TO-MORROW AND THURSDAY, Should the weather permit, TOM THUMB will traverse the Gardens in a Balloon, his Last Appearance in London. MODELS of VENICE and LONDON in the OLDEN TIME. Painted by Danson and Telbin. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production Is beyond all former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraerdinay beauty and fidelity of deltnea. rinn,ait 're unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa clone Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCER'I'S on Mon'ays, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays conoucted uy Mr. Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence; lad words fail In doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Art, rnat delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attraltive lounge in or near the rretro:iolis.

SECOND EDITION: ic itin ta tti .)Itit LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1844. In the House of Lords, the Criminal Justice (Middlesex) 13111 was read a third time, and passed. Lord WUARNCLIFFE moved a clause in the Rail ways Bill, the effect of which was to compel com panies having any trains running on Sunday, to run third-class trains likewise. After some conversation, or what Lord CAMPBELL called a " burly burly debate," the clause was un derstood to be agreed to. The Earl.of after adverting to the small naval force kept up by this country, and to the occur~:ences at Otaheite caused by the small ness o'c our fleets, moved for a return of her 'MAJESTY'S ships of war (other than those re :T r ued for harbour duty) in commission on the 31st of july, 1844 ; and also a return of her MAJESTY'S ships of war present at Otaheite from the Ist of Sep tember, 1842, to the latest period to which advices have been received, specifying the date of the arrival there and departure from thence of each ship. The Earl of HADDINGTON replied in general terms to the topics in Lord MINTO'S speech, for which we refer to the report. The motion was negatived without a division. The Common Law Courts (Ireland) Bill w as passed. Lord WILARNCLIFFB moved the committal of the Poor -law Amendment Bill, and gave their Lordships a summary of its principal clauses. After some dis cussion, the Bill was committed pro forma, and ordered to be recommitted this day. Their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter-past One. The Commons met at Twelve o'lcock, when after some routine business, Sir R. PEEL moved the second reading of the Roman Catholic Penal Acts Repeal Bill. He stated that the object of the Bill was to re p!al certain old statutes which were a disgrace to the country—adapted to other times, but calculated in these days to throw ridicule on the Established Church. The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committee'. The Charitable Donations and Bequests Bill for Ireland was read a third time and passed. The Ihsolveilt Debtors Bill went through Com mittee and the House adjourned. The House sat again at Five o'clock, when Mr. GLADSTONE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to apply to private Bills the same principles which had been applied to Railway Bills. The object of it was to re duce the costs of private Bills. The Bill stood for next session. On the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE leave was given to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to the relief and support in certain cases of merchant sea men, their widows, and children, and the House ad journed at a Quarter past Seven. 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 last evening 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 of looking such a contingency fully in the face, 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 DE JoiNvILLE's 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 DE 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 fur 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 HADDINGTON 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 from the Medi 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 that officer's act is feebly and jesuitically made by M. GUIZOT, the Chambers—Baron DUPIN, 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 :Jess 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 clue 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 Numedia, the Earl of HADDINGTON, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and even the Earl of ABEADurt, who impounds sealed THE qtiltri LONDON% Tr'ESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, Nitta coirespondence in our Post-office, and the findings of courts-martial on too vigilant and spiritel 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's 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 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 that " 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." Our friends across the Channel are making a ter rible " hubbub " about Queen POMARE, Missionary PRITCHARD, and Monsieur BROUAT. If we are to trust to appearances, to