No positive fact was stated. Everything depended on contingencies. The strong Government has lost all its power, and trusts to the chapter of accidents. It would appear, I however, that the obnoxious and partial Bill, called the Irish Registration fill, is to be pressed on the i House on Monday. We trust every Liberal Member will be in his place, and fight the battle on this question to the lost. Why make Ire ; and an exception ? Why interfere with the registration of electors in that country, while Eng land and Scotland are to be left as they were by the Reform Bill ? While Ireland calls out for a repeal of the union, the British Parliament is doing everything in its power to make that call more effectual. Lord PALMERSTON put a question to Sir JAMES GRAHAM relative to the gaming laws, but the Home Secretary could give no satisfactory answer. In answer to a question from Mr. B. COCHRANE, relative' to the fate of Colonel STODDART and Captain CONOLLY, Sir ROBERT PEEL said that on Thursday or Friday next he would give him the latest inform, don in possession of the Government. Mr. VILLIERS then brought on his motion for a repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. FERRAND moved an amendment, which will be found in the Parliamentary report. This motion occupied the House for the remainder of the evening. The debate was adjourned. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One.

Ater which a new Divertir,s ment„ caned [he SLAVE MART. And other Eutataitunents. Mr. DUNCOMDE, who is one of the few really honest men—the rani nantes in gurgite mita —that the pre sent house or Commons possesses, and whose speeches are uniformly characterised by that straightforward ness, good sense, and intrepidity, which are among the best qualities of a statesman, brought forward last night the important question of opening letters at the Post-office—a practice which the Home Secretary has not thought it beneath him to sanction with his direct approval, and which the Premier, though with the longest and sourest face that ever man yet made, has vainly endeavoured to justify. Not only, as appears from Mr. DUNCOMBE'S statement, have the private letters of Captain STOLZMAN, M. MAZZINI, and God knows how many other persons, been opened at the General Post-office by order of the spotless GRAHAM, but the affair has been transacted in the most mysterious manner possible, and with a skill and science which convinces us that the parties engaged are adepts in the Work, and could not fail to achieve high distinction as burglars and crackamen, were they ever to turn their attention that way. "Every care," said the Hon. Member fur Finsbury, " had been taken to avoid suspicion ; impressions had been taken from the seals, and from these the opened letters were re , sealed, and the cut was made so clean that it required almost a microscope to discover it. There were also double impressions made with the official stamp, so that the date when the letters were received at the Post office could not be ascertained." Now wherefore all these mean, tricky precautions, savouring so strongly ef the genius of petty larceny, if the act were one per fectly defensible at law, justified by frequent prece dent, and in strict accordance with the ordinary usages of the Home-office ? If it was absolutely ne cessary that the thing should be done, it should have been done boldly, and not in this burglarious fashion. " That the power of opening letters was vested in the Secretary of State," observed Mr. DUNCOMBE, " he admitted, but it was only to be exercised in cases in which internal sedition or domestic trea son was apprehended." Now, in the instances of Messrs. STOLZMAN and • Mazzisa, no plea of the sort could be urged in justification; neither of these gentlemen had ever interfered in the politics of the country ; consequently the official violation of their correspondence was an act of the most gratuitous treachery and despotism. And what was the defence set up by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in reply to the Mem ber for Finsbury's charges? He was warranted, for sooth, in acting as he had done, on the faith of a law almost as obsolete as that which sanctioned the use of the torture, the burning of witches, the wager of battle, and other such monstrosities I And was this all that the Home Secretary had to urge in arrest of judgment ? Oh, no ! The richest part of his de fence is yet to come. He denied the authority of the 'IHEArEE ROY AL LYCEUM, LATE ENGLISR HOU'SE. Under the Managemeut of Mrs. KEELEY.

