The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent ; the artist, tt.e amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of dehn ca tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the mn,t wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terr ific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness. of the qu'et Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the sOa. cious Lake, to be !idly appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Men 'ays, Tues days, ‘Vednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfr, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail an ,doingjustice to the awful representation of THE GltEA'f FIRE OF LONDON. It s fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the sarae tin ie so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Ar t, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands wha nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and ads nit that Southby, the Uarivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a match' sea triun iph.

Broadfoot. inaiting LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 2 1844. In the Lords, the Sugars Duties Bill was read a second time. In answer to a questiws from the LORD CHAN CELLOR, Lord CAMPBELL said he would move the third reading of the Libel Bill this day. A discussion took place on the motion for the third reading of the Bishoprics of St. Asaph and Bangor Bill, during which the Duke of NEWCASTLE in formed the LORD CHANCELLOR that he had been guilty of an unworthy manoeuvre to get rid of the Bill. The third reading was consequently postponed, and the Bill was referred to a Select Committee. In the Commons, after the presentation cf peti • Lions, Mr. BRIGHT put a question, of which he had given notice, to Sir JAMES GRA HAM, whether he had any objection to lay before the House the corn's pondence which had taken place between the Lord- Lieutenant of Lancashire and the Government, re lative to raising a new corps of yeomanry for the southern division of that county. Sir JAMES GRAHAM did not state whether the correspondence would be produced, but intimated that the application for raising a body of yeomanry in the neighbourhood of Rochdale had been communicated to the Earl of DERBY, who had no objection to it, and her MAJESTY had accepted their services. In answer to a question from Lord PaLmtnsTox, relative to the occurrences which had taken place in Morocco, Sir ROBERT PEEL said her Majesty's Go vernment had given such directions as they thought necessary to insure full information, independent of foreign Powers, and to protect British interests. Mr. Ross gave notice that on Friday next he would move for all papers and correspondence rela tive to the re-anointment of Mr. O'DaiscoLL to the magistracy in Ireland. Sir ROBERT PEEL gave an outline of the business for the remainder of the session, which will be found briefly stated in the Parliamentary report. It will be seen, from this, that a vast number of Bills are yet to be carried, or attempted to be carried, and that the grouse•shooters have little chance of being able to attend to their duties in Parliament. The Irish Registration 13111 then formed a subject for lengthened conversation. Sir ROBERT PEEL had intimated that he would move the second reading, solely for the purpose of discussing the measure, but Is every speaker seemed to be against him, he gave up the Bill for the session. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE had the merit of quashing this dastardly attempt, first broached by Lord STANLEY, to diminish the Irish franchise. The Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill was passed through Committee. The Prisoners' (Scotland) Bill also went through Committee, and the House adjourned at Half-past Eight. Since the first announcement of Sir R. PEEL'S ill omened—and now, all but matured absurdity—his notable scheme of Banking Reform—we have en devoured, from time to time, to awaken public at tention to the melancholy condition of productive industry in this country. We have shown, in suc cessive articles on the growing evils and deficiencies of our monetary system, how the fatal legislation of 1819, which legitimated and fixed at a certain defined price gold as the " standard of value"—(ourselves not being answerable for the vagueness or ineptitude of the terms adopted by the bullionists)—has worked out all the disastrous consequences predicted from its operation by those who denounced it in Parliament five-and-twenty years ago. We have shown that the effect of making gold of a certain cheapness, by law has been ever since to reduce the remuneration of labour on a scale commensurate with, or even lower than, the diminution of prices. We have shown that since a gold standard struck natural or gold prices only for,the productions of the loom or the products of agriculture, there was no margin for that charge which should represent the cost of taxation pending the growth or the manufacture of the commodity. We have shown how, in addition to this, another cause has operated to limit the power of giving remunera tive wages in the crippled action of capital, invested, whether in land or in manufactures, through the fear ful contraction of the general currency consequent on the application of the metallic screw. We have shown how these depreciated price; and profits have so pre judiced the condition of the industrious operative and labourer, that their masters have been compelled to say to them—" To enable us to pay you even these reduced wages, you must work for them during a longer portion of each day. To enable us to keep our mills at work, our lands in cultivation, you must extend your daily labouring hours from twelve hours to sixteen or eigh teen." And, finally, we have shown, that from the hundreds of thousands—we might fairly say from the millions of producers—who live bytheir daily labour, thus inadequately paid, and thus cruelly protracted ; your system of a gold currency and natural prices, under an annual taxation of 50,000,0001., has annually snatched at least 30,000,0001. in the shape of taxes charged upon articles indispen sible to their subsistence, instead of taking that sum, as the Legislature clearly contemplated, from the wealthier consumer, off whose shoulders you have shifted the burden. Thus, then, the condition of labour in this country is that it is underpaid, de frauded, and overtaxed. In the meanwhile, the im provements of machinery, and the amount of produc tion, have gone on, pari passu, to an extent which the world has never before witnessed. But by all this increase of necessaries, in the shape of articles of sub sistence and raiment ; and of luxuries, in the multiplication of conveniences, comforts, and elegancies—the producing classes, by whose hard toil such increase has been elaborated are nothing benefited. They starve in the midst of plenty. They perish, surrounded by countless ele ments of succour. An usurious monetary system, which gives everything to already-realised capital that can ensure its rapid multiplication—provides no means of distribution to the indigent millions. As hats, and coats and gowns, and stockings and shoes become cheaper, because more abundantly produced, the meritorious artisans, Rhose ill-requited industry sets the producing machinery in motion, sink lower and lower in the scale of destitution—become more and more unable to possess themselves of such articles. If the case stood thus, with regard to manu facturing labour and its products, it is noto riously no better—perhaps, it is worse—in respect of agricultural labour, and the pro ducts which that realises for the landowners. The landowner, in his turn, points, on the one hand, to the only prices the farmer can realise for his Cereal pro ducts, bread stuffs, &c.