The Common s met as usual. Some conversation took place about Divorce Bills, which some Hon. Mem hers, proposed to refer, like other private Bills, to a Select Committee. On Lord JOHN RUSSELL moving the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Jamaica Bill, Mr. HUME inquired whether any answer had . been sent to the request of the House of Assembly to be allowed to legislate. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, not that, but for the Crown to relinquish the right to legis late for the Colonies, was the object of the re quest of the House of Assembly. A little dispute arose on this point, Mr. HUME co:wending on one side, and Mr. LABOCCHERE on the other. The Hon. Member concluded the controversy by declaring that he would not divide the House, but he protested against the Bill. It was read a third time. On the question that it pass, Mr. Gonertras moved to omit the three first words of the first clause. Mr. HUME spoke in favour of the motion, and hoped the Bill would be rejected. Lord JOHN RUSSELL spoke for, and Sir ROBERT PEEL, both very shortly, against the Bill, and then the House di vided. The Amendment was rejected by 267 to 257, the Ministers having a majority of 10. It was, how ever, the last stage of the Bill in the Commons, and it will he sent up t o t h e L ords to be disposed of by their. Lordships. 1 The adjourned debat e on the subject of the Board of Privy Council was resumed by Mr. WYSE. The Hon. Member has long taken a distinguished part on this subject, and is probably as well acquainted with its history, and the progress made in foreign countries, as any Member of either House.. The Hon. Member entered at considerable length into the statistics of the 1 subject, and into the proofs, not forgetting the case of Tlloat, that education was much neglected in this country. Mr. COLQUHOUN followed Mr. WYSE, and was for sticking to the present system. He objected to the proposed Board, and supported his views by re marking that the plan was generally objected_ to. Mr. C. BULLER made an able and spirited speech in f:vour of the Government scheme, and contended that all the objections resolved themselves into a disposition to dony education altogether to the people. He ex torted from Lord STANLEY a denial that he had said education should be under the control of the clergy. Mr. Ilum.ca took up that ground, however, an:l Ishowed that the Church had no machinery for edu eating. the people. If he bad said that it has a vory powerful machinery for keeping from them the light of knowledge, he would have Lev u rerfectly correct. A most powerful machinery ills the Church —it extends into every village —and we are free to admit that we cannot comprehend h ow fle-tse who think the Church a useful institution, I an inF7fitation calculated to enlighten and civilize the I p--1d eby the doctrines it teaches—those who, like the L Mir sters, perpetually praise the Church—we cannot I comprehend how they can wish to take education from its eircient inspection and control, flow well the Clergy can ioipect and control it, how effectually they can stifle or pervert knowledge, needs no proof; and those wr io epp:ov e of the Church are inconsequent in desiring 1 any improvement in the knowledge of the people. Mr. C. BULI.FR Very properly said that never, since the tim e of SACHEVEREL, had the conduct of the priesthood been so mischievou s as of late, end never since the time 1 of Len had their doctrines been so alarming. Mr, ACLAND made a ram bli ng , rigmarol speech in favour of the Church, which, in his view, is the model of P er fection, and ought not to be meddled with or inter rNuptedin its process of pulling out the mental eyes of youth. With that love of anonymous , uthorit which has of late delig,lited the Opposition. 11 " 1r.

Dowding, 82, Newgate street, and to be had of all other Booksellers in town and country. may agree to follow aleader ; but the Members in general will no longer be obedient, as formerly, to the borough owners' commands. The Ministers then, not now having, by the mere fact of posses sing the general confidence of the House of Com mons, the same command over their partizans and adherents as in the olden times of boroughmongery, must act accordingly, and perhaps rather allow the independent Members to propose new laws than b e too forward in proposing such themselves. Sir HOBERT PEEL indeed, nnder the drilling of his youthful days, has hi s sc h emes rea d y cut an - 1 dried, and insists on the Executive Government acting also the part of Lords of the Articles, and preparing all the measures that are to be submitted to Parliament. He always remembers that he is to be the future Prime Minister, and makes all his troops act so as to throw no ernbar rassmmt in his way when he accedes to office. He therefore originates no measures, and none of 11;s followers propose any. But when he is in c.ffiee the then Opposition will not act on his tactics. He has, in fact, already experienced that. Owing to various circumstances, a degree of forbearance has been shown on the part of independent and Op position Members in originating measures, which will probably never again be exhibited. There will, by and by, be an independent Opposition, acting on Reform principles, eager and zealous in introducing measures to the House of Commons, the movers in all new plans, and then Sir Ito BERT PEEL will find his present scheme of making the Executive Go vernment the author of all legislation impracticable. The Revolution of 1832 demands a reform in the practice of Parliament which has not yet been un dertaken. WONDERFUL POWER OF MEMORY. In our Journal of the Bth instant we called the attention of our readers to an extraordinary exhibi tion, which we had witnessed, of the powers of memory possessed by a talented young foreigne r , Master Gu s t ave Ad o l p h e B ass l e, son of the Che valier Bassle, who has himself been the instructor of his son, and the system by which he has, ob tained the very extraordinary results is to be made public during his residence in England. The pub lic will be delighted to learn that an opportun;ty. is announced of witnessing the powers of this sur- prizing boy at a conversazione, under the especial patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, to be held at Willis's Rooms on . th e 28 t h _ _ instant, at two o'clock. Vast have been ,the sums expended in the acquirement of knowledge, but how little upon the best methods of retaining it ! At a time hen education is becoming an engrossing subject of national policy, how important will it be if the system of the Chevalier Bassle can be ren dered available for the rising generation! The re ception which this surprizing youth has met with from the Princes and Nobles of the land, as well as from the brightest ornaments of literature and science, is no more than his talents deserve. Letters from Constantinople of the 28th