Does he forget his past political doings ? Does he forget his numer- ous Protean changes and tergiversations from Wtra- Pbadicalism to 11 7 higism, from Whizism to Toryism, ncl from Toryism to any other Las that has suited the views of his master and the exigencies of the moment ? Does Sir JAMES GRAHAM forget all this ? If he i 3 conveniently oblivious of the past, the right thinking portion of the community are not ; and when they read his defence, and more espe cially Ws allusion to his " conscience," greatly indeed shall we be mistaken if they do - not experi ence a nausea aliin to that of sea-sickness. To find the Devil quoting Scripture is bad enough ; but to find the Home Secretary talking of his "conscience' is, if possible, still worse. Poor Sir RoBERT PEEL ! He is really greatly to be pitied for the exhibition he was compelled to make last night; though when we bear in mind how often he has dragged others through the dirt, we ought scarcely to feel regret that he is now dragged through it himself. Never had this consummate master of specious common-place so little to say for himselfor his colleague, in reply to the rushing attack of Mr. MAcAuLAT. In vain he endeavoured to thrc;v over the case a fine coating of sophistry. The naked facts stared through the var nish. " iie thought," he said, " that his Right Hon. Friend was justified in exercising the power he had done." Mark the safe, discreet, wily wording of this sentence, so characteristic of the Premier's charac- ter ! He was not positive that the Home Secretary had acted rightly; he only "thought" he had—a most convenient mode of defending his col league, which commits him to no decided opinion, but enables him to back out of an ugly pre dicament, and even throw Sir JAMES GRAHAM overboard, whenever it may suit his • views of ex- pediency to do so. We do most earnestly hope that the people `•ill mark their sense of the Home Secre tary's conduct, by holding public meetings on the _ _ subject in every county, city, and town, throughout the length and breadth of the land. They may rely on it that the evil will not stop at the point which it has now reached. The principle that private letters may be opened at the Post-office being once sanc tioned by Government, will soon engender a regular system of official espionage, under whose inquisitorial tyranny no man can be safe. If one individual's corre- spondence may be violated by authority without a why or a wherefore, why should not another's ? Dr. PHlLL rorxs, for instance, may indite a moving epistle to the Ecclesiastical Commission, requesting that his _ _ rich and long-lamented rectory of Stanhope may be restored to him ; the Member for Evesham, finding politics a more honourable than Iterative profession, may: address a letter to the Manager of the Surrey, requesting that he may be again allowed to play Othello for his benefit at that theatre ; and both these strictly private and confidentia communications may be violated by order of the Home Secretary, and the greatest possible shock be thereby inflicted on the delicate sensibilities of the unsuspecting writers. The principle—whether legal or not—of opening letters intended solely for the perusal of those to whom they are addressed, is a most iniquitous -tea most unjustifiable one, suited only to the meridian of St. Petersburgh ; and, there fore, one can hardly wonder at finding it sanctioned by a Conservative Government, and supported by a majority of forty-four sycophantic Conservatives ! The subject of railroad travelling, and, in con nection with it, the marvellous improvement s an d advances in the art of locomotion which al mos t every week's experience des - elopes or i mproves, are matters of such universal interest in this country, that the Legislature appears to be impressed with "a salutary sense of its own responsibility in dealin g with them. They come home, in fact, to the every day business of every man. They concern equally his business and his pleasure.

' In the House of Lords the Earl of RADNOR moved ;fiat an address be presented to the QUEEN, for copies ( If al l warrants issued by th e H ome S ecre t ary f or (*ening letters at the 'Post-office. The Duke of 'WELLINGTON said he had no knowlc (1: 5 , e of the sub jfect himself, but as power was given to the Secretary ( . ?f State to open letters on certain conditions, he must oppose the motion. Several o th er P eers made speeches on the subject, most of . them condemning this despotic system, and the motion was ultimately lvithdrawn. .. The Charitable Bequests Bill was read a second time, and at the rising of the House Lord CAMPBELL gave notice that on Tuesday he would move th e third reading of the Law of Libel Bill. In the Commons, after many petitions had been presented, Lord J. ItussLm. put some questions to Sir li. PEEL relative to the state of affairs between 'Morocco and France, and intimated, in language not to .be misunderstood, that the appointment of the Prince . DE JOINVILLE to command the expedition was a matte' . of serious importance. We have no apprehensons of .the kind. The young Admiral goes cut with instruc tions from his father, and though he may be very an ttious to make a dash and show off among the 'Moors Of Tanjiers and Mogador, the affair will all end ...in mere display. The Emperor of MOROCCO • has conducted himself, as far as we can judge from the French papers, with the greatest imprudence, and cannot expect support from this country. Sir Y. 17 PEEL said he knew nothing more of the last affair than what had been communicated by the telegraphic dispatch,. The French Government, however, had • . assured Lord AsIEBEEN that nothing was further ' I trom their