(From the Paris Messager of Monday.) " TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. " BAYONNE, AUG. 26, HALF-PAST Two o'cLocx. " MOGADORE, AUG. 17. " THE PRINCE DE JOINTILLE TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE. " On the 15th we attacked Mogadore. " After having destroyed (ecrase) the town and its batteries, we took possession of the island and of the port. " Sixty-sight men, including seven officers, were killed or wounded. Imm busied in establishing the garrison of the island. I have placed the port in a state of blockade. " Attested copy, " Baron DE MACKAU, Vice-Admiral, Peer of France, Minister of Marine and Colonies." The news of this victory following so quickly after that gained by Marshal BUGEAVD, has naturally caused great joy among the war party in Paris, who now dream only of conquests. It has had a different effect, however, on the moneyed interest, and caused a fall of about 15 centimes. On Monday the Three per Cents., at the close of the Bourse, were quoted at 80f. 70c., but after the telegraphic dispatch became known they fell to 80f. 5.5 c. This is no great fall however, and it is not at all improbable that the spe culators have hopes that the two events will have a favourable effect, and bring affairs to a settle ment. The Emperor of MOROCCO must see that his troops have no chance against the skill, discipline, and bravery of European soldiers, and as the French fleet has established itself at Moga dore, only 130 miles from his capital he will, probably, find it more convenient t o yield to the d?.mands of the French. It is a most unfortunate circumstance that he has allowed the contest to proceed so far, taking it for granted that the terms proposed were at all reasonable. Of this, however, we cannot speak with any certainty, for the French have kept the negotiations and the con ditions demanded so secret, that it is impossible to come to any conclusion as to the real merits of the dispute. One thing is certain, these victories cannot fail to excite a strong warlike feeling in France, and render any equitable settlement a matter of great difficulty. The following wasas received at LIAYD'S yesterday morning : " GIBRALTAR, AVG. 18, 1844. "Six,—l have the honour to acquaint you that her MAsEsTy's steamer Heela arrived this morning from Mogadure, bringing about thirty-five passengers from the west coast of Morocco, for which purpose she was dispatched, as reported in my communication of the Bth instant. She brings news of the bombardineut of Mogadore, on the 15th instant, by the French squadron. The land forces were about disembarking to take possession of the smal island near to it, when the llecla left. Mr. Wthx.sniaz, our Consul, and some other British subjects, were not allowed to em bark, owing to some local regulations relative to Custom-house engagements. Admiral Sir B. Own N has dispatched the Vesuvius to Mogadore, where her MAJESTY'S ship Warspite was lying for the protection of British interests. "At Tangiers everything was quiet, and order prevailed. The markets were re-opened and trade resuming. The defences were about to be repaired. The savage tribes in the neighbourhood had dis persed. (Signed) "J. L. COWELL. " To W. DODSON, Esq., Secretary, LLOYD'S. " P.S. The Moors are reported to have fought with great bravery, and that they opened fire from the batteries, when they found the three line-of-battle ships were about to take up positions at two o'clock, P.M., on 15th inst. The cannonade lasted till near sunset, when the steamers towed off the large ships to the regular anchorage ground. At night there was firing between the contending parties till ten o'clock, when the Hecla departed, and till eleven o'clock at a distance firing was still heard. This firing was be tween the shore and the steamers with small French sailing vessels of war. The French had not attacked any other part on the west coast." The Prince of PRUSSIA, we perceive, has been highly gratified by his visit to Liverpool. It was almost impossible that a personage of so intelligent and cultivated a mind should be otherwise than de lighted by the majestic public works, and the match less commercial marine—their noblest ornament — which on all sides meet the eye in that great em porium of our foreign trade. Having gone every where, and carefully inspected everything (so far as his limited "means "—of time—would allow him) which he could get at, en route, between London and Liverpool, he examined the unrivalled docks the next morning after his arrival in the latter town. llis Royal Highness seems to have fully participated in the astonishment experienced by all foreigners at the imposing spectacle of an unbroken line of between seven and nine miles of docks—not simply crowded, but swarming, with shipping, which have brought from the remotest shores upon the surface of our globe