ult., state that the Ambassadors of England, France, and Russia, at the Porte, despair of being able to prevent hostilities between the SULTAN and the Viceroy 'of EGYPT. So eager is MAHMOUD to punish his refractory vassal, that at a recent meeting of the Divan, he could hardly be prevailed upon to relinquish a resolution which he had formed of leading the Turkish army in person. His Ministers, however, so fcrcibly represented to him the disgrace which it would cast upon the Moslem faith, if the Representative of the Prophet were to lead an army for the subjugation of a s l ave , t h at hi s Hi g h ness consented to remain during the conflict within the sate pre cincts of his capital. The attendance of the English and French Ambassadors at the meetings of the Divan was more than usually frequent for nearly a month previous to the date of these letters. According to one of them Lord PONSONBY was requested to state his precise in structions in the event of the Porte commencing hosti lities, and particularly whether England purposed to oppose more than moral power against the aggressor. His Lordship answered, that though England was most anxious to maintain peace, he was not instructed to say that she would take any armed part whatever in the conflict. Admiral RoussiN was next solicited to make known the determination of his Court, but his Excel. lenc.v's answer was not communicated to our Corre spondent. The Russian Ambassador, M. BOUTINIEFF, stated that the succours which his Imperial Master was bound by Treaty to give Turkey, would be refused, should the SULTAN commence hostilities, or otherwise provoke a war; and that Russia would reserve to her self the right of only interfering to maintain the inte grity of the Ottoman Empire. Thus it would appear that while the Three Great Powers are most anxious to maintain peace, there is none of them pre pared to threaten a single shot to prevent hosti lities. Now it is not their aid but their neutrality that is . sought both by the SULTAN and the VICE ROY. MAHMOUD seeks only to be relieved from what be regards as an insulting restraint on the exercise of his just soverei gn ty ; an d MEHEMET Au reposes that confidence in his genius ar.d his destiny, as to feel a conviction that with no other enemy than the SULTAN, he would easily win for himself and his dynasty the Royal sceptres of Egypt and Syria. In one letter, however, the fanciful idea is entertained that the Turks stand a fair chance of winning all Syria without firing a shot. Accordi ng t o thi s very ingeni ous write r t h e thing is to be done in this way. HAFIz PACHA, the Turkish General in -Chief, will neither ad vance nor retire, but remain precisely where be is at present. IBRAHIM PACHA, the Egyptian Commander, being obliged by his instructions not to advance, must retire when he can no longer subsist his army, and as that will operate upon the minds of the Syrians as a defeat, they will at once declare for the SULTAN, and so there will be an end of the matter. This is less troublesome than the plan of King PICHROCOLE'S courtiers for subduin g the world, so pleasantly chro nicled by Rabelais, and less pugnacious than the compendious method o f su bdi viding an army, so cL.vised by the gallant Captain Bobadil, but it is not a jet more practicatle. The plain reason of this is that if the starving system be adopted, HAFIz PACHA n.ust be the fir_ to run, as he hes no provisions, and their own way ; both the anonymous authorities telling strongly in favour of the Ministers' plan. The debate was closed for the evening by Sir S. LUSHINGTON, whose speech commanded the attention and the warmest cheers of the House. The Learned Gentleman exulted in the discussion, and so do we, as I.a‘ing tended to dissipate many of the prejudices w ich yet attach the people of England to their iroolerant, illiberal, knowledge-stifling, priesthood. Their friends meant well, no doubt, but the present discussion has opened the eyes of many persons to their inordinate pretensions, and to their incapacity to effect any public benefit. The debate was adjourned. The House sat till Half-past Twelve. In the course of his speech the night before last Mr. IVlAcit t11..A Y . adverted to a subject on which we have frequently, though incidentally, made remark§. He said in substance, that how far the Executive Government should influence the Legislature was a question which had never been decided. He knew no person of any eminence who had every treated of it, and knew of no writing on the subject. But this very uncertain, until's cussed, and unknown rule has been for many months, and even some years past, assumed by al -most all the journals of the empire, of all parties, as if it were most positive and most certain ; and the Ministers have been called weak and vacil lating by some, and powerless and worthless by others, because they have not been able to influence or command both Houses of Parliament. How far they have influenced public opinion by the doctrines they have, professed/ and how far they might hare influenced it by different and bolder doctrines, we will not now stop to in quire. Nor is it our business to vindicate all their proceedings ; we content ourselves with affirming, on Mr. MACAULAY'S authority, that there is no settled rule to guide their conduct in influencing the Legislature; and that the point, most important as it now is, has never been examined. It is-not on this point only that the prevalent doc trines in relation to the mutual influence of the Exe cutive and the Legislative powers require revision. Mr. M ACAUL AY stated, the night before last, that the Reform Act was a revolution, and in no respect was it a greater revolution than in changing the relative position of the Ministers and the Par liament. Before • that period the people had, .comparatively, little influence over the House of Commons. The two parties of the Aristocracy managed the whole matter by themselves ; and as they could agree, or split their differences, they were enabled quietly to govern both Ministers and Parliament. Then the whole empire was ruled for their behoof, and Members independent of them, and dependent on popular constituencies, were hardly known. Now there is in the House of Commons a large body of Members dependent solely on popular constituencies, and independent of the Aristocracy. This is quite a new con dition in our Constitution. It is no longer in the power of the Ministers, let them be. who they may, to exercise the same controu over the House as formerly. A large - party,- corn rosed of men of all principles, having no other o' jeer in view than : to get hold of the Governme the writer of this ingenious plan of conquering Syria has unfortunately forgotten to supply him with any. But warlike as are the tone of these com munications, we still entertain the opinion that peace will be preserve I through the instru mentality of France and