—on the other, to the burdens of tithe, poor-rate, county-rate, &c. ; and, if his pro perty be encumbered, to his mortgages, the interest upon which, for advances made in a " depreciated currency" with high prices, he has now to pay in an artificially enhanced money—in gold. " With such reduced rents, and lowered prices, and heavy bur dens," he says, " I cannot pay you remunerating wages." _ Now, agricultural protection is getting as much out of public endurance as manufacturing pro tection; so that for this state of things protection is rarely ever suggested as a remedy. What is to be done ? In the meanwhile tha desperate incendiary is at his suicidal and devastating work. In Essex, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, the midnight destroyer— goaded doubtless to desperation and to crime by the wrongs of poverty, and the cravings of want, the claims of helpless infancy, and the misery of hi: home—is committing to the flames the garnered harvests of former years, or the means and appli ances necessary to get in that which is next to be gathered. What sentiments can more powerfully excite his frenzied despair than the bitter conscious ness of his own willingness and ability to work, con trasted with the hopeless destitution which alone will follow upon his labour, where masters and landlords are equally straightened in their present means, and in despair of their future chance of bet tering them ? The new banking law of Sir It. PEEL presents aspects fatal alike to manufacturing, commercial, and agricultural enterprise. In carrying out to their full extent the hitherto dormant mischiefs of the Act of 1819, and in aggravating the intensity and enlarging the sphere of action of those evil influences it had already developed, the Bill now pending before Parliament will be deplorably signalised. It will add the guilt of lighting up a hundred incendiary fires in districts where its baneful propositions are about to ensure the ruin of the unfortunate agriculturist - , who may no longer look for temporary accommodation or sympathy in his honest struggles against adverse seasons or accidents—to that long catalogue of ills, in which the memory of Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Currency Act of 1819, will be asso ciated to posterity as the proximate causes of the distress of our labouring population at various in tervening periods, and at the present moment. We have enormous wealth, the most magnificent revenue in the world ; a commerce whose parallel has not arisen in the history of mankind. We are supreme among the nations, and the business of Time, himself, seems to be but to develope, year after year, our new and uncalculated resources for the increase of our opulence, and the consolidation of our power. We are in profound peace with all the world ; and yet, in the centre of an imperial do minion, the metropolitan home of our greatness, a s well as in the provincial capitals of our commercial and agricultural greatness, we have widely-spreading, accumulating, unarrested poverty and discontent. That poverty is of the most afflicting and most abject character. This discontent manifests itself in the most insidious, and the 'most open forms. What can be the cause of these phenomenon, moral and political ? Are these gifts of Providence, and these happy acci dents of nature, to be neutralised by some radical vice in our monetary system, that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S autocracy may not be shaken in the House of Com mons, nor his financial imbecility be recognised and denounced without it ? There is but one opinion respecting the conduct of the Home Secretary in ordering the private letters of M. MAzztpu to be opened at the General Post-office. 0 All people —as the Times of this morning justly remarks—" agree in vituperating him. Never was Minister „more pitilessly assailed. His unpopularity, sufficientix great before, has received an unenviable increase of ,odium and notoriety; and the dislike with which he mks regarded by some parties in the House of Commons has extended itself to all parties out of the House." We rejoice at this. It is a " great fact," and proves that the tone of pub lic morality is by no means at so low an ebb as might be anticipated, considering that the direct tendency of our Conservative Government, for the last four years, has been to vitiate, if not wholly destroy it, by their expediency system of legislation. But not only has Sir JAMES GnAnAm's conduct excited the indignation of every honest, high minded Englishman, but it has roused a strong feel ing of abhorrence also in France, as is manifest from a late discussion that took place on the subject, in the Chamber of Deputies. " That England," said.: IDE MALLEVILLF, " who, according to her o• wn account, marches with so much pride at the he ad. o f free nations, should still be obliged to suffer such a is honourable outrages as regards herself, proves i fir at, in point of practical liberty, there is a gc deal yet to be learned on the other side :.the Straits. The Ministers will probably be obU ed to me for giving them this opportunity of declaring, in the most public manner, tin at, with us at least, the privacy of letters is respecte(l by law and in fact ; for it is to the honour of the E o vernment of July to have shut the Cabinet Noir, 13 nd I sincerely hope it will never be re-established." In reply to these remarks, the Premier, M. Guizov, cob served with emphasis :—" The Hon. Member ts b,o has just spoken is quite in the right. In law arid in fact, the privacy of letters is completely respectxl in France, both as regards natives and foreigners." C an our Premier say as much ? Certainly not ; .the Home Secretary has effectually cut the gr4ln from under his feet, and, only as a pleasant fict:x .n, can he now talk of the privacy of let t 4 being respected in England. Of course the Fre nch will be filled with exultation at the idea of the superior morality and honesty of their Gove-re - merit to that of ours; they will be constantly tau ni,- ing us with the flagrant misconduct of Sir JAr h il GRAHAM; and they will point to the defence set 13 p for him by the Cabinet, as a proof that his officii it colleagues deem his violation of M. MAZZINI'S prlvad .e correspondence an act justified by law, and in perf , .N accordance with the dictates of common honent . y, The French have never yet forgiven us—and t'ni probably never will entirely—fur our decisive vielo over them at Waterloo ; but if anything can tend to soften the bitterness of their feelings on -tb is subject, it will be the flattering convict - 1( m that they will henceforth entertain of the lof ti er moral tone held by their Government to that prevails in ours. They will tell us that our Hor ae Secretary is no better than a spy, and that his c( )l leagues may be regarded as his accomplices, other ow, ise they would not defend him so readily as they T aa ye done. And to these stinging taunts what ans xer can we make ? None at all. The humiliating fact .ea n not be denied, that the PEEL Ministry has dishono,ar ed itself in the eyes of Europe, and that England is to some extent a sharer in its disgrace, by sanctioning its continuance in office. But, thank GOD, public feeling is at length actin ely roused on the subject, and is expressing i self in a tone that daily becomes more menacing ; and, significant ! The cry now everywhere is " , v n with Sir JAMES GRAHAM !" So say we. "Tie , Am with Sir JAMES GRAHAM !" and the sooner le is ejected from Downing-street, the better. His c' 3n tinuance in the Cabinet is a direct insult to the mac a-al feelings of the people. It is a proof that the exp'io led espionage system will be revived, at the first fea .ble opportunity, in all its enormity ; and that mil ler public nor private rights will be respected will len ever they may chance to interfere with the Home Secretary's latitudinarian notions of "what is expedient. Most earnestly—most emphatic ill 'y— with a strong conviction of the imperative necessity of the case—we conjure our countrymen ot all parties, and shades of parties, to mark without d elay their unmitigated disgust and abhorrence of the: .con duct of Sir JAMES GRAHAM. Already that dB gust and that abhorrence have been manifested in no un equivocal form; but this is not enough, p üblic meetings should be held in all quarters, havEli r for their avowed and direct object the immediate rsn ioval of the Home Secretary from office. Some of the Madrid journals of the 22d ult. ea press great alarm respecting the measures which are. about to be adopted by the Ministers, now assembling at Barcelona. One of them state that two of these, mea zures will be the marriage of the QUEEN to the son of Don CA/mos, and a decree for reviving the .1 total() Real, both very probable. The Clamor P ablico strongly protests against such a daring violatfon of the Constitution in they words : "Perfidy gave birth to these times of calamity, despotism has supported, and anarchy crowns it.: The course •which the Liberal party are to pursue, if the fatal things they fore see be realised, is evident. They must defend the i crtegrity of the Constitution they hate conquered at the cost kit' their blood ; they must resist the tyrants and usurpers wl.to. would strip the nation of its rights and sovereignty. The struggle will be a duty and a necessity to the partisans of libeiral in stitutions, for they will have to combat despotic power, a scandalous usurpation, and an intolerable tyranny, a dicta torship resting on force, and which would establish its odious domination on the wrecks of the constitutional edifice, and of the freedom of the Spanish people." The Verdad, of Barcelona, states that EL GROC, the last of the Carlist rebels of Maestrasga, has been taken and shot. All his companions, to the amount of nearly 150, had been previously taken and put to death. The Three per Cents. were done:for cash, at 2613-16 ; 60 days, 27i ; and the Five per Cents., for cash, 20 at 60 days, 20k. We find no fresh intelligence, relative to the Mo rocco war in the Paris papers. Some of them, how ever, have bitter articles on the late occurrences, di rected both against the King of the FRENCH and the English Government. The Carlist journal, the Quo tidienne, particularly distinguishes itself on the occa sion, and would lead the country to infer that France can never be really independent of England while the ORLEANS dynasty exists. We give the following as a specimen :—" England, by the organ of Sir R. PEEL, has been graciously pleased to permit our projects on Morocco ; our rulers have communicated to her their views; the demands of the EMPEROR, and how they intend replying to them. They have communicated to the British Ministry the instructions given to the Prince de JoiNvILLE, and these instructions are fully satisfactory. Thus, we now learn, through the de bates in the English Parliament, why we have col lected a fleet and confided an expedition to the Prince de Jousvir.LE! England saw in it no incon venience; the innocuous character of the instruc tions of our admiral has procured him at once a sails- Pelt and an excat. Poor France I But seriously, if on any point of the globe a government adjoining any of the British possessions should think fit to in vade them with an armed force, and attack the Eng lish troops, and if this attack bore a grave character, and came from a government so powerful, that the Cabinet of London should deem it proper to confide the command of an expedition to a Prince of the Royal family, is it to be supposed that this Cabinet before the departure of the expedition, would think itself obliged to submit to the approbation of the French Government its views, and the instructions given to its general ? Certainly the idea would never occur to it, or if by impossibility we suppose that it might, is it to be believed that the publicity given to that act of weakness would not be sufficient to excite the indignation of a proud and independent nation? Well then, France owes to England only what Eng land would believe it would owe in a similar case : any other rule of conduct is unworthy of us, for it cannot be atributed to an act of good intelligence— but to a feeling of weakness—to a sentiment of in feriority." The Journal des Debuts takes a very different view of the question, and announces that great prepara tions are in progress to punish the perfidious Moors, and avenge the honour of France. "Reinforcements," it adds, " continue to be sent from Algiers to Oran. A battalion of the 44th arrived at Oran on the 19th; another battalion of