At length Ministers seem disposed to confer something like a substantial boon on Ireland. They have been a long time making up their mind to this lainful necessity—for as such we fear they considered it—but better late than never, and, though we cannot say we entertain any unbounded gratitude for the announcement of their intention to consider next session the great question of Irish education, with a view to frame some measure whose cordial anti equitable spirit may render it palatable to all parties, yet we cheerfully tender them our thanks, and congratulate them on the novel fact that they have, at lengh, evinced a disposi tion to substitute conciliation for the old Tory system of coercion, of whose utter inefficiency they must by this time be fully convinced. In reply to au excellent speech by Mr. `NYSE, on the subject of education in Ireland, Sir B. PEEL not only frankly admitted many of the defects of which the Hon. Meml,er for Waterford complained; but stated that `!.. .abject was one which had already occupied the • ~leration of Ministers, and to which the attention !'ie new Viceroy, Lord HEYTESBURT, - would be .mediately directed. The Bight Hon. Baronet .fur observed, that at an early period of next session, • ~ ( •mment would be able to increase the academical education, or finding their unsuccessful, would givean intimation r. il,at effect to Mr. WYSE, and leave 'urn an opportunity of working out his own views in his own fashion. He added—and nothing could be more satisfactory than his language on this occasion —that " if there should be any failure on the part of Ministers, it would not be from want of an honest de-ire to supply the means of instruction to the people of Ireland; and while on this subject he would take the opportunity of stating that the attention of Go vernment would be directed also to the position of th 2 College of Maynooth, which he felt was not in an efficient condition as regarded the amount of the sums granted for it." This announcement was received by a majority of the House with marked approbation, Lord J. MANNERS, Mr. SHELL, and Mr. BELLEW significantly remarking that they hailed it as an earnest of a more consistent, pros perous, and enlightened line of policy towards Ireland for the future. Of course, however, there were some dissentients, and foremost among these dissatisfied gentlemen was Mr. PLUMPTRE, who, true to the cause of intolerance—a cause which, so long as he continues a Member, will never want an advocate in the House of Commons—expressed his discontent at the Premier's liberal announcement, adding that, O As he professed to be a Protestant, he professed also to consider Protestantism something more than a name, and he ought not to be called on to favour and encourage principles which he detested and ab jured." No one calls on Mr. PLUMPTRE to favour principles which he so ostentatiously tells us he " de tests and abjures ;" he is neither asked to go to mass, attend confession, worship the saints, nor kiss the Pope's great toe, whenever accident or inclination leads him to Rome ; he is left in. the full and uncon trolled enjoyment of his Protestant bigotry, and may cleave to the Thirty-nine Articles with what tenacity he pleases; no one—certainly not Sir ROBERT PEEL —will presume to interfere with his conscientious, but somewhat stupid, prejudices and predilections; all he is called on to do, is to assist in giving fair play to Ireland, and in helping forward the great question of her social and political improvement by means of such a system of popular instruction as may be adapted to the wants of the masses of the Irish population who, at present, are in the most deplorable state of igno rance it is possible to conceive. Surely there is nothing here irreconcilable with the duties and convictions of a devout Protestant ! Even CANTUAR himself, the supreme head of the Establishment, may congratulate the Premier on his announcement with out the slightest impeachment of his orthodoxy. We are not without our apprehensions, however, that the High Church party, which is ever jealously on the watch against any encroachment, or fancied encroachment on its prerogative, will take fright at Sir R. PEEL'S public mention of tl e ardent wish of himself and his colleagues to promote the important—we might add, the sacred—cause of Irish education ; and, with that inveterate obstinacy which seems engrained into its very nature, will take every opportunity of throwing all sorts of vexatious obstacles in his way. But the Premier, we hope and believe, will not allow himself to be scared from the broad path of duty by the remonstrances and clamours of bigots. Having voluntarily offered to do all in his power to promote the question of educa tion in Ireland, he will see the absolute necessity of pressing it forward to a successful issue, and not dis appointing the expectations of those whom his an - nouncement has filled with delight. All enlightened men will be with him on the question, and every sincere well-wisher to the interests of the sister country will give him full credit