England. This, too, is the impression at Vienna, according to the Ger man journals received this morning, in which we find letters from Constantinople of the same dates as the latest received direct from the Turkish capital in Lon don. From the following extract from a letter from Toulon, dated the 13th inst., published by the Courrier Francais of Tuesday, it may be inferred, that France is not disposed to remain a passive spectator of a war in ' Syria, and a full knowledge of this fact can hardly fail to damp the ardour of the belligerents "It would appear that the despatches of Admiral Roussin, an abstract of which had been transmitted by telegraph to Government, were not altogether of a peace. able nature, for an order by telegraph has since been re. ceived here to hasten the sailing of ships of war destined for the Levant. Tho shipi of the line., the Trident and the Genereux arc getting ready for sea ; and the steamer Rapier will start to-night, and be followed to-morrow by the war-brig the Comete and the corvette Brillaute." The French Papers of Tuesday, the whole of which we bate received, contain no news of any interest. The Opposition Journals intimate that the re-appearance of the Illoniteur Republicain on Sunday was the work of the police, and that these persons employ all their lei sure in fabricating plots and circulating libels, in order to prejudice the cause of the unfortunate men now at the bar of the Chamber of Peers. The Corrtio Nacional of Madrid points out with a de gree cf alarm the continued agraadisemcnt of the military power. At the head is General Espartero, whose ambition might endanger the mocarchy.i The title of Duke of Vic toria ought not to have been conferred on the General-in- Chief, unless ho had entirely put down the Carlists, and restored peace and liberty to his country. General Azuar has succeeded in introducing a convoy of provisions into Lucena, after having driven the rebels from the advantageous positions which they occupied on the eminences which command these defiles. The same Ge neral entered Murviedro with his division on the 3d of this month, in the afternoon. The Phare of Bayonne, says—The war in Catalonia is assuming a ferocious and frightful character. The unin terrupted advantages gained by the rebels since the action cf M anilieu, has considerably swelled their ranks, and in creased their audacity. We are assucd that they are cannonading Vich. A Saragcssa Journal says that the rebels report that they expect a landing of 8,000 muskets. The Government (sb, , uld take:advantage of this notice.--Le Commerce. BRUSSELS, JUNE 17.—General Evain has retuned from Paris, where he has passed some weeks. JUNE 17.—The Moniteur gives a complete list of the persons who perished in the terrible catastrophe which destroyed part of the village of Grumberg. here,, on the 1 ight of the 4th of June, by which twenty two houses, in habited by thirty-one families were destroyed, and seventy four poisons killed, all whose bodies have been found and buried, except those of two children, one 'nine months, and the other six weeks old. We hear that after the Council of Ministers, to be held to-day, in which the King will preside, instructions will be kc n t from the several departments for delivery up o': the portions of territory in Limburg and Luxemburg, ceded to Holland. It seems that Baron de Steershnult will be charged with this mission for the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. It is affirmed that our Government has given orders that Venlon shall he delivered up to the Dutch on the 2lst instant. GRIMBERGIIENI, JUNE 16.—A strange fatality seems to hang: over this part of the country this year. The storm of yesterday did immense d image ; the hail destroyed the crops on whole farms between Malines and Brussels.

Weather by's office a written statement or defence by that period. ASYLUM FOR AGED AND DE CAYED FREEMASONS. The fourth anniversary of this Institution was held yes terday at Freemasons' Hall, Rowland Gardiner Alston, Esq.,' Deputy Provincial Grand Master for Essex, in the chair, supported by several eminent members of the I fraternity, both metropolit,n and provincial. A large, although not crowded, a,s , mblage of the brethren mani fest,d the favourable opinion entertained of this ex2,ellent Institution. After the cloth had been removed, and the " Benedietus" sung with pleasing (ffz:et by the professional brethren, under the direction of brother Hawes, The CHAIRMAN introduced the healtti of the Queen in a short but pithy address, testifying that however dearly prized her 1114 . sty may be among her subjects generally, she was especidly so by the members of the eraft,•wilo were - ever the first among, the loyal, as the earliest among the charitable. " The Queen, and God bless her," was received .- with loud cheers, and followed by the national • •antherri. The Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal fa. .roily," was received with equatenthusiasm. Gtee-=" Strike the lyre." "Bis. Royal Ugliness the Duke of Sussex, the Most MorshipruLGrand Master," was introduced bythe Chairman, with an emphatic wish that he might long live to preside overllie masonic body, and the expression of a conviction that ling afkr the hall in which the meeting was assembled had cramblel' away, his name would be remembered among masons as the good Duke of Sussex. " The Earl of Durham, Provincial Grand Master," elicited the usual demonstrations of respect. Miss Hawes, joining the musical corps, then assisted in giving effect to the beautiful glee of " Blow gentle gales." " The Earl of Zetland, Deputy Grand • Master, and thn other Grand Officers of England," received the cus tomary honours. J. L. M`MuLLIN, Esq., returned thanks. He had no doubt that on the next occasion the Noble Earl would be present, and a larger assembly of grand officers than cir cumstances had permitted to attend on the present occa sion.—( Cheers. ) " Oh, whistle and I will come to thee, my love," by Mrs. Collier, was then sung with much epigrammatic ap plication. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Prosperity to the Asy lum for Aged and Decayed Freemasons." which he pre faced with a very eloquent speech, the effect of which was testified by a subscription of nearly 6001. The " Three tasks," a masonic glee, was admirably sung, and afterwards, an elegant address, written by Douglas Jerrold, was read and warmly applauded. To the health of " The Tieasurer and General Com mittee," R. T. CnucErix, M.D., responded, and delivered a brief sketch of the progress of the charity. E. WHITE, Esq. of Somerset, proposed the health of the Chairman in a very appropriate address, which was suitably responded to : and after the other routine toasts of the day, the company separated, highly pleased with their entertainment, and joining earnestly in " hearty good wishes" for tho speedy advancement of the good cause.

