nor can I do so without the expression of some surprise at the language the Minister of Foreign Affairs employed upon the occasion. That a kingdom which is made what it now is by re peated acts of annexation, beginning from the time of the Heptarchy, and concluding with the annexa tion of the kingdoms of 'lreland and Scotland, should per ceive any principle, either novel or serious, in the late pro ceedings of the American Executive in regard to Texas, is well calculated to excite surprise. If it be pretended that, because of commercial or political relations which may exist between the two countries, neither has a right to part with its sovereignty, and • that no third Power can change those' relations by a voluntary treaty. of union or annexation, then it- .would' • seem to follow that art annexation to be achieved by force of arms, in the pro secution of a jest and necessary war, could in no way bejus tified ; and yet it is presumed that Great Britain would be the last nation in the world to maintain any such doctrine. The commercial and political relations of many of the countries of Europe have undergone • repeated changes by voluntary treaties, by conquest, and by partitions of their territories, without any question as to the right, under the public law. The question, in this view of it, can be considered as neither serious nor novel. I will not permit myself to believe that the British Mi nister designed to-bring himself to any such conclusion; but it is impossible for us to be blind to the fact, that the state ments contained in- Mr. Everett's dispatch are well worthy of serious consideration. The Government and people of the United States have never evinced, nor do they feel, any de sire to interfere in public questions not affecting the relations existing between-the States of the American Continent. We leave the- European Powers exclusive control, over matters affecting their Continent and the relations of their different States. ' The United States claim .a similar exemption from any such interference on their part. The treaty with Texas was negotiated from considerations of a high public policy, influ encing the conduct of the two Republics. We have treated with Texas as an independent Power, solely with a view of bettering the condition of the two countries. If annexation in any form occur, it will arise from the free and un fettered action of the people of the two countries; and it seems altogether becoming in me to say . that the honour of the country, the dignity of the American name, and the permanent interests of the United States, would forbid ac quiescence in any such interference. No man can more highly appreciate the value of peace to both Great Britain and the United States, and the capacity of each to do injury to the other, than myself; but peace can best be preserved by maintaining firmly the rights which belong to us, as an independent community. • So much I have considered it proper for me to say, and it becomes me only to add, that while I have regarded the annexation to be accomplished by treaty as the most suitable form in which it could be effected, should Congress deem it proper to resort to any other expedient compatible with the Constitution, and likely to accomplish the object, I stand pre pared to yield my most prompt and 'active co-operation. The great question is not as to the manner in which it shall be done,: but whether-it -shall be accomplished or not. Thei•esiionsibility of deciding thitquestion 4.4 new devolved upon you.