orations in the Chamber of Peers, and national songs at the Grand Opera, the whole of Europe—nay, the whole of the civilised world—is to be thrown into commotion about a paltry island, which, till Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS went there, was regarded as a useless speck in the ocean, that no nation would take under its protection. Small as the island and its dependencies are, we ad mit our Government committed a great error in sanctioning its occupation by the French; not that they were worth any thing, but because they were purely British settlements ; they had been discovered by COOKE ; they were occupied by English missionaries forty-five years ago ; the inhabitants were trained up in the tenets of the Protestant religion ; and any man of common understanding might have foreseen that if we did not cast off Queen POMARE altogether, a col lision must take place sooner or later between French Catholics and English missionaries. The island of Otaheite was the very last which should have been placed under the protection of a Catholic nation. Lord ABERDEEN, however, thought otherwise ; he now reaps the result of his oversight, and he and M. GUIZOT will have some difficulty in arranging matters so as to please Eng land and France. If Algiers, or even Toulon, had been occupied by the English, the event would not have caused greater excitement than this mise rable squabble about a petty Queen, who rules over some hundreds of half-naked savages. When Sir E. PEEL made use of the strong expressions in Par liament relative to this affair, we felt convinced that he had good grounds for his bold statements, and that a Prime Minister of England would not have used the phrase " a gross outrage, accompanied . with agross indignity " without sufficient reason. All the French papers, however, assert that there was neither a gross outrage nor a gross indignity; that if there were any outrage or indignity at all, they were committed by Mr. PRITCHARD ; and here the parties are at issue. We only wish them well out of the affair. But is it not a miserable spectacle to see two great nations quarrelling about trifles ? While the peace of the world hangs on the entente cordiale, while the Governments of the two countries are on the best possible understanding, and all the sober, reflect ing class, are anxious to remain at peace, a firebrand is thrown into the midst of Young France, which it will require all the skill of Louis PHILIPPE to extin guish. He has never been defeated yet, and we trust his good fortune will attend him to the last. The public have no means of judging of the real cause of dispute, farther than this, that it is of the most paltry description, and if any serious consequences were to be the result England and France would become the laughing stock of the world. We trust that Sir ROBERT PEEL has not placed implicit confidence in the statements of Mr. PRITCHARD, and that his future policy will be guided by some better authority. Accounts from Madrid of the 29th ult. state that a great number of arrests had been made by NARVAEZ, on the plea that a conspiracy had been formed to overturn the Government. Forty per sons had been thrown into prison for a slight com motion at the barracks, which every one believes was caused entirely by Government agents, in order that a pretence might be had for imprisoning some of the leaders of the Opposition during the general election. Letters from Cadiz of the 25th' announce the ar rival of the French Consul from Tangiers, but the English Consul remained at his post. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. were done at 26 9-16 for cash, 264 at sixty days, and the Fives at 201 for the 23d of August. The Paris papers are entirely occupied with the affairs of Morocco, and the expulsion of Mr. PRITCHARD from;Otaheite. We find, however little new on the latter subject. There is the same rancour displayed against England. Indeed their language seems to become every day more violent, and they complain and bully as if Messrs. BRUAT and D'Aumorry were the in jured parties. The Presse, one of the Opposition journals, asserts that England has no claim to any re paration, and adds—" What she demands is unrea sonable and unjust, and the manner in which she requires it is imperious and insulting. We must op pose with firmness to the passionate reports of her agents the reports of our own ; we must prove to her the first violator of the law of nations was that same PRITCHARD, at "whose feet England wishes to make the amende honourable. She must be made to under stand how wrong her Government was to attempt to bring about so abruptly the denouement of an affair respecting which the information hitherto received was so incomplete. It must be finally demonstrated to Europe that right and justice are on the side of France, to whom such an audacious demand is made. After that England may adopt whatever course it thinks proper !" The Journal des Debats speak in a more rational strain, but it blames Sir ROBERT PEEL for the haste with