intention than to enter into hostilities with Morocco. • - Lord Joici Russrii: said he might, possibly, at endurance is measured only by the supply of a shoplo vapour, and the capacity of machinery to resist its expansive pressure ; and is regulated by the limita tions of its employer's pleasure, through means of the simplest imaginable construction—applied with, at ease, a certainty and a facility of control, that seems magically disproportionate to the terrible poe. - er and the enormous bulk to be acted upon. If such be the mechanical triumphs of this wonderful application of steam power to locomo tion, the moral effects of that application have been yet more wonderful. Local prejudices and district prepossessions have been more sensibly extinguished, during the 10 years for which our principal lines of railway have been opened, than they had been in the previous half century. Sections of society, between whom it has been customary to imagine there existed almost instinctive animosities, have been more largely brought together in the course of railway communi cations than, without these aids, in the lapse of very many years would probably have been the case. The reciprocal isolation of the capital and the provinces is fast disappearing; and in less than another decade we may, find it a favourite relaxation with the farmers of Caithness to traverse the wealds of Sussex, and for experimental reclaimers of the moors in Cornwall or Devonshire to inspect upon the spot the turnip hus bandry of Norfolk. By an analogous prccess, this growing interchange of opinions and intelligence and observation may, at no distant period, push the march of agriculture into districts, the capabilities of whose soils have not yet been adequately tested ; and establish manufactures in localities where the power of raising raw material has been hitherto little more than sus pected. It may be found that hops may be taught to flourish in the north as well as the south of these islands ; and that there are still large wastes in the home counties, those adja cent to the metropolis, on which the enterprise, sagacity, - and industry of cultivators from bleak but improved and productive sections of the border coun ties of England and Scotland, may raise excellent crops of barley and farinaceous produce. Par more sanguine than these were the anticipations under which Dr. CAMPBELL, seventy years ago, developed in his " Political Survey of Great Britain," the natural resources of these kingdoms. To an extent far more extraordinaryhave his views been since verified MONE )(AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. Consols left off at 98i to 1, being therefore the same as in the morning.

There are no ship arrivals to-day with late news of any general interest. The many reports we have heard upon the subject of the iron duties in the States of the Zoll Verein have necessarily led to a good deal of speculation and assertion as to what is really intended, and we are agiin thrown into a state of un certainty by the statement in advices from Germany of the in tended raising of the duties on and after the Ist of September next. The impost upon the raw foreign material will, it is said, be ten silver grosehens, and upon wrought iron, &0.. there will be proportionable charges. The more absurd feature, however, is the levying of an export duty of 7i silver gros chens. The Belgian engineers are obtaining in some quarters, it would seem, the preference over our own, arrangements hav ing been concluded with a party of some standi ng i n B e l g i um to proceed with a b o dy of his countrymen to Mexico, for the purpose of constructing a railway, which Santa Anna has or dered from Vera Cruz to San Juan. The private bankers are reported to be against the Three Months' Average Circulation Amendment. The funds have been slightly influenced by the accounts from. Paris of the commencement of hostilities between France and Morocco, and the opposition to the Government plans for the formation of the railroads. The caprice exhibited, how ever, may materially retard the extension of the railway system on the other side of the Channel. The Sugar Bill, here, as a political question involving a trial of Ministerial strength, does not exercise any further influence on prices. Consols for the opening have been 984 to ex-dividend.

A letter, dated Bayonne of the 20th, contains the following remarks, which, probably, are more true than the fulsome reports published in the Madrid journals : "The people of Barcelona appear to take very little in terest in the movements of the Spanish Queens. Altogether their Majesties have met with a very cold reception from the Catalans. If it were not for the soldiers in their new uni forms, and the coaches and horses of the Ambassadors, and General Narvaez ' Barcelona would be very dull. " Several insulting pasquinades, reflecting upon Queen Christina, have been affixed to the walls of the Palace and against the Theatre in the Rambla. " Queen Isabella continues her course of sulphurisediepid baths, but the irruptions on her face and hands remain the same." CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock ............ BRITISH FUNDS. 3 ........ .

We regret to find from the Paris papers of Sunday that the troops of the Emperor of MOROCCO have made another attack upon the French troops under General LAMORICIERE, and according to the account given by General BUGEAUD, in a most unfair and treacherous manner. These facts are announced in the following telegraphic dispatch : "TOULON, JUNE 23, 8 O'CLOCK, A.M. "I,ALLA MARGULk, JUNE 16. "TIIE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF ALGERIA TO THE MINISTER. OF WAR.