the same regiment was about to be sent to Tenez to reinforce the camp at Orleans vine. The banks and islet of Ghazouna, at the mouth of the River Nedroma, on the extreme frontier of Morocco, will, it is said, be occupied by our troops. The odious perfidy of the Morocco troops, and the battle of the 15th, render the difficulty of arrange ment almost inextricable. We are still persuaded that all this is done in opposition to the will of the EMPEROR ; but when his own guard takes the lead in aggression, instead of controlling the undisciplined tribes, of what service can be the protestations and engagements of a SOVEREIGN who is no longer mas ter of his own people, and whose troops follow the impulsion of the ambitious ADD-EL-KADER." Pri vate letters also state that General BUGEAUD had in timated his intention to the Government of invading Morocco as soon as he had assembled a sufficient body of troops, and that possibly his next dispatches would be dated from Fez. On Friday the discussion on the Northern Railroad Bill was brought to a close, when the Chamber adopted the Government plan by a majority of 227 to 42. The branch line from Amiens to Boulogne was also adopted. It is to run through Abbeville and Etaples, and will be leased to a company for ninety nine years. On the same day, ➢I.

DUNCOMBE'S motion relative to opening letters at the Post-office, and complained that the statement of Mr. DUN COMBE, implying that the secrecy of letters was not respected in France, had been published in the Moniteur, without any protest, denial, or remark, fur it was a well-known fact that no such practice now existed at the French Post-office. M. GUIZOT, from his place, said " The Hon. Deputy was perfectly cor rect in stating that both in right and in fact the secrecy of letters was completely respected in France, but we have not judged it proper, nor shall we ever think it necessary, to make a complaint against er roneous statements made on this subject either in France or other countries." We hal e adverted to this subject in a separate article. The accounts from Morocco caused a sudden de pression of the French Funds.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The market for Consols did not rally up . to the termi natien of business this afternoon, the latest bargains being 98}:- to 1 ; they were done even as low as 98-. The Reduced Three- and-a-Half per Cents. receded to 102* and 102. Bank Stock was firm at 198 to 1 ; India Stock for Account was 2844. Spanish Bonds remained about the same as in the morning, the Five per Cents. being 22g- -.a, and the Three per Cents. ex dividend, 321 Mexican were 351; Portuguese Converted, ex dividend, 431 ; French Five per Cents., 121 r. 75e.- ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 603 to 64 The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham and Derby were 35 to 351 ; Chester and Holyhead, 1 ; Bl a ckwall, ; Brighton, 311 Greenwich, 6 dis. ; Chatham and Portsmouth, 4 ; Eastern Counties.

Sales to a good extent were made in Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday, at very firm rates. Speculators took 1,000 bales, and exporters 500, and the total sales were 6,000 bales. The transactions in Shares were on a moderate scale at the sub joined rates :—Birmingham and Gloucester, 92} ; Chester and Birkenhead New, 19 1; Eastern Counties, 11i ; Great Wes tern, 123; Ditto Fifths, 23; Liverpool and Manchester, 223; Ditto Quarter, 54i ; London and Birmingham, 217 ; Ditto 321.

Much interest continues to be taken in the state of the grain trade. Fine showers having been experienced in al most all the principal parts of the country, speculation in foreign wheat has been somewhat checked. Still, however, there is no doubt entertained that the arrivals of foreign grain before the autumn will be very considerable from the Continent, as well as from Canada and the United States. It appears from the accounts received this morning from Mauritius that the trade there had been in some degree in jured by the apprehension that the hay and corn crops have been damaged by the long continued drought that has pre vailed in many sections of the United Kingdom. Still, for the autumn trade in British manufactures, considerable ex pectations are entertained that there will be a most abundant demand for cotton and woollen fabrics for exportation. Yarns have been in fair request of late. There have not been any accounts from the Colonies this morning, with the exception of ship-letters, which are of old dates. Although there has not been any business of importance transacted in the funds this morning, a strong tendency to decline is ethibited in the prices. Consols for the Account have fallen from 98a to 98i, but they have since rallied to 981. A large delivery of stock is expected to-morrow. Re duced Three per Cents. have been sold at 99* ; Exchequer Bills at 735. to 755. premium and India Bonds 945. pre m i um . Bank Stock for the A ccoun t has been sold at 194 ; and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 102 A. The payment of the dividends upon the Spanish Three per Cents. were commenced this morning, but the market for this stock is notwith s t an di ng h eav y, a t 32a 1 . The Five per Cents. have fallen from 22i to 22i. The half-yearly interest upon Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., and upon Portuguese Converted; Bonds, are also in course of liquidation to-day. Money is easy in the Foreign Market. The Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. have been quoted at 601 ex div. ; Old Five per Cents. Portuguese at 804 ; the Colombian ex Venezuelan, at In ; and Mexican at 35i1 for the Account. The result of the interview to be had with Sir Robert Peel and the Directors of the principal Railway Com panies, this afternoon, upon the subject of a Bill now before Parliament, for the future guidance of establishments of the description referred to in the measure in question, is looked for - with interest. Any attempt to fetter the managers of the existing lines is held by them in consistent with the property they hold, but it is quite another and a most important question, as far as the public are con cerned, that all attempts at monopoly should be checked, and so it is hoped that the Parliament will, by stringent laws, de cide. A good deal of business has been transacted in the Share Market this morning, but at prices not differing much from those of Saturday last. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 22.—The market to-day has been very languid, and only a limited business done. Manchester and Leeds Half-Shares, 434 ; South Eastern, 31i ; Manchester and Birmingham, 56i to 56i ; Liverpool ar.d Manchester, 221 to 223; Manchester, Bolton, and Bury, 109 i to 1101; Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale, 3 to 3i.

