Bills brought up from the Commons were agreed to, and others were hurried through the first, second, or third reading. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Seven. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock, when Sir ROBERT PEEL" gave notice, that on this day he should move that the House adjourn till Saturday, when he would propose that the House should ad journ to some future day. This announcement evi dently refers to the decision of the Judges on the Irish State Trials. Sir J. GRAHAM subsequently said that Sir R. PEEL Would make the announcement on Friday. A brief discussion took place relative to the contest betweii,n,rnince and Morocco, and the affair of Mr. PRITCUARD, but it led to no result. The Govern ment, we think wisely, gave no information. They mat be guided by the course of events, and at pre rent events are so dubious:that no statesman could give any satisfactory explanation. The report of the Roman Catholic Penal Repeal Bill was received, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time this day at three o'clock. The Insolvent Debtors Bill was 'read a third time and passed. Sir J. GRAHAM obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of medical practice through out the United Kingdom.

There ca l l bb no mistaking the evidence which this manifestation supplies of John Bull's inherent / detestation of trickery And fraud in the working out of any end, however strongliy-its expediency may be pressed upon his notice. This love of fair play—this contempt for all recourse to artifice and deception in the management of public business—i 3 only another type cf that probity and principle, which, despite his occasional selfishness, and his con stitutional surliness is the salient point of his cha. meter in all the connexions of private life. Let us hope that it will long continue to be so. It is, in any case, a noble and redeeming influence, which is sure to infuse itself, more or less, into the policy and business of his goverment at home, and of his political associations with foreign States. With regard to the transactions we have above alluded to, we doubt not that the opinions of the English public—although they may be some what modified by the " _Reports of the Select Com mittees on the Post-office," which the Houses of Lords and Commons have severally appointed, will continue to run in the same course of decided repro bation which they took from the first statement of M. MAZZINI'S case. We have perused both these " Reports, " and not withstanding the dispassionate and calm tone in which the Commons ' Committee appear to justify what has been done in this matter, on a reference to the statute of Arm ; and the more eager and decided verdict of " acquittal " with which the Lords ' Committees have absolved Sir J. GRAHAM from the charges brought against him; we venture to affirm that the finding of neither of these tribunals is justified by the evidence taken before it, or the conclusions it has founded on that evidence. The report from the " Lords " is so meagre and jejune, that we do not feel called upon to discuss it at all. That from the Commons is a much more carefully compiled document, and entitled to a much higher degree of consideration. In justice to Sir JAMES GRAHAM himself, we should premise the ob servations we are about to submit, by stating that he was certainly justified in pleading, in debate-1. That he had not exceeded the powers vested in his office by specific statutes in granting warrants for the opening of " suspected letters in their passage through her MAJESTY'S Post office." 2. That be had done no snore than most of his predecessors in office had done by issuing such warrants. (We blush to state, that in the long list cf Secretaries of State, Home and Foreign, who have so granted them, from 1712 to 1844, we find ti e names of the staunchest Whigs side by side with those of the staunchest Tories—in 1756, indeed, we have the Right Hon. H. Fox; but we have not " the" WILLIAM PITT (afterwards Earl of CHATHAM), who succeeded him in the same year. In 1782 we find the Right Hon. C. J. Fox, consenting to the same practices which seem so much more appropriate in 1812 to 1821 to Lord SIDMOUTH ; in 1822 to 1830 to Sir R. PEEL; in 1834 to the Duke of WELLING TON; and which we grieve to find equally sanctioned, between 1835 and 1839, by Lord J. RUSSELL.) 