which he prejudged the question. "We must say," this journal observes, " that the sentiments of animosity and irritation manifested at this moment in the French tribune and press, do not appear to us to be justified by the facts. To hear all that is said in France, one would think that it was a French subject that was incarcerated, and then ex pelled by the English authorities. We ought to re member that the contrary is the case, and that it is not for us, in the present circumstances, to show our selves irritated, or to pretend that we are humiliated The representatives of the French Government, pro voked by the intrigues of a troublesome individual, who has been called hot-headed by his own coun trymen, have taken vigorous measures with respect to him, which were, no doubt, required by im perious circumstances. But since we have a better position we ought, for that very reason, to main tain ourselves with dignity, and not add, by aggravating words, to the very natural unplea santness in which England feels herself of being in the wrong. It is not right to say that the English Government has already judged the question. It has prejudged it with a precipitation which we regret; but the explanations which have been given are, we believe, of a nature to modify its way of viewing it. At all events, the question is one of fact; and, until these facts are cleared up, the French Government are right not to allow of any discussion on the subject." If this be the language of M. GUIZOT, he and Sir Ro- BERT PEEL are far yet asunder ; for, if we are to credit the Siecle, the British Government has delivered a note containing the followingdemands :—" Firstly, the dis missal of M. D'AUBIGNY, the author of the measures adopted against the ex-Consul PRITCHARD; secondly, the recal of Captain BRUAT, who, on his return, has sanctioned the measures adopted by the ad interim Government ; thirdly, the destruction of all the for tifications raised in the island whilst it has been placed under the de factosovereignty of France; fourthly, the establishment of an English station of equal force to that of France, in order that in no case her Britannic MAJESTY'S subjects may want sufficient protection." We put little confidence in these statements. O ne thing, however, is clear, the Paris press , almost without exception, is doing everythi n g in its p ower to control the two countries. Possibly the writers may be successful, and what then ? It is needless, how ever, to speak of the future, and it might be consi dered ungenerous to boast of the past. According to the latest accounts from Tangiers the disputes between France and Morocco still remain unsettled, though some approaches to a satisfactory ar rangement had been made. The Moniteur publishes the following official note on the subject : " The Emperor of Morocco ordered an answer to be re turned, on the l lth of July, by his Minister Sid-Mohammed Bendris, to the letter which the King's Consul-General at Tangiers, M. de Nion, had addressed to him, on the 28th of June, to inform him of the intentions of the King's Govern ment. That answer, which arrived at Tangiers on the 22d July, is dilatory and evasive. "The Emperor acknowledges in it the aggressions made on our territory, promises the punishment of the Raids who have been guilty of them, and demands the recal of Marshal Bugeaud, owing to his occupation of Ouchda. He says no thing whatever about Abd-el-Kader. " On the receipt of this letter, and also of information from Marshal Bugeaud, stating that the war actually con tinued on our frontier of Algeria, the Prince de Joinville pro ceeded on the 23d of July, in the Pluton, to Tan g iers. His Royal Highness made the King's Consul. General at Tangiers, with his family and a certain number of our countrymen, come on board his ship, were he kept them. " His Royal Highness has sent the Veloce steamer along the western coast of Morocco, as far as Mogadore, also to pick up our consular agents and countrymen. " On the 23d M. de Nion addressed the Emperor of Morocco another letter, demanding a precise and formal answer, and giving him a delay of eight days before the com mencement of hostilities. The Prince de Joinville has re turned to Cadiz with M. de Nion, and was to remain there until the expiration of the said delay. " In thedirection of our land frontier, the Kaid of Ouchda, El Gennaoui, has been dismissed and put in irons, and Sidi- Hammida-Ben-Ali, his successor, has made pacific overtures to Marshal Bugeaud. The Marshal has replied that he wishes for the maintenance of peace, but on the conditions expressed by the King's Government. " The Emperor has left Morocco for the north of his empire, without personally receiving Mr. Drummond Hay, the Consul-General of England, who has set out with the intention of overtaking him." The Paris Globe give these additional particu lars : " It is on the Ist of August that the delay given to the Emperor expires. In the absence of reparation, both satis factory and in conformity with the ultimatum, the instructions