the products of other climates, the wealth of another hemisphere. Impressed with the remarkable character of this spectacle, in the details which had come more immediately under his observation, the Prince embarked in a Government steamer (aptly named the Britannia) to obtain a general view of the town, the shipping, and the banks of the Mersey. We are told that " the river and docks were crowded with vessels, which, in honour of his Royal High ness, displayed from their mast-heads flags of all nations, the Prussian standard predominating." The Prince, on disembarking again, was greeted with the same enthusiastic welcome on shore, which had just hailed him on the water; and found the Town-hail and the Exchange to be edifices laid out on a scale of grandeur commensurate with the vast extent of that trade, the marvels of whose activity and extent he had just been contemplating. For his further pro gress, and his reception by Sir ROBERT PEEL at Drayton Manor, we may refer the reader to the par ticulars we have given in another column : but apropbs to the well digested route through so many of the most interesting districts in England which his Royal Highness has hitherto taken ; the selection of the objects to be more particularly examined in its course; the rapidity of his movements; and his careful economy of time—we cannot forbear from remarking that the Prince of Paussia worthily emulates the example of the numerous Royal and Im perlal visitors who have lately, from so many parts of Europe, paid their respects to her Majesty the QUEEN, and been introduced to some of the most notable portions of her MAJESTY'S dominions. Let us censure as we will the too frequent apathy of Sovereigns, and the profound ignorance in which, till the close of the last century, the scions of Royal Houses were too generally brought up—it must be allowed, to the credit of most of the Illustrious Princes and Royal personages who have lately re paired to this country in such numbers, for the grati fication of a laudable, and perhaps we might add, a respectful curiosity, that, whilst their intellectual abili ties and attainments have been at least equal to the average of those possessed by the individuals com posing the distinguished circles which have received them here, their physical energies, endurance of fatigue, and bodily activity, appear to have been greatly superior to those of their most Illustrious hosts. national independence of that foe at his mercy. But it is lost time, we fear, to reason -with that unprincipled and extensive party which is doing its utmost to pre cipitate France into acts of insult and aggrt-scion which can only terminate in her own chastisement. It is not a fidgetty young Admiral's bootless bombard ment of the ruined walls of one African fortress, or his still more questionable "destruction" of another, accomplished, we have reason to believe, in a manner not the leaM " lubberly" (as the sailors would say), on the records of naval expeditions—which is to justify us in assuming that a whole nation, at his back, can be so weak, or so absurd, or so flagitious, as to dally with his passion for anti-Anglo notoriety, by involving the peace of Europe in a war between France and England. But we really see so much childish excitability on these matters about some of the French journals, professedly of very extensive circulation and influence, that we may not reason on the improbability—still less the impossibility—of a rupture, because of either its wanton recklessness or its infinite folly. In this feeling we would beg to direct the attention of our own Go vernment, and their official authorities, to the strong representations which some of our letters from the outports make as to the utterly defenceless con dition in which Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Sheer ness will be left, if, on the withdrawal of the present guard-ships, whether by putting them in active com mission or otherwise, they be not immediately re placed by powerful line-of-battle ships. There is a crisis at which every dictate of common prudence and sound policy suggests that the mast ample and effi cient provision for the protection of our shores, espe cially at these points, against any hostile surprise, should be made. Men of all parties will vindicate and confirm any indispensable expense such provision may entail. Good faith, as a natural security, in dealing with some of the spirits arrayed againstßritish great ness, is less to be depended on than ropes of sand or roofs of brown paper. Besides, though the mischief which may be committed, may be very little in amount, there is no reason why we should not be spared the expense, through merely assuming that attitude of preparation we ought never to abandon till something more of fair dealing, of common honesty, and of moral—not wordy and conventional—honour, shall