The other intelligence in the papers is not of much mportance. The amendment carried on Saturday, n the Chamber of Deputies, in opposition to the Government plan for the construction of railroad; has caused some sensation, but as the majority was so small, and the Government are determined to adhere to the Bill passed in 1842, the vote will probably be reversed. The Journal des Debats, however, regards this difference between the Chamber and the Govern ment in a serious light. " The Chamber of Deputies," it says, "has adopted an amendment which places the expense of fixing rails on the Paris and Lyons Rail road to the account of the State; and, consequently, as far as regards that railroad, completely reFeals the system of the Bill of 1842. We might urge that this amendment was carried by a majority of only one voice-138 against 137—and maintain that it was an insignificant vote. Wemight assert, that it was possible to avoid this result, and that the Chamber, evidently uncertain, might have been induced to adhere to the Bill of 1842 by the expression of a determination to uphold that Bill on the part of Ministers. But we shall be completely candid, we shall conceal nothing. This determination of the Chamber is a serious one. A law admitted two years since as a compromise between the different systems which paralysed each other, again sanctioned a few days since after an ani mated debate on the occasion of the Bordeaux Rail road, and now completely lacerated—a mode of exe cution which obtained the most votes, which opened an extended career to private industry, and which gave guarantees for the prompt completion of a net work of railroads by connecting the State, not only by an indefinite engagement towards the country, but by an obligatory contract with respect to conces sionary companies. There is no doubt but that the Government will explain their intention before the Chamber of Deputies on Monday next." This pre posterous vote the Siecle states was caused entirely by a remarkable speech made by M. GAUNIER PAGES, who condemned the system of companies, and con tended that railway tariffs should be placed on the same footing as Customs' tariffs. HULL, JUNE 22.—S1d. Integrity, Ichabo e .

CHINESE RANSOM.—The further instalment of this ransom, which was brought home in her Majesty's ship Wanderer from China, has been deposited in her Majesty's Mint by J. W. Cooper, Esq., of her Majesty's Treasury, by whom, by order of the Government, it was received from on board the ship. The treasure was conveyed to London by the South Western Railway Company, under the charge and superintendence of Mr. Cooper, escorted by Lieutenant Isaac and a party of the 59th Foot. The treasure is now preparing for sale, after being assayed, on account of her Majesty's Exchequer. The soldier-like and neat appearance of the detachment of the 59th Regiment attracted general attention. OPENING LETTERS.—FPW persons are aware how letters are opened and re-sealed by the Post-oftice. Wafers are opened by the application of moist ure , an d sea l ed letters are opened thus :—The letter is laid on an anvil with the seal up, upon the seal is laid a square piece of pure lead, and upon this lead descends a hammer with considerable velocity. The sudden impact converts the lead into a seal as faithful as an electrotype, and accordingly is used to re-seal the letter which is now opened by destroying the wax bit by bit. For all letters si m il ar ly sea l e d, th e l ea d seal will do. A blun •derer in the management must have recently led to suspicion. In small country towns, curious postmistresses keep by there an assortment of seals, with impressions of hearts, darts, Ike., for the purpose of enabling them to get at little secrets.— Liverpool Paper. FIRE AT Susi - ED.—On Saturday afternoon, about three o'clock, a fire broke out at Jenkins Farm, two miles from Braintree, in the occupation of Mr. Newton King, who was at the time at Bardtield fair, and who, on his return home, between five and six o'clock, found his premises in flames. The fire commenced in the interior of a thatched barn, at the lower end of the farm-yard, and rapidly communicated to a large double barn, which extended nearly the whole of the eastern side of the farm-yard, almost to the back of the dwel ling. house. Both barns with their contents were in a short time consumed; fortunately there was but little wind at the time, the slight breeze that prevailed lay in a direction fa vourable to the preservation of the dwelling and the rest of the extensive range of farming buildings and stock, there being several stacks on the other side,- A boy employed on the farm is in custody on suspicion of having wilfully set the premises on fire.—Esser Herald. DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO DROWN A LAD.