for the wisdom— the liberality—the kind and conciliatory spirit that have dictated his views on the subject. The debate on Mr. M. GIBSON'S motion of Friday night, on the subject of incendiarism in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridge, afforded another ex ample of the narrow and contracted spirit which directs the votes of the House of Commons, under the leadership of Sir R. PEEL. That House will not legislate, it seems, on grounds so unparliamentary as the admitted existence of a fearful system of criminal outrage, tending to the destruction of property and life —widely spread—and in active operation over a vast extent of agricultural district. This is not case enough for putting in motion those precautionary processes of inquiry and prevention, which must have resulted from the appointment by her MAJESTY of a " Com mission to inquire into the condition of the agri cultural labourers in those counties, and to ascertain the nature of the grievances under which they labour." The motion for this Commission—founded on an allegation " that there is reason to believe that the incendiarism which has prevailed for some time in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, is caused by deep discontent among the labouring population of those coun ties"—that motion was lost by a majority of 89 (there being for it, Ayes 41, Noes 130.) At the amount of the majority we are not so much sur prised, for it is about the average maximum of the Government's numerical superiority on divisions; but at the paucity of the supporters which such a motion could array against the compacter and larger phalanx of its opponents, we are at once astonished and ashamed. Liberal Members of all shades of political opinions were bound to have assembled, in order to affirm a proposition based on the clearest principles of humanity and common sense,—in greater force than an aggregate handful of 41. The contemplation of their weakness seems to have emboldened Sir JAMES GRAHAM to indulge in his favourite propensity of reading lectures to all who venture to doubt of the wisdom, the effi ciency, the benevolence, the paternal character of the home administration of her MAJESTY'S Government: Poor Sir JAMES, who has passed this session through so many phases of Ministerial declension, is becoming somewhat maudlin in his captiousness. Before the Post-office exposures he was simply disagreeable. His obstinacy was constitutional (physically speaking, we mean). His crafty and insidious way of stealing a march upon the House whenever it was practicable to do so, in advancing some unpopular measure a stage or two, was only the natural development of his characteristic tendencies. He is a born stra tegist ; and, like the " Nature" which was the presiding Divinity over the worship of " Capability BROWN,"—that planner of parks and wildernesses, — he " abhors a straight line." His contrasted affecta tion and arrogance of manner, half lisp and half rudeness, was deplored only by his friends; it was a source of amusement to his enemies. But ever since the night on which he was reduced to the hard necessity of imploring a Committee —a Secret Committee—of Inquiry into his own conduct, the bearing of the GRZEME of Netherby has become strangely altered. He is querulous, deprecatory, didactic. He relies for his escape out of perplexing ques tions or unwelcome reminiscences, arising out of the current debate, on appeals of the most grave but delicate nature, to the prudential consideration of the old Members ; or he throws himself in his blandest and most dexterous manner on the "generous cour tesy" of the young ones. He is eager to persuade each of the one hundred and ninety and nine antago nists of his scheme for the amendment of the New Poor-law that he has " prepared a clause " to em body the views or remove the objections that form the ground of the intended opposition. And he talks so complacently of the implicit deference which he pays in all things to "his high sense of public duty,'' that one is compelled to suppose he has at last wrought himself into a delusive conviction of that apo cryphal fact. Let us see what were the cirumstances under which Mr. GIBSON'S motion was brought forward ; and what was the alarm-cry so successfully raised by Sir JAMES GRAHAM and his colleagues as to lead to its rejection. Mr. GIBSON relied, very mainly, on this strong avowal by Sir HENRY BANBURY, a gentleman of eminent distinction in Suffolk, where his family have long been settled—" I must avow my conviction that these incendiary crimes are symptoms of a smoulder ing and dangerous discontent"—and in the language of a letter addressed by the Hon. and Rev. GoDoL PIIIN 9SBORNE to the Duke of RICHMOND, Mr. GIB SON said— " The writer stated, that a deputation of landowners and tenant-farmers had recently waited upon his Grace to apprise hin of the dangers by which they were threat ened ; but that there was not at that meeting a repre sentative of the agricultural labourers. The Rev. writer then proceeded to say, that if the Noble Duke and those in g Similar position bestowed upon the condition of the labourer" half the attention they had given to the land lord and the tesi.". 