sway the councils of France and its public mind, if that is to be collected from its journals. Let us be thus prepared, and we may safely predict no such at tempts will be made by our blustering neighbours, even if the whole French press teemed with such in conceivable rhodomontade and schoolboy little com mon-places, to foreshadow the downfal of England —derived from a course of precedents gravely commenced with " SoLomos and SESOSTRIS," and continued to "Louis XIV. and NAPOLEON," such as we have just been laughing over in the columns of the Gazette de France. The article would read like a squib from our facetious friend Punch, if it had only the ingredients of a good purpose, and a clever, spirited execution. In a word, the Parisians, at any rate, are fairly earning the application of TALLEY-. RAND'S caustic reflection of their own infatuated BOURBONS—" They have learned nothing, and they have forgotten nothing." For her own welfare and honour, and her rank among the nations, France must both forget her past reverses (they were of her own seeking), and learn to avoid them in future (she is now challenging them). That popular Irish journal, the Nation, which is one of the ablest, as it is the most vehement advocate of Repeal, thus alludes to the reported visit of the QUEEN to Ireland, in the course of the approaching autumn :—" Her MAJESTY is coming to this country —coming to liberate the State prisoners, and allay the waves of agitation with the approved specific Gf oily words. So says the Evening Mail. Let her come; she will learn with her own eyes, which are full of woman's keenness, how basely her Ministers deceived her, and how much more ignorant and in capable are the servants in her Cabinet, than in her kitchen and her stable. We do not seek a Royal visit, and we do not repel it. It can not depress the hopes and the labours of the people (what can or shall ?) and it cannot crown them with triumph. As for the State prisoners, it is the QUEEN'S undoubted prerogative to send them back to their labours for Ireland. If she ( . .oes, they are ready to march from Richmond prison to Burgh Quay, and fall into their accustomed places, like rested men bound to do double work. From them, as from every true man in Ireland, she will learn that it is no boon to terminate an injustice ; and if it were, that all the favours it is England's- to bestow or refuse, would not turn the Irish people from their solemn purpose." The cold, un gracious, ar.d —we may even add churlish spirit that pervades the above paragraph will be confined, we trust, to a very small portion of the Irish people; the majority will regard her MAJESTY'S visit with far different feelings, and regard it as an indication of her kindly disposition towards the sister country, and of her determination to judge for her self of the state of things there. Thus thinking, all true•hearted, loyal Irishmen will no doubt welcome their young SOVEREIGN with enthusiasm, for it can not be but that her visit will be followed by the most auspicious results to the interests of Ireland. She will not come like GEORGE the FOURTH, merely to gratify a puerile love of pomp and ceremony, but to convince her Irish subjects that she has their welfare deeply at heart, and is not the less solicitous to pro mote that welfare, because—in common with every reflecting and dispassionate individual in the three kingdoms—she discountenances the wild, impractica ble project of Repeal, which—if by any remote possibi lity it could be carried—would, as a necessary conse quence, be attended with the most ruinous conse quences to the empire, and especially to Ireland, which would be the chief sufferer. If the great object of the Repealers be the promotion of the interests of the sister country, surely they must know and feel that those interests will be materially advanced by the presence of their QUEEN among them; for the very first effect the Royal visit will have, will be to soften the bitterness of party spirit, and also to impress upon Ministers—who, as a mat ter of course will adopt the tone of their august Mis tress—the expediency of pursuing a more just and conciliatory policy towards Ireland than they have hitherto thought fit, to pursue. The Repealers, there fore—if their object be as patriotic as they profess it to be—should be among the foremost to welcome the arrival of the QUEEN among them with enthusiasm, even though it should have the effect, which we con fidently trust it will have, of weakening the clamour for repeal, and rendering it a more impracticable pro ject than ever. But we advert to the Prince of PRUSSIA'S visit to Liverpool for the purpose of congratulating his Royal Highness that he has thus been enabled to compre hend, at his leisure, one of the broadest and most en during bases on which is raised the stupendous struc ture of English greatness. To