SIR,—As the steamer Duchess of Kent was coming out of Ramsgate Harbour, yesterday, about one, she ran foul of the brig Concord, which was entering between the pier-heads at the moment. The brig's starboard main-channels were carried a wa y, and, not being able to come to the wind, she ran stem on the western pier, and shattered her bowsprit to splinters. In the first in stance the fault !ay with th e brig, in not wearing when she saw the steamer coming out ; but I cannot help thinking that the collision with the steamer might have been avoided by reversi ng the eng i n es, which was not attempted. The second collision, I think, would have taken place under any ci rcumstances , from the way the i brig came n, though the wind was by no means un favourable. Those on board the brig appeared quite paralysed, and thotigh instructions were shouted from the pier -head, no notice was taker& of them. I was informed that the vessel, on a former voyage, ran against the same pier. Your obedient servant, July 1. O'Ci -,ONNEED , AIT OF ERROR IN TIIE LORDS. —The printed case and reasons in this writ of error were settled in consultation, at Sir T. Wilde's chambers, on Friday night. The following gentlemen are retained for the travel , - sers :—Sir T. Wilde, Mr. D. Hill, Fitzroy Kelly, T. S. Murphy, Charles Crompton, David Leahy, John William Smith, J. S. Close (Irish bar), B.

The King of the French, accompanied by General Duros nel, Colonel Dumas, and the Count de Strada, paid a visit to Saint Cloud on Thursday afternoon, but returned to Neuilly to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the Turkish Ambassador, the Minister of Wurtemburg, the Duke d'lstrie, General Jacqueminot, and M. de Lahaye Jousselin. • According to one of the journals, his Majesty will speedily set out for the Palace of Eu, to examine the works that have been executed there lately. The Prince de Joinville, says the Moniteur , being obliged to proceed to the coast of Morocco, wrote, before his depar ture, to Vice-Admiral Leblanc to express his regret at not being able this year to visit Rochfort a second time, as he had promised. . . " ft would appear," says the Constitutionnel, "that all the Powers are to have a naval force on the coasts of Morocco. Orders have been sent from Turin to Cagliari, that the Sar dinian squadron should set sail fur Tangiers." A letter from Toulon, of the 25th, states that no news had arrived there from Algeria since the dispatches of the 20th. A communication received at that period contains the intel ligence that Abd-el-Kader had been named Khalifat of the eastern part of the kingdom of Morocco, and that the Arabs subject to France were busily employed in getting in their crops, through fear of some razzia. News has been received at Trieste, from Corfu, stating that forty Italian refugees, among whom were D. Moro and the brothers Bandiera, naval officers, embarked in the night of the 12th, in a Neapolitan or Roman vessel, with the intent of landing on some point on the coast of Italy. It was be lieved that they had steered their course towards the coast of Calabria. The Aug.sburgh Gazette states, from Goritz, that the Duke de Bordeaux has notified to the Courts of Europe his deter mination to retain the title of Count de Chambord. This is said to be tor the purpose of avoiding the alternative of ac cepting or refusing the title of King of France, which his party has given to him since the death of the Duke d'Angouleme. At Paris, on Friday, ten condemned criminals were exposed in the pillory, on the Place du Palais de Justice. Amongst them was a man named Barrois, who has been sentenced to imprisonment for life, with hard labour, for the murder of his wife. An Amsterdam letter announces tl , e landing of the machine for draining the lake of llaarlem. It was constructed at the foundry of Messrs. Harvey- and Co., at Ilayle, Cornwall, is 12 English feet square, and weighs 31,0001 b. From Venice we learn that the works on the railroad, be tween that city and Milan, are being carried perseveringly on, and that the Government has just allowed the importation of 400 tons of English iron at half the imposed duty. So abject is the condition in which the State pensioners of Spain are left, that an old colonel on the retired list, who lived at Tarragona, died lately in such destitution, that his body received the interment of a pauper. qollßT—rastizo - Nl9.utoa. The Court is expected to return to Buckingham Palace this afternoon, from Claremont. The Earl of Delawarr ' as Lord Chamberlain, at tke com mand of her Illajesty, has issued invitations for a grand dinner on Thursday next.