3 The blame of using M. MAZZINeS correspondence, it is indispensable to state, now appears to have rested with the Earl of ADERDE.EI4—not with Sir JAMES GRAHAM; the latter took out the hot chesnuts, and " burnt his fingers," but the former " digested their contents." We have no room to-day to do more than direct at tention to the careful manner in which the Select Committee of the house of Commons (whose " Re port " we print elsewhere at large) haire discharged their task. They seem to have been animated by a determination that, inasmuch as lawyers were carefully excluded from their body, they would do the best that in laymen lay to supply the deficiency of members of the long robe. They set out by inquiring "into the con dition of the posts in this country at various periods of our history, and into the connexion that sub sisted between them and the supreme authorities of the country"—inquiries in which they acknowledge the assistance received from " Sir F. PALGRAVE, of the Rolls-office; Messrs. LECHMERE and LEMAN, of the State Paper-office ; and Mr. REEVE, of the Council-office." At first sight this part of their re port may be thought to assume too antiquarian or perhaps too technical a character ; but it leads to important results. It establishes, as we shall show in a future article, the absolute viciousness of anything like a general warrant for the opening of several, or an indefinite number of letters, such as we apprehend Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S warrants will be found to have been. This historical resume has some omissions which we think might have been supplied, if it was worth while entering into such details at all. We do not mean, of course, that it should have remounted to the re- establishment, by CHARLEMAGNE, throughout his vast dominions, of those " posts" which had been so well organised by AuGusTus from one extremity to the other of the Roman Empire, about 830 years before. The report well distinguishes between two relations of the office of posts, which our historians are too apt to confound ; namely, that in which it was governed and discharged under the immediate authority of the Crown, for its own exclusive purposes, and that in which the Crown delegated its duties and responsibilities to some other competent autho rity, for the purposes and use of its subjects. "It does not appear," say the Committee, "at what pre cise period the Crown undertook to be the regular carrier of letters for its subjects. The Crown, doubt less, found it necessary at a very early period, to the exercise of the functions of Sovereignty, to be able to convey with speed and security its own dispatches from one part of the realm to another, and from and to parts beyond the seas ; and for that purpose it ap pointed certain messengers, or runners, called the posts.' These posts were also employed for the personal convenience of the SOVEREIGN, and the indi viduals composing the Royal Court. In course of time, a Master of the Posts' was appointed, and the first of these on record was BRIAN TURE, Knight who held that office in 1516.' " We would here venture to remark that the plan of letter "posts" may be fairly said to have an earlier origin among us. In 1481, EDWARD IV. (in emulation probably of his rival, Lotus XI., whose solicitude for early informa tion from Burgundy, and all parts of Europe, had in duced him, in 1470, according to HENAULT, to establish " post houses" throughout France), instituted a body of runners, or riders rather, on post-horses, who went each of them, throughout the whole dis tance from London to Carlisle—(not then represented by any " Sir JAMES GRAHAM")—in constant relays stages, severally, of twenty miles, so as to keep the KING and his Barons perpetually informed of what was passing in Scotland and on the Border. We shall return to the " Report" to-morrow. We doubt whether a more important debate has been raised in the House of Lords, since the com mencement of the session, than that which ensued on Monday on the motion of the Earl of MiNTo for the production of certain returns connected with the present condition of her MAJESTY'S navy, and with the amount of our naval force from September, 1842, to the latest period to which such accounts could be made out, at Otaheite. The object of the Noble Earl, in moving for the former of these classes, of papers was to demonstrate the dangerous extent to which the reduction of our efficient strength had been carried in the peace establishment of this service, settled by the present Government. The latter class would have illustrated the weakness of the armament which has at any time, since the departure of the " Vindictive" from that station, represented the naval strength of Great Britain, and upheld our national dignity in the Society Islands. It is almost needless to premise that both these motions were negatived. But Lord MINTo is entitled to the best thanks of the country for the powerful address which he de livered, and the important facts it had accumulated. It was temperate and statesmanlike in its tone, to the utmost verge of sustained abstinence from inflammatory declamation, in dealing with topics eminently calculated to provoke it. Whilst he deprecated all unnecessary agitation of any hypo thesis which must assume a rupture of those friendly relations at present subsisting between this country and France, he soberly and gravely argued the duty such a con ti ngency fully i n the face, of looking though it might be (as we believe it is) rather to be viewed as a possible than a probable one. But for our own parts, we see in our foreign intelligence of every succeeding day, only additional reasons for betaking ourselves calmly to the consideration of the best means of consolidating, improv ing, and fortifying our own position and re sources in the event of such a calamity. 