HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO.MORRO%V Morning .. '''' 42 minutes after 11. 1 Evening ... 0 minutes after 0. .UFAU , Zn 'ltn. LONDON : MONDAY, AUGUST 5, IU. A debate, which we consider to be one of the most important of the Session, took place on Lord JOHN RUSSELL on Friday night moving for a Committee of Supply. The Noble Lord very properly took the opportunity of entering into a description of the circumstances which made the proposed augmenta tion of the military force necessary. The extension and maintenance of our dominion in India, and the preservation of her MAJESTY'S power in Canada, causing a necessity for the employment of a large mi litary force, were two of the chief reasons assigned by th e Noble Lot d for now augmenting the army. We deem it proper to remind the Legislature, particularly with reference to the disturbed state of England,which th e Noble Lord assigned as by far the most urgent and powerful reason for the augmentation, that, in the maintenance of her MAJESTY'S dominion in India and Canada, the lower classes of this country have neither interest nor advantage. Both places may serve to apportion the children of the Aristocracy, and to provide for the represented middle classes, but to the lower classes they are merely a burden or a grave. They go, it is true, to Canada, but they could be equally well-provided with land in the United States, which will as readily receive them, and as freely give them a home :as Canada. The lower classes, however, are not only expected to bear all the burdens of society, maintaining these distant possessions, to be alone exposed to nakedness and hunger, while the incomes of landowners and the clergy must be increased by law, and the sala ries of judges, admirals, generals, etc., etc., kept steadily at the same level, or augmented at the expense of the industrious classes ; but they must be contented and humble under all their privations and sufferings—their me e ti ngs t o ex p ress their opi n i ons , an d plan means of procuring redress, are treated as illegal by the classes whose incomes are to be kept steady and high by the law, and re monstrance or resistance is called sedition or treason. We heard many things in the debate to please us, and nothing displeased us more than Lord JOHN RusaELL connecting the opinions professed by the Chartists with their meetings, and grounding his justification of a demand for more troops on 1 , ~ r.,soctrines taught, rather than on guilty conduct. Mat pleased us in the debate was to hear Mr. VVANnunToN tell the House that the state of par , ties had the effect of producing anarchy, or the ces sation of e. ruling power. The factious proceedings of the different parties had prevented, and would prevent, the Honourable Member demonstrated, the completion of all reasonable legislation. We too, by h ear i ng wove pleased, . ILLIERS tell the House that it had th e power to re dressmany of the grievances ofthe Mr. V peopl e , and h a d neglected to use it ; that restrictions on trade m i g h t navebeen removed, physi ca l suffering lessened, grid political discontent, which is it s off spring, diminished ,-., or extinguish e d . It must have been highly satisfactory to LORD J OHN RUSSELL to hear all parties admit that he had not applied for an i ncr e ase of military force till it was necessary, and that, had he ask-edifor a larger increase, it would have b een w illingly gran t e d ; but th at unanimous opinion brands the House of Commons with havin g most grossly neglected its dut y , or oth erw i se such a n extravagan t a nd ruinous course would not be necessary. The discontent of the people has beer blazoned abroad for months—for even a year ; `for s i x months the P ar li amen t has been sit ting ; once or twice it has been asked to adopt measures which would lessen the discontent; but to the demands of the people, to the warnings of the Pres 6 it has turned a deaf ear, and has pre ferred carrying on a stupid, personal, party, factions , war to a b o li s hi ng restrictions or promot i ng pros perity. Never was there a more silly dupe of selfish , ‘nassion tha n t h e P ar li ament. N ever did men s o go a,3tray so waste precious time, and so fail in secur. lug the end they say they have in view—the quiet and peaceable government of the nation. But while their som e own present cond uc t an d the words of of ti:e Members stamp the assembly with folly and guilt—while, in fact, they were confess- t, ng their fault, they had no coitip,sion lot the more excusable errors of the misled Char tists, and they were ready to visit the sins of these brothers in error with condign punishm en t. Th oug h the conclusion to which the House came was to be regretted, to hear it admitted within its walls that the sufferings of the people was the guilt of the Legislature, gave us pleasure, as an indication of coining improvement. We were also pleased to hear some Members re commend that the errors of the Chartists should be treated leniently ; that they were not to be despised ; that the cause of Chartism was not to be removed by coercion ; that the House should endeavour especially to convince the unrepresented classes that it cares for their interests, and should en deavour to win back, by kindness and considera tion, their confidence and respect ; to all which proper sentiments, untimely prosecutions and un seasonable attacks are opposed. Such language will do more to reunite the alienated people than the 5,000 additional troops. Why there should be no confidence in the people we know not. They are our brethren; they have the same wants, the same interests as the other classes; they live in the same community, and suffer by the same bad harvests and epidemics. The only reason we see for not having confidence in them is that the State excludes them from the common advantages. It injures, and then it dreads them. A great alarm was expressed in time House for property, because those who expressed it invade the property of others. If the landowners, if the capitalists, and if the servants of the State wish to have their pro perty respected, the surest way to succeed is to respect that of .other men. Of the industrious classes labour is their only property, which is grossly invaded when it is not allowed to be carried to the best market. The apprehensions which were expressed of the Chartists and of their demanding an equal division of property, are in truth born of the continued viola tion of property, ordained by the Legislature for the most selfish purposes. All that the Chartists are accused of wishing, the legislative landowners daily and habitually practice. We are authorised to state that the following re port of contemplated Ministerial changes, which appears in the Chronicle of this morning, is wholly incorrect : " MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—It