SPENCER'S TRAVELS IN CIRCASSIA, Sze., THIRD AND CHEAPER EDITION.—When this admira ble work was first published, we felt great pleasure in the performance of our duty in pointing out its excellence, and that we were not wrong in our judgment is evident from the fact of its having already run through two large editions, the third being now before us. Captain Spencer is an experienced traveller, acute, well-informed, vigilant, penetrating, and ingenious, and his very extensive tour lay through regions little known to England, in themselves of the most interesting character, and daily becoming more so from the course which political events are taking. In the present edition of the travels we find numerous notes that are of considerable utility, whilst much of the matter in the body of the work itself is likewise new. The ex traordinary course that events have taken, and are taking, in Persia, ['Prat, India, and, we m a y a dd , in Turkey, Egypt, and Syria, must make all European readers anxious to be well acquainted with the actual condition of Cir cassia and the Asiatic countries bordering on the Euxine or Black Sea, and we know of no work that gives , more recent or satisfactory information on the subject than that before us. Having before drawn public attention to this excellent work, we have only to express our approbation of the additions that have been made to it, and to repeat that the volumes arc of delightful perusal.--Dispulch. DEATHS FROM ERYSIPELAS.--It is computed that two hundred i;ersons have died within six weeks with inflammation on the brain, produced by this disease. If the head and neck of the person S 3 suffering were to be well bathed every two hours with warm water, and then to be well rubbed for a considerable time with plenty of Holloway's Ointment, it would in all cases cute this dis ease. The wonderful powers of this extraordinary Oint ment over all external diseases are more than astonishing. It ought to be kept in every family. It can be obtained of any respectable chemist and druggist throughout the king dom ; or of the proprietor, 13, Broad -street-buildings, City. THE SOCIAL CONDITION OF IRELAND.—W e Perceive that the new novel having the important aim of illustrating the present social condition of Ireland, entitled " The Manor of Glenmore, or the Irish Peas.tnt," in 3 vols., is published this day, by Mr. gull, 19, Holies_ street. The work is avowedly nritteu by a .Member of the Irish I3ar, who has most judiciously dedicated it to the English nation.. " You cannot say to the sea of our troublos, 4Be still;--nor to the tempest which rages in Ireland, 'Do not blow.' We are a nation grown up to manhood, and the only force that can subdue us is the force of equity."—Dr. Do,yle's Letter to the Duke of Wtllivton. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. Janics Perceval, a soldier, was indicted for violently as sauittng- John Selby Watson on the Queen's highway and stealing his moneys, value 81. Mr. BODKIN stated the case to the Jury, and described it as one of the' most extraordinary nature, demanding the greatest attention to its investigation. John Selby Watson lived at Eltham in June, 1838; he was going down Will Hall-lane on the 6 t h o f t h at month, at about half-past ten o'clock, when he passed a man named Lepard. When he had proceeded about 200 yards down the lane he met two soldiers; one of them wished him geed night, and the other struck him a violent blow on the head with some weapon, which stunned him. When he recovered his senses he discovered that one of the soldiers was rifling his pockets, and the other stuffed his mouth with sand. They afterwards ran off towards Wool wich. Witness afterwards returned to Eltham, accom panied by Lepard. He was much hurt. Henry Lepard was going from Woolwich, coming to Eltham, on the evening of 6th June, 1838. He saw Mr. Watson going up WilrHall-lane ; h e met a man named Norton; the lane was not straight. When he had pro. ceeded up the lane some distance he found Mr. Watson, Rho was very much hurt. James Watt, high-constable of Woolwich, saw Nor ton the morning after the robbery. Be made a state ment, in consequence of vihich Perceval was taken into cu,tody and examined before the Magistrates. Pcrceval made a statement which was taken down in writ ing ; he called a man named Baker, who gave evidence in his behalf. The deposition of Baku- was here offered to be put in and read. Mr. DOANE objected to this course being pursued. Mr. Baron GURNEY overruled the objection, of which he ook a note. The deposition of Baker was then read, which stated that at half past nine on the night in queition Perceval and himself went together co the Lower road to Greenwich, and went into the Black Boy at Greenwich, where they remained all night. Mr. Watts recalled.—W as present at the last December Sessions, when this Baker was convicted of the same offence with which prisoner is charged. Henry Norton.—ls a soldier in the Royal Marines. Went to Elthamion the 6th of June ; came down Will Hall. lane at about half past ten ; he was alone. Met Lepard in the lane; met James Perceval and another soldier before he met Lepard—they had on a regimental dress. Has shown the constable where he met them ; they were go i ng f rom Woolwich. He spoke to Perc eva and asked him where he was going, he said to Foot's Cray; the other man did not say anything. Had known Perceval some time. Did not see Mr. Watson. Returned to the Barracks that night. Was spoken to that night in Barracks about the robbery and stated what he knew. Ile was taken into custody and was afterwards taken before the Magistrates and examined as a witness in the presence of Perceval. Was abroad on duty in last December; returned about.a month ago. George Chapman—ls Sergeant-Major of Marines. Knows the prisoner. He was absent on leave on the night of Jute 6,1838 ; he returned to barracks late on the night of the 7th or early on the morning of the Bth. Baker was also absent, without leave. Saw him on the Bth. Norton has been out of England on duty; went cut in the Hast ings. Perceval had been in the corps a couple of years, and no charge had been made against his honesty. James Allen is a serjeant in the