4l t question, or to the improvement of their cattle, he beliec.7l--they would arrive at the same conclusion with himself—that "_'re was no one oreature belonging to the farmers—there was noi,a al ti t, e Y reared for use or for sale—that had been the subjet. so much neglect as the agricultural labourer.—(llear; hear.) The Rev. Gentleman requested the Noble Duke and his fellow-landowners to compare the way in which- THE SUN, LONDON. MONDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 1844. the labourer :was housed, fed, and clothud, with the treatment bestowed upon their animals, and then to answer •to the public and to themselves why the condi tion of those unfortunate persons had been overlooked." En arguing upon the impossibility of not rererring the Ptr,:wities of incendiarism to some such causes as these, Mr. GIBSON showed that they could not be re ferred to the detestation with which so large a portion of the labouring community regard the New Poor law; for similar crimes had prevailed (to a yet greater extent even) under the Old Poor-law. When it was considered how large a share of the labours of legislation were devoted to moral and religious pro vision, as the House was told, for the rural and agricultural population—what stress was laid, always, on the necessity for keeping up a system, on their account and behalf, of the most extensive pastoral superintendence and church accommodation—it was difficult to disbelieve that they could be actuated in the commission of these incendiary enormities by any feeling short of a sense of personal wrong, and neglect, and injury, at the hands of their employers. It was not to be credited, under such circumstances, that any increase of the number of churches, any additions to the body of the clergy, in these districts ; or any legislative enactments artifi cially to raise the price of bread, would put down this unhappy feeling, or prevent these infamous outrages, if something more were not done to relieve the physical distresses of the poor. For these, and other reasons, the Hon. Mentber prayed the House to affirm his motion. Sir JAMES GRAHAM could not imagine, he said, what could be the motive of Mr. GIBSON for bring ing forward such a subject. " Why had he thought it his duty to state that the interests and comforts of the poorer classes were neglected by that House ? He begged to remind the House that there was such a thing as fanning a smouldering flame." The Right Hon. Baronet next schooled Mr. GinsoN for playing truant from the school of St. Stephens's by a short parenthetical trip into the country : " The Hon. Gentleman, wishing to seek enjoyment, had been absent while the other Members of the House had been discharging their duty as legislators, en deavouring with the most earnest attention to devise some means by which the misfortunes of their poorer fellow-subjects might be ameliorated. But what was the meaning of the comparison the Hon. Gentleman had instituted l4etw•een the poor of this country and the abori gines —Hottentots. Caifres, and Esquimaux ? (A laugh.) What was the meaning of the Hon. Gentleman's obser vations as to the selfishness and cold-hearted disposition of the landlords ?" But the vial of the Home Secretary's wrath was poured out on the head of the Hon. and Rev. Mr- OSBORNE. Mr. Ginsori observed he was a most excel lent man,—a distinguished clergyman. " Sir J. Graham—A rev. clergyman ! He entertained the highest respect for the clergy of this country ; but, even among the most humane m em b ers o f th at body, there were some indiscreet individuals. Nay, there was such a thing as a popularity-hunting parson, just as there were agitating Members of Parliament.—(A laugh.)" Now, in this evasive, timid, hushing policy of which Sir JAMES is so admirable an expositor, lies the fatal vice of the present Government's legislation on great social questions. The night and the day are equally frighted by hideous spectacles of ruin in blazing home s teds and desolated farm-houses. Grain, cattle, furniture, personal property of all kinds, live stock (and not sel dom human life), perish with awful frequency in these devouring visitations, by the abominable crimes of the cowardly incendiary. Yet Sir J. GRAHAM and others would have us remain quiet ; not as we verily believe, because of a perceptible decrease in the number of calamities, but because he would not willingly find Commissioners of Inquiry reporting to Parliament, that want and misery—low wages and dear bread— were at the bottom of their sufferings by whose ven geance it is surmised that these horrors are perpe. trated ; or that cheap bread (which it is the duty of the Legislature to give them) and higher wages (from the necessity for giving which neither master manufacturers nor master farmers, nor farmers' land lords, should be allowed to excuse themselves on the plea of bread being cheap) would touch the:very root of the evil ; and establish the hopeful reign of peace