is rumoured that the following changes are likely to take place at the close of the session :—Mr. Poulett Thomson to be ap pointed Governor-General of Canada. Mr. Rice to be called to the House of Peers, and to be succeeded, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, by Mr. Francis Baring. Mr. Charles Wood to quit the Secretaryship of the Admiralty for a higher appointment, and to be suc ceeded by Mr. E. J. Stanley, Secretary of the Trea sury." Some observations made by Lord HATHER TON upon the surreptitious publication by the Dublin Evening Mail of certain unfledged pro ductions of the Committee on the State of Ire land, seem to have filled the condition of that fear less Journal with a strange delight. The " angry petulance" of the Noble Lord is readily forgiven, in consideration of the admission implied in his complaint, that the article purloined was no coun terfeit : " The notice thus taken has set the un questionable seal of authenticity to documents that must otherwise have relied on our own character for their genuineness and truth." Viewing the case in this light, it must certainly be acknowledged. that his Lordship has relieved our Dublin Contem porary of an onerous responsibility. This method of vindicating one's honour reminds us of a case nearly parallel to it, for the truth of which we arc answerable :—A friend of ours walk ing along the road, then scarcely inhabited, on the south side of Waterloo-bridge, was urgently soli cited to purchase an extraordinary bargain of a real Bandana pocket-handkerchief. He hesitated, not liking his customer, and threw some doubts on the quality of the silk ; but the vendor, more jealous of the character of his goods than of his own reputa tion, warmly exclaimed—" I can assure you, Sir, upon my honour, that it is the very thing, for it is not five minutes since I picked it out of the pocket of a most undeniable gentleman." This is a high style of morality, as yet, indeed, not sufficiently understood in " our duller Britain ;" but most convenient to a publisher not over nice as to means, provided he can accomplish the end of furnishing exclusive intelligence. The public pays for his news, not for his morality, and, therefore, rem, quocunque modo rem. Other Conservative Journals make a virtue of their ignorance, and would not play the eaves dropper, though it were to find out the secrets of a conclave of Cardinals. Thus the Standard, in allusion to these very manifestoes of GLENGALL and Company, says—with a sly grin at its success ful Dublin rival—" The papers of the House of Lords are not to be purchased for money, except by corrupting servants, to which we will not descend ; and we have proof that, to apply for them in the character of gentlemen, only exposes one to disrepect and a failure." This is highly dignified, no doubt ; but the laugh is, after all, on the side of the Evening Mail. It has found out the way to come at papers, which will be read with avidity, in whatever " character" they may be " applied for," and those Journalists who sneer at the mode by which they are obtained, do not scruple to reprint and circulate them to their own advantage. Even Messrs. HATCHARD, the good booksellers, have made un one portion of them— that which treats of Ribbonism—into a book, in perpetual . ): rei memoriam, and the Standard not only copies the whole of it, without acknowledg ing the original source of the supply, but recom mends every one to procure the pamphlet and dis tribute it among his friends. This is exceedingly unfair towards the Dublin Evening Mail, to which belongs exclusively the honour and the glory of bringing Lord WHARNCLIFFE'S impres sions upon the subject to light. It is due to the character of the Dublin Evening l'lail, whose industry all must acknowledge, to de clare our belief that it was not by corrupting ser vants the possession of these prohibited documents was obtained. If there be any breach of faith or of honour in the transaction—and our persuasion is that they could not have fallen into the hands of a publisher without a violation of both— the blame must be ascribed to the " undeniable gentleman" out of whose pocket the genuine article was allowed to be extracted. We do not suppose that any Noble Lord could have been such a fool as to leave himself in the power of the Correspondent of a Newspaper, by actually placing the confidential documents of a Secret Committee in his hands ; but that they were appropriated, while the distinguished owner winked or turned conveniently aside, or per adventure slept, and would not be awakened, there can be no doubt at all. Here they are, however, genuine as subducted ; and being now before the public, together with the authorised Report, it will be our part to inquire, in a few subsequent articles, in what degree the judgment, half-pronounced, and then repented of and cancelled, by certain members of the Committee, is borne out by the whole evidence. We have received Hamburg papers, with ac counts from Hanover of the 27th, the substance of which will be found under the head " Ham burg and Flanders Mail." It appears that King ERNEST, emboldened by the prospect of Prussian mili tary aid, had on the previous day refused to grant the petition of the citizens tor the restoration of M. RUHMAN to the office of Chief Magistrate. The citizens were deliberating . about petitioning a second tim e ; and should they either not do so, o r th e i r peti tion b e re f use d, the Charter directs that th e y s h a ll pro ceed to a new e l ec tion, in which case M. RUHMAN will assuredly be re-elected. What will the KING do then ? This is a question which it might puzzle VON SCHELE to answer. W . e are happy t o anno unce that our Government has just conclud e d a T rea ty for the suppression of the slave trade with the Republic of Buenos Ayres. Lisbon Papers of the 29th ult. have been received, but they merely bring rumours of a speedy change in the composition of the Portuguese Cabinet. The 1 addition-aaltelsitgliintte o l n lig t e h n e ce s a e vedfrom Paris the throws aspect of Eastern no question. Th e Gazette de France, a Carlist organ, affects s urpr i se at the silence of the English press on the subject ; a ll udes mysteriously to the fact of Captain WALKER being on board the Capitan PACHA'S ship ; and expresses a wish to learn the precise instructions given by Lord P ONSONBY to Captain WALKER pre vious to his embarkation in the Bosphorus. This me thod of insinuating jealousies is worthy of the France and the National —the organs of the extremes of Regalism and Republicanism. The object of Captain WALKER'S presence on board the Capitan Pa cha's ship is no secret to all Europe. H e is there to THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, ,1839 peach a TthßlSki ereN the Lieties of British and French seamanship. Over the movements of the