Royal Marines, was in barracks on the night in question; saw Norton come in, he had been drinking but was not drunk; did not see Perce. val leave that night ; remembers a constable coming to the barracks that night. J. S. Watson recollected the cap the soldier bad on who attacked him, was a round cap, rather high with a tassel. The Scrjeant- Major being recalled stated, that the cap the prisoner Would have on when he left the barracks would be a foraging cap with brass in front of it, but no tassel. Mr. DANOE addressed the jury for the defence. Sergeant Allen was recalled at the request of the jury and asked if Nortori, on his return to the 'barracks, was in such a state as to render him incapable of recognizing persons ? Witness—Hc was quite capable of so doing. Mr. Baron GUSNEY summed up, and the jury found the prisoner Not guilty. Sir James Duke was accidentallyshut out from the division in favour of the Jamaica Bill. THE WEATHEIL—A most delightful change bas taken place within these few days. The wind, which had been timid in the East for nearly the last three mcnths, changed psterday morning, and is now directly South. There have been several thunder showers, which havegreatly relieved t h e pressure of the atmosphere, andth g e rea w t eatlicr is now so favourable, that the greatest o f all grumblers, as Mr. Huskisson described the farmers,' cannot find fault with it.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNE!DAy,—We have had a great market to-day, without,;however, any altetation in prices. The sales are 1,500 bags of all descriptions. Extract of a letter from Glasgow received at the North and South Amer:can Coffee fleuse :—" I find it im possible to get any ieformation about the British Queen. Mr. Napier is at Pert GUtsgow to-day, getting up the steam for the first time.. I understand they are making a hard push to get her ready by Thursday, to leave the Clyde if they can any day his week." We have received Jamaica papers to the 15:h of May. THE. WEATHER.--" . For nearly three mon•hs," says a Montego Bay paper, " we Intve scarcely b en visited by a single shower of rain, and the grass has become withered in the pastures, and in many places where the soil is thin fairly burnt out of the ground. During the last fortnight, however, we have had some refreshing showers, which have spread a delightful verdure over the land, and the few young cane plants, as well as provisions, will be greatly benefited by this timely acquisition to their nourishment, This, by the old agriculturists, is called the tegular May season, which, if all things were not under the Bap'ist's curse, would have given seed to the sewer and bread to the reaper; but alas! poor Jamaica must still rema i n to contemplate eith patience the failing off of her next crop, ,then we may be obliged to say better half a loaf than no bread.' There is little to glean from the papers by the post; the must prominent subject, irrespective of the question of the working and non-working of the system, is the pre sentation of a piece of plate to Mr. Manderson, at Montego Illy, ST. CHRISTOPHER.—.The Gazette and Courier of this island states that the removal of the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Thomas M•Leed, to Trinidad has caused general re gret. We are truly concerned to announce that Lady Colesbrooke is suffering from a severe fall from her horse, but by the last accounts her Ladyship is said to be recovering. We have received Port of Spain papers . to the Bth of May- A country correspondent informs us that the crop of sugar epee many of the estates in St. James's parish ;sill fall considerably shorter than was first expected. Upon one of these estates, where the crop is closed, only fourteen hogsheeds of sugar have been made from sixty acres of first, and 200 acres of second crop caner, and on another five hogsheads only hove been made from forty-five acres of first crop canes ; the cause of tilt great falling off is not however assigned, so that conjectures must be bu s y until sane cogent reason shall be given for the deficiency. ST. VINCENT. --The present crop would have been large, as it was established under the Apprenticeship system, and the weather has been most favourable since the Ist of August, but frOm nezlected cultivation, it is expected to fall short one-fourth what . it would have been. Future Crop—about one half of the sugar manufactured in 1833 may be expe cte d to b e made i n 1840. Belleau - Guteea.—O ur usual files bav6 been received by the packet, and the accounts arc most desponding. The country is stated to be absolutely scorched under the pro- tracted and intense drought, and that in town and country the want of whole-some water was , telt with great severity. All the markets were ill supplied, and provisions scarce. Regret is expressed at the importation of the coolies into the Colony. An awful mortality prevails among the troops; Ten thousand of the emancipated apprentices are repre sented as wandering about the country in idleness, refusing to work. Demerara Papers to the 9 h of May have been received, from which the f”llowing are extracts : ‘‘.l3y a statement of the Receiver-General, it appears there are now in the Colonial Chest 250,393 dollars; c course there v.i3 be much to pay out of this large sum. " But a few words are necessary for an accurate account of British :Guiana. " The ,ivhole order of soci, ty is reversed ; the dependent men are those who have money, but want labourers. The labourers are the people on whose side every possible ad vantage lies ; already some poor owners of land have fallen upon desperate and destructive means of temporary . relief. " The rain that has fallen has been a grateful boon to the inhabitants of the town; in the country its effects have been limited, the ground and crops have been too severely scorched." • Barbadoes papers have been received to the sth May, from WhiCh we extract the following : "It is positively stated abroad that Mr. Cunningham, Colon:al Secretary of this island, is to have the Lieut.- Governorship of St. Kitt's. " Planters are all making their bargains for sugar now in dollars, and most of the storekeepers render their ac counts in dollars.