have recalled to the Prince's memory the military prowess and renown of England would have been a work of supererogation in deed. The triumphs of Prussia and England in al liance could not be forgotten by the immediate de scendant of FREDERICK WILLIAM—of the Sovereign of BLUCHER and the friend of WELLINGTON—were there no more recent voices to proclaim it in thunder from the mountainous recesses of Central Asia, or the shores of Syria or of China—prolonging the echoes of its mighty victories on the plains of II indostan, or its yet more signal successes in the heart of France, on the fertile soil of Belgium, in the wide territories of Spain, amidst the fastnesses of Portugal, or the plains of Italy. To have detained the Prince by the preparation and parade of military reviews would have been to regale him with anything but novelty ; and the precision of tactics achieved by the soldiery of his own country, had left little to be surpassed, perhaps equalled, among that of our own. To the presumptive heir, hevvever, of a Continental Monarchy, essentially and inevitably a military State, in the strictest sense of the term, such an exhibition as he has witnessed at Liverpool of the resources of peace, accumulated in a single outport of that kingdom which has established itself in the foremost rank of nations as pre-eminent in naval and military strength and success, must have been a noble and an instruc tive spectacle. From that boundless commerce which visits every habitable region of the globe, and in its dealings with all the families of the human race that are adjacent to any ocean shore, at once supplies the wants, and civilises the manners, and ameliorates the existence of the most miserable denizens of unre claimed barbarism, England derives the opulence that has enriched without corrupting her, and main tains the spirit of that never-ceasing energy, and re news the energies of that never-relaxing industry, which render innoxious and immeasurably beneficial to her the wealth, the luxury, the grandeur, which to natives of more voluptuous or less healthful tem peraments have been speedily and signally destruc tive. This physical activity reacts upon the moral character of her social system and its institutions. These do not stagnate, or retrograde, as in less for tunate countries, but are impressed with the same tendencies to a salutary and sustained on ward move ment—not, to wild and destructive impulses, the course of which no man can calculate. Capital, and the proneness to accumulate it, have done much of their evil work among us, as they have done among other nations ; but they have also produced more good, more happiness, more stability for institutions and laws, than they can be shown to have accom plished in any other case recorded in history. The same causes, that in their operation have raised us to our present greatness, in their per manency will advance us yet further and further on the march of national prosperity. The same effects which, so wonderfully developed in our fortunes and position, are at this moment inciting so large a mass of the French people to the most extravagant and pitiable indications of jealousy and envy and resent ment, will continue to accumulate, in peace, our re sources for the demands of war, Be that disastrous casualty (we pray) far distant ; but come when it may, those foolish and incendiary spirits who find it so easy a task to sound the tocsin in Paris for a general outbreak into hostilities with Britain, will find that they have invoked a slumbering giant, who may not be disposed, on the occasion of a wanton and reckless experiment on his repose and his dignity, to repeat the ill-remembered, and worse requited, forbearance and generosity which he manifested for a beaten, though valiant foe, when twice within one twelve mouth the event of war had placed tne capital and the The Greek Obserrer of the 10th of August pub lishes a decree proclaiming a political amnesty in the following terms : " Otho, by the Grace of God King of Grt•ece,—Upon the proposition of our Council of Ministers we have de cided and do ordain— " Art. 1. We grant an amnesty to those who have taken a part in the insurrectionary movement which took place in Acarnania and in Western Greece during the months of May and June last. "2. Theodore G rivas, Protopapa, Demetrius, Tar casica, Nicolas I. Sonic., Costulla, Chasapi, Constant Colocytha, Sp. Macristate, and Costa Capo Georgachi are excepted from the benefit of this decree. "3. We reserve, should it become necessary, the exercise or our Royal clemency to the persons excepted after their judgment. " A Viens, July 31, 1844. " OTHO. (Countersigned) " MAVROCORDATO, A. LONDOS, C. LONDOS, " RODIUS, TRICOUPI." Madrid journals, of the 20th inst. have been received. The QUEEN had arrived at Aranjuez on that day, where she would stop for the