Turkish Ad miral he can exercise no more control than can the French physician of MEHEMET ALI over the counsels of the ruler of Egypt. He is charged with no official functions, and his rank in the Turkish Navy is not even recognised by the British Government. Nor is the po sition of Capt. WALKER so singular as to excite the least surprise. In the battle of Nezib scores of French officers fought on both sides, having indifferently enlisted under the banners of the SULTAN and MEHEMET ALL Now, what would the Gazette de France say, were we to in sinuate that these officers must have been charged with secret instructions from Admiral RousslN and the French Consul at Alexandria ? Would it not denounce such insinuations as dishonest and malicious? Why, then, insinuate falsehoods, which are only too gross and contemptible to be seriously mischievous ? In the Commerce of Saturday we find the following important communication from St. Petersburg, dat the 20th ult. It will be read with lively interest : " I am enabled to state to you, in a positive manner, that thg Russian Government, on being informed that the Ambassldors of England and France were both labouring to obtain the removal of Kosrew Pacha and Halil Pacha from their present posts at the head of the Ottoman Go vernment, and to secure their succession to Hussein Pasha and Redschid Pasha, the enemies of Russia, had deter mined on the military occupation of Constantinople and of a portion of European Turkey, the moment that a plausible pretext should offer for carrying the pro ject into execution. The Cabinet of St. Petersburgh had accordingly transmitted orders to Admiral Laza reff, enjoining him to sail in all haste, with the entire of the Black Sea fleet, for the entrance of the Bosphorus. Generals Grabbe and Rasewski, who are at Anapa, were instructed at the same time to advance with their two corps of army towards Erzeroum, and General Roth to embark immediately the troops placed under his command at Odessa and its environs. Instructions conformable with the above decision were sent to-day to the Governor-Gene ral of Southern Russia and Bessarabia, Lieutenant-General Count Federow 1., and to M. de Boutenieff, the Russian Ambassador in Turkey." The weather was extremely beautiful in Paris on Friday and Saturday. Great hopes were entertained that the har vest would be abundant. But the happy agricultural pros pect had not alleviated the sufferings of the commer cialists, among whom distress was daily and hourly increasing. The number of bankruptcies in Paris de clared between the Ist of January and the 26th of July, 1839, was 607. Among them were 93 joint-stock companies, whose debts amounted to 148,000,0001., or nearly 6,000,0001. sterling. The number of bankrupt cies between the Ist and 26th of last month was 87. With the exception of the following paragraphs, there is no other news of interest in the French journals : Accounts from Posen of the 18th ult. state, that the Polish Major, Urbanowitch, arrested some time ago on his landing at Memel, bad been restored to liberty by order of the Prussian Government, on condition that he should immediately embark for England. Several ladies of the first rank had been lately arrested at Wilna, for wearing rings, with the initials of Konarski, who was executed in that city on the 27th of February last. The 200 accom plices of this unhappy patriot were, it appears, subse quently tried by the Council of War, sitting at Kiew, and 23 of the most ..deeply compromised among them sen tenced to 20 years' hard labour in Siberia, and to the loss of all their civil rights. The clergy appear to have acted a prominent part in the conspiracy, for five Catho lic priests have been condemned to hard labour in Siberia for life. A number of students were likewise engaged in the plot, 45 of them were ordered by Court-martial to be incorporated as soldiers with the army of the Caucasus. The Belle Poule frigate left the port of Cherbourg on the Ist instant for Toulon, whence she will proceed to 81*. Letters from Trieste of the 22d ult. state that orders had been forwarded from Vienna to reinforce the Austrian squadron in the Levant, which is to be placed under the command of the Archduke Frederick. Baron de Bandiera had been appointed Rear-Admiral. The Armoricain of Brest states that the Neptune, of the line, went out of dock on the 28th ult. The Atalante frigate has been fitted out with much expedition, and will shortly go out of harbour. The Ocean of the line, the Magicienne, and Didon frigates are getting ready for sea. A report was current yesterday that the Government had received a telegraphic despatch, announcing the arrival at Marseilles of a steamer from the Levant, bringing intel ligence that an arrangement had been actually concluded between the Porte and Mehemet Ali. We find no men tion of this circumstance in the Moniteur of Saturday. Since 1830, 69 of the Peers created before that period have died, 19 were excluded by the revolution from the Chamber, 19 have resigned their seats at different periods, and 38 created since the revolution have also died. There remain in the Chamber 127 peers created during the re storation, and 156 since 1830. BOURSE.-PARIS, SATURDAY, AUG. 3. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price.

No occurrence could take place more auspicious for the regeneration of Spain. _ From Bayonne the latest news is of the 30th ult. The Carlist General MAROTO had published the follow ing address to his troops : " Head(Quarters of Orozco, July 23. " The day of combat is approaching, and we must show the world that the defender' of legitimacy will never yield to usurpers. If our voluntary abandonment of some un important posts have led our enemies to believe that we fear them, we will soon bestow upon them a just reward for their horrible barbarity in ravaging and desolating your fields and fire. sides. The campaign which they have just commenced has been already signalised by unparalleled and wanton acts of atrocity. In Navarre, parts of Solana and Alava, Guebra, and the surrounding villages, they have spread rapine and slaughter; and you have seen the rebel Espartero with his own hands glut his vengeance at Amurrio and Arciniega. In the midst of these atrocities, intriguers are spreading reports of a compromise ; but a compromise can never be effected between two parties of such opposite principles. Let our motto henceforth be, the King and religion, and triumph or die with our arms in our hands. " Your companion and General, " RAFAEL MAROTO." A letter from Onate of the 29th ult. reports that MAnoTo had had an interview with Lord JOHN HAY, near Bilboa. It was certain that a message had been sent to his Lordship by the Carlist Commander-in- Chief, in consequence of which Lord JOHN had come ashore, attended by two superior officers, and had gone to Bilboa.