Preparations are in progress at Cambridge House for the reception of their Serene Highnesses the Ilereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenbutgh Strelitz, who are to ar rive on Thursday next, to remain some weeks on a visit to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Grand Duchess (Princess Augusta of Cambridge) comes expressly to stay it, is said, until the close of September, with her illustrious parents. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch give a grand enter tainment, on the 10th inst., to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester; and on the 12th a similar banquet to meet their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Earl and Countess of Essex were honoured by the company of a select and brilliant circle of the nobility at Cashiobury Park, near Watford, Herts, on Saturday last. His . Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, Duchess de. Coigny and Madlle. Coiguy, Countess of Jersey and Lady Clemen tina Villiers, Earl of Mansfield, Lady Lyndhurst and Hon. Miss Copley, Hon. Frederick and Lady Elizabeth Villiers, the Rev. John Massey Stanley, Viscount Cantalupe, Lord Forester, Mr. Spencer de Horsey and Miss do Horsey, &c., were among the visitors. The Right Hon. Edward Ellice, M.P., and Dowager Countess of Leicester, arrived at Longford Hall, the Dowager Countess's seat in Derbyshire, on Tuesday, where they pur pose residing some weeks, before going to Scotland. Earl and Countess de Grey are not expected to arrive in St. James's-square, from Dublin Castle, until the end of the month, as it is understood to be his Lordship's intention to make a short sojourn at Buxton Wells, en route from Ireland. His Lordship will afterwards visit his seat, Brest Park, Bed fordshire. _ _ _ Mr. Baring Wall, M.P., received his Excellency M. Dedel, Lord and Lady Ashburton, and Hon. Miss Baring, Lord and Lady Jemima Eliot, Lord and Lady Methuen, Lady Morgan, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Mrs. Mildinay, Mr. and Mrs. Vivian, Mr. Barrington, Mr. Ward, and a select party at dinner on Thursday last, at the honourable gentleman's house in Berkeley-square. His Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, the French Ambas sador, left Hertford House on Friday for Dover, on his way to Paris. His Excellency's conge is limited to the Ist of Sep tember, when the Ambassador will return accompanied by the Countess de St. Aulaire.

The Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway have given instructions that the eleven o'clock a.m. down train stop at Harrow on Thursday next, July the 4th, being the day of the speeches. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland has dismissed Mr. Cornelius O'Brien from the magistracy, for presiding at a meeting to express sympathy for Mr. O'Connell. A Glasgow paper says Mr. James Rodger, butcher, of Ayr, has let twe acres of Allower croft (for which he pays his landlady 21. an acre) to the committee of the Burns's festival, for one day's use, for 201. The national enthusiasm will be beneficial to one individual, at all events. -- Z.: Vincent Fitzpatrick has received from an anonymous friend 150/. towards the payment of O'Connell's fine of 2,0001. Mr. Corbally, M.P. for Meath, refuses to attend at Con ciliation-hall instead of the House of Commons, upon the summons of some of his constituents. This act of insubordi nation will most likely insure him his dismissal from the county's representation. " We hear," says the Bury Post, "that there are nine pri soners at our gaol on the charges of arson, and one for send ing threatening letters; at Ipswich gaol, ten for arson, and two for sending threatening letters; at Beccles house of cor rection, four prisoners for arson, and one for threatening to burn, waiting for trial at the next assizes. RESPITE OF DALMAS. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Kean, the Governor of Horse monger-lane Gaol, together with Mr. Under Sheriff Abbott, waited upon Sir James Graham, the Home Secretary, at the Home-office, relative to the execution of this criminal, which the High Sheriff of the county had appointed to take place this day, at nine o'clock. Up to a late period on Friday night, or even so late as Saturday noon, there was not the slightest expectation of a reprieve. On Friday afternoon the convict had made up his mind for the worst, and ex pressed himself ready for the change which awaited him. The Under-Sheriff and the Governor of the prison arrived at the Home-office about three o'clock, and had an interview with Sir James Graham, the result of which was that the Home Secretary undertook to grant a respite to the convict until this day week. _ _ We underkand that this respite has been granted in order to afford time for the completing certain inquiries respecting his case, which are still pending. On Saturday afternoon, the final interview took place between Dalmas and his daughters, which was of a heart rending description, and the unhappy young women de parted, fully impressed that they had taken their last fare well of their only surviving parent. On the respite being granted, which was placed in the hands of Mr. Kean, the Governor, that gentleman, accompanied with the chaplain of the prison, together with the surgeon, immediately went from the office of the Secretary of State to the county gaol, where they arrived about six o'clock, and proceeded to the condemned cell, to announce the intelligence to the convict. Dalmas at this period was busily employed in reading some portion of the Sacred Scriptures, recommended to his atten tion by the chaplain. The convict rose at the entrance of the gentlemen into his cell, and when the intelligence of a respite was carefully and considerately conveyed to him through the medium of the chaplain and the Governor, it was evident that it was totally unexpected, and for a few moments he was completely overpowered, but finally ex pressed his'gratitude to those gentlemen for th• interest they had taken in his behalf. Mr. Kean also caused this act of the respite to be conveyed to the daughters. SHEFFIELD, SUNDAY MORNING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.