and plenty, in place of the baneful dominion of famine and despair! The accounts from Spain are of a distressing cha racter. About six years ago General ESTELLER had been killed in a popular tumult at Saragossa, and little notice had been taken of the unfortunate event till within a few weeks, when the Captain-General of Aragon ordered Don F. LAGUNAS, formerly Com mander of the National Guards of Saragossa, and two other citizens, to be tried for the offence. They were tried and condemned, and they were shot on the evening of the 10th in the square of San Fran cisco. The execution had excited the utmost indig nation and horror. Many of the inhabitants left the city in order to avoid such a painful spectacle, and so threatening was the appearance of the population, that the General in command had declared Saragossa in a state of siege, that is, proclaimed martial law. If we are to judge from the acts of the Government, the state of Madrid was by no means satisfactory. The streets are patrolled every night by strong bodies of troops, and the .reason given for this display is, l i that a dangerous plot had been formed against the Government, and various depots of arms discovered by the police. The Funds, however, continued to advance. On the 12th, the Three per Cents. closed at 274 at GO days, and the Fives at 21 for cash. The French Government on Thursday received the following telegraphic dispatches : "BAYONNE, JULY 18. "His Royal Highness Prince de Joinville arrived in the roads of Gibraltar on the evening of the Bth, on board the Pluton steamer. His Royal Highness proceeded to Tangiers on the 9th, and in the evening, on his return, paid a visit to the Governor-General. He was received with the utmost distinction by the authorities of the town of Gibraltar, and by the inhabitants who crowded around him." "TANGIERS, JULY 10. "A letter from the Paella of Larache declares, in the name of the Emperor, that the Prince disavows formally the ag gression of the 15th of June, and that he has ordered his son to expel the guilty from the ranks of the army, by dismissing the principal chiefs." Some of the Paris journals that should be best in . formed, take a different view of the question, and infer from the repeated attacks of the Moorish troops that the affair cannot be settled peaceably. The Journal des Debats, on referring to the skirmish on the 3d instant, says :—" This battle, of little conse quence in itself, acquires much importance from the circumstances with which it is attended. It is no longer the pacific EL GUENAOUI who holds the command at Ouchda, but HAMIDA, the Kaid who has long shown himself to be our determined enemy, and is the devoted friend of ARD-EL-KADER. The chief command of the Morocco troops is given to the Cherif SIDI EL MAMOUN, of the Royal family—he who has already made two attacks upon us. The Algerian tribes who have emigrated, and who at first treated humbly with us for pardon and permission to return, now confidently brave us. See ing what is passing in the interior of Morocco, and the great preparations for war being made, they con clude that the French must be driven out of Algeria. In fine, ARD...ELKADER, who, in the two preceding conflicts had been kept aloof by the prudence of EL GUENAOUI, now marches openly with the Cherif EL MAMOUN, who thus affects to make common cause with the inveterate enemy of France. It has become impossible to appreciate the disposition of the Court of Morocco, or comprehend its conduct. If it really wishes_ for peace, if it be in spite of it that its soldiers made the htizekalpon us on May 30, how happens it that thirty-four days - attgav .the. same act of aggression should be renewed, and that Morom4 should assume a general warlike attitude ? We repeat, that - , rfQ are at a loss as to what judgment to form of the future intentions of AND-EL..RHAMAN and his Ministers." The-Con,stitutionnel also views the affair in a seri ous light. " The Moors," it says, " whom Marshal BUGEAUD thought he had completely dispersed, have again appeared before our troops, and forced them into •yombat. ABD-EL-KADER, who was represented as proscribed and a fugitive, was in the midst of the Moors, exercising them in this war, which consists in fatiguing the enemy, without themselves entering on a decisive struggle, flying when the adverse party is too strong, and seizing on some occasion to cause them loss' and- cut off some heads. At the first offen sive demonstration made by our troops, the Moors took to flight, without doubt to return at the voice of the indefatigable EMIR. This skirmish took place on tha territory of Morocco, in the neighbourhood of Ouchda. Whilst ABD•EL-KADER was thus keeping up hostilities between the tribes of Morocco and the Fro h ph troops, the report has been current that a fiC arrawrgefit has taken place between the pl. _tijaArico - was ready to be can rEROR and Iran, k N OLA apnts, I eluded, thanks to the medium. - The situation has scarcely changed, as may be seen. An-DEL RHAMAN is opposed to the war, and his sub jects are waging it. he conditions of the