Second heat ; Reel the Favourite, Arctic cut out all the work, Lord March waiting on him with great patience, when he made his rush, and won on the post by half a head.

First Race.—After the first half dozen strides Tawney Owl took the lead, followed by Confusionee, Bandboy and Emprise lying a length or two behind, to the straight running, where Emprise gave up. At the distance Tawney declined, and Con fusionee went on with the lead, which she kept without diffi culty, and won by six lengths. Free Cup.—Bandboy made the running, followed by the Corsair and Camelino, with the rest well laid up ; half way up the distance Camelino ran by Bandboy, and at the Stand the Corsair went up, but after a good race was defeated by three parts of a length. Launchawav was a good third ; Tawney Owl, The Currier, and Corsair ;,vere beaten off. HARKAWAY CUP.—There were two races for this cup. The first was a dead heat between The Lord Mayor, Bellona, and Ratsbane. It then turned out that The Corsair and Clarion had been left behind, the latter having started on the wrong side of the post, and pulled up immediately on hearing the starter ex claim that it was no start. Before this heat the odds were sto 2 agst Bellona (taken), 7 to 2 agst The Lord Mayor, 5 to 1 agst Mus, 5 to 1 agst Ratsbane, 7 to 1 agst Confusionee, and 10 to 1 agst Clarion. After the stewards had declared it to be no race, I-wish-you-may -get-it and Ilderim were drawn. The odds then were 7 to 4 agst Bellona, 5 to 2 agst The Lord Mayor (taken), 4 to 1 agst Clarion, 4 to 1 agst Ratsbane, and 6to 1 agst The Corsair. The lead at starting was taken by Miss Eliza, followed by The Lord Mayor and Bosphorus, with Bellona at their heels; they kept this order into the straight course, where the mare cut it, and the following horses went to the front :—Confusionee, Bellona, The Lord Mayor, and Bos phorus. They ran nearly neck and neck half way up the dis tance, where Bellona headed them, and after a good race, won by a length. A dead heat for second between Confusionee and The Corsair.

The weather to-day, as on Thursday, was delightfully fine, and the company, although not so numerous, was equally fashionable. Upon the whole this meeting, notwithstanding the atmospheric drawbacks of Tuesday and Wednesday, equalled in point of attraction and interest any by which it was pre ceded. The pleasures of the week terminated with a grand ball, given by the stewards, Sir John Gerard and Mr. Thorn hill, to which all the fashionables in the neighbourhood were invited. It was a splendid assemblage and afforded the highest gratification to the guests. The promises of sport for next season are highly flattering. Among other prizes it is expected that the Cup won yesterday by Harkaway will be again contended for, it having been stated that Messrs. Garrard have purchased it of Mr. Ferguson. The stewards are Lord Eglintoun and Colonel Peel. The Goodwood Cup race was run in four minutes and fifty eight seconds. As three horses did not run for the City Plate on Wednesday the 100 sous. were withheld. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

From the Stamp-office return of the quarterly aggre gate of the amount of notes circulated in England and Wales, by private banks and joint-stock banks, between the 30th March and the 29th June, 1839, as compared with the former return, it appears that the private banks have, reduced their issues in the sum of 31,3961. ; on the other hand the joint-stock banks have inercased theirs in the sum of 47,7471., showing that the total circulation has increased in the sum of 16,3511. From the return it appears that the private banks have been compelled to limit their issues in consequence of the late difficult state of the Money market.

On the Order of the Day being read for the third reading of the New South Wales Bill, Mr. CHARLES BULLER said he felt rnitch obliged to his Right Hon. Friend for fixing the third reading of this Bill at such a time as would enable him to call the attention of the House to the subject. It was not his intention to oppose the present Bill; but he had been requested by several of the inhabitants of both colonies to advocate their claims to a rather more liberal form of government. The pre sent Bill was of a similar nature to the one passed some short time since, renewing for a time the present government of New South Wales. This mode of proceeding last year met with severe censure, of which, however ; it was not deserving. He believed the Government by so doing had pursued the most proper course, because, if in the present state of the colony they had passed a permanent Bill, it would hhve been impossible to give the people that state of representation which they might hereafter hope to obtain. He, therefore, •thouglit the Government had pursued the wisest course, and the °tie most calculated to give satisfaction the people of the colony..,Hq ' would now call the attention of the House to the working Of the government of these colonies of New South Walk ank 4 Y,an Diemen's Land. They had no representative Government; they were governed like the other Crown Colonies by a Go vernor and Council chosen by him, although he believed the Council in these eolonies had been most fairly selected from men of all parties in the colony ; yet, as the people had no control over their proceedings, either in raising money or in the expenditure of it, the consequence was that local heats and animosities were engendered, and party spirit ran high. There was one subject to which he wished to call the attention of the House, he meant the amount of revenue raised from the people of these colonies. The amount of re venue raised from them by direct taxation was greater than in any other country of the world, and the expenditure of revenue by the Governor was more extravagant and pro fligate. The population of New South Wales was about 100,000, and that of Van Diemen's Land was about 50,000. In 1837 the ordinary revenue of New South Wales, exclusive of the land revenue, which was devoted to other purposes, amounted to 236,9001., and the land revenue amounted to 127,8661., so that the total revenue of the colony amounted to 354,766/. The ordinary revenue of Van Diemen's Land for the same period amounted to 100,0001., and the land re venue to 25,000/., so that the total revenue of the colony amounted to 125,000/. ; and the two colonies together raised a revenue amounting to nearly half a million. He would not apply the observations he was about to make use of to the laid revenue, but he would remind the House that the re venue raised by taxation amounted to 326,0001. per annum, raised from a population of 150,000 persons, of whom 45,000 were not free. It had generally been understood that the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land had the honour of being the highest taxed of any people in the world ; but calculating the revenue in proportion to the population, the people of the United Kingdom paid at the rate of 21. per head, while in those colonies the taxation amounted to 21. 3s. per head. Besides, it should be remembered that the Australian Colonies had no debt for the payment of the interest of which a great proportion of the money raised by the United Kingdom was applied, but the whole of this sum was expended by the Government. He would grant that geod Colonial Govern ments might have great objects of expenditure in the judicious encouragement of public works; but such was not the case in these colonies, but was applied solely to the expenses of the go vernment of the colony, and in the same manner as it would be in this country, except that the salaries were out of all proportion. The expenditure of these colonies was the largest and most extravagant in the known world. Not only vv,is the ordinary revenue far insuffi cient for the ordinary ex penditure, but the Government had been obliged to encroach on the land revenue, which the Government had pledged themselves should be set apart for other purposes. The expenses of the Government in this country was 3/. 10s. per head'i in New South Wales they were 21.; they having no interest to pay upon a national debt, having no army, navy, or ordnance estimates to pass ; so that, in fact, 'the effective expenditure of New South Wales was as three to one compared with that of Great Britain.