ARRIVAL OF THE BTH REGIMENT.-Hor Majesty's ships Pique, Andromache, and Wanderer, arrived. on Sunday last, in 17 days from Jamaica, with the Bth Regiment ; they disembarked at 2 o'clock yesterday. The Bth Regiment left Halifax about five years ago, and b r i ngs b ac k some fa miliar faces, but f ew o f the gallant corps who left our shores in health an I vigour have withstood the effccts of the pes tilential climate. COLONEL PRINCE. The conduct of this gallant officer is, we aro glad b see, appreciated as it deserves by every loyal subject in the Bri tish North American dominions. A public clinker has been given to him in Toronto. At every public festival, particularly, the recent celebrations of St. George's day in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, his name has been ho noured among the brave and the loyal with the utmost enthusiasm. Colonel Prince has done more to check the sympathizing propensity of the trt acherous Yankees, by one act of decisive energy, than all the parade of power without its exercise, and all the falsely calculated lenity of the Government, could effect. The House of Assembly of Prince Edward's Island have voted 500/, for a delegation to represent the wishes of tr at colony on the subject of a Legislative Council and other matters. (From the Royal Gazette, Fredericton, May 8.) We understand that the Licutenant-Governor has re ceived by the April mail despatches from the Secretary of State, conveying► to his Excellency the most entire appro val on the part of her Maj - sty's Government of all his measures and views in connection with the recent disputes with the State of Maine.

SCANDALOUS PUBLICATIONS._A correspon., dent rays it is the firm eet ,rmiriation of the inhabitant s of St.- Clement Danes tc cal a vestry meeting, to discus th e best means of preventing the future publication of a cer ., tain scantlilaus paper within that parish. We have received from our Correspondent at Philadel phia a letter, dated May 25, from which we make the fol lowing interesting extracts :-- PHILADELPHIA, MAY 25. I regret to inform you that the state of banks, business, and money matters, in some regions of the south and south west, is just now of a most unfavourable charactcr—l par ticularly allude to Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio, and parts of Tennessee and Georgia. At Mobile the pecuniary diffi culties are said to be beyond all precedent ; while, in Mis sissippi law-suits and seizures arc continual, and the state of feeling, according to some of the papers and private letters, is said to be such, that the otr.ces of the law are executed with much difficulty. Indeed, sheras give extra tire e instead of seizing, and but few ca 3 fulfil their husi nets engagements at maturity. At Cincinnati too (the gteat emporium of the pork trade) heavy complaints arc made, and instances of from three to five per cent. per month are mentioned as having been paid for temporary loans. lam well convinced that the embarrassment will soon subside at Cincinnati; hut in the southern States I have mentioned such usurious rates of interest are by no means uncommon, and in these districts I do not sec much prospect of its subsiding until after the next cotton crop is gathered in. As may naturally be expected, this state of things has tended greatly to excite the public mind ; alai I rem rd with feelings of pain the perpetration of a lawless outrage by a mob at Decatur, Mississippi. For some reason or other that has not yet transpired, the passions of the mul titude were much inflamed against the Real Estate Batik at that place. A large concourse assembled and burned the batik, together with all the books and papers. Great excitement prevailed there. You will naturally inquire what is the cause of all this pecuniary distress in the South? I: is answered in one word—Overtreding ! Merchants, bankers, money-lenders, planters, importers, exporters, manufacturers, and agri culturists, pursue their avocations with such extraordinary zeal, that they rush madly into that common commercial vice of the age. These remarks are chiefly confined to the States I have mentioned, for I em happy to inform you that affairs at New Orleans are tolerably prosperous, all things consi dered ; while in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, I have seldom known them better, especially when it is remembered that the spring trade has ceased, and a summer lassitude has already begun. Money is to be had in New York at 7 (legal New York interest) to 9 yes cent. on good paper, and in this city it is still easier. Stocks have risen, and are rising. Confidence prevails. Moderate speculations and public improvements arc ,pro greasing, and generally speaking the state of commerce, and the tone of public feeling, are sound and healthy. In Mississippi—as some time since in Michigan—the banking systems are radically bad, while many of the banks are in the hands of unprincipled adventurers. In hose States they are now gradually adopting the wiser sys tems of the north ; and I have no doubt that with patience, and also with the prudence that will have been taught by experience, matters will soon light themselves. The affairs of Canada are of an exciting complexion. A fees days since, an American schooner—the Weeks, of Oseve,go—while on her way to Ogdensburg, had occasion to call at Brockville, Upper Canada. At that port she was seized by Col. Fraser, in consequence, as it is said, of her " having a cannon on board." The truth is, she was taking the cannon from Oswego to Ogdensburg, for a military company at the latter place. Col. Worth, of the United States army, with a small military force, moved toward; the opposite.bank of the river, and sent .. a note, req u i r i ng t h e surrender uf the s c h ooner . The answer was delayed until the following afternoon ; and in the meantime the mob in B;ockvillc seized the cannon, and paraded it in triumph, and committed depredations on board the schooner, where they broached casks of liquor, stole fruit, and were guilty of other outrages. A military force arrived from King ston, Upper Canada, arrested three ringleaders, and finally the schooner and cannon- were delivered