peace will be easily obtained; it is in the execution that lies al; the difficulty. For the last point, there is perhaps no other negotiator possible than the cannon." Indeed, it is not at all improbable that operations against Tangiers have already commenced. The Prince de JOINVILLE had visited that place on the 9th, probably to deliver the ultimatum of the French Government, which, in addition to the conditions relative to the expulsion of ADD-EL-KADER, was understood to make a demand of 100,000,000 francs and 1,000 horses, as an indemnity for the expenses of the war. A letter from Oran, July 6, contains the follow ing announcement : "At the moment at which I write, the Suffren, the Jem mapes, and the Triton ships-of-the-line, the Belle Poule frigate, and the Asmodee, Gassendi, Veloce, and Pluton steamers, are preparing to raise anchor. The squadron will sail to-day for Tangiers. The Spanish war-steamer, the Isabel, on her return from Melilla, where she took troops, has put in to our port. An extraordinary movement reigns here." These warlike preparations caused a slight depres sion of the French Funds on Thursday. No business of any importance was transacted in the Chambers either on Wednesday or Thursday. On the latter day M. CHARLES LAFITTE took the oaths and his seat for Louviers in the Chamber of Deputies. THE BOURSE—THURSDAY, JULY 18. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

In a Treasury minute, dated July 5, 1844, they state, as there is no probability that any additional sum can be expected from the present contributors ; and as the monument has been erected with the full consent and approbation of the Government, in the centre of a square, on the embellishment of which so large a sum has been expended, it would not be consistent with what their Lordships feel to be due to the memory of such a man, if they were to p?rmit the monument to remain in its present unfinished and unsightly state. It appears that the total sum required for the completion of the work is 12,095/., namely, for granite steps, 3,095/. ; four commemorative subjects in bronze, 4,000/. ; four lions, 3,000/., and architect's commission, 2,0001. The Lords of the Treasury recommend a vote of 8,000/., which, with the subscriptions in hand, will be sufficient for the purpose. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)

They will have the income-tax de ducted from their October dividends. Those wilts assented are relieved from the impost. The commercial advices from the West Indies received this morning are not of any importance. The amount of the precious metals brought by the Forth isnot by any meaas so considerable as by the Thames, but which, in fact, con veyed a larger sum in bullion, gold dust, &c., than was ever before placed upon record. The weather was fine in most of the West India Islands. The mercantile _letters from- the Brazils are not of much interest. Many are the complaints of the want of liberality on the part of ' the British Government in not conceding points in favour of a more free inter course of manufactures and products between each coun try. "It is scarcely possible (says a Correspondent) to limit the requirements of this country (Brazil) for British goods, if you will take our sugar upon more liberal terms than are imposed at present." From Hayti, we learn that affairs remained in as bad a state as ever. Anarchy and confusion was the order of the day. The dates are much later than those received before. Several ships of war had been ordered to the spot to protect British subjects and property. At Cuba affairs too are in a bad state; several British subjects had been imprisoned for alleged political offences. This was pay-day in the Consol Market. We have not heard of any failures.

" Who rusas..may read." POEEXGN. In the French Chamber of Deputies the Marquis de La roche Jaquelin complained bitterly of the treatment to which some Legitimatists had been subjected by the Govern ment, and several of the opposition journals of Liberal poli tics join. in the complaint. "We believe," says Galignani " there are few persons, acquainted with the principle and practice of the French law in the proceedings against an ac cused person before trial, who would take upon themselves to defend either the one or the other. We are not surprised, therefore, that such anomalies in civilisation should meet with reprobation." On Tuesday, at three o'clock, the King, attended by Colonel de Chabannes, the Count de Strada, and an orderly officer, went from Neuilly to St. Cloud, but returned at four o'clock. In the evening their Majesties received the Hano- verian and Hessian Msnisters, the Belgian Chargé d'Affaires, the Prince de Wagram, the Duke de Trdvise, General Ber theis, and M. de Rdmusat. An orderly officer of Marshal Bugeaud arrived yesterday morning at the Hotel of the Minister at 'War, not being aware of Marshal Soult's departure for St. Amand. As orders have been given to dispatch directly to the Minister all that comes from Africa, the officer immediately set out after the Marshal. Some labourers a few