—MOR day, at the Feltham Petty Sessions, held at the Red Lien, in the village of Feltham, near Houuslow, a man named Fair man Marshall, a farming labourer, living at Stanwell, was charged, before M r . C. Devon (Chairman), Captain Carpen ter, and Messrs. J. Roe and A. Wood, the sitting magistrates, with having on the previous evening attempted to drown a lad named James Hanley, 16 years of age, iu a river belong ing to his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, at Stanwell It appeared from the evidence that, on the previous day (Sunday), a number of persons (about twenty), including the prisoner, hired a boat, called a " mud boat," drawn by a horse, to go an excursion down the stream in question as far as Longford. The injured lad had the care of the horse, and towed the boat under the bridges, &c., and on their return in the evening, about eight o'clock, got into the boat. The prisoner ordered him out several times, but the lad paid no atttnton to him, upon which the prisoner put his arms round his waist and threw him into the stream, and, not satisfied with that, he pushed the lad to the bottom of the water, which was near six feet deep. The prisoner took no further care of the lad, who was, however, got out by some persons oa shore, at which time his nose was bleeding. After the lad's clothes were wrung, he again followed the boat, and got on board of it at Pennyoalt-bridge, where he became insen sible, and was conveyed in that state to his father's house, where he was attended by Mr. Curtis, a surgeon. He, how ever, continued insensible untilyesterday morning, and a certi - ficate from Mr. Curtis was produced before thebench to prove that the injured youth was quite unable to attend the exami nation. Police-sergeant Regailsford, T 26, stated that, upon apprehendi , g the prisoner, about two o'clock that morning, he did not deny the charge, but said they might drown him for what he cared. The prisoner was remanded until Mon day next, n order that the state of the lad may be ascertained. The Three per Cents. were quoted at TORTONI'S OD Sunday at 82f. 45c. THE WEATußa.—After a drought of almost un exampled duration a complete change has at last taken place. For the last few days partial showers had fallen, but owing to the dryness of the earth, and the great heat, they produced little effect. The grass in all the parks had been literally " done brown;'' there was not the slightest symptom of verdure, and the owners of cattle and s h eep were obliged to feed them with hay to preserve them from ,starvation. The barometer for the last two days has been falling, and yesterday morning about five o'clock, a most refreshing rain commenced, which has hitherto continued without intermission. We are glad to find from the provincial journals that the weather has not been so dry in the country, am! the dullness of the grain market would lead to the belief that the crops, if we except the hay crop, have not suf fered much. Their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Sutherland, &c., have intimated their intention of being present at the performance of Mendelssulin's Oratorio at Exeter ball on Friday evening. Madame Vestris and Mr. Charles Mathews, after playing a limited number of nights at the Yarmouth and Norwich Theatres, proceed to fulfil an engagement at the Dublin Theatre.

A meeting of the Jockey Club was held on Saturday hut pursuant to advertisement. Present— Right Hon. G. S. Byng, • The Earl of Stradbrok e , . Stewards. Hon. Colonel Anson Colonel Peel Earl of Chesterfield Earl of Ross} C. C. Grevilk, Esq. ' J. V. Shellev, Esq. General Grosvenor V. S. Stanley, Esq. J. Hohisworth, E sq . J. R. Udney, Esq. This meeting having assembled to consider the question 01 the age 4' the horse Leander, and having heard evidence, an. fully satisfied that Leander was four years old when he rail for the Derby; they therefore resolve— First. That Messrs. Lichtwald, the owners of Leander. shall be for ever disqualified for entering or running any horse in their own nam e , or i n t h e name of any other person, at any race where the rules and regulations of the Jockey Club are recognised. Secondly. That Mr. Ley, whose horse ran second for a Twors•old Stake at Ascot in ,1843, when Leander came iu first, is entitled to those stakes. Several of the members who were present at the above meeting attended again on Monday, the 24th. when it wa, resolved that the evidence be printed, and that no opinion should at present be expressed as to the trainer in this matter. EVIDEXCE. Mr. Forth, on his examination, states—Leander was sent ,o my stables during the Goodwood races in 1842 ; he was hen a large, coarse-looking colt. I tried him on or about August 24,-1843, with Venus, at 31bs, she being then three years (.1t1; Leander won the trial two or three' lengths. l then suspected that Leander might be three years old. I left home to go Warwick races early in September, 1 843, and did not return till N ovem b er or December. I took no steps to ascertain Leander's age