— FIRE AT LORD WHARSCLIFFE'S FARM, WORTLEY HALL— About ono o'clock this morning a large corn stack, in the stack-yard at Wortley Hall, was discovered on fire. An ex press was sent off to Sheffield, distant Eii miles for the tire-engines, which arrivedlabout three o'clock. Owing to the calmness of the night, and the great exertions of the tenants of his Lordship and the inhabitants generally, the "fire was confined to one stack, containing about sixty quarters. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Lord Wharncliffe has made himself very unpopular in the Wrest Riding for his advocacy of the new poor-laws. SUDDEN DEATH OF A WATERLOO-BRIDGE TOLL- CoLLEcTon.—Sunday night Caleb Tilt, a toll-collector of the Waterloo-bridge Company, was busily engaged in taking money on the lower Surrey side of the bridge, when sud denly he was noticed to fall back on his scat. Having been removed to the toll-house Mr. Cooke, a surgeon, was in prompt attendance, when a large quantity of blood was taken from Tilt's arm, but he never afterwards rallied, and a cab having been procured by Constable Goose, No. 160 L, he was conveyed home, where, after two or three hours he expired, it is supposed, in an apoplectic fit. The deceased hid been in his situation since the opening of the bridge. THE CONVICTS BARBER AND FLETCHER. —The subjoined document, forming a declaration of the innocence of Barber by his fellow-convict Fletcher, has been submitted to us for publication by Mr. Bramall, of Verulam-buildings, the solicitor on behalf of Barber in the late trials. It ap pears to be a complete and apparently truthful exculpation on behalf of Fletcher dills supposed participation in the will forgeries and their attendant frauds • and is made at a time when disguise or falsehood would be vain and additionally iniquitous. Barber and Fletcher are now both on board the convict-ship Agincourt, lying off Woolwich, and will sail on Tuesday next for their destination. The witness whose name is appended to the paper is, we believe, an officer of the convict-vessel : " June 28. " 1 solemnly declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, William Henry Barber had no guilty knowledge that the will of Anne Slack was a forgery, or that it was other wise than a legitimate and proper matter of business. As such it was introduced by ire to hins, as stated in my first examination at the Mansion- house. And I further declare, that to my knowledge and belief he had no guilty knowledge of either of the cases which have recently formed the subject of indictment. I make this declaration with no other motive than to do an act of justice to Mr. Barber r.s far as lies in my power. " JOSTIUA FLETCHER. " MATTHEW HALL VUTTRISS." Observer. COURT CIRCULAR.

The following has been received at Lloyd's, from the Hydrographic-office, dated June 18, 1844 : " The Norwegian Government has given notice that the following lights will be established in the course of the present year: -.7.. "Ist. Ts% 7 o fixed lights on the Island of Udsere, in lat 50 deg. 18 min. N., and lon. 40 deg. 53 see. 30 min. E. visible from eighteen to twenty miles distant. " 2d.

" In order to prevent any of the above lights from being mistaken for those of Markel and Lindersnoes, on the south point of Norway, the light of Markal will be discontinued on the Ist July next." IMPORTANT TO OWNERS AND COMMANDERS OF VESSELS. Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from their Agent at Sydney, Cape Breton, dated 12th June, 1844 : "I send you an extract from a provisional statute, whereby all ships wrecked on this coast with passengers are to be taken possession of by the Collector of the Customs, or such other person as the Lieutenant- Governor may appoint, and the proceeds made available for the maintenance and transport of the passengers to their original destinations. Perhaps it would be as well to let this circumstance be known, that masters of ships may govern themselves accordingly, and not dispose of the property without proper authority." A Supplement to Friday's Gazette was yesterday after noon published, regulating the authority of her Majesty's Consuls-General, Consuls, and Vice-Consuls in the trial of British subjects guilty of offences in the dominions of the Ottoman Porte; and Malta is the place appointed for holding such trials, and the punishment of such offenders. The General Steam Navigation Company's splendid steam-ship Soho, Captain T. Whitcombe, ar rived at Blackwall Pier yesterday, in eighteen hours and-a-half, from Antwcrp. The same Company's /nail packet Neptune, Captain H. W. Gibbs, arrived off the Tower early yesterday from Ilamburgh, with the mail of Friday. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE TOWER.—The contem plated improvements at this ancient fortress, which have been laid before his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Constabl e of the Tower, and been approved, will forthwith be com menced. The old armoury, which was destroyed by fire, has been cleared away to make room for the new barracks. The ditches are all well dried up, and sewers have been cut to carry off the soil. What was formerly a putrid and stagnant moat round the Tower will very shortly form a fine espla nade, gravelled over and planted with trees for the recreation of the garrison. There are no water mains laid down in the Tower, and the inhabitants and the troops are obliged to drink the Thames water, with all its impurities, which has been the cause of many disorders; and the spring pump in Postern-row is the only means they hav e o f procur i ng pure water. This great inconvenience has been represented to his Grace, who is at all times most ready to study the comforts of the troops, as well as of the residents of this little fortified town, the population of which amounts to 3,000, and arrane ments are in contemplation for laying down regular mains and pipes, so as to supply them with purified water. The sanatory state of the Tower since the drying of the moat is highly satisfactory. The funeral of Mr. T. lludson took place on Saturday, at the Kensal-green Cemetery. His son, Mr. 11. Hudson, was attended by a hoSt of gentlemen, all anxious to show their respect for the deceased. Messrs. Ring, Bowyn, Courtenay, Brackett, Kensitt, Grey, Peake, Brown, Sporle, and Beuler followed him to his last home. Many others who did not follow the melancholy pro cession were on the ground to pay the last tribute of respect to departed worth. THE LILLIPUTIAN WEST INDIAMAN.