days ago, in digging the founda tions of the cavalry barracks at Colmar (Haut-Rhin), turned up two silver deniers of Charlemagne, hitherto unknown to the antiquaries. They are of rude workmanship, but in per fect preservation. On the obverse they bear the legend Carl. R. F. (Carolus Rex Francorum), and on the reverse, Civi. Arge. (Ciritas Argentina). Barcelona journals of the 12th state that the health of the Queen continues to improve, and give an account of a visit paid by her to the troops in their barracks, where she was received with great enthusiasm. On the 10th inst. three citizens of Saragossa were shot in one of the public squares. They were said to have been im plicated in the death of General Esteller during a popular tumult in 1838. LAW AND POLICE. At Chelmsford Assizes, Abraham Thurgood, 57, Tabourer, was indicted for the manslaughter of his wife, Mary Anne Thurgood, by kicking her in a most brutal manner. He was acquitted. A boy, named John Hardy, aged eleven, was indicted at the same assizes, for feloniously setting fire to a stack of straw, the property of Frederick Charles Fitch, at Steeple Bump stead. He said that his master had beaten him, and that he committed the act to revenge himself. He was found guilty, but sentence was deferred. The Commission for Cambridge was opened on Thursday, at three o'clock, by Mr. Sergeant Byles, the judges being de layed. There is a heavy calendar of offences from the ten districts. At Oxford, the action brought by the authorities of Eton College against the churchwardens of the parish of St. Mary, for seizing a portion of the College plate, in a distress for poor-rates, was decided yesterday, by the jury returning a verdict for the plaintiff, thus establishing the exemption of the collegiate property from parochial burdens. John Wright, a waterman, and master of the Falcoa steamer, plying between Gravesend and London, was sum moned at the Thames Police-office, under the 23d of the by - - laws, founded on the Watermen's Act, for abusing, wrong fully detaining, and otherwise misbehaving himself towards Mr. Robert Blachford, a gentleman residing in Grove-road, Mile-end. It arose from a-dispute about the fare. Wright was fined 405., and the complainant left to bring his action should he choose to do so. =On Friday bail was tendered for John Alves, the person detained on a charge preferred by Lord Charles Fitzroy, of having defrauded him of two promissory notes of 1,0001. each. Mary Lang, a respectable-looking middle-aged female, who has been twice before charged at Queen-square with creatinF distgriqaiwe at the residence of J.

Inquiries have been made in Leicester, but as no such articles have been missed by the drapers here, it is sup posed that they have been stolen from some draper in Nottingham or Derby.—Leicester Mercury. SUPERSTITION.—On Sunday evening last, and the Friday evening previous, two illiterate fanatics, who re fused to give their names, harangued a crowd in_ the market-place, Huddersfield, on what they were pleased to term, " The sacred advent of our Lord 2" They spoke of the visions, horns, and beasts of Daniel, and the RevelatiOns, and contended that -every prophecy of Scripture, except the last, the Day of Judgment, had been fulfilled ! The sun had been darkened in May, 1780, the moon turned into blood the same day !—the stars had fallen from Heaven in 1839 !--and that -now, there were false prophets,—the earth was filled with wickedness, and they were marrying and being given in marriage, &c. ! ! and that, therefore, the end of the world was at hand, "even," said they, "at the very door." They also said, they were sent by God to warn the people of the "immediate destruction of the world by fire," and condemned the clergy as false teachers, virtually crying peace, when there was no peace, because they would not admit them into the pulpits of their churches and chapels !! ! And strange to tell, many seemed to believe their story, and at the conclusion, eagerly bought their books at ls., 6d., and 3d. each from which the parties reaped a good harvest !—Sunday Times.

When about at the time running strong, having ebbed about two hours—one of the boats in which were Mr. Ramsey and others, drifted in the course of the Torpoint Steam Ferry Bridge, which was coming towards them.— Finding it impossible to get out of the way of the Steam Bridge, Mr. Ramsey several times hailed it, as did Captain Burgoyne, who observed the approaching danger from the poop of the San Josef; but no attention being paid to these repeated warnings, the boat was run down. Mr. Ramsey fortu nately jumped upon the brow of the steamer, and suc ceeded in getting Mrs. Peake and Miss Lampen out of the boat ; the young gentlemen also succeeded in getting out, but the unfortunate lady, Miss Eden, on rising hastily in the boat, received a blow in the forehead from the brow of the steamer, and was thereby thrown off her balance, and immediately fell overboard ; and from the heavy instrument she wore about her person for the purpose of supporting her back, being deformed, sunk instantly.