till February, 1844, when Mr. Wood, veterinary surgeon, having been sent for by me to attend two sick horses, I asked him to examine a horse's mouth ; he did so, and said he was a backward three years-old. I said the horse is Leander. I asked him to give a certificate to the effect that Leander is three-years-old, which he did. This satisfied me. I took the lower jaw of Leander to Mr. Field, veterinary surgeon, in Oxford -street, on Saturday after Epsom races. From all the circumstances which have since transpired:l have no doubt now that Lean der was four years old when he ran for the Derby Stakes. Mr. Wood, veterinary surgeon at Arundel, says :—I was de sired to examine the mouth of a horse in Feb.,1844. He was a dark bay horse with black legs. I declared him to be three years old. Mr. Forth told me afterwards that the horse whose mouth I examined was Leander. Mr. Forth asked me to give a certificate that Leander was three years old, which I did. (Mr. Wood was then shown the lower jaw of a horse; he said at once, that is the jaw of a three years' old horse; he was then desired to examine the Jaw, and to state to the Club why he thought it that of a three 3 ears' old ? He did so, and then said, it is the jaw of a four years old; the lower teeth do not reach that length till a horse is four years old, or nearly so The jaw pro duced was Leander's jaw, which had been in llr. Fie!d's cus tody since Epsom races. I examined the horse in February, rather carelessly, and thought he was three years old. I think that in the apace of three months such an alteration as that between the horse I examined in February; and the jaw now produced; could hardly have taken place. • Mr. Field, veterinary surgeon, says Mr. Forth called on me after Epsom races, and left in my care the lower jaw of a horse which I now produce, which he said was Leander's jaw ; it is decidedly the jaw of a four years old horse. The upper jaw now produced is also that of a four year old; the whole being put together exactly fits; I can always decide between a three aft:l a four year old without doubt. Mr. Bartlett, veterinary surgeon, being called in, says the head of a horse, which I now produce, was examined by me at Leatherhead on Mav 25 ; the lower jaw had been previously cut off. The head has been in my possession ever since; it is the head of a four years old horse. The lower jaw no, produced exactly fits and belongs to the head. Col. Anson told me, on the 25th of May, when I examined the head, this! it was Leander's head. I cam:a he mistaken between the age of a three years old and a four years old, nor can I between a two and a three years old, unless some trick has been played. Mr. Mitchell says—•l saw Leander lyi ng on t h e ground after he was shot. I thought he had the mouth of a young three-year old, and desired that his lower jaw might be cut off for the satisfaction of Mr. Forth. I do not know a two year old from a three 'year old, nor a three-year old f rom a four-year old. I ca n g i ve no opinion as to the age of the horse whose jaw is now produced. I was not aware that what appeared in the newspapers with my signature at tached would be pr.nted. Mr. Forth. jun., having attended on the 24th of June to bear the evidence of his father read, says—l went to Mt. Wood on Monday after the last Epsom races, and asked him if he remembered examiug Leander's mouth in February last, he said he did; he thought him then three years old. I asked him to give a certificate to that effect which he did, Mr. Forth produced the certificate, which was dated Ma 27, 1844. . IRELAND. THE STATE PRISONERS-31EET1NG IN DUNDALK. DUBLIN, JUNE 23.—A very numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the county of Louth was held in Dundalk on Friday, "for the purpose of addressing Mr. O'Connell acid the other convicted conspirators,' and pro moting the great national cause of repeal." The Newry Ex aminer estimates the numbers present at 3,000. Amongst those on the platform were Captain Seaver, ex J. P. ; IL De Verdun, Esq., ex J. P. ; 0. Mackey, Esq.; T. D. Manlon, Esq. ; Very Rev. Dr. Coyne, P. P., &c. Nicholas Mackey, Esq., presided. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting; after which an address to Mr. O'Connell was adopted. BANBRIDGE, COUNTY Dowx.