of the Prince de Joinville order him to open immediately the fire of his ships upon Tangiers, and if nothing happens in the interval to satisfy the legitimate complaints of France, to burn all the ships belonging to Morocco, and to bombard successively the places on the coast, without exception, both in the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic. It is, therefore, pro bable, that at the moment when we write the French cannon have been thundering for three days against the coast of Mo rocco, for it appears evident that the Emperor,whose good inten. tions otherwise appear evident, has it not in his power to grant that which France demands, though these demands are not only her right, but are in themselves very moderate. It required, we are assured, great precautions to embark the Consul of France, his wife, their children, and several French people who inhabited Tangiers, onboard the Pluton. All these people came almost one by one on board, under the pretext of wishini , to speak to the Prince de Joinville. M. de Nion was not able to bring his property, or even his linen, on board. The Moors at length guessed the reason for such embarka tion, and stopped the boxes and trunks which had been packed up, and they even opposed the departure of the cashier, who was obliged to remain at the consulate of Mr. Drummond Hay, the British Consul-General, who had re ceived instructions to declare to the Emperor of Morocco that the British Government thought the demands of France equally just and reasonable; and who was also instructed to use his influence with the Emperor to induce him to do right, and to remove in the most positive manner all idea of any moral support on the part of the Cabinet of London, went to Morocco to consult with Mulev Abderrhaman. The Emperor did not think proper to wait for Mr. Dummond llay, and only left one of his Ministers to confer with him ; but the British agent, who was displeased, and properly so, but who was by no means discouraged, has set out in pursuit of the Emperor. There is the greatest diplomatic zeal in the pro ceeding of Mr. Drummond Hay, in the fact that he has left his eleven children at Tangiers. The Three per Cents. were quoted at TORTONI'S, on Sunday, at 81f. 25c. THIS DAYS NEWS. ACCOUCHEMENT HER MAJESTY. BIRTH OF A PRINCE. WINDSOR CASTLE, Auc. 6. This morning, at ten minutes before eight o'clock, the QUEEN was safely delivered of a PRINCE. In the room with her MAJESTY, were his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT, Dr. Lococx, and Mrs. LILLY, the Monthly Nurse. And in the rooms ad joining were the other medical attendants, Sir JAMES CLARK and Dr. FERGUSON ; and also the Lady in Waiting on the QUEEN. Intimation of hor Majesty's illness was forwarded from Windsor Castle to town at six o'clock this morning. The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Buc cleuch, Lord Privy Seal, Sir James Graham, Secre tary of State for the Home Department; the Earl Delawarr, Lord Chamberlain, and the Earl of Jersey, Master of the Horse, were the first to arrive, having left town by a special train, which arrived at the Slough terminus of the Great Western Railway at twenty-five minutes past eight o'clock. The Ministers and Officers of State immediately proceeded to the Castle in one of the royal carriages and four, which was in readiness. Sir Robert Peel, First Lord of the Treasury, and Lord Stanley, Secretary of State for the Colonies, arrived shortly afterwards, having travelled from town by a second special train. The Right Hon. Baronet and his Lordship were likewise conveyed to the Castle from the station in a royal carriage and four. The Duke of Wellington arrived at the Castle soon after nine o'clock, the Noble Duke having travelled from town by a third special train. At half-past eight o'clock the following official bulletin was issued : " WINDSOR CASTLE, Aug. 6, 1844. " Half-past Eight, A.M. " The Queen was safely delivered of a Prince this morning at fifty minutes past seven o'clock. " Her Majesty and Infant are perfectly well. " JAMES CLARK, M.D. " CHARLES LococK, M.D. " ROBERT FERGUSON, M.D." CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) It was generally understood that the Lord Chancellor would have sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day, and given judgment in the case of Mr. Dy - ce Sombre, but at the usual hour of his Lordship sitting, the following notice was put up :—"The Lord Chancellor, having been summoned to Windsor, will not sit in Court to-day." VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY). The Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce sat to-day, and heard bankrupt petitions, none of which were of the least public interest. QUEEN-SQUARE.