BRUSSELS, JULY 17.—A letter from Antwerp, dated yesterday afternoon between one and two o'clock,informs us that the Dike of Lille, has again given way. An inhabitant of Lille has sent a short notice of it to the Precurseur ; he says—this morning at ten o'clock, the part of the new dike made after the accident of the 3d of last month gave way. This breach is exactly like the first, and at the same place. This event is extremely unfortunate, and has caused general consternation here. It is doubtful, after what has happened, whether the works for restoring the dike can be continued this year. We are informed that a journeyman mechanic named Corneille Scheers, living at No. 11, in the Faubourg de Schaerbeck, has just applied for a patent for 15 years, for the invention of a machine which is capable of acquiring great motive force by means of a moving weight without steam, without water or air, and calculated to supersede all steam engine. This important discovery has cost the author of it, ten years continued labour.

Paul, belonging to the Dover Railway Company. On board the steamer there were some of the Directors of the Company, who immediately proceeded to Brussels to confer with the Minister of the Interior respecting the conveyance of the Belgian mail and of passengers to London. If they succeed in their mission, travellers may take their tickets at London or Cologne, and be conveyed from one of these cities to the other by the English, Belgian, and Rhenish Railways, and by the steamer of the Dover Railway Company. They may if they please stop on the way, and afterwards continue their journey with the same ticket by means of one of the conveyances belonging to the contracting parties.

COBLENTZ, JULY 12 . —Accounts from Berlin, coming from persons worthy of credit, say that we may expect to see the King and Queen in this city for some time during the autumn, and that they will reside in the castle of Stolzenfelo. Preparations are making for the august visitors in the palace and gardens. The Queen will previously go to the Ischl for the benefit of the wa ters, and thence to Munich, where the King will, fetch her, and accompany her to the Rhine. HANOVER, JULY 12.—According to a statement laid before the Second Chamber of the Estates of the Kingdom, our public debt, amounted, to the Ist of October, 1841, to the sum of 14,154,988 dollars, and on the Ist of October, 1643, to only 10,430,594 dollars, which is a diminution to the amount of 3,724,394 dollars. Soon after one o'clock on. Saturday morning an alarming ti re, attended with considerable havoc of pro perty ad which caused greatest excitement for several hours in the immediate neighbourhood, broke o u t in a double house in the occupation of Mr, Riley, green grocer, and Mr. Francis South, watchmaker and je we ll er, 1, Clifton-place, Wandsworth - road, situate a short dis tance from the Britannia, on the south side of the road. The premises were newly-erected ho uses , an d , w i th four others that adjoined, formed a terrace, the whole of them being inhabited. In which of the former the fire originated there is much difficulty in asce r t a i n i ng, b ut there seemed very little doubt but that it commenced in that portion rented . by Mr. Riley, f or that part was partly consumed before the oth er . F rom Mr. Riley ' s statement it appears he was awoke at about ten minutes after one one o'clock, by a c h ok i ng sensation produced by his bed-room being filled with smoke, and on opening the room door he discovered to his utter astonishment that the house was on fire, and that escape from the staircase was wholly impossible, as the fiery element had reached it, and was making rapid p rogress upwar d s. P erce i v i ng the imminent danger his family an d servants were pl ace d in, he lost not a moment in getting them out of the house on to the leads of a small outhouse at the back, acces sible by the bedroom windows, where he remained some considerable time unobs e r ve d, although he kept calling loudly for assistance. At length a ladder was procured, and being placed against the wall, they all descended, but with very little covering on besides their night clothes. The loss sustained by the parties burnt out will, it is expected, exceed 1 , 5001., re-building of the premises, as the whole of the m are i n ruins, the party walls having given way and fallen before the fire was got under. The other sufferers by the fire are as follows :—No. 2. Mr. W. Moseley, shoemaker, insured in the Sun fire- office ; No. 3, occupied by Mr. Tervall, fishmonger ; No, 4, tenanted by Mr. Meggs, dealer in toys, &c. ; and No. 5, occupied by Mr. Horley, not insured. It was nearly eight o'clock in the morning before the engines were withdrawn from the spot. We learn from good authority that Alex. Oswald, Esq., M.P. for this county, is about to lead to the hymeneal altar Lady Louisa Johnstone, widow of the late Sir Frederick. ' Johnstone, Bart.—Ayr Observer, LLOYD'S SitliVING. LONDON.