night, and make her way into the capital next day. General NARVAEZ, accompanied by the French Ambassador, had also arrived, and his presence, it is said, prevented a pronunciamento which was to have taken place on the day of his arrival. On the 18th, the holders of titles of the Floating Debt and of Treasury Bills met at the San Fernando Bank, to agree with that establishment as to the conversion of their securities. According to the Tiempo, they were disposed to submit to a conversion into Three per Cents., provided the pay ment of the interest be guaranteed to them. The same journal, in reference to the deplorable financial state of the country, says— " The Committee appointed to propose a new system of taxation, in order to meet the demands of the State, has published its report, which declares that, in order to meet with punctuality and exactitude all the obliga tions of the State, the sum of 400,000,000 of reals is indispensably necessary ; and that this deficit cannot be met but by making great reductions in She expendiiure, THE STTN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 29, 1844. Fim-1 particularly in the army expenses, and thus diminishing the debt." The Herald() thus announces the object of Mr. BULWER'S journey to Morocco : " The Government not being satisfied with the repara tion given to Spain by the Emperor of Morocco, who avoids replying to several of our demands, the Minister of Great Baitain at Madrid has proceeded directly to Morocco, in order to put a period to those differences, and effect a satisfactory solution of our quarrel with that empire. The journey of Mr. Bulwer is also connected with the differences existing between Prance and our African neighbours." The Three per Cents. were done at 27i for cash, and 27i at sixty days; the Five per Cents. at 19i for cash, and 20 at sixty days; and the Floating Debt at 59 for cash, and 601 at sixty days. The French papers, brought by the ordinary ex press, contain little intelligence of importance. The Commerce and Constitutionnel, some days since, stated that the KING had abandoned the intention of visiting England this season. The Globe contra dicts the report, and says, " not the slightest change has taken place in the intentions relative to the KING'S visit; as, however, it was never meant to take place before the beginning of October, it is easy to conceive that the preparations are not very active at this moment." The same Ministerial journal contra dicts another statement made by the Revue de Paris, about a proposition of M. GUIZOT to the British Ca binet, relative to Otaheite, and adds, " Otaheite is now under the regime of the Protectorate, which opens its ports to the vessell of all nations, and of course the commerce of England and France will be on a footing of equality, for they are so at this moment. As to Mr. PRITCHA.RD, the Revue de Paris forgets that it was decided nearly six months ago that he should not remain at Otatheite in the quality of Consul." DEATH of LORD KEINE, G.C.B. and K.C.H. We are sorry to announce the death of this distin guished officer, the gallant captor of Ghuznee. His Lordship died of dropsy on the 26th. He was a Lieutenant-General in the army, and Colonel of the 43d Foot. It will be remembered that he was created first Baron Keane, of the United Kingdom, as a reward for distinguished military services in Affghanistan, and especially at the storming of the formidable fortress of Ghuznee. He was the second son of the first Sir John Keane, Bart., by his first wife. He became a Major-General in 1814 ; a Lieutenant- General in 1830. In addition to the military honours conferred upon him, as above mentioned, he received the distinction (See Dodd's "Peerage and Baronetage") of a cross and two clasps forhis services as Lieutenant- Colonel of the 13th Foot at Martinique, and as Colonel in command of a brigade at Vittoria, Pyrenees, Ni velle, Orthes, and Toulouse. His Lordship is suc ceeded, we believe, in his title, by the Hon. Richard Arthur Wellington Keane, now (second) Lord Keane who was aide-de-camp to the late Lord when he was in command of the army of the Indus. Most of the journals contain articles on the battle of Isly, and throw the whole blame on the Moors. The Journal des Debats thus adverts to the brilliant victory gained by the French:— " This battle of Isly, as the Marshal has named it, ap pears to have been a serious affair, and more important than any in which our troops have been hitherto engaged in Africa. The results of it ate remarkable ;an army of 20,000 cavalry beaten and completely routed ; the cap ture of several camps, covering over a league in extent ; 11 pieces of-cannon, 16 standards, and the tent of the Morocco Prince, fallen into our hands, are the material and tangible proofs of an incontestible victory, and of a serious engagement. " The enemy had surrounded