'We believe, as the Marquis of CLANRICARDE happily phrased it, last night, " that we have not sufficient naval force afloat to have the effect of maintaining peace by presenting that ready front for war, which on many occasions had prevented the having recourse to war itself." And we cannot understand that refinement of political delicacy which should withold statesmen or journalists from examining, with a prudent and anxious forecast, the relations which the attitudes, offensive and defen sive, of this great country would present to certain conditions of circumstances that we do not suggest or invoke, but which are perpetually paraded before our eyes, and suggested for our contemplation, by the significant, not to say offensive, proceedings of our neighbours and—allies. The enthusiastic re sponse to an anti-English appeal in an histo rical opera at Paris, on Friday last, we are much disposed to think would have been as cor dially given in the Chamber of Deputies, in a barrack on the Marquesas Islands, at head-quarters in any part of Algeria, at the new " Government-house" in Otaheite, or in the ward-room of any of the ships forming part of the Prince Ds JoiNviuds expedi tion against the coast of Morocco. It seems to us high time—especially after the overt acts of the French authorities, to which we thus lightly allude—to look about us. And in this feeling we rather marvel—not at the assurance of the Prince DR JOINVILLE, but at the facility of the British Go vernor of Gibraltar, in reference to the modest request of the former, that the latter would not allow any English fleet entering the Mediterranean, to appear off Tangiers, whilst he, the Prince, is attacking that town and fortress. In the name of British seamanship, and British in dependence, why should not our fleet sail to any desti nation that its Commander-in-Chief may deem it pro per to make for ? Have there been, of late years, any such high principles of public honour—any such nice regard for national rights—any such respect for the usages and observances of civilised nations manifested by officers in the French service, or by their Govern ment at home, that we should trust anything to their generosity, their sense of justice, or their forbearance? Have we forgotten the profligate falsehood and duplicity—worthy of the worst days of the exe crable Directory—under which Algeria was " occu pied," and finally, in the teeth of their own solemn promises and declarations, retained and annexed to the French Crown ? Is it in their conduct towards our Consul, Mr. PRITCHARD, or their chivalrous bearing to the defenceless PoMARE, that we have guarantees for the respect to the rights of nationality, which they will show towards Europeans or other neu trals who may be established in public or private capa cities, at Tangiers? Or, in the petulance and arrogance of the young commander—whose temerity in taking away a Mexican pilot out of an English steamer, not properly punished at the time, has intoxicated him with a silly vanity ever since ; are we to hope for a dignified vindication of an asserted insult upon his own country, without trespassing on the rights and authorities of others ? The statement of Lord MINTO has astonished us. It would appear, for the Earl of PADDINGTON did not attempt to deny his facts, that we have but nine sail of the line in commission —two of these in the East Indies, two in the West, one about to sail for the Pacific (the flag ship of the Admiral commanding at Cork), two others in our home ports, and one more, forming the whole unit of our fleet in the Mediterranean Well might the Noble Earl ask whether this, in reference to the aspect of affairs on the coast of Morocco, or Algiers, was a safe, a fitting, or even a respectable strength for our Mediterranean fleet, especially seeing that, though one other, a first-rate, was on the point of being sent out to join it, it was impossible to provide reinforce ments for that station without taking our guard-ships, and so leaving our coasts and harbours defenceless. The " 'Queen," on her recent arrival fromtheMedi- - , terranean, had been immediately paid off. He re minded the House that when the late Government retired, we had a fleet of twenty-six sail-of-the-line, seventeen of which were stationed in the Mediter ranean. This was a force on which retrench- ment, if