—A meeting to address Mr. O'Connell was held in Banbridge on the 16th instant. James Fivey Esq., of Woodbank, presided. The Newry Examiner, which contains a lengthened report of the proceedings, says, " The meeting was attended by at least three thousand steady Ulstermen, of whom a very large proportion were Protestants and Presbyterians. All passed off in peace and harmony— no riot—no outrage—no individual quarrel occurred to mar the glory of the day. This is the very town through which, a few years since, - O'Connell, on his memorable visit to Bel fast, was obliged to travel in disguise." MOST APPALLING MURDERS. At an early hour on Friday morning a man, named Peter Larkin, a pensioner from the 87th Foot, who resides at Shanaglish, Haar Gort, murdered his two sons, one fifteen, and the other thirteen years of age, by cutting the belly of one, and the throat of the other, with a razor, as the inno cent and unsuspecting youths lay in bed, under the same roof with their father. He then went to the bed where his daughter. Mary Larkin, a grown young woman, was asleep, and had nearly succeeded in cutting her breast off with the same deadly weapon, before she felt 'conscious of the awful truth—but at once rising, with a desperate effort, she strug gled in the hands of her father and disarmed him, but not until she had got a severe cut in the wrist and finger of her left hand, when she fell exhausted from loss of blood. The • infuriate man next thought to kill his distracted wife, but she escaped from him after a wound in the hand, and the . reckless miscreant was then secured. Ile was arrested in an hour after by constable S. Murray, from Gort, who also found • the fatal razor with which he had immolated two sons, and had nearly succeeded in butchering his whole family.--, Limerick Ch 7 ankle. ANOTHER SUPERSt:DEAS.—The Limerick Chronicle, of yes terday, says—" A supersedeas is prepared by the Lord Chan cellor's Secretary, for Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, M.P. fie. Kerry, dispensing with his services in the commission of the peace for that county." 'SUMMARY OF NEWS ~ z?r 43Ubitt rung may read.' PC.ANC.SafkIZ. On Saturday the King and Queen of the French, accom panied by several officers, left Neuilly tbr St. Cloud, and re turned in the evening to dinner. The funeral of M. Geoifry St. Hilaire took place on Sun day. The chief mourners were his son, the Baron Charles Dapin, and MM. Ferran, Dumas, and Chevrenil, as represen tatives of the Instit u t e , the Academy of Sciences, the Aca demy of Medicine, and the Museum. The weather had become very warm at Paris. On Sun day the thermometer, at two o'clock, had reached 86 degrees of Fahrenheit. Letters from Rio Janeiro, of the 29th of April, state that the marriage of the Count d'Aquila. brother of the King of Naples, with the Princess Januaria, sister to the Emperor of Brazil, took place on the previous day. the Count had ar-, rived on the 17th. A Barcelona paper says that the Count de Trepani, the brother of the King of Naples, is expected at Barcelona, and that it is believed the marriage question is at length decided in his favour. The Queen's health seems to be in a very un satisfactory state, and her illness is of a nature which gives no hope of amendment. A serious riot took place at Ingolstadt, Bavaria, on the 17th. The labourers in great numbers attacked the brewers, bakers, buchers, and it was with great difficulty the riot was put dow'i. The Augsburg Gazette says, that from four to live thousand persons were engaged in it. The cause of the dia. order was the arrest of a workman by an agent of police. The workman resisted, and the police agent killed him with his sword. This exasperated the people, and they imme diately attacked the breweries. The Augsburg Gazette gives the following letter from Con stantinople :—"Constantinople, June s.—The Sultan has been received with t iithusiasm throughout his journey. Oa the 3d he entered the Dardanelles. The Albanians who are in a state of revolt appear to be sending in their submissions to the legitimate authorities everywhere." The Zurich Gazette states that the Great Council has given instructions to its deputies in the Diet, by which they are to demand the exclusion of the deputation of the Valais from the Diet, until constitutional order shall have been re stored in that canton. LAW AND POTZCE. In the Court of Queen's Bench, the Baron de Bode's case which has been so long litigated, was decided by th e j ury returning a verdi c t f or the Baron's claim on the Government to the amount of 364,2664 with interest. Richard Leeds and Robert Finch, seamen belonging to the Commercial Packet from Rotterdam, were charged, at the Guildhall, with unlawf u lly importing tobacco in a package of less than 3001b5., whereby the vessel had become liable to forfeiture. ,The full penalty of 1001. was inflicted in each case. John, Donnacliffe, a smith, was charged, at Queen-square, with feloniously assaulting and wounding Sarah Powel, a widow with two children, to whom he was paying his ad dresses. Drunkenness and jealousy appeared to be the causes of the act. The woman was dangerously wounded by a knife, and the medical man who was sent for refused to come, re tumingthe rather curious answer, that " he had nothing to do with stabs." The prisoner was remanded. William Saunderson, a waggoner to a coal merchant in, Wapping, was charged, at Lambeth -street, with seriously in juring Thomas Carron, a dock labourer, who at present re mains in the London Hospital in a very dangerous state.