our little corps d'armee on every side, and it was necessary to cut a way through the masses of cavalry ; it was necessary to conquer on every side. and the words sensible losses,' contained in the dispatches prove that the victory was for some time disputed with vigour by an enemy admitted to be very ardent and very intrepid. " War has, therefore, been opened in the most per fidious manner by the Morocco Government, even at the very moment when the Sultan, his sons, and his Kaids were professing the most peaceful intentions. If this Government had had the slightest good faith Abd-el- Kader, with his 1,200 horsemen, would not now be the arbiter of destiny on the frontier, for this handful of men, lost in the masses which the Morocco commanders have under their orders, would have been easily dis armed. But, on the contrary, these princes and dig nitaries seem to have come only as the auxiliaries of our enemy, and as if to prove that they were as much so as he is. All were thus deceived, but we must no longer be so deluded. Abderrahman is as much ruled by his own fanaticism as a Mussulman, as by that of his sub jects, and it is evident that the degree of wisdom which has been attributed to him is not sufficient to enable him to resist this double excitement. Abd-el-Kader is the champion of our religious and political faith, and we can never admit these Christian dogs to be in the right.' Such, in fact, is the manner in which through out Islam the rights of nations are interpreted so far as they concern Christian Europe." The Courrier Francais, elated by the success of both the land and sea forces, urges the Government to follow up the success, and not trust to the " per fidious mediation" of England : "It is but little to conquer ; the point is, to profit by the victory. Shall our land army possess more liberty of action than our squadron ? The Prince de Joinville is free to mark his promenade along the coasts of Mo rocco by a succession of cannonades and ruins, but he is forbidden to set his foot on land. Marshal Bugeaud is quite at liberty to make an advance on the enemy, which swells its numbers, and to spare it the half of the way, but he is prohlited, without doubt, from penetrating too far into the hostile territory. No matter, our brave army of Africa, directed by excellent officers, and by the skilful Marshal, has just given a rude lesson to the Sultan of Morocco, whilst the cannons of our ships of war sweep the,. shores of his empire.. Each defeat will deaden the fanaticism of his subjects—obstinately bent as they are on the holy war —•and the more the Sultan is physicafly beaten, the more he is morally the conqueror of Abd-el-].fader. By dint of ill-treating him we give him the power of negotiating. This kind of diplomacy is more efficient than the perfidious mediation of Eng land, who, under pretext of inducing him to adopt a pacific disposition, has perhaps encouraged his audacity and strengthened his irresolution. Here we have Morocco at last attacked by our arms ! Whatever the jealousy of England the pusillanimity of our diplomacy may do, the glory will remain to us of having given the first blow to this last sanctuary of Mussulman barbarism, and to have prepared a new progress in civilisation. That sword of France which shone in Egypt, and brought Algeria u nder su bjection, will not have struck w ith impunity —to it w ill b e ascr ib e d the forced North ern Af r i ca , f rom east to h A o lo n r o oc ur co of having west, to enter into treaties with Europe." The remarks of the Constitutionnel are of a more mild character, but still the writer cannot conceal his jealousy of England : " The news of this brilliant action of Marshal Bugeaud and our troops arrives opportunely. It serves as an answer to the declarations and threats of the English press. As to. Morocco, we strongly desire, without how ever, that this victory may produce reu a sc n shi d o abandon Abd-el-Kader, who n of terror, and that the tribe may r there b h ae o only brings them defeat. Umfortunately, the Marshal does not appear to be in a condition to reap any advan tage from the blow which he has just struck—to assume psainlug discouraged, tairtyti m°m the offensive vigorously, and to pursue to the last extre mity the Emir, against whom we have hitherto only hurled an ultimatum. If it be necessary to again tem porise, the Arabs will recover from their fright. Perhaps they will not attack us for the future in a pitched battle, but will wage a war of razzias, will ruin our allies, and occupy the attention of our troops, by dividing them. Meanwhile, this new success of our brave army of Africa will cause in France a universal satisfaction. Public curicsity is greatly excited, and, without doubt, the re port of Marshal Bugeaud will soon be published as fully as possible, to gratify it." THE BOURSE--MONDAY, AUGUST 26.