—SiIICe the arrival of the adventurous Lilliputian sloop Hellespont, Capt. Doe, only 43 tons register, from Bermuda, with a cargo of arrow-root, she has been for private sale, but as the amounts offered for her were considerably less than the sum demanded : by the owners, she is to sail in a few days from the St. Ka tharine's Dock, on her return to Bermuda, thus again daring the Atlantic. COLONEL STODDART AND - CAPTAIN CONOLLY. Captain Grover has received letters 'from Dr. Wolff, dated from the 12th to the 15th April, 1844. The first was written at Mere, which now belongs to Bokhara, and the last was written in the desert distant only three days' journey from the capital. Dr. Wolff says—" I advance congeently towards Bokhara, and, if the King does not stop me, in three days I shall be in the capital." The Doctor has received great kindness from the Khaleefa Abd Arrahman, who is described as the spiritual guide of the King of Bokhara,, and is dig nified with the title of Majesty. "He has given me," writes the Doctor, " letters to the King of Bokhara, and tells me positively that Stoddart is alive, Conolly not quite certain. No public exe cution had taken place of either of them ! I am his guest ; he has just now entered my room (this was at More), and showed me a letter he has written to the King of Bokhara, stating that it is o f th e hi g h est im portance that Stoddart and Conolly should be given up to me, and reparation made to England for the insult, and not to keep me longer than three days. This letter will be dispatched by an express Turcomaun, and will reach Bukhara before me, His Majesty also sends with me one of his own relations, to introduce me properly to the King of Bukhara. His Majesty also desired me to express to the Queen his ardent desire to become a sin cere friend of the British-nation." Dr. Wolff expresses his indignation in strong terms against Colonel Stoddart's confidential agent at Meshed, who had intercepted the correspondence with Bokhara • and is thankful that Colonel Slid had forwarded Cap tain Gros er's letters by an express messenger. lle says: " Had Muhzm►Led Ali Serial, Stoddart's agent, received them, the rascal would have kept them." The Doctor concludes: "I cannot write much - for the Turcomauns sit near me on the ground you must not expect long letters, for I write in a stealthy manner." Sir Rwbcrt Peel having requested Captain Grover to communicate to him " the last accounts that had been received from Dr. Wolff, relative to Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly ;" the above extracts were sent on Thursday last, the day Dr. Wolff's letters arrived ; they were communicated at the same time to Lord Aberdeen and to the Military Secretary. Captain Grover thinks it right to state, in justice to his absent friend, Colonel Stoddart, that among the nu merous letters and journals of Dr. Wolff, there is not the slightest hint or insinuation that the Colonel had become a .11ahomedan. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. A grand review of the yachts belonging to members of the above Club took place on Saturday, in honour of the noble owner of the Pearl, the Marquis Anglesey, who, upon the occasion of the sailing match on Thursday next, e x pressed to Commodore Harrison hi s d es i re t o h ave an opportun ity of seeing as many of" the fleet" as could be brought togetll on the first convenient day. Th e p o p u l ar it y o f t h e ga llon Marquis with all members o f th e Cl u b ren d ered the task ° mustering a very light duty, and the head quarters being or pointed for Blackwall, at twelve o'clock, the following yach ts were in attendance : Gnome .......Captain Meesom Mystery Lord Alfred Dig!, Blue Belle ...

As may be conceived, the s cene h ere p resen t e d by til; gay assemblage was exceedingly interesting, and the de e a being beautifully fine, the ba n k s o f th e r i ver were crow d with spectators. After going th roug h a num b er of evo l u tion s in a truely seamanlike style, the vessels took up their nie,e r ; ing, and the various commanders, with their friends, 110' 11 ° disembarked, proceeded to the Yacht Tavern, where a WO: tuous dinner bad been prepared, at which it was expected th t ; gallant Marquis would preside l as t e v en i ng . All t h e yap were were to remain at Gravesend until this evening, and rear to Blackwall together. A few days ago, as the Lord Mayor was passing through Newgate•street, in his car r i age , hi s h orses fe upon the wood pavement, and sustained serious injurf.; The splinter-bar was smashed, and the traces vill a broken, and his Lordship's ni ece , w h o was w i t h him the carriage, was naturally very much alarmed at t he accident. Indeed, an accident to a h orse on t h e wn: pavement can scarcely be called an ac c id en t an y longe, 0 The safe transit of a horse on the wood- wor k i s no w accident, atleast such is the opinion entertained in the City' ' and a letter was received by one of the City authoriti e !" from a gentleman who resides in Regent-street, commun t o eating the information of the dangerous fall of the M r Mayor's horses, and representing that the writer 0 . daily called upon to lend poles, splinter-bars, or porti oll ' of harness, to enable people to get their carriages holl and that he bad three horses suffering from injuries the spine, in consequence o f severe and struggle t 0 rise on the wood-pavement.