such was the object of the pre sent Board of Admiralty, might have been largely practised, without dismantling and dis organising the entire fleet, and then commission ing a few other ships. "It was much more easy to keep up a fleet when once formed, than suddenly to raise up one, when required." Adverting to the Otaheite case, Lord MINTo said the native Govern• ment had been deposed by an usurpation not recog nised " by France, and certainly not by us, by the Captain of a French ship, who deposed the QUEEN, and seized the island in the name of France." But here we beg the reader to observe, that Otaheite remains in the possession of France : that whilst the disavowal of thatofficer's act is feebly and jesuitically made by M. GUIZOT, the Chambers—Baron Durex, of the foremost among their members, especially—uphold and applaud it ; and the Parisian public sanctions and rewards it by the gift of a magnificent sword. What we wish to know is—where is this principle of territorial seizure and occupation on the part of France to stop ? When are we, or other States, to interpose effectually to restrain it ? Or is it • to be left to a subordinate (secretly instructed probably, beforehand) to take forcible possession of whatever lands he can get in what ever hemisphere; to a French Cabinet to can vass the feelings of the Chambers on the proceeding and the acquisition; and to a French Minister, in the event of finding that favourable, to go through the formalities of a disavowal on paper, unscrupulously false in intention—a fraudulent correspondence with our Government, based on its asserted concurrence in our reprobation of the measure—and in due time, after a change or two of Ministry, a diplomatic note, announcing the fact of the territory so purloined being, by an irrevocable decree of the KING and the Chambers, annexed to France. By the time our honest friends have established themselves in some of the finest countries of the ancient Numidia, the Earl of HADDINGTON, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and even the Earl of ABERDEEN, who impounds sealed correspondence in our Post-office, and the findings of courts-martial on too vigilant and spirited officers like Lieutenant GRAY, on the application of our excellent Allies; will begin to have their suspicions, we suppose, aroused. We have only room to direct attention to this passage, towards the close of Lord MINTO'e speech : "Instead of the navy being in the condition in which it was when we quitted office, the Government have left our own shores completely defenceless, so that there was nothing to prevent the French from sweeping the Mediterranean, sweeping the Channel, and cutting off all our trade to the West Indies. God forbid he should talk of such a state of things as probable, but he talked of it as possible, at a time when the state of affairs abroad forbade us to live in blind security." To this fearful remonstrance Lord HADDINGTON, in effect, replied only by contrasting the amount of former peace establishments of our navy with the present; as if former periods of peace necessarily resembled the present : and the Duke of WELLINGTON, by expres sing his conviction tliat "somebody" would be made responsible, some day, by some French Government, for that outrage on our Consul, which the Gallant Duke facetiously called "an eccentricity." Accounts from Madrid, dated the Ist inst., state that the decree suspending the sales of national pro perty, and restoring the unsold property to the clergy, subject to the approbation of the Cortes, was daily expected to be published. According to a letter from Cadiz of the 27th, nearly all the French inhabi tants had been allowed to leave Tangiers, and all the foreign consuls had left, except the English; 200 persons of all nations had arrived at Gibraltar. The British squadron was lying there on the 26th. Senor HERRERA, formerly Minister of the Interior, died at Madrid on the 29th ult. Madrid Bourse on the 30th, Three per Cents., 26i, at 60 days; Treasury Bonds, 54'1 at 60 days. The French Chambers were prorogued on Monday by a Royal ordonnance. On the assembling of the Chamber of Deputies M. DE LA ROCHEJACQUELIN ad dressed the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and said he trusted the Assembly would not separate without re plying to the insulting language used by the Prime Minister of England in speaking of two naval officers of France. The Government was in a delicate posi tion, but had it acted with more firmness Great Bri tain would not have dared to ask for reparation. M. BILLAULT and M. BEERTEE made similar remarks, when M. GUIZOT observed that the question at issue should be left to the decision of the two Governments ; that he would attend to it carefully, and that the Chamber might rest convinced that be would do everything in his power to uphold the honour and