JOHNSON, BY ADAM SAIITII.—One anecdote I remember, he told me of Dr. Johnson, of whom Smith entertained a very contemptuous opinion. " I have seen that creature," said he, " bolt up in the midst of a mixed company, and without any previous notice, fall upon his knees behind a chair, repeat the Lord's prayer, and then resume his seat at the table. He has played this freak over and over, perhaps five or six times in the course of an evening. "It was not," Smith observed, " hypocrisy, but madness.''—Diary of the Times of George IV. The Bishop of the Diocese returned to Eccle. shall Castle on Friday—we regret we cannot state in an improved state of health.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. The Earl of Eglintoun has made arrangements to leave town the week after next, to make every prepa ration for the chivalric fete at Eglintoun Castle, on the 28th of this month. WHITECROSS-STREET PRISON.— Attorneys' clerks and others, who are obliged to serve writs on pri soners confined in the debtors' prisons, arc subject to very harsh treatment of late while engaged in the performance of these duties to their employers. In Whitecross-street Prison a short time ago, a clerk of a respectable attorney was about to serve a writ on a prisoner named Binks, who has been more than a year an inmate of that establish ment. Ile was assaulted and terrified, and his hat was destroyed; and the Governor was obliged to give the poor man a hat of his own. The plan is, the moment the ob ject of the clerk is known to bonnet him (slap his hat over his face), and then a crowd of blackguards push and kick him from one to the other. In the case alluded to the Governor was ready and anxious to punish the aggresors, but amongst upwards of 200 people it was impossible satis factorily to identify the offenders. Another instance has more recently occurred, and it is believed the delinquents are known, and the Governor will most probably make their names public. The only way to correct the evil is to teach the fellows who thus assail poor men who are obliged to perform a most disagreeable duty, the discipline of a criminal prison. Some time ago parties thus offend ing were convicted at the Sessions, and sent to the House of Correction for six and twelve months. CAUTION TO SMOKERS.—A Scotchman, who was lodging at one of the public-houses in this town a f ew nights since, on retiring to rest deposited his pipe in his pocket, after whiffing away, as he supposed, the whole of its contents. However, during the night, he w a s awo k e by a feeling of suffocation, and , having alarmed the inmates, it was discovered that the remains of the burning herb had sat fire to his clothes, which in a short time would in all probability have caused the destruction of the premises.-- Chelmsford Chronicle. The great North London and Highgate Ceme tery, lately consecrated by the Bishop of London, and es tablished by Act of Parliament, on the south side of High gate-hill, next Kentish Town, attracts much attention at present, more than 7,000 persons having visited it in one day. The elegant new Gothic chapel, harmonising with Highgate church, Ills a beautiful window of stained glass, exhibiting a painting of the Ascension; and the Catacombs present the largest specimens of Egyptian architecture in this country. The view from the terrace extends for a dis tance of thirty miles, and embraces the river Thames as far as Gravesend, the Surrey hills, and the Knockbold beeches in Kent. The Cemetery altogether is laid out with much taste, and is ornamented with a great variet y of shrubs and flowers. T3RITISF sank Stock 3 per Cent. Red gosA . 3 per Cent. Cots. 1.).11 34 per Cent.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.-111oNmouzw, Au 6. 2. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON. ) THE QUEEN V. HENRY VINCENT, WILLIAM EDWARDS, JOHN DICKINSON, AND .WILLIAM ANHUI TOWNSHEND. The indictment charged the defendants with having in March and April last, at Newport, in this county, con spired and confederated together for the purpose of con vening unlawful meetings, with the design of exciting dis content andSdisaffection in the people, and with the inten tion of persuading them to resist the lawful authority of the Government, to the terror and evil example of her Majesty's subjects. The indictment contained thirteen counts, varying the mode of stating the offence, and char ging offences committed at different times, at different meetings, and in one of the counts, the defendants were charged with having unlawfully, riotously, and tumultu ously assembled together, with ethers to the number of two thousand and upwards, and for creating a nuisance in eoris'eqUence. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, Mr. RICHARDS, Queen's Counsel, and Mr. WHATELEY, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. ROEBUCK who was specially retained) and Mr. liekraccicopduct.ed the defence. 'wasThere `every appearance in Court of the most 'perfect atattquillity. The defendants were all of respect ableespkarance. Vincent :is about twenty-five years of age, and is a Member of the National Convention, and had been a printer by trade ; Townshend is a youth of abont twenty or twenty-one, and the son of a respectable tradesman, in Newport ; Edwards and Dickenson are elderly men, the former a baker, and the latter a butcher, of the town of Newport. Mr. WLIATELEY opened the pleadings, and Mr. Ser geant TALFOURD, having stated the case, called Mr. Phillips, the Mayor of Newport, who deposed as to the night meeting, and the expressions used by the defendant. On cross-examination he said—l believe Mr. Vincent, on more than one occasion, exhorted the people to keep the peace, and not to use violence. No riot ever took place in the town or neighbourhood of Newport while Vin cent was there. I do not know that any breach of the peace ever took place at all. I never saw any bludgeons, nor heard any advice given to the people to break the law. Mr. Morris Morris—l am a working shoemaker living at Newport, and was a member of the Working Man's Asso ciation there. The members of the Association were en rolled, and the defendants, Townshend, Dickinson, and Edwards, were members. The meetings were held