--(THIS DAY). Four young men, named Holmes, Nowell, Roberts, and Scott, whose abject appearance indicated that they were no strangers to hunger and distress, were placed before Mr. Bond, charged by Mr. Elliott, the master of St. Margaret's workhouse, with the following conduct. Mr. Elliott said the defendants came to the workhouse, in Dean-street last evening, betwoen eight and nine o'clock, and applied for a night's lodging. Having admitted a great number of persons during the preceding part of the night, and there being no more room in the house, the defendants were told that their wishes could not be complied with, but were offered bread, which they refused to accept, and insisted on being admitted into the house, and provided with beds. Finding that their request was not complied with, they created the most discordant noises, and knocked at the door with so much violence, and used such bad language, that they were given into custody. Mr. BOND said that the offence the defendants had com • mitted did not come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, as they were not in the workhouse at the time. The way to get into the workhouse was not by insolent conduct, but by civility. He should, therefore, discharge them. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Three Irishmen, named Hughes, Mahony, and Fitzgerald, were charged with creating a disturbance at the Carved Lion public-house, Lower-road, Ishngton. At ten o'clock last night the prisoners, who were drinking in the house with some soldiers, became exceedingly dis orderly. The police were called in, who attempted to re move them, but they " pitched into " the police right and left, and several other policemen were called in before they could remove them. The prisoners declared they were perfectly sober, and as a proof of it, urged that they had lost their hats. They were fined ss. each, or seven days' imprisonment. MARLBOROUGH - STRE ET. (THIS DAY.) James Smith, a genteel-looking young man, who described himself as residing at Badham, in _Essex, and of no occupa tion, was fully committed on a charge of stealing a silver butter-knife from the stand of Mrs. Gittins, in the Pantheon Bazaar, Oxford-street. Between five and six o'clock yesterday afternoon, the pri soner was standing in front of the counter when the butter knife was missed. He was charged with stealing it, when he produced it from his pocket, and offered- to pay for it. O n being given into custody, he made a desperate attempt to escape, and broke a quantity of china. He had a good watch and purse of money about him. He declined saying anything in his defence. Wm. Baker and Henry Baker, brothers , and b y trade p a per makers, were charg e d with committing a violent and un provoked assault on one of the footmen of Baron Brunnow, the Russian Ambassador. The Chevalier Benehausen, the Russian Consul, was in at tendance in one of the private rooms of the Court. The complainant stated that, between ten and eleven o'clock last night, as he was proceeding along Piccadilly, th e defendants, who were intoxicated, struck him twice without the slightest provocation, and knocked him down. The defendants alleged that the complainant had struck them first. The complainant positively denied this, and his statement was corroborated by a police-constable. Mr. MALTBY said the assault was a very gross one, and fined the defendants 40s. each, or one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The defendants, not having the money top ay, were locked up. Lord Frederick and Lady . Augusta Gordon Hallyburton have left Kensington, for their seat in Scotland. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The C 4PEAKETt took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition, signed by 1,640 persons, from Merthyr Tydvil, praying for the release of Frost, Williams, and Jones ; also a petition from the debtors confined in Whitecross-street Prison, praying that insolvent debtors may be placed on the same footing as bankrupts. On the motion of Sir G. CLERK, a return was ordered of the actual amount of income and expenditure of the United Kingdom for the current year. On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON, a return was ordered of all sums of money paid into the Manchester Court of Requests by debtors, all sums received by cre ditors, and the sums remaining unclaimed on the 31st day of December in each year from 1808 to 1844 ; also, the number of causes tried, the number of executions issued against the goods, and the number against the person of the debtor ; and of the number of persons im prisoned in each year during the same period. ROMAN CATHOLIC PENAL ACTS REPEAL BILL. The CHANCELLOR of EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day for the House going into Committee on this Bill, and in doing so, gave notice that next ses sion the Government would introduce a Bill to include all Irish Roman Catholic Penal Acts in the present measure. The Bill then passed through Committee. Report to be received to-morrow. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL. On the report upon this :Bill being brought up, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, be understood that it was the intention of his Hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham to raise the question of the propriety of abolishing imprisonment for debt in cases of debts under 201. As his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for the Home Department was absent—unavoidably so—he thought it would be better for his Hon. Friend to post pone the discussion till the third reading. Mr. SPOONER said he did not intend to oppose the clause in tote, but he thought it ought not to come into operation until the 25th March next, together with the 54th and 55th clauses. If his Hon. Friend the Solicitor- General wished the discussion postponed, of course he would do so. The report was then agreed to, and the Bill was or. dered to be read a third time to-morrow. The louse then adjourned till a Quarter before Four. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE W S CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The transactions in Cotton were yesterday extentive at Liverpool, being 8,000 bales, of which exporters took 1,000 ; 600 Surat sold at 3d to 3id ; 400 Egyptian, at bid to 7id ; 150 Pernam, at 54d to 6d ; and the rest American, at al to 61d per lb.—The Railway Shares were quoted as follows : Birmingham and Gloucester, 114; Bristol and Gloucester, 57 ; Chester and Holy-head, Si. 1 ls. 3d. ; Eastern Counties, 12A ; Ditto, Perpetual, 2i. 14s. 4d. ; Liverpool and Manches ter, New, 35 premium ; London and Birmingham, 230 ; Ditto, Quarter Shares, 27k; London and Brighton, 49k; Manchester, Bolton, and Bury, 112; Midland Counties, 110; North Union, 134 ex-dividend; Sheffield and Manchester, 82} ; South-Eastern, 39* ; Ditto, 124 ; Trent Valley, 91 ; Paris and Lyons, 21. 1 ls. 6d. ; Ditto and Orleans, 38i ; Or leans, Tours, and Bordeaux, 2 1-10. The letter received from Messrs. Lizardi, by the Commit tee of Spanish American Bondholders has excited a good deal of animadversion; though, judging from previous oc currences, it cannot be said that it created any surprise. The positive refusal to aftbrd the least:information only shows that the creditors here have nothing to hope for from the present agents, and in this feeling it is to be expected they will act by remonstrating with the Mexican Government. About 44,000 dollars have come over for the dividends by the West India steamers. The late accounts from Jamaica and the other West India islands are rather more favourable as to the weather, rain having fallen pretty generally. At Barbadoes there had been symptoms of the approach of what is generally called the hurricane season. Immigration seemed to be still going on more freely into Trinidad than the other islands, but the planters finding the sugar cultivation less profitable, and alarmed, as are all the West Indians, at the change of duty, were taking measures to reduce the duties. Jamaica was healthy and quiet, except as regards the agitation respecting the Sugar Bill. In Dominica tranquillity was wholly restored, and the militia are highly lauded for their prompti tude and discipline. It is stated that the census had less to do with the disturbances than was supposed, and that the leaders were advocates of a new system, a kind of St. Do mingo republic. The Stock Market begins to look up again, and there is a fair business doing. The declaration of M. Guizot has served to tranquillise, in some measure, the more timid holders, and the safe accouchement of her Majesty relieves any anxietTon that score. Consols have been at a rally from 98-4 to 98 : k fhe Government purchase of 10,0001. has been made at 99k. Ex chequer Bills have been marked 775. to 755. premium, being still rather depressed. Bank Stock is supported at 200. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have rallied to 101 i ; and the Reduced Three per Cents. to par. There is a small business doing in the Foreign Investments, and which, although not quite so fiat, exhibit, nevertheless, a want of buoyancy. Spanish Five per Cents. are 22i, the Three per Cents. 32i to 33k, and Portuguese Converted 43 to 1. Mexican Bonds are 358, Colombian 13i, Chilian 104, and Brazilian 84. Belgian Bonds are 103, Russian 120, and Dutch Two-and•a-llalf per Cents. 61i. For the Railway Shares there is rathe r es§ inquiry, and the advantage continues to be rather with the buyers. The French lines have rallied a little from the lowest rates of yes terday. The London and Westminster Bank Shares arc 64 premium. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

BRITISH TRADE WITH THE CANARY ISLANDS. Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's : " Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, June 14, 1844. " We take this occasion to mention that, in consequence of the differential duty in favour of the Spanish flag, the whole of the very extensive importation of British Cotton goods into the Canary Islands are made in Spanish vessels, to the absolute exclusion of British. The duty is 7} per cent. in Spanish and 15 per cent. on British vessels. On a low valuation of cotton goods the Spanish vessels making good freights hither become the carriers of the produce of these islands to Great Britain." MARKET NEWS.-{THIS DAY.) SAY VIAILZETS.