rights of the French navy. The Royal ordonnance was then read, and the Chamber separated with cries of " Vive le Roi." The opposition journals still comment with much bitterness on the PRITCHARD affair, but they do not advance one new argument or fact. The following statement relative to the affairs of Morocco appears in the Journal des Debats : " We believe that the news received from Morocco leaves scarcely any doubt that hostilities have been commenced. Letters from Cadiz state that the French Consul at Tangiers was obliged to use the utmost precautions in effecting his em barkation, and the authorities of Morocco have detained the Chancellor of the Consulate and a great portion of the French residents. It has been said that the first act of the war will be the bombardment of Tangiers by the Prince de Joinville, but this we think to be an error. Tangiers 'ought to be con sidered a European town, being the centre of Christian com merce, and its bombardment would inflict an immense injury upon the resident foreigners, without doing any harm to , the Emperor of Morocco. We are informed that the Prince de ' Joinville has instructions to attack the ports which are purely national, such as blogadore, Mazagan, Salee, and Larache." The Siecle says : " The accounts from Morocco published by the Govern ment extend to the 23d ult., whilst a private correspondent of a Spanish journal writes as follows from Gibraltar on the 25th—the facts, however, require confirmation All that has been reported relative to a sanguinary action fought be tween the French and the Arabs is true. The French had the advantage, but they lost among their killed a general officer. Yesterday a vessel arrived from Oran, with pressing dispatches for the Prince de Joinville. The commander of the Danish fleet, who proceeded to Tangier, announced to the Emperor that Denmark would no longer pay tribute. He has since returned to Gibraltar with his fleet, where he is waiting the result of the affair with the French. A report prevails of a fresh and more sanguinary action having been fought between the Moors and the French. It is moreover stated, that whilst the Moors proclaim war against France, they appear to wish to remain at peace with Spain.' " The Constitutionnel justly observes : " The affair of Morocco occupies much more attention in London than that of Otaheite. If a rupture were to take place, it is much less likely to be caused by the events which have occurred in the South Seas, than by those which are prepar ing on the north-west of Africa."

The Com.. mission was dispatched by the Lord Chancellor to her Ma jesty by a special messenger, who went by the nine o'clock train from Paddington on Monday evening. It was men tioned to the Queen that a Commission requiring her signa ture had arrived, but that she need not si g n it u ntil the following morning. About five o'clock, however, feeling that her accouchernent was fast approaching, and with that pre sence of mind so characteristic of her recollecting that an important public document was in the Castle awaiting her signature, she immediately directed it to be brought, and although not free from pain and anxiety, affixed her signa ture with the same freedom of hand as usual, to the Com mission, and.the sheets of parchment upon which the names of the Bills were inscribed. As there were seven sheets of parchment, the signature of the Queen was required to be as often repeated.

DESTRUCTION OF BLAMPHAYNE HOUSE.—Letters were on Tuesday received announcing the outbreak of a destructive fire at Colyton, a few miles from Exeter, and which totally burnt down one of the most antique struc tures in that part of the country, called Blamphayne House, the seat of Sir Edward Marwood Etton, but which was tenanted at the time of its loss by a gentle man named Parry. Its ancient construction and pic turesque situation formed a very great attraction in the county, it having been erected in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, by Mr. Thomas Marwood, one of Sir Edward's ancestors. The mansion was of considerable extent. The fire, it appears, broke out last Wednesday, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was supposed that from age, the brickwork of the roof had in some way parted, and formed a cavity under the rafters, where the soot collected, j and the flue of one of the chimneys taking fire, soon communicated to the mass, for the upper part of the building was in flames before the alarm was given, and the domestics encountered some difficulty in preserving themselves. Every endeavour was made to check the entire demolition of this interesting edifice, but all was of no avail, and within an hour after the discovery the building, with all its ancient relics, was reduced to ruins. The loss is very considerable, and it is understood that the seat was not insured.