up. It is deeply to be regretted that now the feeling of agitation has sub sided in the United States, the minds of the Canadians should be continually excited by Tory writers in the pro vinces. The crops in Canada promise well. Sixty-six vessels passed along the Welland Canal in April, forty-four of which were American. In 1838 only sixteen passed along during the same period. Another speck of trouble has reached us from the dis puted territory. Mr. M`Laughlin, the Briiish agent, has ordered off C a pt a i n Ny e an d an American party from Fish River, which is said to be now under the jurisdic tion of Maine, according to the Lite temporary compromise. Maine has sent an extra force to the spot. The Maine People say the British are erecting a fort at Madawaska dsuhtful ! It is now decided that the Upper Canada Bauks are to resume specie pa3raents on the Ist of November. The most painful news we have from the North is the statement of a famine in Newfoundland. Hundreds have been ler dais without food. Some have died. United States Bank Stock 1181 to 119. Cottoa looks rather downward, owing to the fall in price at Liverpool and Havre, but no change has yet occurred. Sterling exchange in state quo. Flour and grain are still falling. Sugar and et-ALT are rather more animated, but at the same quotations as in my last.— Chronicle. (From the .IVew Orleans True American.) LATER FROM MEXICO. Dates from Tampico have been received in town up to the 4th inst. They were in instant apprehension of an attack from Bustamente, as he had begun to move from Vitturia. His advanced posts were Et IlErcasitas, Tansr,snequi, and Presos. A decree of the Government, bearing data the 22d of April, has been issued, disavowing the acts of the Cu tom•house officers at Tampico in allowing foreign goods to be introduced into their port, contrary to the edict closing it, and more especially in levying the duties below the actual tariff. M. Goraztiza warns the' people of Tampico that the Government will not ba answerable for any excesses that may hi committed by the army of the republic, shouid that city fall before Bustamente. All trade was paralyzed. Alexia and Urrea were not bound to Vera Cruz, as was belicvcd.They were marching upon Puebla, and thence they intended to descend upon Mexico. To prevent'this latter move, Gen. Inelam, with 1,000 troops, had been stationed by Santa Anna at Perole, and General Vasques, with 2,000, at Huahuachinango. ( From the New York Gazette.) RECALL OF SIR G. ARTHUR. We lear❑ from Toronto that Sir G. Arthur bas been re called, and that the Hon. F. Alaule has been appointed Lieutenant-Governor in his place. This report may prove to be unfounded, but we arc inclined to believe it true. It is also'said that the entrance of Mr. Maule upon the admi nistration of the province is to be signalised by a general act of amnesty. EVEN ED rr i ON. 11:1E1 ROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. -.0- The Globe of last evening makes the following Amer' vations on Mr. Macaulay's speech last night, in the House of Commons, on the Ballot : —" It would be as impossible, as the attempt would be injurious, to abridge Mr. Macau lay's speech. For force of argument, extent of research , and felicity of illustration, it is worthy of being ranked among the most splendid specimens of ParliamentarY eloquence. While it captivated it convinced ; and bad Members been allowed to vote according to the dictates of reason and justice enforced by that exhibition of both, a large majority in favour of the motion would have attested their triumph in its adoption. Other interests for a time prevailed ; but the day is near when these will be com pelled to yield before the majesty of public opinion, based on truth and impelled by necessity. The Times emploj's an ambiguous expression of Lord Howick to convey the impression that in consenting to make the Ballot an open question the Cabinet intended to retard rather than acce lerate its adoption. Nothing could be Luther from the obvious design of Lord Howick, as the whole scope eh's. argument fully proves." The Courier speaks as follows on the subject of the Ballot :—" Of all the objections against the Ballot, none is so idle as that which sees or - affects to see a difficulty in arranging the necessary machinery for securing the secrecy of the vote. In our club-houses, where the Aristocracy of the land arc very willinrs to enjoy a pro tection which they wish to withhold from the humbler classes, no such difficulty is ever experienced; and in France and America the system of secret voting has so long and so satisfactorily prevailed, that we cannot give much credit fur sincerity to those who seem to aPPre bend these visionary impediinents. What is *to prevent_ every electrr from writing on a slip of paper the name of the candidate for whom he votes, and, after having folded it up, depositing the said slip in an urn or Ballot box ? After the votes have been duly counted and checked, let these slips of paper be publicly destroyed by the returning officer, and all means of an inquisiterial test are done away with." The Standard thus expresses itself on the Ballot:- - " As to the question of the Ballot, upon which so muc h has been said and written, we have long since formed and avowed fur ourselves opinions which we see no reason to modify. We are convinced that, to secure secret voting . among a people so universally frank ar.d high-spirited as the people of this country, would be perfectly impracti cable to any extent worth the least 'attention ; but that, " secret voting could he secured, its effect would be greed) , to aggrandise the influence of property and rank, and in finitely to extend Conservative principles—with thie draws back, however, of much embittering party feeling, and ex tending that feeling through all the business of life." The Times cf this morning, recurring to the question of the Ballot, evinces much alarm at the rapid progress it has made within the last few rears, as is evident from the following passage :—" The Ballot, as a method of votieg for Membsrs of Parliament, would place the representation of the United Kingdom in the hands of the moat s numer ous, that is