COL - ONIILL SUGAR.—There has been very little business done in British Plantation, and for the small quantity sold rather lower prices were accepted. Only about 300 hhds have found buyers. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 7,454 bags 128 casks Mauritius, 238 bags Bengal, and 603 hhds Porto Rico. The whole of the Mauritius and Bengal found buyers, the former at a decline of 6d in some instances on the lower sorts, and the latter at about previousprices low to fine yellow Mauritius brought 55s to 645, and low to fine brown at 42s to 54s 6d ; nearly all the Porto Rico was taken in at 19s to 21s for low to fine yellow, being above the value, but subsequently have been partly disposed of for stores, which, however, affords no guide to the market generally. The stock of British Plantation in the Port of London on the Ist inst. was 15,900 hhds 2,406 trcs, against 15,527 hhds 2,370 trcs, at this time last year.

If the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who direct the metropolitan improvements, have any bowels of com passion for the public good or the morals of the inhabitants of Wapping, who reside in the immediate vicinity of the Dundee, Aberdeen, and Perth steam-wharfs, they will as suredly improve the narrow street in this neighbourhood, by pulling down some few old houses of comparatively little value, and remove the cause of the nuisance periodically taking place, sometimes four and six times a week; indeed every time those steam-ships come up or leave the port of London. Great credit is due to the police for their exertions, but they cannot abate the nuisance while the streets continue so very narrow. The number of vehicles of various descrip tions standing in this narrow thoroughfare at times is not less than from thirty to forty. If the desire for the public good does not affect those gentlemen, the convenience of passengers of their own class ought to make some impression on their feelings, inasmuch as they - are greatly incommoded ; for many of their carriages cannot get near the wharf. One old gentleman last week, an invalid, who arrrived just time enough for debarcation, was carried a-pic-a-back ; and many others, ladies and gentlemen, were obliged to make their way through this dirty street on foot to the steam-ship, with evident marks of chagrin. A correspondent on whom we place reliance assures us that land is certainly in the ascendant. The other day a farm near to Hemel Hempstead was sold, and by a country practitioner, at near forty years' purchase. There is a property contiguous to it, which is announced in our columns this evening, by Mr. George Robins. It includes an ancient mansion and 300 acres of land, with a tenant whose family have numbered one whole century upon it; there are ornamental woods, extending to 50 acres ; and our friend the knight of the hammer facetiously observes in his announcement, that it will be in accordance with good judgment to have them grubbed up, and substitute crops of wheat and barley, concluding thus—" A farmer does not need the luxury of woodland scenery to interfere with his more important avocations." FATAL ACCIDENT.—WORCESTER, AUGUST 5. I write in haste, as the post is just leaving, to say that, at seven o'clock this evening, twelve of the navigators employed in our Severn improvement were drowned, while crossing the water, at the works, a mile below 'Worcester. They rushed into a flat-bottomed fisherman's boat, and, when in the middle of the stream, the boat upset. One body only has, as yet, been found.—From a Coreespondent. WELSH HERRING FISHERY.—The herring fishery has commenced at Dinas this week, although the take on the commencement is not large ; but it argues well for a plentiful fishery, the herrings taken being large and very fat.— Welshman. WELSH SALMON FISHERY.—The Salmon fishery is very successful here this season ; there was not such a plentiful supply of salmon taken in the recollection of the present fishermen. Prices at present, Salmon, 4d. per lb., Sewin, 3d.— Welshman. THE EXISTING PARLIAMENT.