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. There was a flatness in Consols at the close of the Market this afternoon, the quotations being 98i to 4. The heavy investments were also drooping, the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. being 101, and the Re duced 102. The Foreign investments, on the contrary, have ra ther improved this afternoon.

There have been several letters received from Alexan dria this morning, in which contradictory statements are made in relation to the posture of political affairs in that country. One thing is at least certain, the Pacha has successfully checked a movement, which, at his de cease, would have rendered the succession doubtful, and perhaps have caused much bloodshed. There are not any colonial arrivals of moment to-day. In the Stock Exchanges there has been no great deal of animation this morning, in consequence of the news received by express of the bombardment of Mogadore by the French fleet, and of the occupation by them, of the island. The Bears were early in full feather, and sold at first with vigour, but they could only depress the prices of Consols about per cent. Their courage soon cooled, and many closed their bargains at the profit that was within their grasp. A rally soon took place in consequence to 994 y. The Commissioners bought 5,0001. Reduced Three per. Cents. at 998. The premium upon Exchequer Bills has advanced to 77. Bank Stock is firm at 1991, and India Stock heavy at 281.

They will go on board the Royal Yacht about the 9th inst., and during their progress visit Blair, Athol, Dunkeld, and Taymouth. Prince Albert's taste for field sports, and the shooting which Scotland's mountains afford, with the vivid remembrance of last year's pleasurable excursion, have been the great inducements to this royal trip. ller Alajesty will be absent about three weeks, and will on her return go to the Isle of Wight. If this be the fact, and that it is the present intention of Royalty, we have not the slightest doubt the visit of Louis Philippe cannot take place until October, if then ; nor can the Queen set foot in Ireland this summer. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. —The number of deaths during the last week was not above the average, though the deaths caused by certain diseases still exceed those of the last five years. The increase is chiefly in small-pox, scarlatina, and typhus. In the list oi• deaths from corriu:nption there is a consider able decrease, the average being 146, while last week it was only 116. The number of deaths by small-pox is stated to be 47, being 36 above the average, but we have no return of the numbers that were vaccinated, and the mortality table for the last week, and also the preceding week, is very defe ctive in reference to the most terrible disease that ever afflicted the human race. The deaths from viol ence are thus stated : Fracture or contusion, 8 ca ses, of which 6 were b y falls ; drowningos cases ; p oison, 1 case ; han g in g , 3 ' cases ; suffocation, 2 cases • arid burns, 1 case.

Count Louis de Noailles, Secretary to the Em bassy, is on leave of absence on the Continent.

A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette, states that the publication of the " Juif Errant " has caused several journals, in which it had been given, to be seized. The Austrian police, to clear Vienna of the crowd of vagabonds and thieves which infested it, has just arrested 400 of them together, and has had them taken off at once to the galleys at Venice and Trieste. We learn, by a Berlin letter of the lath instant, that the Deputies of the States of the circle of Nimptick, in which is Klein Kreignitz, the native place of Tesch, who attempted to assassinate the King of Prussia, have or dered the parsonage house of the town in which Tesch was born, his father being minister, to be demolished and rebuilt.