the lo wes t c l ass o f e l ectors. And since it is admitted on all sides that the Ballot' being once carried, universal suffrage must immediately follow, .that class of , electors would consist of the very lowest of the peoll e ' This would verify with a vengeance the naive admission of Mr. Macaulay—viz., that " the worst of despotisms is • 3 despotism carried on by means of the machinery of free' dont." Now this is a cession to the mob of a dominion at. the same time irresistible and irresponsible over thereatl the community ; an d i t i s b ut f a i r to state, that we li°l such a power in abhorrence as compared with the class' s which earn their bread by manual labour—by that species of labour which is most unfavourable to mental cultivation and acquirement of any kind. It is our firm conviction that the proprietary classes, where resides the largest amount of both, have been already more than stifficientlg weakened." The Morning Herald, alluding to the Ministerial mei' rity of " Ten" last night on the Jamaica Bill, appear s to derive inexp ress ibl e com f ort from the fact that it is ittsd twice as larg e as t h e l ast majority on the question; f:t, infers, ther e f ore , w i t h exquisite logical precision,* that All— nisters are j us t tw i ce as weak as they were before :—" 'l,le third readin g o f th e J ama i ca Bill was carried, last nig h t , a majority of TEN.' When it i s cons id ere d t h at Minis ters have ab an d ene d many of the most ohnox ieus clauses of their f ormer Bill ; and ' when it is cons id er ed, moreover, that the f ears an d h opes of the Radical support ers of Ministers h ave b een acted on in all imaginable tra ys by their patrons—th e ma j or i ty of ' TEN' would appear to b e even more dam na t ory o f t h e policy of the Whig Cabi net,than the pre v i ous ma j or i ty of • FIVE.' If the present occu pants of Downi ng _ street h a d not, long ago,.bade ad i eu to . the last tra ces o f i n d ependent feeling, they would rega rd this judgment pronounced by Parliament on their a mended Jamaica Bill, as nods° to quit.' Th e Whig sense f : duty to th e Q ueen ' will not, of course, permit the Wing s to abandon place and pay ;—and Whigs have always .been found unable to exhibit that sense of duty any where but k in office." The Morning Ch ron i c l e , i n t h e course of a leading article su„egester. by Sir James Graham's violent speech' against the Ballot on Tuesday night in the Commons , directly charges the Right Hon. Baronet with having " solemnly" recommended the Ballot to William the • Fourth's Cabinet, when he was himself a Member of that Cabinet :—" Sir James Graham has declared in the face of the nation that by his opposition to the Ballot he was prepared to stand or fall.' If so, he is ready for :his .fate; and fail he mast, as a Legislator claiming confidence of the people. But one construction can be put upon some parte of the Baronet's speech. He emphatically affirmed that ' he had n-ver in the whole course of his life vo.cel for the Ballot, nor ever advocated the Ballot. He had constantly refuied to support it, &c. &c.' And we affirm as emphatically that there stands his name, James Graham, in his own handwriting., to the solemn recommendation of the Ballot to King William I V.'s Cabinet. Denied it by implication and inuendo he has; let him deny it directly, if he dare. He cannot rail . the signature from that bond. He cannot redeem the for feiture incurred by his speech on Tut sday night. No, not if he were willing to cut his heart out to pay the penalty. There they stand; the damning characters -burning i n to him, - like the letters of fire that blasted the sight of ancient honour fallen from its high estate,' and emblazoned its shame on the eternal pages of history. I always hated the Ballot, witness my heart, James Graham.' So goes one testimonial ; and the other, I recommend the Ballot, witness my hand, James Graham.'" The Morning Advertiser contains the subjoined remarks on the subject of the Ballot:—" Tce proceedings on the Ballot-question, on Tuesday, give twofold causes of gratu lation. The progress which the question makes is rapid, and promises a sure and early success ; and the principle of open questions, so indispensable to the conduct of Par liament:my affairs by a Liberal Government, is established by a marked precedent, and vindicated by the best and most convincing arguments. The fear of breaking up the Go vernment, by pushing the question of the Ballot, offers no, longer a barrier to the effurts of the most earnest,: while every new election, either by augmenting the number of victims to intimidation, or by inducing the Tories to forego that barbarous' and tyrannical method of securing sufftagei will withdraw strength even from their ranks." The Morning Post contains the following remarks. in reference t o l ast night's de - I)sec in the Commons, on th e Education question :—" The language of Ministers in re lation to religion, and to the Established Church, upon the education question, can scarcely be supposed to belhat which they like to use. It is that they do not dare to speak other wise. The general character of these Ministers as private men, and the circumstances of connection and society by which they arc surrounded, forbid the supposition thatef a free f choice were open to them, they would speak as they ha ve done. B u t t h ere i s this party which it is expedient t° flstte r(they call it "conciliate") and that party - vvhich it s it ' is expedient not to offend, and bearing those points of policy/ , in mind, rather than the manful declaration of their oyin judgment and their own feelings, they sacrifice the cause of truth, and envelope matters of the most sacred inirr - e st tance in an odious net of trick and compromse, which come i n g in the end to weakness, folly, and wrong." opt'. On the evening of the 24th ult., the anniversary •of the bi r th-d ay o f M a h omet and that of the Queen (*)f f England, were celebrated at Constantinople. The pro • phet was born on tho 25th of June (some twelve centuries ago), but his faithful followers, according to eastern tom, commence the cebbration on the evening of the 2-Ith, after sun -set.