weekly and in the evenings. I recollect Mr. Vincent being intro duced to our Association as a member of the National Con vention in London, to agitate for that body in Newport and its neighbourhood. The general bearing of Vincent's discourses was to persuade the people that they were suf fering from great grievances, that they were paying half their earnings in taxes, and that by uniting to obtain the People's Chartera better government might be obtained. I beard Vincent call the Mayor: of Newport a nincompoop. A fund was collected weekly as a sort of rent towards the purposes of the National Convention. Cross-examined—l will not swear that Mr. Vincent said be was come to. agitate the people of Newport, but 1 will swear he did agitate them. Mr. Watkyns Richards—l Arn harbour-master of New port. At seven o'clock in the evening of the 19th of April I saw a crowd of about 150 persons. The defendant, Edwards, was forming them in rank and file, and some of them had sticks. They afterwards increased to the number of betiveen five and seven hundred. All the de fendants were with them. Some boys with them were singing " Brieons never will be slaves." I saw some sticks, or something of that sort, sticking out of their pockets. The crowd went towards Pentonville. I fol lowed, and saw a raised platform, on which the defendants were standing, but could not get very near it, from the pressure of the crowd, which amounted to near 1,000 per sons. I heard Vincent say something about the Poor law, and about bastiles, and about the destruction of children. There was a great deal of cheering and noise, and the meeting did not break up till about half-past ten at night. I was not personally alarmed, but I was alarmed generally for my family, and for the peace of the town. Cross-examined.—l heard something said about peace and good order, but was at too great a distance to hear anything accurately that was said. A number of other witnesses were examined, and among them Mr. PhiLlpotts, solicitor, who heard Vincent address the multitude, using these words—" Their cry should be To your tentu, 0 Israel;' and then with one heart, one voice, and one blow, perish the privileged orders, death to the aristocracy, and up with the people and the govern ment they have established." Witness thought the meet ing one calculated to excite alarm in the breasts of peace able persons. On cross-examination—Heard Vincent say—" If ever the people weFe unlawfully put down by force, then the time for resistance would come." Several otlier witnesses gave similar testimony. Mr. ROEBUCK then addressed the jury in a very ingenious speech in defence, commenting on the right of the people to meet, and upon the excitement during the reform meetings. Mr. Baron ALDERSON_ having summed up, the Jury re tired, and in about a quarter of an hour returned, at half past eight in the evening, a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. His LORDSHIP then sentenced them to follows cent to twelve calendar months' imprisonment, Edwards to nine calendar months, and Dickenson and Townshend each to six calendar months' imprisonment. The prisoners were then removed in the gaol van to the prison. Vincent applied for the use of his books and writing materials, but was told he could not have any but religious books. There was a very large crowd assem bled, who cheered the prisoners, but no outrage took place. LATEST FROM AMERICA. By the packet ship Westchester, which arrived at Liver pool yesterday afternoon, in 20 days from New York, we have received files of New York papers to the 14th ult., and Montreal, Quebec, and Toronto journals to late dates. There had not been any disturbances on the frontier. Mr. Seward, Governor of the State of New York, had is sued a proclamation, offering a reward of 200 dollars for the arrest of each and every person who had been con. cerned in incendiary aggressions. Mr. John Stuart, brother of Sir Alexander M'Nabb, and Lieutenant Grogan, of the 32d Regiment, fought a duel on the 2d ult., near Toronto. Three shots were exchanged by the parties, but neither was hurt. The cause of the duel was the elopement of Lieutenant Gro gan with Mrs. Stuart. The news from the United States is not important. The President had left New York, and had gone to West chester. The French steam frigate Meteor had arrived at New York from Havannah, and the French brig of war Oresta had arrived at Hampton-roads from - Martinique. The British mail-packet schooner Arrow, with Lord and Lady Cust on board, had sailed from New York for Bar badoes. The money-market is represented as still " very tight." The share-market was very much depressed. United States Bank shares were quoted at 1131 to 114. The rate of exchange per the Westchester was chiefly at 110 per cent., an advance on the previous rate; but some business was transacted even at 110 4 1 to 110 f. (From the Boston Transcript.) DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AM EASrFORT, ME.--A dreadful fire occurred at Eastport, Me., on the morning of the 6th instant, which destroyed nearly half the property of the town, and more than forty-one places of business. Two vessels, the Martha and the Abigail, were totally destroy ed, having been aground in the dock, and several others took fire, but were extinguished. An estimate has been made of the property destroyed, which is put at 240,000 dollars, of which 80,000 dollars are supposed to be in sured. ( From the New Orleans True American.) We have received intelligence from a quarter that can be relied on, of the intentions of Mexico towards Texas. The Mexican troops are to approach the western confines of Texas in small detachments simultaneously, and to ren dezvous on the Rio Brazos, until the grand body shall number about 8,000 men. The centre is to be supported by a detachment of cavalry, stretched to the right and left, so as to sweep the whole country. The invading ibree is not to be less than 12,000 men. An exterminating - war is to be waged. No quarter to man, woman, or child, will be the watchword. Not a house to be:left standing in the country. Universal pillage is to be allowed to incite the soldiery to action. The whole command is to devolve upon Bustamente, and should he be worsted