LAW AND POLICE. The business of the present session at the Central Criminal Court concluded on Tuesday. The Judges in the Old Court were occupied the greater part of the day in trying cases of felonious assault, the details of which aro unfit for publication. In the New Court judgment was respited upon Henry Burton, convicted of man slaughter, and also upon W. A. Postlethwaite, who pleaded to a charge of felonious assault. Henry Stephenson, who pleaded guilty to a charge of throwing a stone on the South-Western Railway, was discharged on entering into recognizances ; but the Common Sergeant remarked that the offence was a most serious one. inasmuch as the lives of thousands of the subjects of the Crown were put in jeopardy by it, and it must be distinctly understood that the utmost penalty of the law would be enforced against all persons found so offending in future. J. Lovell, J. Bull, G. Williams, and G. Phillips, four labouring men, indicted for stealing three sacks, four bushels of oats, and three ditto of beans, value 305., the property of J. Stanly, were convicted, and sentenced by Mr. Commissioner Bullock to six months' hard labour. Frederick Thomas Scott, a respectable tradesman, was indicted for feloniously running against Samuel John Read, on the 15th of July last, and causing divers mortal ruptures and fractures, whereof he lingered till the following day, when he died. This is the case of the man who was run over in the Blackfriars-road, and killed—it was said through the culpable negligence of the prisoner. The evidence, however, was contra dictory, many persons who witnessed the occurrence declaring it originated entirely in the stupidity of the deceased, and exonerating the prisoner from all blame. The jury acquitted him. Mr. Clarkson, the prisoner's counsel, stated that the prisoner had been very kind to deceased's widow, and would continue to be so. John Bridgen, convicted of feloniously killing and slaying Ann Jones, at Stepney, on the 9th of July last, by forcibly and furiously knocking down and driving over her in a cart, thereby inflicting divers mortal bruises and contusions whereby she then and there died, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. A letter from Mr. Sheriff, owner of the ship John Campbell, was read at the Mansion-house, denying the statements made by Laidlow, on Saturday, as to the conduct of the captain of that ship, and accusing Laid low of mutiny. The ship has not yet arrived. At Guildhall, on Tuesday, William Francis Johnson, a jobbing master butcher, was brought before Mr. Alder man Brown, charged with obtaining, by false pretences, from Mr. Hill, a salesman in Newgate-market, a cheque for 521. He was remanded. Francis Hallett was held to bail at Bow-street, on a charge of insulting Mrs. Elizabeth Buller in the street, and assaulting her husband and his friend, who endea voured to protect her. The prisoner called evidence to rebut the charge. A begging-letter impostor, named Ann Purchas, was committed from Clerken well for three months. At Queen-square, on Tuesday, James Roche, Thomas M`Cabe, and Thomas Burn, three powerful ruffianly looking fellows, were placed at the bar charged wish attemptiag to defraud and rob a number of respectable tradesmen at Chelsea and Pimlico. Their plan was to go into a shop and atk for change, to dispute the amount received, create a disturbance, and rob the premises. They were remanded until Friday. John Sprole, the butler of Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., was committed from Marleybone for robbing his master. At Worship-street, Maria Clifford was charged with endeavouring to induce two young girls to embrace a life of prostitution. The prisoner and the girls were all inmates of th© Institution for the Reform of Unhappy Females, and she had endeavoured to induce her com panions to leave the Institution, and had given them letters to a procures at the West-end. As there was no evidence of agency, the prisoner was discharged. Mr. Jeremy committed Martha Appleton, late house maid to James Brain, Esq., No. 7, Egerton -row, Black heath-road, for trial, on a charge of concealing the birth of her infant child, by dropping it in her master's water closet. COURT-PASIZIONARZNI. It is said that a very numerous circle have been ho noured with invitations to meet his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia upon his arrival at Windsor Castle on Saturday next. The Earl of Aberdeen and several other of the Cabinet Ministers, Count Nesselrode, his Ex cellency Baron Brunnow, &c., will be among the guests of her Majesty on the occasion. Lord %V narncliffe and party have sailed from Southamp ton in his Lordship's cutter yacht, the Romulus, on a cruise in the Channel, prior to his Lordship laying up his vessel for the season.

The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and Lady Au gusta Somerset left town yesterday fur Badmin ton, where the Prince of Prussia is expected to honour the Noble Duke with his company to-day. The Duke of Northumberland still remains confined to his room at Sion House by an attack of gout.