Captain Dotching, London and Newcastle trader, which took fire early in_ the morn ing, whilst lying at her moorings off the Irongate stairs, ' Tower, and which suWequently fell over on her starboard side, was raised by means of chain lighters, and warped to the hard . gravel in front of the. Tower-wharf; where . she presents a distressing spectacle.- Yesterday morning the immense quantity of water in the . hold was pumped out by a large number of labourers and others employed : fort the purpose. The whole of the cargo (con sisting of teas, sugars, figs, cotton, and other articles has been destroyed by the fire and water, and the hold, wit the exception of a valuable log of mahogany, which is only par tially damaged by the fire, presents a mass of rubbish. The fire had raged from stem to stern, but appears to have made the greatest havoc abaft the mainmast, the cabin being lite rally gutted. The mainmast, for nearly 18 feet above the deck, has sustained much damage, bid the forepart of the vessel, above the deck, has not received injury. A survey has been held on the brig, but the result of the surveyor's report has not transpired. She is, however, repairable, but the expenses of doing so must be very considerable.- Part of her top rigging, sails,. &c., have been put on board a lighter' and conveyed to a place of security. When the hold is emptied of its contents, the . Galena will likely be placed in a dry dock to undergo the requisite repairs. A crowd of per tons proceeded to the Tower-wharf yesterday and inspected she ill-fated vessel. FINE ARTS. EXHIBITION OF CARTOONS, &c., IN WESTMINSTER HALL. We on Saturday attended a private view of an ex- . hibition of cartoons, pieces of sculpture, &c., which have been sent in to Westminster Hall, pursuant to the notices issued. by her Majesty's Commissioners on the Fine Arts. The array of cartoons is a very im- - posing one, and completely fills the walls of this mag nificent hall, while the statues and groups in marble and clay are ranged on tables in the centre, which - run the entire length of the building. The exhi bition, we understand, will be opened to the public - to-morrow, and meanwhile we will just bestow a few words on some of the works of art which most - attracted our attention in the hurried survey we took of them. No. 1, Encounter between Ccesar and Cassieilaunus on the Banks of the Thames, is a battle scene by Melling full of spirit and action. The Roman leader and the British King are of course tl e principal figures in the piece, but the expression in the countenance of the latter is too exaggerated, being less that of a stern, patriotic hero, than of a raging maniac whose eyes, which glow like hot coals, indicate the fire of insanity. No. 12,- Fair Rosamond in Woodstock Park, awaiting the arrival of _Henry the Second, is by Edward Corbould. The listening, anxious attitude and demeanour of the mistress of this enamoured monarch, are well delineated, but there is too much of sternness and severity in the countenance to realise our notions of Rosamond. No. 14, The Overthrow of the Druids, represents the Roman Ge neral, Suetonius Paulinus, making his last fatal attack on the British priests in their strong-hold in the island of Mona. There is considerable vigour in this sketch. N 0.15 is a representation of Milton's famous scene in Paradise Lost, where he describes the fallen - angels lamenting their fate in a " silent valley." The chief defect of this sketch is a want of appropriate - expression. No one would ever imagine, without the aid of the explanatory catalogue, that the singers were other than a group of enamoured men, bewailing either the coldness or the death of their respective mistresses. Their grief wants dignity, elevation, and intensity. N 0.19, Discovering the Body qf Harold. This is one of the most correct, skilful, and natural designs in the whole exhibition. Two Saxon monks, assisted in their search by the deceased monarch's mistress, Edith, have just succeeded in discovering his body amidst a heap of slain. One of the monks is kneeling down, and raising the royal corpse reverently in his arms ; the other is standing erect holding in his hand a lighted torch which casts a lurid light over the whole fore ground. To the right of the spectator appears the figure of Edith, whose attitude and manner— though her countenance is averted from us--expresses a world of heart-felt grief. Nothing can be simpler and more intelligible than the design of this study in oil for fresco. It is full of expression, animated, yet wholly devoid of exaggeration, and one reads it with the same interest which one would read some touch ing episode in a work of fiction. The grouping of this clever sketch is not among, its least recom mendations. It is replete with easy beauty and pro priety. No. 21, Scene from the Tempest, is chiefly deserving of praise for the single figure of Caliban, which goes far to realise our notions of this ma lignant, ill-favoured imp. No. 24, Sampson, with the Jaw-bone of an Ass in his hand, is a striking display of prodigious physical energy. No. 25, Council of Ancient Britons, shows an aboriginal British Chief listening to the counsels of an aged Druid adviser, The scene is a wood, and the Chief is seated under the shadow of a branching oak, with a youth, his armour-bearer, reclining at his feet. The sub ject is well chosen, but the execution is not re markable for spirit or character. No. 30, The Signing of Magna Charta, by Douglas Guest, is another well selected theme. The best sketch in the groupe is that of King John, who is seated in a Gothic chair, and whose action expresses just that de- • gree of indecision and apprehension which might be anticipated from the distrustful usurper at such a crisis. N 0.33, King Henry the Fifth praying before the Battle of Agincourt, possesses a deep historical interest which will be sure to attract notice to it ; but there is a most singular discrepancy between the figure of the monarch, which is that of a full grown man, apparently past his five-and twentieth year, and that of his face, which is that of a mere boy, not more than sixteen or seven teen years of age. No. 46, The Fates, contains one expressive figure—namely, that of Atropos, who is cutting the thread of destiny, and whose countenance indicates a mingled sternness and melancholy. It is shown in profile, and has a very striking effect. No. 47, Wat Tyler, is a design much too crowded with figures. No. 49, A Bohemian Fortune-Teller. is cleverly-executed, and the features of the Bohemian, the principal figure in the piece, teem with shrewd-, inquisitive expression. No. 80, Luna and Endymion is a very sweet, poetic sketch, though too deficient in breadth, we fear, for the 'purposes for which it was designed. Among the clay models and pieces .of sculpture, which are as numerous as they are varied, we may single out for praise No. 90, a full length figure of Captain Cooke,—another, of Geoffrey Chaucer, the poet, and a portrait statue of his late Majesty, William the Fourth. No. 105, So phronia and Olinda at the Stake, is a beautiful groupe in marble by Retchie, and merits high praise, if only for the exquisite tenderness which the sculptor has contrived to throw into the countenance of the female martyr. No. 112 is a very indifferent statue of George the Fourth—a worse than indifferent monarch. Hi s M a j es t y l oo k s as sour as • vinegar, and displays no more dignity than a King' in a penny puppet-show. No. 142 is a striking full- , length likeness of the Marquis of Wellesley, represent ing him at that period of his life when he was Governor- General of India. No. 153, The Burial of the Princes in the Tower is a skilful and naturally disposed grouper No. 110, Hesitation of Pandora, is an elegant and symmetrical female figure, with the exception of the , neck, which is too lean and scraggy for our ideas of feminine beauty. At some more leisure opportunity we may possibly return to the subject of this exhibi tion, which will, no doubt, attract crowds during the season. HAYMkRKET THEATRE. The Milliner's Holiday is the title of a most laugh' able farce which was produced at this theatre on Satur day; with unequivocal success: - It Is by the'authcr the Double-bedded Roanyand is full of fun. Incidents situations, dialogue, all are overflowing wiih humour, and: from beginning to end the - audience were in a roar."

Holl), who has placed her under the, guardianship of old Penuywig (Strickland), in.a cottage. a short distance from town, with strict orders that she is to hold no communication with her former companions' One of these, Kitty Caraway, has been deserted, by her lover, Simon Sparks (Buckstone), to whom, at , Fanny's' intercession, Pennyvvig writea a letter desiring him to Meet a lady at the cottage. Sparks, not aware Of the interest Fanny takes in Kitty's happiness, has the venity'td imagine that.

Quo, which still Continue; to run a career of uninterrupted success. The comedy has been judiciously curtailled ; the events .which about the denouement are brought.more closely together: so as to make it as nwliole more comptict, and it is now an exceedingly pleasant, lively, bustling acting comedy, and bids fair to run a rery - successful career: 'The -house was crowded. FETE CHAMijEIItE. A fete champetre and fancy fair was held on Saturdsl in Col. Miles's Giounds, Regent's-park, in aid of the funds of the Royal Dispensary for the Diseases of the Ear: The day was lovely, just the sort of day fer for an out-door fete , and..4ie grounds were crowded with the elite of the fashionable world. Tents and marquees were pitched in the grounds, and fitted up with counters, behind which stood the fair stall keepers, who for ~bouquets of c hoice, flowers, portfolios of prints, pineushions, worsted iiork., &c., &c., obtained prices which could not but . ,have 141 ,highly profitable td the ihstittition.