in his march by the Texians, Santa Anna is to take the field in person, at the head of 10,000 men. The campaign is to begin in September. - NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, JULY 12. The Stock Market to-day has again presented a very depressed appearance, with a further tendency to decline in prices. Sales were made of United States Bank, at 1131 ; Dry Dock Bank 90 ; Delaware and Hudson Canal Company 61; Harlem Railroad Company 46 ; and Stonington Railroad Company at 25. The sales of sterling exchange for transmission by the Liverpool packet to-morrow, were chiefly at 10 per cent. premium, at which rate the Bank of the United States were drawers to-day, being per cent. over their previous price ; some sales have been made for the Havre packet of the 16th at sf. 124 c., but not to any great extent ; bills on Holland may be quoted almost nominally at 41c. ; on Hamburg 30i to 36ic. ; and 81c. on Bremen. In the rates of domestic exchange our quotations generally show some advance for the last week. We now quote bills on New Orleans at 2i to 3 per cent. discount ; on Mobile 10 to 12 ; Louisville to 3 ; Nashville sto 6 ; Natchez to 10 ; Savannah 4 to 4i- ; Charleston 11 to 2 ; and Augusta 4 to 5 per cent. discount.

BRUSSELS, Aua, I.—The King having promised to be present at the inauguration of the branches of the Canal of C'harleroi, will arrive on the 4th direct from Paris, at the Chateau of Marimont, where great preparations are making by the owner, M. Varoque, to receive his Majesty. The'iron railroad frcm Ghent to Courtray will be opened on the 22d. Count Diedricbstein, who is appointed Aus trian Minister in Belgium, will go to Vienna for instructions before he comes to Brussels. The Messager du Gand says, " Many superior officers, Belgian by b.rth, but who remain in the service of King William, accompanied the troops to Holland, are coming successively to see their old friends. Among them is the Count de Lens, brother of the former Governor, and now. Major-General in the Dutch service. We hope also to see the Duke of Saxe Weimar, who, Ls we remember with gratitude, commanded that province for these 15 years, where he gained the affections of all the inhabitants." BRUSSELS, AUGUST 2.—The Belgian troops have eva cuated Martelange. General le Olivier is now at Baslogn with the staff of the 9th regiment and t wo battalions. The troops in the environs of Martelange have for the most part remained in the same cantonments. It is said that General Gerard is going to return to France, as well as several other French officers who held commissions in our army. One of these officers has just been appointed aid.de-camp to General Maquan, who commands in the department of the North. We hear that General Goblet will set out to-day on his mission to Germany. The Commissioners for fixing the boundaries have sepa rated. Messrs. Vilain XIV. and Grandganage will go to Maestricht with part of the Dutch Commissioners. Messrs. Ulfquain and Berger will remain at Luxembourg with the other Dutch Commissioners. There will not be a general meeting of the Commissioners till the proceedings of both provinces are finished. - TRIESTE, JULY 22.—Letters from Vienna say that re inforcements are to be sent from that port to the Levan t , and that the Austrian squadron is to be commanded by his Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick. Baron Ban diera is appointed Rear Admiral, ANCONA, JULY 18.—We learn from Corfu that Ibrahim Pacha, after defeating the Turks, had immediately pur sued them with his Light Cavalry, and that they had already reached Koniah (?) where it is thought he will halt, as the French Commissioner Caille overtook him on the 2d, and urged him to suspend the purs nit of Hafiz Pacha. It seems, however, that they are apprehensive at Corfu that Ibrahim will be induced, in the intoxication of victory, to lose sight of all the political considerations which his father has to attend to, and which it is his wish to attend to. TRIESTE, JULY 24.—Letters from Constantinople of the 10th confirms the statement that the Divan is resolved to conclude peace with Mehemet Ali on any terms. Some, however, pretend that the Turkish fleet sailed with the knowledge of the young Sultan, and that the Divan has given evasive answers to applications of the representa tives of the European Powers. Perfect tranquillity pre vails at Constantinople. Some conspiracies, which were discovered by strict vigilance, were suppressed at the out set. The Janizaries, too, began to act, and the bow-string performs much service every night. TILE HAGUE, JULY 31.-:-We hear that his Royal High ness Prince Prederick of the Netherlands will leave the Hague to-morrow evening, and set out for Berlin. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick Henry, accom panied by Captain Arriens, set o ut yest er d a y f or Flushing ; he is expected back in a few days, and will sail for the Mediterranean at the end of the month of August. ST. PETERSBUROH, JULY 23.—0 n Wednesday last a ship of the line, of 120 guns, which was called the Rus sia, was launched at the Admiralty, in presence of the Emperor and all the Imperial family. ERUSSELS, JULY 31.—The King and Queen are expected at Brussels next week. A courier from Havre arrived here yesterday at half-past two o'clock; he passed through the city, and proceeded by the iron railroad to Ostend to embark for London. The officers of the Finance Department are extremely hu'sy ; last week they were all ordered to be at their post an hour earlier than usual. On Sunday, it is said, 24,000 applications were made respecting the settlement of claims in Holland. For some days past so great a number of strangers, especially English, arrived at Brussels, that the hotels in the Place Royale have no means of accommodating the travellers who are now resorting to the capital. M. Vlemineki has summoned the Editor of the Bel9e be fore the Tribunal of the First Instance, to show cause why he not should be condemned to pay 20,000 francs damages for the injury which he pretends has been done to his reputation by the reflections of that journal, in his nomination as officer of the Order of Leopold. The V estal Steamer from London which arrived at Ant werp on the 29th July, had on board the Marquis of Salisbury and suite. _ _ _ nil — Yebard, a commissioner for the Belgian Government, has presented to the Minister of the Interior a detailed report on the establishment of French manufactures at Paris—Brus sels Papers, July 31. ST. PETERSBURG, JuLY 16.