We have gathered from the rehearsal of Monday the principal points of the outline of the new . ballet, which may serve to convey a general notion to our readers, and to serve as a guide to the spectators. Such sketches are always im perfect, and of all subjects the mythological are the most insipid in description. But the grouping, the scenery, and the dancing in this ballet are in the highest degree effective. To their merits must be added the music, which is full of admirable melodies, alternately plaintive and sprightly-, and throughout perfectly descriptive and characteristic. The music is by Pugni, the plot and action by Perrot. There is one circumstance in Perrot's conduct, during the rehearsals, which contributes to explain the surpassing success of all his ballets. As long as any member of his troupe is imperfect in his part, he accompanies each step by an extempore dialogue of his own invention, explaining the feeling the performer is to express. Perrot bas likewise introduced an other feature in ballets —every portion of the action is daneed, which avoids the tedious gesticulations and mimickry between the pas, which the public had formerly to endure, and avoids those sudden transitions which mar the illusion. Our present ballet master is of opinion that this portion of a ballet should bear the same relation to the grand feats of dancing, which the recitatifs do to the bravura., in an opera. The title of the ballet is Zelia, ou la Nymplie de Diane; divided into four tableaux. The principal dramatis persona are Diane, Copere ; L'Amour, Plunkett; Zelia, Cerito ; Amyntas, St. Leon ; Faune, Perrot. In 'the first tableau, you see on one side a temple and a statue of Diana; on the other, a bower of flowers, which conceal a statue of Love, and which is the hiding-place of L'Amour himself. In the first scene, Love is seen reclining and asleep. He awakes at . the sound of the ho rn s, which announce the approach of Diana and her nymphs. The thought of his chaste enemy excites his anger; and he swears to be revenged for the con tempt of her votaries by seducing one, of her nymphs from her allegiance. As he retires Diana and her nymphs arrive ; she teaches the fair sportswomen the use of the bow; they fire their shafts at a target. Here the attitudes, the graceful evolutions, and the dexterity of the Amazons are sure to create a most agreeable surprise. Zelia, Diana's favourite nymph, wins the prize, which is a rose. After this, Diana, on the point of leaving her temple for the forests, commits the guardianship of the time to Zelia. Diana gone—Zelia amuses herself in collecting flowers to make a crown, which she deposits at the feet of the goddess's statue. This she does whilst she dances, and here occurs the pas de la cou ronne. At this moment Amyntas, a shepherd, in love with Zelia, arrives endeavours to steal the crown, and convey it to the statue of Love, which has ap peared on the opposite side of the stage. This struggle produces another graceful step. Zelia resists all. Amyntas's declarations, and flies away to avoid him. He, in despair, attempts to kill himself, but Love arrives, consoles him, and promises him success. The second tableau represents a moonlight scene—a circular temple of Diana, with the sacred fire burning on an altar in the centre; while the statue of Minerva and other allegorical figures are seen grouped in di vers attitudes at the .sides; Diana and her nymphs appear, and the goddess confides the maintenance of the vestal fire burning on the altar to Zelia. As soon as the severe goddess has disappeared, Love shows himself. By his touch he ani• mates the marble effigies, who bend. towards Zelia, and by their gestures first, and next by their menaces, invite her to join in the adoration of Cupid. At the moment that Zelia, by dint. of persuasion, consents, Diana returns, and her truant votary runs away. The third tableau represents a forest where 'Lelia has fallen asleep from the fatigue of her flight. In her uneasy dreams she remembers her disobedience to Diana. Whilst she shimbers, a fawn appears, and steals a rose which she holds in her hand, and which Diana gave her as a talisman, and the reward of her dexterity. She awakes tries to regain h er fl ower, an d h ere takes place the pas de la' rose, the struggle itself being intended to typify the contest between wisdom and passion. The rose is lost—Love L'Amour forstalls the arrival of Diana, and Zelia is car ried away on the gossamer wings of little Cupids to the realms of love. The fourth tableau represents a spot con secrated to Venus, whose statue occupies the most prominent spot. The centre of the gay and embroidered scene repre sents a sheet of water, filled by rushin g casca d es. Z e li a, wafted he re , i s tempted by the coolness of the, stream, and bathes. Whilst bathing, a butterfly, careering in the air, attracts her notice—she rushes out of the bath—pursues it in a pas, called the "Pas de Papillon"—at last she catches the butterfly, which she presses to her heart. It makes he! heart beat violently—she throws it off, but it is too late—slit has caught the contagion of love; for the butterfly was the arch-god disguised. Cupid comes to enjoy his triumph, bringing with him Amyntas, who now experiences but little resistance to his suit. The triumph of love is celebrated by the most fascinating dances, too numerous and varied to be described in our allotted space. It is impossible to convey any idea orthe beauty of the coup Bail, particularly in the scene of the Temple, where the statues are animated be- Love, and in that of Venus's Bowers, where Zelia battles in the stream. As to the ruling idea of the ballet, it is intended, from beginning to end, only as an illustration of the well known lines of Voltaire, inscribed under a statue of Cupid— " Qui, que Cu soi, roici ton maitre, Il est, le fit, ou le doit etre."