It is understood that the Judges will meet, upon their re turn from the several circuits, on Monday, the 26th inst., to consider of their judgment on the writ of error in the State Trials. The judgment will probably be delivered in the House of Lords on the following Wednesday or Thursday. The nomination for Dudley takes place on Thursday, and the polling on Friday. Mr. Benbow, Government candidate, and Mr. Rawson, supported by the Anti-Corn-law League, are equally confident of success. A meeting was held in Finsbury chapel, Moorfields, on Tuesday, for the purpose of considering the recent aggres sions of the French in the island of Otaheite, and passing resolutions upon the subject. Among others, the following resolution was passed :—" That the meeting felt that the good fame and honour of Great Britain was compromised by the denial to Queen Pomare of the repeatedly solicited pledge of protection given by Mr. Canning in 1827, and by the withdrawal of the English naval force from Otaheite." The polling in the parish of St. Saviour's, Southwark, for a church-rate, closed on Tuesday, when it was found that the numbers were equal, there being for the Bd. rate, 152 ; and for the 6d. rate, 152—0 n which the warden gave the casting vote for the Bd. rate, observing that he should have been happy to have done with a 3d. or 4d. rate, but as the parish had to pay nearly 7001. to the Exchequer Loan Commission ers, and that, coupled with the necessary repairs, the rate, if wholly collected, would only leave him at the expiration of his year of office, 421. to pay over to his successor. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 9ipermille which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 1. per aunce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 39 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 50, it follows that gold is 0.43 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 433 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. 141 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9 and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 94, it follows that gold is 0.12 dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.08 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted fron' the above difference. HAYMARKET THEATRE. This theatre closed last night, after an unusually pro tracted season, the result of which, we are happy to perceive, has been very favourable to the interests of the management, while it must have been no less so to the numerous establishment which the tact and enterprise of Mr. Webster keeps so well and so constantly em ployed. The performances were the Taming of the Shrew, the Trumpeter's Daughter, and the Milliner's Holiday. The incident of the evening was of course the farewell address of the manager, which is far more buoyant and cheerful in its tone than very many theatrical and managerial farewells we have had occasion to listen to. We sin cerely congratulate Mr. Webster on the success of his exertions, and the extent of the support he has received, both which, as appears by the following he gracefully alludes to _ . Ladies and Gentlemen,—ln times when it is supposed that the drama is in the last stage of decline, it is with more than ordinaryfeelings of ride thatl have to thank you for the patronage which enables me to close a most profit able season of upwards of 400 nights, not having had oc casion to mulct the performers of one night's salary, even for a rehearsal ; and I should confidently proceed with out the slightest interval but for the necessary repairs and cleansing, consequent upon the length of a season unparalleled in the annals of legitimate theatres. The offer of a prize of 5001., with large contingent advantages, for a comedy illustrative of modern English manners, was made from no ostentatious display, but from a sincere wish to rouse up the dormant energies of writers (fur I will not believe that dramatic talent is dead amongst us), and to endeavour to bring new blood into the vein of wit and humour that was wont to make these walls to ring again with mirth and laughter. From the tried hands of dramatic authorship during the last three years, I could not obtain the shadow of comedy, either for love or money. The result has not been commensurate with my hopes, but still, while honoured with such liberal and constant supporters, I do not despair of yet producing something worthy of your encouragement, and the high character of the British drama. The revivals of the works of past dramatists have met with distinguished approbation, and the highly successful production of Shalispeare's Taming . of the Shrew, unm u til a t e d and unaided by scenic effects, gratifyingly proves that the public mind is still alive to filo writing and a we ll wrought play. With feelings of the deepest gratitude. and on the part of my brother and sister actors, until the 31st of September next, I most respectfully bid you farewell.