—1 t appears from many orders of the day that have lately been issued, that on the 7th, and 12th of June, the army of the Caucasus gave a decisive defeat to the Mountaineers, as well in the North as in the South of Daghistan. In the order of the day, the Emperor expresses to Lieutenant-General Golovine, Commander-in.- Chief of the army of the Caucasus, and to all the troops in the action of the 11 th of June, in the southern Daghistan, bis especial gratitude, and the same to Gene ral Grabbe, commanding the troops in the Caucasus and Circassia, and to the whole of his corps that was employed en the 7th, 11th, and 12th of June, against the re bellious hordes. Lieutenant-General Golovine is promoted to the rank of General of Infantry, Lieutenant-General Grabbe to that of Adjutant-General to his Majesty ; but both are to remain in their present situations. The same orders of the day announced that other promotions will be made. All sub altern officers who were engaged in those battles are to have donations in money, and double rations of meat and brandy. SERVIAN FRONTIERS, JULY' 17.—The Ambassadors of the Great Powers at Constantinople are extremely engaged. Cou riers are dispatched in all directions. The French and Eng lish Ambassadors, on learning the defeat of Haft Pacha, have required a free passage through the Dardanelles for their fleets, in case the Russians should pass the Bosphorus. It is hoped that this will not be necessary, since Ibrahim will not pass Mount Taurus. Old Tscheskin, a Russian staff officer, is at Constantinople. He has often been. employed on missions in Persia and Turkey, and it is supposed that he is at Constantinople on some political mission. HAMBURG, JULY 24.—A deputation from this town has set out to-day for Hanover, to present an address of thanks to the Magistrates, and especially to the Director Ruhman. A similar deputation is gone from Bustehude, and another from Stade will follow. HANOVER, J ULY 27.—The King's decision with respect to the petition of the Magistrates for the re-instatement of Ruhman, was announced yesterday, and, as was to be expected, refuses compliance with the request. The suspension is re presented as a necessary step, and justified by similar measures against Magistrates on former occasions. An assurance is given that there was no intention of touching the rights of the City. Huhman's conduct hitherto is decidedly blamed, especially his opposition to the superior authorities ; and the direction of the police, which was incumbent on him as director, could not be left in his hands. It is further declared that the suspension is a purely administrative act, and is in no way connected w ith the criminal proceedings. In conclusion, the Magistrates are seriously exhorted to perform their duty in the preservation of order, otherwise his Majesty will make the most ample use of the means which he has at his disposal. Yesterday a proposal was made that the Representatives of the citizens should again address the King, and request the re vocation of the suspension, in respect to the functions of President, and on the other hand, if absolutely necessary, to continue with respect to the direction of the police, in which Ruhman never took much part. This pro posal, however, might be taken as a voluntary devia tion from the Charter, and it is, therefore, to be taken into mature consideration. The most profound tranquillity prevails here ; the accounts from Osnaburg and Hildesheim are not so favourable. Troops continue to arrive here, and a battery of four cannon has the horses constantly harnessed. We hope that tranquillity will be preserved, though much excitement prevails. LIVONIA, JULY.—The Emperor of Russia has given orders to apply the Russian law respecting mixed marriages to the Baltic provinces, though, according to the treaties, the Lutheran is here the established religion, and the Greek only tolerated. However, clergymen not of the Greek Church are prohibited, on pain of being deprived of their office, to baptise any child whose father or mother is of the Greek religion, to administer the rite of confirmation to any such child, not even ff the child or both parents should earnestly desire it; or to admit any person to the Lord's supper, who has once taken it according to the Greek rite ; as such person is declared to be irrevocably separated from his mother church. k is well known that the Emlieror has bestowed estates in Poland, belonging to condemned Polish nobles, upon Russian Generals, on condition of having all their children educated in the Greek religion. Not a few of the persons on whom these favours have been conferred, are of the Lutheran religion, several of whop, for instance, General Manderstierna, have 'demi to accept these gifts. The Emperor seems not to have been displeaseed by this, for our journals now announce new donations to five or six persons, one of whom is Mandersti erna, in which the above condition is omitted. BERLIN, JULY 2S.—Brigadier General Kiamil Pacha, the Turkish Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary at this Court, has returned from Breslavr.—Prussian State Gazette, July 29. t ON e entertainmentCEß T , ,-, at Apsley House, to their Royal j e l E It i i r i m:Ettl:O ss u s s Duke and Gloucester, and Prin.

FATAL ACCIDENT PROM DRUNKENNESS.— A Coronet's inquest was held on Wednesday at the Che quers, Tuthill -street, Westminster, on the body of Charles Fox, aged 58 years. It appeared from the evidence that as the deceased, who was very much intoxicated, was driv ing at a furious rate on the wrong side of the road about nine o'clock last Monday evening, near the Penitentiary, Milbank, his cart came into violent collision with a phaeton beloning to a lady residing at Kentish Town, and the de ceased was thrown on his head with such violence as ._„ dislocate his neck. lie was put into the cart, but he di e d as they were taking him to Westminster Hospital..