—At the close of this present protracted session, Parliament will nearly have en tered its fourth year of existence, having already lasted about three years—viz., from August, 1841 (on the 19th of which month it first assembled), to August, 1844. In order "to die a natural death," the actual Parliament must, of course, linger until the expiration of the session of 1848, four years in prospective. Since .the era of the Reform Act, the average duration of Parliaments has been generally less than three years. The first reformed House of Commons, elected in October, 1832, was summarily dissolved by William IV. in December, 1834; the second reformed Parliament had its existence cut short by the demise of that Sovereign in 1837, but the third, which was elected on the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne of Great Britain, lasted nearly four years, and was finally dissolved by the Melbourne Ministry in June, 1841. Of these three defunct Parliaments, only one, therefore, was extinguished by an inevitable, or constitutional, as contradistinguished from a party or political, cause. Of the other two one was dissolved by a Whig, and the other by a Conservative Government ; and it is curious that in both instances the attempts to gain a majority proved a failure. The longest Parliament immediately preceding the passing of the Reform Bill was that elected in 1826, which lasted till the death of George IV., in 1830, put a period to its exist ence. The shortest was the very next, which was elected in the summer of 1830, and suddenly dissolved by the Grey Administration in the spring of 1831, amidst the alarm and excitement attendant on the introduction of the first Reform Bill. It is worthy of remark that of the Parliaments which were chosen for some time after the passing of the Septennial Bill in the year 1716, not a few died a natural death, that is to say, lasted their full period of seven years. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Shortly before three o'clock, yesterday afternoon, a most alarming fire, resulting in loss of property, estimated by the proprietors at not less than 2,0004 broke out in the extensive sheds connected with the rope, marquee, tarpauling, and rick-cloth manufactory of Messrs. Staff and Son, 2, Dawson-street, Great Dover-road, Borough. Flames were first discovered by the inmates, issuing from the shed in which the composition is prepared for smearing the canvas used for waggon-covers, tarpauling, &c., and it appears that the fire originated through the neglect of a lad, who allowed the inflammable matter to boil over, during the temporary absence of the m an w h ose duty it was to attend to the mixture. Before any assistance could be obtained, the fire extended most fearfully, se i z i ng with the utmost fury upon immense piles of marquee covers, one of which was sufficiently capacious to cover 4,000 per sons. It contained upwards of 12,000 yards of the best canvas, and was completely fitted for immediate use.' Be sides these there were several thousand yards of manufac tured tarpauling, sacking, rick cloth, and other stock in trade. The shed in which they were stored was 140 feet long by eighteen feet broad, and the height was eight feet. Upwards of half this warehouse, with the valu able contents, is destroyed. Engines from the South wark-bridge. road station, with Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the Borough district, and from the Waterloo road, with Mr. Hambleton, the West of England, and the County fire-offices, were shortly upon the spot, but upwards of twenty minutes elapsed after their arrival before water could be procured, although the Lambeth, Southwark, and Vauxhall mains reach the immediate spot. When water was obtained streams were poured upon the blazing pile, and the effect was soon evident, the fire being confined to the principal or. northern half of the shedding. It was nearly five o'clock before the firemen concluded their labours, and by that hour no further danger was apprehended. The pro prietors, unfortunately, are uninsured. Some of the houses in Great Bland-street are injured, and those in Deverill street, at one time, were in much danger. Several 'willow trees in the rope walk of Messrs. Staff and Co. are much in jured by the fire.
